Win10 users, today's the day they make all big holes in your PC and all the hackers swarm into them...

...unless you click "no thanks actually" in which case they just actually keep supporting Win10 for another year for some reason. here's how:

James Wallis @jameswallis.bsky.social · 23h

Windows 10 users in the EU and UK, you can get free Extended Security Updates for a year just by:
> Settings > Windows Update > Check for updates. Click.
Scroll down to Enrol in Extended Security Updates (or similar wording).
Click on it.
Follow prompts.
Bingo, you're good for a year.

The Death of DeviantArt and the art-site shaped hole haunting the Internet

Why every new "Art Community" fails. Equal parts eulogy, condemnation, and mourning.

erotica should not come from a soulless machine. erotica should come from your local bookstore or your friends on the internet when they have divine inspiration.

When a trans woman dies of natural causes, at an age greater than 75, having lived more than half her life as herself, that is cause for celebration, not mourning.

Thank you, Miss Major.

few ideas have damaged the average psyche more than ‘the customer is always right.’ it should be a little bit humiliating, being a customer. you should walk into any service transaction knowing that the other person, and not you, is in control over whether you get your treats

moomin gets stereotyped as cozy pseudo-ghibli fantasy, but much like ghibli itself it's something born from hardship, what with it starting publication at the tail end of WW2 by a queer author who kept her bisexuality a secret to the public, and the earliest books being blatant post-war allegories

you have a right to be angry

Drawing of Little My, a small girl in a red dress, sliding down a hill. She is drawn by Tove Jansson from the Moomin series. The text reads: "WHEN you're angry, then you're angry," thought Little My, peeling her potato with her teeth. "Sometimes you have to be angry. Every little creature has the right to get angry."

Reposting these as they are meant to be seen. Stormblood propaganda posters featuring Lyse, Fordola, Yugiri, and Yotsuyu. Everyone has their own sense of freedom.

1st poster is Lyse with her fist raised, the word FIGHT behind her with 3 fists in front of her.
2nd poster is Fordola hands in raised above her breaking the chains binding her with the text Ala Mhigo at the top and Freedom at the bottom.
3rd poster is Yugiri leaping with an ink painting stylized Sui-no-Sato behind her. The white text in the top say: Forget your past. The bottom text say: Choose your own master.
4th poster is Yotsuyu with her hands around her neck as she smirks at the viewer. The text state: Seize your Freedom.

A digital illustration depicting workers gathering salt at the Lochs in front of the city Ala Mhigo from Final Fantasy XIV. The atmosphere is that of a sunset, the water and mounds of salt of the Lochs are tinted red and the city stands tall in a green hue in the background.

Overheard this same kid telling himself "There are people who aren't as fast as you. You have to be patient with them." Further evidence that he's a young hero in training.

Minovsky @minovskyarticle.bsky.social · May 21

There's a kid in my neighborhood who is always running. Yesterday I saw him stop, pull out a tiny bound notebook, open to the center and quickly scan the contents with a look of deep contemplation. He tapped the page with the back of his hand, said "Yes. Become stronger," and broke back into a run

A quick reminder: The Salvation Army is an international organisation and the national branches are not administratively or financially independent. Australian Salvos may be (usually) less overt in, or better at getting away with, the fascism they do, but if you support them then you support US ICE.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

With the holidays upon us, don't give to Salvation Army. Not even change. It's a scumbag "charity" run by anti-gay zealots.

Habitat for Humanity is great. Your local Food Bank is great.

So many "charities" are for-profit scams. Use Charity Navigator to vet them. www.charitynavigator.org

Fascist Dem Tracker @fascistdemtracker.bsky.social · 3d

Fun fact about the Salvation Army: they use a form of substance use treatment called work therapy. Oh, and by treatment, I mean they have people who have been convicted of drug charges work for their stores & warehouses in exchange for room, board, around a $1 a week, and minimal actual therapy.
