they should make dracula daily but for homestuck. drop the very first update on 4/13/2025 and then re-release all updates with a 16 year delay to the original publishing dates. which means that yes, the final update would be posted in 2032. this is not a good idea but someone should do it anyway

They’ve Always Been Watching Us: From COINTELPRO and Martin Luther King, Jr to the NSA’s surveillance program, the US Government has been keeping a close watch on the American Left for a long time.

this is just one example as to why i always say trust al jazeera/aj+ as a reliable source when it comes to palestine, but be very wary of the qatari funded network as they are known for publishing sectarian propaganda in arabic and deceptive info in english on topics that don't pertain to palestine. here's aj+ glorifying sarout:

portraying him as a hero and not mentioning his affiliation with jabhat al nusra or daesh in that tweet because qatar also has a hand in syria. here's the true face and voice of the revolution-- propagandist genocidaire sarout:

people are being institutionalized for taking covid seriously, while simultaneously cases have never been this high this far out from the holidays and more and more evidence comes out all the time that repeated covid infections cause long term damage and long covid, which can easily destroy your life, is common and becomes more common with each infection.

I am so scared of having to go to the hospital as someone with complex health problems.

people can say that all they want but I haven't had a cold since at least 2019 and everybody I know is sick every month or every other month.

The last few years have been so harrowing for me as a person with postviral illness from an infection I got 15 years ago. postviral illness is real and your chance of getting potentially lifelong disability goes up with every infection you get. 70% of people with long covid do not recover.

i think the near-extinction of people making fun, deep and/or unique interactive text-based browser games, projects and stories is catastrophic to the internet. i'm talking pre-itch.io era, nothing against it.

there are a lot of fun ones listed here and here but for the most part, they were made years ago and are now a dying breed. i get why. there's no money in it. factoring in the cost of web hosting and servers, it probably costs money. it's just sad that it's a dying art form.

anyway, here's some of my favorite browser-based interactive projects and games, if you're into that kind of thing. 90% of them are on the lists that i linked above.

A Better World - create an alternate history timeline

Alter Ego - abandonware birth-to-death life simulator game

Seedship - text-based game about colonizing a new planet

Sandboxels or ThisIsSand - free-falling sand physics games

Little Alchemy 2 - combine various elements to make new ones

Infinite Craft - kind of the same as Little Alchemy

ZenGM - simulate sports

Tamajoji - browser-based tamagotchi

IFDB - interactive fiction database (text adventure games)

Written Realms - more text adventure games with a user interface

The Cafe & Diner - mystery game

The New Campaign Trail - US presidential campaign game

Money Simulator - simulate financial decisions

Genesis - text-based adventure/fantasy game

Level 13 - text-based science fiction adventure game

Miniconomy - player driven economy game

Checkbox Olympics - games involving clicking checkboxes

BrantSteele.net - game show and Hunger Games simulators

Murder Games - fight to the death simulator by Orteil

Cookie Clicker - different but felt weird not including it. by Orteil.

if you're ever thinking about making a niche project that only a select number of individuals will be nerdy enough to enjoy, keep in mind i've been playing some of these games off and on for 20~ years (Alter Ego, for example). quite literally a lifetime of replayability.

thinking about everyone with medical conditions doing their damnedest to avoid covid while living with people who could not give less of a shit about getting themselves and other people sick. you're not alone and you deserve better.

The ceasefire agreement was reached and joy is floating among the Palestinian people

[unveilandresist]

Reminder that what was agreed on today is the exact same ceasefire proposal that Hamas agreed on in May of last year. This was possible in May and all the way back in October 2023. There is a reason it's happening now; there's a reason why Biden is talking about it as if it's his own victory.

[unveilandresist]

I hope that people don't forget about gaza once a ceasefire is reached. when the bombs stop falling, they will continue to need food, medicine, doctors, and supplies. the survivors will need aid urgently in the immediate aftermath. there are bodies to be counted, rubble to be cleared, fields to be tilled, buildings to be constructed. even as the people of gaza rebuild their lives, the trauma they've endured from this genocide will stay with them for generations. despite this, they will continue their fight for the liberation of all of palestine, as they always have been, and we must not forget them. the people of gaza will not be free until "israel" no longer exists, until all palestinians can live in their country free from subjugation, with equality and dignity. do not ever let the imperialists that funded and armed this genocide continue to spread lies about the palestinian people. do not ever let anyone forget that they tried to cover up and excuse this genocide at every turn. they will try to do it again. you must stand with the people of palestine forever.

I literally cannot possibly explain how shattered I am because of the absolute lack of giving a shit about covid. it has decimated my closest relationships. people say they support disabled people but when it comes down to the slightest bit of consideration they are fucking gone. it feels more and more every day that we are just supposed to shut the fuck up and die.

being chronically ill when the people closest to you won't take precautions is fucking soul-rending.

my mom, who understands the incredible risks that covid infections cause to all of us (hint listen to science and epidemiologists not politicians or the cdc, they don't give a shit) didn't wear a mask this weekend around my little cousin who is disabled from birth because she didn't want to deal with my aunt and her family who doesn't care.

like...you should still wear a mask? if it's important it's important!!!! care for disabled people is so fucking conditional. my 10 year old cousin couldn't advocate for himself even if he knew exactly how much a risk covid could cause to him (and shouldn't have to because adults should look out for him). I'm so tired of people not giving a shit and I think about the immunocompromised kids who have no agency all the fucking time.

please understand how you are being manipulated by propaganda and give a shit about your fellow humans.

wear a mask to the doctor and pharmacy and grocery store even if you can't at work. please. the fact that masking has been stigmatized has led here in my state of NC. stand with us. wear a mask. we deserve to live and exist in public space.

they are making it illegal to mask at all for anyone here. push back and normalize mask wearing before the whole country is like this. if you don't care about anyone else care about yourself. repeated covid infections have a cumulative effect and absolutely cause long term disability.

did u know: wearing a mask some of the time is better than not wearing one!

did u know: wearing a mask now, even if u have to get back into the habit, is better than not wearing one!

did u know: wearing any mask, including comfortable cloth, is better than not wearing one!

did u know: good disposable masks are cheap and readily available in a variety of colors and styles! and they can be used several times! so long as they are clean and dry, and the elastic works, you can wear them again!

did u know: 'imperfect' protection can still slow, weaken, or stop the transmission of infection! it's worth it!

did u know: covid can linger on air particles, behaving like smoke. that's why air ventilation, purifiers, and face masking are so effective!

we know more about covid than we did 5 years ago. we have more effective seasonal vaccines. we can use more effective methods to stop the ongoing spread. and we can treat covid to reduce the potential complications.

it's not too late to protect yourself and others from covid and flu! mask up to protect your friends, family, and neighbors 💖
