I am going to get so do annoying about dungeon crawler carl by the way. Highly recommend.

I sat behind the same girl in class all year and I was painfully jealous of her beautiful curly hair and I assumed she had just figured out some hair routine I didn't know, or had more time in the mornings than me, or was somehow more disciplined or just lucky. And then my friend talked to her one day and found out she gets 500$ perms and highlights 3 times a year. The answer was literally just money. The same friend found out that most of our classmates who I thought were just naturally smarter than me went to private highschools that cost 25k a year.

This is all a metaphor to say that there will be times when you feel like other people understand something that you don't, or have some ability that you don't, or are better than you in some way because they've accomplished something you can't. And it's going to turn out that they're just rich and they spent thousands of dollars to make that happen. You are not bad, you are not broken, the system is just fucked.

Today I fixed a huge problem at work because I was the only one on the team who knew how to adjust tooltips (thanks ao3) so don’t ever let anyone ever tell you writing fanfiction isn’t worthwhile.

what if instead of having a fake name for internet personal-life purposes we could have a fake name for professional work-life purposes

the thing about copyright abolition is that. what makes theft bad is that something is taken away from its rightful owner. in this sense, copyright infringement is literally not theft, because making a copy of something doesn't tangibly cause the original owner to lose anything that they would otherwise have. copyright enforcement, on the other hand, does take away people's access to what should be theirs. anyone who makes art while employed by a corporation and is unable to sell their work because it does not belong to them, anyone who's been sued by a pop musician for making music that sounds vaguely similar if you don't allow the jury to listen to the actual songs, these people have far more in common with victims of theft than anyone whose copyright has been infringed

anon hater just accused me of (among other things) "encouraging kids to install malware on their parents' computers". I don't remember ever doing that but it sounded like a fun concept for a post so here are some ideas for things to install on your parents' computers!

a custom DNS resolver that blocks access to Fox News and other right-wing propaganda outlets

a keylogger to capture the admin password for your router so you can disable parental controls

a VPN or a virtual machine running the Tor browser to bypass access restrictions and age verification checks

your own "parental controls" browser extension, set up to send you notifications if your parents visit websites that indicate they might be spying on you (e.g. Life360)

a userscript that adds a fake virus warning popup to the donation pages of fascist political parties

have fun! make sure to do loads of reading and learn how things work so you can break them safely and effectively!

oh, and anon, my advice to you is never stab a man who collects knives

hello my wonderful incoming disabled college students I have message for you:

you have hopefully gotten your college acceptance letters and have decided where you're going next semester. if you have an accommodation that you absolutely must have by the beginning of classes it is time to schedule an appointment with the department that manages your accommodations now.

at the beginning of the fall semester there is a rush to get accommodations that can push appointments back for weeks. if, say, you can't understand your lectures without an interpreter you need to make sure that accommodation is planned out by day one.

be prepared with the documentation for your disability at your appointment. it will save you time and additional appointments.

Email template:

Hello,

I am an incoming freshman at (college) who needs to set up accommodations for the fall semester. I have (disabilities) and I need (accommodations) before the start of the semester in order to access my classes. I was hoping to set up a meeting to discuss getting these accommodations.

Thank you,

(Name)

send this ^ to the department at the college you plan to attend that manages accommodations. their email should be able to be found on their webpage. if you have an email with your college set up (you should) then use that email to send this message. they might not respond to other email addresses.

It is running very close to the start of the semester for many colleges! If you have not done this already then start this process now before you are stuck going the first month without your needed accommodations

Some lovely folks also pointed out that some colleges and universities require accommodations to be renewed for every semester so if that describes your college then I would also recommend setting up a meeting for your accommodations specialist sooner rather than later.

was talking to a coworker and realised i could not for the life of me remember his name but i was too embarrassed to ask because we've spoken multiple times so mid-conversation i started concocting a plan to nudge the conversation towards the ID photos on our building passes so that i could be like oh my ID photo is awful haha the camera they use to take these has a real talent for making me look as unphotogenic as possible and then he would say oh yes me too haha everyone says that (because they do) and then i would be able to say well let me see yours it can't be as bad as mine! and he would show me his ID because we are coworkers and why wouldn't he and this would allow me to see his building pass which of course would have his name on it and then i would be able to say well yours is perfectly nice it must be me that's the problem! and then we would have a polite chuckle about it and i would have his name without needing to ask for it and he would be none the wiser and all would be well but then before i could execute this fine plan a little voice in my head went "so this is some light yagami bull shit you are about to pull" which was such a violent reality check it shocked me completely out of my embarrassment and i went "hey im so sorry your name has slipped my mind could you remind me" and he did and it was fine.

In elementary school, my best friend and I had this game we would play where we were school supplies living inside a child's desk and going on slice-of-life adventures inside it. And I remember that a key component of our school supply society was a sort of religious schism that existed around the purpose and nature of the giant hand that occasionally reached in to grab different citizens, use them, and then return them, because most school supplies considered this an auspicious and enviable moment of being selected for a greater purpose and allowed a glimpse of a vast truth, but pencils considered it a horrible portent of doom because they always got sharpened during it and came back smaller and closer to death. We were third graders btw.
