Since this is the month before Pride Month, I've been debating whether to add these to this list or not, but decided what the hell, let's see what happens.

So since there's no official ebook, first I present to you The Persistent Desire (EPUB – 20MB); edited, formatted, and coded to the best of my ability. Originally from the PDF on this thread. Figured someone would like a clean, reflowable copy.

Second, I give you the Tumblr Gay Webcomic (PDF – 579MB), originally from this thread.

Forgot to add this one before, and I just thought about it. Originally from this post. Just as for The Persistent Desire, thought someone might want a clean, reflowable copy. (Can’t believe I forgot to add it before.)

Hope you enjoy!

Not a story, per se, but a video this time. Thought I would add it here for anyone interested. Recently did a project of upscaling a Matrix fan film called The Fanimatrix: Run Program. Read the post for full details. If you want to skip straight to the juicy stuff, you can download the goodies here:

Recently, @elvenwhovian posted a link to her original Geekish Web Comic here on tumblr. However, not many people read it. It’s not perfect, but it is a rather amusing little comic. If you’re interested at a glimpse into geekdom (Doctor Who, LOTR, Star Trek, even Portal), and want to read it offline, you can download the whole comic here:

Geekish (PDF – 10MB)

Hope you enjoy it!

New project, everyone! @elvenwhovian made a wonderful Vessel of Fire: Believer (book 1) web comic which has come to an end. However, it doesn’t have to be the end for reading it. With her permission, I have created a full, special edition PDF version (1.9 GB) which you can download here. There are two links just in case.

We hope you enjoy!

A Fragment Out of Time by Diane Marchant (PDF – 1.7MB)

[The very first Star Trek (and possibly very first ever) Slash Fic]

When the brain fog kicks in..

You send people to space to save the literal entire world and you still don't trust them to dispense their own drugs

I didn't see any art of this scene so I decided to throw this in the ring because I thought it was very funny

“never kill yourself” is such a funny phrase to me that i think it’s accidently started working. its like an affrimation. say ‘never kill yourself’ enough times as a joke and maybe you won’t try to kill yourself over minor inconviences anymore

[venatoris]

i made this image for the express purpose of this

idk if anyone else has seen the surge of memes making fun of cave divers recently. there was a comment on one that was like "cave divers with 4 kids, 2 degrees, a loving wife and a huge house when they learn that Satan's Sphincter has a 0% survival rate" it had me crying laughing

[library-bat-girl-deactivated202]

You'd think "oh, well they're rich dipshits with no training who pulled a Stockton Rush, IE: did something everyone told them not to and then died" but nope, 90% of cave diving stories are like "Johnny Wetsuit had 5000 hours diving experience, a doctorate in Cave Diveology from the most prestigious university in the world, was trained to swim by literal navy seals, was part dolphin and had the power of echo-location, God himself contacted him to let him know the conditions in Drowning Idiot Cave were going to be perfectly safe for cave diving, so he went Cave Diving, made one tiny mistake, and then he got stuck and drowned to death."

[liiionhearted]

ok but there’s a reason cave diving signs go so hard

[beardedmrbean]

My brother used to do SCUBA stuff and apparently there's spots in places like Lake Tahoe where there's just bodies that haven't been recovered because the people that could go and get them know better than to go diving in the parts of the lake where the bodies are.

[mama-germany]

I feel like the ‘Satan’s Asshole Cave’ meme is a bit of a misnomer though because half of these places are named. Nutty Putty. Darby Canyon. Wookey Hole.

It’s more like; Loopty Doopty Cavern, where 18 out of 25 known explorers had to have their bodies dragged out over excruciating 28 hour long recovery missions

I've read a lot of fics and posts about Rocky imitating some of Grace's body language or phrases, but I haven't seen nearly ENOUGH about Grace being the one to copy Rocky.

Grace tapping or stomping twice to signal a question.

Grace doing the jazz hands.

Grace doing that thing when Rocky is counting that he uses his fingers (even if Grace isn't actually counting with them, he picks up the gesture)

Give me Grace being a weirdo and walking on all fours like Rocky. Rocky thinks it's hilarious how slow he is like that.

Give me Grace subconsciously copying random noises Rocky makes (not the words, but his equivalents to "ooohhh"s and "ahhhh"s and "hmmmm"s) because if there's something I've noticed about humans, it's that if we spend long enough with someone, we start mimicking each other. Hell, even with animals it happens! You've ever noticed that cat owners have entire meow-ing conversations with their cats? With dogs it happens too. Or that when parrots do their bobbing dances, a lot of us start copying that? And their chirping too. I like that a lot. I'd like to see Grace doing that.

[othr-wrlds]

I was thinking about this today too! I also think Grace would start to speak more like Rocky, or grammar that Rocky uses when it’s translated. Like saying “Grace” instead of “I”, repeating words etc. I wanna hear Grace say “Happy happy happy”

Even just from thinking about them a lot I’ve noticed my internal monologue is becoming… more Rocky-ish… which maybe just speaks to how impressionable my own personal language is but hey. Give this guy echolalia.

The European Union already forced Apple to abandon its proprietary charging port and adopt USB-C across its entire iPhone lineup. It just did something bigger. A new EU mandate requires every smartphone sold in Europe including Apple devices to feature a battery that can be replaced by the user without specialist tools, without voiding a warranty, and without sending the device to a manufacturer approved service center. Batteries must maintain a minimum capacity threshold after a set number of charge cycles and replacement parts must remain available for up to ten years after a model goes on sale.

The consumer electronics industry built its current business model around batteries that degrade, cannot be replaced at home, and create a natural upgrade cycle every two to three years. The EU just legislated that model out of existence in the world's largest regulatory market.

Apple, Samsung, and every other manufacturer now faces a choice between redesigning their devices for the European market or accepting that their current hardware architecture is no longer legally sellable there.

Given that no company walks away from European consumers voluntarily the phones are going to change and once they change for Europe the rest of the world will ask why theirs still do not.

wikipedia no longer being anywhere near the top of search results when looking up anything feels eviscerating

[ichorandpride]

#they really said “you can’t use wiki as an academic source-use our garbage AI that’s even less reliable”#and you can’t 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
