Reblog The Writers’ Fortune Cookie For Luck!

FRIENDLY NEIGHBOURHOOD PUNK ASS ARCHIVIST HERE WITH A MESSAGE

if you cannot protest or donate, and you’ve been retweeting and reblogging your ass off, here’s another thing you can do from home to help out later on down the line.

we are dealing with a fascist police state. fascists love nothing more than controlling the media and taking away primary sources of their evildoing, so lets take some steps toward taking that power away from them.

the wayback machine is a tool from the internet archive, a nonprofit website that seeks to capture websites as they change over time. the wayback machine is free to use and will be able to help protect all of the first-person accounts of the crimes being committed by the state during these protests for human rights.

this is what the homescreen of the wayback machine looks like:

that blue circle is where you put a permalink to a tweet you want to add to the wayback machine

that red circle is how you find the permalink to a tweet. click “copy link to tweet” and put it in the blue circle above, and there you have it! save what you see. don’t let anyone take away all of the documentation of these crimes the state has committed and declare it fake news.

fuck the cops. fuck orange mussolini. fuck racists, and fuck fascist government regimes.

dont forget: there’s nothing more punk than voting, libraries, and loving each other.

The chronicle of the monk Herbert of Reichenau for the year 1021 ends “My brother Werner was born on November 1.“ 

1021 was not an uneventful year. The emperor began a campaign into Italy. Illustrious abbots died. There was an earthquake. But Herbert took the time to note, at the end of the year, that his brother was born. 

Of such acts of tenderness is history made. 

At first, all seems normal.  But then, just as you were about to leave the classroom, you and all of your classmates noticed that the door was gone.

“Who did it‽  Who divided by zero‽”  your teacher yells, clawing at the walls. 

You slowly raise your hand with your feeble excuse of “I just wanted to see what would happen.”

The teacher tries to explain why you should never have done that, but alas, it is too late.  The floor opens up, as well as the walls.  The end is upon us, you realize, before you are sucked into the black hole that formed.

Your math teacher has always warned you to “NEVER EVER divide by 0.” One day, you decide to see what happens when you divide by zero.

10,000 reblogs and I will translate the script of Bee Movie into a language that I will invent solely for this purpose

wait, but what about major changes in your personality over time?  Does that mean that you are always the same person you were before?

me, a gentile, completely engrossed in a very long thread in which several Jewish tumblr users draw on the tenets, laws, and philosophies of Judaism to support their claims in a debate about whether it would be okay for a dragon to light a candle with its own fiery breath on the sabbath

So you mean cardboard? 

matzah but it tastes good

Hey Tumblr! It’s been a few years since I last did this but I’m back at it again. I like to think I’m the reason they’ve changed the system to get free books but either way nows your chance to help out. I know the power of the internet so just hear me out right quick as I ask for a simple favor. See those cereal boxes up there? If you buy any Kellogg’s product with that Free Book logo keep the receipt! They are doing it so that when you submit a picture of your receipt showing you purchased the product you can get a free book for yourself and donate a book. Or you can have both books donated! It’s super easy to sign up on their site so if you feel like doing that please do! Or maybe you’re lazy and you don’t want to do that. I’m asking you to send me a picture of your receipt! I set up an email especially for this: tumblrbooks4students@gmail.com Now I’m sure you’re wondering why I’m bringing it up, so here goes.

I teach kindergarten at a school where the kids have little to nothing. Through generous donations (government, three square, various community partners, etc.) the kids get backpacks, clothes, shoes, free breakfast/lunch, and some school supplies. The school is not in the best part of town. I’ve had students who live with grandparents because their own parents are in jail, kids who have parents that don’t have custody over them for various reasons, and so on and so forth. Now I am trying to get my kids to read books, but they literally don’t have any books at home that they can use to practice their reading. With COVID going on it’s going to be hard to have students get their hands on books because sharing is going to be a no go.

Here’s where you come in. If you happen to buy one of these specially marked boxes and don’t plan on using the receipt please send me a picture of that receipt (tumblrbooks4students@gmail.com). If 20 people on here send me a code I’ll be able to get 20 books, which will easily allow me to get each of my students a brand new book of their own. I will gladly take a picture of a handwritten thank you note from my students to show you how excited they are to get a book. They’re five so expect something awesome.

Even if you have no receipt or don’t buy the product I’d appreciate the signal boost. Thanks in advance.
