Nope. This is what AUs are for.

But let’s talk about the gray Henley of sex ...

I saw Endgame this morning. Yes, I dragged my tired body out of bed at 7:15 to get to the 9am show. The parking lot was packed which means there were people who were in the theaters for an even earlier show. This is not a small theater complex, and I’m guessing at least 8 theaters were showing Endgame. When I left, there were lines of people waiting for theaters to let out. My showing was probably 3/4 full.

I sat next to a man and his son, and after the show was over, the dad asked me if I was all right, because I was sitting there, sobbing. Yes, I am a total watering pot. 

So back to the movie. I’m so, so torn. I loved it, but I feel like I did after LotR and the Return of the King. It’s like the passing of something magical, that has been a part of my life since 2008. Fortunately, Marvel doesn’t show any sign of slowing down and I can look forward to seeing some great movies featuring amazing characters.

 I am objecting to Tumblr’s new content ban - not for banning  sites promoting child pornography or sex trafficking, but for going after content that is adult in nature, intended to raise awareness of issues of sexuality, gender identity, and sexual health. No access should be denied to posts relating to these important issues. Also, as many libraries have discovered, filtering content often denies access to websites regarding these issues.

Tumblr was considered a “safe” place to find answers to questions, to help people facing bullying, body image negativity, gender issues, and bigotry from a community that has faced the same problems.

Fandoms that stray outside the policies are no longer welcome here. These include Marvel, DC, manga, anime, and gaming which are huge parts of the Tumblr community. They will suffer due to this ban.

And, frankly, some of the sites being flagged as explicit are ridiculous. Nobody could find anything objectionable in them - except Tumblr’s “sophisticated” filters.
