So he’s not sure why he turns up at a kink club, much less why he starts hanging out with Sam Wilson, probably the only other guy on the planet with a tighter security clearance than his—not that either of them much wants to talk about work. Two airmen, both with troubled pasts, find solace in each other one humid Gulf Coast summer. And the strength of the pull John feels toward Sam surprises him more than the odds of their meeting at all.

I didn't even know postblock was a THING you just made my tumblr experience so much better! xx Meg

It is the BEST thing. I could probably handle Tumblr without Blacklist, but PostBlock-- at first I didn’t install that extension because I was like ‘oh my wonderful friends never put horribly offensive things on my dash!’ but then some Feelgood Story about, I don’t know, a Deaf person’s Heartwarming Somethingorother Bullshit went viral and it was three screens full of photos, and it was definitely one of those ones that’s, sure, it’s heartwarming, but only if you don’t think about all of the systemic awfulness that brought it to this crisis point where it was only someone’s exceptional hard work that could resolve the situation, I genuinely don’t remember, but I was like

in a single browsing session I saw it ten times, and I was like, what was that extension, I am installing this immediately

and now everyone can just rest easy, go ahead and reblog that five-screens-long photo-heavy rant with bonus totally-not-cited pseudoscience, you can be perfectly confident I hit “j” and PostBlocked it the very first time I saw it. (Ooh also the extremely huge gifsets full of reaction images from fandoms I’m not in and media properties I never consumed?) (also every fucking one of those “that’s an x, you’re thinking of y” threads.) And I’m pretty sure that extension was invented expressly for “do you love the color of the sky?”, which I blocked about six years ago and so all the parodies of it don’t scare me at all.

However. This doesn’t work when browsing on mobile?

It’s sexier for words to be cozy like that

laaaazy day for me, but it's raining here so I feel justified in being snuggly & drinking tea. hmm what else, made late night eggs benedict. good friends got married this weekend which was just a big party in the country with bonfires and camping and drunken jam sessions. :)) why was your day crappy?
