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

being on tumblr for a long time but never reading homestuck like

[rederiswrites]

Quietly losing my mind over the fact that Elon Musk has straight up orchestrated a coup of our executive branch and like....I don't even know what, if any, system we have in place to fix this. Like... He's just taken control of the money and locked out the actual appointed officials. What the fuck.

[rederiswrites]

Nazis are taking over my government, and like, not even just the Nazis we fucking elected! And I'm...making hamburgers? Because somebody has to make dinner? I just feel completely unhinged.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I think that's how random civillians generally feel in these situations. Someone's gotta make dinner.

If you're wondering, there is plenty to be done about it, and plenty being done about it already, even if it's not happening instantly in a way you can perceive.

Is Somebody Doing Something?!

Yes. Let me break it down for you.

In Romanian the verb "a toarce" means both "to purr" and "to spin wool".

The Queens of Innis Lear

Spoiler-free book summary:

retelling of Shakespeare’s King Lear

political adult fantasy

complicated dynamics between three sisters

magic with stars in the sky. blood magic. nature magic. magical island

PoC + bi rep (might be subtle? it’s been a while since I read this)

lyrical writing style, slow-paced but high payoff

morally grey characters but no grimdark vibe

mostly tragedy, some bittersweetness

[book review & illustration video here] This is the first adult fantasy Shakespeare retelling I’ve come across and as a result, The Queens of Innis Lear by Tessa Gratton is a unique reading experience. Heavily inspired by King Lear, it tells the story of three sisters who are all viable heirs for the throne. Their father, the king, can only choose one of them. Tragedy ensues.

At its heart, it’s both a tragedy and a political fantasy. It’s slow-moving but also takes its time to establish its characters, allowing readers to become invested in the characters before complications in the plot and emotional gut punches occur.

FAVORITE BOOKS: The Queens of Innis Lear by Tessa Gratton

The erratic decisions of a prophecy-obsessed king have drained Innis Lear of its wild magic, leaving behind a trail of barren crops and despondent subjects. Enemy nations circle the once-bountiful isle, sensing its growing vulnerability, hungry to control the ideal port for all trade routes. The king’s three daughters—battle-hungry Gaela, master manipulator Reagan, and restrained, starblessed Elia—know the realm’s only chance of resurrection is to crown a new sovereign, proving a strong hand can resurrect magic and defend itself. But their father will not choose an heir until the longest night of the year, when prophecies align and a poison ritual can be enacted. Refusing to leave their future in the hands of blind faith, the daughters of Innis Lear prepare for war—but regardless of who wins the crown, the shores of Innis will weep the blood of a house divided.

The story of our suffering in tents... in light of the Israeli army entering the city of Rafah and danger approaching us

Our lives are in your hands, either survival or death

Even if the war stops... the suffering has not ended, and we will live the worst we have ever lived... because our homes were destroyed by the Israeli occupation.

And if the war stops, we will continue to live in tents.. Therefore, our hope for you is that we will travel, live a new life, and build our lives anew.

Please do not be stingy with your donations. I hope that you will donate generously so that we can reach our goal and travel for all 42 of us from my family.
