So previously I was switching Gypsy's name to Tarot in the old 80s comics, but I think in the future I'll upload both the original and edited versions . . . not because I support using the word, which is a slur AFAIK, but because I think preserving history is important, even the parts that weren't so great.
Also there are parts of the comics that are racially insensitive no matter how you slice it, like I die a little inside every time I look at Mandarin Orange who is a, uh, not-great representation of a Chinese man. (Or doll? I think he runs the Land of the Dolls? Anyway, they used a very yellow skintone for him and slits for eyes . . . yeeeah.) Also there are comics with Wigwam, the pony with teepees (which were not used by the tribes who used wigwams) on his ass so it is what it is, you know what I mean? This stuff is from the 1980s and it's going to reflect the societal norms of that time.
Anyway, I wanted to let people know that in case they want to update Tumblr Savior to avoid posts with Gypsy in them. Tumblr Savior is free to download and you can blacklists tags in it so the posts don't show up on your dash.

No room for you Wigwam Village 6 was built in 1950 by Chester E Lewis featuring 25 concrete and steel “wigwams” within the complex. After closing in 1974 when Interstate 40 bypassed Route 66 the place was reopened by the Lewis family in the late 80s.

Ok, I lied a little bit on my last post…
I’ve apparently reach the pinnacle of my life when new socks give me joy.
Next up is to rearrange my sock drawer.
PS - the new mirroless Nikkor Z 40mm f/2 lens is nice as well, but that’s for another post.
