I'm a writer, artist and cosplayer, so check me out on YouTube, FanFiction.net, and DeviantArt. Everything's under the same username, except DeviantArt: KittyKatt357.
No you guys this post helped me find my cat. He was missing for almost a month and Iâve had him for over 12 years. After seeing this I put his favorite blanket he always slept on outside hoping he would smell mine or his scent and he was back the next fucking day asleep on it.
When my cat got out, we called and called for him, and then, later that night, I remembered similar advice to this, and so put his little scratching pad, which he adores, on the front porch. Not even half an hour later, I heard a thump, opened the door, and there was his big butt, meowing at me.
I was walking through the toy aisle at Target when I found this thing and had a VIOLENT AND IMMEDIATE FLASHBACK to when JP first came out and they had a bunch of REALLY COOL T Rex toys that I would have sold one of my scrawny small-child limbs for but my mother wouldnât get me one because they were âtoo violent and also ate peopleâ :(
on closer inspection, it makes a lot of really obnoxious noises and is also Too Expensive. BUT FEAR NOT I found this slightly smaller dude wedged in the back!
IT HAS BITE ACTION, AND THATâS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS
update update: I re-sized her collar and found a bag of toy bones at the craft store. I havenât put this much effort into a non-school thing since my last job search, help
Anyways, yâall better start saving your fave fanfics and fanart under the Disney labels cause it looks like theyâre trying to curb fair use/fanworks and Iâm sure thereâs going to be mass panicked deletions even though itâs probably unnecessary cause AO3â˛s legal team will fight for us.
You know that 400K yall were so fucking mad about OTW raising?
Yeah, its gonna pay for the travel expenses and court costs that the legal team at AO3/OTW when they protect your shit from getting C&Ded.
DO NOT DELETE YOUR STUFF! IF YOU GET CONTACTED BY DISNEY - GO TO THE ORGANIZATION OF TRANSFORMATIVE WORKS , CONTACT THEIR LEGAL ADVOCACY DEPARTMENT! ASK FOR HELP!!
THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE IS *WHY* *THEY* *EXIST*
Note that Disney would have one Hell of a time serving C&Ds to authors at AO3 - because there is no âcontact authorâ option other than leaving a comment.
Theyâd have to contact the SITE, which is to say, the Organization for Transformative Works, to deliver a C&D order or a DMCA takedown order.
And the OTW is not going to remove fics because someone sent a letter that says âactually those characters belong to me and you canât use them that way.â The OTW was created to FIGHT that kind of claim. They are ready.Â
Donât delete your fics out of fear. WE OWN THE SERVERS. They canât threaten the hosts into deleting anything.
And if Disney thought they had a strong legal case against fanfic, theyâdâve shut down the archive a decade ago, when it was penniless and unknown, instead of waiting until it had won several battles in Congress and got worldwide acclaim for a Hugo Award.
Reblogging it for that last point. We can do this because itâs free. Donât be an asshole and have the fact that you are charging people to write about another organizationâs intellectual property out in the open because you can ruin it for everybody.
This is also why AO3 has no ads and no app. They canât use the backdoor of pressuring advertisers or app stores to take away revenue in order to get them to comply.Â
My name is Sara and I'm a 19 year old trans woman in need of serious help.
I've been mentally and physically abused all my life by my parents and brother and that continues to this day. I'm trapped and afraid for my life. I can't take it anymore. I've been suicidal since I were a child and it's becoming too much to handle. I can't take this for who knows how many more years, I seriously can't. I feel so miserable living in these conditions and the dysphoria is intolerable. I can't do anything about it whatsoever because my parents are heavily against the lgbtq+ people. It makes me even more suicidal. I'm miserable and desperate.
My parents are keeping me dependent on them and not allowing me to work, making it impossible to escape. I did find an online job but my parents found out I was working in secret and made me quit. This has also made the home situation even worse :( I'm too scared to try to find anything else, especially non online because of the abuse that will follow. I can't do something like that in secret and I can't take the pain again.
For now I just need the money to guarantee my physical and mental safety: to move out to another city and be able to pay rent and food for a couple of months so I can find a job that pays enough to not end up homeless. I also need money for driving lessons and a cheap car so I'm not tied to one place and can go to work if it happens to be a non walkable distance away. Later I'd like to start therapy and transitioning but that's the lowest on my priority list right now, as survival's most important :(
I'm estimating it to come out like this:
- Rent and food for 2 months: ~$2800
- Driving lessons and a cheap car: ~$2100
- Transport to another city: ~$50
Total: ~$4950
I understand these are hard times and not everyone will be in the position to help me out and that's alright. I'm really sorry for having to ask like this :( I just don't know what to do anymore.
If anyone could donate even one kofi ($3) it will be immensely helpful for me to get out of here đđť If you can't please please consider reblogging so more people can see this. Thank you very much!
Unfortunately my parents have a hold of my paypal, so I set up a kofi with my friend's paypal so all donations go to her and then she will give them to me. I don't know how paypal donations work and don't wanna trouble my friend too much as even giving me her paypal email was a lot to ask for. Please consider donating on kofi â¤ď¸
You can be anonymous, don't need a profile and don't need a paypal đđť
Become a supporter of Sara Needs Help today! â¤ď¸ Ko-fi lets you support the creators you love with no fees on donations.
To feel safe is the right of every person. Unfortunately, I can't sacrifice anything myself at the moment, because I live in a poor family and a dollar is too expensive for us ($1 is 74â˝). However, I hope that some of you have the opportunity to help.
Sara asked me for help, so reblogging is the only thing I can do. :(
you can click on this button once daily to help palestine and support other causes in the middle east for free. it takes literally 5 seconds and could help save lives so please take the time to click and share this link.
Look, I know a good number of you are from the US and things aren't amazing there either, but my country is literally on the brink of collapse. So I'd love it if we could talk about that for a minute.
If you can't do anything else, please just read and reblog.
A second COVID wave has taken out the healthcare system. There are no more hospital beds. There's an oxygen shortage. There's a critical vaccine shortage. The Central Government has thrown its hands up and is passing the baton to the State Governments to do what they can.
There are over 16 million covid cases. A record 330,000 new cases reported yesterday - comparable to the US at its peak. 187,000 dead as of today.
There is no plan.
Mass cremations are taking place. The cremation grounds are running day and night and they are short on wood. People are watching their loved ones die while waiting for a hospital bed, and then they're unable to give them the proper burial rights.
Hospitals are overwhelmed. Patients are being confined, two to a bed. They're the lucky ones.
We are on the verge of people dying in the streets.
This is the second-most populous country in the world. The largest democracy. A country that encapsulates over 15,000 years of recorded human history and has endured everything from famine to invasion to colonisation.
We might be at the end. This might be the thing that does us in.
People are dying.
People are dying.
People are dying and there is no plan.
More good news? Variants are popping up. A double mutation strain has shown up. It is resistant to current vaccines. This will not go away. This is the devastation they warned of when the anti-maskers were out protesting the minor inconvenience of covering their face in public.
My country is on the verge of an emergency state. Our government has failed us. This is as dire a situation as it ever could be.
Look. I don't do much with my life. I write fics, some of you have read them and that's pretty much it. I spend my days with my head in the clouds because that's where I like to be.
But two days ago, my grandmother tested positive, had to be taken to hospital and the ambulance caught fire.
She barely made it to the urgent care she needs.
So, here I am, using whatever meager platform I have to cobble this request together. Because I have to do something.
Hello I am begging you guys please boost this if you can, this keeps happening an I am so tired of it
Where I live there is this man named Pervis Payne and he is suppose to be executed in 29 days please boost this. In Tennessee specifically shelby Tennessee he is suppose to be executed. During his trial and during his time of being on death row he has faced racism, and been told things like âyou think your black now just wait until we fry you.â
He has so much proof of being innocent but wonât be let off death row. Police has said that he was in a drug fueled frenzy with no evidence and REFUSE to do DNA testing or drug testing. He done nothing wrong but is being called a animal.
He has a proven intellectual disability where he shouldnât be on death row at all. I donât care at all what your account is about just please spread awareness knowing that stuff like this is happening where I live to innocent black people just like me is disgusting.
If you can please @ your mutuals. This man deserve freedom.
Here are things you can do
Petition to allow to do DNA testing
Call (615)-741-2001 and press 1 to leave a voice mail granting a stay of pervis payne execution
I sadly canât find anymore at the moment but if you do please share also some petitions are fake so please be careful.
Also realize that he is probably going to be executed in 28 days now since his execution is on April 9
idk who needs to hear this but there is literally nothing that would be âtoo smallâ or âtoo insignificantâ to stay alive for. You think birds are cute? Go for another day to see more of them jump around in the snow. You like hot chocolate? Wake up tomorrow to make yourself another cup. You are really into that one (objectively kinda crappy) series? Go until next Wednesday when the new episode airs. You do not always need a great purpose. If you have a small thing that can take you to the next morning? That thing is great. That thing is enough. Go get that thing.Â
I donât hate the concept of ebooks per se but what bothers me is how our society is shifting from actually owning entertainment in tangible forms like books and CDs and DVDs and game discs, to having to download everything so basically weâll get to the point where everything is intangible and all of our property can be taken away by a website crash.
#yeah this is mostly the problem#and stuff like. ebooks that can only be read on one companys app#music that can only be streamed from one place and doesnt let you actually download the files#stuff like that#like sometimes its like you cant tangibly have anything even your own digital file#idk where i was going with this but yeah its capitalism (via @ouidamforeman)
âAlmost exactly ten years ago, you may remember, Amazon came stealthily along and deleted e-copies of 1984 (no seriously, they did) and Animal Farm from peopleâs Kindles â copies theyâd already paid for and downloaded â because it turned out that there was a rights problem with the e-publisher. Jeff Bezos wound up apologizing all over himself and taking it all back and promising never to do that ever again, but the fact remains that Amazon has some kind of access to your Kindle files and can literally remove them, if they feel like it, which is downright creepy, and if it were your computer you would not like it one little bit.âÂ
Iâm sure that someone already said this in the notes, but you guys are aware that you donât actually own e-books, e-movies, etc. Right? What youâre purchasing is a license to have that file on your device. Not the actual object.Â
Iâve also posted about it multiple times.
Plus, Amazon, Google, Kobo, B&N are all explicit in their user agreements that they have the right to terminate your account, seize your library, and delete anything and everything off of your account at any time, for any reason, without giving you anything in return, including paying you back.Â
Like, it super scary that they not only can do that, but are legally allowed to.Â
Iâve seen people suggesting using the program called Calibre to transfer and convert your files from whatever program you purchase them on, so that if one of those companies do decide to be a dick, you will retain your e-copies safe and sound on your hard drive. Just donât be an asshole and post those copies to pirate sites.Â
So read your content agreements and digital ownership laws cause theyâre not great.Â
And that very fact, my friends, is why products like Epubor Ultimate DRM removal tool (my personal choice) are legal to write and sell and use.Â
https://www.epubor.com/drm-removal-tools.html
Because yes, the terms of service sure say that. But every time theyâve /tried/ on a significant scale, theyâve been challenged and backed down. And every time they tried to stop DRM removal tools from being made and sold, theyâve failed. What theyâre doing relies on keeping off enough toes that a significant bloc never gets pissed enough to push through a class action suit.
So, yes, absolutely, know this and, if you (like me) have book-gasms over having my library of 2000 books always at my fingertips to read whatever I like, get Calibre (https://calibre-ebook.com/) and then get one of the DRM removal applications. Jailbreak your library, back it up in at least three locations, and then pass this tip on in the joyful knowledge that all the major distributors are praying you donât tell anyone else how easy this is.
Computer nerds have been screaming at tye world about this for 20 years and none of you listened to us, and you called us crazy. Have fun with your streaming services!
Also everyone deserves food and noone deserves to die from hunger so if you have PayPal and could donate 40 cents a day (you donât have to do that every day you can do this whenever you want) download the app âshare the mealâ if we all do just a little bit we all together can have such an impactâđ˝
