I’m up against it again, and could really use some help. I need to get our power bill paid in two days, and we’re already a little short on this month’s rent payment. Literally anything helps. ❤️ PayPal.me/MaeGodHaveMercy Cash.app/$MaeGodHaveMercy Venmo.com/u/MaeGodHaveMercy

And for the really bad news? They've put a target on VPNs. Sites are required to identify (and age-verify) any US citizen, regardless of whether they're using a VPN. In fact, the default is to get the ID and biometrics of EVERYONE unless you can somehow prove their not a US citizen.

"VPNs are a privacy and security tool used by millions of internet users every day, and their use should not be treated as suspect. It is particularly galling that the SCREEN Act forces users who intentionally take steps to protect their privacy to identify themselves."

mmmm yes.... obtaining a new and cute little notebook will cure me of my mental illness and turn me into a shark eyed type a productivity megafucker... the last several cute new notebooks didn't, but this one will be different, surely.

$272 / $1,670 - thank you for your help so far!

I feel like I need to come clean about something, and I hope people wont' judge me too harshly: When my dog does a stretch, I don't say "big stretch!" I say "streeeeeeetch!" elongating it as she elongates herself. I hope that despite our differences, we can still find togetherness as a community.

I called WHYY in Philadelphia. The person I spoke to agreed that it was damaging and not in line with WHYY's mission, and logged my complaint. The Philly number is 215-351-0511 if you're in the area.

I called WNET in NY to ask them to remove this video. I told them it was damaging to kids. You can call them, too! Call 212-560-1313 and press 2 to leave a message (the phone prompt seems to indicate 1, but that message directs you to 2). ny.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/ruf...

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

unseal your cards, unseal your comics, take things out of the fucking box. it's all just cardboard and plastic. fuck the resale market

K-pop star Momo is under fire after breaking open a vintage graded Pokémon card to stick it on her face and keep it in her phone case

Me screaming this at anime bros from the top of my lungs. 💀 I beg ya to drill into your head that the recent “out of left field” shounen writing that is impossible to follow and can’t stick to a storyline start to finish even if it’s life depended on it is indeed NOT peak. It’s bad!!

if I ever taught film criticism lesson one would be “you being smarter than the movie is not interesting to anyone”

"creators have too much inertia to leave the platform" WATCH ME. you have no concept of the depths of hate I have in my heart for gen AI.

Please use this link twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92338... and tell twitch how fucking insane this is. Comment and let twitch know that this is horrible. Thank you

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

LIBERALS: Why do you people always say we have to destroy capitalism, all we have to do is elect enough Democrats and they’ll reform it into something that works for everybody COMMUNISTS: A company that got rich making shackles for slaves is still in business making restraints for migrant workers

Lemme tell you about the angel of history being blown backwards into the future: The shackles these people have been put in are Hiatt brand, same company founded in 1780 to mass produce shackles for slaver ships.

Any of you using the ios version of Patreon to support me, switch to the browser version instead, cuz the apple fees have actually taken over 3000 usd from me in the course of a year

doc@docseuss.bsky.social · 6mo ago

I'm begging you not to use apple products. This shit is devastating to creators like me

god the struggle of cis people who can’t give up a daily word game and a children’s book series. no trans person can imagine this immense burden. the poor, poor, poor little treasures.

may@maysuser.name · 6d ago

the real victims of the new york times' targeted campaign against trans people are cis people who like to play wordle

any response to transphobia that falls short of open hostility is support, as has been the case in the defense of the most politically vulnerable population at any other point in history. politeless and decorum are dark alleys where disenfranchised people are hurt and killed out of your sight
