Just so that people know...

Facebook/Meta's just-announced change in its fact-checking and moderation policies (which would, among other things, allow users to refer to LGBTQ+ people as "mentally ill"), and its sudden vanishing of trans- and nonbinary-friendly themes, has made it plain to me that some of the book-series-oriented spaces I've maintained over there for years are no longer safe places for users, especially younger ones, to be.

I have therefore begun deleting them.

The Middle Kingdoms page (being both the smallest and the one now potentially most dangerous to keep) was the first to go: I nuked it about ten minutes ago. (Naturally I checked it first to make sure nothing of any note was going on in there, and also naturally, I took a backup.)

The Young Wizards page will be the next to be deleted, probably tomorrow. The Ebooks Direct page there will also be deleted over the weekend. Neither of them was all that busy, ever: but that's not the point here. Meta is no longer a safe or appropriate place for them to be. (It doesn't hurt that many of FB's employees are furious about this policy change too... but their boss, I firmly believe, doesn't give a shit about that.)

The DD Facebook page may suffer the same fate. My personal "main" account...? I have a lot of older friends over there for whom FB is their lifeline and main digital platform. I'm going to have to think about how best to handle that. It may be that there will be no more public posting from me there: just DM'ing. ...And I'm still working out what makes the most sense to do about the Middle Kingdoms Instagram account, and my own personal one. Neither of them has been heavily trafficked, and I may nuke them too.

(sigh) All this comes as something of a wrench. But at the very least, as regards the part of my creative work that contains LGBTQ+ themes and characters, I refuse to leave any of it there. To do so would risk having its continued presence seen as support for the platform's boss (and, as @petermorwood remarks in passing, "would-be capo"), who's already busy genuflecting to the US government's incoming (mob-)boss's agenda.

So, as the man says,

"If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well It were done quickly..."

Was recently reminded by my friend @teeg of just how much info Facebook collects to track you, and I want to share how to make that harder for them with the rest of you.

If you still have facebook/can't get rid of it (for any reason- we're not here to judge today) then you're going to want to clear your off-Meta activity.

You read that right, Meta tracks what you do off it's apps as well. It tracks other apps and websites that you use- whether you connected them to Facebook or not, AND places you visit IRL and when you visited. This includes not just stores and other businesses, but also allegedly includes hotels, schools and hospital/doctors offices. (I'm unfortunately unable to confirm the last three for myself as I didn't look closely at mine before deleting- and it's been years since I've graduated or stayed at a hotel, and months since I've been to a doctor. If anyone cares to confirm in the notes I'll update this post.)

This post will show you how to clear your off-Meta activity. (You'll also want to toggle off Ads data permissions, but I'll make another post about that later.)

First, go to your Profile Icon, then to Settings and Privacy to get to your Settings.

Once in Settings you're going to click See more in Accounts Center. On desktop it should be in a box on the upper-left of the page.

Once in Accounts Center you're going to click Your information and permissions, then Your activity off Meta technologies at the bottom of that window.

Once in the Your activity off Meta technologies window you're going to notice at the bottom three buttons, Disconnect specific activity, Clear previous activity, and Manage future activity.

You're going to want to first clear your previous activity and disconnect future activity. This will also automatically clear any activity that would be under the Disconnect specific activity tab, as it's just for picking and choosing what activity to delete.

An added benefit to this is that it will also clear out some of the data Meta uses for its AI programs- not all, but hey- that's something.

Also, even if you can't delete your Facebook account, I urge you to please delete/uninstall the app from your phone as that's the #1 best way to keep it from tracking you everywhere you go IRL and online. That said, if you delete no other Meta app from your phone- make sure to delete FB messenger- it's literally the worst one, but that's another post, which I'll hopefully get to after the FB ads one I promised above.

Stay safe out there, and remember- fuck Facebook.

Redacted Boi Social Media Headcanons

Vincent only really uses Instagram, but is required by the Department to have it private because his human name is legally missing-presumed-dead and his face has a risk of being recognized if someone from his human life stumbled upon his Instagram. That said, he doesn't really screen people who request to follow him

Darlin' and Sam don't use any social medias. Darlin' has a Facebook from teenage years, but they deactivated it. But not fully deleted, so they can still be tagged in all the group photos posted to the pack page. In high school, Darlin' was the person who got a lot of unsolicited DMs because they were hot but they hate attention so they blocked everyone but their pack and deactivated. Darlin' reluctantly keeps their Discord for the pack server

David hates social media. He maintains the pack's private Facebook group and Discord server (though the latter is really more Asher's job, David's just in charge) but will not touch anything else. David's favorite social media is YouTube because he can lookup tutorials for anything and not have to ask anyone for help

Milo's a borderline Instagram influencer. He's got a gazillion followers (who all think he's hot, and he is). His Instagram is directly linked to his Facebook, so every picture and caption he puts on IG gets automatically posted to FB too

Marie comments only on Milo's Facebook (she has and kinda uses IG, but doesn't comment). She's the one that will leave the heartfelt comments with "Call me" at the end. She knows that's a meme among younger people that their older relatives leave "what a beautiful couple. Call me" comments, but she does it anyway. And guess what? She does it because it works. Milo👏 is👏a👏Mama's👏Boy👏 and he will call her when she leaves those comments

Asher doesn't use social media much, but is perpetually on Discord. He mods the pack's server, and like 6 others just for fun. He does post lots of pictures of Babe and selfies of the two of them together on the pack's Facebook though

Damien used to get into arguments on Twitter with randos. Huxley thinks it's funny to pull them up from when Damien was a teenager

Huxley was never much into most social medias but I like to think he'd be like that one TikTok dude who pops up on my Tumblr dash occasionally who explains how to do calisthenics and other workout stuff in a really simple, easy, modified way for people who are just getting started. People started following him because he's hot, and then realized he's actually like the nicest dude and doesn't know he's popular

Lasko's a Tumblr boy. I'm not taking constructive criticism on this

Gavin refuses to get an Instagram because he knows he'd get too addicted to it. He knows he's ridiculously good-looking and would amass a following supernaturally fast, and that's why he won't. But he has his old Facebook from when it first started to be popular. He got rid of all his old friends list and now just has Freelancer, Huxley, Lasko, Damien, and a handful of d(a)emon friends who also have Facebooks like Crux

Avior doesn't have any social media at all

Neither does Caelum and Gavin and Freelancer have decided not to expose him to the negativity of the internet

Vega refuses

Cam keeps a few things for professional purposes, but doesn't use them much

Guy is a Tumblrina. Guy is a Tumblrina. Guy is a Tumblrina. Guy is

Aaron's favorite is LinkedIn. This is a joke.

Elliott uses Pinterest a lot for aesthetic inspiration for dreams. He doesn't use much else

Blake is on like every social media all the time. Mostly for CloseKnit. But he also stalked Bestie from afar for a long time

James had to get rid of all of his when his job started getting more secretive and he had to have limited contact with the rest of the world

Morgan doesn't have any social media just as a way to keep himself and his magic safe. The Department protections didn't require it, but he thought it was for the best

Porter totally isn't jealous that Vincent has a higher IG follower count than him and his account isn't even private. He's always trailing like 20 behind

“I have lifted the above from mopv. Short of unaliving someone, which Im sure he hasn't, I just don't understand what could bring trouble to him. So many entertainers do shady stuff.”

Disclaimer I know nothing! Just giving my thoughts

Going to write what I think the million dollar answer 😂. So wThe unliking could have happened before wt even started but it didn’t. The unliking spree just showed us how he seemed guilty of something, and the unfollowing of one of his “conquests” during a troll calling him out was sus. Having his bros involved also sus, having a female in the group S also following his farmhouse conquests also sus. These creeps usually use women to give some form of “trust”to potential victims. Him following the girls on his main IG then transferring to his finsta and then unfollowing them right after taking them to soho also sus.

As I said I know literally nothing. But there are a lot of things that if came out could ruin an actors career especially a C - actor. An A list can have a good pr campaign to brainwash and change the narrative, but c list won’t have the funds.

Things that can ruin a career (I am in no way saying he did this). These are just opinions 1. Any form of SA, Having relations with minors, Allegations of drugging individuals, Forcing girls to be with his bros, filming these “conquests” without consent, serious domestic violence, many more.

Deleting hbs, blocking accounts that mention it is alarming! Erasing it seems like there is something bad to hide. Why didn’t he unlike before WT? Did a victim come out and was shushed? Usually when one speaks up it gives others courage, there are powers in numbers.

One of Jared Leto’s victims wrote a post on FB back in 2012, but she didn’t have a voice to be heard until now. Maybe a girl shared her experience with L but didn’t have the following to go viral. I know there was a page that was “don’t date Luke N” created during the height of hbs. It was later deleted. It shared that L is not a good guy and to not give him a chance, the girl went to soho house with him . If he did any of the awful things that I think he did I believe his bros, Antonia and S and even family all know.

I have NO IDEA what he did but I just find the whole thing SUS.

I also find the whole block, ban and hide anything that mentions hbs on TT or IG very strange. # LN on twitter was getting deleted at some point

This is all very strange. Your right anon SA crimes A list can do whole brand cleanup with investors. But c list most will just go in hiding and could be career ending.

[lukola4evs]

I promise I am not trying to debunk it but please someone explain to me how they saw MN’s comment. Her FB profile is private. Are people following distant relatives and finding her comments on their posts? I feel dumb that I do not understand how so many people claim to have seen this with their own eyes. The only place I saw it was reblogged on tumblr.

Yes it was on a distant relatives fb page that was public. And you could literally search it and it was there.

Guessing someone in the fandom messaged Luke or his family since it’s now been deleted but it was there this morning too.

I’m guessing we’ll never get nice things again ever so keep searching for his likes on ig because we know he’s gonna go into hermit mode now.

Again. Just because you don’t like the status quo doesn’t mean you need to harass family, make extravagant stories up about his family, and/or delude yourself into thinking Lukola are a current thing, romantically.

But if the delulus and ultralulus wanted to push them, Anke, further together, they probably did with this stint, so congrats I guess.

Just waiting and watching for anything that gets sent to me.

Still in the tomdaya phase when they were dating others for me but to each their own.

[hyperazraphael]

So I had a FUN LITTLE DISCOVERY about Facebook today!

So today I decided to go ahead and private as much as my Facebook as possible. Why? Because the less I have to interact with it, the better. Literally the only reason I don't delete it is because I use it to keep in contact with my D&D group who won't use Discord for some cursed reason and I do have some old memories on there with a couple of friends that are nostalgic. And while I was referring to an article which had some steps for how to do so, I came across this little gem:

To which I said, "What do you mean OFF Facebook activity??? What OFF Facebook activity would FACEBOOK be tracking???" So I followed those steps and went in there and pulled up the list of information it had stored and LO and fucking behold! Apparently Facebook has been tracking a BUNCH of shit that I've been doing online EVEN though my Facebook is registered with my old-ass hotmail account and almost everything I do online is through my modern gmail. Also, I VERY INTENTIONALLY don't have FB installed on my phone, so it is VERY much separated from anything I do. And not just my searches, oh no no. It has been monitoring a WHOLE BUNCH of fun stuff including tracking my doordash orders, etsy orders and searches, shopping on zenintcg, the fact that we have insurance through Allstate, even my old fucking HINGE dating profile which I haven't even USED since like 2018 but apparently they've been getting updates on as recently as last year.

Seriously the ONLY thing Facebook should know about on this list is Grand Summoners, because it used to use FB to log in. NOTHING ELSE had anything to do with my hotmail, or FB. This is all information that FB obtained independently without my consent.

SO THAT'S FAN-TUCKING-FASTIC. I'm just... such a fan of that!

So for any of y'all who you know, DON'T want this corporation who is known for mishandling and selling user information to have information that it obtained about you without your consent outside of its platform, I suggest you follow those steps above to disable that. Currently it takes you to a secondary page where you you will need to follow these additional steps to Disconnect from Future Activity:

So yeah maybe spread the word because this is sure news to me and BOY AM I PISSED. Like I expect this from Google. Google tracking my searches or whatever makes sense in a hell on earth capitalist society way. Amazon tracking what you search on Alexa (or say within the same room as Alexa), sure. But Facebook finding my information even though it's associated with a different email address and not through its platform? THAT is just insane and malicious to me. I feel like a tin hat lunatic that's like "the social media's secretly trackin' me and stealin' my information!" except this time they actually ARE.

Hate of all kind will be deleted, antisemitism and islamophobia are not tolerated here

Written on 2/14/24

I do not normally post "political" content. Political being in quotations because I do not consider this a political issue but the world does.

The genocide of the people in Gaza has been going on for 130 days (+75 years). It is estimated that 20,000+ Palestinian civilians have been killed with presumed thousands unaccounted for buried under the rubble.

This is collective punishment and it is a war crime. Collective punishment is a war crime.

I waited so long to speak on this here because I wasn't really sure how to. Before Oct 7th, had no clue of what was happening between Israel and Palestine through every fault of my own. I have been reposting from creators on other social media platforms but I was unsure how to do so here.

That being said, this is my most followed platform by hundreds of people. I will continue to post my usual content, but you will also more than likely be seeing more of this.

People To Follow:

All of these are on Instagram but many (such as Bisan, Mansour, Hind, Motaz, and Plestia) have accounts on FB, TikTok, and Twitter.

For boycotts:

BDS Movement Official Website

"BDS aims to end international support for Israeli violations of international law by forcing companies, institutions and governments to change their policies. As Israeli companies and institutions become isolated, Israel will find it more difficult to oppress Palestinians." - BDS website

Another company to boycott is Starbucks, they are not on the BDS list but a grassroots boycott has been started. This is because the company filed a lawsuit against a union of Starbucks workers who posted pro-Palestinian content. They are also very well known for mistreating their employees so it's really worth not going for multiple reasons. Support local coffee shops, they taste better and cost less money :)

I would like to finish this off by saying again that hate of any kind is not tolerated on my platform, it will be deleted and you will be blocked. 

Operation Olive Branch

They are an account on TikTok who has created a spreadsheet with the GoFundMe's of Palestinian trying to leave Gaza. On the spreadsheet you can see how much progress the family has made with their fundraising, why they need help, and can allow you to connect with that family or their representative via their social media. You can find Operation Olive Branch on TikTok with the handle @ operationolivebranch or on IG with the same handle. (Forgive my poor explanation, there's a lot more too it that is better explained on their page.)

Michael Myers roleplay account

MDNI—(minors do not interact)

🔪🩸RULES AND ABOUT ME:

• this rp acc of Michael Myers isn't that accurate but I will do my best doing so.

• do not interact with me if you're a minor(if you are I can just see you as my son/daughter/sibling in roleplays just don't do anything weird because I do not want any of that crap)

• rude comments will be deleted immediately since I don't accept that kind of thing here

• you can interact with me and ask questions but do know what you're saying first

• ask me any questions(just not personal ones)

• i don't post much everyday

• if you want him to talk, you gotta try getting to know him more first

• do not make a scene(especially an argument) in my comments or even reblogs

• do not interact in my posts if it's 18+, do interact if my posts are family friendly

(INFORMATION ABOUT HOW I ROLEPLAY HIM)

In my way of roleplaying michael Myers, it's a little bit accurate. This Michael though if you get to know him more and more or rather be friends with him he'll soften up but do not get lucky.. he'll still murder you if you've done a wrong move.

in my way of roleplaying michael Myers, he'll often talk just a tiny bit and let out some sounds like scoffs, breathing, grunting, and also grumbling. Yes he does not talk but he does that in my sort of roleplay.

You could also follow me in my fb page if you want(even though I don't post much from there)

today been good so far. Paid some of my debt. Club fitness is being kind to me. I think it's cus of my cat ear creature hat! Also I explained how the dog bit me and I'm mentally disabled. So maybe they had empathy for me. One them complimented my hat ❤️‍🩹🌞

Anyways I'm at my boyfriends again. He is having access to me cellphone. I'm gonna take a bath now and shave. But not my legs cus they cheap razors and I always accidentally cut myself w cheap razors. Hairy leg lady here!

(edit: found good razors an ex friend dumpster died for me last year. I'm grateful. So I shaved my legs. Boyfriends sleeping rn. It's 4:50 pm thursday. )

I paid off my ambulance bill. Decided to start paying particular bills this new year. Mostly gym stuff.

My bf said "so we are officially together again" yes we are!

I'm going to be on better behavior and not yell or call cops on him. When his temper arises i shall remember: love is patient love is kind. Love hopes all things, love bears all things, love never ends.

So IDK if I can continue my gym membership after this last month cus I cancelled. It would suck to um have to start all over again cus that cost like a hundred dollars. It's interesting because I usually prefer matrix brand stairsteppers. But the one at gym near boyfriends is "life fitness" brand.

I am ever hopeful and tenderly excruciatingly vulnerable.

New years eve during my Uber ride to boyfriends my Uber driver said it was weird for her to be out and about working. I said omg I know I feel like a vulnerable animal. She said she understood completely as she had a panic attack at the gym the day before. We talked about panic attacks. I was diagnosed with panic disorder at age 17. It happened after I smoked weed out of a bong. I was freaking out so bad with my friends all around. They tried to give me crackers or cookies and knew i LOVE fairies. They were like "see gia~ it's fairy food!" So yes they tried to comfort me but it didn't work. They drove me home and I walked in fast circles around my house. Eventually called the cops on myself saying I was freaking out from smoking weed. Ambulance came and they said my heart rate was high. My current bf at the time brought me roses in the hospital. It was like a really long panic attack. Anyway it's a coincidence cus my Uber driver started getting panic attacks after smoking marijuana in highschool too. She said she did it three times in her life ain't ever gonna do it again. I'm like wow I done it way more but same, not gonna ever smoke marijuana again thank goodness. My bf does smoke weed sometimes but sparingly bc I abhor it. (Also just the thought of burning a plant does not abide well with me. Plants have feelings! We supposed to make friends with them not burn them! Just my naive opinion.)

Ok so about his new girl or whatever. I found her facebook. She seems cool I guess. She made a post about how its ok to be worthless. I love that. What's upsetting is my bf saying he won't use Facebook anymore so we ain't making our relationship public again.

I deactivated my old account bc I didn't want him to block or delete me. I wanted to peek at his page from time to time if we weren't together.

Also his ex defended me, she wrote him a letter and said he really needs a woman in his life. They r strictly friends. I got to stop nagging him about her with my fuming Scorpio jealousy. ~*I need patience and trust in God and this relationship, my heart.*~ Anyway even tho she said I wasn't as pretty as he made me out to be, she told the new girl that he's already got a girl! (Me!!!!🥹💞)

Also another time all the thirsty-for-him young female neighbors were trying to get his attention and flirt with him. Maggie his ex screamed out her motor vehicle and said "he has a girlfriend!' I feel blessed. I like her. I peeked at her Facebook page for the first time and she seem quite amiable. No I did not try to add her on my new fb account. But also my bf refused awhile ago recently to add me. I think he wants people to think he isn't with me no more.

But as soon as I stepped in apartment new years eve he was all talking about us still getting a place together. Wow. I'm definitely going to spend more time at my parents this time around. It feels good and better that way. I am wholesome kinda, always longed and yearned for a pure wholesomeness in life. ~*My mom's so dear and darling and kind.*~ Today she is going to put stamp on and mail out my money order for my previous ambulance experience. I said mom don't forget! And she said she won't bc she's "a control freak". She's a Pisces with Virgo moon. Venus in Taurus. Both my parents have Venus in Taurus. My Jupiter is in Gemini the 7th house Taurus. So it says I have good steady one on one relationships but that I can be stubborn and sensate in them duh. Am very fond of my family and dog and kitty cats.

I'm scared to live with boyfriend but do want to move forward w the relationship. He said he would even buy me a matrix stairstepper! They r like over 10,000 dollars I think. That would be a dream come true for me! Tho I do enjoy walking and writing to & fro.

Anyway. It's getting darker and darker. 5:18 pm now. I done posted so much it won't let me post til midnight.

Love y'all so much and I appreciate your company reverently.

Edit 8:31 pm: made vegan Alfredo w organic mushrooms. Had one bowl. That's all I ate today. Was super productive and didn't binge.

The Shannon new girl just called his house phone while him and his ex (they jus friends) are out shopping. His ex called me sweetie again lol

🌛🌞🌜

But she texted my wifi number (free text n calls it's an app lol) and said "ignore crazy ass Shannon" I said okay and put a lil squirrel 🐿️ emoji lol. Cus me and my bfs one our first dates was him feeding a squirrel on a hike it LOVED him. Then his ex replied "she's so fucked up"

O rly? Compared to me? Doubt it. Shannon his new love interest seems older than me and not as cutesy. But like I said she seemed cool cus she posted about being worthless as something not bad.

I try to look on positive and be like wow dese ladies is pretty and awesome and I wuv them. I jus wanna be included and not lied to 🥺

My coach in elementary school used to call me giapet. I feel like a regal, authoritative, meek, shy, friendly, excruciatingly vulnerable pet of humans in general. Gotta love em.

Ooh forgot to mention mom got me a mom and daughter journal to pass back and forth. I'll do that now after I inspect my queue. Peace and love. Happy new year! 🐁🤍

Edit again: omg my bf jus called to be like, that Shannon bish is crazy like she might stab someone. What the ever living fluff? I hate violence!

Anyway hope y'all receive rejuvenating rest and wake up refreshed and brave! 🕯️

How does one format epubs? I have a lot of free time and love formatting, I'd love contributing to the effort of fixing all the doctor who epubs!

It’s complicated, but doable.

First, it depends on the style of PDF. There are some that are crisp scans of every page, scanned by the Camels, (btw the camels if you’re still around you’re a real one.) and for those, I open them in Microsoft Word, because word is like 80% good at converting it, where other PDF eaters suck.

From there, I check out some common problems:

1. Footers: just remove them all. They don’t help in ePub land

2. Headings: for consistency, I change all the Headings to Agency FB, because it’s included in windows and matches the vibe of the headings in the book

3. Chapter Breaks: I turn on the “View Whitespace” mode, and delete everywhere that says section break, and then make sure there’s a page break at the end of every chapter, after the title page, foreword, etc. I also add “Chapter X” on the line before the title of the chapter. The EDAs are not consistent in how they handle chapter titles and I crave consistency so I add it.

4. Table of Contents. Word is Too Powerful™️ and recognizes the table of contents and imports it as a smart, clickable ToC, which, again, we don’t need. You can’t really edit it or anything so I just delete it, and type up a new one, leaving off the page numbers because we won’t need them in epic land.

5. Formatting. This is the bulk of the issue. I use word WildCards, which are similar to RegEx, to find all cases of a lowercase letter or comma followed by a paragraph mark, and replace it with the same character followed by a space. Then I also look for instances of a paragraph mark followed by a lower case letter, and replace it with space plus the letter. Then I replace all Tab characters with a space. Then I look for paragraph marks followed by a space and replace them with just a paragraph mark. This gets like 94% of the bad formatting that the Calibre/kindle/etc auto ePub conversion makes reading insufferable. I try to catch as many of the rest while doing the remaining steps.

6. Formatting cont’d: then, I change the Normal style to be 12pt Garamond. This isn’t important because this is ultimately up to the reader’s chosen font in their eReader, and I don’t embed Garamond, but putting it in Garamond makes it easier for me to notice when something is wrong because I’m used to seeing Garamond while making these.

Then, I use Find/Replace to add a highlight to everything that has the same indent as the Normal style, so I can then see everything weird because it won’t be highlighted. I then scrub through the book and set the problem paragraphs to the Normal style, which then Corrects the indents. I make sure when I do this to watch for italics and make sure that the style didn’t revert them to normal. This happens on short paragraphs with one or two words, and one of which is italicized, as well as paragraphs where the entire thing is italicized.

I also in this step scrub through to find mid-chapter breaks, the favorite storytelling device of the EDAs, and make them uniform. Word will make it into various levels of after-paragraph spacing, but I set the paragraph to normal, and then just leave two empty paragraphs between the sections. This tends to import the best across devices and fonts.

Finally, I make sure that after each chapter and chapter break, the first paragraph isn’t indented, to match the style of the print EDAs.

7. Still formatting, but different. I then do a scrub through and make sure I didn’t screw anything up or forget something. The problem with RegEx is that it will do exactly what you tell it to, even if that’s not what you wanted to happen. So oftentimes my table of contents or copyright page is borked, and I have to go fix it. Once I have it in a decent shape, I

8. Import into Calibre. Just drag and drop the DocX into Calibre and it’ll get added as a book. I then use the metadata editor to download the metadata from the web, so it’ll have good info on it. None of the online sources regocnize this as a series, though, so I add it myself.

9. Convert to ePub: in the Calibre library list I right click the book and convert it to ePub, default settings. DocX->ePub conversion is really simple because they are both just HTML pages under the hood, so it imports perfectly.

10. (Bonus steps) once an ePub, I press T to edit the book, and import Agency FB and Agency FB Bold, and then press the Table of Contents button, to select where the in-reader chapter list points to. And then I use just hyperlinks to make the in-book ToC clickable to take it to the same place.

The uglier, hand-typed PDFs are basically the same, but then I also have to do a bunch of spell check to catch all the typos. And then those don’t have italics at all, so depending on the book, and if I have a copy of it physically, I scan the physical book with my eyeballs to catch italics and add them back to the DocX. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than the baffling choice to just remove them completely.

I know from importing the PDFs a long time ago there’s another person who scanned/typed the books, but I haven’t seen the state of them to know if they’ll need extra TLC.

It’s kind of a whole lot! But also if I get a The Camels PDF I can knock it out in about an hour.

If you wanted to take a crack at it, by all means! Though I really need a proofer, so if you wanted to just start reading and use the form links I have in the folders to report the issues you find, that would be wonderful. Bonus points, you get to read the EDAs lol.

This is part 2 of this post that I made after @teeg reminded me just how much info Facebook collects to track you, and I want to share how to make that harder for them with the rest of you.

Part 1 was how to clear your off Off-Meta activity, and this post will be about how to toggle off Ads Data Permissions. (And I'm going to remind everyone again that we're not here to judge today- there are multiple reasons why some people cannot delete FB, but turning all this stuff off is the next best thing for those who can't!)

Like last time we're going to start by going to your Profile Icon, then to Settings and Privacy to get to your Settings. And once in Settings you're going to click See more in Accounts Center. On desktop it should be in a box on the upper-left of the page.

Once in Accounts Center you're going to click Ad preferences, then Manage info at the bottom of that window.

This will open up a list of three categories of permissions that allow them to use your data for ads. These are: Information used to show you ads, Ads shown outside of Meta, and Other settings.

First, were going to tackle the Information used to show you ads category. (This will be the longest section of the three, so please bare with me.)

Open Categories used to reach you, and disable all those options. Then, in the bottom of that same window, find Categories associated with you, click View and manage, and remove them all.

When you're done the window should look like this.

Next open Activity information from ad partners. You may get a window asking you to Review Setting- if so, click it. Then you're going to want to toggle the option that says, "No, don't make my ads more relevant by using this information"

Next, open Audience-based advertising. This is where you'll be able to see advertisers who are using your activity or information, and be able to remove yourself from their lists.

I'm going to be honest, this one is a little more exhausting. The list is ever-changing as new advertisers ad your information to their lists. You won't recognize more than half of the names, but if you wish you can go through your whole list and click the two Don't Allow buttons on each advertiser to remove yourself from their lists.

Just know that the list is long, and more will appear days later, after you think you're done- so I understand if most of you will want to come back to this step later, or skip it.

I'm going to be honest and say I don't really know if this step is that needed considering everything we will be turning off (tho I suppose many of these will be running off information they already had before you turned it all off so it might be good to try?)- so I'll leave that to your discretion.

Now we can finally move on to the Ads shown outside of Meta category.

First, open Ads from Ad partners, and click Don't show me ads from ad partners.

Then open Ads about Meta, and click Don't use my activity to show me ads about Meta.

Finally, under the Other Settings category click on Social interactions and make sure Only me is selected to disable Meta from including your social interactions alongside ads that your friends see.

And we're finally done!

Also, reminder that even if you can't delete your Facebook account, I urge you to please delete/uninstall the app from your phone as that's the #1 best way to keep it from tracking you everywhere you go IRL and online. That said, if you delete no other Meta app from your phone- make sure to delete FB messenger- it's literally the worst one, but that's another post, which I'll hopefully get to later.

Stay safe out there, and remember- fuck Facebook.

Hello,why you have stopped updating your social media so far,you lack personal time or just tired of them? We have to see anything at youtube 3 years now.

I,as introvert and shy person,i just hate insta,fb,i've deleted my accounts years ago,i dislike exposure at other people.

We like to see you playing some music,some guitar ,i recently begun electric guitar,even if i'm a bit old for that.

i struggle with depression at times,motivation is not there,confidence is not there,despite i've done therapies,nothing changes at all,i'm the same person as i remember from childhood.

Hi there,

Ive conteplated about making new videos about my travels, I've had some really cool adventures to latin America, India and Africa in the last years but I really dont enjoy video editing as its really painful on my wrists, so as time passed i let it go. I have an art page on istagram that's the only social media that have @gluemyart but I'm in the process of selling it as well as i am really tired of social media. I much rather spend my time reading books , drawing and listening to music.

I dont have that much free time as an adult, there's work and house chores laundy supermarkets and eating healthy and working out is a lot to keep up with, along with therapy and acupuncture and just life. So i want to be mindful about how i make use of my limited personal time, in terms of people and lifestyle. By the way I am currently taking piano lessons at 32 years old so its never too late to start something you love! When i was younger and learning guitar i was eager to play the song but now i am enjoying the learning process of piano. The slowing down of the mind the focus. i love it! i am not in a rush or impatient with the process. I can see myself doing for as long as my hands can cope as i am struggling with some health issues. Idk where you are or how old you are i will only say this: Ashtanga yoga. It saved my life. If you can find somewhere in your area go there and with practice all will pass. I think its your perspective that you need to work on, your perception , your mindset and i think ashtanga yoga will help you. I am currently working on the same exact thing. Enjoy your day :)

"I still can’t believe even Luke’s mom is in on this mess with that weird ass comment on fb"

😯

What comment, I am left behind. Spill the tea, Anon!

This is how I remember it. I think it was very weird and sus

His mom left a comment on a public local page on fb to answer a question to her sis . The sis asked if Cyprus is good to travel in October, mrs. newton answered “yes, Luke’s gf is from Cyprus and says it’s really nice.”(something along those lines)

No one noticed anything so 24 hrs later his mom or Luke (that’s what I suspect lol) were sending anons to tumblr accounts. One acc shared it with ss and then it became a bigger deal and then it landed on X. So Mrs newton deleted the comment that same day. Like wtf

And magically Luke appeared at boss event a couple days later. We hadn’t seen Lukey since the fall. So this was all planned.

Come on your going to ask your sister to ask about Cyprus of all places on fb and then answer with Luke’s gf is from there. Wouldn’t his aunt already know about A? 👀 .

His mom is a literal grandma, she needs to grow up

It’s always the same script, something “leaks” they delete and then bang we see Lutonia 😂

It’s very comical

Wednesday 17th January 2024 - The Impact of Gen Z Culture and Mental Wellbeing

If there's one lesson I've learnt from this book, should a person suffer from mental health issues over social media, get out and do something else instead of raging over typical stuff.

Hello Gen Z by Claire Madden summed up everything about the online world in terms of Gen Z culture and the negative impact on mental well-being. I was born under the Generation Z category at the time when the Internet was invented because many people want to go on the computer to play games, watch videos, blog about their daily lives, download music from a P2P streaming platform, write a review on the latest trends in pop culture, look at porno pictures, et cetera.

I am tech-savvy when it comes to using computer technology; you would build me a custom AI to have conversations with in case I'm down on my feelings lately. But seven months ago, my Facebook got locked temporarily because of some hacker who took hold of my personal information, my online friends, and my content. If I hadn't deleted that FB reset code, I would've done it straight away and kicked that hacker's arse to the curb.

Anyways, what I'm about to show you are my favourite pages from 170-171 and 176-177 in the seventh chapter of Claire Madden's Hello Gen Z:

I loved how the author put down some tables on the pros and cons of how to be a positive leader and how to collaborate in a group because when you lead a team of Gen Z citizens in making a better revolution in the digital age, this explains how serious technology affected people who were born under the Generation Z era and it could make an impact in the future, preferably in the next five to ten years.

If I were to read it again, I would save it for the next uni module as a citation where it would talk about music and its influence on wellbeing towards listeners who have a passion for listening to music in general. It would be so much better to include it in the reference list at the bottom if I had to.

12/29/23 Hasan Piker said to please defend him more, finally I have been given the permission I need to sephiroth post. Late Christmas Early New Year Miracle!!!! Drama frog rejoice

(cross posting from reddit)

Hi long time lurker. And look, this is a page about HASAN PIKER. This is the place for what I'm about to do, I'm a girl with a bunch of interests and sometimes those interests intersect in ways I just sit on for years cause quite honestly I'm using "girl" v loosely and I'm 31 woman and I know what "cringe" is because I wrote the book, so I just kinda shit post in comments on twitter to release the stress of being a fan of Hasan, and I don't have a twitter anymore, so I thought I was just going to have to die on this.

But finally, on this day I was watching a clip from the 12-29-23 at 4 in the morning cause I got off work early (https://youtu.be/kMwQQmVMcAw?si=XhjWf6R_O5UgH9MX&t=294) and I got all I need to let out about 4 years of built up Hasan drama. So mods, Daddy said I could so please please please don't delete this. This is perfect fodder on who to block personally and as I will elaborate, I done my time in this community, just let me have my soap box.

Who am I and what give me this authority? (a disclaimer) As stated above I'm up at 4 am, and this is "off early", I work nightshift factory job in middle america who's worked there for 10 years with a long side story I will not bore you with. I found Hasan when he did the breakdown on fb and just liked the way he broke down the news. Is he a perfect person? No. There are many things I wish he didn't do. (Hoobastank) But on the whole, solid person who's world view is refreshing to listen to and I don't lose sleep in supporting my like in him because he tries to be ethical with his spending and its like $5, come on, I can spend $5 to enjoy myself ad free at that top of the hour if I want. I work 12 hour shifts.

But as I said, I work 12 hours, and where Hasan sometimes makes 10 hours of content, I also have other interests and sometimes I'm doing that, sometimes I'm a drama girlie (and it's super sexist if you judge me), sometimes I'm a goblin. And boy howdy how I wish the drama girlies would rally around Hasan because he's chill with QT and Rae, cause then I wouldn't have to do this myself. But alas, we must all sometimes be the change we want to see in the world, and the drama girlies don't know about this filth, so here I am. Youtube channel-less and angry. So I'm gonna vent about the latest drama here for a moment cause I've been sitting on this need since Hasan's biggest mistake, befriend the worlds more admired online deadbead father since Onision, Steven Kenneth Bonnell II (wiki).

The Meat and Potatoes (If you don't want my auto-bio but wanna be a drama goblin with me) I find it ABSOLUTELY INSANE that ANYONE in the dgg orbit thinks they get to get their fucking panties in a twist over "edgy jokes" like mocking Claira "Harassed a woman over a tweet about a cookbook for two years" Sorrenti doing cocaine with a Road Runner gif when she went on a very public bender and harassed every fucking person she could and hides behind being a fucking addict instead of showing even a drop of remorse for her action past the "I want to keep my job and keep calling myself the one true leftist so I'm sorry uwu" video/clip from a stream she didn't even have the time to do on its own, I don't remember but I watched it and she was full of shit cause I don't believe the cocaine bender was 2 years, aka the amount of time she harassed Roslyn Talusan, unless those "tasty noodles" has the flour subbed out with cocaine.

"Oh but but but Hasan said the r slur that one time" harks the orbitor. oh, wow. The community where if I even could edit there is no program around that could make a montauge of the amoung of time even one of your favs has said it, and Hasan has, say it with me, changed and tries not to be a fucking asshole, something you orbitor fucks could never understand.And the most insane of it all is the worse thing you could list of things Hasan REALLY did and has shown zero remorse for, beside the cracker thing, they cheered gleefully because they liked his more dirtbag shit. Hasan having the most unhinged reaction to being asked to not do a fundraiser with Hogwarts Legacy for the trans community, I've never seen them gargle balls harder. WHY?? Cause they wanted to bully Jessie Gender, a truly respectable person.

That was the only real thing. (a bit tongue in cheek I'm too high and this is much longer than I planned on he has done some other things. but they were mouth to sack there too)

"Oh but he was wrong about RUSSIA!!!!!" Do you fire the weather person for being wrong? Shut up.

So to all of them, either get a real job other than being the most annoying online cult or hurry up and drink the coolaid or whatever your own cults endgame is. I've blocked you and you're still leaking through. Idk. Idc. Just leave Hasan Piker Alone.
