Listen.
EVERYBODY knows (or should) that you DO. NOT. STOP. in Vidor, Texas.Â
Itâs best to just run out of gas elsewhere. Whatever you do, black folks, DO NOT STOP IN VIDOR, TEXAS.Â
Thereâs a good chance youâll get lynched or just come up missing - and Iâm not joking.
also do NOT stop in Harrison, Arkansas!!!! (relatively close to OK and MI) a nazi town with a BIG KKK organization.

They are called sundown towns and there are a LOT of them in the US.
https://sundown.tougaloo.edu/sundowntowns.php
This website has a clickable map where you can see suspected and confirmed sundown towns by state, as well as information about whether these attitudes are historical or current.
The homepage of Dr. James W. Loewen, author of Lies My Teacher Told Me, Lies Across America, and Sundown Towns.

My obligatory addition to this every time it crosses my dash, because I know the link is definitely missing ones in my own (northern) state and there are some in this thread not on the above link either - thread by LeVar Burton with a LOT of replies from people naming the sundown towns near them:

Thinking about alternate timelines.
What if Lizzie let Cleo live with her, just not in an ugly addition to her house, and Cleo never based with Etho? Cleo letting Lizzie burn her old build with encouraging eyes. Now, they're even.
What if Lizzie followed Pearl out of gratitude, and after finding that Pearl and Joel were going to be on the same team, decided to become the fifth member of the Mounders? Either stubbornly making her mound as pretty as possible, or joining Pearl, Bdubs and Joel in their seeming rot of building skills.
What if Lizzie, realizing she had no one besides her husband, travelled to the other side of the map to beg Gem to let her join her alliance. "Pumpkin sisters?" she'd invoke. They'd change their name to accommodate the new girl, and Lizzie would be in an aesthetic environment again... but this time, with no threat of lava being poured down on them. This time, they're safe.
What if Lizzie still died first, but this time someone joined Joel in their mourning. What if they had a funeral for her, just like they had for Jimmy. What if they had a memorial, just like Martyn keeping his allies' bones to honour their efforts.
What if Lizzie was given the recognition she deserves... from the fandom?
YES SECRET LIFE LIZZIE MY BELOVED TRAGEDY
oh I would have loved to see all of theseâŚ
(alsoâŚmind if i yoink some of these ideas for my secret life! Lizzie time loop AU?)
Go for it!
decentralize and clean up your life!!!
use overdrive, libby, hoopla, cloudlibrary, and kanopy instead of amazon and audible.
use firefox instead of chrome or opera (both are made with chromium, which blocks functionality for ad-blockers. firefox isn't based on chromium).
use mega or proton drive instead of google drive.
get rid of bloatware
use libreoffice instead of microsoft office suite
use vetted sites on r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH for free movies, books, games, etc.
use trakt or letterboxd instead of imdb.
use storygraph instead of goodreads.
use darkpatterns to find mobile game with no ads or microtransactions
use ground news to read unbiased news and find blind spots in news stories.
use mediahuman or cobalt to download music, or support your favorite artists directly through bandcamp
make youtube bearable by using mtube, newpipe, or the unhook extension on chrome, firefox, or microsoft edge
use search for a cause or ecosia to support the environment instead of google
use thriftbooks to buy new or used books (they also have manga, textbooks, home goods, CDs, DVDs, and blurays)
use flashpoint to play archived online flash games
find books, movies, games, etc. on the internet archive! for starters, here's a bunch of David Attenborough documentaries and all of the Animorphs books
burn your music onto cds
use pdf24 (available online or as a desktop app) instead of adobe
use unroll.me to clean your email inboxes
use thunderbird, mailfence, countermail, edison mail, tuta, or proton mail instead of gmail
remove bloatware on windows PC, macOS, and iOS X
remove bloatware on samsung X
use pixelfed instead of instagram or meta
use NCH suite for free software like a file converter, image editor, video editors, pdf editor, etc.
feel free to add more alternatives, resources or advice in the reblogs or replies, and i'll add them to the main post <3

... something dreadful
wikipedia no longer being anywhere near the top of search results when looking up anything feels eviscerating
#they really said âyou canât use wiki as an academic source-use our garbage AI thatâs even less reliableâ#and you canât even opt out of it
no but you can FORCE it away. use ublock origin and copy paste the blacklist i made into the filters to be able to remove the bullshit AI overview that google forces. it also removes youtube's forced ads (at least until they fix it)
you can also use the ublacklist extension and use this blacklist of AI image generation websites to curate your google image results
there are ALWAYS ways around stuff. it's just a matter of looking into it and asking around
I'M FREE
It is done (enough)!
I would hype it up more but this is really really simple. It randomly generates a set of symbols, colors, and a word, and then the expected thing to do with those is you draw some sort of character based off the result you get. So it's just an art challenge toy thingy.
There are also some practical features like you can lock parts of the result in place to rerandomize the rest, or hide parts of the generation you don't care about (like if you want to pick your own colors or hate the words being there)
You can try it out over on itch.io!
It should run in browser, but there's also a downloadable version for Windows if you want to use it offline. (No mac/linux versions for now, because I don't have appropriate computers to test those on and I...don't want to deal with mac's developer accounts or whatever their problem is...)
Here's something I made from one of the results I got for the sake of example:
(It's a bit of a rushed drawing sorry I just wanted to get the actual generator out there)
I hope everyone has fun with it :]
I was already having a bad week, trying to free myself from my financially abusive father, just trying to be 21 and allowed,
not to mention how youtube keeps giving me conservative propaganda ads- unskippable even, cause youtube has officially crossed that line for me, not to mention how goddamn hard various websites are trying to get me to buy their ai programs even though i was already considering their sites and now absolutely will not, not to mention my fucking college making one of those ai sites a requirement and the entire critical thinking required course being just ranting about ai and only one teacher and dropping out because mandatory and
anyway point is the straight up isreali government sent me an ad for their bible podcast and of course it was a bunch of slideshows of ai images

A quick tip for writers out there, who use Microsoft Words:
Change the background colour of the pages to a mint green shade.
It is said that green is a calming colour, however, the main reason why I like this, is because I can write for a much longer period of time now, as a white background I used before made my eyes dry and exhausted after just a few hours of working.
It is basically much more soft and careful to the eyes. I canât precisely explain why that is. I think itâs that by making a pinch softer contrast of the text and the background, your eyes does not get exposed to as much light.
Just make sure to not make the background too dark, or else your eyes will get exhausted do to over-fixating the lack of contrast between text and background.
And maybe you find a nice pastel/light background shade that fits you; give it a try.
Different things work out and fits for different people. And I just felt like sharing this.
Hereâs the shade numbers I used to get my preferred colour:
Thanks for reading.

Ya girl is leaving her imgflip era, I repeat, she's leaving her imgflip era! And while she's at it she's probably going to finally learn video editing, which she's been putting off for years!
sometimes my Beloved Mutuals will rb a post about a certain character archetype and i will have to physically restrain myself from saying âyeah you would say that wouldnât youâ
jasper you donât get to get away with this that easily.
new ask game: whatâs the character archetype that makes you go âof course you would say thatâ when i post about it?
