So, I fucked up & due to my own idiocy, my rent money has been stolen from my car. I have about half the amount for rent left in sticker sales $ but need the other half by tomorrow night to avoid late fees. If you can, order some stickers or even commission me to help! ko-fi.com/ndkiwi0255/s...

Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.

I don't use AI for anything. I don't use it for brainstorming or idea generation or any of the supposedly fine things it allegedly does. ChatGPT has never spoken to me. Claude doesn't even know my name. Much like cocaine, I t's extremely easy to not do if you don't start.

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."

Saw a post saying "I don't want NSFW accounts to talk about voting, just let me jack off" Buddy, NSFW artists and sex workers are being constantly attacked by a government of nonces trying to distract from their own crimes by pinning the blame on porn. They have the right to speak up about this.

Having lost my home in a fire last year, allow me to tell y'all that every cent truly counts. So glad the kitties are okay but my god, my heart hurts for your family.

GEO Group and CoreCivic kept paying to maintain thousands of idle beds. The Marshall Project called them "zombie prisons." In 2025 the wager paid off: ICE needed capacity fast, and the fastest bed is one that already exists. Link: www.themarshallproject.org/2025/08/29/m...

‘Zombie Prisons’: How ICE Detention Is Raising Troubling Facilities From the Dead

ICE needs more detention space, and it’s faster to open old facilities than to build new ones.

here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?

I really hope that all of the people in my feeds who rail against gen-AI flyer art (and rightfully so) and are also horror fans, don’t fall prey to Ice Cream Man now that the reviews are pointing to its abundance of AI effects. Don’t be a contradiction, speak with your wallets here.

This is misleading. If you say the Rhine’ s “water levels drop to lowest level since 1880,” that implies that the river was this dry in 1880. But 1880 is just when we started keeping records! So what you need to say is: the river is at its lowest level since records began.
