As noted above, I'm an archivist by trade, dad by calling, and a 51 y.o. cishet man. I've been using Tumblr on & off since circa 2009 but I started this blog in 2022. I mostly reblog stuff with an effort to share posts that don't have many notes or are cool things I find from years and years ago.
My fandoms: Star Trek, Doctor Who, Star Wars, The Muppets
Mostly though I post about great books, great movies, and great music as well as photography, birding, cats, theater, dance, Boston and New England things, women's hockey, and left-leaning politics.
My Tumblr side blogs:
MetroSoxual - my baseball blog where I mostly post about the Mets and Red Sox (hence the name)
Pod-the-Mts - where I share the best podcast episodes I'm listening to.
Tumbl-Reference Shelf - where I reblog all those really informative and helpful (and sometimes silly) Tumblr posts so I can find them easily later on.
Other places you can find me on the internet:
Panorama of the Mountains - my Wordpress blog
Street Archivist - my Instagram collection of street art, graffiti, and sticker art
LibraryThing - catalog of all the books I've ever read!
Letterboxd - catalog of all the movies I've ever watched!
Bluesky - where I share my mostly random thoughts
O-the-Mts means "of the mountains" although I've never actually lived in the mountains.

there was a great study a few years that went into the whole "ppl online are bigger jerks than irl cuz theres a virtual wall and no repercussions" and the researchers were expecting to see that be the case but it turns out that people who were really angry or argumentative online were also found to just be assholes in person and people who were pretty patient and nice online were found to be patient and nice in real person as well
and it just debunked that whole cynical idea that people will naturally be mean if theres no punishment for it
the researchers found that being online didnt make people more hostile, but that being online allowed already hostile people to dominate forum conversations, and the less aggressive people were much less likely to reply or engage, ending in just the aggressive people bickering at eachother

A lot of people are ragging on the 'cable diverted to avoid Dobby's grave after Harry Potter fans raise a stink' thing and while I also love ragging on Harry Potter fans being weird, in this case it looks like the story was completely made up.
tl;dr: There's no evidence the interview that this was mentioned in even exists, no evidence the route of the cable has ever changed, and the whole story seems to originate from one dude's podcast.
The story also broke into mainstream via the Daily Mail, who are ... rarely if ever honest or accurate.
I can't believe you would call him a misogynist just because of his overt contempt for women. And what else? Constantly calling women bitches? But he literally has a few cool girls he approves of. For now.
