I have never felt so validated in never having given up on Tumblr.
IT GETS WORSE!
"This is hilarious. It appears that Twitter is DDOSing itself. The Twitter home feed's been down for most of this morning. Even though nothing loads, the Twitter website never stops trying and trying. In the first video, notice the error message that I'm being rate limited. Then notice the jiggling scrollbar on the right. The second video shows why it's jiggling. Twitter is firing off about 10 requests a second to itself to try and fetch content that never arrives because Elon's latest genius innovation is to block people from being able to read Twitter without logging in. This likely created some hellish conditions that the engineers never envisioned and so we get this comedy of errors resulting in the most epic of self-owns, the self-DDOS. Unbelievable. It's amateur hour."
So he artificially limited the number of tweets you can see per day with a "free" account.
Once you hit your limit, it stops you from loading the page. But it also doesn't know WHY it isn't loading, so it keeps TRYING.
Twitter is literally hitting itself in the face ten times per second per user.
This is so completely amateurish it's unbelievable. It's like putting your car in neutral and slamming your foot on the gas until your engine redlines and then wondering why it's making a horrible noise and a terrible smell but not going anywhere.
i think you mean it gets BETTER
one time a casual hockey fan tried to convey this experience to me from the other side as: "it's like... okay, imagine that you like donuts, and you meet a guy who also likes donuts, and you're like, hey, cool, we both like donuts! but this guy... he built his house out of donuts"
so now when I trip into a new fandom I'm like "oh shit I'm building this house out of donuts"

So no affirmative action, no discrimination protections for same-sex couples, AND no debt forgiveness? This sucks
Another piece of news:
This court fucking sucks.
Not much we can do right now for college applicants of color, indebted graduates, or lgbt people facing discrimination from businesses, but we CAN donate to the Navajo water project https://www.navajowaterproject.org/
"Rail only works over short distances" one of the most detached from reality carbrain statements I've ever read. Rail is objectively, demonstrably better to cover long distances than it is to cover short distances. Car culture legitimately gives you some kind of brain fungus.
It’s also so hilariously stupid to go “umm the country is too big for rail” when 99% of trips aren’t from New York to California, they’re within your city, or maybe to the next city over. When a majority of people live in cities, having short-distance fail there (and returning to dense, walkable/bikable urbanism) would so vastly improve everyone’s lives.
We’ve also ALREADY HAD rail all across the country, nearly all cities and towns were built along railroads. Our cities and transit were just all destroyed by the car industry and continue to be mutilated by sprawl because politicians have been in their pocket for nearly a century.
American cities were not built for cars, they were bulldozed for cars.
it's a shame, but we just don't have the technology for something like that.
not like we did back in the good old days. of 1862.

Fun fact: There are a lot of rivers in the UK named “avon” because the Romans arrived and asked the Celts what the rivers were called. The Celts answered “avon.”
“Avon” is just the Celtic word for river.
Fan Fact #2: When Spanish conquistadors landed in the Yucatán peninsula, they asked the natives what their land was called and they responded “Yucatán”. In 2015, it was discovered that in those mesoamerican languages, “Yucatán” meant “I don’t understand what you are saying”

Life is so busy busy lately, but I saw this and had to jump over here and share it.
I hope you are well. If you are not, I hope it washes over you soon and you can keep moving forward.
Listen im just saying scribes 'prev tagging' their manuscripts is part of how we lost countless classical works but those who copied out the tags preserved fragments that r sometimes all we have so :// choose which side of history you want to be on
If youve got this tagged "prev tags" im sending a fleet of vikings to sack ur monastery btw

Gang, I am looking for a photograph I know exists, but I can not find. It is a historic black and white photo of a group of butches/transmen with a sign that say's "Who says there are no boys in Chaigao" (I believe, in reference to the draft)
I found it!

I just learned Jansport is making adaptable bags for mobility devices and thought I should share
They even have audio descriptions
[ID: a screenshot of the mobile Jansport website. There is a banner that says 'free standard shipping.' Under the banner is a link that says 'for audio description video click here.' Under the link is an illustration of 4 different types of mobility devices, each with its own adaptable Jansport bag. End ID.]
Jansport is a little pricey but it isn't like the adaptable bags are any more expensive than their other stuff, which is nice to see too!
Oh this is sick
Jansport is pricey because it's the last bag you'll ever have to buy. Seriously, buy two Jansport bags, when one breaks you send it back to Jansport and they fix it and send it back to you. In the meantime you use the second bag.
