WHO THE FUCK WAS GONNA TELL ME THAT BURNING CDS MAKES THE DRIVE SOUND LIKE ITS TAKING OFF??? I’VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE AND I’M SCARED FOR MY LIFE RN.

Can we have some One Piece gt? It's crazy how little there is, like, giants are canon in there, why there's so little?

I wish I could help, but One Piece is just one of those anime I never really could get into. Over 1000 episodes is just a little intimidating.

If anyone has any recs or ideas, please add them to this post!

"After I drew on him, Rodimus not only loved it, but he put a special protective coating on it so it wouldn't get scratched. Now he's off to show it to the other Autobots, especially Ultra Magnus, just to be extra."

"And Don't tell Magnus, but I gave Rodimus a new paint job. It's called 'graffiti chic'."

What did they tell him? ;)

I would just like to remind you all that the Take It Down Act didn’t disappear; it passed. And it WILL be implemented as soon as 2026 comes around.

”Ferguson and Commissioners Mark Meador and Melissa Holyoak said they plan to vociferously enforce the TAKE IT DOWN Act, a recently signed law that requires tech companies to remove nonconsensual sexual imagery within 48 hours of being alerted.” - Politico

If you care about LGBTQ rights and safety, contact orgs.

If you care about women’s rights and free speech, contact orgs.

If you care about YOUR rights and free speech, contact orgs.

Hell, if you care about keeping the Internet open to anything at all, YOU CONTACT ORGS.

IF YOU CARE ABOUT PROTESTING AT ALL AGAINST WHAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR GOVERNMENT, FULL STOP, YOU NEED TO CONTACT ORGS.

Trump has LITERALLY SAID THAT HE PLANS ON USING THIS TO HIS OWN ADVANTAGE AND CENSOR HIS CRITICS. The language of this bill is TOO BROAD to ONLY target ai deepfakes. THAT IS INTENTIONAL. THEY WANT TO GIVE HIM MORE UNCHECKED POWER.

Where is the backlash that happened right after he signed it into law?? Where did it go? WE NEED THAT ENERGY AGAIN. WE NEED TO ALL URGE ORGS TO SUE AND TAKE THIS BILL TO COURT. IT HAS NO SAFEGUARDS IN ITS TEXT THAT SPECIFY IT TO ONLY AFFECT AI DEEPFAKES. IT WILL BE USED TO CENSOR LGBTQ COMMUNITIES AND OTHER GROUPS. IF YOU THINK YOU ARE SAFE FROM THIS, YOU. AREN’T. THIS WILL AFFECT EVERYONE.

CALL THE ELECTRIC FRONTIER FOUNDATION.

CALL THE ACLU.

TELL FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE.

IN THIS POLITICAL CLIMATE WHERE SO MANY PEOPLE ARE AT STAKE, WHERE SO MANY LIVES ARE BEING THREATENED, THE AFFECTS OF THIS BILL WILL BE DRASTIC. IT WILL ISOLATE THE VULNERABLE, IT WILL KEEP US UNINFORMED, AND IT. WILL. SILENCE. US. OUR PROTESTS, EVERYTHING.

WE ARE HALFWAY THROUGH 2025.

WE ARE HALFWAY THROUGH JULY ALREADY.

WE HAVE LESS THAN 6 MONTHS TO GET THESE POLICIES CHALLENGED AND TAKEN DOWN.

SO HELP US! PLEASE!

HERE IS A BASELINE SCRIPT TO USE WHEN EMAILING ORGS. YOU CAN EDIT IT AS NEEDED TO VOICE YOUR OWN CONCERNS.

“Hello [insert org name here], I'm emailing you to call attention to the Take it Down Act, also known as TIDA.

TIDA is intended as a way to crack down on deepfake content, which often includes generated images of non-consenting individuals. In reality, this bill can and will be used by the Trump Administration as yet another overreach of government power, and to remove any content the President doesn't like from the Internet.

I urge you to please help us by challenging this bill in court as it directly goes against our 1st amendment rights.”

Get loud.

That the universe went back to Egypt times just for them

When you've been a writer for long enough, commas become more of a spiritual practice than a grammatical one.

Could I explain the actual rules of how they’re used? Absolutely not.

Do I rely on sensing a tremor in the force to tell me where to use them? Yes and this has never failed me even once.

You guys seen those videos of stray cats sneaking into tents, right?

I was going to wait until I polish the second pic a little more so I can post them together but the reposter decided that Im not the one to choose when or where to post my art so here it is O<<

I want to bring to your attention in the G1 show The first time skyfire interacted with a human. He offered them his hand (to pick them up) gave them 0.2 seconds to do so then snatched them off the floor, then immediately went to show his friends.

Organic NERD!!!

Could you imagine being a mech whose special interest is organics. You land on Earth and BAM little guys everywhere. And your boss keeps giving disapproving looks every time you snatch one off the ground.

Had a lot of fun writing this one!

sorry if i'm gonna be quiet for a while. my country recently introduced laws that make it so that in order to use social media to the fullest (not being able to view ns/fw content and in a few cases, not even having access to dms), i HAVE to give the sites my id/face scan.

it goes into effect july 25th. it'll probably effect here too, since this place allows mature content (tho not full on ns/fw)

i'm very distressed about it bc i might end up not even being able to talk to my internet friends. i don't really have any irl ones

if i have to disappear on most socials by then, you know why.

This is the 10th time you, the liaison, knock his datapads off the table (you always get away with it)

I am absolutely furious right now.

I’ve been knitting since I was like 11. And I’m only NOW finding out that the reason I couldn’t do a purl wasn’t because I was stupid or doing it wrong, it was because I don’t knit continentally?!?! So many times I thought I was just an idiot because I’d follow the tutorials and the yarn would tangle and I’d get so frustrated. But NO. IT’S A DIFFERENT FUCKING TECHNIQUE???

Once I’m over my rage, I’m going to abuse this knowledge so badly.

Okay, idea for Transformers: I know you usually write about humans in a situation where they're small, but have you ever thought about what a situation more like the G1 episode Child's Play would be like? Are Cybertronians stuck in a situation where they are not the biggest concern, but just a minor problem?

This one has been sitting in the asks for a while but it was so good I just had to write it!
