I was thinking through what else I’m looking forward to this holiday season and I realized I haven’t mentioned it on here, just on discord, but— MY MOMS BEEN MAKING ME A REALLY COOL ART THING??

I think I’ve talked about it before, but my mom has been a quilter for most of my life and in the last few years started doing these really cool fabric collages, and it was my turn to request one so I asked for a phoenix cause I’m obsessed with this one art piece I did in art therapy ages ago

Anyway, my mom has been working on it and THIS was the last update I got???

I’m so excited for it?? Can’t wait to see where it’s at by the time I get there this weekend

i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point

We could be leading meaningful lives, in a safe world, supported by active communities and equitable exchange of resources.

But a handful of pathologically rich people would rather cram us into factories and pollute our air and water so that they get to play Godking.

And yet, I'm the "extremist" for suggesting that they shouldn't be to allowed to do that.

I’d like to live through a week that’s not a whole new verse of “We Didn’t Start the Fire.”

advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love

Here's what the ai-flagging extension is looking like so far-- it works off of a human-generated blacklist of shops, and flags any listings from those shops. Probably won't change this part more, I think it works pretty well as-is.

Right now if you go to a listing from a blacklisted shop, it makes a little banner at the top. Not sure how I feel about the verbiage; suggestions welcome there. Will probably make a banner pop up on shop gallery pages, as well.

Keeping it simple with the info popup. Haven't made the last two links yet, but that'll be easy.

A google form may not be the most elegant way to handle user submissions, but by gum, is it the easiest. It does mean that-- since file uploads are enabled-- it'll only accept submissions from google accounts, and will log the account info for submitters. Unideal, but I think it'd be dumb to keep a log of shops without some kind of screencap showing why exactly they have been added to the blacklist. So image submissions are on, and therefore google's security features are on.

This form is up and open, if y'all see any shops that ought to be added to it. Don't bother submitting anything too ambiguous, though-- I'm thinking I'll only flag stuff that's clear-cut.

Extension is not done yet, but the beta of it does work. Well? IDK. But it's better than nothing.

Will clean stuff up more in the next couple days and see what I have to do to get it submitted to the official Firefox plugin website.

anyway go get yourselves the cross stitch for gaza bundle, €15 for 63 patterns

I'm actually a huge fan of enemies to lovers because I do think it's hot but to be clear "enemies to I think you're attractive and that's overcoming my hatred of you" sucks ASS the trope is about growing RESPECT and GENUINE AFFECTION the POINT is that they always found each other attractive but it doesn't MATTER until they also have a solid relationship built on trust respect and friendship!!!!! Do you understand my vision!!!!

It’s sad how much of what is taught in school is useless to over 99% of the population.

There are literally math concepts taught in high school and middle school that are only used in extremely specialized fields or that are even so outdated they aren’t used anymore!

The paradox of tolerance is only a paradox if you think of tolerance as some sacred and unconditional moral duty. Some ultimate and absolute law with no exceptions, and if you ever slip into the sin of intolerance, you must repent yourself and beg for forgiveness. Yeah no fuck that. Tolerance is a social contract. You're in the game as an equal player for as long as you play by the same rules as everyone else, and if you don't, your ass is fucking out. You're not entitled to the same respect you won't give others.

"Oh so you all tolerate each other just because you tolerate each other, but if I want to destroy you, then all of a sudden you want to destroy me?" Literally yes. That's the gist of it. What's not clicking. This equation is so simple it barely counts as math.
