I study graphic design and my tutor recommended and used this in his classes at art college last year, it’s so good it has SO many features for free, I really recommend it, even if you’re just trying to learn the basics of PS, such a wonderful thing <3
I cannot believe there's absolutely no way to watch free shows and movies anymore, there are too many paid streaming platforms and pirating websites have viruses and ads preventing you from watching it uninterrupted((.)) id rather follow the rules and purchase media moving forward because it is too inconvenient. Seriously, free and no ads or viruses with 1080p streaming is DEAD.
Exactly! It's freaking annoying when I want to watch movies but I would have to subscribe to like 24 different services . Just to watch the shows that I like.
library genesis is still up (very similar site) and r/freemediaheckyeah and r/piracy have lots of other alternatives. zlib was the GOAT though. fuck tiktok

if none of the links work if you just search up "(book title) read online free" there's almost always gonna be a pdf link and those are always good to read from too
This is even more important with the internet archive losing the lawsuit and being forced to remove so many books. Consider donating to the Internet Archive.
If anybody is interested in Chinese folklore, here you go!
Have all the old scans I have of stories from my chinese literature, folklore, and popular culture class.
It's free university lol. Unfortunately a lot of it we read straight from the main book we had (Ma and Lau, ed. Traditional Chinese Stories: Themes and Variations), which had a lot of interesting things in it (like the whole genre of snake women and related stories that are mentioned in the final PDF, but which I unfortunately have no stories for), and it is now in storage, nowhere near me, and I therefore cannot scan any of it (Actually, it's possible i even left it behind when i was getting rid of things to move? /: idk. Guess I'll find out at some point). If you're interested in more Chinese folklore and can get your hands on a copy, though, I suggest it; your local library might have it! But anyway, what I can give you is these PDFs!
Gonna split this into 2 sections for clarity (and turns out I'm gonna have to do the second part in a reblog because of the link limit. Sigh. May as well section off the first part too)

Here's uBlock Origin's official guide to bypassing youtube's anti-adblock popups, updated weekly. Please share widely. Don't reward google for their predatory anti-consumer bullshit
To summarize: 1. Get uBlock Origin and make sure it's updated to the latest version. 2. Click on the gear icon to get to the dashboard, go to "Filter lists", and make sure that "uBlock filters - Quick fixes" is up to date
Repeat those steps any time you get another popup (google and uBlock are having an arms race right now so it might stop working at any moment), and if you have any more problems, read the reddit thread for troubleshooting advice
I was walking through the toy aisle at Target when I found this thing and had a VIOLENT AND IMMEDIATE FLASHBACK to when JP first came out and they had a bunch of REALLY COOL T Rex toys that I would have sold one of my scrawny small-child limbs for but my mother wouldn’t get me one because they were “too violent and also ate people” :(
on closer inspection, it makes a lot of really obnoxious noises and is also Too Expensive. BUT FEAR NOT I found this slightly smaller dude wedged in the back!
IT HAS BITE ACTION, AND THAT’S THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS
update update: I re-sized her collar and found a bag of toy bones at the craft store. I haven’t put this much effort into a non-school thing since my last job search, help
It bugs me when people are unnecessarily mean. Like, you didn’t have to make that comment. You could have just kept your mouth shut and left that person not feeling bad about themselves. What do you gain from making someone else feel like shit? Nothing of substance. Maybe a fleeting moment of power but that’s gone as soon as it comes so why? There’s enough unhappiness in the world without you adding to it.
