Agent John Facchino

Kindness does not require passivity or social grace. Kind characters can stick to their guns and stand up for what they believe in. They can yell and scream and curse. Kind characters can be angry and disappointed when others do not show them the same compassion they show others. Kind characters can be tactless, oblivious. They may be rough around the edges (but have a heart of gold).

Kind characters often value justice and strive to stay connected to their humanity, even when the things they must do threaten to strip it away from them. Kind characters sometimes have to make difficult choices. Sometimes, kind characters even behave in a way that is unkind.

Kindness is complex, and it’s only a single solitairy characteristic that contributes to a character’s personality. While it can absolutely present as soft-spoken, honest, and open-hearted (my personal FAVE), it certainly doesn’t have to be.

I was just semi-complaining that I was still looking for a decent way to backup my +6k posts without having to use paid services or even just wordpress (which has an import from tumblr tool that asks for permission to access your blog and also make posts), when I decided to actually put some effort into my google search. 

Results were positive: I have successfully backed up my blog* 

*By which I mean: everything that I have ever posted.  Not included: drafts, queue, likes, followers, following, comments, notes, chat. 

I followed this method (word by word), and now have a 450 MB folder on my computer with the name of my blog on it containing: 

1. Folder “Archive” (contains .html files listed by month) 2. Folder “Media” (contains gifs and images, mine has +1k files in it; might contain also audios but I have no way of confirming that because I’ve never reblogged an audio post from this blog) 3. Folder “Posts” (contains single .html files, each one a post; I have +4k files in it) 4. Folder “Theme” (contains only my avatar, but it might be a matter of if you have personalized themes or not) 5. .html file “Index” (by opening it it will give you the archive of your blog organized by month; clicking on a month will open up the archive for that month, and you’ll be able to read all the posts for that month as if you were on your blog**, except sans your theme graphic, with each page containing 50 posts)

**I can see gifs, links, embedded videos, tags, number of notes (but I can’t open up the notes, clearly), text is also correctly formatted. 

So yeah, in case anyone wants a very quick way to back up their blog, it took me less than 10 minutes. 

MEMO #72

Agent Barton is asked to cease running up to landing helicopters, drop-ships, and planes with a bucket and a squeegee stick and then forcibly washing their windows. He is also asked to stop demanding a dollar for the “service.”

“It’s time. Any Questions?”

“It’s really tragic”

“I wonder who that used to be?”

“Let’s change the subject!”

“Forget about that poor sonuvabitch”

“Tell him we’re here.”

“I guess they’re finally gonna kill us all. Alright.”

“I’m here to tell you there’s hope.”

“None of that matters, but it’s important to me that you know that.”

“He did not look like his job description”

“Shut up, you’re all gonna die.”

“The man with the mustache told me to do it.”

“You kids have no upper body strength”

“Okay, when you get kidnapped…”

“I thought I was gonna be murdered my entire childhood.”

“I thought our transaction was over.”

“I didn’t drink water the entire time.”

“Do my friends hate me or do I just need to go to sleep?”

“Hey, do you want me to kill that guy for you?”

“I am now gross.”

“That’s how much I hate that shit”

“I get grumpy about some things.”

“Tonight’s no good, how ‘bout Wednesday.”

“Famous people are weird as shit.”

“May I look at my stuff please?”

“I smell a robot.”

“Think about that for two minutes and tell me you don’t just want to walk into the ocean.”

“It’s doesn’t matter why, but I was sitting in a gazebo.”

“Last November, the strangest thing happened…”

“Everyone, everywhere, is super mad about everything, all the time!”

“He’s as confused as you are.”

“I didn’t know he knew how to do that.”

“We’re well past that.”

“First of all, get out of here with your facts.”

“Because I wasn’t paying attention!”

“I’m allowed to make fun of my [spouse], I asked [her/him/them] and [she/he/they] said yes.”

“What do you think those guys are celebrating.”

“Oh, nonono, we all know that.”

“Whoa, what’s this place?”

“Your story doesn’t have a lot of details.”

“We don’t know our lines for shit.”

However, as that is a stupid-ass decision, SHIELD is electing to ignore it.
