Decided to make a collage for my wallpaper. I will be making more because this was funner than I expected.
I used a lot of stickers I've had lying around for years at this point and just some random magazine scraps and printed a couple of pictures from my phone. I wish I added more owls but I find that the magazines I have are mainly focused on landscapes and travel destinations than animal focused sadly.
was thinking about that one blind professor post earlier today and how well it applied to the aptly named Team Dark
(really 'Team Dark' just sounds a lot cooler than 'Team Saves-On-Electricity')
bonus gag from late last night:
This is my magum opus so far

Reminder for Americans that Feb 28th is a 24-hour nationwide economic blackout! This blackout is to protest major corporations rolling back DEI initiatives. Do not spend money on the 28th from midnight to midnight. If you have to spend money then buy from small local businesses. Iāve heard about this boycott through several sources so Iām hoping itāll be big (but itāll be bigger if you tell people about it)!
USA people! Buy NOTHING Feb 28 2025. Not anything. 24 hours. No spending. Buy the day before or after but nothing. NOTHING. February 28 2025. Not gas. Not milk. Not something on a gaming app. Not a penny spent. (Only option in a crisis is local small mom and pop. Nothing. Else.) Promise me. Commit. 1 day. 1 day to scare the shit out of them that they don't get to follow the bullshit executive orders. They don't get to be cowards. If they do, it costs. It costs.
Then, if you can join me for Phase 2. March 7 2025 thtough March 14 2025? No Amazon. None. 1 week. No orders. Not a single item. Not one ebook. Nothing. 1 week. Just 1.
If you live outside the USA boycott US products on February 28 2025 and stand in solidarity with us and also join us for the week of no Amazon.
Are you with me?
Spread the word.
Organised by Peopleās Union, read more here:
When Donald Trump reentered office, one of his first calls to action was to end several DEI initiatives in the federal government.
'This won't work, this isn't widespread, nobody knows, we're in a bubble, blah blah blah' my mom, a 64 year old lady with no social media whose first language is spanish, told me about this before tumblr did, and said we are going to participate.
I've seen flyers for this in real life. Do it.
Small reminder that you should really download your favorite fics off of AO3. We are seeing mass censorships well as the chance that anything, such as another severe DDoS attack can shut down the site making works unaccessible and possibly lost for good.
If you do not know how to download fics, it is a simple 2-button click. I've written a tutorial here.
You think your stuff is safe until it's suddenly not, and then often times it's too late.
This post starts with AO3, (because it seems to be the common denominator across all users on this website /joking) but I recommend extending preservation efforts to anything online if you can manage to download it.
I'm not saying panic and start buying tons of storage devices to hold immense amounts of stuff. A cheap usb can hold plenty of things. You don't have to stop using services still available if it's more convenient to read books on your phone than to fill your backpack with 7 of them.
But you should still get (either buying or creating) physical versions because nothing is guarantee that it will remain forever. From shows being pulled from streaming services, to banned books, to losing access to digital copies of media because the service doesn't support it anymore, the account is lost, or the company goes under. This goes for messaging platforms as well. Your role-plays with your friends on discord can be lost forever, your photos can too.
This doesn't even include media most vulnerable to censorship and how quickly it can be removed, and quietly.
You think it will not happen to you, it will. Do not wait for unforeseen circumstances. Go back up and preserve what you can, your future self will be happy that you did.
now that trump has tiktok, twitter, facebook and insta in his pocket, get ready for a massive wave of internet censorship. one of trump's greatest weapons has always been misinformation; it's going to become harder and harder to spread facts and criticism going forward. posts that aren't made invisible will be magically ignored by the algorithm. dissidents will have their accounts deleted and voices erased.
this is a suppression tactic. this is another stage of fascism.
youtube is pulling this bullshit again
praying for the firefox gods to save me once more...
I just fixed this for me!
I use Ublock Origins (and recommend). Once you have it go to Settings and then Filter lists
Scroll down and expand the Built In option. Then uncheck the "quick fixes"
Apply changes and reload your youtube page!
Not sure how long this work around will function so time stamping to 12/20/24 ~4pm EST
Yup I found this on a reddit thread shortly after I posted and it worked for me. Reblogging to raise visibility.
eat drink sleep play
you are being cared about!! what do you earn by rejecting it!!
Readers, make sure you have all your favourite Ao3 fics downloaded.
Writers, make sure you have copies of all the fics you have posted on Ao3.
I donāt want to be alarming, but things could get really bad really fast. OTW shared this today on Twitter, and I'm a bit worried about it š
Ao3 is a non-profit organisation. If they have to start paying taxes, I have no idea what will happen.
I'd like to remind everybody that this isn't just about A03 or civil rights organizations. This could be applied to any 501 organization. That includes churches, schools, museums and library support organizations. All sorts of support organizations like soup kitchens or places like goodwill. Those are all non-profit organizations and they all have a 501 status. This is a threat to every civil organization we have that is meant to help the public.
So please contact your representatives. Please look this up on Twitter and click the link so you can call your representatives and voice against this. Because there's a hell of a lot more at stake with a bill like this than just ao3. People's lives could be at risk.

The House will vote THIS WEEK to determine whether the incoming Trump administration will have the power to shut down non-profit organizations with no due process.
Congress has already tried to fast-track this legislation once and failed because of the onslaught of calls to their offices. We canāt let them do this quietly. Congress giving Trump the power to crush dissent and target organizations fighting for justice is a betrayal. Tell your representatives to vote NO on this dangerous bill!

URGENT: Tell your reps to vote NO on H.R. 9495!
op link the fucking article
https://www.sbnation.com/a/17776-football enjoy reading about football :)
Something is terribly wrong. Something is terribly wrong. Something is terribly wrong. Something is terribly wrong.
thanks. what the fuck
for my american followers
i have seen a few say they would take their lives if trump won, and i know it may seem like a dark pit but your survival is both a resistance and rebellion. they want you dead and silenced, don't let them take that
I'm terrified to post any Iterator OCs because I dared look at other people's and now I feel like my stuff isn't good enough or original enough so I got sad and made 3. This one is my Iteratorsona, Whispering Will-o-Whisps (Whisp/Whisper, he/she/they) 1 of 3 of my new ones. They're not meant to be close to canon at all, they're just a comfort character and expression of my current self. This whiteboard fox doodle is all I have of them and their scug right now, but I love them already š„¹
Oh and I nearly forgot about the scuggie ā” Starflower is their emotional support slugcat, they're a genetically modified glider from my custom biome Verdant Wilds (basically a rainforest), so they have feathers that help them glide. I have a drawing of them I'll reblog with once I get a picture of it
Edit: fixed spelling cause my dumbass forgot to proof read š„°
VIZ Media just put a bunch of official, complete anime on YouTube for free
Exactly what it says on the tin. Here's the link to the official article from Viz. There are ads* ofc but to be able to watch these for free in HD is a pretty big deal.
Note that they are all Japanese dub, English sub. (The subtitles are not YouTube captions but part of the video itself, for whomever it may concern)
Here's the current list w/ links to the official playlists:
Death Note (All 37 episodes)
Hunter x Hunter (Seasons 1-3, 148 episodes)
Inuyasha (COMPLETE SERIES W/ ALL THE MOVIES)
Mr. Osomatsu (Seasons 1 & 2, 50 episodes)
Naruto (Seasons 1-8, 220 episodes)
Sailor Moon (COMPLETE SERIES)
Handful of other movies, 4 of them are Inuyasha that's already been stated above but includes TIGER & BUNNY, K Missing Kings, Accel World, etc.
I hope this helps someone who's been wanting to watch one these shows! I know most people don't get news from Viz so I didn't want this to just go quietly under the radar because this is actually p nice to have in a world where you either have to pay for or pirate everything. I really hope they add more titles in the future!
*Also, they say ads but I use Firefox w/ uBlock and all the other anti-capitalist goodies and I've watched the first SM episode and gotten no ads so this may actually be an avoidable thing for a lot of us so like,,, go watch some free anime luv lmao
EDIT: I have been informed that this is not available in counties outside of America. Which isn't surprising but is disappointing. If someone w/ a VPN wants to let me know if they can work around this lmk and I'll update here.
EDIT 2: Quote from an Anon:
"Windscribe VPN on my phone worked for watching Viz media's anime uploads! I'm sure there's better and less limited free options but that's the one I found with a quick search to try it out. Haven't tried it on a laptop though so can't comment on it's viability there."
Tysm for letting me know Anon!!

#one of protonvpn's free options is the us
"The House," a parable I drew about leaving the Mormon church. As people on the internet have pointed out, you can also see it as representative of plenty of other institutions (organized religion, yoga cults, the united states government, etc) so take your pick. I want to include some version of this in the graphic novel I'm working on, as well.
I FOUND IT THANK GOD this video is so important
This is real and here is the patent. Nonconsensual data collection is detailed in column #4 on page 17.

Real observations since I started wearing a wizard hat daily:
- Brim is so wide that I stay BONE DRY taking walks in the rain
- Brim can be positioned to block the sun from ever getting in my eyes AND keeping it off the back of my neck
- The pointed top part creates an air pocket, keeping my head from getting hot or squishing my hair as it might in a ball cap
- Hat can easily be pulled down over the tips of my ears without looking dumb, protecting them from wind chill
- Strangers say they like my hat, giving me the chance to tell them that I am a wizard
- When youāre wearing a wizard hat, ALL OTHER FASHION CHOICES become secondary, allowing you to branch out with style
Embrace ego death. Stay protected from all elements. Wear a wizard hat.
