— in which children's books are there "mucklor"?
“MUCKLORNA” – IN ENGLISH KNOWN AS “mucks” – was created by Swedish author Sven Nordqvist (1946–) for his children’s books of Pettson och Findus in 1984. The books are about a man, his cat and their adventures on a farm. The creatures have existed in every book, but it was until När Findus var liten och försvann (2001) the name mucklor was used.
What a muckla is, is not entirely known. As depicted by the books, mucklor are small animals, usually, they stand on their hind legs, have long ears and a long nose, and a tail. Their fur (?) can vary in colour: green, orange and red are some examples. It can be suggested that “mucklor” is the name for their species, as when two mucklor are talking to each other they mention their names, Plums and Kuling.
A thing that is interesting about the creatures is that Findus – besides the reader – is the only one who can see them. Pettsson cannot, which has created some problems as mucklor likes to steal Pettsson’s socks for fun. The mucklor never seems to speak or affect the story either, although they are often seen hiding on every page. In fact, the only book in the series where they actually do interact with the story is in the before mentioned När Findus var liten och försvann (2001).
The book was published in 2001. It tells the story of when Pettsson decided to get a cat and the first time after Findus moved in. Findus, as the curious cat he is, decided to go on a little adventure around his house. Going through a hole in the stair to the attic, Findus sees two mucklor and greets them. The text does not mention them and instead only says what the cat does next. He continues forward and is now at the back of the house, where a badger scares him into a wooden box. He starts to cry but then he hears small voices. This is the first time mucklorna are mentioned:
There were two such animals that lived in the house. Findus had met such before. They could appear anywhere, so he didn’t think it was strange that they were suddenly inside his box.
Mucklorna tries to comfort him and they tell a tale of when they found a cat in a box. “Once upon a time there was a muckla” the other one says. Findus asks if they can help Pettsson find him, but they answer that they can’t as Pettsson cannot see them. Although, they can give him clues as to where Findus is.
At the same time as Findus is being comforted by mucklorna, Pettsson is looking for him. He has looked inside the house but cannot find the cat, so he needs to go outside and keep looking. But when he is looking for his socks and shoes, he can’t find them either. As mentioned before, mucklorna likes to steal Pettsson’s things and put them in a new place. Pettson walks outside to his garden and sees his shoes and socks in the grass laid out like arrows pointing to the corner of the house. There he finds more of his things before he sees the badger (which runs away) and soon he discovers Findus in the box.

Hypothetical scenario: someone is on Ao3, looking for fanfiction to read. This person only speaks/reads English, and they set the language filter to only show fics written in English.

I feel like the age of having a "burner email" is gone. Out of curiosity,
#emails#i know this is a boring question but im curious#my mom was thrown off when i told her i have burner emails when i shop online so i don't get my personal email stolen/sold#i remember in like 2010s internet i feel like it was weirder to NOT have burner emails#but i don't hear anyone talk about them anymore so i'm curious#but if people are using tiktok and chat-gpt as search engines then maybe burner emails haven't even crossed their minds

how i feel about all the changes in s3
#listen i understand complaints and feeling disappointed but y’all gotta remember there’s always the og campaign#there were questionable choices definetly but being negative about it on the internet just does disservice to all the good stuff#it ain’t perfect i miss the group kill but i’m honestly blaming steaming’s whole ‘every season must be the same length’ model#like this season really could’ve used an extra 3 episodes but alas! they made it as solid as possible for tv in that time!#tlovm#critical role#the legend of vox machina#tlovm season 3#also kiki resurrecting percy near and dear to my heart but also the vax percy bond and getting to see more of percy’s torment mmmm#also the cr cast are clearly having fun with it so its not like some foreign entity is committing sacrilege when they change stuff!

Oh, you know, just the usual internet browsing experience in the year of 2024
Some links and explanations since I figured it might be useful to some people, and writing down stuff is nice.
First of all, get Firefox. Yes, it has apps for Android/iOS too. It allows more extensions and customization (except the iOS version), it tracks less, the company has a less shitty attitude about things. Currently all the other alternatives are variations of Chromium, which means no matter how degoogled they supposedly are, Google has almost a monopoly on web browsing and that's not great. Basically they can introduce extremely user unfriendly updates and there's nothing forcing them to not do it, and nowhere for people to escape to. Current examples of their suggested updates are disabling/severly limiting adblocks in June 2024, and this great suggestion to force sites to verify "web environment integrity" ("oh you don't run a version of chromium we approve, such as the one that runs working adblocks? no web for you.").
uBlockOrigin - barely needs any explanation but yes, it works. You can whitelist whatever you want to support through displaying ads. You can also easily "adblock" site elements that annoy you. "Please log in" notice that won't go away? Important news tm sidebar that gives you sensory overload? Bye.
Dark Reader - a site you use has no dark mode? Now it has. Fairly customizable, also has some basic options for visually impaired people.
SponsorBlock for YouTube - highlights/skips (you choose) sponsored bits in the videos based on user submissions, and a few other things people often skip ("pls like and subscribe!"). A bit more controversial than normal adblock since the creators get some decent money from this, but also a lot of the big sponsors are kinda scummy and offer inferior product for superior price (or try to sell you a star jpg land ownership in Scotland to become a lord), so hearing an ad for that for the 20th time is kinda annoying. But also some creators make their sponsored segments hilarious.
Privacy Badger (and Ghostery I suppose) - I'm not actually sure how needed these are with uBlock and Firefox set to block any tracking it can, but that's basically what it does. Find someone more educated on this topic than me for more info.
Https Everywhere - I... can't actually find the extension anymore, also Firefox has this as an option in its settings now, so this is probably obsolete, whoops.
Facebook Container - also comes with Firefox by default I think. Keeps FB from snooping around outside of FB. It does that a lot, even if you don't have an account.
WebP / Avif image converter - have you ever saved an image and then discovered you can't view it, because it's WebP/Avif? You can now save it as a jpg.
YouTube Search Fixer - have you noticed that youtube search has been even worse than usual lately, with inserting all those unrelated videos into your search results? This fixes that. Also has an option to force shorts to play in the normal video window.
Consent-O-Matic - automatically rejects cookies/gdpr consent forms. While automated, you might still get a second or two of flashing popups being yeeted.
XKit Rewritten - current most up to date "variation "fork" of XKit I think? Has settings in extension settings instead of an extra tumblr button. As long as you get over the new dash layout current tumblr is kinda fine tbh, so this isn't as important as in the past, but still nice. I mostly use it to hide some visual bloat and mark posts on the dash I've already seen.
YouTube NonStop - do you want to punch youtube every time it pauses a video to check if you're still there? This saves your fists.
uBlacklist - blacklists sites from your search results. Obviously has a lot of different uses, but I use it to hide ai generated stuff from image search results. Here's a site list for that.
Redirect AMP to HTML - redirects links from their amp version to the normal version. Amp link is a version of a site made faster and more accessible for phones by Bing/Google. Good in theory, but lets search engines prefer some pages to others (that don't have an amp version), and afaik takes traffic from the original page too. Here's some more reading about why it's an issue, I don't think I can make a good tl;dr on this.
Also since I used this in the tags, here's some reading about enshittification and why the current mainstream internet/services kinda suck.
#modern internet is great#enshittification#internet browsing#idk how to tag this#but i hope it will help someone#personal#question mark

hang on. there’s no way we’re revitalizing “are [cishet] aro people queer” discourse. it is almost 20-fucking-24. no. say sike right now. you’re all fucking ridiculous. how are we not only not over this, but bringing it up for active discourse again. and acting like the things being said are common discussion and not. blatant aphobia. which is homophobia. it’s queerphobia. did we never fucking learn from the many “they want us to fight amongst ourselves because if we’re divided it’s easier to ruin us” type talks that everyone was making a while ago. or was that a phase too. what happened to “anything not heteronormative is what queer is. anything with romance/sex/gender that’s othered from what society deems the “norm” is what we are. we are a community of outcasts because the greater community doesn’t want us either way.” what the shit.
#cishet in brackets because that was the prompting poll question#but i know the internet well enough. i know ‘discussions’ are probably getting ‘broader’ on this as we speak#and yes before someone gets on me for my probably inaccurate quotes#i’m not saying this was done by ‘the big man’ to split us up but.#discourse within the queer community ABOUT just who can be in the queer community has always weakened us#and has ALWAYS completely missed why/how we’re a community as a whole.#grace being kinda serious for once#text post#lgbtq#aromantic#aromantism#aphobia#lgbtq community#arospec

every year people get angry when ao3 requests donations but honestly in a world where almost all spaces online are slowly being eaten by corporations which censor the content on those sites, having a fan-run fan-sponsored place where people can create gay art without fear is great
#ao3#i understand the frustration when donation posts are not getting funding#while ao3 does#but ultimately you can't control how people spend their money and having a space like this for#people to preserve writing even if its silly fanfiction is a good thing#archives are very useful and important and preserving a space of the internet for works created out of joy and passion#is not a bad thing#urging people do donate to any random donation post instead of ao3 is reckless when it's incredibly hard to verify#the source of the donation posts and whether its legit#unless of course you know the person in question

— on which building sits big ben?
Some of the United Kingdoms’s most famous buildings are Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge – and Big Ben. The structure is an icon of British culture and is one of the country’s most prominent symbols. What is not usually not thought about is that we use “Big Ben” as the name for both the tower and its biggest bell. The largest bell is formally known as the Great Bell or the Great Bell of Westminister. Therefore, the question is, on which building sits Big Ben?
THE LOCATION The bell nicknamed “Big Ben” sits on the Elizabeth Tower, previously known as St Stephen’s Tower or the Clock Tower. The tower itself is located at the north end of the Palace of Westminister in London. This location is important to understand the history of the tower.

incredibly self-insert at the moment but
silly lil completely normal and understandable au where anakin moves to a new country and he's got most all of the complex paperwork and documentation sorted so he thinks he's doing great but for some reason he cannot for the life of him figure out how to use the appliances in his apartment. and this is doubly gutting because he's usually very good at this sort of thing! he has a degree in chemical engineering for gods sake, why can't he logic out how to turn on his shower or unlock the washing machine after a wash cycle???
not one to admit defeat, he googles basic questions like 'how turn on radiator stewjon' and 'common oven hieroglyphs stewjon' and finds this youtube channel where this older (hot hot very attractive hot) man named obi-wan films himself doing basic things like going to the store and messing about with his car's oil and also explaining basic appliances and how they work in stewjon
and anakin is addicted. he is in love. he watches all of them. he doesn't even own an iron but now he knows how to use a stewjoni one and obi-wan even gave him tips about how to look his best (like what colors go together and how he should never wear brown shoes with black pants, etc)
meanwhile obi-wan kenobi had to make these videos like five years ago as community service for some minor crime (like murdering his neighbor's plants because they kept getting pollen on his car) and he's very confused when he opens his mailbox one day to a piece of...fan mail?
#kit's silly lil aus#obikin#obi-wan of course is old and crotchety and knows nothing about internet safety#so his address was incredibly easy for anakin to find#for fanmail purposes#surprisingly mr kenobi is not reassured by this fact#when anakin tells him earnestly#anyway yeah ive had to google all these questions#to different levels of effectiveness#my radiator is still not on tho#al on youtube has failed me#or even worse#i have failed al on youtube
