I found a random 50 yen coin in a pair of boots I haven't worn in maybe 15 years. I've never been to Japan. If I disappear for a long time, don't worry! I've just been transported into a mystical world that I have been preordained to save from certain doom.
Wish me luck, ttyl!
You'll either be isekai'd, or you're headed for Gensokyo. Let's hope Yukari doesn't see you as Youkai food and put you in Mugenkan or the Road of Reconciliation.

Where's your Projekt Melody love, huh?
Everyone suddenly remembers their past lives. You’re doing everything you can to lie about who you were before. “just a common life, honestly boring.”- probably the biggest lie of the century.
"So, they finally found it, huh..." Sulphuros is thinking to himself, remembering the life that he had in the late 1990s, where he was locked up in a pitch black cell, being drip-fed nutrients, bound to a bed.
He had spoken to the someone about his true nature, went to go to a public bathroom, felt a sting in his neck, and woke up in hell. He was constantly questioned about his past. First they were polite, "What was it like in the 1300s? How do you remember?" Then, as he refused to answer, they got a tad more forceful. It culminated in the threat that would break him. "We know your family, and now that we have you here, we will track you down, every single time you awaken, and bring you right back here, until you tell us how you remember your past lives." The threat of being tracked down was an empty one, he could hide in his White Workshop, and no one could find him. It was specifically the knowledge that they knew his family that made his blood run cold. So, with a voice cracked and broken from disuse, he choked out, "When people die, they are brought to the River Lethe, and their memories are washed off of them. I have a friendship with Death, and I don't have to wash my memories off." They immediately launched into their next question. "Where is this 'River Lethe'?" "In the realm of the dead, but even I don't know how to get there, I'm always guided there." In the next few days, he's released. His current life's wife, Jenny, embraces him with open arms. "Where have you been!? I've been using all my sources to try and find you, but it's like you dropped off the face of the earth!" "Well, Jen, have I got a story for you to tell..." A few months later, every single press source, from websites to news shows to newspapers are blowing the lid off of the story of a man who was captured and interrogated by an organization called Memory Corporation. They were immediately dissolved, and most were arrested, but a few members escaped. A few generations later, Sulphuros is idling in a restaurant, and suddenly, Seraphina, his wife from his first reincarnation, now a psychopomp training to work with and replace Death, quickly absconds with him into the White Workshop. "Whoa, Sera, what's the deal? Usually you don't do this without good reason!" "There is a good reason. There's something odd with the River. The washed-off memories that flow down it? They're terminating at some unknown source. We don't know what's happeneing to them. Me and Than are trying to figure out what's causing this, but if they somehow return to the souls they used to belong to, under any circumstances, do not reveal that you were the first to remember. There will be consequences from the public, I'm sure." "Okay, Sera. I'll do my best." Another generation. Sulphuros has awakened at 18, as per usual, and he's currently with his friends, who he's chatting up a storm with. Suddenly, their laughter stops, and they grab their heads with incredible agony. "Guys, are-" Then he feels it, similar to his usual awakenings, but he already had his, right? But these memories, these are new to him, they feel... older. He remembers his life as a Roman, his life as a Native American, everything He isn't feeling pain, but he does the same to fit the part. His first friend unclasps his head, and speaks in a shaky voice. "Wait... I was him? Oh god..." The next has a similar panic. "Oh god, what have I done..." At this point, Sulphuros speaks up. "Guys, I have a secret to share with you guys, and you guys alone." He pulls out a glowing white knife from his coat. "Wait, what? Where'd you get that?" "Don't worry about that and just follow me." He slices in thin air, and a door appears. He opens it, and beckons his friends inside. While they're gawking at everything, he pulls out a bone flute, and blows into it. The haunting tone chills his friends to the bone, and Seraphina appears from a black portal. "Sera. I know what is happening to the memories from the River. Someone is reclaiming them, and sending them back to everyone. We've got one last adventure in us, right?"

Smash that mf reblog button if you’re loving and supporting trans lesbians on this day
heck man i love trans lesbians everyday
I just think that 'animals are living intelligent creatures that have feelings and deserve to be respected' and 'when done properly farming is beneficial to both people and animals and there's nothing wrong with raising and killing animals for food, clothing, and other products' are concepts that very much can and should coexist
discovering absolutely shocking things about one of our new kittens
hey do u guys wanna see my cat
okay so update: his sister chispa too
this is the most important addition to a post I’ve ever seen in my life
This. This is one of the signs of trust and love that any cat owner desires above all, and one of the ones that all of them point to when they mean that cats do indeed love and care about their owners. Some cats never get to this point, and that is fine, there are other signs, like curling up on your lap and purring when you're sick or in pain or sad or distressed in some way, or willingly passing someone who's shouting at the top of their lungs at you, just to rub up against your leg, making you feel safe and loved. Cats love and care for their owners, and fuck anyone who says otherwise.
((Sorry for co-opting OP's post, but I love these cats, and they demonstrate something here that some people refuse to see.))

From the first linked source:
"The US government aims to restore sweeping regulations for high-speed internet providers such as AT&T, Comcast and Verizon, reviving “net neutrality” rules for the broadband industry — and an ongoing debate about the internet’s future.
The proposed rules from the Federal Communications Commission will designate internet service — both the wired kind found in homes and businesses as well as mobile data on cellphones — as “essential telecommunications” akin to traditional telephone services, said FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel. The rules would ban internet service providers (ISPs) from blocking or slowing down access to websites and online content.
In addition to the prohibitions on blocking and throttling internet traffic, the draft rules also seek to prevent ISPs from selectively speeding up service to favored websites or to those that agree to pay extra fees, Rosenworcel said, a move designed to prevent the emergence of “fast lanes” on the web that could give some websites a paid advantage over others.
With Tuesday’s proposal, the FCC aims to restore Obama-era regulations that the FCC under Republican leadership rolled back during the Trump administration...
The logic behind the rules
Beyond their immediate impact to internet providers, the draft rules directly help US telecom regulators address a range of consumer issues in the longer run by allowing the FCC to bring its most powerful legal tools to bear, Rosenworcel said. Some of the priorities the FCC could address after the implementation of net neutrality rules include spam robotexts, internet outages, digital privacy and high-speed internet access, said Rosenworcel in a speech at the National Press Club Tuesday to announce the proposal.
Rosenworcel said reclassifying internet service providers as essential telecommunications entities — by regulating them under Title II of the FCC’s congressional charter — would provide the FCC with clearer authority to adopt future rules governing everything from public safety to national security.
Rosenworcel argued, “without reclassification, the FCC has limited authority to incorporate updated cybersecurity standards into our network policies.”
She added that traditional telephone companies currently cannot sell customer data, but those restrictions do not apply to ISPs, which are regulated differently. “Does that really make sense? Do we want our broadband providers selling off where we go and what we do online?”
Regulating internet providers using the most powerful tools at the FCC’s disposal would let the agency crack down harder on spam robotexts, Rosenworcel said, as spammers are “constantly evolving their techniques.”
And the proposed rules could promote the Biden administration’s agenda to blanket the country in fast, affordable broadband, she argued, by granting internet providers the rights to put their equipment on telephone poles.
“As a nation we are committed, post-pandemic, to building broadband for all,” she said. “So keep in mind that when you construct these facilities, utility poles are really important.”
Timeline info
The FCC plans to vote Oct. 19 on whether to advance the draft rules by soliciting public feedback on them — a step that would precede the creation of any final rules."
The latest net neutrality rulemaking reflects one of the most visible efforts of Rosenworcel’s chairwomanship — and one of her first undertakings since the US Senate this month [September 2023] confirmed Anna Gomez as the agency’s fifth commissioner, breaking a years-long 2-2 partisan deadlock at the FCC that had prevented hot-button initiatives from moving forward.
The draft rules also show how a continued lack of federal legislation to establish a nationwide net neutrality standard has led to continued flip-flopping rules for ISPs with every change of political administration, along with a patchwork of state laws seeking to fill the gap.
If approved next month, the FCC draft would be opened for public comment until approximately mid-December, followed by an opportunity for public replies lasting into January. A final set of rules could be voted on in the months following.

Cannot overstate how big this would be. I'll be posting the link when the proposal opens up for public feedback, because we should flood this thing as hard as we can (we've got some giant internet companies to drown out, after all)

Matt Mullenweg, CEO of Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com and other online publishing tools, is offering a glimpse into Tumblr's f
the future looks bleak 🪦☠️
I wish literally any member of staff would break ranks on this shit but I don't think I would gamble with my job in this economy either, no matter how stupid it was
I think we should bring back drawing-and-quartering as a punishment but only for idiot tech CEOs who think algorithms and "AI" are the future
Come on Tumblr, don’t be fucking cowards
Alternatively - come on nameless intern #102, you have a chance to be the fucking funniest person on staff.
cowards
Time for manual blazing, tumblr can be a coward but they can't stop us.

Reblog this version. The response of the real doctor is very important as well as the keymash.
yo Canadians!
Do you think the price of shit is too damn expensive? Do you think that disabled people should get better help with the cost of living?
Behold: This petition
This petition is calling for a CERB-type payment for disabled people ("DERB") to help them bridge the gap while the govt works on creating a better disability assistance system - currently planned for 2025 (but it has been delayed before, so we shall see...)
Disability income ranges greatly from province to province, but it's always WELL below the poverty line. The way things are, disability payments are so pathetic that none are sufficient enough to cover even the cost of rent. This year, barely any are sufficient enough to cover even HALF the rent... so, roommates? Not a solution anymore.
Where I live, the assistance my partner got was $850 a month in 2017. This year, had they still been on it, they would have gotten $950.
The average rent here in 2017 - $900/mo
The average rent here in 2023 - $1800/mo
It's rough out there.
Anyway, thanks for reading this, here's a pic of my cat Bean :) Hreef.
Non-Canadians feel free to reblog for traction.
