if anyone’s wondering what this is about, documents were recently leaked showing the government here are monitoring hozier’s social media (and some other public figures’) because of his speaking out against direct provision, a system that was intended to clothe and shelter asylum seekers while their applications were processed but has turned into a sort of purgatory where people can end up for years, stuck in not-great conditions and unable to properly start their lives here in ireland. there’s also a lot of controversy over the spread of covid in direct provision facilties, including a huge outbreak here in bray

This is potentially life saving information everyone should know.

No you guys this post helped me find my cat. He was missing for almost a month and I’ve had him for over 12 years. After seeing this I put his favorite blanket he always slept on outside hoping he would smell mine or his scent and he was back the next fucking day asleep on it.

When my cat got out, we called and called for him, and then, later that night, I remembered similar advice to this, and so put his little scratching pad, which he adores, on the front porch. Not even half an hour later, I heard a thump, opened the door, and there was his big butt, meowing at me.

Important and vital

I don’t care that I reblogged this today I’m reblogging it again

This is an exception to not being related to writing.

I hope this helps somebody

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

Nintendo is literally stalking people they don't like and building dossiers on them.

They literally have a profile on this dude including where he lives, where his family lives, when he leaves his house, etc. This is fucking horrifying. Fuck Nintendo.

Okay but this is legitimately frightening.

Imagine being Mikey Way and getting told you’re not good enough to be in Pencey Prep but then that same guy who said you weren’t good enough to be in his band joins your band and makes out with your brother onstage.

seeing a funny post with under 100 notes and choosing not to reblog only to see it again a few days later with thousands of notes feels bad. feels like I didn't invest in the right shitpost stocks

LPT: Don't throw your junk mail away. Use it to to help the USPS instead!

Next time you get a credit card offer in the mail, or a junk piece of mail that includes a prepaid envelope or postcard, don't throw it away! Send the envelope back with a blank sheet of paper inside, or don't fill the postcard out, but still send it back. The company that sent it to you had to pay the USPS for postage on each one they get back. This is a way to support the USPS by doing very little, and sticking it to the annoying companies that want all of your money.

I asked my mother-in-law, who is a retired Postmaster, about this.

Her reply:

“It’s totally legal.  I’m not sure I’d say I recommend it, but you don’t break any laws doing it.

It works like this:  A company wants to do marketing and it’s proven that more people will respond if they don’t have to put postage in the response card or envelope.  But average response rates are about 2-5%.  Postage on 10,000 pieces adds up to a lot if you’re only going to get 3% back.  So the company agrees to pay the postage on the back.  And it costs because they pay first class rate and surcharge.  I think the rate is around $1.00 per piece now.  But, that’s a lot cheaper than postage on each piece, right?  Fifty cents x 10,000 = $5,000 versus $1 x 3000 = $3,000.  So, I said all that to say, if this practice of returning bogus envelopes and cards becomes widespread, it could potentially drive marketers away from the PO and towards more cyber based programs, which are tremendously cheaper, less labor intensive, and a whole lot easier. “
