#Artists Support Artists

Hello loves! A side note while I struggle to the finish line of a new Method to Madness chapter (mark the STRUGGLE!), but one of us needs our help!

There are very few of the HH fandom in general, and even less of the ones in love with RadioApple, that don't know the fic 'Ruination of Lucifer' from the talented @syaunei! I've read along since the earliest chapters and come Sunday I feel a persistant itch to refresh my AO3 bookmark to see if it updated. Sadly, the most important tool of a Fanfiction writer broke for her: Her Laptop. Meaning that Ruination has to slow down and take a break from being uploaded.

I've seen firsthand what the fandom community can do, and I truly believe that #ArtistssupportArtists is more than just words on the bottom of posts! So if you love Ruination and are able to - I think it would be wonderful to show a writer that the community can rally together and help in need! Any bit and piece helps, and from experience: We are so so so amazingly potent in numbers!

Here is her Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/syaunei

And if you aren't in a situation where you can help financially - spreading the word and showing 'Ruination of Lucifer' some love and appreciation in the AO3 comment section will just as well help, keep the spirits up and carry through the forced hiatus!

Let's make it a habit of spreading love, however which way <3 We can show that our favorite writers are not forgotten and well loved!

Kicking Off Our Mission to Fix the U.S. Budget: You’re the Key!

Hey there, awesome folks! 😄 Are you tired of hearing that the U.S. budget is in chaos? You’re not alone. The government’s dropping a whopping $6.9 trillion every year but only pulling in $4.9 trillion. That leaves a massive $1.8 trillion hole called the deficit—think of it as a giant credit card bill piling up fast. It’s a problem, but here’s the exciting part: you have the power to help fix…

A few days ago reddit user, JoinHomeFront aka Josh Smith, finished the first version of an app they've been working on since November 5th. It's called Homefront and you can join it at https://joinhomefront.org.

Several people here asked for updates on its launch, and while they tried replying to those comments, they encountered a shadowban which prevented them from posting updates as usual; wild, since they were simply replying specifically to people who asked for the link when it launched. they planned to share from their main account once it launched, but that wasn’t possible.

What Homefront offers now: Right now, the app features a to-do list with ideas on how to prepare yourself, your family, and your community in the face of authoritarianism. I’m actively working on new features like:

Sharing resources: books, links, videos, and more

Mapping threats in real-time

Connecting with people nearby

Organizing securely into groups

Pre-built templates for organizing

Your support:

You’ll notice a donation option within the app. Although Homefront is fully open source and contributions are welcome, the development has so far been self-funded. If you’re able and willing to spare a few dollars, your support would be invaluable in keeping this project alive and evolving.

Technical contributions:

If you're a developer and would be interested in volunteering your time, the app is on GitHub at https://github.com/joinhomefront/homefront. The app is React Native with TypeScript, tRPC, PostgreSQL with Kysely, using NativeWind for styling. The README is not up-to-date but I will be trying to update it post-haste.

Feedback Welcome:

I’d love to hear your feedback, ideas, or report any issues. Please feel free to comment below or send me a message.

Thank you for your support, and I hope Homefront can become a valuable resource for all of us.

for more information, please see the original reddit post

Women's March Interviews – Voices of Resistance (2017)

In this powerful 2017 interview, we sit down with several inspiring women who attended the Women's March the day after Trump's inauguration. With their unique perspectives and heartfelt insights, these older women share their concerns about the state of our democracy, illustrating how their experiences raising toddlers have equipped them to recognize the “tantrums” of a “man-baby” in power.  As we revisit their thoughts, it becomes clear that their insights remain alarmingly relevant today—especially as we face the potential consequences of Project 2025 and the rise of MAGA politics. These women offer a blend of humor and wisdom that underscores the urgency of voting and standing up for our rights.  Join us in re-sharing these interviews leading up to the 2024 election. It's time to get out and VOTE WOKE! Your voice matters now more than ever.

Team Fortress 2 (TF2), the beloved multiplayer first-person shooter from Valve, continues to be a source of frustration for its dedicated player base. While the game maintains a sizeable active community in 2024, long-standing issues, particularly the rampant presence of bots, have driven players to take drastic measures. A recent surge of negative reviews on Steam reflects the community's growing desperation to get Valve's attention and revive their cherished game. Team Fortress 2 A Legacy Tarnished: The Bot Crisis in TF2 For years, TF2 has grappled with a significant problem: bots, or artificially intelligent virtual players, that infiltrate servers and disrupt gameplay. These bots often exhibit superhuman aim and utilize disruptive tactics, ruining the experience for legitimate players. The Rise of the Bot Mafia The bot situation in TF2 has become more complex in recent times. A disturbing trend has emerged where some players, acting as bot entrepreneurs, manipulate the system for personal gain. These individuals deploy bots to terrorize servers, then offer a "protection racket" to server owners. Essentially, they extort server owners by demanding payment in exchange for ceasing their bot attacks. The sophistication of these bots has also increased. Beyond possessing exceptional aim, they can now actively kick players from servers. With a coordinated bot attack, legitimate players lose the ability to vote them out due to their overwhelming numbers. Echoes of the Past: A Community Remembers a Successful Stand This isn't the first time the TF2 community has taken action against the bot crisis. In 2020, a similar campaign garnered significant attention, prompting Valve to implement measures to combat bots. However, these efforts appear to have fallen short, and the bot problem has resurfaced with renewed force. A Call to Arms: Negative Reviews Flood Steam Frustrated by the lack of response and the continued decline of their beloved game, the TF2 community has resorted to a novel strategy. In a desperate attempt to get Valve's attention, players have begun bombarding the game's Steam page with negative reviews. This coordinated effort aims to highlight the severity of the bot issue and pressure Valve into taking decisive action. Can the Community Save Team Fortress 2? The success of this latest campaign remains to be seen. While negative reviews can undoubtedly damage a game's reputation, it's unclear if this tactic will be enough to motivate Valve to prioritize TF2. A Hope for Resolution Despite the current challenges, the TF2 community's unwavering passion is an undeniable force. Their collective voice, amplified by negative reviews and social media campaigns, underscores the enduring love for this classic title. The hope lies in the possibility that Valve will acknowledge the community's concerns and take concrete steps to address the bot problem. This could involve implementing more robust anti-cheat measures, improving bot detection algorithms, or increasing communication with the community regarding ongoing efforts. Beyond the Reviews: A Look at the Future of TF2 The current situation surrounding TF2 serves as a cautionary tale for developers of online multiplayer games. It highlights the importance of ongoing maintenance and community engagement. Here are some key takeaways: Maintaining a Healthy Ecosystem: Addressing issues like bots and cheaters promptly is crucial for fostering a positive player experience. The Power of Community: A dedicated player base can be a valuable asset, but their frustrations need to be acknowledged and addressed. Communication is Key: Transparent communication between developers and players is essential for building trust and maintaining a thriving online community. A Plea for Help: Will Valve Hear the Community's Cry? Team Fortress 2, a cornerstone of the online multiplayer landscape, finds itself at a crossroads. The community's desperate measures, reflected in the surge of negative reviews, speak volumes about their love for the game and their desire to see it revived. Whether Valve will heed this call to action remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the fight to save Team Fortress 2 continues. FAQs What is the problem with Team Fortress 2? Team Fortress 2 has been plagued by bots, artificially intelligent players that disrupt gameplay and ruin the experience for legitimate players. What is the community doing to address the issue? The community is leaving negative reviews on Steam to get Valve's attention and pressure them to take action against bots.
