Hi everyone, long time no see-

So, anyway, a lot of garbage has been happening in my life so I’m just here to tell you I am still writing stuff. If anyone in my tiny audience is wondering where my fics went on ao3, they were privated because of the ai scalping that happened a while back and I don’t believe I’ll be unprivating them anytime soon. So, if you wanted to read them and don’t have an account on ao3, sorry about that.

I am considering reposting them both on here, but with my J&D fic it will be significantly harder because of how many chapters there are and how long it’s been since I’ve written for it and my writing has improved greatly since then. For my new Yugioh Fic however, I think I’ll definitely be trying to blog about it on here to give it more traction because I’m super proud of it despite my complete lack of self confidence.

I’ll still be posting links to them if you want to access them on ao3 if any of you have an account.

There's a way to remove it~

Go into the power shell

then paste in:

reg add HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot /v "TurnOffWindowsCopilot" /t REG_DWORD /f /d 1

like this

Then restart. Also here is how to turn off the awful search suggestions:

Because this has mostly been talked about with Windows 11, heads-up that this installed itself on every Windows 10 computer in our house with this week's update.

Our dreams have been destroyed, and we have nothing left...😞

🫂You're our last hope in this life🫂

I'm Lama from Gaza, I'm 24 years old, and my husband is Mohammad... We got married in 2022 in a house full of love and happiness. Our house was beautiful, we chose everything in it carefully... We were waiting for the end of the day to go there after a tiring day of work, but the occupation did not leave us. 😔😭💔

This house was bombed with all hatred. Here we are after the genocide. We have nothing... We lost our house, our work, and our car.😭😞

We were displaced to Rafah in a tent that could not accommodate 5 people, and after the displacement from Rafah, we were displaced to Mawasi Khan Yunis again. It was a very difficult period... but now we are in Mawasi Khan Yunis in a tent that does not protect us from the cold of winter or the heat of summer.😞😭

This is our tent, its floor is made of cardboard, as you can see, and I suffer from severe eczema due to the pollution of the air and the materials used, and the medicine is very expensive.😭💔

Urgent: My husband needs a very necessary operation and medication. Please help my husband in order for his health to improve. He is in pain.😞😭🫂🙏🙏

Help us and donate to us. You are our last hope and the lifeline of this life. 🫂🙏

We need you...Donate to us and save what is left of us.😞🙏🙏

Friendly reminder as we head into tax season (for US Americans), that the major tax preparation companies are fully prepared to lie and mislead you into paying for their tax preparation software when you might qualify for free software through the IRS.

Don’t fall for their bullshit. Visit IRS Free File and see what services are available to you. The requirements vary depending on your household status and income, but if you make less than $79,000/year (which is nearly everyone I know), you probably qualify for something.

Hello 😇👋,

Our family is facing incredibly difficult times due to the ongoing war in Gaza 💔. Our dreams and future have been shattered, leaving us feeling lost and without purpose. Anas and Ahmad have launched a GoFundMe campaign to help them escape Gaza, continue their education, and support our family.

Making a small donation or sharing the campaign would mean the world to us.

I don't know how to get through to people how dire this situation is. If donations continue at this rate, she will be dead by the time it reaches $2000.

Maha is so wracked with infection that she is going into septic shock! Her blood pressure is plummeting because the infection is destroying her organs!! HER BODY IS TEARING ITSELF APART!!!

Sepsis is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!

It often occurs when someone has a miscarriage and uterine tissue is not removed. The fact that Maha has survived this long is nothing short of miraculous already!!

SHE DOES NOT HAVE MUCH TIME LEFT!!

We still need to raise €611 EUR!!! Undergoing surgery to remove the infecting tissue and pus is the ONLY WAY TO SAVE MAHA’S LIFE!!

PLEASE help Maha get life-saving surgery!!!!!

Do not really know what to say. A year ago we were making posts about how Gaza was being bombed through Christmas- how the oldest Christian community was being bombed- how the birth place of Jesus was being destroyed and his people murdered. A year later, it is going to be Christmas again soon, and the bombings have not stopped. But the news, and the attention seems to have died down considerably. It feels terrible and scary.

[siraj2024]

While in past years we celebrated New Year's in the streets and hotels of Gaza, today there are no signs of this left. The Zionists have destroyed everything. Stones and trees have fallen, but strength will not fall from our souls, God willing.

We hope that the celebrations this year will bear the slogan of a ceasefire in Gaza, a cease to genocide, and a halt to the killing of children. Yesterday I said goodbye to my cousin, and before that to my friends.

The years have become painful memories for us. We now want with all our might to stop this genocide.

[raangmanch]

Please donate to Siraj. In this festival of giving, consider donating even a little. There are ten children in the family all of whom should have had the chance to celebrate like the rest of the world. However, as it is now, there is very little left to celebrate in Gaza. But the funds donated will help as it will go into providing the kids and the rest of the family with the bare necessities.

I know I've said this a hundred times but if you're worried about palestinian fundraisers being scams at least consider donating to MSF. It's a highly reputable organization which has broken its long-standing neutrality to denounce Israel in front of the UN. Here's all the aid MSF is providing to Gazans (documentation available in multiple languages).

[televisionenjoyer]

Since I know no one's gonna click on that link, here's a quick overview of some of the various ways in which Medicins Sans-Frontiers (Doctors Without Borders) is aiding Palestinians

- Since Oct 7 2023, MSF provided for 14000 hospital admissions and 7500 surgeries, on top of treating 27500 people for physical violence causes, treating 34000 people for diarrhoea (very common condition in Gaza currently due to the sanitary crisis) and holding 18000 mental health sessions.

-MSF is currently operating in two hospitals, eight healthcare facilities and fifteen mobile clinics, providing surgical support, wound care, physiotherapy, maternity and paediatric care, basic healthcare, vaccinations, and mental health services among other things (more info on the treatments provided by each facility on the link above). Additionally, they provide training for psychological, medical and paramedical volunteers, and donate first aid kits to various camps (info on the specific locations on the link above).

- Via their partnership with the Palestinian Agriculture and Development Association, they're building latrines for over 30000 people in six camps, distributing hygiene kits to 2400 families, and ensuring clean drinking water for 25000 people, on top of equipping a camp for 70 families with accessible sanitary facilities for disabled people.

- Since October 7, 2023, eight of their medics have died. Seven of them are remembered here, and their latest, Hasan Suboh, in this statement that denounces Israel's allies for disregarding the fact that the protection of humanitarian workers is not being guaranteed as they claim.

MSF does not only stand for Palestine in humanitarian terms, it also does so politically to an extent, holding Israel and its allies accountable for sabotaging ceasefire negotiation attempts.

MSF also provides aid to Sudan, the Democratic Republic Of Congo, Haiti, Ethiopia and 76 other countries.

[shesgayfolks]

To better maximize your donation to MSF, I advise keeping an eye out for donation doubling and tripling periods, which occur fairly often and can be checked on their website.

[starcut-sand]

genuinely though imagine living in Deluxe. you're just going about your day as usual and then your leader shows up on big screens projected into the sky telling you that he's about to kill his ex-favorite seventeen year old son figure and you all have to come watch. so then you have to drop what you're doing to watch this seventeen year old get executed live. which would be bad but also he escapes doing some sick moves like he always does. so like you paused your whole day for nothiiiinnnnng. and then you gotta put up with your leader giving some stupid face-saving speech about how we'll get 'em next time. as you eat your cubes for dinner.

[astrathechinchilla]

Honestly it wouldn’t always be for nothing I’d get to see this seventeen year old sometimes drive off of GODDAMN FLYING SKYSCRAPERS IN A RACE CAR AND NOT DIE LIKE WOAH!

[abdalsalam1990]

Have you ever felt the pain of loss? Have you lost someone close to you, someone dear to your heart? Have you lost a family member? I hope you haven’t, but for my family and me, it’s our daily reality. Every single day, without exaggeration, we lose someone we love.

Last week, I lost my uncle, my mother’s brother. He was walking down the street, just like anyone else, when he was struck by a missile from a drone. And today, we lost more loved ones—my uncle and his son. They were sitting together in a home that had already been destroyed by the Zionist war machine. Not only was the house obliterated, but its residents were killed as well.

I don’t think this genocide will stop here. Even at this moment, more people continue to die. The number of martyrs has exceeded 50,000, not including those still trapped beneath the rubble. We might be the next names added to the list of the dead.

Please, I beg you, save what’s left of us. Don’t just scroll past this post. Share it, and if you can, donate. Every donation you make can save an entire family from death.

Hey, the ACLU is getting people to send letters to your Reps to have Congress pass the No Kings Act.

This act would make constitutional amendments to ensure that even sitting presidents are held liable for their actions. That NOBODY is above the law.

Their goal is 150k messages sent and at the time of writing this they're about 2.1k off from that goal!

ACLU gives you a prefilled message that you can edit to send to make the process easier, and will send it out for you.
