Lessons from the 90s that children today need

what is it they put in the hardware store to make it smell so good

OK 👍 that is helps

me when they call my name at mcdonals (i am approaching the counter)

here you go sir

thank you

Y'all if you're American please email your politicians and senators against the parents decide act. I'm fucking begging because we're reaching a tipping point.

Quick and easy link to both find your congressmen/women and giving you a quick and easy way to copy / paste the message into it. You want to oppose. It's an act that will demand that all major OS makers integrate a direct forced age verification control into all OS.

I received a comment on this that I figured would be very helpful- it's a template for communicating with your representatives. Be sure to use it for reference

Dear Representative [Name],

I am writing to express my strong opposition to H.R. 8250 (The "Parents Decide Act"). As your constituent and a concerned citizen, I believe this bill introduces unprecedented risks to digital privacy and security.

Specifically, I am alarmed by:

SEC. 2(a)(1)(B): Requiring age verification to even use an operating system creates a mandatory "hardware lockout" that ends anonymous computing and forces users to hand over sensitive identification data to major corporations just to power on their devices.

SEC. 2(a)(3): Mandating that OS providers create a system for all app developers to access verification data is a massive security vulnerability. This effectively creates a centralized API of user identities accessible to thousands of third-party developers, many of whom may lack adequate data protection.

This bill does not protect children; it creates a centralized surveillance infrastructure at the OS level. I urge you to protect the privacy of your constituents and vote NO on H.R. 8250.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

This is a hell that us down under in Australia are already living in, and it’s not even effective at what it claims to do in protecting children.

Given that, in the wake of this mandatory identification policy, my country seems to be moving to hand over its citizens biometric data, like fingerprints, Face ID files, and identification documents, over to the USA and to ICE to maintain the visa free travel (ESTA) we have, I strongly urge any US resident to send these emails, or make calls.

But if you can’t do that, the most powerful thing you can do is spread the word. Tell your friends, family, coworkers, anyone who can help.

My reach will likely be small, and so I don’t know if this will mean very much in the grand scheme of things, but I cannot stand to see this tracking happen to another population as it did to mine.

And if you think it won’t affect you, it will. All anonymity goes out the window when your accounts can be linked via your personal ID

I wish you all luck in preventing this act from going through.

why is it able to instantly liquify a bay leaf but struggles with garlic 😭

it’s fine—I turned it off and started trying to fish out the bay leaf bits with a fork

okay actually though. How bad is it really to have bay leaf in there?? looking it up

Okay so it’s Not Ideal but I’m just gonna blend it more and Deal With It

I’m giving the swiffer a 4/10 rating for its ability to clean ceilings btw

DO NOT

Blenders be like that :/

you guys know about the hobby lobby smuggling scandal right

hobby lobby’s hammurabi robbing hobby

i demonstrated great social competence at the bar recently when the bartended mentioned shopping at hobby lobby and i said i never did this because of the trafficking in looted antiquities.

They are extremely homophobic and transphobic - each year they give millions of dollars to the National Christian Foundation. The NCA then uses that money to fund 23 different non-proffits which have been identified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as hate groups, they also make huge campaign donations to conservative Christian political candidates, and that is just the tip of the iceberg.

They have funded successful campaigns in other countries to make homosexuality illegal and punishable by death. They strongly support conversion therapy.

They went to court and won the right to only offer employee insurance that does not pay for birth control or abortion, and because of this lawsuit any business can also deny women the right to control their own bodies because "religious beliefs".

so I saw someone just today, re: the Joann Fabrics closings, saying "you're not a bad person if you shop at hobby lobby because you don't have anywhere else nearby to buy craft goods in person"

and like. I don't think shopping at shitty stores makes you a bad person. but consider that in order to live according to our principles sometimes it may be necessary to accept inconveniences. whether that means shopping online or driving a further distance than we'd like, or saving up to buy more expensive supplies, or whatever.

I'm the first to say hobbies are important to our well-being but also we will not shrivel up and die if we have to wait an extra couple weeks for more yarn. I'm also the first to say there's no ethical consumption in late capitalism but there is also definitely a difference between standard shitty corporations and these weird imperialist fucks.

Some alternatives:

Art supplies:

Also, you can find supplies on places like Facebook Marketplace & craigslist! Also search Mercari! Plenty of gently used or brand new stuff out there if you know what you're looking for!!

And at I've noticed a few local shops outside main citys. Check your suburbs!

Free TMA desktop

Well, hello, everyone!

I finally finished my TMA inspired desktop design! (I will never set my own deadlines again in my life ☠️).

You may have noticed that the wallpaper changed a little bit from the sketch stage to the final stage. Somewhere along the way, I realized that the original design didn't match my vision, so I decided to start from scratch 😅. I am very happy with the final result and I hope you will like it too. (I think I will eventually finish the original design if I get inspired).

Thank you all for the nice words and comments! 💚💚💚 They motivated me not to abandon the whole thing. I'm very happy to know that I'm not the only one who liked the idea of a TMA style desktop so much.

I plan to make a couple more sets of wallpapers and icons based on other characters and fears in the future. (But definitely not in the next month hahaha).

I will be very grateful if you want to support me and my work with a penny. My Ko-fi

Icons and wallpapers you can download here.

Thanks again for your support!
