here's where to find it on windows 10
Ugh, it was in mine. It's off now.
IT GETS WORSE
I had to turn this off, but it's something that allows Windows and anyone using your device to generate text/images.
LOBOTOMIZE YOUR MACHINES
AI is a freacking plague, I share this for any windows user.
Stop bringing your pet dogs to protests. Please. For the love of god. If you do not need the dog with you as a vital service animal, do not bring them, for the safety of the dog and the other attendees.
Even the best-trained dogs can react unpredictability to sudden chaos. On top of that, cops can and will shoot dogs if things get dicey. There are endless reports of dogs being brutalized by cops. This is not a new phenomenon.
If shit hits the fan, you need to be alert, aware, and not distracted by the dog's safety/behavior. What are you gonna do with your dog if the tear gas and rubber bullets get deployed? If a car barrels into the crowd? If someone tries to provoke your dog as an excuse to escalate violence?
A protest is not a block party. Leave your dogs at home where they belong.
Gaza now hosts the largest group of child amputees in modern history
1 in 4 people with life changing injuries are children. So many children have been killed and so many of the ones that have survived have to live with such awful injuries not to mention all the mental health issues these poor children will face.
Israel is still bombing civilians every single day btw.
URGENT! If you're in Colorado, please, please be careful! If you know any trans men or transmasc people who might be in Colorado soon, please let them know about this. If you know any trans or LGBTQ+ groups, community centers, etc. in Colorado, make sure they're aware!
If you're cis, it's encouraged that you reblog this. Just spreading the word is a great opportunity to be an ally.
WTF
NOT KIDDING GUYS BE VERY CAREFUL HERE ARE SOME SCREENSHOTS OF CONVERSATIONS THIS DICK HAD WITH AN LGBT ACCT ON IINSTAGRAM
Be very very very very very careful my dudes and please stay safe
UPDATE:
This guy hellsing_ultimate700 deleted his account and started a new one under the name of axel_van_hellsing. Spread the word and stay safe!!!
I hate to reblog something like this onto a blog that’s supposed to be a safe space, but I want as many people to see it as possible
PLEASE READ. WILL NOT HURT TO AND FORWARD. Kids are putting Drano, tin foil, and a little water in plastic drink bottles and capping it up - leaving it on lawns, in mail boxes, in gardens, on driveways etc. just waiting for you to pick it up intending to put it in the rubbish, but you’ll never make it!!!
If the bottle is picked up, and the bottle is shaken even just a little - in about 30 seconds or less it builds up enough gas which then explodes with enough force to remove some your extremities. The liquid that comes out is boiling hot as well. Don’t pick up any plastic bottles that may be lying in your yards or in the gutter, etc. Pay attention to this. A plastic bottle with a cap. A little Drano. A little water. A small piece of foil. Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM!! No fingers left and other serious effects to your face, eyes, etc. Please ensure that everyone that may not have email access are also informed of this.
Snopes confirms.
I’ve dealt with these before. If you find one:
Do not touch it
Do not touch it
Clear the area around it. It will explode on its own in time.
Once it explodes, do not make contact with the liquid inside. If needed, flush it away with large amounts of water.
Do not try to detonate it. You’ll probably be disfigured.
I’ve seen what these can do. The acidic liquid inside can strip the paint off a car.
when i visited vancouver these were everywhere. it’s not a fucking joke they’re actually scary
Just a reminder that there are awful shitty people out there doing awful shitty things to everyone else
there was a bunch of these at disneyland
i found one in my back yard, when i let my dogs out, i pulled them back inside, took my cousins bb shotgun and shot it from a safe distance (i was in my house and shot from the screen door. When it went off, my family and neighbors came running to see if everything was ok. I told them what happened and to watch out for them.
These things are not a joke! When we went to check the damage there was a fucking hole in the ground. The dirt in my yard is like CLAY.
This shit is bad news
PLEASE DON’T BE AN ASSHAT. PLEASE DON’T LEAVE BOMBS IN PEOPLE’S YARDS.
Please spread this information!
the one fucking time I actually will signal boost cuz I didn’t know about this and would never ever wanna learn about it first hand
we actually had the bomb squad called to our house for something like this and it totally ruined the paint on my big bro’s car. :c
@takashi0
Shared before, but sharing again.
this isnt my blog type but its really important
Please be aware and be careful. These can harm people, pets, property and wildlife.
If you see one, keep your distance and wait for it to go off on its own.
My brother delt with one by putting a large metal bowl over it, but that’s extremely dangerous as well.
Be safe please.
SIGNAL BOOST. I HAVEN’T SEEN THESE BUT WILL KEEP A LOOK OUT.
[My chemistry professor told us about these this week because we’ve been learning about the main ingredient in Draino, Sodium Hydroxide.]
LET THE WORLD KNOW!!!
I’m on mobile and can’t link, but Snopes confirms. If you see one, call the police. These are DANGEROUS.
THIS ISNT FOLLOWING MY BLOG THEME BUT ITS VERY IMPORTANT!
FUCKING BOOST THIS SHIT THIS IS SO DUMB WHY
wait wait wait… there are people who are saying that lesbian lis can only exist if the book is genderlocked??? you guys have really been played so hard by pb it isn’t even funny anymore… u know that they could put a line of code in their stories to make gay and lesbian lis right?? that it’s not some magical thing u need to offer a human sacrifice for it to happen, pb is just lazy and doesn’t really care abt putting in the effort
ALSO IF YOU’RE CIS STOP USING AISHA TO FURTHER PROVE YOUR ARGUMENTS!!!
I get why some of you complain about gender locked books and I do agree that some books (like sunkissed or hfth) could “easily” have a male mc. Most of all, I understand the complains about the mistreating of mlm players (lack of representation, fetishizing etc). But you guys complain about certain books being gl without even considering how a female only mc matters to the book’s plot, or how important it is to women that certain mc are necessarily female.
-A Courtesan of Rome: a woman having that much power and influence in ancient Rome, that was historically ruled and dominated by men, is important representation.
-Platinum: the music industry is not nearly as cruel to men as it is to women. The Jaylen plot (the industry constantly putting women against each other, trying to create a feud) and the whole “cancel culture” make way more sense with a female mc. If mc was a man, her career wouldn’t be over after the Vinyl’s fiasco (if you think I’m wrong, just remember Kanye and Taylor on the 2009 VMAs). No one would be trying to create rivalry between mc and Jayleen if one or both of them were men (do you see someone trying to put Ed Sheeran and Shawn Mendes against each other? You don’t).
-Desire and Decorum: Everything about the plot with Duke Richards and needing to get married before inheriting her father’s estate makes sense with a female mc. In that time, women needed a husband to be validated- as we see in the book, everything is about finding a suitable husband. MC telling everyone to fuck off (in a lady like way), fighting back and refusing to do whatever Duke Richards told her to is the kind of representation we need. Not only did she not marry him, but she also exposed his plot and got him arrested. Iconic.
-MOTHER of the Year: yes, men can be single dads but the struggles they face can’t compare to what single mothers go through. Also, we don’t know much about the father but we do know he is a dick and probably walked out and let her to raise their child on her own, without any support- which happens to women way more than it happens to men.
-Bachelorette Party: girl squad bonding (also, one of the LI is a lesbian trans woman. That matters, that’s representation, and it wouldn’t be possible with a male mc).
-Red Carpet Diaries: same thing as Platinum. Hollywood is more cruel to women than it is to men. The assault plot in book 2, a white man trying to destroy mc's career because she told him no, wouldn’t have the impact it does with a male mc, even if men are victims of sexual harassment too- but we can’t pretend it affects men as much as it affects women.
-Ride or Die: the overprotective father who doesn’t let his daugther be free and make her own decisions. Could it work with a male mc? Sure, but it’s the kind of struggle that is more likely to be faced by a girl than a boy.
-Wishful Thinking: Girl rivalry (Ellen and MC) being encouraged by their boss doesn’t happen to men as often as it does to women. Three women (MC, Anna and Ellen) getting together to bring down not one but two corrupt white man is way more powerful than it would be with a male mc.
-LoveHacks: a man is constantly making inappropriate jokes towards his female coworker, which the also male boss doesn’t care about. MC is always understimated by her boss- the same guy who praises TJ even if he’s an asshole. Also, Martin basically hired MC to look good by having more women in the office (the same reason why he wants to hire Leah).
-The Royal Romance: I don’t think I need to elaborate here. As problematic as the whole women competing for Liam’s hand plot is, it wouldn’t make sense for that series to have a male mc altough it could possibly make TRR more interesting
-The Crown and The Flame: okay I know this book isn’t exactly genderlocked as we can play as Kenna and Dom, but could you imagine how lame it would be if Kenna was a man???
About the upcoming books: we don’t know anything about Save The Date yet so we don’t know if being a woman is relevant to the plot. As for The Royal Masquerade, we know it’s a “historical fiction book where the players will fight for power”. So, like TCATF and ACOR, it’s probably about a powerful and badass woman having an important role in history. We need more books (choices or real life ones) like that and I can’t emphasize enough how being a woman fighting for power is different than being a man fighting for power.
I mean, this was only the emotional appeal of having certain books as gender locked. We know that straight women are choices’ main audience- and they do put other players aside to please them most times, which is a whole other problem. Some books are gender locked simply because of financial reasons.
Anyway, I’m not saying that all gl books are excusable but y'all are so focused on saying it’s homophobic to have that many gl books that you don’t even realize you can be misogynist by saying that and ignoring the importance of some books having a female mc only.
All I got out of this post is that you don’t believe intersectionality exists, and that you think all men have the same level of privilege. You also seem to be jumping through hoops to justify your opinion, even when some of it doesn’t make sense.
Saying that men being sexually assaulted doesn’t affect them the way that it affects women is tone deaf as hell. Especially when men are even LESS LIKELY to come forward due to the way they are hypersexualized by society and deemed “unrapable”.
The same goes for the case of LoveHacks! Don’t you think it’d be pretty cool to have a gay male MC that has an entire mainstream article based on the various men you date in your twenties? You don’t think that “token gays” exist in the media? That men don’t also get sexual harassment in the workplace (because that’s what it sounds like you think)?
Saying that it wouldn’t make sense for TRR to have a male MC…but not going into detail as to why you feel that way. Why wouldn’t it make sense? They’ve already proven that adopted heirs are a thing, and that same sex marriage is legal in Cordonia. So like…that’s a bad take.
Bachelorette Party: Sure #girlsquad or whatever. But saying that a trans female character wouldn’t be good representation without a female MC doesn’t make sense. Her character exists independent of the MC. Unless you’re saying that her position as an LI wouldn’t exist if the MC was male. Which is also not true, because Aisha could’ve been written as bisexual. Not to say she should be one, but it’s not like MC’s are written around the characters they interact with.
It seems to me like you’re viewing this though a super one-note perspective of “men are typically straight and white, and women have less privilege than all men.” You keep mentioning women taking down white men, as if men of color don’t exist who also have to deal with white male bullshit. There are so many cases of men of color dealing with bullshit that many white women dont even have to deal with.
Even in the case of platinum, it’s clear that the MC was written as a white woman, regardless of what race you choose, because she is able to navigate the world with a level of leniency and privilege that MOST people of color (male or female) cannot. Sure the competition aspect is a thing or whatever, but it’s not like other forms of conflict don’t exist in the industry that they could’ve leaned into if the book wasn’t gender locked.
That also doesn’t factor in the trans men in our fandom who probably just want to feel represented in their books in the same ways that some of you do. And don’t give me that “some books are genderlocked for financial reasons” excuse. The company won’t collapse if they added a male sprite to a story.

Alright I just wanna share a little something that happened to me today with ya’ll. As some of you may know, my boyfriend and I are moving in the beginning of February. We actually just signed our lease today, so it was time for me to contact our utilities company as well as our internet company to get them switched over to our new apartment.
Utilities went off without a hitch. So I call my internet company, I don’t wanna be a snitch so let’s just use a made up company name. Like, how about… Verizon? So I call Verizon and let them know that I will be move. I’ve been with them for about three years now, and previously I was on a contract with them, but this past year I have been on a month to month.
So I start speaking with a representative, and he tells me that the speed that my current plan has (75 mbps) is no longer supported by Verizon. They now only have 100 mbps and up. He tells me that I’ll have to upgrade to a different plan and that I’ll have to pay a termination fee to cancel my contract with them.
I’m like um…??? I don’t have a contract with you? I used to have a contract with you, but then I called to renew it and you put me on a month to month. And the guy is like “Well maybe that’s what he told you he did, but he actually put you on a contract”. And I’m like: “But I didn’t sign any contracts, the first contract I did with you guys I signed” and he’s like: “A verbal confirmation over the phone is enough”. And that’s the first point where I’m like, either this guy is new and has no idea what he’s talking about, or something is not right.
So I tell him that I’d be happy to stay on the contract with them. And he says that I can’t, because the place we’re moving only has the 75 mbps and up. And I’m like, “Well how is that my fault? You’re the ones who aren’t supporting my contract anymore. Can’t you just continue my contract and just update the speed?” And he’s trying to tell me that there is no way he can possibly do that.
And so I ask him for the price breakdown and it’s the monthly price, plus the $90 termination fee, plus a $99 installation fee when the tech comes to set up the router in my apartment. And I’m like “I’m not paying an extra $189 to you guys for essentially the same service because you’re the ones screwing me out of my contract.” And he goes to talk to a supervisor, and they say the same thing. And he talks to another supervisor, and they say they can’t help. So finally I ask to speak to a supervisor.
I explain the whole story to the guy. And he’s like “The system over here won’t let me override this in your contract”. Listen up. Any time a representative that you’re talking to says this to you, ask to speak to someone else. This is complete and utter bullshit. I worked in IT for four years, and let me tell you, if there wasn’t a way to override every single system we used, then we would’ve been in serious shit. Companies will try to tell you that the system won’t let them override what you need done, and the truth is one of two things:
1. The person you’re speaking with doesn’t have the authority to override the system. In other words, they are useless to you. This is not their fault, politely ask them to transfer you to someone who can help.
2. They are deliberately lying to try and ply you for more money. In other words, they are useless to you. This is not their fault, this is what they’re trained to do. Politely ask them to transfer you to someone who can help.
So I was transferred to a different department. And I explained the whole story to yet another representative. And he immediately said: “If you move to a place where the services in your contract don’t exist, then your contract is null and void”. This, my friends, is what I vaguely remembered reading in my original contract with Verizon. So I said: “So you won’t charge me the termination fee?” And he said “Of course not, we’re not allowed to”.
And then he went on to waive half of the installation fee for me for all of my troubles. I was on the phone with this stupid fucking company for an entire hour, but in the end I saved $130. $130! After finally finding the right person to speak to.
TLDR: So please, if someone corporate tells you that their “system” won’t allow them to change your account, don’t take no for an answer. Keep pushing until you get what you need!
Reblog to save $130.
okay, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ASK TO SPEAK TO THE NEXT SUPERVISOR. Don’t rage and scream. Stay polite for as long as you can. But ALWAYS ASK TO ESCALATE TO THE NEXT LEVEL. That is YOUR RIGHT AS A CONSUMER.
@ cis choices players: are you still going to ignore this is happening or are you going to own up to the community you’ve created?
I hope that when you argue incessantly with trans people, when you reblog, interact and follow transphobes just because they agree with you on some things and when you refuse to listen to us and you speak over us you know you’re enabling these things.
This is the second transphobic anon I’ve gotten in the span of a week. And not only does this dehumanize trans people in a very gross way but I’m also 17. I’m a trans minor getting this kind of stuff.
So maybe think twice before hitting the post/reblog button and think twice about what you’re saying. If you’re actually an ally and if you’re not actually a transphobe you’ll listen to us and you’ll try to create an environment where trans people feel safe. Because I can assure you that 99,99% of trans choices players currently don’t feel safe/welcome in the fandom.
If you’re cis and you don’t reblog this I’m gonna go ahead and just assume you’re a transphobe.
Wtf dude Im sorry youre getting these gross asks.
fun game!! dont look at my about and guess these things based on how you perceive me:

**EDIT**
I originally made this post on my personal Instagram account on 02/15/19. Maxton Miles Baeza (@maxton on Instagram) and I were good friends for ten years after we dated. None of us want to believe that our closest friends are capable of this kind of abuse. In December I approached Max about the FIRST allegation of abuse I had heard of from a friend/ex partner of his— explaining to him that it was time for him to change his behavior— he didn’t respond. So I chose to reach out to his exes and let them speak for themselves. Of the 8 out of 10 exes that I reached out to, every single one of them expressed they felt they had been abused by Maxton Baeza. Some chose not to share their stories, some chose to share anonymously, some chose to tell their stories publicly. I believe them all.
Posted to instagran on 02/15/19:
“It feels like it’s taken me ten years to build up the courage to do this, and it has been ten years since Max and I dated, before either of us transitioned. I was sixteen when we met, we were kids. Our relationship shaped how I viewed myself as a partner and in relationships for years afterward— he was my first love. I didn’t know, until a few years later, that what I had experienced while dating him was verbal, mental, and physical abuse.
I just thought that I was a bad partner, that I never said the right things, that I deserved it when he locked me out of rooms or made me get out of his car in the middle of a city I didn’t live in and left me there. He knew what my insecurities were and would say awful things about them to make me feel bad about myself when he was upset. He withheld affection to get back at me when he was upset. He cheated on me with multiple people throughout our entire 1.5 yr relationship.
About a year after we broke up, we became friends. I met his new girlfriends, almost every single one of them. I always wondered.. did he treat them that way too? His behavior with them made me think he did, but I was truly terrified of him finding out that I was snooping around, so I never did. Finally late last year my friend Rachel, whom I met when she was dating Max, reached out to me one day. She recounted an incident of sexual assault he had told her about. That was the nail in his coffin for me. I could no longer stand idly by and be friends with an abuser.
So, I reached out to a handful of the partners he’s had in the last 10 years, and was shocked at the things I learned. Not all of them chose to have their stories shared in this post, but every single person I reached out to had similar terrible stories. It makes me sick to my stomach to think I stood by for that many years and allowed so many people to go through what I went through, and much, much worse. It’s important to me now that he is finally exposed for the behavior and abuse he has subjected partners to for ten years now.
He is in a position of power, with his “following” through his experience working at Disney, touring in big productions, and now playing a role as the main trans character in the movie Adam that just premiered at Sundance. I cannot stand by and let this person with this platform abuse people any longer. So, I’m not going to. Thank you to the brave women who opened up and shared their stories with me, you guys made me brave too. A special thank you to Rachel for being courageous enough for the both of us sometimes, and for all your support. And to Max… sorry I’m not sorry dude.”
Hey folks, this is one of the actors in the Adam film so I wanted to give this a quick boost!
PSA
Far From Home spoilers in post
If you're psychotic, on the schizo spectrum, or struggle w paranoia please be advised that spider man far from home is hella triggering
There are several scenes in which characters are in hyperrealistic simulations that they're unaware of, being tricked, having their loved ones and reality replaced with indistinguishable replicas, and a lot of other stuff along those lines. The whole movie has themes of illusions and reality control.
Reblog this if you can, your paranoid followers will thank you
