April Fools

Okay, guys, as April first is tomorrow, I’m reiterating my pledge not to post any pranks. Nothing originating from this blog will be a prank or deliberately incorrect. If I reblog other people’s pranks, which I may, they will be clearly marked and tagged “april fool’s day” and “prank” so you can block them from your dash.

Stay safe out there, my lovelies! I got your back.

People are talking about April Fools’ Day already, so here is my pledge:

This blog will not create any April Fools’ Day pranks. I may reblog some, but they will be clearly marked with an April Fools’ Day tag so that they can be blocked or avoided. Nothing that originates on this blog will be a prank.

#April Fools #legitimate Rick Astley #(it genuinely is Never Gonna Give You Up) #(all the way through) #(I checked) #oh why not #I already had this stuck in my head for the occasion #(though I haven’t (yet) encountered any RickRolls this year) #(not even ones that made me suspicious beforehand)

Okay, folks. It’s Lying Liars Who Lie Day.

Beware of new features on websites (cough-TumblrPro-cough)* and things with links that can neither confirm nor deny they go to Youtube (or in some cases that confirm they go to Youtube). If possible, avoid contact with parts of the offline world containing known or potential pranksters. If your life circumstances forbid this, my sympathies.

Good luck, everyone. Stay safe. It’s dangerous out there today.

*I watched that whole video (having been told in advance it was a video, but not what was in it) bracing for a RickRoll. Never happened. Must admit, I was too scared to click the upgrade button. Let’s see…oh dear.

Safe April Fools!

People are posting “You won’t see screamers on this blog” things for April Fools.

I will also not post obnoxious things for April Fools!

I don’t think it’s nice.

Also I won’t have electricity.

I’m getting my power turned off for April Fools.

(It’s not a joke).

(It’s a part of remodeling).

Officially joining the Safe April Fools movement, here.

(Also be told, errbody: if you post a screamer or assholeish April Fool’s joke, I will automatically unfollow you, no exceptions.)

*nod* This blog is a prank-free zone.
