not my tweet but I thought it would be a good psa for artists here too
Oh this is a common scam I find at work. Any file that:
isn't jpg, jpeg, pdf, or png
Is a file extension you don't recognise (this one is a visual basic file, used for scripting, but others like exe or bat are used)
has a very low or unexpected file size (this one's is less than 1KB, or 0.001MB, a good reference should be at least 500KB)
Is likely a scam. Stay safe kids.
You are 60% water and every lake, river, pond, swamp, creek, and ocean you encounter wants to reclaim it desperately. Be careful out there.
Good, I hope it haunts everyone about to enter a body of water so bad that they wear a life jacket. 🙌
Every single person I knew (past tense) who has drowned was "a strong swimmer." Water in the wild does not care how good you are at swimming.
I mean this with all due respect:
You are not going to pass a skillcheck against a rip current once it has you.
Waves will not bow to your physical prowess no matter how impressive.
Shock does not care that you used to be on your school swim team.
If you hit your head, being good at swimming isn't going to turn you face-up while you're unconscious.
You may be unable to return to shore. Rescue may be unable to find you quickly.
Scheduling this for when weather starts warming up. Be careful swimming this summer
We are not “conflating” Jews with Israel or Zionism.
The people you are talking about are still Jewish. Being Israeli or Zionist does not negate that,
That the accusations you are leveling at them are still the same accusations Christians and Muslims and Nazis leveled at Jews for centuries to oppress and murder us,
That you routinely dismiss and distort fundamental aspects of Jewish history, identity, and lived experience to meet your rhetorical goals,
That you dismiss the voice of any Jew who points any of this out as deception & manipulation. You portray us as sinister, devious, violent, controlling. Our explanations are treated as propaganda. You conflate members of our tribe with our oppressors.
At what point do you open your eyes and recognize that is unacceptable? That if us being Jewish wasn’t a part of why you are treating us this way, all of this wouldn’t be the case?
The point of the guidance to not conflate Jews with Israel wasn’t “Jews have nothing to do with Israel so anything you say about Israel is automatically not antisemitic”, it was that it’s antisemitic to treat Jews as if they are responsible for the actions of the government of Israel. The point was for you to stop antagonizing Jews.
Yet you have twisted that around as a justification to do exactly that.
As a casus belli against any Jew who dares tell you that blood libel, rootless cosmopolitan tropes, and media control conspiracism are antisemitic regardless of your intended ends.
And for that, you harass us online. You harass us on the street. You besiege our places of worship. You defame us, you assault us, and you deflect blame onto the Jews you don’t like.
When will you grow a conscience?

THE EXTREME ANTI-VOTER SAVE ACT HAS PASSED CONGRESS
Contact your Senators and tell them to OPPOSE the SAVE Act!
The SAVE Act (H.R. 22 / S.128) would require citizens to present documentary proof of citizenship like a birth certificate or passport in person just to register to vote.
69 million women who have taken their spouse’s last name do not have a birth certificate that matches their legal name.
Trans people who change their name to reflect their gender identity may be denied updated passports or birth certificates.
For many disabled people, traveling to an office to register in person is difficult or impossible.
Use the 5 Calls script to tell your members of Congress to oppose the SAVE Act:

hey if this storm ends up being as it looks, you need to take it seriously, particularly if you're in a southern state and not used to storms like this. i'm not a professional but my new england experience for losing power/etc is:
fill your bathtub with water before the power goes out. in an emergency where the pipes freeze, you'll have semi-clean water. you can use this water for your pets, to wash dishes, flush your toilet, and other small important stuff. if you have no bathtub, fill as large a bin/pot/etc as you can find.
air is the best insulator. if you can tape plastic over your windows and major drafts, it will genuinely help. (they have kits for it, but i've used trash bags and duct tape). blankets/tarps/etc also work. leave space between the covering and the window - the layer of air protects you. shove towels under your doors.
in a true emergency, you can ball up newspapers and shove them into your coats/pants/etc between your base layer and your coat. it won't be comfortable but it does insulate a little better.
have an emergency plan for your pets, particularly animals like reptiles that need constant heat to survive.
the weight of the snow and ice will be an issue. plan accordingly.
black ice is a bitch. if it looks "wet", assume it is frozen. actually just assume everything is frozen for a little while.
if you do not have a generator or other emergency power source, DO NOT bring outside-use heat sources (like propane stoves) inside. you can gas yourself and die.
instead, if you truly have no heat source: focus on insulating a small amount of space in your house - a few rooms - and bring as many bodies and supplies in there as possible. do not break insulation if you can avoid it. you are a ~100-degree object. make your safe space into a blanket fort. you may go stircrazy but it is better than freezing.
if you have a fireplace you never use, check the flue and the chimney before the storm holy shit. i am not kidding about this. do not just start a fire willy nilly. you will burn your house down.
relatedly, if you start a fire and notice smoke is billowing back into the house: stop the fire immediately. your flue is closed or your chimney is backed up. you will burn your house down.
keep the fridge closed as long as possible; it lets the air out. but honestly like, my family has used snow as a fridge a lot. stuff that needs to stay cool will be less of an issue than things that need to get warm. plan accordingly.
most canned things can be eaten cold, but check the label. if you have a little sterno fire, it can go a long way.
if you develop a headache and feel weirdly sleepy, you may be forced to open a window. you might have carbon monoxide poisoning.
every year people die while shoveling snow. it is actually not very safe as a chore tbh. you need to go slow and take lots of breaks. you should also 100% wait until the snow has actually passed, only because when it starts shifting and undoes all your work, it will piss you the hell off.
have drinking water somewhere easily accessible. a lot more of it than you think completely necessary tbh.
fill your gas tank. it will help prevent your lines from freezing.
if you have a battery-powered light that's not very strong, put it under a water jug, it'll throw more light. idk why it works but it works.
just because you know how to drive in the snow doesn't mean other people know how to drive in the snow. better to just not.
your device probably has a "low power mode". probably best to just keep it on asap rather than be taken by surprise tbh. the battery will last longer.
great news to fanfiction writers: it really is better if y'all take one bed and huddle together for warmth. do not strip out of your clothes, though, i have no idea who the hell decided that was the smart thing to do. you want to keep at least a layer of leggings and a tight shirt on. the goal is to find the fine line between "warm" and "sweating" - you want to stay as dry as possible for as long as possible.
your hair, eyelashes, and nosehairs can freeze. just from personal experience: try not to rub or touch them, it can snap your hair off and then you'll be very sad.
hypothermia is a lot faster and more evil than most people expect. watch for shivering, confusion, and unexplained exhaustion. if someone stops shivering, that is not always a good sign. if you think you/someone you love has hypothermia, warm them up slowly. often this is through rubbing/friction (or a heat source if available). keep them awake and try to feed them something.
same for frostbite: don't just shove your hands into a fire. warm any affected area slowly. fair warning, as the blood recirculates, it will hurt :(
those blue rubber examination gloves under other gloves can help even very-cold hands stay warm.
liquor is not a good idea to drink right now, sorry beloved. but vodka/rubbing alcohol does work as an excellent de-icer if you need something small done quickly (like a lock/door handle). it's just, like, expensive in comparison to other things lol
"i don't eat that much anyway i'll be fine" that's the devil talking. you will not be. you will also probably be burning way more calories than normal. let the soft animal of your body eat a bunch of delicious snacks.
good luck i love you stay warm out there everyone
Also DRIP YOUR FAUCETS. This helps reduce the risk of your pipes freezing; frozen pipes won't give you any water when you need it but they also can expand and crack or even burst, leading to very very pricey repairs.
It doesn't need to be a lot, a thin steady stream, just enough to get water flow through your pipes. The most at-risk pipes are the ones on the exterior of the house so look for faucets on or near exterior walls. If you're dripping the faucet for your bathroom sink, also drip the shower and/or tub faucet because they can absolutely freeze separately and that sucks a lot.
ALSO ALSO
There might be some absolutely gorgeous trees that are COVERED in a layer of ice like this:
They are beautiful but they are also EXTREMELY dangerous. That ice is much heavier than it looks and these are the trees whose branches are going to break under that weight, potentially falling on roads, homes, cars, and people. Thin or fragile trees can break entirely. If your home has branches like this above any rooms, DO NOT USE THOSE ROOMS IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER OPTIONS. If you are around trees like that, move quickly and listen for any sound of cracking or groaning from the tree; breaks can happen with very little warning.
Donald Trump, let's be clear, is circling the drain. His mind is well and truly going. When they put him in front of a camera, he mumbles and confabulates wildly and forgets the names of his own cabinet and mispronounces words egregiously. Or just falls asleep. Donald Trump is still a clear and present danger, because he's a sadistic, spiteful old man with all the self restraint and sophistication of a spoiled toddler. But we need to be mindful of the fact that not only do we know that he's on his way out, but his donors and puppeteers and handlers know it as well, and they have to be feeling extremely urgent about securing their efforts, but even more so their position and safety. As Steve Bannon said, if they lose the midterms, a lot of them aren't just out of power, they're going to prison.
So yeah. He's sundowning, hard. But that makes this a really dangerous time, and we can't just sit and wait for a good housecleaning at the midterms. We have to get out there and protest and organize and fight and call our reps and support each other in every way we know how. We have to put massive pressure on Congress to stop these insane threats of war. They've made it clear they don't want war; but they need to actually act to make that happen. We have to slow the administration down in every way we can. Because they're running out of time.

Something that I have noticed is I know almost nobody my age that goes to a food pantry. I know people who regularly run out of money for food and in general have to eat an unsuitable diet because that’s what they can afford and they still don’t go to a food bank, im not sure if it’s because they’re embarrassed or maybe if you didn’t grow up going you don’t know much about it but if you’re financially struggling I really recommend it. And look into other options for food assistance too like community fridges and gardens and other programs that can assist you, where I live Salvation Army pays for an allotted amount of grocery delivery for low income people every month, in the summer farmers take excess produce to the library to be taken by anyone who needs it, etc. There are a LOT of resources for free food that you can look into especially if you are literally not eating because of your financial situation
Btw if you have dietary restrictions you can often let them know and in many cases they’ll prioritize certain items for you
Global map of community fridges
Urban Harvest - global foraging maps
Food Not Bombs Global Chapter Locations (mostly vegan!)
USA - Find your local food bank

For fellow federal government employees, those who lose food assistance at the end of the month, and anyone just struggling to get by, here are some resources that can help.
A lot of food pantries, if you tell them, you have a food allergy, will absolutely work with you. I didn’t think about telling them ahead of time, but after Helene when I went to I got a box with several packages of tuna fish (I’m allergic to seafood), so I took the tuna fish packets back so that they could pass them along to someone else who could use them. The woman was very kind and asked me to hang back, then brought me two cans of chicken to replace it. When a friend of mine went two days later to get a box, they had a sign saying that if you had a food allergy, to let them know and they would try to provide a substitute if available. The answers and always “no” if you don’t ask!
If you need food assistance or access to food here are some more food resources:
Database of local food pantries
Free little pantries (like free little libs but for food!)
Food banks, local pantries, and mutual aid resources
Local community fridges
Mutual Aid networks near you
Share widely!
211.org is the United Way's website. They have so many resources! Not just where to get food, but organizations offering financial aid, education support, housing, and more!
Hey, people in the US! Did you know that the Department of Homeland Security is trying to implement mandatory biometrics and fingerprinting for all foreign travelers entering and exiting the US?
And that there’s a public comment period OPEN RIGHT NOW? It only has 18 comments. Let’s get this circulating!! Public comment period ends on 11/26/25. If enacted, it would go into effect 12/26/25.
I hope I don’t need to explain why this is a problem, especially in our current administration. But a few key reasons why this is a very bad idea and sets a very bad precedent:
- privacy and security. HIPPA and other privacy laws exist to protect the unnecessary collection of data so that it’s less likely to be leaked. Is this data going to be stored securely? Who will have access to it? For what purpose? What safeguards will be in place to protect the proper use of this data? Surely there could be no reason to collect personally identifiable information about “foreigners” and “aliens”. Surely this wouldn’t be used for mass deportation efforts.
- the public comment is aimed at “the specific collection process as well as costs and benefits” for the process. So in your comment, the most effective arguments will center around how this system is infeasible to implement, cost prohibitive, and has no benefit. Focus on how the collection process will cost a lot of money, infringe on rights to privacy, etc.

[ ID: photo of David Attenborough sitting on an oceanside cliff, with the quote:
If I die while I have a pet, let my animal see my dead body. Let them see my dead body please. They understand death and seeing me dead will allow them to mourn, but if I just never show up one day they’ll think I abandoned them. I know what it feels like to be abandoned and I never want anyone to feel that way, especially my dog.

No, this is good advice.
Please let my cats know I'm not leaving them because I want to. Please let them understand.
When Alice died, it was supposed to be at home. The doctors were supposed to come and let her go peacefully and without fear. But everything happened so fast, and she died at the vet. No one thought about Thomas (me, included: I was gone by that point, so broken by grief that if I could have died with her, I would have, just from wanting). From his perspective, we had been whisking her off to the vet at least once a week for eight months. And this time we just...never brought her home.
They were bonded, and he was distraught. For months, he kept trying to get into the garage where we kept the cat carriers, so he could find her and make her come inside. For months. His grief was real, and so furiously urgent, and I will forever feel bad for not bringing her body home to help him understand.
Please don't do that to my babies when I go. Let them see me and sniff me and understand that Mother Is Gone.
Completely disable Copilot in Windows 11
You too can get the satisfaction of maiming or killing a spy embedded in your organization.
HELL YEAH DESHITTIFICATION!
For everything we do here, please be sure to be careful with what you edit, and restart your computer to lock things in. If you don't have access to the Group editor, (likely to happen if you're on base windows) you can do this as well by opening your Registry Editor app, then inputting this after your 'computer' or whatever the initial segment is. (Mine is computer. If I just try and paste the below string it gets SO mad at me)
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot
Navigating to your "turnoffwindowscopilot", hit modify, and set the value data to 1.
If done correctly, it'll look like this.
While we're at it, you can also get rid of the integrated search, (or that thing where it searches the web when you search anything, whether or not you want it to) and such through regedit as well.
Integrated search will have you going to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer
Navigate to your "DisableSearchBoxSuggestions" bit, if you don't see it, you can make it by right clicking and creating a new registry D-Word key of that exact name. Edit the key, set it to 1. It'll look like this if you do it right!
To get rid of Windows Spotlight, (The thing where it pulls up ten billion pages on windows start page, shoving ads in your face and cluttering everything) we go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DesktopSpotlight\Settings
And set "Enabled State" To 0. If you do it right, it'll look like this!
Disabling edge on startup will also help a fair deal with processing speed and the like. This you can do in all sorts of ways, the easiest being turning it off entirely on startup through settings in the like.
If you want to kill it *entirely*, though? :)
In regedit, run along to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft
Navigate to your MicrosoftEdge key subcategory. If you don't see it, you can make one! Note, this is a KEY, not a d-word. *inside* that subcategory, we want to either make or find the D-Word key of PreventLaunchEdge and set that to 1 in the same way as all the others. It'll look like this.
Aaaand while we're here, I'd HIGHLY recommend shanking Killer Networking Services. It's just bloatware. (Ostensibly it's supposed to monitor your network bandwidth and even things out, but that really means it's constantly monitoring and pinging things, which eats up the bandwidth you DO get, and also chunks your computer's processing power.) Getting rid of it entirely is borderline impossible, since it's set to redownload on regular updates and intel is very pushy with its updates.
This you can do by opening your Services.msc, which basically shows you all the background stuff that Windows does. Find Anything with Killer in the name, right click it, go to properties, and disable startup. It should look like this, if done successfully. It will probably reenable itself in time/in later updates for windows, but it's a quick fix. I'd also check your TaskScheduler app to make sure that nothing's scheduled to open up there, either.
If you CAN completely kill Killer services through uninstalling and the like, I would warn that at very least for my computer, the only ethernet/lan support applications that are available ARE Killer's. When you download updates, you really do have to do it manually and ONLY download the ethernet services, or just be cool with not having Lan functionality.
One last thing, not a shit application but is a shit service. If your computer's constantly overheating or just warm, you likely have Turboboost enabled. (Default setting that you can't change) If you want to be able to turn it off and drop your temps by like 40 degrees, in Regedit go to
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00\be337238-0d82-4146-a960-4f3749d470c7
(Note- This isn't the string copy paste from the reddit thread, this is mine that does the same thing. If my string doesn't work for you, check the reddit thread string. If that doesn't work either, you can follow the path and find it pretty easily. Probably has like, one letter of difference somewhere. The bits all start the same, though, so it's easy to find.)
and go to "attributes". Set the value from 1 to 2, and now in your advanced Power Plan settings in control panel, you'll be able to *see* turbo boost and turn it off.
It'll look like this, and in power options, a successful disabling of boost should look like this.
Turning off quick startup's also a good call, since that basically stops your restarts from actually shutting things down properly.
GOOD LUCK OUT THERE YALL. MAKE SURE TO CLEAN YOUR PC!

A few years ago while trying to find ways to commit suicide as painlessly as possible, I came across a PDF of Dr. Paul Quinnett's The Forever Decision. Thinking it might go into actual methods of suicide (I read an article once that actually did that and was trying to find it again) I started to read it, and I think I only got about two pages in before I was crying too much to actually see the words.
I downloaded the PDF to my hard drive and I open it again whenever I'm feeling too suicidal to do much else, but not enough to start booking a ride to the hospital. And every time without fail I only go up to a few pages before backing off and choosing to live another day just because suicide suddenly seems even more unbearable than whatever the hell upset me in the first place.
All the book really does is [I'm pulling a summary from GoodReads here as, again, I've read no more than 5 pages] "discusses the social aspects of suicide, the right to die, anger, loneliness, depression, stress, hopelessness, drug and alcohol abuse, the consequences of a suicide attempt, and how to get help."
But it also starts with the author kindly asking the reader to complete the book before going through with anything, and for some reason I'm compelled to really just try to read it all before finalizing everything. Despite not yet completing it (hopefully never will) I think I can safely say it's saved my life at least a few times now.
It's intentionally legal to copy and redistribute this book to keep it as accessible as possible, and it's very easy to find, but here's a link for it anyways.
I found the institute he heads, the QPR Institute, which focuses on suicide prevention, and sent them a note of gratitude and told them the book is being passed around here.
I was answered by the national coordinator, who's passing my comment on to Dr. Quinnett.
So if you saw this post and you're in that place so dark where "does it really matter, though? Nobody even knows I exist" feels like a very true statement:
Somebody does know, actually. He wrote this book, and he's very glad it found its way to you, and he wants you alive. In fact he's dedicated the last 40 years of his life to that goal. He knows you exist because it was important to me to give him the chance to know about you.
So will you do him, and me, a favor, and give it one more day?
I've given it fifteen years so far, and it's gotten a hell of a lot better than I ever imagined it could.
Michigan Porn Ban Bill & What To Do About It
Here is an article about the bill, introduced to the Michigan State House on 9/11/2025, and the text of the bill: CBS Article, Bill PDF
This bill would prohibit:
The depiction of sexual acts in any manner, including written and of fictional characters
The "depiction, description, or simulation, whether real, animated, digitally generated, written, or auditory, that includes a disconnection between biology and gender by an individual of biological sex imitating, depicting, or representing himself or herself to be of the other biological sex by means of a combination of attire, cosmetology, or prosthetics, or as having a reproductive nature contrary to the individual's biological sex." Meaning any representation of Trans people or GNC people.
"The promotion or sale of circumvention tools to access prohibited material" meaning VPNs.
It is extremely important that this bill receives strong pushback from residents of Michigan. Because it is abhorrent in its rhetoric, censorious, and because if it passes (and potentially, even if it doesn't) it is likely that the GOP will attempt to replicate the bill in other state legislatures (if they are not already doing so).
If you live in Michigan, here is what you can do:
Contact your STATE LEGISLATORS. This means your representatives in the Michigan House and Michigan Senate. These are the individuals with direct power over this bill, NOT your representatives to the national House and Senate.
Here is a website that will help you locate your representatives. It will also provide you with their contact information.
It is PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT that you contact your House Representatives if they are Josh Schriver (District 66, covering parts of Oakland, Washington, Addison, Oxford); Joseph Pavlov (District 64, parts of Sarnia and surrounding); Matt Maddock (District 51, incl Highland, Milford and surrounding); James DeSana (District 29, incl Flat Rock, Berlin, the area outside of Monroe); Joseph Fox (District 101, incl parts of Cadillac, Fremont, Big Rapids); Jennifer Wortz (District 35, incl Coldwater, Hillsdale and surrounding). These are the bill's sponsors.
It is also important that if you live in their districts you contact Sarah Lightner (District 45), Brian BeGole (Dist 71), Tyrone Carter (Dist 1), Douglas Wozniak (Dist 59), Mike Harris (Dist 52), Jay DeBoyer (Dist 63), Gina Johnson (Dist 78), Bill Schuette (Dist 95), Kara Hope (Dist 74), Kelly Breen (Dist 21), and Helena Scott (Dist 8), who are the members of the Michigan State House Judiciary Committee, which is where the bill has been referred. The bill must make it out of the committee before it can be voted on on the floor.
It is possible that the Republicans in particular will not listen to you, HOWEVER you can make their lives hell over this bill. You can make this bill and others like it VERY undesirable to sponsor in future by calling, emailing, faxing, and sending physical letters.
Resources for contacting your legislators: 5 calls, ResistBot
It is also likely that the local Democratic Party offices will organize against this bill. You can build coalition with them (or any parties/organizations left of them) and move to defeat the bill. It is likely that LGBTQ organizations will also organize to resist the bill, possibly building coalition with ISPs and VPN providers, whose business would be seriously impacted by the passage of the bill. You may also look out for information from the Attorney General of Michigan's office, as they would be forced to enact the prohibitions.
If you are outside of MI, the most useful thing you can do is probably spread the word, volunteer time with local organizations to help with resistance actions (if they request volunteers from out of state), or donate money to local advocacy networks interested in opposing the bill.
