WARNING ABOUT A REALLY NASTY NEW VIRUS.

Meet CryptoLocker. It’s your worst nightmare. A lot of antivirus software, including the big names, cannot yet detect or stop it. If your computer gets it, CryptoLocker takes all your files hostage by encrypting them and giving you a certain amount of time to send a certain amount of money to the man behind the virus.

The encryption is very tidy, and so far seems uncrackable (well, crackable, but it might take a couple centuries). If you tamper with the virus itself, it will pretty much self-destruct and take everything with it. And the way the money is transferred, the dick programmer behind it all for the moment is pretty much uncatchable.

YOU CANNOT GET RID OF THIS VIRUS WITHOUT COMPLETELY WIPING YOUR COMPUTER. YOUR ONLY CHANCE IS PREVENTION AND PREPARATION.

Back up your computer to something like an external hard-drive, or even an internal hard-drive that you just take out and stuff away somewhere for safe keeping. Make sure your antivirus is up to date, avoid skeevy sites, and don’t open random emails. DO NOT download email attachments unless you know exactly what it is, because that seems to be how this is primarily being transmitted.

You can learn more about it here.

We’ve actually run into this at work. It’s extremely aggressive and a major fucking pain to get rid of. One of our guys got infected with it and even paid the company whatever fee they charge to decrypt the files, and due to “an error processing the first payment”, ended up double-charging him (no refunds, of course) and is virtually untrackable.

Literally fuck this guy with a cactus. Like, if you see him, offer to introduce him to your little cactus friend in a quite personal and intimate manner. This shit is FUCKING INEXCUSABLE.

Also, bulk up on your virus protection, limit your porn and illegal cartoon-watching and torrents to safe sites, DO NOT OPEN EMAIL ATTACHMENTS UNLESS YOU’RE EXPECTING THEM, and just be careful in general, cause this one is one of the nastiest viruses around.

I wouldn’t reblog a virus alert unless I was dead serious about how bad it is.

ATTENTION PLEASE!!! you have probably already heard of this, but just in case you didn’t here are the news!

In China expatiates a trend that looks like a sick joke, but unfortunately isn’t! LIVE ANIMALS like turtles, fish, lizards etc are being TRAPPED in TINY PLASTIC BAGS and sold as decorative KEYCHAINS!

The bag contains crystallized oxygen and nutrients designed to keep the animals alive, but in reality, most DIE within A DAY! And the ones who make it longer SUFFER every day!

This is not a fucking keychain, it is plain TORTURE!

If you want to do something against the most fucked up keychains ever, here is the petition!!

Please spread the word, so that this madness stops!

I’m sorry for tagging this with fandoms I just want as many people as possible to see this

African-American man says NYPD made him rap before freeing him

The whole entire NYPD deserves to die and burn in hell.

===

He says the officers told him if his rap wasn’t good enough they wouldn’t let him go.

"I felt like the old days, slavery. Like dance for the master, dance and sing for the master. It just messed me up inside," Shingles said.

Shingles says his lawsuit isn’t about money. It’s about doing what’s right.

"This is about me being able to tell my story so this won’t happen to another kid. This is outrageous. This is very disrespectful," Shingles said.

[mohandasgandhi]

NYPD really isn’t doing much to change their reputation of being the scummiest police force in North America. Ray Kelly has to go.

[thebigblackwolfe-deactivated201]

are they really the scummiest or does their tea just get spilled more often than all the other scummy police.

I think the thing I adore/enjoy the most about Nicki Minaj is that time and time again, almost any and everywhere she can? She makes it clear that her actions are NOT for the male gaze. The male gaze gets no peace from Nicki Minaj; she disrupts it constantly. She disrupts their fantasy. She disrupts the ability to ignore and project onto her - cause she’s not going to be the same one moment to the next, far less one song to the next.

Nicki Minaj lives and breathes radical presence as a woman, a WoC, being whole and not one dimensional; forcing herself out of projected molds and it is AWESOME.

I’m reading this book called Colonize This!: Young Women of Color on Today’s Feminism and it is honestly brilliant. It’s a collection of essays from about ten years ago (pub. 2002) written entirely by women of color about their experiences with racism and feminism, and their journeys to accept become themselves in a world that worships whiteness.

I can’t even express my gratitude for the bravery of these women for sharing their stories. Privilege: checked. I am speechless.

"Ceremony", by SenshiAphrodisia

[Notes: A small ficlet I wrote a few months about about the creation of Chibiusa and the Quartet as a united team who take over for the Guardian Senshi. I love thinking about the future of these girls. This is just one of the many things I think about for them. They have such wonderful dynamics that would make for a super interesting team <3] As trumpeted fanfares echoed on crystalline walls, Juno fought the urge to fidget with the knowledge that every eye in the throne room watched her and her sisters. The throne room had been decorated with banners depicting the colors of the newly appointed Guardian Senshi, but Juno didn’t pay attention to them. Her eyes were drawn towards those who stood in front of her. The Queen and the King were striking in their formal clothing, and they were flanked by the original Guardian Senshi, two on each side. They were never far from their Queen.

I don't understand how people can't see Shinji and Kaworu as queer. I was surprised how blantant it was and happy. It's even worse for femslash, especially in Utena and Sailor Moon.

Wait. People deny UTENA? How is that even…possible…? Jesus. At least they can’t take Haruka and Michiru from us! That’s made totally explicit Naoko Takeuchi states it literally in the manga (and in an interview). The reason it pisses me off so much is that it extends WELL beyond anime. This heterocentricism is one big thing that makes it so hard being queer. You’re presumed straight at birth and until you “come out.” Otherwise, you’re “lying” for “letting’ people assume you’re straight! If we didn’t assume everyone was heterosexual, and weren’t required to come out, life would be easier.

And then you have the fact that the limited representation we have in art and media is recurrently taken from us by straight people denying its existence. And the message is, when you see a straight critic saying Kaworu and Shinji’s relationship is “cheap shock value” and “ludicrous and completely humorous,” that gay relationships can never be taken seriously or be meaningful in a series.

Yesterday I posted a photograph of Beyoncé on Ms. Magazine with some probing questions that I have for the article, which included this text:

I will be interested in seeing if the article reveals the nuances of her perspectives (such as ones revealed in her documentary), whether they
