Dont even mention commission, just that word has gotten people banned off there before, at most say "good" or something if you absolutely must type something

Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices. If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

Not enough viruses keeping your bacterial population in check? Problematic phage gap

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made. Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊

This year for the holidays I made a list of small businesses, local and online, where someone could buy me gifts I would enjoy. I've urged my family to do the same, and you should too! If your family's anything like mine, giving them a reason not to shop on Amazon might be just the ticket.

Really eye-opening piece on Makaton

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke. IG bscomedian

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.

shape heading towards me in my peripheral vision as i sit at a cafe terrace me: is that my brother? it was a pigeon

Back in the day, the datacenter LiveJournal was hosted in had the requisite emergency power off button in the event of fire suppression systems becoming necessary. It was placed on the wall right next to the exit door ... where it looked precisely like a button to open an automatic door.

Okay, this book is actually super cool. This paragraph really resonated with me (and I think would to most people!). Hooray for gargoyles!

About 20 years ago there was an ad for whooping cough vaccines, aimed at grandparents. It was supposed to convey the idea that you would pose a danger to tots if you weren't vaccinated. But holy frack, how TOTALLY COOL would it be to have wolf grandparents? Or elderly wolf neighbors who knew shit?

People who say "we're wolves not sheep" have never seen two ewes trying to murder each other over relative status in the flock before they give birth, and then all their friends and family picking sides because being friends with the winner will raise THEIR status, until there is a massive brawl

Whereas the top wolves are basically just acting like parents and making sure everybody’s got food and letting the cubs crawl all over them. Honestly, the most wolf-like people around are mom friends and the dads who check your oil and sneak jumper cables into your trunk.

Yes! Wolf packs are full family units where everyone helps raise the babies and different generations are cared for *which makes sense for survival as a species*. Wolves are very good wild doggos unfairly maligned by ranchers and I need Omegaverse writers to get more creative and with the times

we are having conan for dinner silly doodle dont think much about the size

Blender is up there with Wikipedia as one of very few truly good things on the internet at this point. Please support them while you can, blender has done so much for artists!

I'm watching an adult creator get systematically cut off from every income stream by payment processors and now debankment could be on the table. She makes legal content. They are trying to shut her up and hope that we'll shut up too. We must get louder. Call Visa and MC. Tell them this will stop.

Obligatory:

*watching my siblings play videogames* Me: who's the cute butch girl? Brother: that's a man! You see lesbians everywhere! Me: God, I wish.

[1/3] The funny thing is, this isn't even the first time we've had a period where AAA computer games have become so bloated and poorly optimised that you can only install like two of them at a time. The last time around it was big-budget point and click adventure games, if you can believe it.

Payment processors should never have the ability to financially kill someone because they don't like what they're saying. This is tyranny. We have to force people to look. Anyone you can get your hands on, youtubers, local radio, etc. Make them look at what's happening.

It's #LGBTQSTEMDay so why not treat yourself to an "It's Dr Actually" pride pin or some queer #SciArt from a trans femme scientist? canopyrobin.etsy.com #PrideInSTEM

last year i was in despair hearing my family talk about their casual use of genai and not having much success with my arguments against yesterday mom and bro were chatting together about how annoying and useless and environmentally bad it was and Judging our relatives' use of it hope. peace & love

Everyone alive today, from uncontacted tribes in the Amazon to Aboriginal Australians to... well, Donald Trump or Greta Thunberg, are probably no more than 50th cousins. Everyone alive in ~3000 BC was either YOUR ancestor, or has NO living descendants. Highly unintuitive, but inevitably true.

just cranked this out - it's the central graphic from my heritage bandana, with pixelated distortion and a bunch of fake captchas on it. i have the blanks for the beige ready so I'm gonna try to make stuff in time for holiday fair nxt week but I'm wondering if lime on charcoal is anything?

only semi-related but when/why did we allow these dipshits to commandeer the ✨ emoji. AI is not magic, it does not leave a fucking trail of pixie dust. use the 🤖 emoji you soulless robotic freaks

The responses on this have been fascinatingly polarizing depending on whether people consider visual appearance or tactile texture, I'll have to get some more snow and ice options as the winter continues!

Hey! Northern hemisphere folks: this is my annual reminder to myself and perhaps also to you that if you have the schedule autonomy to permit it, get out for a walk or whatever during daylight hours! It's important! You can work more when it's dark but you need whatever sunlight is available!

the shitposter's greatest dream is to discover something they wrote has become a stranger's vocal stim
