The Falcon's Pen is Sharp And Quick @geneeste - Tumblr Blog

hey! saw your tags on this post and idk what ships you're looking at, but if you happen to be interested in sam/jack, there's a big community of folks on discord & bluesky who would be happy to help with fic finding including yours truly! a lot of the older fics are crossposted so they're still online even if the link is dead. and many of us have saved files for fics that aren't around anymore.

please feel free to reach out if that would be helpful! if S/J isn't your ship, I'm sure the other ships have similar setups, I'm not as personally familiar but I might be able point you to the right people :)

hi thanks for reaching out!!! I’m actually getting really into Daniel/Janet (which I did not see coming until it whacked me in the head with a mallet) and I keep seeing references to the danandjan archive which is not there anymore 😔

if you know anyone hoarding any fics for them…. I would be very grateful…

(Sam/Jack is also very very fun and I’m enjoying their moments as I watch. I don’t know why my mind chose to go off in the Daniel/Janet direction except that it is also very fun)

Omg danandjan! Yes, the sister list to samandjack! I also arrived to SG1 fandom late so I've done a fair bit of sleuthing, but I don't know if I've come across a specific Wayback link to that site. If it exists, someone around these parts will know though.

I assume you've already done this, but if you come across dead links, throwing them into the Wayback Machine and then trying to backtrack to the main site from there is always a good bet. (If that's confusing, DM me a few links and I can try!)

I also assume you've already seen this AO3 collection?

For older SG fanfic, you definitely want to check out fanfiction.net - you can probably filter for Janet, although beware that some of the older Stargate fic predates the FFN character categories so you might have to go through manually as well. I also sometimes use Scryer to search SG fic on FFN.

It might be a bit frustrating, but I've seen some danandjan fics crossposted on samandjack.net if you're willing to trawl through a ton of SJ to get there.

I'm sorry that I've never dived deep into the Daniel/Janet waters so I don't have any recs for you! The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Unguarded by RedGrayBall. It's mostly an SJ fic, and it's unfinished. But if you don't mind that, I really enjoyed the DanJan bits (short as they are).

Putting out the call to the SG community - please feel free to add anything you know about the danandjan list or other Daniel/Janet fic! I'm certain I have mutuals who were on that list back in the day, if they're willing to show themselves :)

Reblogging to tag a few folks who might have some info or remember anything about the danandjan list! @sententiousandbellicose @geneeste @mylittleredgirl

pretty sure I did the chrome//flags thing a while ago, but also i switched to firefox, which is not without the occasional bullshit, but is vastly less bullshitty than chrome. This is why I treat genai "features" like the invasive blackberry bushes they are: cut, root, burn, and vigilantly watch for new shoots to uproot. I'm 54 years old and the world got by fine without genai for most of my lifetime.

The only ways to make the deletion stick are to disable Chrome's Al features through chrome://flags or enterprise policy tooling that home users do not generally have, or to uninstall Chrome entirely

...

Adding the file took zero clicks. Removing it requires (a) discovering the file exists, (b) understanding what it is, (c) navigating into a hidden user profile path, (d) deleting it (and on Windows, also clearing the read-only attribute first), and (e) accepting that Chrome will silently re-download it on next eligible window unless the user also navigates chrome://flags, enterprise policy, or platform-specific configuration tooling to disable the underlying Chrome Al feature. None of those steps is documented in the place a normal user looks - none of them is even hinted at in default Chrome.

Hey, would you like a SIGNED COPY of my book? Because I'm giving away THREE! All you have to do to enter is follow @cjhousman and reblog this post! It couldn't be easier!

Only one reblog will count for entry, so there's no need to spam your friends, but I will of course not stop you because maybe one of them just wants to buy the book directly! It's got romance! It's got weird reality TV drama! It's got gratuitously shirtless men and a well-meaning himbo!

The giveaway will run for ONE WEEK, closing 5/11/26 at noon EST. I'll notify the winners via Tumblr DM. If you don't respond within 48 hours, I'll choose another winner. I'll ship anywhere in the world but obviously you will have to give me your address.

Also, if you're in the Boston area and enter the giveaway but don't win, I'll be happy to find a way to sign your book in person! I assume we can make that happen.

Nasty and sophisticated scam: BEWARE of this!

If an email recently landed in your inbox with a subject line like "Pending charge of USD 987.90 for account activation. Questions? Call 855

Don’t get caught off guard by this. It’s quite a slick one.

What to actually do If you get one of these, the answer is boring and it works every time: Don't call the number. Don't reply. Don't click links in the email — not even the unsubscribe link. Open a fresh browser tab, type paypal.com yourself, and log into your account. Check your activity. You'll see either nothing, or a tiny incoming payment from a stranger that you can ignore. Then forward the original email as an attachment to [email protected] and delete it. If you want to go a step further, report the phone number to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov — every report makes it slightly harder for these operations to keep running. And if you've already called? Don't beat yourself up — these scams are designed by professionals to fool smart people. Hang up, run a malware scan if you installed anything they asked you to install, change your PayPal and bank passwords from a different device, and call your bank's real fraud line (the number on the back of your card) to flag your accounts. Move fast, but you don't need to panic.

from the above linked article. For the UK the email to forward phishing scams to is [email protected], texts can be forwarded on to 7726 (for free!) and as a victim of fraud you can report it here (or here for Scotland)

— If an email recently landed in your inbox with a subject line like "Pending charge of USD 987.90 for account activation. Questions? Call (855) 629-1161" — don't call that number. Don't click anything. And whatever you do, don't panic-dial to "stop the charge."

You're being targeted by one of the cleverest scams going right now, and the reason it works is uncomfortable: the email genuinely came from PayPal.

The trick is in the subject line, not the email

When most people think "phishing email," they picture sketchy senders, broken English, and links to weird domains. This scam is the opposite. The email passes every authenticity check — SPF, DKIM, DMARC, all green. It comes from PayPal's actual mail servers. The fonts are right. The footer is right. The unsubscribe link works. If you forwarded it to a security expert and asked "is this really from PayPal?" they'd have to say yes.

So how is it a scam?

Scammers have figured out that PayPal lets anyone send small amounts of money to anyone else, and that PayPal will dutifully email the recipient a notification. The scammer sends you a payout of, say, one Hungarian forint — about a quarter of a cent. PayPal's system then automatically generates and sends you a real, legitimate, fully-authenticated email confirming the transaction.

Here's the catch: the email's subject line is whatever the scammer typed when they set up the payout. PayPal doesn't sanitize it. So they write something terrifying like "Pending charge of USD 987.90 — call this number with questions" and PayPal's servers cheerfully deliver that subject line straight to your inbox, wrapped in a perfectly legitimate-looking notification.

The actual transaction in the email body is for 1 forint. There is no $987.90 charge. There never was. But by the time most people read carefully enough to notice that, they've already dialed the number. —

#I got this #or something a lot like it #but PayPal notified me of suspicious activity and I went through a security reset process #it was relatively painless #thankfully #but this is good advice

it's an accessibility tool i made for myself because i needed it, which basically lets you focus on one sentence at a time as you read large blocks of texts (books, articles, etc.). it offers different highlight styles, some of which use gradients to help guide your eyes from the start of the sentence until the end. you can move forward and back pressing the buttons or using ALT + left and right arrow keys if you use it and you find it helpful please tell me about it so i can have the motivation to keep improving it. i love knowing people use my tools

[ID. Two gifs of the accessibility tool in action. They highlight one sentence at a time for ease of readability.

The first gif shows the tool cycling down the paragraphs, from sentence to sentence, in a thick yellow highlight.

The second gif shows the different highlight styles such as; a thick yellow, a thinner yellow, no highlight at all, a gradient highlight, blocky tri-color highlight by line, and colored text by line. End ID.]

I’m a college student struggling with brain fog due to medical issues, I’m definitely going to try this out next time I’m working on one of my reading heavy courses :) a lot of my books are accessible via some website cloud thing on a browser because owning things isn’t real anymore. this looks like something that will really really help me.
