âDraco? Why not transfigure the sofa into a bed at least? Make it a little more comfortable?â
He ran a hand along the green velvet beside him, a smile playing at his lips.
âSome things are too precious,â he said.
A tufted green velvet copy of Wait and Hope by @mightbewriting
This is a vision I have had for over a year. Before I even started binding books. I finally felt that I could bring it to life. Itâs not perfect, but I learned so much from this experience and I am incredibly proud to present it to you all. I hope you guys like it as much as I do.
Thank you to some of my friends for really encouraging me through this process. I needed every bit of it. đâ¤ď¸
My copy of Beginning and End will be next. But I donât know if I have it in me to tuft that one as well. đ let me know what you think about that.
my favorite harry potter characters were interviewed in witch weekly last monthâŚ
Only love. Only Dramione. đ¤
fanfiction is so wild cause im likeâŚ..ugh im not in the mood to read a bookâŚ..iâll just read an 82k word fic insteadâŚâŚ
LookâŚ. To start a book⌠You have to make room in yourself for new characters and worlds. Do I look like I have the emotional energy for that? Do I look like I can trust like that right now? Just show me the things I already know pay good returns on my investment, except I also want to read something new so I guess they can be in a coffee shop this time.
Not me dusting off my tumblr just for dramione đ

Unauthorized water
Itâs not clear when General Electric started boobytraping appliances with DRM. I first encountered it in January when Shane Morris tweeted about his fridge refusing to accept the $19 generic filter he replaced the GE $55 filter with.
https://twitter.com/IamShaneMorris/status/1220367934947758080
The fridges use an RFID detector to distinguish original GE filters from generic replacements, and engage in lots of anti-owner trickery, like memorizing the IDs of previously used filters and refusing to accept them.
https://bbs.boingboing.net/t/unauthorized-charcoal-ge-fridges-wont-dispense-ice-or-water-unless-your-filter-authenticates-as-an-official-55-component/159552/41
Morris isnât the only one ourtaged that his fridge is plotting against him. One (anonymous) owner was so offended that they created a site dedicated to warning off potential buyers and explaining to other suckers how to bypass GEâs lockouts.
https://gefiltergate.com/
Thereâs a good reason for the anonymity. Under Sec 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, showing how to bypass an âaccess controlâ to a copyrighted work (eg RFID-detecting code in the fridge) is a potential felony, carrying a 5-year prison sentence and a $500k fine.
This is quite the moral hazard. Manufacturers have learned that if they design their products so that any use that hurts their shareholders (like buying third party parts) requires bypassing DRM, it becomes a felony to use your own property to your own advantage.
Which is why weâve seen DRM creep into all manner of devices, from insulin pumps to tractors to car engines to Iphone screens. âFelony contempt of business modelâ is the statute that every monopolist has dreamt of, and with DMCA 1201, they have it in their grasp.
Back in 2011, I wrote a short story about this for MIT Tech Reviewâs first sf anthology, called âThe Brave Little Toasterâ (in tribute to Tom Disch).
https://craphound.com/news/2011/09/28/the-brave-little-toaster-from-trsf/
The issue only got worse, and so last year I published âUnauthorized Breadâ as part of my collection âRadicalizedâ (itâs being turned into a TV show by Topic):
https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/01/unauthorized-bread-a-near-future-tale-of-refugees-and-sinister-iot-appliances/
The metastasis of DRM into every product category shows that when business apologists talk about the sanctity of property, they mean the sanctity of CORPORATE property.
If the manufacturer gets to override your decisions about the things you buy - and felonize any attempt to wrest control back - they property ceases to exist. We become tenants of our devices, not owners.
Itâs digital feudalism, in which an elite owns all the property and we get to use it in ways they proscribe. The difference is that today, our aristocracy isnât even human.
Itâs the immortal, remorseless colony organism called the Limited Liability Corporation, to which we are mere inconvenient gut flora.
This is why so many copyright activists are saying âthe whole system is fucked; we need to rebuild it from scratch.âÂ
itâs also fucked up that fat people literally fear going to the doctor for anything because they know the first thing out of their drâs mouth no matter what their ailment is, is gonna be âlose weight lolâ broken leg? lose weight. rash? lose weight. whooping cough? lose weight binch!!!!! like we get it. but can you just write my prescription you bitch so i can go eat a salad and not call you again until im about to die of the plague????
I would not be surprised if someone did a study and found an increase in misdiagnosis of fat patients due to doctors focusing solely on weight loss as a panacea and ignoring other vital issues
You mean like this article from the NY Times (from September of 2016) talking about how doctors refuse to consider non weight related issues until they absolutely have to?
Why Do Obese Patients Get Worse Care? Many Doctors Donât See Past the Fat
Or this study showing that even though the bias is often unintentional it greatly changes patient care?
Impact of weight bias and stigma on quality of care and outcomes for patients with obesity
Or this study that showed that maternity providers have a bias towards obese women and often provide subpar care or push elective procedures?
Weight stigma in maternity care: womenâs experiences and care providersâ attitudes
Fat Shaming Tied to Increased Risk of Metabolic Problems this one that says that obese people who are made to feel bad about their weight are 41% more likely to have medical complications as a result of the internalized stress (high cholesterol, high sugars, high blood pressure- or need meds to treat those conditions), versus people who donât feel stigmatized.Â
âPeople Firstâ â Ending Weight Bias in Diabetes Care â Evidence also indicates that doctors may spend less time in appointments, provide less health education, build less rapport, have lower expectations for medication adherence, and have less desire to help patients with obesity compared with thinner patients. â
I think about this every time I see something saying that obesity is a high risk factor for any other illness.
Translation: Patients who have been dismissed and ignored by doctors over the span of many years have statistically worse outcomes when struck by a health crisis.
Money-saving tips adapted for people w/ ADHD:
1. Convince yourself that the future is Real and numbers have meaning
my econ teacher has been trying to teach about scarcity by having a limited amount of graph paper available for students who donât have any (she has the last few pages in a pad and when itâs gone, itâs gone) but itâs very undercut by the fact that i have a whole pad and iâll let people have a piece whenever they need it
sheâs teaching scarcity, youâre teaching the value of sharing a resource when you have enough to spare
YES EXACTLY!!!!!
In particular, sheâs teaching artificial scarcity by being a person in an authoritative position withholding resources that are actually abundant from people who need them.Â
You are breaking the illusion of power and scarcity by showing the supposedly scarce resource is actually in abundance and if distributed properly everyone would have what they needed to pass the class.
She's also the person that creates the need for the paper for assignments in the first place

i ventured out in search of casual entertainment and my brain said fuck you we only do obsessions
in this house we stan penn badgley who has no time for your romanticizing dangerous white men bullshit
i was with my motherâs family and they were talking to me about my religious studies major. my great aunt asked me what the definition of hell was, and i responded âwell i suppose it depends on who you ask.â and nearly all the protestants in the group decided that hell was âthe absence of godâ which i suppose is a fair answer, albeit not a universal one. my cousinâs wife was playing with her 3-year-old daughter and she says âwell mommy says that hell is a mcdonaldâs playplaceâ asdfghjhgfd
this 3-year-old girl is so fucking hilarious. her mothers have signed her up for a toddler yoga class, and so she has adopted a very unique language. this child also has an imaginary friend named âmomâ which is, in her mind, the boss of her two mothers. for example, my cousinâs wife explained to me how her daughter got mad at them one time. the little girl situated herself in the corner of her crib, pretended to type on a cell phone and said âim writing an email to mom right now and telling her how bad you two are. namaste.â
the familyâs Big Theory about âMomâ is that both my cousin and her wife are referred to as âMommyâ and âMama.â The nickname âMomâ is not used in the house because it would just be confusing. However, when interacting with the world, people tell their daughter that they will âtell her momâ if she is doing something wrong. so this child automatically assumes there is this greater âMomâ figure that is responsible for distributing universal justice.Â
Shes emailing god
âim writing an email to mom right now and telling her how bad you two are. namaste.â
