I Used To Come On Internet To Connect With People When I Couldn't In Real Life. It Was So Easy To Make

Universities are deleting their accounts and leaving Musk's platform! I hope it means twitter will officially die and he'll see financial repercussions (the only thing that probably matters to him)

downloading a fic when ao3 dies (when you have the link)

looks like ao3 is down again and i was in the middle of a multi chapter fic when it died on me.

and if that happens to you, this is what you can do to download the fic:

copy paste https://download.archiveofourown.org/downloads/00000000/fic.html in your browser url

replace the pink bit with the number right after /works (that's the work id)

for instance, in https://archiveofourown.org/works/44970790/chapters/113154673 the highlighted bit (44970790) would be the number you swap for the 0s

the download link will look like https://download.archiveofourown.org/downloads/44970790/fic.html

if you want the fic to be downloaded as an epub instead, use .epub at the end of that link

it should start downloading on your device

i'm sure a bunch of people know this and use it but in case you don't, hope this helps

I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

I did not care much for Van Gogh because it was on every merch when I was a kid and it was a bit tacky. But I want to the Van Gogh museum when I was in Amsterdam, out of pure curiosity, totally expecting to be underwhelmed, and I still don't have the words to express how beautiful these paintings were 🥺

some hyper famous artists like Van Gogh transcend overratedness and become underrated because they're so normalized. Like I'll look at a van Gogh and I'm like wait this really is amazing you guys don't get it

Racism 101.

Best candidate is not a quota. Top positions are not 'whites only'.

TLDR: capitalism is failing, racism is rising.

Window appreciation post

I remember when I was in middle school, I read a novel about a woman who was a bit fat, a bit neurodivergent and was disliked by her mother. As an adult, she lived completely alone. She was a fan of the Beatles. And I think the subtext was that she was raped when younger and was no longer this virgin she thought herself to be. And for the life of me, I can't remember the title or the author, even though I've wanted to finish this book for the longest time. (I had to take it back to the library)

Elon Musk's and X's Role in 2024 Election Interference

The confessions of a concerned bird.

It’s my hope that Tumblr is still a safe space from political interference when it comes to allowing the users to interact without fear that bots we interact with are sharing misinformation.
