we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason
torrents work like this
i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3
unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it
i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map
i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs
this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.
crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.
please learn to torrent

always use qbittorrent, do not use bittorrent or utorrent.

Oh my God, my wife has completely lost consciousness and is now in intensive care. Oh my God, what is happening? I feel like I'm going to lose my wife. Who will take care of my little child? I feel like I'm dying. 😭
The doctor said she needs a course of treatment costing 850 € to improve her health and restore her consciousness. Please help me, don't leave me alone.
I don't want to lose my wife; I've already lost my mother and older brother, and I can't bear to lose anyone else in my family.
I feel like I'm living in a terrible nightmare. Please help me.
My eyes won't stop crying. My little baby needs his mother's embrace.
Please stand with me to raise the money to buy her a course of treatment.
Please Save My Wife Now .. 😥
DONATE NOW PLEASE
• Chuffed - PayPal - Vetted#722
The treatment course must be provided as soon as possible before it's too late, otherwise my wife will die. I don't want to lose her; she means life and security to me. Please help me. 😭
These may be my last words or the last time I write a post about my wife and my family, so I will not forgive anyone who sees this post and does not support me with a single word and ignores me.
We tried to warn you about the "adult content" bans. Now Kickstarter is starting that shit
"It must have serious value!"
Staight up sounds like obscenity law/Miller Test-type crap.
"Fetishized imagery intended to arouse" well it's a good thing oppressed and vulnerable communities are never fetishized.
I know many of you have already liked and reblogged this post, but I'm going to attach a couple of links for resources on how to contact payment processors and whatnot. Hopefully they can get spread around a bit. It includes how to contact the payment processors, scripts, and various links to other (at the time ongoing, these websites haven't been updated in about 8 months and 1 year respectively) petitions and forms that might be useful to you.
TELL VISA, MASTERCARD, STRIPE, and PayPal to STOP
I'd also like to ask people to be willing to bring this conversation into spaces where things like "politics" aren't welcome and more forcefully draw attention to the ever growing issue of censorship. Some of you may only have those communities to draw on but we've long since run out of peaceful/polite/non-disruptive options.
an angel on letterboxd just dropped a whole playlist of films free on youtube I was filled with so much love and light I had to share with you guys
it also includes short films, animated movies, documentaries of every genre, full recordings of live performances. all spanning different decades from different countries. YOU DONT EVEN FUCKING KNOW
there are also websites like worldscinema, solidaritycinema, and rarefilmm hosting incredible obscure world cinema for free! and if you're more inclined towards the esoteric, there's also evilbjork's avant-garde canon playlist on youtube! also important to mention Maya S. Cade's incredible black film archive and the otherness archive, an obscure queer cinema archive! You could always be watching more films !
Why Tumblr Has Rolled Out ID Verification
UK legislation: Online Safety Act 2023
Brazil legislation: Digital Statute For Children And Adolescents
Apple App Store Age Verification
These are not tumblr specific policies. Tumblr is implementing age verification in response to legislative moves that were made months ago.
Tumblr is a failing social media site that has escaped death multiple times already; they do not have the social cachet to defy state regulatory agencies. We know they won't say no to Apple, either--the porn ban on tumblr was in response to Apple's crackdown on explicit content.
If you did not know this was happening, you were behind the curve. That is fine. You're caught up now. The next step is to link up with people in your country who are working to preserve privacy, to roll back these laws where they exist, and to prevent their passage where they do not. In the US the organization you want is Stop KOSA--in the EU you can start with Fight Chat Control.
Repealing ID verification and blocking chat control will help everyone, especially the most vulnerable. We can push this back, but we cannot get it done through the Feedback form. We have to get it done at the legislative level and lock it down so it cannot be forced upon us. I see lots of anger out there. Good. Put it to use.

I Got Reincarnated as a Minor Character and I Won’t Give Up on TS is the best webnovel ever written. incredibly transgender protagonist, not in the usual "whaaa I got turned into a girl?!" way but "what the fuck I didn't get turned into a girl????" way. and then she gets chuuni and wears gothic lolita clothing and wields a demon scythe that shoots lasers and is also a girl who she does yuri with and she acts all mysterious because she thinks its cool and has star theming. its awesome. she's awesome.
you will love her. also she's a rabid himejoshi did i mention that. she loves yuri. and she also believes in TS yuri.
whenever she faces a social interaction she can't handle she starts acting mysterious and saying stuff that sounds like it has implications so the other party comes up with something on their own and reveals what they think she's talking about. instead of just admitting she doesn't know something. because it would make her seem less mysterious and that's not cool
she asks her scythe to act like she's deeply obsessed with her in a messy codependent master/weapon yuri situationship whenever her scythe takes on human form because she is a massive himejoshi. there are times her friends are in danger of actually dying and chooses not to intervene until the very last possible second because yuri could happen between them when they're pushed to their limits and giving their all
there are MULTIPLE TIMES she monologues to nobody in particular because she's somewhere she thinks it would be cool to monologue alone, only to have someone walk in on her and take her completely seriously. and then from there she has to act like she knew they were there all along because she would be less mysterious if she didn't act like she knew that.
she occasionally references "the organization" that's backing her. it doesn't exist. she's not even bluffing to make herself sound stronger. she does it because she thinks mysterious organizations are cool and it'll make people think she's mysterious and working in the shadows
her name is narou kei
this is like naming your MC “Mary Sue” or “Fan Fiction”
there’s one time she defeats an opponent by driving them insane with illusions, all while sitting down and watching from a position of utter control. she does this because her scythe took on human form and bit and whispered in her ears to tease her and it made her so horny her legs gave out for multiple minutes and she couldn’t stand
her biggest fear is being outed as a man or “crossdresser.” there are multiple times she accepts a risk of death simply to not be outed.
she’s a plural dysphoria-riddled chuuni lesbian tgirl who wields a scythe and the power of the stars and she will do anything she can to protect beautiful girls
you WILL love her. you must.
also she has homoerotic relationships with numerous women and tries to keep the role of a cool and collected beauty who sometimes touches girls to accentuate her statements only to collapse and get caught off guard once one of them gets too forward and flirty because she doesn't know how to handle such direct affection and yet can't bring herself to run because she doesn't want to disappoint another beautiful girl.
The explosives dropped on the people of the Gaza Strip are equivalent to 20 nuclear bombs like those dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Does anyone still doubt that Israel committed and continues to commit genocide and ethnic cleansing against us here in the Gaza Strip?
Israel has besieged Gaza for over 19 years, and food and medicine are scarce. However, after the October 7th war, Israel prevented everything from entering Gaza, and Gaza became completely besieged. Gaza is a giant prison controlled by the worst jailers in the world: the Nazi Zionists who kill, displace, and starve us without mercy.
We have been through so much and are still alive thanks to your help and donations. Without them, we would have died long ago. With them, we can buy food and medicine for my father, who has cancer and needs treatment quickly before he dies from this disease, the siege, hunger, anemia, and the stents in his heart arteries. We need to get them removed. Until then, we can only buy his medicine. Please donate now.
GoFundMe deleted my previous campaign, and this isn't the first time they've done this. Please donate now. I swear, you are our last hope to get out of here and stay alive. Please donate.
The donations to the deleted campaign will be refunded, so PLEASE donate to Nader's new campaign again!!!
GoFundMe is unfair to Palestinians regularly, but this is Nader's only hope to raise money. Please share and give what you xan
Anybody match my donation? Donate if you can, Nader has to start all over again
Please donate, friends. You are our hope. Please don't ignore us. Donate now. Your donations are what keep us alive. Please donate now.
Over 700 posts and only 6 people have donated. Please don't hesitate to support us. Please donate to us now. We desperately need help. Please, please donate.
Please help my friend recover from his campaign being taken down! He really needs the help
Hey everyone, please keep participating and don't hesitate to donate! Our campaign has been verified by gazavetters #4. Please participate and donate! We're almost at €1000, only €750 left. Please donate now!
We need 700 euros. Please keep sharing this post.
Says hello
Haiiiiii 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
Talking to friends with inept parents is crazy. No wonder they’re like this if their parents kept fumbling
“I’m having trouble adapting to my adult responsibilities” well no wonder, nobody raised you 😭😭😭
Hot tip for future parents: you actually have to guide your kid to adulthood. Feeding them and waiting for them to grow up is not enough since they are not house plants. A little more thought and care is required.
for those lacking certain "adulting" skills, especially things around the house, check out:
mom, how do i...?
and dad, how do i...?
^ there are tons of other resources but these two will teach you some personal hygiene, home or apartment repairs, easy recipes and basic cleaning techniques, even how to schedule doctor's appointments
if youre a renter i cannot recommend the trans handyma'am enough, mercury is a lifesaver, and her channel and accounts are always accepting new questions
there are so many resources, a lot that you dont have to even ask for, just know how to look 🩷 much love
Looking at what national news outlets are up to right now, one might not realize a whole major US metropolitan area is, you know, sort of under attack by paramilitary forces. Wild.
im sorry the What is being What now???
While it's not going unreported entirely, what's been happening in Minnesota and in Minneapolis–Saint Paul in particular since Renee Good was murdered is not getting the attention it should be.
There are already 2000 gangsters from DHS deployed, and "hundreds" or "1000" more are on the way, depending on which Trumpland person you ask. As a point of reference, the Twin Cities' actual police total just under 1200 (600 in Minneapolis and 590 in Saint Paul according to the depts' sites).
The feds there are more or less attacking people at random. They've gone door-to-door for "citizenship checks" (completely illegal). They've knocked doors down when residents haven't complied (obviously also completely illegal). In addition to abducting and brutalizing the immigrants they come across during their rampages, they've done the same to US citizens of color and are also harassing, stalking and physically attacking observers.
Here are some local sources:
ICE intensifies Twin Cities operation after killing of Renee Good, protests (MPR News—link won't embed)

News2Share has more on YouTube:
I also recommend checking out this guy's work:
"Friends outside of Minnesota please read. I'm sharing a post written by a personal friend and medical doctor: Friends outside MN, you need to know what is happening here. Everyone knows that ICE shot and killed a woman here on Wednesday. But that’s not the only thing that’s going on:
ICE agents are cruising areas with immigrant-owned businesses, and kidnapping patrons and employees alike. Yesterday they abducted two US citizen employees at a suburban Target, one who was begging them to allow him to go get his passport to show them.
ICE is going door to door in immigrant-heavy neighborhoods, asking residents where their immigrant neighbors live. Read that again. If it sounds like something out of your high school history textbook, that’s because it is.
ICE is targeting schools and school buses. They pepper sprayed teenagers and abducted two school staff members at the high school up the street from me on Wednesday. Police are literally escorting school buses to ensure children can get to school and home safely. The Minneapolis Public Schools have moved to virtual learning for the next 4 weeks because it’s unsafe for children or teachers to physically come to school.
They are targeting hospitals and clinics. Patients are scared and are cancelling their appointments or just not showing up. Kids are missing their checkups and vaccines, folks aren’t getting their cancer care, etc.
They are smashing windows in cars and homes.
ICE is increasingly picking up Native Americans—again, targeting folks based on skin color alone.
They are arresting and beating legal observers. A friend of a friend had her arm broken yesterday. Folks are showing up at local hospitals, brought in in ICE custody, with severe injuries that are absolutely inconsistent with mechanism of injury reported by ICE. (Think: patient appears to have been beaten unconscious, while ICE agent says he slipped and fell.) I can’t emphasize enough that these ICE agents do not have warrants. There are 2,000+ agents here and they are simply hunting for anyone that’s not white. It doesn’t matter if you’re a citizen or a green card holder, they will kidnap you first and ask questions later. But the community is fighting back.
Protests are happening every day.
Community groups have been leading know-your-rights sessions for months, often to packed venues.
Whistles are being distributed by the thousands, carried on keychains and worn on coat zippers, always at the ready to be blown in warning if ICE is spotted.
Drivers are following ICE vehicles, blaring their horns in warning.
Businesses are locking their doors even while open to keep employees and customers safe. As I type this, I’m standing guard at the locked door of our neighborhood burrito joint while I wait for my takeout order, so the employees can focus on their jobs. The place is packed with neighbors supporting this small business.
Anti-ICE signs are posted everywhere. The community is making it crystal clear that ICE is not welcome here.
Parents and neighbors are standing guard outside schools, organizing carpools, and escorting kids to and from school on foot.
Parents of kids in Spanish-immersion daycare (there are a LOT of these daycares here!) are keeping their kids home so the teachers don’t have to take the risk of coming to work.
Churches and community groups are holding fundraisers to buy and deliver groceries to families who don’t feel safe leaving home.
Mutual aid money is going out to folks who can’t make rent because they can’t work or because a breadwinner was abducted, or who need a warm place to stay after their home’s windows were smashed. THAT is what is happening here. This fight is ongoing and it’s horrifying to watch. But we are not backing down. To my friends in other cities and states, don’t think for a minute that this won’t happen in your town. It will. Be ready. Learn from us, as we have learned from Portland and Chicago and New York. Fight back. Don’t let us get to the last line of Martin Niemoller’s poem.” -Grant Boulanger
Here's an AP news brief with a little more info. It's limited in the way major news outlets are right now but provides context that supports the personal account shared.
If you're looking for a good, centralized collection of fundraisers for people and organizations doing on-the-ground work in Minnesota right now, someone on Bluesky put together a great resource hub for things like food support, rent relief, mutual aid, and immigrants' rights centers that I'd really love to see spread around.
And if you're local to the Twin Cities, there's a "Take Action" section with links to ways to get active, as well as some resource guides for legal observers, etc.
Those of us here in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the metro area appreciate every bit of support we can get right now, especially with the federal government cutting off things like SNAP benefits for Minnesotans and threatening further retaliation. Keep us in your thoughts, and maybe pick a cause to support, if you can.
