I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.

Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.

In the wake of the TikTok ban and revival as a mouthpiece for fascist propaganda, as well as the downfall of Twitter and Facebook/Facebook-owned platforms to the same evils, I think now is a better time than ever to say LEARN HTML!!! FREE YOURSELVES FROM THE SHACKLES OF MAJOR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AND EMBRACE THE INDIE WEB!!!

You can host a website on Neocities for free as long as it's under 1GB (which is a LOT more than it sounds like let me tell you) but if that's not enough you can get 50GB of space (and a variety of other perks) for only $5 a month.

Neocities
neocities.org
Create and surf awesome websites for free.

And if you can't/don't want to pay for the extra space, sites like File Garden and Catbox let you host files for free that you can easily link into NeoCities pages (I do this to host videos on mine!) (It also lets you share files NeoCities wouldn't let you upload for free anyways, this is how I upload the .zip files for my 3DS themes on my site.)

Struggling to find independent web pages that cater to your interests via major search engines? I've got you covered.

Maybe you wanna log off the modern internet landscape altogether and step back into the pre-social media web altogether, well, Protoweb lets you do just that. It's a proxy service for older browsers (or really just any browser that supports HTTP, but that's mostly old browsers now anyways) that lets you visit restored snapshots of vintage websites.

With ProtoWeb, you can browse the web like it's 1995!

Protoweb has a lot of Geocities content archived, but if you're interested in that you can find even more old Geocities sites over on the Geocities Gallery

And really this is just general tip-of-the-iceberg stuff. If you dig a little deeper you can find loads more interesting stuff out there. The internet doesn't have to be a miserable place full of nothing but doomposting and targeted ads. The first step to making it less miserable is for YOU, yes YOU, to quit spending all your time on it looking at the handful of miserable websites big tech wants you to spend all your time on.

Guys please talk about Palestinian prisoners’ day. It feels like everyone has gone full mask off and just stopped bringing attention to this entirely - but a lot of detainees you advocated for one year ago are still detained today. Still facing the same conditions of squalor & torture & being indefinitely separated from their loved ones. The stats on Palestinian detainees are still as bad as they’ve ever been. Please talk about it

🚨Take a moment to imagine your child or loved one. What would you do for them? How far would you go to protect them and shield them from pain, loss and despair🚨

I am Marwa, a mother of three girls, Belasan, Joan and Nada, ages 7 to 14. 🔊🔉🔈I will take a moment to share my story.📢📣

My children and I lived under bombardment and aggression. We had a safe home full of dreams and a bright future for my daughters.

🚨Take A Moment To Imagine Your Child Or Loved One. What Would You Do For Them? How Far Would You Go

But everything changed when the war on Gaza began. Our house, which we built with strength and effort before the war, was destroyed.

🚨Take A Moment To Imagine Your Child Or Loved One. What Would You Do For Them? How Far Would You Go

We lost our job, which was our only source of income. The journey of displacement and moving from one place to another began without the minimum necessities of life. We faced difficulties in providing healthy food and clean water. We lived in fear and terror. My daughters could no longer sleep from the intensity of fear.

My mother-in-law suffers from serious lung infections and chronic diseases, and we find it difficult to provide appropriate treatment for her, especially in the winter and the bitter cold. She is part of our family after losing her husband. We are now without shelter, moving from one place to another, and struggling to survive. Today we have no income, no life, and no work. We are determined to rebuild our dreams, secure our future, and rebuild our home. We cannot do this alone and we need your help in building our lives. Your support, no matter how small, can make a big difference. Thank you for helping us find hope on our journey.

A New National Day Of Protest Is Set To Sweep Across All 50 States On Saturday, April 5, With Demonstrations

A new national day of protest is set to sweep across all 50 states on Saturday, April 5, with demonstrations organized under the banner "Hands Off" targeting threats to democracy, bodily autonomy, and climate justice. Organizers say the protests are a direct response to figures like President Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk, accusing them of undermining key democratic principles and freedoms.

"Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They’re grabbing everything they can, and it’s up to us to push back. On April 5th, we’ll take to the streets with a clear message: Hands off!" ~ ThirdAct.org

A map published by the event's website, HandsOff2025.com, shows protests stretching from Anchorage, Alaska, to Miami, Florida. Some of the largest gatherings are expected in cities like Washington, D.C., San Francisco, and Philadelphia, while smaller events are planned for college campuses and public squares nationwide.

"Across the country, grassroots activists, workers, community leaders and everyday people are coming together to say that it's time for billionaires and extreme lawmakers to take their hands off our healthcare, our wages, our safety, and our rights," the spokesperson said. "Trump and his billionaire allies are openly planning a power grab to roll back our rights, strip workers of protections, and dismantle the foundations of democracy in service of tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations. The stakes couldn't be higher."

We all considered Khaled to be like an older brother to Ahmad. He was close to all of us, but he held a special place in Maryam’s heart she loved him dearly, and he loved her just as much.

A two-panel comic shows Maryam and her emotional connection to someone named Khaled.

Panel 1: Maryam, a curly-haired girl in a pink dress, holds a piece of paper close to her chest and walks with a thoughtful expression. A shadowy adult figure watches her. The text reads: "We all considered Khaled like an older brother to Ahmad. He was close to all of us… but he held a special place in Maryam’s heart."

Panel 2: Maryam smiles gently while holding up a drawing of a happy person in a purple shirt surrounded by stars. The background shows a street with damaged buildings. The caption says: "On the morning of April 3rd, she asked if she could visit Khaled…"

Exactly one month ago and on the morning of April 3rd, Maryam asked my father if she could go visit Khaled. She missed him and wanted to play with the children her age in his neighborhood.He agreed. She went on her way, and not even a few minutes had passed before a missile struck the area she had just headed to.

Comic-style explosion in a city street with a massive fireball and the word 'Boooom' written in large letters. The buildings are crumbling, and a silhouetted figure walks away from the blast. Caption reads: 'And then... a missile struck the area she had just walked toward.'

In that moment, nothing else mattered to us but one question screaming in our mind : “Where’s Maryam? Is she okay?”

My father says..

I ran as fast as I could toward the site of the strike, my heart pounding in fear and panic.

A comic-style illustration of a disaster scene shows a crumbling, smoke-filled building with broken windows and debris scattered around. Three men are running through the rubble. My father in the foreground has a fearful expression and is clutching his chest as he runs. Behind him, one man carries an unconscious child, and another carries a young girl. A caption reads: “I ran, heart pounding... terrified of what I’d find.”
My father is holding his head in panic, with a speech bubble that says, 'Where’s Maryam? IS She OKAY?' The background is blurred, emphasizing his emotional reaction."

When I arrived, I was shocked by the scene. Dozens of men were rushing around, carrying injured children. All of them every single one had blood covering their faces and severe injuries. I began shouting at the top of my lungs, “Maryam! Maryam! MARYAM!” until I saw her...

My father runs through rubble calling out “Maryam!” In a speech bubble. Maryam, with her curly hair, wearing a pink dress, sits on the ground in fear, surrounded by debris. The background shows the aftermath of destruction with broken structures and scattered stones.
Dad holds Maryam in a pink dress in his arms. Maryam appears shaken but safe. My brother Ahmed stands nearby, looking relieved. A caption in a pink box reads, “Thank God… she was safe.” The background is a clear blue gradient, symbolizing calm after a crisis.

But my heart still wasn’t at peace. I couldn’t leave. I ran again this time toward the place I feared Khaled might have been.

My father, with short gray hair, wearing a wrinkled white button-up shirt and blue pants, walks through a scene of destruction filled with rubble and broken walls. His expression is serious and determined. Dark smoke rises in the background from collapsed buildings. Text in the image reads: “But my heart still wasn’t at peace… I had to know.”

With every step closer, my dread grew. “No... it can’t be him...” But when I arrived, I found Khaled’s house two stories high destroyed.

A destroyed house lies in rubble with shattered concrete, splintered wood, and twisted metal. A broken doorway frame stands precariously among the debris. The text reads: “Khaled’s house was gone.” On the right side, against a black background, white boxes contain the text: “After a long struggle… we found him.” and “But it was too late.

Khaled was there. After a long struggle, we managed to pull him from the rubble... but it was too late. Khaled had passed away.

A somber scene shows a single red flower growing among ruins at sunset. Two petals have fallen to the ground. In the background, broken structures and debris are silhouetted against the fading sky. The captions read, "Khaled is gone... and the world no longer feels the same."
A comic-style illustration shows two men, my father and Khaled, separated by a jagged, wavy border. On the left, and my father stands in shadow, looking heartbroken. The background is dark green. He says, "Why Khaled? He was full of life." Text boxes around him read, "Kind," "Strong," and "I called him "the mountain.'" On the right, Khaled appears in a brighter, pink background, smiling and waving. The contrast in lighting and expressions conveys a sense of mourning and remembrance.

Khaled is gone... and the world no longer feels the same. The earth is emptier now without Khaled.

No one is left. We are all going to die. They killed his parents, his wife, his children, his siblings... (and they will kill him). This is the reality of every Palestinian. Time is up. Protest. Say no to racism. Don't just watch — you can make a difference. To the world: You are not powerless.

To Tumblr users, to the trans community, to designers — all of you: Take to the streets and protest. Boycott companies supporting the aggression. Share the truth; do not stay silent.

Donate to trusted organizations that support the Palestinian people. Stand for justice and humanity.

You are watching, and someone else is watching at the same time. Join us.

What isn't happening in Gaza right now?

23rd of Ramadan.

We were hoping to enjoy some safety… But we didn't even get to enjoy a little safety before the war, which never really ended, was renewed.

It was renewed after two months of "rest" that was nothing more than a pause in the bloodshed. It was renewed after two months of "rest" during which the crossings were not opened and the siege continued. It was renewed after two months of "rest" during which they took what they wanted from Gaza and then resumed the bombing and destruction. Yesterday, they besieged more than 50,000 displaced people in the west of Rafah, abusing them and carrying out massacres.

The children who were waiting for Eid… were martyred. The sound of bombing, displacement, and homelessness never leaves us.

Gaza itself is tired… tired… tired. So what about its people and its families?

We are tired of the bombing, the destruction, the displacement. We haven't even recovered from the last displacement, and now we have to leave our homes again, which we haven't even had time to rebuild? Are they going to destroy them again after the hope we had? We are tired of greedy merchants, tired of the lack of food. Imagine that in the month of Ramadan, I fast from food for 12 hours, and my main meal is hummus or sometimes rice.

We are very tired… And we need you so much in a way I've never felt before in my life. We need you more than at the beginning of the war because the war has returned even stronger than before!! Support at gofundme Link

Help Walaa and Her Newborn Escape the Crisis in Gaza

Give a mother the chance to save her baby and rebuild a life of hope.

My name is Walaa, and I’m reaching out in desperation to save my

family’s future.

I am a psychologist from Gaza. Before the war, I had a fulfilling

career helping others heal. I hold a master’s degree in psychology,

and I was proud of the life I was building. But everything changed

when the war began.

In a matter of days, I lost it all my job, my home, my savings, and my

sense of security. My husband and I have been displaced multiple

times, struggling to survive in unbearable conditions. We welcomed

our miracle baby born through IVF just one week before the war

started. She is now severely malnourished because we cannot

access proper food or care. Each day I look at her tiny, fragile body

and pray I won’t lose her.

I am not just asking for help I am pleading for the life of my child.

The war has taken everything from us, and we are left with no

resources, no income, and no stability. We need urgent support to

survive and escape to safety.

Your donation will directly help us:

• Secure safe and stable shelter for my family

• Buy emergency food, clean water, baby formula, and

hygiene supplies

• Pay for immediate medical treatment and nutrition

for my baby

• Cover the costs of traveling to a safer location where

we can rebuild

This campaign is not just about survival it’s about hope.

Hope that my baby will grow up in peace.

Hope that I can return to helping others.

Hope that war won’t define our story.

Please, if you’re reading this, take a moment to stand with us. Even

a small donation can make an enormous difference in our lives.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Your compassion means

more than words can express.

With all my gratitude,

Walaa
