Verified: Microsoft 365 gets massive 45% price hike — and it's all to do with AI tools (Tom's Guide - January 17, 2025)
oopsie i tripped and spilled my link to archive dot org's downloadable copy of Microsoft office suite for 2007, which features no AI tools and is a powerful word processor that still holds up just fine on windows 10!
Projects coming up
1. Pokeshipping for natalialeonfonseca 2. Pokeshipping for skylightsparkle 3. Pearlshipping for mezasepkmnmaster 4. Ash Ketchum for myself Hey everyone, I’ve been a bit all over the place with commissions and requests that I’ve forgotten many I’ve told I would draw things for. So here I am trying to pick up where I left off. So far, I think I’m organized for now but if there was anyone that I’m leaving out please shoot me an email!
I won’t be able to get these all finished within a day or consecutive days b/c I still have to go to work. I’ll do my best to keep you informed on the progress. These are in order so that I don’t lose focus on who is next.
For natalialeonfonseca, I had trouble trying to figure out how this needed to come out but I felt this was as good as any! Hope ya like it! :D
Israel’s government passed a law that will concentrate power in the hands of its most extremist, far-right politicians. Israeli protests have been all over the news, but they’re ignoring the main issue: this is about making Israeli apartheid permanent.
So let’s talk about Flex.
I’ve been getting email from them and my apartment complex. Flex is a new payment options where they take your rent and divide it over two to four payments. But of course flex has it own fee.
So essentially Flex pays your rent with a fee and you pay flex back. Sounds good right.
But I did some digging because they are pushing this so hard.
Come to find out, Flex is horrible. It doesn’t tell you how much the fee is until you sign up. Once you sign up it’s damm near impossible to get out of it.
So let’s say you need to split September rent, but in October you are fine. You still have to go thru flex and pay the fee.
Then I found this article. Not only could the lady not get out of flex, she ended up oweing them about 1k in fees.
That article also states that Flex as a business has 1 out of 5 stars on BBB. Their customer service is damm never nonexistent.
But I think we are missing a bigger issue. Apartments are pushing flex because they know people can not afford the rent. And because people can’t afford the rent there are more evictions and loss of payment. So instead of lowering the rent they push flex. They want it to seem like they are helping when they are not.
Most people get evicted and the apartment never get their money. 7 years later it falls off your credit report.
So to keep people in these buildings and to keep a steady income they offer some shit like flex.
It’s predatory and will most likely leave a tenant in worst standing than before.
Please don’t use it.
I also never subscribed to Flex at all. Never been on their site. So my apartment complex had to mass sign us up for these emails. That alone piss me off because I never gave permission.
boosting bc my apartments having been pushing this too

Reblog if you are or know of an adult fan fiction writer
I’m trying to prove a point
Here's a little lesson in the Tumblr algorithm, for those who don't know: the only way for a post to be spread to someone's dash, after it's already been made, is through reblogs. Likes do very little for boosting visibility. Besides adding notes so a post has a higher likelihood of appearing at the top of search results for the tags they're featured in, likes are just caches to show/store posts you've liked. They do not significantly increase the likelihood that the post will be seen by more people. The only way to ensure this is to reblog it to your own blog, so your followers will see it.
Also, this isn't Twitter. I know that on Twitter, it's largely expected for most of your profile to consist of mostly your own tweets, and not too many retweets. Tumblr is extremely different, in that the entire site is made up of shared posts. The site is designed for maybe 5% of the content on your dash to be original content at any given moment, while 95% will be reblogs from others, and that's perfectly acceptable and expected, actually.
This is all to say that, I know a lot of you come from Tik Tok or Twitter, where liking content has a direct, positive effect on the content's visibility. I know that your FYP is dictated by what gets more likes/what the people you follow like, and that Twitter shows posts your following likes on the TL. But Tumblr is extremely different. So please, don't hesitate to reblog shit on this website, especially art/writing. If you liked an artist's work, the best thing you can do for them is reblog it because simply liking it will do very little to boost their post's visibility. This doesn't just apply to art either; if there's a PSA, theory, etc., that you enjoyed and want more people to see, the only way for that to happen is to reblog.
Likes are Bookmarks
Reblogs are Exposure
girls after saying something smart: So yeah
Girls after giving a concise and completely sensible thought on the matter, with well thought out arguments:

It was a Muslim who realized that light ENTERS our eyes, unlike the Greeks who thought we EMITTED rays, and so invented a camera from this discovery.
It was a Muslim who first tried to FLY in 852, even though it is the Wright Brothers who have taken the credit.
It was a Muslim by the name of Jabir ibn Hayyan who was known as the founder of modern Chemistry. He transformed alchemy into chemistry. He invented: distillation, purification, oxidation, evaporation, and filtration. He also discovered sulfuric and nitric acid.
It is a Muslim, by the name of Al-Jazari who is known as the father of robotics.
It was a Muslim who was the architect for Henry V’s castle.
It was a Muslim who invented hollow needles to suck cataracts from eyes, a technique still used today.
It was a Muslim who actually discovered inoculation, not Jenner and Pasteur to treat cowpox. The West just brought it over from Turkey
It was Muslims who contributed much to mathematics like Algebra and Trigonometry, which was imported over to Europe 300 years later to Fibonnaci and the rest.
It was Muslims who discovered that the Earth was round 500 years before Galileo did.
The list goes on………..
Just imagine a world without Muslims. Now I think you probably meant, JUST IMAGINE A WORLD WITHOUT TERRORISTS. And then I would agree, the world would definitely be a better place without those pieces of filth. But to hold a whole group responsible for the actions of a few is ignorant and racist. No one would ever expect Christians or White people to be held responsible for the acts of Timothy McVeigh (Oklahoma bombing) or Anders Breivik (Norway killing), or the gun man that shot Congresswoman Giffords in head, wounded 12 and killed 6 people, and rightly so because they had nothing to do with those incidents! Just like the rest of the 1.5 billion Muslims have nothing to do with this incident!

When Europe was in the dark ages, the Islamic world was having its Golden Age.
op can suck my ass. a lot of my best friends are muslim
THIS IS SO IMPORTANT
Fuck yeah. Muslims literally lead the world in science and philosophy, but Europeans took all the credit
Y u s s s s s s s - - -
Fuck islamophobia
#this is so important#like do you realize muslims internalize this shit#im not one#but there was this movie where a muslim guy himself says that not all muslims are terrorists but all terrorists are muslims#you are literally making them hate themselves for no fault of theirs#a common religion doesn’t equal common interests or common deeds or common thoughts#have you ever stopped to consider that young muslim children grow up hearing this bs and probably think they are inherently bad#they are people goddammit#people who deserve love and respect and compassion#islam is progressive and peaceful for heavens sake#smh (via @darkbicademia)
not a muslim here, but I think the common misconception is that terrorists who claim to be muslim aren’t actually muslim, they’re extremists who use this religion as a shield and thus the fault goes to everyone who’s actually muslim and just trying to live their lives.
a world without muslims would mean a world without my bestfriend
and mf i wouldnt wanna live in that world
Lucasfilm did not fire Gina Carano from The Mandalorian for being Transphobic:
She got fired for being Anti-Semitic.
Her being Transphobic is not at all okay either but,
Anti-Semitism is not talked about enough.
She basically just compared Holocaust victims to being a Republican. Do you realize how fucked up that is?!
I’m Jewish. I really don’t like when someone compares the genocide of 6 million of my people to being a Republican. When was the last time 6 million Republicans were murdered via gas chambers?
People need to know that this was why she got fired. Don’t you dare just like this post!
REBLOG IT
I’m both pro herbal medicine and pro vaccination because you can treat burns with aloe vera juice and sore throats with lavender infused honey but you can’t rid a country of polio with plants.

In May 1939, as the Nazis were tightening their chokehold on Europe, the United States government rejected the SS St. Louis, a German passenger vessel carrying 937 refugees who were trying to dock at the Port of Miami.
Almost all of those refugees were Jews fleeing violence in Germany and Eastern Europe, according to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. The ship was eventually forced to return to Europe, where 254 of its passengers were killed.
On Friday, to commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a pair of Jewish scholars — Russel Neiss and Charlie Schwartz — started tweeting the names of the people who were aboard the SS St. Louis, under the handle @Stl_Manifest. Read more
I actually went to seminar of one of the passengers of the S.S, Louis who survived the holocaust a couple of months ago and something I learned from her was that the whole voyage of the S.S. Louie was a planned sabotage meant to act as Nazi propaganda and a fairly successful one. It’s an incredibly important story so I wish to share it with my followers, especially with everything happening nowadays. Basically as best as i can remember it the story of the S.S, Louie goes like this:
During 1939 as Nazi’s were rising in power and gaining control over Europe, Many German-Jewish families could see the warning signs and tried to find asylum outside of Europe for many the answer came in the form of the S,S, Louie a cruise ship taking refugees that was bound for Cuba. Most everyone who went on this journey had a legal Visa to enter Cuba, what they didn’t know however was that the Nazi regime had been placing their agents closer and closer to the head of the Cuban government. They knew this ship was coming and wanted to make an example of them.
The nazi agents convinced the Cuban government to rescind the visas, so by the time they reached Cuba their Visas were no longer valid and the ship was not allowed to dock on the Cuban shore. The S.S. Louie remained docked for about ten days or so iirc before the captain realized there was no hope and Cuba was not going to take in the refugees as promised. Determined not to return to Germany with the refugees, The captain chose to sail to nearby Florida instead in order to seek asylum in America. However just like with Cuba The United states refused entry into the country, even after a Jewish Association in Paris offered to Pay the united states about $500 per person (again I might be off on the amount but regardless it was a lot of money at the time).
Meanwhile back in Germany, Nazi controlled Newspaper carefully documented the travels of the ship. The gist of most of the articles being: “Look, nobody wants these people, not the cubans not the states. We can’t even pay them to take them. We are doing the world a favor by getting rid of these people” The Captain as well as the people in Paris tried desperately to get the US to take the refugees but unfortunately the US firmly denied them access. Realizing they were running out of supplies the captain had no choice but to turn back to Europe.
Still the Captain refused to return to Nazi occupied territory and instead sailed to England. Where they were able to convince Holland, Great Britain, Belgium and France to take their passangers. Unfortunately Holland and France would later be taken over by the Nazi’s and thus many of these Refugees were murdered.
We as citizens can not allow this to happen again. Between, the Syrians, the lgbt russians and many many others we cannot allow more people to be turned away and sent back to their doom. It is the only way we can honor the memory of those passangers of the S.S. St. Louie.
