You can get an ad-free internet with an ad blocker. What you can't get ever again is a surveillance-free internet.

[gaydollrobotthing]

Even adblockers aren't perfect. They're in a constant arms race with websites and it isn't uncommon for them to miss stuff. And that's not even touching on how websites will break themselves if you're using one. They're just a stopgap that shouldn't need to exist

"you can just build a castle wall to keep out the sieging enemy forces" ok but I don't want to be constantly sieged by the enemy forces.

If you're writing anything involving cons, scams, heists, or morally questionable characters who are very good at lying, here are some free resources I've been using for research. Saving you the "why is this in my search history" anxiety.

1. The FBI's Famous Cases & Criminals archive (fbi.gov/history/famous-cases) has detailed breakdowns of real fraud cases, Ponzi schemes, and confidence operations. The language they use is clinical and precise, which is perfect for getting the procedural details right.

2. The FTC Consumer Sentinel Network publishes annual reports on the most common fraud tactics in the US. Great for understanding how modern scams actually work and what makes people fall for them.

3. The Smithsonian's American Art Museum has a free digital collection of forgery case studies. If your character forges documents or art, this is gold.

4. Court Listener (courtlistener.com) is a free legal database where you can read actual court transcripts from fraud trials. Want to know how a real con artist talks under oath? This is where you find out.

5. The Internet Archive's collection of old newspaper crime sections. Search for "confidence man" or "swindle" in papers from the 1920s through 1960s and you'll find incredible real stories that would feel too dramatic for fiction.

Bonus: The Psychology of Fraud section on the Association for Psychological Science website has accessible articles about why people trust, how deception works cognitively, and what makes someone a convincing liar. Essential reading if you want your con artist characters to feel psychologically real.

Reblog to save for later. Your WIP will thank you.

[boycritter]

the annoying thing about weightlifting is that you have to lift weights that are a little too heavy for you if you want to get stronger. and you have to push yourself outside of your comfort zone in order to keep building muscle. fucked up.

[boycritter]

thank god this same principle doesnt apply to any other skill you want to improve at! that would really suck.

My new pet peeve is people completely misunderstanding the term Male Gaze and making the term female gaze based entirely on that misunderstanding

the white boy of the month pushing his hair back and reading poetry for the camera is not the equivalent of the dehumanization of women in visual media by way of presenting them primarily as vessels for sexual gratification

My one boring tip to anyone in their 20s is to resist the temptation to rot in your room every time you get a free moment. Dismiss any neuroses you have about going outside and "being perceived". Be a dictator about it, plan your hangouts like they are binding commitments. No excuses! Go to the bar with your friends. Be kinda hungover at work. Socializing is like exercise; even if you don't feel like you want to, you should still do it because it's good for you.

you dont have to be a parent to understand the horror of walking into a room to discover that the baby crawled out of his crib and onto that pottery wheel you forgot to turn off, and while the baby is spinning around and around, the dog is sitting there all calm, like a person, gently using his paws to fashion the babys soft cartilage head into something a little more modern.  it might be the classic tale of bad parenting, but lets see where the dog is going with this

This post is from 2013. It has less than 100 notes. Together we can revive this work of art that tragically ahead of its time. We’re ready for it now

wish we could talk about feminism or especially transfeminism without feeling crazy. because its not crazy. but whenever we talk about it we feel like we're putting on our tinfoil hats and ranting on the streets.

we can't even say "i hate men" without having to explain TO OTHER WOMEN that no, we don't hate every individual man on the planet, we hate the class man and the system men made for themselves that dominates the place we live in. in the same way that we have to tell other women that misandry is not a systemic force, and hating what men as a class of people and the patriarchy they made does not a misandrist make

and then WE feel bad because we made others uncomfortable by talking about injustice!

[kayla-denker]

Its absolutely insane how much backsliding the public consciousness has intentionally done over the last couple years alone in regards to feminism. Like, all of these things were basic feminist concepts that most people anywhere left of center understood and accepted as late as 2024. Y'all remember the "would you rather encounter a strange man in the woods or a bear" question? That whole thing happened just two fucking years ago!

every chapter of deltarune has a secret npc who only appears if you leave and re-enter the room 1225 times while you have a bagel in your seventh inventory slot and the npc is a sentient doorknob and when you talk to them the music cuts out and they’re like “who’s that whispering in the trees, it’s two sailors and they’re on leave, pipes and chains and swinging hands, who’s your daddy, yes i am” and then within four hours there’s a thirty minute long video on youtube titled “ASGORE IS FRIEND??? DADDY THEORY EXPLAINED” and it already has 100,000 views and then a year later people call the next chapter disappointing because it was focusing too much on developing the main characters instead of explaining the doorknob guy

the reveal

[writing-prompt-s]

Humans are 1000x more sensitive to the smell of petrichor (that smell you get with rain) than sharks are to blood, to no apparent evolutionary advantage. You’re privileged to be a part of the first welcoming committee to meet our new Non-Human arrivals in person. They smell like petrichor.

[vgckenny]

It comes to you piece by piece. You realize that once upon a time these being lived on Earth, and for one reason or another, they left. However, they didn’t want to abandon their own home completely. So they created rain and left their imprint on it through their smell.

You exclaim your hypothesis aloud. The committee is confused, but a member of this Non-Human team tells you that you are correct. They go on to say that they are very similar to humans, but have the ability to take on the attributes of water.

Thousands of years ago, the two cohabited the Earth. They collaborated on advancements in civilization, and both sides would help the other as well. However, some people soon turned on these being. They were scared. They were angry.

The people who cared about these beings protected them where they could, but that didn’t save everyone. Things were about to boil in an all out war between the humans, so these beings left before it could escalate to that; leaving behind only their smell.

They had noticed that this became a repeating pattern. Humans would turn on other humans for petty reasons. They had always wanted to come back, but were always too scared to. Yet now, they decide to return. They are through running away. They apologize for the delay, but you understand. The committee and the Non-Humans decide to team up to try and help each other once again, though the road is going to be bumpy.

Of course, when this mission is announced, some people are perturbed by these “invaders”, but that was to be expected. You look at their anger with trepidation, but then you look at one of these creatures. You feel safe with them. They feel safe with you. You knew this wouldn’t be easy; things like this never are. But you know that if you are successful, it will user in an era of peace and advancement between everyone.
