#verification marks

[iamnathannah]

For a quick change of pace, have a new Twitter thread of Rory's lesbian awakening coming (multiple times) before her Yale graduation, which definitely wasn't ruined by Logan's proposal (though now she's wondering how many orgasms were ruined by his very existence in her life). Inspired by some random Wicked thread started this way, and with ALT text commentary.

(Yes I considered Glorbie for this one but I think we all know El Esposo would just congratulate Barbie for going down on Gloria properly because he never could out of fear he'd break her; he was too proper of a gentlemen)

[themuskrater]

Facebook and Instagram now have PAID VERIFICATIONS

They really saw Twitter burning to the ground and said, "Wow! What a great idea!"

[mortalityplays]

huge uptick recently in people playing the put-upon martyred voice of reason going "umm are we allowed to point out that 99% of the fundraiser DMs are probably scammers yet or will I be murdered with rocks and knives and called a racist nazi and cast into the street for dogs to eat?" and straight up posting screenshots of spelling errors and translation mistakes to laugh at like we haven't had this basic fucking conversation repeatedly for the last year and a half

I'm not sure you guys recognise that almost every fundraiser I share under my 'vetted fundraisers' tag is one that has been sent to me via DM. the reason you don't recognise that is because I don't directly post the DM I received (no shade on those who do, just pointing out what you don't see!) I go out of my way to individually check the vetted status of the campaign, and then I share the person's pinned post or whatever version I can find that seems to have the most complete information/vetting credentials.

I would estimate maybe 1 in 8 of the messages I investigate end up having no verification source associated with them at all – and that doesn't mean they're scammers, mind you, just that they are unvetted. A few are 'vetted by association' (vouched for by someone in gaza who has been vetted, usually a relative) and I mark these as such. The vast majority are vetted, often by multiple sources. Many of them are names I see again and again, who have been reaching out for help since January or February or even earlier. The gofundmes are donor protected, some have multiple committed supporters who have been in regular contact with them for months.

If you don't see this stuff, it’s because you don't look. And part of the reason people don't look is because this insidious 'hmm why would someone frightened for their life use DMs to promote their fundraiser' 'umm emojis? to catch my attention? something fishy here' 'personally I just think anyone who needs financial aid should speak fluent english first' bullshit keeps worming its way into common discourse and making it acceptable to just assume your prejudices and anxieties are justified.

So yes actually I do think it's racist to reflexively assume anyone who reaches out to you using google translate to beg for their life is a grifter. I do think it's disgusting to absolve yourself of making the effort to recognise real people in crisis just because you think emojis are tacky or AI art is vulgar or whatever. Get a grip. Nobody can force you to care but stop mewling and snickering about something you can't even be bothered to investigate in good faith.

What do Beyoncé and Pope Francis have in common? As of today, they are no longer verified on Twitter.

The social media giant began removing the once-coveted blue check verification from thousands of accounts on Thursday.

The move comes as owner Elon Musk attempts to overhaul the social media company to turn a profit.

Help Siraj care for 5 families and rebuild his life.

Summary: Siraj's current short-term goal is for buying water purifying tools to help prevent the 10 children in his family from getting Polio (which is life-threatening).

Update: Sep 6

Member: @siraj2024

Verification: #219 on the Vetted Evacuation Fundraiser spreadsheet.

Payment methods: Credit/debit, Paypal (contact @/malcriada. Details here, scroll down to 'Note' section)

Current progress:

CAD $66,375 69,084 / 70,000 (by Sep 5. Overdue!)

/ 82,000 (long term goal)

Campaign/family details:

Siraj is a journalist and struggling as the sole provider for 5 families of 23 people.

His family home was destroyed and the members were displaced 7 times.

Skin infections are common in Gaza due to people living in close proximity and high hygiene prices. Siraj's family were not spared from this, but our contributions helped improve their hygiene and provide medical care.

Sep 3 update:

This post says it better than I can, but mine is the shorter version and has some info about Polio.

Infrastructure breakdown lead to contaminated water, which poliovirus spreads through. It was found in Gaza's wastewater recently, marking the reemergence of the life-threatening disease of Polio after 25 years of absence. 2 articles: here and here

Children are primarily at risk as many are not fully vaccinated. They are either too young and/or Oct 7 interrupted the schedule.

Siraj is now responsible for 10 children and can no longer put off buying a submersible water generator and network tools to ensure that his family has access to clean water.

Note: I do not often make posts for campaigns I am not focusing on, and I won't be updating this unless told to. I encourage others to adopt this campaign (because I can't right now) and make sure it gets the traction it needs.

Here's a replacement for "It's MYSHUNO!"

BINGO Default

& Recolors

Download: MEGA | SFS

polycount: 2025 (console) & 120 (ball)

Note: it will clash with other Bingo machine replacements, BUT it can be used along Myshuno cube and marker accessory defaults. My recolors obviously are not compatible with original mesh.

Update: Epi's Myshuno Fix is obligatory ;)

Enjoy!

*This is for The Sims 2

I solved this floating plumbob issue. I also edited two animations to lower the jumping ball - but for some reason the first time the ball jumps out of the machine (and also at the ending sequence) - it's too high. I tried to fix it but decided it's not that much of a problem.

This default includes GMDC, CRES, SHPE, TXMTs, texture resources for the machine (512x512, 256x256 spec map, 512x128 glass) and for the 'ball' - 128x128 px. Plus two ANIM resources. Bingo console is compatible with kitchen counter OMSP.

Fun facts: the 'plumbob' thingy is actually three GMDCs: an effect, the animated non-handheld object and handheld plumbob accessory.

Resource names use the name: ToyMyshoeNoh while other use Maishuno, and inside OBJD resource you can find the name Bingo. Most catalogue description translations named this object "MYSHUNO!" or similar, I think it's only translated to "BINGO!" in Italian (?)

If you never used this object: one Sim becomes the caller ("Call" option), while the rest is engaged as players - when directed to "play", Sims will take only the seats facing the Bingo console, unless you have Epi's fix for it.

From Wikipedia: bingo is a game of chance in which each player matches the numbers printed in different arrangements on cards. The game host (known as a caller) draws balls at random, marking the selected numbers with tiles. When a player finds that the selected numbers are arranged on their card in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line, they call out "Bingo!" to alert all participants to a winning card, which prompts the game host (or an associate assisting the host) to examine the card for verification of the win. Players compete against one another to be the first to have a winning arrangement for the prize or jackpot. After a winner is declared, the players clear their number cards of the tiles and the game host begins a new round of play.

what are they like/first time in bed with HSR men

PART 1: AVENTURINE x F!READER

info & warnings: nsfw/smut, MDNI, aventurine x female bodied! reader, slightly ooc probably, fingering, mentions of cock warming, marking/hickeys, p in v, top aventurine, bottom reader, mentions of riding & gagging, this is long asl, mentions of his past, kinda fluffy in parts, just read it for urself 😓 also this kind of sucks because im still a beginner at writing fics like this!!

aventurine LOVES the thrill, fingering you under a table at the casino? hell yeah. having you sit on his lap ‘innocently’ while you cock warm him? say less. this guy also loves marking you up, to show everybody that you belong to him, it’s also just a display of his true love for you!

i feel like he would have certain kinks that you’d be a bit shocked by- like you knew he was crazy because of his gambling tactics(“i’ll bet my life”), but when he asked you to gag him while you ride his cock .. well, you just weren’t expecting it- but you were into it to be completely honest. then bondage was also a big one of his, he liked tying you up with soft silk ribbons and seeing your pudge get squeezed lightly- and this man likes it too no doubt, tie his wrists up and he’s all yours.

but it took a long time to get to this level of intimacy with him- considering his past traumas. so sex was a big milestone for him, especially with someone as beautiful as you.

most people considered him untrustworthy, and a con artist considering his job as a stoneheart and the mask he puts on. but with you? god. he felt like he could just talk to you normally, and actually relax his shoulders for once.

so the first time with him was very soft and honestly.. oddly romantic?

like roses on the bed type- and that’s stuff he never expected to do for anyone.

“you’re beautiful, [name]..” he would murmur, his head in your neck peppering soft wet kisses, as you straddled his lap on the bed, your head tilted away so he had full access. “says you,” you would tease back playfully, letting out gentle hums of the feeling of his lips on you.

it was slow and sensual, hovering above you now, once he had prepped you with his fingers and stroked himself off for a moment he held your hips, making eye contact with you before he actually put his member inside.

“can i?” he asked you, although you and himself knew it was an obvious yes, he still wanted verification.

“yes, love,” you said, smiling softly at him as he reached his hand over to caress your cheek before sliding back down to your hip.

he nodded slowly, before taking one hand off your hip and lining himself up with his cock and your pussy, before pushing in and he’d be lying if he said he didn’t feel like cumming right then and there, you already felt so good. you would let out the softest of moans as he pushed in your walls a little further, waiting for you to nod and tell him it was okay to move further in.

“you feel good, fuck.. you feel really good,” he would curse under his breath, letting out breathless sounds of his own. “do you feel good?” his eyes darted up to you- he’d been watching the way you sucked him in for a little too long.

“yeah- yeah, you can move av,”you said reassuringly, in reality you felt butterflies everywhere, your core tightening around his thick cock like a vice already, and you couldn’t wait for him to speed up.

once he heard your confirmation he held onto your hips a bit tighter, allowing himself to go further and finally bottom out.

“ahh-” he let out a moan, biting his lip. you absolutely loved the sight of him, he was truly gorgeous to you. but hell, you already sounded breathless just from a few thrusts.

“baby, faster,” you huffed out, that got a soft chuckle out of him and he nodded, his thumb that was slowly caressing your hip stopped and tightened once again, before he slowly pumped himself inside of you, going halfway out, to the point he could see his slick shaft, before pounding straight back in. it was slow- but it had a definite rough intent with the way your flesh smacked together, making a loud echo.

“fuuuuck.. you feel-… hah,” he panted, going in and out now with an actual pace, but you get the gist of how he’d be, and obviously he had protection.(never forget protection!)

so once that level of trust was established in your guys’ relationship, sexual pleasure became an actual big thing for you both, especially when he’d be gone for a while on trips for the ipc.(once he came home from penacony let’s just say.. best dick you’ve ever gotten from him..)

he had missed you so much! when you both reunited he hugged you tightly, just wanting to feel you in his arms and kiss your lips, to be able to feel and smell your scent again.

usually after, the sex would be rough and very loud, not even words anymore, just his shameless moans mixed with yours as he bent you into a pretzel. but!! it’s just a representation of how badly he needed you over his time away.

he usually says it under his breath, but almost everytime you guys finish, he says “gaiathra has truly blessed me with you,” and it always brings a smile to your face- well, when you can comprehend one.

the end✍️✍️ sorry if this was really lame i just felt like writing this and i also would like to make this a series because star rail men are dndbdbdbbxkskri😍, feel free to request who you’d like to see!! and i’m also always open to criticism and suggestions on how to write better or what to write!
