I've only been writing, like, three sentences a night while hiding out in my bathroom. I need this person out of my home. I can't do anything with them around.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Sam Handwich.

If Pikiwedia says it it must be true.

[zooperdoopers]

I made Pikiwedia real. Works for any Wikipedia page. Use this wisely :)‌

Oh, wary dell vone

[zooperdoopers]

Goodmorning to the Anthropic Claude AI training scraper that suddenly decided to request 660 thousand pages (exactly the number I had remaining on the starter plan) and brought Pikiwedia down. 

Sudden switch from diverse user agents like chrome, safari, messenger preview to Just Claudebot. I'm not even mad though, this is maybe the funniest thing possible, because I've inadvertently poisoned their training data with thousands of fucked up articles with normal urls. 

Pikiwedia perseveres, back up with a better robots.txt. I hope Anthropic has a gery vood time with Pikiwedia's data :))

What type of tree would you be? If you were a tree

Oh my gosh I forgot to reply to this. I'm sorry!

I would be a lemon tree, if I had my druthers. But more likely I would be a hardy Mountain Birch because when I went to look at Scandinavian trees, I was immediately like, "Ah, yes. That's the one. That's me."

hot take comments like "I hope I get cyclosporiasis I want to lose 10 lbs" are not only obvious fatphobia but also part of mass illness normalization that has been an ongoing effort since 2020 to minimize the dangers of disease and infections

They want to act like high levels of sickness whether it be airborne or foodborne are normal and not the responsibility of agencies like public health or food safety regulation so they can get away with dismantling them.

[covid-safer-hotties]

"No one's going to die," they say. Factually incorrect and honestly we don't have good data on what a society that's normalized explosive diarrhea looks like, but y'all have an idea what the cholera era looked like, right?

Mass disease is not normal and preventable. One of the number one causes is how large agricultural companies refuse to treat their employees like humans: people picking the food you eat don't have bathrooms, so when they get sick, they're left with a choice to shit their pants and get back to work or squat in the field and get back to work. I know which I'd choose in their shoes...

Mass illness isn't just a public health issue, it's a workers' rights issue and more!

We wanted to say that all proceeds of our zine will be donated to Doctors Without Borders!

They are a non-profit organization that offers medical humanitarian assistance to people based solely on need, irrespective of race, religion, gender, or political affiliation.

I went to go see Supergirl last night and it was way better than I expected it to be! I would say I don't know why more people aren't talking about it, but I do in fact know why. It's about a mess of a woman who is not sweet and one of the main themes is, "All women are in danger from men."

One of my favorite things was what her mother told her during a flashback, which was (paraphrased), "You must be good. That doesn't mean you can't be tough. And you don't have to be nice. But you must be good." So often niceness is equated with goodness when that is simply not the case.

Another favorite part is at the end with Krem. I don't want to give spoilers, but it was 👌👌👌 in my book.

[euph-a-loof]

Thank you @sumiensp ❤️

[karizard-ao3]

I have so many things to pay off right now (expensive repairs on my old car, lien on my new car, my kids 13th birthday trip, my cat's upcoming teeth extraction) that I'm kind of kicking around the idea of starting a Patreon to see if I can get a little extra money to put towards it all, but I also take issue with locking access to content behind a paywall so I'm not really sure how to navigate this, especially since writing is such a long process and I wouldn't have new things to share very often. I could raffle off a monthly drabble to paid subscribers, I guess? But idk if I could commit to more than that.

I was also thinking of a Substack but then that's also time consuming and what would i talk about? My favorite media? Original writing snippets?

Idk. I was not built for capitalism.

This is an absolutely FASCINATING cultural snapshot.

[jouster-ari]

@21st-century-minutiae

[21st-century-minutiae]

In the early twenty-first century, symbols of the United States (such as the flag or the colors red, white, and blue) were co-opted by fascists, as part of a cultural trend with clear roots in the twentieth century. As such, in order to avoid signalling support for the coercive elements actively looting and destroying the nation, people seeking to celebrate the nation on its official founding day (the fourth of July), looked for new symbols.

In the year 2026, the fascist, infantile, compulsive liar president of the United States, in one of his many fits of egomania (and desire to steal money), got it into his head to renovate the Reflecting Pool, a component of the Lincoln Memorial found in the United States, to make it look more "blue". He instigated an overpriced renovation, giving the contract to a political supporter (and likely pocketing some money via kickbacks) ignoring standards and procedures that were in place to enure quality and prevent corruption. The stooge company drained the pool, painted the bottom blue, and refilled the water (not before the president had his motorcade drive across the bottom of the empty pool for some reason, damaging the renovation).

The new, darker color resulted in the water heating up, and the previously clean pool being filled with algae.

The algae served as a symbol of base reality, demonstrable proof of the grift and idiocy and senseless destructing inherit to the presidency in a manner that violates the fragile ego of the idiot and the corrupt brownnosers serving him. In this way, algae became a desirable symbol in the year 2026, as documented above.

These are probably the first kids he never shot on sight

[patrochilles-or-bust]

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

[patrochilles-or-bust]

Yes, nonblack people can reblog. I'd appreciate it, in fact, if y'all took the time to vocally support your Black friends/fans in fandom.

[dungeon-meshi-tournament]

I'll be honest, the way I see some of you reacting to the series' dark-skinned characters in the notes is less than excellent. Please try harder to make this fandom a place where black fans of the series can enjoy themselves.

Turkey to imprison LGBT advocates, criminalize same-sex ceremonies in new bill: report - Stockholm Center for Freedom

Turkey’s justice ministry is drafting legislation that would imprison people for publicly praising LGBT identity, criminalize same-sex engag

[bisexualantagonist]

EXTRA INFO:

The Bill hasn't passed yet; however it is very likely. Turkey just shut down the social media accounts of LGBT+ organizations, and quietly banned/"made not possible to see" multiple dating apps for LGBT people such as Taimi. These are small steps leading up to this. Just less than a year ago the distribution of Estrogen was made ten times harder and hormone replacement therapy laws upped the transitioning age from 18 to 21. Please speak for us.

[danceundersparklinglights]

i’m going to be really honest with you guys i think the tendency to read the absolute worst possible intentions into every action you don’t agree with is getting too automatic and it’s eating you from the inside out

[haaaaaaaaaaaave-you-met-ted]

How dare you say we wanna eat someone from the inside. Cannibalism is wrong
