If I ever send something to you it was probably an accident. I know nothing about any social media site I am on but i do know they all have ways for me to send someone something without me meaning to while mindlessly scrolling on my phone that I also can't find on purpose.
URGENT: Help with Rent Needed 👉👈
Hey. My family does not have enough to pay rent this month... Because of the way the dates fall we have until Monday, 2-Mar-2026 to raise the funds at least, but it's still scary whenever this happens. (Those of you who follow my main blog know I had an extremely rough month physically and mentally, and some of that meant extra expenses.)
If you can spare anything towards making sure we stay housed, I would really appreciate it.

I live in complete poverty and disability. Trying to make art to sell as prints as I am not getting commissions the way I used to. I am disabled and diabetic, immunocompromised from recent surgery, and I live in a traditional filipino house partially destroyed by storms and termites. I work 3 jobs, but they are all very unstable. Please please please, if you've ever derived joy from my art or insight from my posts or book recs, if you could pick up a print, send a tip, or subscribe to my patreon where I have 400+ exclusive drawings / early access, it would help keep me alive, in the most literal sense. I have been given a second chance at life, and I would like to keep living. Thank you so much

Hello everyone. I am the sole caretaker of my family, the only one who works. I have nerve damage on 1/4th of my face and 80% of my neck that limits movement somewhat. This is due to surgery and was exacerbated by diabetes neuropathy. Would absolutely love help with my maintenance medicine and help care for my mama, who is completely unable to move independently because of a brain injury resulting from sepsis. She has an ECG scheduled tomorrow, and I am hoping for any assistance from anyone who is blessed with a generous heart and disposable income 🥹
Everynyan. Please help me boost this post. Im in desperate need of help as my mother is very sick again. We are trying to find out rn if she has liver failure. Shes doing a bacteria culture lab test and blood tests.. Please keep us in your prayers as well. ♡ I am the only person who works in my family, mom's survival depends on me, & I depend on community.. thank you so much
ooooohhhhh damn
ME5 may not happen after all. Dragon Age would be dead forever.
edit: what the fuck???
The only thing worse than EA having the nerve to nuke Dragon Age the way they did is not having the spine to protect what was salvageable from Mass Effect
Hello everyone, I am making another one of these posts in case anyone would like to buy a print from me, or subscribe to my patreon, or just send in a tip. My whole life has recently been thrown in a loop. The kind of situation where it's like. "it only takes one medical emergency."
I spent my birthday at the hospital. Some of the darkest days of my life. Ti-rads 4 giant goiter that needed to be removed, awake intubation. Blessedly, my biopsy was benign, and I don't remember anything from the surgery. anesthesiologists said my airways almost collapsed. In some medical debt. But I am so happy I am alive. On a battalion of meds. I only just now started being able to move around as normal. I need all the help I can get from community. I had no income the two months I was sick. My mother is unable to move independently. My father has kidney failure, and my sister is pretty much my kid. She is autistic with a very low frustration threshold. I am the only person in my family who works, and I have three jobs, but all of which are unstable. I need to take thyroid h*rm*ne replacement for the rest of my life as maintenance medicine; as all of the funds I received from my gofundme was poured into surgeon fees. I'm penniless with a calcium deficiency, legit nothing to eat with a family of four to take care of ): please help me recover, help me buy calcium supplements and my thyroid maintenance medicine as I am essentially someone with hypothyroidism, and meds to treat my diabetes (sitaglipin and metformin). I only have around 6 days left of medicine before I run out. I am so grateful to still be alive, and I owe it all to you guys, and I am hoping everyone can still be generous to help me rebuild what is my new life as someone disabled with no support system irl. Thank you so so much.

Recall uses AI features "to take images of your active screen every few seconds."
I think every computer user needs to read this because holy fucking shit this is fucking horrible.
So Windows has a new feature incoming called Recall where your computer will first, monitor everything you do with screenshots every couple of seconds and "process that" with an AI.
Hey, errrr, fuck no? This isn't merely because AI is really energy intensive to the point that it causes environmental damage. This is because it's basically surveilling what you are doing on your fucking desktop.
This AI is not going to be on your desktop, like all AI, it's going to be done on another server, "in the cloud" to be precise, so all those data and screenshot? They're going to go off to Microsoft. Microsoft are going to be monitoring what you do on your own computer.
Now of course Microsoft are going to be all "oooh, it's okay, we'll keep your data safe". They won't. Let me just remind you that evidence given over from Facebook has been used to prosecute a mother and daughter for an "illegal abortion", Microsoft will likely do the same.
And before someone goes "durrr, nuthin' to fear, nuthin to hide", let me remind you that you can be doing completely legal and righteous acts and still have the police on your arse. Are you an activist? Don't even need to be a hackivist, you can just be very vocal about something concerning and have the fucking police on your arse. They did this with environmental protesters in the UK. The culture war against transgender people looks likely to be heading in a direction wherein people looking for information on transgender people or help transitioning will be tracked down too. You have plenty to hide from the government, including your opinions and ideas.
Again, look into backing up your shit and switching to Linux Mint or Ubuntu to get away from Microsoft doing this shit.
Steps to Disable or Uninstall 'Recall' in Windows 11 24H2
there are multiple options here depending on how comfortable you are digging into your computer's registry. You can either simply disable it surface level through settings or excise it entirely from the system registry
reblogging again as a cautionary tale to please PLEASE fucking make a system restore point before you do anything. i consider myself tech savvy and still nearly bricked my computer. and make sure you know how to access safe mode
I have the flu. Long covid has always exacerbated symptoms. But I also have a very big deadline at work coming up, like if I don't meet the deadline there will be a high likelihood I will be let go. Am also the sole caretaker of three disabled people with very specific dietary needs (both parents diabetic with kidneys on the verge of failure and a very autistic sister who is very easily frustrated) no longer have any food in our house. Only have 50 usd to last me until inprnt decides to pay me. In desperate need of help (again) as I can't take any more commissions due to how tight the deadline is at my other work and being.. sick. Would mean the entire world if anyone here blessed with a generous heart and disposable income could throw my family a few dollars for some food, rice, potatoes, eggs, anything that can help us survive until I get paid. Sorry, and thank you

Skip Google for Research
As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse. It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms
As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable. As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.
Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.
⁂
Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.
www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.
www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.
https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.
www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.
http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.
www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.
www.pdfdrive.com is the largest website for free download of books in PDF format. Claiming over 225 million names.
www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free
Reminder that libraries are literally foe this purpose. If you go to a public library with a research question you will make their day.
Hey tumblr.
I want to share a post from The Guardian that was published today.
“Inside the building, staffers said that Doge cultivated a culture of fear.
“It’s an extreme version of ‘who do you trust, when and how?’” said Kristina Drye, a speechwriter at the agency, who watched dozens of senior colleagues escorted out of the building by security. “It felt like the Soviet stories that one day someone is beside you and the next day they’re not.”
People started meeting for coffee blocks away because “they didn’t feel safe in the coffee shops here to even talk about what’s going on”, she added.
“I was in the elevator one morning and there was an older lady standing beside me and she had glasses on and I could see tears coming down under her glasses and before she got off her elevator she took her glasses off, wiped her eyes, and walked out,” she said. “Because if they see you crying, they know where you stand.””
Everyone should read this article about “DOGE” tearing apart USAID (and then read more reporting about how they are being allowed to do the same to other US federal entities). Elon Musk and his minions are violating our highest laws and destroying lives and livelihoods in the US and abroad. USAID is less than 1% of the federal budget— this isn’t about cost-cutting or “investigating fraud”. It’s about cruelty and seeing how much unlawful devastation and psychological warfare they can get away with, with the intention to repeat this process at one federal agency after another. They already have access to IT systems at the Treasury, NOAA, and other agencies, and have taken over OPM (essentially HR for the federal government), using the latter to send demeaning and threatening e-mail blasts to civil servants.
I’m urging everyone who reads this to recognize what’s happening here and how abhorrent and frightening it is. I wager that even most people who wanted Trump back didn’t want a centibillionaire technocrat making unilateral decisions on which parts of the federal government to “feed into the wood chipper” (as he has described his team’s actions at USAID in a recent post on X, The Everything App).
Please call your elected representatives and urge them to act against Musk now— before his actions make our legislative branch totally irrelevant.
I’ve been seeing posts about Musk’s coup-in-progress going around on here, but I feel like a lot of people still aren’t aware of the extent of it, and I really want to help get the word out. I’m heartsick for all the civil servants at USAID and beyond. Some of them, their unions, and some Democratic congresspeople and others are speaking out, but these workers need us everyday Americans to speak out for them, too.
Thank you for reading. And anyone who isn’t American, please keep us in your thoughts.
the skrit na are peak animorphs worldbuilding actually.
yes, the grays actually exist.
yes, they actually ride around in flying saucers.
yes, they actually abduct people. cows too.
yes, they actually dissect people and then put them back together and let them go. sometimes they put them in a zoo instead.
none of the other aliens know what their deal is. they have a larval stage where they look like giant cockroaches. one time they somehow obtained the most dangerous weapon in the entire universe and just threw it in their junk drawer next to a mustang convertible and a case of dr pepper. they are directly in the middle of a galactic war and have survived untouched because neither side cares enough about them. i don't think any of the main cast besides ax even know they exist?
every sci-fi series should do this. this is awesome.
My favorite thing about them is that they've also been doing all that for millions of years. They've been spacefaring since before most of the other species you meet even existed, they've been in space at least since the time of the dinosaurs and they've spent all that time doing the same odd shit they've always done. They've never changed. Just fly around the galaxy collecting random junk and abducting people for no discernable reason.
I am a disabled indigenous trans guy from the global south, and I love drawing southeast Asians (and Asians in general), and from my culture ♡ I want to make comics, escape homelessness for good, and just make art! Thank you for helping me and liking my drawings!
I get paid on patreon in two days, you can still subscribe. For only a dollar a month, you will receive access to more than 400+ exclusive art and have made it possible for me to keep drawing, supporting my family, and move one step closer to achieving my dreams of no longer facing housing insecurity.
If you like my art, and want to help me keep making it, please consider subscribing! Thank you so much
creating eerie crests, and other things.
I posted some new art. Please please please have a look ♡
My whole job was twitter. It was where my agent found me, it was where I got my publishing gigs at DC and Macmillan. I got to draw covers for books because of twitter. I managed to escape homelessness because of twitter. And now it's just gone. It's the hub of incels and white supremacists. What happened at the same time was patreon charging subscribers 30% more if they're using the apple app. Would mean the world if you guys can reblog this and help me find subscribers. I haven't recovered from last year at all ♡
Hey guys. Am only 2 subscribers away from recuperating this months loss, maybe anyone here would like to subscribe! It's only a dollar a month, for access to almost 400 exclusive illustrations!
Already seeing people on tiktok saying “I still hate trump but he ate with this one” like … babes … you just got propagandized … that’s literally exactly what he created this situation in the hopes you would say …
Hi, how’s everyone been doing?
Hope you’ve been doing well.
Bye.
She’s never tried goblin cuisine before.
She’s in for a treat.
She’s also never met another goblin. He pretty nice actually. Little rough around the edges but not evil or cruel like her human dad said.
I don’t like the idea of monstrous, always evil fantasy races. Not without reason anyway.
Like they’re born from the idea of cruelty or something.
But even then I’m like “wouldn’t it be interesting if this embodiment of cruelty wanted to be nice and not let how they were born control the trajectory oftheir life or something.”
Trying some digital watercolors. They wash out when I put them on my social medias just like real watercolors.
The end.
Hi, how ya doin?
Long time no see.
Anyway I drew a buff orc woman with a weird polearm.
Buffness that’s useful for both fighting and hugging.
The polearm’s mostly for fighting.
She found it in an old dwarven ruin. It’s weird looking but also it’s pretty indestructible so it’s fine.
She found her belt and knee thing in that same ruin. Those are both pretty indestructible to. So don’t hit her there.
But being an orc she herself is also pretty indestructible so maybe just give up if you get into a fight with her. The only armor she has is decorative.
Also, I didn’t finish Inktober last year.
Sorry about that. I was having stomach issues.
Inktober 20
Pigeon messenger.
It’s not glamorous as being like a raven rider or make you the stuff of legend like being a Falconer but it’s good honest work. Besides, you still get to fly, right? Nothing quite like it.
