Reminder that updates are resuming—

When…?

[docbe]

y'all it's about to get really fucking humid and hot

[docbe]

So rn I have the Reject Fascism t-shirt and tote up on the shop (and that’s all rn—the pride shirts won’t be up until I can verify that the print lines up well from the sample, unless anyone wants to nab one sooner)

Check it out: https://www.etsy.com/shop/docbe

As a recap, it has the 1st, 4th, 5th, and 6th amendment printed on the back bc yknow, the whole nabbing ppl and holding them/deporting them without due process is kinda an issue /s. Also wanted to get this up before 4th of July in case anyone had any maga folk they want to piss off—kinda think they need to be reminded of the rest of the amendments if they’re so concerned with the 2nd

THE ENTIRE WEST IS BEING PUT UP FOR SALE AND I AM BEGGING YOU TO CALL YOUR SENATORS

Trump’s budget bill has many, many things in it, but buried amongst it is the MILLIONS OF ACRES OF PUBLIC LAND FOR SALE.

This is the entirety of the Arizona state forests, the entire Cascades mountain range. Swathes of pristine desert around the national parks in Utah. On the doorstep of Jackson Hole.

THIS BILL IS BIG, BUT IT CAN BE AMENDED AND ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT PASS AS IS please.

If you have ever enjoyed the wilderness, we stand to lose it all forever.

CALLING your senators - NOT JUST IN THE WEST. ALL SENATORS, is CRUCIAL.

Outdoor alliance has a great resource for reaching out.

I don’t have a huge following but please, everywhere I have ever loved, the forests I grew up playing in, the land I got married on, is all at risk and I am begging.

Poll cloooosed, it looks like the winning design is the pocket accent shirt! And a close second (leading for a good part of the time) is the rainbow+trans color stripes, so I’m gonna set up both designs

I have ordered samples of the tshirt and button up to check the alignment of the print, but that won’t arrive in a few days—once I check it and make any adjustments, I’ll blaze thru the other flag designs 😤

[docbe]

I designed a couple of different versions and am waffling between them, so poll time! What design do you prefer (even if you aren't intending on buying):

Rainbow POC stripes

2. Stripes + Trans colors

3. Trans+Intersex arrow accent

4. Trans+Intersex pocket arrow (button up only rn, may be tweaked still)

Here's my current timeline, that I'm really gonna try to stick with thru the summer:

I'm gonna order samples of the rainbow+trans colors rainbow stripe shirts--so far the designs are pretty neck-and-neck, but I think I'm gonna for sure offer that one along with one of the others

I'm gonna set up etsy with a few of the designs I have, hopefully today or tomorrow

I'm gonna expand the designs to other gear (Morgan specifically requested a cropped tee, and there gotta be hoodies/sweaters bc comnfy)

I'm gonna expand to other flags (at least gay/lesbian, trans, bi, and ace, but ideally like all of them)

I'm gonna set up a Patreon for Ghotitank (again) because apparently their upping the cut in August and you gotta have one to stay grandfathered into the older rate

I'm gonna go outside sometimes and keep working on fixing my stupid body, which has slowly been improving (yay)

And then....I have a billion ideas and backlog projects, so we're hoping for Momentum. All the pieces comin together...

decentralize and clean up your life!!!

use overdrive, libby, hoopla, cloudlibrary, and kanopy instead of amazon and audible.

use firefox instead of chrome or opera (both are made with chromium, which blocks functionality for ad-blockers. firefox isn't based on chromium).

use mega or proton drive instead of google drive.

get rid of bloatware

use libreoffice instead of microsoft office suite

use vetted sites on r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH for free movies, books, games, etc.

use trakt or letterboxd instead of imdb.

use storygraph instead of goodreads.

use darkpatterns to find mobile game with no ads or microtransactions

use ground news to read unbiased news and find blind spots in news stories.

use mediahuman or cobalt to download music, or support your favorite artists directly through bandcamp

make youtube bearable by using mtube, newpipe, or the unhook extension on chrome, firefox, or microsoft edge

use search for a cause or ecosia to support the environment instead of google

use thriftbooks to buy new or used books (they also have manga, textbooks, home goods, CDs, DVDs, and blurays)

use flashpoint to play archived online flash games

find books, movies, games, etc. on the internet archive! for starters, here's a bunch of David Attenborough documentaries and all of the Animorphs books

burn your music onto cds

use pdf24 (available online or as a desktop app) instead of adobe

use unroll.me to clean your email inboxes

use thunderbird, mailfence, countermail, edison mail, tuta, or proton mail instead of gmail

remove bloatware on windows PC, macOS, and iOS X

remove bloatware on samsung X

use pixelfed instead of instagram or meta

use NCH suite for free software like a file converter, image editor, video editors, pdf editor, etc.

I am really enjoying reading about the University of Wisconsin chancellor fired after the university discovered all the pornos he and his wife were making.

Generally when someone has a public sex scandal (or “scandal”) you get the standard “I am sorry. I regret it. It was a misjudgment on my part” but this guy is like “fuck you I didn’t do anything wrong. I didn’t violate conflict of interest clauses, you are violating my first amendment rights”

I have some news for members of the united states armed forces who feel like they are pawns in a political game and their assignments being unnecessary.
