September is Crow Month masterpost

What do we do for Crow Month? Host or attend a Crow Party, either a private one with your friends or an open one in a public place like a park or a library event room.

What is a Crow Party? It's time for everyone in attendance to wear black- the fancier the outfit the better, but casual is ok too- and to deck themselves out in silly amounts of shiny things and jewelry.

What do you do at a Crow Party? Bring little treasures like neat rocks, beads, marbles, or any other sort of shiny object, to swap and trade! Also play board games, card games, or just bring a book to read and vibe with your fellow Crow Party people.

How can I tell people about my open Crow Party? I've made a pdf flier, you can download it from google docs here or dropbox here. Print out and post wherever you think people will notice it!

Spread the word!

Important! Your pet's RFID chip number might have been disconnected this week.

Microchip company ceases operations, pet owners urged to re-register

The Texas-based company, Save This Life, has ceased operations and that could become an issue for pet owners.

Is your pet chipped? They should be. Do you know who made the chip?

Pet RFID chips are so small that there's really only room on them for a serial number. When your lost pet is brought to a shelter or a vet's office, they can scan the chip, read that number, and then type it into a program that draws from a series of linked databases to find your name and phone number. That's how they find you, and tell you that Silly Lilly von Wigglesbottom has gone wandering, and she's safe and sound, and would you come get her, please?

Texas-based Save This Life, which provided chips to vets and shelters all across the US, has all at once and abruptly gone dark; their database is just gone. Their customers were not given warning and so did not know to change their registration to another company. A lot of animals have basically become anonymous now.

If you don't know what company you've been using, call your vet's office and ask what pet chip number they have on file. If the chip number starts with 991 or 900164, it's probably a Save This Life chip.

If it turns out yours is one of the affected cases, the chip itself will still be fine! There's no need to add another, or anything like that. You'll just need to transfer the number to another company, and your vet should be able to recommend the one that they like the best.

After 40 years of being free Microsoft has added a paywall to Notepad

If you want full access to Notepad, Microsoft now requires users to pay, with the new changes to 40-year-old software adopting the 'freemium

[waynekiller]

here's libreoffice, its similar enough to the microsoft suite to be useful to me.

its a free open source software. i downloaded this as soon as the AI shit rolled around and i stopped using MS suite & google docs because i was fucking tired of everything being online, but now if MS is gonna start charging for shit that should be free, only the more reason to use other programs. i know microsoft can be a little hard to escape but this is at least a start

Fascism Expert Timothy Snyder Says Trump's Oligarchical Coup Is Fading

Professor Timothy Snyder posted that people are waking up and Trump's attempted oligarchical coup is fading.

If you have read about fascism and tyranny or watched cable news, you have probably seen Professor Timothy Snyder, who has been warning about Trump and tyranny for a few years now.

Snyder’s book On Tyranny is one of the go-to modern works for people who want to understand tyranny and how to fight it, so what Professor Snyder posted on his X account on Saturday merits attention.

Snyder posted:

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. Nervous Musk, Trump, Vance have all been outclassed in public arguments these last few days. Government failure, stock market crash, and dictatorial alliances are not popular. People are starting to realize that there is no truth here beyond the desire for personal wealth and power.

Professor Snyder’s perception is backed up by a mountain of polling that shows the country turning against Donald Trump in increasing numbers. If polling isn’t convincing, consider the large and growing number of almost daily protests directed at what Trump and Musk are doing.

There are also results. When the public gets angry and speaks out, the Trump administration has caved.

Actual fascists don’t allow their opposition to speak out. A real authoritarian doesn’t cave. When pressure is applied to the Trump administration, it breaks. The reason why it breaks is successful authoritarian movements have a majority of the population behind them.

Trump’s support is sinking like a stone.

None of this means that the country is out of the woods yet. As Professor Snyder wrote, Trump and his billionaires are going to try and try again, which means that it is going to take constant resistance from the American people to defeat them.

Things will get much easier for pro-democracy Americans if Democrats win control of the House in special elections this year or next year's midterm election.

Until then, it will be a grassroots battle.

The good news is that Trump is losing, and so far, Americans are fighting for their democracy.

More of my emails should start “hello pervert.”

[cityofacorns]

Okay, I need to break off here.

This happened to me a month ago and it's terrifying because the email comes from them spoofing your emails.

It's also antisemetic and plays into it at one point. (It claims the spyware used was developed by Israel). No, the "hackers" bought your information from databank lists.

Also it claims to know you're porn history and will use it to ruin your life unless you pay them. With anti-porn laws coming into place, this will get worse.

Please talk about this scam and help people stay safe. It's pretty new.
