Mutuals are a lot like cats in that you kinda have to harmlessly pester and annoy them sometimes

dead tired today so I grabbed a coffee from the gas station & the guy greeted me by trying to say “is that everything “ but fumbled and said “e ga thebythin” and me trying to say “yeah” or “yup” just went “YIP!” in response. No survivors

Better solutions than age verification BS

Teaching children/teens basic internet safety rules such as not giving out personal information (name, age, etc.) and internet stranger danger

Informing parents/guardians about the existence of the YouTube Kids app before they hand the unfiltered iPad to a kid to watch

Informing about YouTube Teen Accounts

More online teen spaces such as MMOs, pet sites, and RP forums with site rules to keep things appropriate

Emphasis of report and block buttons if something said in said spaces makes someone uncomfortable and/or breaks site rules

Game support forums not being locked to Discord servers and easily accessible to the entire userbase

Parental blocks that restrict downloading dedicated "adult community" apps

In mixed age online spaces, adults being less hesitant about using built in content filters such as tags and mature content labels

Parents/guardians understanding age ratings on items such as movies and video games, especially R and M

Parents, guardians, and trusted adults (ex. teachers, librarians) being available to listen and discuss when a topic is confusing (and not immediately get mad and complain about the material)

Better access to youth library materials (ex. young adult)

More/better offline teen spaces and access to hobbies without too much unnecessary expense

My account is still blocked from searching/tags/etc on my business blog @foundfamilyadventurecrafts so I'm posting this here. There's something very bad happening with Small Business, Tech, and Amazon. What else is new?

Hey, that's us and a bunch of our friends! This whole thing SUCKS so bad and we're pissed. We've intentionally not listed our products on Amazon for the 15 years we've been in business. We're ready to join a class action lawsuit and kick some ass.

Friday makes really good tea, both just by the flavors and as reflections of fandoms. I absolutely LOVE my Second Breakfast (hobbits) and General's Jasmine (Uncle Iroh).

Go check out the Friday Afternoon Tea website DIRECTLY if you want to support them - and if you, unlike me, are in Seattle, go visit the brick-and-mortar store!

And boycott Amazon.

assume it doesn’t know you (unless it’s actually a specific animal you’ve met) and that it’s normal for its species and would do whatever was natural for it. including being too giant for and destroying the room it’s in. as well as dying immediately if its environment can’t support its life

[and-fishing-equipment]

in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

is it SINCERE

was it CATHARTIC

was it FUN TO MAKE

is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly

Do you remember the first RANDOM* shiny Pokemon you've found?

Yes (tell me :V)

I think so? Maybe? (tell me anyway :V)

No :(

I've never found a random shiny

I don't play pokemon

Voting ended onNov 17, 2025

*by random i mean non-scripted, not hunting for it actively, you're just wandering around in any game and you just found it somewhere

(tell me the game too, not just the pokemon :V)

[fixyourwritinghabits]

Hey everyone are you ready for yet another round of AI BULLSHIT well I've got a doozy for you: YouTube has decided to automatically "upscale low-quality videos" with AI, fundamentally altering your viewing experience as a consumer and hobbling your freedom as a creator.

How to opt out as a creator:

Go to YouTube Studio, click on Settings, then click on Channel

Click on Advanced Settings

Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance visual quality"

Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance audio quality"

How to opt out as a viewer:

Click on Settings

Go to Quality

Make sure the AI-enhanced option (dubbed 'Super Resolution') has been switched to "original resolution"

Why this matters:

Aside from adding an incredible amount of energy burn to content without the creator's knowledge, a lot of content was made to be viewed at their original resolution for a reason. No one wants to watch Marble Hornets on 'Super Resolution'. A number of creators have noticed this already happening to YouTube Shorts, where AI-upscaling has led to inaccuracies in technical demonstrations and odd visual distortions.

By hobbling a creator's ability to control what their final product looks like, creators cannot rely on the platform to present their work as intended. It should be an outrage, frankly, to anyone who relies on YouTube to share their work or enjoy the works of others.
