People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

Edit: if you are able, use $5 you would otherwise use for a streaming subscription to donate to a GazaFunds campaign.

if you’re ever in the position to choose between giving up and accepting defeat, and actually trying to fight the ancient unkillable god that is about to peel apart reality like a string cheese, remember this: scientifically speaking, you might as well give it a shot!

1.there were trees at the beginning of the world! there were trees so long ago that they predate bacteria that causes wood to decay. when a tree fell, it would lie there in stasis and there wasn’t any way of breaking down wood xylem on a molecular level in that way.

2. it seems obvious to say, but wood eating bacteria are literally incapable of comprehending what they’re breaking down. It’s just not information conciously available to a microorganism. they don’t know what they’re deconstructing, where it came from, bacteria have no way to even fathom the existence of a tree as a concept.

3. Regardless of the facts above, the world we live in today is a world where wood inevitably decomposes

it is worth fighting the unkillable god no matter how pointless it seems. it is worth taking the risk even though youre trying to accomplish something impossible. the reality in which you live was also once reality in which trees didn’t rot. You live in a reality that allows for existence before the possibility of destruction. you live in a reality where uncomprehending microbes break down matter that is so far beyond the scope of their comprehension that it feels comical to specify something so obvious. you live in a reality that occasionally allows unshakeable physical truths to be altered with no warning.

It is worth fighting the unkillable god because trees are so old they predate the source of their destruction, and it still did not spare them. It is worth fighting the unkillable god because bacteria rots unthinkingly, because there is room in our cosmos for destruction without comprehension on the part of the destroyer. It is worth fighting the unkillable god because now and then reality retracts the promise of immortality without fanfare, and when that happens there is no mercy for the ancient. the unmaking is not softer for the desecrators ignorance. for all things, existence is endless until the exact point where it ends.

so you might as well try to kill the unkillable god. it doesn’t seem likely, but at the beginning of the world, trees didn’t rot. so you never know! you never know

Attention Pennsylvania voters!

Senator Bob Casey’s race is now at a margin of 0.53%.

An automatic recount in PA is triggered with a margin of 0.5%. That’s a difference of 0.03% or a little over 2,000 votes. We need to make sure every ballot is counted here, and there’s thousands of uncounted ballots right now due to voter error.

Did you mail in a ballot? Check to see it was accepted here:

If it says anything other than accepted/counted/etc, your ballot needs your attention. A mistake in filling it out means that your ballot will not count unless you “cure” it. Check your county’s curing policies:

See full instructions for curing by county here.

You have until November 12 to cure your ballot in PA.

Do you know someone who mailed in a PA ballot? Please pass these links on to them. You may be the difference between their vote counting or not in a super close race.

Everyone else, you can help PA voters cure their ballots. If you live in Pennsylvania, you can help canvass in your county (see links in this thread). If you are in another state, you can sign up to call voters and help them cure by phone.

Want to help another state? Sign up for a shift through November 19.

Trivia, Mother of the 777 Triflings

The Context: Deity for a Dungeon World campaign.

The World: in this world, spirits are akin to lesser deities, inspired by things like Worlds Beyond Number: The Wizard, The Witch and the Wild One, japanese Kami and general animistic polytheism, in which every little thing can have a spirit associated with it.

"Bless her benevolence, for lady Trivia did not have to be so kind. But could it have been any other way, I wonder ? Could one bearing the Divine Title -the Midwife of Mercy- turn a blind eye to spirits so small in stature and domain ? No, I suppose not. Of course, what she was called actually back then we don't know, nor is that title one she uses these days. But it doesn't matter, for through her Seven Hundred and Seven adopted little orphans, she is never want for a Divine Title.

The people of the north call her Lucta, the lady of fortune, with her 777 underlings she sends to do her biding, and bring small fortune or misfortune to the days of mortals.

Whatever the case, a prayer to her name can be heard anywhere where a small misfortune has run amock pestering mortals, in the hopes she will recall it with a mother's disaproving glare"

Trivia, originally a spirit of motherhood, kind deeds small and big, now spirit of luck and all sorts of small domains no big spirit holds. Every temple that respects itself will have a shrine to Trivia and the Triflings, sometimes separate (but rarer).

Domains of her children deities include: - carelessly unfastened saddlebags, and forgotten tattered flags. - a tree falling of its own accord, any blemish in the blade of a sword. - those crunchy bits, leftover from frying,any secret that takes some prying. - thinking fondly of first loves, lonely and un-mated gloves. - to propagate a plant from cutting, or help a swollen door start shutting. - many many more etc.

The above domains taken by d4caltrops blog, trully inspiring me to write this powerful spirit (who maybe my players one day find).

What do y'all think ?

regarding the attempts to take down mohammed ayesh's campaign by zionists on the false claim that his campaign is fraudulent, i've spoken to him directly over the past few months. we've exchanged voice notes, i've heard the sound of drones in the background in his notes, he's sent me videos from where he'd been taking shelter explaining his situation in real time, he's shown me his process of verifying campaigns and has explained to me how hesitant he felt about making a campaign for to support his younger brother when he feels that there are many more gazans in need of all the support that they can get. he's been nothing but respectful and understanding since i've started talking to him.

if any of you zionist pigs really gave a fuck about supposed scams, i have ample evidence via our text and voice messages with him to prove he's really been working on the ground in gaza to verify countless campaigns. but obviously that's not what you racist pieces of shit are actually trying to do here, as if proudly endorsing a genocide isn't enough for you repulsive cunts, you're actively trying to murder palestinians in any way that you can, be that by propagandizing on behalf of a fascist settler colonial state or literally trying to cut off any source of income palestinians can rely on. go to hell.

It becomes clear that the last covid wave (brought on by spring festivals and carnevals and such where I live) has left people with both a stubborn cough (classical) and/or with thoroughly stubborn mucus in their sinuses. So stubborn that most medication that normally clears that up has not worked more than partially or temporarily.

So, if you had a ""cold"" and now have issues with mucus in your sinuses:

Consider wearing a mask in public. You probably had covid, and now have a compromised immune system for at least the next 6 months and probably longer. Consider avoiding super spreader events (EM, concerts, bars, conventions) or at least wear a mask so you're less likely to both get and spread covid at those events. Consider also getting the new covid vaccine come fall, or now if you hadn't before. It's not just a booster, it's based on the omicron variant instead. You should get it, because you now have a higher chance of getting disabled by long covid with your next covid infection, and any protection from getting infected helps lower that risk, as well as vaccination lowering the risk for developing long covid.

And if you're scared of social repercussions: At least wear it when you're sick or anyone close to you is sick. I'm begging actually.

I remember all the people during lockdown who said they would definitely wear a mask even for the regular cold after the pandemic has ended, because they now have the knowledge and means to not breath germs onto other people while actively infectious.

Where are y'all now? The pandemic hasn't even ended yet and almost no one is wearing a mask when sick.

Where is everyone who said that masks while sick should become the new normal?

Please don't even bother to feel guilty for not doing it so far, you fell for worldwide misinformation campaigns. Just start wearing a mask again and get all your covid vaccines.

Your actions are more important and way more impactful than your moral purity. Please just make wearing FFP2/N95 masks when sick and/or in high risk situations your new normal.

PS: (Edit to add my tags)

The worldwide misinformation campaigns are by capitalism. If anyone adds anything antisemitic on my post you're getting reported.

I'm writing again to bring attention to the GFM campaign of @salahahmed90 (Salah) and @salahmanarfamily (Manar), the parents of two young children in Gaza.

Here's an updated Salah posted last night, after he and his family were displaced for the sixth time:

Please help us, we are being subjected to genocide in Gaza. Hours ago, a house was bombed next to the place where we are and escaped death miraculously. Help us get out of Gaza in order to preserve our children.

Though Salah and Manar started out with the hopes of rebuilding, they've now made the difficult choice to begin saving up for an evacuation. Their campaign, however, is still very low on funds, and its been stagnating completely for the last few days, leaving them with barely enough for their immediate survival.

-> GFM link

The campaign has been verified by @/90-ghost.

If you can, please consider donating. Even a small contribution can make a big difference for the family.

Currently: €3,650 / €70,000

"Orym looks waaay up Caduceus's body." | Campaign 3, episode 111

Point of view: You are three apples tall and you are faced with something so big that your halfling body can barely grasp what it's looking at.

Orym and Caduceus are canonically the smallest and the tallest people between Bells Hells and the Mighty Nein, and I had way too much fun drawing my interpretation of Orym's perspective next to a giant-kin.

Also, there is this video going around of a tortoise being gently nudged by a giraffe as it is fleeing in terror, and I want you to think about that for a sec.
