But now it's been almost ten years since they broke up, and Tommy moved on. His heart healed and found a new home a long time ago. That familiar warmth in his chest at seeing Evan slowly changes into simple nostalgic fondness, as Evan makes his way through the crowd closer to him. "Tommy, hi! I thought that was you," he says, eyes sparkling, as he's grinning in astonishment. "Wow, I can't believe it's actually you. It's been so long!" "Evan," Tommy breathes.

with lou ferrigno jr being on the incredibly popular show, the pitt, the lies about him are being spread further from people who hate him because he was half of bucktommy and they love buddie, from people that say he was rude to crew on the 911 set based on literally nothing, people that hate him because they just have some kind of vendetta against him. and it’s actually infuriating to watch when it can be so easily disputed but nobody cares to fact check or even think further than a random comment section.

and for context, his father lou ferrigno is absolutely a maga piece of shit, he loves trump and is probably everything people say about his son. like, lou jr’s own sister (shanna), has gone on record multiple times these last few years stating how he is a bad person, parent and husband, who abandoned his wife as she was diagnosed with alzheimers and has been trying to destroy their family ever since. and in february 2026, their mother passed away. lou jr was incredibly close to her and is still close with his sister, and they have both cut ties with their dad. so for that on top of an endless parade of hate for 2 whole years now, it’s just incredibly sad.

"So," Buck says, feeling kind of nervous, "you used to fuck my boyfriend." "Yeah," Sal says casually, taking a sip of his beer, eyes not leaving Buck's. He's sitting in Buck's kitchen, opposite him, and Tommy just went to the bathroom. And Buck has no idea how to talk to this man.

i have been chimneyz for what feels like a lifetime time, but it is time for a change <3

tagging some mutuals i know im forgetting some of yall I apologize

So we're all pissed at the new update as we should be and I've been seeing many people proposing blackouts, which is amazing! But all the dates are different and people might get confused at what's happening when, so I just want to organize every blackout (at least that I saw) in one place.

So far I saw six people with dates.

The earliest one, organized by @yourlocalfandomfriendo begins on March 18th and will last 48 hours.

This overlaps with a second proposed blackout by @veejiez for March 19th.

There is also one on the 20th proposed by @daysleftofsecondterm and another one on the same day from 6AM UTC to 6AM UTC on the 21st by @everythingwsnormalhere.

These three days are all very soon so not everyone may see them in time to participate, but if you are able to participate for any or all of these days, I highly encourage you do. Otherwise there are two more blackouts coming up:

The next one after these will be on March 24th as organized by @aroacesafeplaceforall who suggested doing 12 hours.

And the last one, which I personally have a lot of hope for as it's a major day for activity on Tumblr and a blackout then could be especially impactful: April 1st, as proposed by @darkwood-sleddog

There is also a discord set up by @yourlocalfandomfriendo and @aroacesafeplaceforall for anyone interested in joining in!

SO OVERALL, it may sound like a lot, but no one expects everyone to participate to every date here. But PLEASE try to participate in at least one or two of these, even if you feel it may not do much.

Typical strikes, the ones we hear about all the time, win by withholding their labour for consistent periods of time; that's the power people have at work because that's what's exploited.

For blackout strikes, we need to withhold our attention; the resource we own which is exploited through the selling of both advertisements and data.

My comparison of blackout strikes with regular strikes will be for a whole other post, but for the time being, just know that

withholding our attention is our digital bargaining weapon

Tumblr literally lost 63% of its monthly traffic from 2024 to 2025; they are not in a position to play around with those of us still here.

So PLEASE try participating. We cannot let every decent online space get enshittified with no care or consideration for the communities using those spaces.
