Anyone else who needs to wear compression stockings? I keep needing to pull mine up. Apparently I have really weirdly shaped legs. So they suggested glue. Nobody ever was allergy to this glue. Guess what, I broke out within minutes.

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

I swear to fucking god. I would claw out OneDrive from my computer if I could. I would burn down their servers if I could. I would run down their stocks to the ground if I could. I hope every single one of their workers gets a better offer from a competitor in the next 24 hours. I hope every single one of their light bulbs explodes at the same time. I hope every single carton of milk in their fridge will always be expired.

Stop backing up my fucking files.

Stop asking me to back up my fucking files.

Stop taking my fucking files off my fucking computer.

I don't want a fucking reminder in three fucking days. Let me fucking say no.

Fuckers.

Someone from the Twitter LC community (Céline/healingfromlc) has been dealing with terrible side effects after having a CT scan done with contrast, including six weeks of almost total insomnia. Apparently this is a known issue caused by allergic reactions to the contrast, but no one gets warned about it or taken seriously once it happens. A lot of people have developed new allergies after Covid infections, and many of us have outright MCAS, so this is a huge danger that I can only imagine getting worse.
