Dolls to Watch Out For by Tess Scilipoti

Everything was going great and it was a lovely Saturday. I went for a super long walk and listened to a great audiobook (the change by Kirsten Miller), listened while having a sugary coffee at a local coffee shop, and picked up fresh ingredients to make the best burrito ever (BBE). Well, while I was prepping everything for the BBE (still listening to my audiobook), I felt the unmistakable feeling of a leaking tampon. Certainly not enough of an issue to ruin an otherwise lovely Saturday, right? However. How! fucking! ever!!!! I had just been chopping jalapeños for the BBE and though I tried my best, I didn't scrub my hands clean enough to remove all the pepper oils that are now burning the bejesus out of my vagina. I'm debating whether I should pour some milk on it. Though I don't have any milk.... I've got some sweetened condensed milk 😆 but that sound like an instant yeast infection! I really never thought I'd make this mistake again but here we are. My vagina is on fire but god damn, this burrito is truly a fucking masterpiece!!

Was looking up posts about this book and came across this absolutely peak tumblr post. I hope you all enjoy too. And the perfect burrito is worth it.

Can't Have Nice Things

The Ketamine King Musk has shutdown the IRS's Free Tax Filing system.

Of all the things a government could off, a way to Freely calculate and file your taxes seems like a good one. But the richest man in the world thinks we shouldn't have that.

The online tax filing option on the IRS website had a strong bipartisan 76% approval rating from registered voters.

President Trump’s “special government employee,” Elon Musk, announced on Monday that he had dissolved the Internal Revenue Service’s free file program—suggesting that he effectively fired the staff who worked on the popular program.

The billionaire revealed that he “deleted” the group of individuals who oversaw the system that allows Americans to easily file their taxes for free on the IRS website. The IRS-run free and simplified tax filing option had 76% approval from registered voters based on a 2023 poll by Navigator. [...]

If you have the time to burn, and a bit of financial cushion -

File your taxes by hand. Fill out the forms with a pen. Overpay by about $50. (You will eventually get that back. It is likely to take several months.)

It will take longer to get any refund you're due. But I promise you the entire federal bureaucracy has been cutting as many corners as they can for as many years as they can, and the current set is going to cut even more corners, and...

they don't have the staff on hand to process a huge number of paper claims anymore. They expect everything that came in digitally last year, to continue to be filed digitally. And they expect more digital filings every year. They've planned for that. They've staffed for that.

One of the only acts of protest we have available is "comply, but slowly."

File on paper if you can.

If you have the software to file digitally because doing the math & forms is such a nightmare for you?

If you're up for it: Print the final form, and then fill out a new blank form by hand. With your lousy handwriting. Send it in the post, by mail.

Does that stop them? No, but every bit of sand we can throw in the gears slows them down and pulls resources away from the other horrific rights violations they're trying to codify into law.

You likely still do not have to pay an accountant even if the IRS's Direct File service goes down because Free File will still work.

While Direct File is an IRS-hosted program, there is also Free File, which is government-subsidized and hosted by third parties:

You need to use THESE SPECIFIC LINKS in order to access the Free File programs, fyi - they are hosted by tax preparers who also often order paid services which may have deceptive names like "TurboTax Free" that make them sound like they don't cost anything, so be sure to only use the IRS links. Don't just Google them, you will not find what you're looking for.

Here's an archive link in case they take down the Free File page. (You may have to manually cut out the web.archive.org part of the URL to use the links.)

It is not possible for Elon Musk to access these programs directly because they are not hosted on government servers. You are eligible for Free File for your federal taxes if you make less than $84k, as well as for your state taxes if you make less than $48k, as well as some other situations such as if you are active-duty military or if you live in certain states (for your state return).

If you want to throw sand into the works and file these as paper forms instead of e-filing, you absolutely can do that by printing them out after completing the program, but PLEASE do not pay a tax preparer if you are eligible for Free File!!! It's a ripoff!!!!!!!!

Direct File is a great program that saves the government money (they do not have to pay third parties if they keep the program in-house) and helps protect taxpayer data security, but you DO NOT need to pay an accountant or risk filling out your return incorrectly just because it goes down.

Reblogging to consider later.

I hung out at a cabin in the woods for the full moon and I found a cool store called Needful Things full of obviously haunted objects & a gem called The Thirsty Prospector that was a beer/ice cream bar that sold used books and antiques. And yes, you could carry your beer around while you shopped.

I've literally said for years but the idea of mind control being real is more valuable as propaganda than actual mind control

apas-95

“Brainwashing” as a concept was invented by Edward Hunter, a CIA-funded writer, to explain away why US troops captured by communist forces during the Korean War were so amenable to their Evil Totalitarian Captors. It definitely wasn’t that they were treated well (far better than the US treated its captives); with POWs allowed to cook their own food, organise sports competitions, and one black soldier even allowed to travel to Beijing to attend university - a privilege he wouldn’t have had back home - nor could it have been that any of these people saw any truth in communist theory. No, the real explanation must be that the communists had developed some nefarious means of controlling peoples’ minds, the same technology which they must have used on their own people to make them all support communism so wholeheartedly!

My great grandfather was a Russian POW during WWII. He was sent to the gulag.

He was one of the "lucky" ones.

He got back.

The amount of FUCKERY his subsequent behaviour caused my grandmother, and therefore my father and yes, therefore ME cannot be overstated. Like. Encanto gives a teeeny tiny idea of what generational trauma is.

The reality is fucking worse.

He was tortured. He was broken. He behaved so atrociously that my great grandmother, a woman in a country with no divorce, had to leave him with 4 children, 3 of whom young to very young.

I won't go into the details. But the trauma of that lived in his daughter behaviour toward her son, and in his grandson my father.

DON'T. Come to me. And. Praise the URSS treatment of POW.

Fucking don't.
