My name is Jesse, I’m a disabled trans man, and I really need help to move away from my unsupportive family and a state that’s becoming increasingly hostile. I have a place to go, I just need to get there by the end of the year.
If you can help, I would appreciate it more than I can say.
Hey guys.
This is my very good friend Jesse of many years, who is in a nasty position, and who we are hoping can move in with me as soon as possible. We’ve worked out a timeline and cost breakdown but due to his poor health and other complications, he frankly needs all the funding he can get.
We’ve worked out a timeline, budget and execution plan, all we need is the funds, and donating really will help save his life in a very material way.
Thank you all who can donate, or who can help boost this.
even with those four numbers there are countless possible combinations good luck with figuring out which one is the right one you punk
*straightens calculator*
It’s pretty likely that it’s a four digit number, and as there are four digits chosen there, that means that there cannot be any repetition. This mean that there are:
n!/(n-4)! possible orders. As ‘n’ is 4 (number of digits available). 4!/0! which becomes 4x3x2x1/1 which simplifies to 24. That means that there are 24 possible combinations of codes. This would take you about two or three minutes to input all possible codes.
Unless an alarm goes off if you don’t get it right in 3 tries
*straightens calculator again*
Kick the fucking door in
well ‘technically’ the code is most likley 1970. statistically, a majority of people, when told to choose a 4 digit code will choose their birth year. and this key pad is obviously a few years old to put it nicely, thats most likley it.
some sherlock holmes shit just went down over here
No, no, no. Don’t base your deductions of psychology. Let’s talk chemistry. When you first press a button, there’s more of the natural oils on your skin, and therefore it wears down the numbers on the keys faster. Obviously 0 is the first one, then. Try 0791 first.
Sherlock out.
woah.
it got better
and this is why the sherlock fandom could either rule the world or end it….
Close, but not quite, I think. People will almost always choose a number they can remember. What’s memorable about 0791? Try 0719 - a birthday, 19th of July. That is more likely.
Those deductions are great and all, but unnecessary.
The light is green.
The door is already open.
And that’s why we have a John Watson.
This is “top 10 favorite posts” level.
Omg, it’s actually on my dash! This post is like a fossil!
Idk if I’ve rebloged this before, but I’ll reblog this legend again
Smithsonian? I’ve found the quintessential Tumblr and Sherlock fandom post. Yes. I would consider it definitive.
Ahh it’s back.
“And that’s why we have a John Watson”, indeed 😂
Legend of a post. 10/10 recommend reblogging.
this post is on my dash I feel HONORED
THE POST OF LEGENDS HAS RESURFACED ON MY DASH
I’VE ONLY EVER SEEN THIS IN SCREENSHOTS OMG
On your dash? I dig for gold like this,,, by looking at my mutual pages.
I’ve only seen this on Pinterest!
*gasp* THE SACRED TEXTS!
:O
THIS IS A LEGENDARY POST I HAVE BEEN GRACED BY IT’S APPEARANCE!!!
Why did Tumblr stop doing stuff like this, it’s genuinely fascinating, and cute that we include our favorite media in things we do
Well. Since you asked. I was on tumblr as this post was being built in 2013. The height of superwholock. Which has, since then, been declared peak cringe. So people picked new fandoms to openly love in earnest. Which were also eventually declared cringe. Eventually the youth decided to cut out the middleman, and declared loving anything in earnest to be fully cringe. So it has been a really long time since the day to day users of tumblr have let any fandom create anything nearing the cultural phenomenon that was superwholock. And it is exactly those cultural phenomena that are needed to create posts like this.
So. What happened? Cringe culture happened.
Try and imagine what would happen if this post wasn’t the “sacred texts” only ever seen in screen shots and in pinterest. Try and imagine any current pop culture detective media fandom creating this post today. They’d be slaughtered for being cringe by the time (in this case) Sherlock was mentined.
But because this post is 10 years old and completely broke containment, it’s celebrated when it graces our dashes.
I blazed a small fandom event announcement. Because I was genuinely excited to be part of a Big Bang for a wonderful movie. One of the first responses I got was “Why would you blaze this?” Because of genuine excitement. Because I wanted to celebrate the friends I’d met in the fandom To spread joy to people who might also like the content but hadn’t seen it yet. The fact that that was genuinely not realized made me sad. I love thing, I celebrate thing. I’m too old for cringe. Cringe is dead. Love what you love. Enjoy the small things in life, it’s too short to do otherwise.
CRINGE CULTURE DIED AND WE KILLED IT.
SPREAD THE LOVE FOR YOUR FAVORITE SHOWS

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
poor things, well we should definitely make this easier on them by never repeatedly mentioning their name and deeds on the “reblog things forever” website
I find … disturbing things when I’m trying to rebuild my mother’s computer music collection. She just realized that the last time her comp guy upgraded her computer he didn’t move her music files. I’m pissed off at this, but it was a couple years ago, so yeah, going to my cheapy download site to find stuff for her that I don’t already have. To rebuild it for her. TBF most of her stuff was either cd rips or stuff…I d/led for her.
I did not know that Tom Jones had covered the Talking Heads’ Burning Down the House. For me, not as good/successful as when Johnny Cash covered modern songs.
I will not be downloading it. For my mother (ha!) or me.
you have mentioned that there are very specific rules surrounding “crossing the picket line” in the wga strike (if i’m not mistaken) and i was wondering if you would explain what that means/what those rules are? /gen
Picketing is a form of protest, done by workers on strike to draw attention to their cause and to let other people know there’s a labour dispute happening. Crossing the picket line means that you are physically passing the line of striking workers in order to get to whatever is happening on the other side. Often other unions won’t cross a picket line – so when the WGA picket a studio it’s not uncommon for Teamsters and other union members not to cross, forcing the production to stop.
Some people, by the nature of their contracts, have to cross the picket lines. (Directors, for example.) Some people shouldn’t but do. And some obey their consciences and do not cross.
So watching a show isn’t crossing a picket line. Crossing a picket line is actually crossing a picket line.
I think we should let Ron Perlman burn a house down. You know, as a treat.
Thanks @ingdamnit for bringing this to my attention.
Someone on Twitter also remarked, “I think if some [entertainment CEO]’s house, you know, burns down accidentally… we should all do the Spartacus thing and claim to be Ron Perlman.”
Thinking about when I worked at a shitty restaurant + one night it was just me + 3 other women on closing shift, so some guy came in the back and waved a knife around, presumably for money but I’m not actually certain, bc he was met with the bartender holding a much bigger knife, a tiny teenager wielding a cast iron pan, an elderly woman holding up a crockpot of clearly boiling water, and me, turning on the meat slicer with eye contact for maximum effect. He left, but the moral of the story is not girl power or whatever, it’s just. Why the fuck would you threaten a room full of underpaid and sleep-deprived blue-collar workers surrounded by lethal weapons.
Even ignoring the quantity of workers or weaponry, I think there’s something special about specifically
Meghan was a working actress for decades. She was a working royal for 18 months. She benefits massively from her show reaching syndication. She stands to lose depending on how Netflix negotiated residuals for Suits with it being out of cable reruns now.
Meghan knows what it’s like to scrimp and scrap for years. She was a working actress doing bit parts her whole 20s!
The fact is that honestly if she didn’t marry Harry, Suits might have been her biggest hit and again residuals would have a huge impact on her. She completely has a leg to stand on joining this fight. Just like she had one speaking up for BLM.
In fact, A-Listers NEED to be using their spotlight to highlight the strike and the working actors who make up the bulk of Hollywood who don’t make millions per movie. It’s important that people like Meryl Streep or Jennifer Lawrence or Matt Damon or Margot Robbie join the strike. A-list talent walking off set and refusing to take part in press and promo is part of what gives the Union huge bargaining power even if those elite actors are not necessarily hurting financially. But also, a lot of A-Listers also have huge stakes in the fight because it’s also about control of their image and their long term financial profit, too.
Meghan is a producer now with a new production company. If she wants top talent on her productions she needs to be ten toes down in solidarity, too.
Meghan was/is SAG. The Union protected her as a working actress, she can use the outrageous spotlight on her to stand in solidarity and to support working actors.
A lot of people don’t seem to know that a bunch of older stars end up in poverty. Fame is fleeting. The glamorous role often doesn’t pay as well as you think.
Tales of Angela Landsbury insisting ageing stars get roles on Murder She Wrote so they could retain their medical insurance.
Every worker needs unions. Bit-part workers need A-lister solidarity. Being an A-lister doesn’t last forever.
I’m sure all you Tumblr users have heard by now about the changes being made to Tumblr’s ecosystem so that the site can make more money. And I’m sure most of you are as uneasy as I am or, in fact, are angry about the proposed changes.
The reason they need to make more money is simple: Tumblr is $30 million USD in debt.
For this site to run and for them to pay employees, the site needs to generate revenue.
This place maybe a hellsite but it’s our hellsite. We are still here because we actually like it here. Besides, the other social media sites are crashing or will crash soon. Where else would we go?
Now, I did some research. There are at least 300 million users and over 500 million blogs. One of the cheapest things to buy on the Tumblr store is the crab package you can gift to another blog, which is $3 USD.
If each and everyone of us buys a crab package, we get to keep Tumblr alive and kicking. @oracleoutlook suggested that we make a holiday of it on July 29th. It seems to have resonated with people. Others have also asked for that to extend to August 5th, as some people don’t get paid til the beginning of the month.
Many people have already agreed to celebrate July 29th as Crab Day, a day of posting crab memes and gifting crabs to other users. And if you cannot afford to buy crabs, that is a-okay! Participate in the crab memes. Who would pass up the chance to make and reblog memes about crabs, after all?
This hellsite is ours. Let us remind them of that.
