In the past, people were more afraid of witches than they were of the monsters who burned them.
Now, people are more afraid of immigrants than they are of the monsters who kidnap and torture them.
Some things never change.

I got a 4 min long video of Kimchi dreaming today, so here's a clip
You get the whole walk cycle and the little sprint at the end.
Sometimes her sprints last for like 4 or 5 seconds and she can shoot herself off the couch or into a wall if she gets a grip with her back claws. If she does it next to a wall, her head smacking into it sounds like someone is trying to break into the house. She doesn't wake up.
Later in the dream she injured her paw and was limping, and earlier she caught something and ate it.

we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason
torrents work like this
i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3
unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it
i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map
i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs
this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.
crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.
please learn to torrent
An expert guide to get started using torrentsTorrents are one of the most popular forms of file sharing on the internet, accounting for over
always use qbittorrent, do not use bittorrent or utorrent.
The worst-sounding piece of advice I've ever been given that does actually work is to frame your health concerns as coming from someone close to you, whom you do not believe. Tell your doctor that you've been having pain and your mom/friend/partner thinks it might be an ovarian cyst, but you don't think so because the pain is much more intense and it has to be something else. This gives your doctor an unseen third party to fight instead of you. They can't just tell this third party, who isn't present, that you pulled a muscle, they now need to prove to this third party that it is not an ovarian cyst.
At which point they will find an ovarian cyst, but they now get whatever fucked up satisfaction they derive out of proving you wrong, because you didn't believe it could a cyst at all, but guess what? They did find a cyst! It's such a good thing you didn't listen to your intuition and came to them to verify your lay diagnosis from that third party! Bonus? Doctor doesn't have to feel like they look stupid in front of a patient, which is really what all this is about. Not your health, why would you think your medical diagnosis is about your health? It's obviously about a doctor's potential ego.
And apparently this works. Apparently you just need to be able to always play 4D chess with your medical professionals in order to find an avenue of advocating for yourself and getting you medical needs met. Isn't that great?
I hate it here, actually.

Every so often I’ll see posts from people trying to work out whether they ‘count’ as something - usually some type of LGBTQIA, sometimes neurodiverse, sometimes disabled
And as they talk about it, it’ll become clear that they’re thinking about that label because there’s something in their life that’s uncomfortable, and they can see people with that label NOT doing that thing, and they’re wondering if they have a right to also not do it.
So this is me, giving you permission. Label or not, YOU ARE ALLOWED to:
Stop dating people (of a particular gender or in general)
Start dating people (of a particular gender or in general)
Have less (or no) sex
Have more sex (or with more people)
Get married
Not get married
Plan to never get married
Have a friend more important than people you date or have sex with
Wear skirts

Use fidget toys
Use noise-cancelling headphones
Take painkillers (or other over-the-counter medication)
Ask for help
Not eat that food
Ask for food alternatives
Not drink alcohol
Avoid that location with the crowds and the noise
You are allowed.
You are allowed to do these things some of the time, or all of the time, or only once.
If they make you feel better in yourself, maybe someday you’ll decide to take on the label that applies to many people who do them. But you don’t NEED a label.
You are allowed.

Coming soon for the @destielaureversebb: “The Cost of Duty”
Author: TwinOne @twinone1221 Artist: @sketcheun
Rating: Mature Archive warnings: Graphic depictions of violence Length: 12,000 words Tags: Alternate Universe – Medieval / Fantasy, Duty vs Love, Mutual Pining, Canon-Typical Gore, Angst Relationships: Dean/Castiel
Summary:
Castiel rides into King John Winchester’s capital with his celestial armor still gleaming and exile still fresh on his back. Denied by the Order that raised him and stripped of his rank for daring to attempt to rescue his sister, he has only one option left.
He’s come to the king's court seeking aid to rescue his beloved sister from the clutches of an abusive marriage.
Castiel feels duty-bound to save her at all costs.
He didn't expect the cost to be his heart.
Excerpt:
Denied again. But I will not stop, Anna.
Before Castiel could speak again, another voice cut through the air like a blade.
“Well that’s disappointing to hear.”
Castiel turned.
A handsome young man dressed in the court’s finest clothes strolled into the throne room as though it belonged to him. Castiel wondered who he was and what gave him the confidence to talk to the King and prince in such a familiar way.
“Dean,” Prince Christian sneered. “Are you done playing with the ladies of the court?
Dean flashed a grin, hands in the pockets of his trousers. “I got bored and was hoping something was happening here, Sir Castiel’s request sounded interesting but if Father’s already said no, then I guess the fun’s over.”
“Dean,” King John warned.
“What?” Dean shrugged. “I’m bored. And everyone keeps trying to marry me off. You know I’m too pretty for that nonsense.”
Castiel studied him and had to admit the man was beautiful. He’d never seen features quite like Dean’s in any man before. Bright green eyes surrounded by delicate eyelashes, a symmetrical nose that made his plump lips look just the right size, sharp cheekbones covered by a smattering of freckles. All of these features accompanied by a careless posture, rakish grin and the eyes far too sharp to match either. He masks his real feelings with humor. This man is dangerous. Dean’s gaze flicked back to Castiel. “So you need knights? To storm Alastair’s estate?”
Castiel nodded cautiously. “Something like that. A small force would be enough if led with precision. I would only need a distraction.”
“And you’re doing this to save your sister?”
“My sister and her children, yes.”
Dean’s grin softened, but only slightly. Enough for Castiel to see something honest underneath.
“Well then,” Dean said, turning back to the king. “Let me go with him.”
King John’s jaw tightened. “Absolutely not.”
