It seems that the Tumblr team has no other purpose than to delete, close, and attack the accounts of transgender people and Palestinians trying to survive genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

[abdalsalam-2000]

Two days ago, I was shocked to find that my blog, abdalsalam2000, had been deleted without warning and without me having done anything wrong, simply because I was asking for help from the Tumblr community. That blog was our only source of income that kept us alive in Gaza, and unfortunately, it was deleted by Tumblr employees.

[abdalsalam-2000]

In Gaza, we need at least $300 a day just to survive. After Tumblr deleted our account, this blog is all I have left. I hope you will help me by sharing this post, donating, and following this blog. Please, please help us and donate now.

[sporesgalaxy]

Please help Nader regain his followers and the momentum he had before his previous blog was deleted. Please donate to him now and follow his blog.

[abdalsalam-2000]

Friends, please donate now! Your help is our only hope for survival. Please share this post widely and donate here now, please!

[sillysymbol]

[charl0ttan]

please help nader survive!

[punkitt-is-here]

If you can give anything it helps a ton!

[abdalsalam-2000]

Hey everyone, the last donation was two days ago, and this post has been shared by almost 400 people, yet not a single person has donated. I'm begging you to share this post and donate now. Please don't leave us alone, and don't hesitate to donate. Please!

[treecitysessions]

Please donate if you have the means to. Anything you can spare counts a lot more than you think to Nader and his family right now!

[abdalsalam-2000]

Please donate now! Please, please keep sharing and donating. This post has been shared by nearly 1300 people, but only 10 have donated. Please donate now!

[abdalsalam-2000]

Unfortunately, despite this large number of shares and reposts, very few have donated to help us. Please, friends, share this post and donate to us. Please.

the scene where Rocky runs off to get a clock, and Grace kinda just stands there waiting and apologizing for talking so much while Rocky bops back into the screen, just chirping away--and we know those aren't idle sounds. it's language. it's Rocky talking, just as much as Grace is talking. Rocky has been so, so alone for so, so long and meets this creature who makes so much noise all the time, and even though they're sort of talking over each other it must be such a comfort to just have something to talk at, to have something talk at him. imagine if Rocky had known that Grace was apologizing for being the sole beacon of sound and life Rocky has come into contact with in five decades.

Some of My Favorite Interactive Fiction Games / IF Recommendations

If you like interactive fiction, visual novels, choice-based stories, romance, angst, fantasy, sci-fi, drama, or character-focused games, then I really recommend checking out these creators and their projects.

There are so many amazing IF games out there, and I love seeing how much passion, creativity, and personality these writers put into their worlds. Some of these games have incredible romance. Some have mystery, horror, politics, action, or emotional character drama. Some are still works in progress, but even then, they are already worth following because the concepts, writing, and characters are so good.

Here are some fantastic creators/games I think people should check out:

@infinitestarsdev @jjdove @childrenofcain-if @bloodlines-if @altaiirif @stygiansun-totaleclipse @wraithbound-if @fableforger @ri-writes-if @infamous-if @oneknightstand-if @doriana-gray-games @sanguinesky-if @naturalecho @harlequinoccult @ashenwingraven @godsandvillainsif @god-syndicate-if @peonyb @kingdoms-and-empires @devilscreekballad @jinlai @pavedinashes-if

Also follow @interact-if if you want to find even more interactive fiction games, demos, updates, and creators.

Interactive fiction is honestly such a fun space because you get stories where your choices, personality, relationships, and identity can actually matter. Whether you like romance, angst, supernatural drama, sci-fi, fantasy, horror, or just deeply written characters, there is probably an IF out there for you.

So yeah — go support these creators, play their games, follow their updates, and show them some love.

[rhinco]

i love you semicolon. no one look at my 80 word sentence

[wingkink]

btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here

[womanguy]

you should get a second evening for reading fan fiction. And you should get an extra day in the week to do arts and crafts.

random PSA, I know a lot of people use duckduckgo as a Google alternative search engine, but it always kind of annoyed me when I was using it because it felt like No Name Brand Google

I have switched to using Startpage.com and vastly prefer it. for one thing, instead of displaying an "AI summary" at the top of the search results (unless you turn it off, yes I know), it displays the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article, with link, whenever it finds one that's relevant.

also a waaayyyyy better sense of design than duckduckgo

also private, European based, least annoying search I've used lately (RIP old "don't be evil" Google)

[yomikoreadsbooks]

Keeping a list of Google alternatives just in case…

[saxifraga-x-urbium]

i have one of those, scraped from multiple different rec posts:

Search Engines

Infinity Search is an alternative search engine with a special focus on privacy

DuckDuckGo is a popular search engine for those who value their privacy and are put off by the thought of their every query being tracked and logged. Uses bangs, ![site] for in-page search (sells your data to microsoft and draws from fucking bing)

WolframAlpha is a privately owned search engine that allows you to “compute expert-level answers using Wolfram’s breakthrough algorithms, knowledgebase, and AI technology.” A data search engine.

Boardreader is a search engine for forums and message boards. It allows you to search forums and then filter down results by date and language.

Based in France, Qwant is a privacy-based search engine that won’t record your searches or use your personal details for advertising. Uses “&” as a bang search.

Another privacy-based search engine is Search Encrypt, which uses local encryption to ensure that users’ identifiable information cannot be tracked. Metasearch across multiple engines. 

Offering unbiased results from several sources, SearX is a metasearch engine that aims to present a free, decentralized view of the internet. Can be self-hosted. 

Gibiru’s tagline is “Unfiltered private search” and that’s exactly what it offers. Requires AnonymoX Firefox add-on for privacy. 

Disconnect allows you to conduct anonymous searches through a search engine of your choice.

Swisscows provides fully encrypted searches to protect your privacy and security. Built-in violence/porn filter cannot be overridden. 

MetaGer offers “Privacy Protected Search & Find” through its anonymised search. A plugin will allow it to be made a default.

Gigablast is a private search engine that indexes millions of websites and servers real-time information without tracking your data, keeping you hidden from marketers and spammers. Variety of filtration and refinement options for searching. 

Oscobo is a search engine that protects your privacy while you search the web. By not using any third-party tools or scripts, your data is protected from hacking and misuse. Has a Chrome extension to allow use in toolbar. 

https://search.marginalia.nu/ an independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren't aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed. Use old-school searching rather than query-based for the best results. 

https://www.mojeek.com/ 

https://wiby.me/ - It’s goal is to index as many personalized websites as possible, and NOT commercial sites. 

https://4get.ca/ it works a lot like SearX, but honestly better. It doesn’t have its own index, but pulls from many others. I think it’s the best for research, since it allows you to search for answers from different indexes, is easy to configure, add free, and avoids censorship as much as it can.

https://www.searchenginemap.com/ for more on how search engines relate to each other.

https://yep.com/ is a crawler

https://www.etools.ch/ retrieves from Google, Mojeek, Bing, and Yandex, like Searx

https://www.dogpile.com/ 

https://searxng.org/ (next gen Searx)

https://luxxle.com/ - possibly conservative?

https://presearch.com/ - good for academic?

https://kagi.com/smallweb - free/randomised Kagi.

Other Searchers

www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.

www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.

actually fucking disgusting that glasses cost any money like if you actually think about it for more than a few seconds it is so unconscionably inhumane. this goes for things like insulin and mobility aids and hearing aids too ofc but fuck man, fucking glasses? the thing you need to fucking see? its genuinely sickening and inhumanly evil that those cost ANYTHING.

[stillnaomi]

using violence to liberate people from sweatshops, unsafe mines, and grinding poverty isn't the same as using violence to impose those things on people. the idea that violence is morally repugnant regardless of context is a belief that every oppressor throughout history would love for the oppressed to hold
