hey it's me black mold. thanks for running your window air conditioner all summer. whatever you do, do not regularly clean the removable filter. that's not necessary
you should also never ever unplug the air conditioner and stick a flashlight in the vent that blows air to see if we're in there. it's very bad, that place should not be checked
and whatever you do, if you've already made the mistake of unplugging it, don't remove it from the window for cleaning if possible. and whether it's possible to remove the unit or not, don't carefully disassemble the front panel, document where the screws go and plastic bits go, and open up the vent more to be able to get into it easily
as black mold, i'm an expert on this. you should heed my warnings: now, if you've somehow made the mistake of doing all of the above, you should not use warm water and dish soap to CLEAN the inside of the vent thoroughly. DON'T ever use a bottle brush to get into the hard to reach places. and certainly don't rinse and dry the cleaned area before carefully putting it back together
there's nothing wrong with us, black mold. we don't cause or exacerbate breathing conditions like asthma or other illnesses. it's cool, we're cool
furthermore, if you're capable of removing the window unit, DONT take a hose with the same soapy water and wash the portion of the window unit that sits outside the window and is therefore weatherproofed.
whatever you do, don't allow the air conditioner to dry before plugging it back in and turning it on again
and if you have a central air conditioner, you will definitely never ever consult a manual or sources online to perform a similar cleaning procedure on the cooling unit outside.
lastly, if you're physically unable to do the things we (the black mold) warned you not to do above, you should never ever ask someone to help you or hire a service to do it.
Also even if you do not have the time, space or ability to do some of the the things in the OP, definitely do not clean the coils (the awful sharp flat stacks of metal) with foaming coil cleaner. That removes the beneficial black mold (us) holding the unit together. It will be completely unsatisfying to watch the foam clean out the Super Beneficial Black Mold, Mildew, Hair, Lint & Dust Combo™ (that is not only a health hazard but making the unit less efficient at cooling necessary for air conditioner function) and leave the metal shiny.
It is a lot of elbow grease and definitely not just spraying a can and waiting. Especially do not use the ones that are self rinsing via the natural condensation of water around the coils where all you have to do is let the foam settle a couple hours before turning the unit back on. These foaming cleaners are also terrible to use on the removable air intake vent covers. You definitely do not just have to spray the opposite side of all the trapped shit on the plastic mesh and let the foam push it off. Also that stuff on the cover is great for you and your air conditioner.
Trust us. We, the mold, know much more about air conditioners than the people who make aerosol cans you can pick up for like $8 at home depot. Definitely do not do this a couple times a season.

so a few weeks ago i reported a very obvious terf. a new account otherwise entirely empty at the time, the most terfy terf to ever terf, having terf in the username, and being openly transphobic, transmisogynistic, and saying slurs: (there's more to the post but you get the gist)
and this was the response from tumblr support:
someone At Tumblr @support looked at this, presumably read it in full, and decided that it's fine but maybe they should put a content label ??? content warning for bigotry ???
There Is Someone (Or Multiple People) In Tumblr Support Right Now Who Openly Endorses Transphobia And Transmisogyny But Will Terminate Transfems' Blogs For Literally No Reason Given. At This Point It Might Even Be Unofficial Site Policy To Allow Twerfs But Nuke Transfems' Blogs
they said the same thing to me when I reported a terf community with terf in the name consisting of nothing but posts mocking and dehumanizing trans women and they said the same thing to me when I reported multiple people making explicit death threats towards my friend
any report against a transfem or harassment target gets clear priority, facing much harsher and swifter punishment for much less, if they've even done anything at all, while the people stalking and harassing take weeks to face little to no punishment and get to appeal it all away regardless
HEY-HO Came back with my designs of all Mask transformations (+Tatl)

22 Million Mouths to Feed
Community, devotion, and soul-satisfying food in Karbala, Iraq.
Story and photography by Richard Collett from Saveur Spring/Summer 2025
AS THE SUN SETS in a blaze of orange over the golden domes of Karbala, drums beat and black-clad pilgrims pack the streets of one of Iraq's holiest Shia cities, a two-hour drive south of Baghdad. Some 22 million believers have descended upon Karbala (population: 600,000), as they do every August for Arbaeen, the largest annual gathering of people in the world. And those people have to eat.
From a rooftop, I watch endless processions of pilgrims inch toward the shrine of Husayn ibn Ali-a grandson of the prophet Mohammed, who was martyred at the Battle of Karbala in 680 c.e. Everywhere you look, there's food: women seasoning chicken in big copper vats, men grilling skewers of meat over hot coals, bakers slapping samoon (Iraq's signature flatbread) into makeshift tandoor ovens. Remarkably, all these delicacies are free.
"Arbaeen is a reaffirmation of our religion," says Jassam al-Saidi, a historian who works for the Al-Abbas Shrine in Karbala. He explains that Arbaeen ("40" in Arabic) marks the 40 days of mourning for Husayn, one of the 12 Shia Imams seen as the prophet's successors.
It's written in Shia histories that Husayn sacrificed himself in a triumph of good over evil. Though commemorated since the seventh century c.e., Arbaeen was outlawed under Saddam Hussein's Sunni-led regime, then revived in 2003 after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. Arbaeen now attracts more pilgrims than the Hajj to Mecca, as Shias reclaim their tradition.
"Imam Husayn protected the values of the prophets [...] so people give food to pilgrims in thanks," al-Saidi explains, describing how Iraq's citizens donate their time and money to keep so many fed. "When you love someone, you gift them food. It's Iraqi culture. We always give away bread rather than seeing it go stale."
Iraq's boundless hospitality is in full force during the celebration-volunteers provide not only free food and water but also lodging, medical care, and even foot massages at service stations called mawkibs. There are some 14,500 of them along the desert roads to Karbala. Al-Saidi tells me they're "the lifeblood of Arbaeen."
Some mawkibs are little more than a guy and a grill, while others are major operations funded by sheikhs and managed by big-name Baghdad chefs. At one, I meet Syed Zaheer Abbas. A student from Pakistan, he has walked nearly 50 miles from the holy city of Najaf, starting each morning at 4:00 a.m. and resting at prayer times. "It's hot. You're tired. But you're served water and food constantly," he says. "If your shoes break, they repair them. You don't need money. You don't worry about anything because the people of Iraq serve pilgrims from all over the world." Karbala locals-along with volunteers from across the region-give as much as they can.
On Al-Jumhuriya Street, close to Husayn's shrine, I spot butchers breaking down carcasses in alleyways. Women in colorful hijabs patiently queue for plates piled high with dolmas stuffed with rice, onions, and peppers.
A bit farther down the road, the smell of shawarma draws pilgrims to a makeshift kebab kitchen. At the center of the billowing smoke is Ahmed Albayati. He had an hour's sleep last night, and sweat drips from his brow as, bleary-eyed, he shovels glistening meat seasoned with cumin and coriander into toasted samoon.
"We make 7,000 meals a day," he says, thrusting a hot, fresh kebab into the outstretched palms of a woman in a flowing black robe. That evening, Albayati's team of 15 volunteers will serve nearly 500 pounds of shawarma with assembly-line efficiency.
At breakfast tomorrow, there will be bubbling cauldrons of makhlama-eggs and tomatoes seasoned with bahar asfar, a blend of turmeric, cumin, coriander, and cardamom-to tend. Then it'll be lunchtime: hacked-up roast chicken, fluffy timman anbar (yellow rice), and rib-sticking fasolia yabsa (white beans simmered in tomato sauce).
A few stalls away, silver-bearded men dig into boiled pacha (sheep's head), their fingers dripping with grease. Behind them, a pot of kubba (dumplings in broth) simmers away on the dusty roadside, and a group of teenagers serve mugs of Iraqi coffee, squeeze pomegranate juice into plastic cups, and pat napkins into hands.
It's dark now, but the heat is still punishing. Beside the teenagers, I notice an elderly man with a keffiyeh wrapped around his head. He's covered in sweat and using a scrap of cardboard as a fan-not for himself, but for the tides of people who pass him, in a noble effort to keep them cool.
