okay more serious version of my other post about this but the fact that arachnophobia modes that censor spiders are the video game accessibility settings things that have become widespread instead of other accessibility settings perplexes me so much. like if you can remove spiders from your game but not things like flashing lights or effects that cause motion sickness i think you might need to reconsider your priorities

Hey someone suggested I use ChatGPT to figure out adulting today, and as I was going through the mental list of places I'd rather look, I realized "beloved strangers on Tumblr dot net" was on that list.

So if you have an aspect of adulting that you're really good at-taxes, budgeting, cooking, insurance, credit, time management, house upkeep, anything-please feel free to reblog with any tips.

No April Fools joke has yet to displace the absolute earth-shattering high I felt in elementary school when I logged into Neopets to see that they’d added 50 new Neopets breeds to the website, each obviously designed at the last second and with increasingly fantastically terrible names

And then scrolling down the list, nothing in the world could’ve prepared me for the punchline of

Okay, I will preface this with the GIGANTIC disclaimer that I promise I know how this looks, and I *swear* this is not personally motivated:

Hey everyone, it looks like there's some hinky stuff going on with LiveJournal in a way where it might be shutting down relatively soon -- and if not, who knows what will happen to it?

Obviously most of us aren't active users there right now, but a lot of us were active users there at some point, so... if you want to save your blog, this thread includes a few ways on how to do it, as well as a lot more detail on exactly what's going on.

(We also suggest screengrabbing or saving the page of any fics that you care about that are based there, as well as anything else you might have bookmarked.)

Just in general, as a reminder, despite what the old adage is: the internet is not forever. So back up anything you care about!

Note: edited to add screengrabs below the cut in case anyone doesn't want to click on the link.

DO NOT COME TO THE US FOR TOURISM!!!!!!

U.S. to mandate checks of some tourists' social media history from past 5 years

Tourists from countries including Britain, Japan, France, and Australia will now be expected to provide their social media history to visit

Tourists to US would have to reveal five years of social media activity under new Trump plan

Plan would apply to countries not currently required to get visas to the US, including Britain and France

The Library Is a Magical Place and You Should Fucking Go There

[cyko-tik-tabaxi]

Every library I've ever been to also has free wifi that won't track you like the corporate wifi spots at restaurants do

[teaboot]

My local library has an online movie and audiobook catalogue that you can access from home with your membership! And it’s free!!!

hate it when the people who I love are suffering due to circumstances beyond my control 👎 there should be a sea monster that I can slay to fix the problem

If you want to support a union strike, you don't have to guess what to do. The union will almost always put out a document of what they're asking for in solidarity.
