We do this on bsky too~! But it's also really tempting to try a dedicated rp ap.

But also a part of me is like.... "Do I have the current energy to social media style rp in two different places."

Your regular reminder that most people should leave their phone at home when you protest. Not in the car, not turn it off when you arrive. At home on the charger so it's pinging the tower as if you hadn't left the house.

They'll track you based on your phone being near phones of other protesters.

ACLU @aclu.org · 1d

ICE has bought access to an “all-in-one” surveillance tool that gives it updated location data from hundreds of millions of phones, putting us all at risk of being tracked.

The government can’t be allowed to surveil us simply for having a cell phone.

ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day

Documents show that ICE has gone back on its decision to not use location data remotely harvested from peoples' phones. The database is updated every day with billions of pieces of location data.

The only method I know of is cussing out a curse and calling it a worthless bitch, but it only ever really seemed to be effective when actually standing in the same room. orz

i don't believe in cringe or in putting oneself down, but i do believe that social shame is a useful tool for keeping racists, sexists, transphobes and AI-felating crytofash chuds out of spaces where they don't belong (which is to say, all of them), so yes, bully the AI gposers off of socmed

Took nearly a week to confirm since it qas at my parents, but he is totally playing a 4/4 full sized bass with a bad grip with a german bow.

How do I know?

Estinien holding the bow wrong is my favorite thing. I know it probably wasn't intentional, but it means everything to me.

Also semi-unrelated, looking at your sock and seeing it labeled 'sock' was like a bonus easter egg of silly.

House Dzemael incredibly absent in game? FINE. I'll make my OWN npc's then! And build Dzemael lore from the crumbs they give us and make my OWN House Dzemael! With blackjack! And hookers!

hey, sorry to be annoying but I was given a ten day payment notice or face eviction. I live alone with my cat and don't have anyone to fall back on; family would sooner see me homeless than move back in so I'm leaving my kofi here :/ I'm definitely not expecting this amount but anything is helpful

I have nothing nice to say about wowhead.

Blizzard explicitly asked them to stop data mining and taking things/spoilers out of context, as it was causing a lot of problems.

Wowhead's response was essentially a "lol no :) If you make it harder to datamine we'll just dig harder."

Not enough of us are laughing that Y'shtola's father gifted her sibling Heavensward.

Do you think the writer/translator had to fight every urge to not make a... "And it comes with a free trial" joke, because I 100% would have been STRUGGLING TO NOT DO IT.

It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.

Aliette de Bodard @aliettedebodard.com · 3d

It turns out building habits and stuff actually requires not being in survival mode, who knew?!
(Yeah yeah I did)
