It is a universal law of Online that the version of a post that goes viral and stands the test of time always has one more addition to it than the bit actually needs.

lukewarm take but i personally do not give a shit if poor people cheat a system that was designed to fail them anyways. i also coincidentally do not enjoy the taste of boot rubber

shout out to everyone who participated in the january-february mass depressive episode

Fun thing about football right now is that there's a move called the "brotherly shove" that the Eagles do when they're very close to scoring, where the whole team puts their hands on the ass of the guy with the ball and physically propels him over the line into the endzone for the touchdown, and all the other teams' fans hate it because it's got such a ridiculously high rate of success for the Eagles and doesn't really seem to work for any other team. People are straight-up calling for this move to be banned, claiming it's "unstoppable" and gives an "unfair advantage" but it really and truly is a skill issue. The whole league hates this move because it only makes the Eagles win more often and nobody else can figure out how to do it right

as soon as i saw the tiktok notification “thanks to president trump for yadayadayada” I immediately went “wow, that was the most obvious manipulation I’ve ever seen in my life, we just got played” and I’m not sure how anyone came to any other conclusion

Ever since I was a little girl I dreamed of creating an account and verifying my email and enabling 2 step verification and downloading the app and opting out of targeted ads and signing up for promotional newsletters and unsubscribing and unsubscribing and opting out and opting out

Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms 

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.  As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

⁂

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.

www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.

https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.

www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.

http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.

www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.

www.pdfdrive.com is the largest website for free download of books in PDF format. Claiming over 225 million names.

www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free

idk thinking about how sometimes you have to show up for people you aren't that close to, because sometimes you're just the person who's there. sometimes you invite a new friend to a party and end up having to sit with them through a panic attack. sometimes you run into an acquaintance on their worst day and they need to talk about what happened. sometimes someone is crying in a stairwell and you're the only one around to ask if they're okay. and none of this is "trauma dumping" or whatever the fuck it's just being there for people because you're the one in the room with them.

FUCK IT for all the posts i've seen of people talking about how they want more asks everyone is still too shy to send them: so HERE

by reblogging this you are asking people to send you asks, silly cat photos, memes, oc infodumps, random headcanons, wips, questions about your ocs and faves, or litterally just saying 'hi'

I will personally be visiting the inboxes of my moots/followers who reblog this, I have quite the hamster photo collection in need of sharing

Maybe they’re still partners somewhere out there

I think a lot about how in Ice Age 1 a huge theme is the slow but unstoppable advancement of the human species as they start to threaten previously unchallenged megafauna (hunting the pack of the antagonist sabertooth and killing Manny the mammoth’s family) and then in all the sequels they just fuckin disappear

PLEASE SHARE! (I have attached the English and Spanish versions but MANY more languages are available at the attached link)

One way to support the undocumented community is by sharing resources, reminding individuals of their rights, and standing in solidarity with them. Here's one effective way to offer support: provide Know Your Rights cards to empower our communities.

You can print these cards for free! I am sharing a resource from the IRC, which can be downloaded and is available in multiple languages.

Let's work together to empower our communities!

Una forma de apoyar a la comunidad indocumentada es compartiendo recursos, recordándoles sus derechos y mostrándoles solidaridad. Aquí hay una manera efectiva de ofrecer apoyo: proporcionar tarjetas de "Conozca Sus Derechos" para empoderar a nuestras comunidades.

¡Estas tarjetas se pueden imprimir gratis! Estoy compartiendo un recurso de IRC, que se puede descargar y está disponible en varios idiomas.
