Why would you hide that in the notes

I want an ice maker and enough room in the freezer for a pizza and that is IT.

I want the dumbest fridge you got. Gimme the orange tabby of refrigeration. I want my fridge to pull the wrong lever and turn my enemies into llamas instead of killing them. I want the following features: keeps things cold, has compartment that keeps things colder, a door that opens and shuts.

[image ID: Two tweets from Janel Comeau (@/ VeryBadLlama) reading: apparently a lot of cis women need to hear this but a world where our faces, bodies, hair, breast clothing and voices are constantly scrutinized as "not feminine enough" is infinitely more dangerous than a world where trans women might also be in the bathroom and need to pee

angry people feeling an obsessive need to look at every inch of my body to decide if some small flaw in my waist proportions or jawline warrants demanding to inspect my ID or genitals does not feel particularly safe to me /End ID]

*says a fact in a conversation and a wikipedia citation appears next to my head*

*clicks the citation*

*text pops up saying “this is not true. He saw this in a youtube video once in 2014 and took it as fact”. the words “youtube video” are underlined and in blue”

Bitches out here roleplaying internet trolling

there is an academic text I've been trying to get my hands on, and I tracked down an ebook copy held by the national library, but due to legal restrictions it's only available for viewing on a library computer on their premises. like the only way I can read this research is to go to the national central library, book a computer desk, and scroll through it on a pc monitor for hours on end.

this digital copyright shit is so stupid, it makes me SO fucking mad. it costs nobody anything to let readers access this shit from home. it's a bunch of bits and bytes, the ebook file already exists. but publishers (and I include universities in this) are so brain rotten and craven that they will block any attempt to make information more accessible just in case there's a chance they'd miss out on one person with a really specific research interest paying them like £17 to look at a word document in a more comfortable chair.

want to get even madder? the library only has 'one copy' of this ebook. we have this infinitely reproducible data resource but only one person is allowed to go and sit in a computer lab and scroll through it at a time!!! if you want to rent access from elsewhere, that'll be £17-30 depending on the gateway site. Want to buy a copy of the book? tough shit idiot. it's a niche academic text that's out of print, it's going to cost you upward of £70.

want to become the joker? it's a book about how the printing press fueled an explosion in accessible literature during the french revolution.

Beware of what spin is coming next in the media about the union strikes! The Levinson Group is real good at its job, so there's gonna be a lot of undermining happening soon. Don't fall for it!

As a WGA strike captain put it on Twitter:

They could just pay their workers fairly, instead of throwing money at PR firms to pretty up how they treat people like garbage.

Don't put any information about yourself on the internet that you're not comfortable with having someone who fucking hates you and wants to destroy your life having. Once it's out there, it's out there forever. You're a lot easier to doxx than you think. You don't have to give anyone any information that you don't want them to have. Don't let yourself be pressured into putting information about yourself on the internet. You don't actually need to put ANYTHING about yourself in your bio at all. Other people's boundaries do not mean you need to give away your information if you don't want to. They can choose not to interact with you if you don't disclose your age but that's their choice and doesn't say a damn thing about you.

I don't know if any of you have been doxxed. I have. Multiple times. I've had information about restraining orders I filed for my safety posted online, I had information about charges I filed against an ex posted. I had information about my job at the time posted and people discussing whether they should contact my boss and tell him I was lying about being domestically abused. (Uh, I wasn't. I was afraid for my life. Dude was violent and suicidal and had access to firearms.) I had people contact my rabbi and try to fuck up my family's relationship with our old synagogue. (It didn't work, but it was really shitty and a really stressful time.)

I've had people figure out where I was from a picture of flowers I posted. I've had people trying to track me so they could report me to my abusive ex.

Your information online is yours to do with as you want, and you should protect yourself. Anyone who pressures you to reveal anything about yourself - your age, your location, your full name - is out of bounds and does not have your best interests in mind.

Don't put a goddamned thing in your bio unless YOU want to do it. You don't owe strangers on the internet fuck all about yourself.

Other people get to set boundaries for themselves, not for you.

now that i’m older and understand how absolutely fucked the housing market is, all those horror movies that take place in nice houses where the family refuses to leave make sense. if i had a 4,000sqft vintage home you’d need to kill me before i ever moved out as well. fuck the ghost. charge it rent.
