My favorite thing about Xena is that it doesn't matter what plot you thought for your fanfic, Xena already did it in canon.

Vampires, time loop, memory loss, sacrifices, time travel, AU where they are celebrities and the fans are wondering about the nature of your relationship, farytale kiss to wake up the love of your life, horror. The female best friend being the daddy who stepped up to an accidental pregnancy, Greek gods, dying and coming back to life, CRUCIFICTION.

I can go on and on and on.

Xena Warrior Princess, the show that you are.

Wer die dreißiger und vierziger Jahre [des 20. Jh.] als Deutscher durchlebt hat, der kann seiner Nation nie mehr völlig trauen. Der kann der Demokratie so wenig trauen wie einer anderen Staatsform.

Anyone who lived through the 1930s and 1940s [of the 20th century] as a German can never fully trust their nation again. They can trust democracy just as little as any other form of government.

How to Steal Youtube like your Dad Stole Cable: A non-comprehensive guide.

Piracy is cool and you should do it.

I mean it, I fully condone the theft of copyrighted material online for the masses. You should consider the relative prices of a sturdy VPN to the cost of all your monthly streaming subscriptions and see what I mean: The mere fact that so many of these services trade the same movies back and forth on a bi-monthly basis only proves one thing, They don't respect you or your hard earned money. The prices go up, the services offered get more narrow and ill-defined, and worse to boot, but the torrent sites still exist and they still have everything I could ever want.

There are other guides on how to get any movie or album you want online, and maybe I'll write another, but today I want to talk you through something different. Piracy for the modern age, stealing something that would make the eyes of any tin-foil antenna wielding cable pirate misty with pride.

Let's get around youtube's bullshit under the jump:

We're going for the big dog. We're going… for youtube premium. I'm writing this guide with Firefox and Android in mind, but as far as I'm aware this will work more or less on chromium based browsers as well.

The two web extensions you'll need for your desktop:

If you're like me and find yourself in a youtube death spiral more often than you wish, you might want this one too:

Now, we address the app on your phone. Real heads have known about this trick for years, but it recently came to my attention.

ReVanced is a revival of the original Vanced app modding tool, and what it lets us do is very simple: bypass restrictions in many of our favorite apps like youtube, duolingo and others, so that we can get back essential features that have been paywalled. Specifically for youtube, we can now access off-screen playback, windowed playback, ad-free viewing, and we even GAIN a feature for our trouble, sponsor block, which uses crowdsourced data to find and skip embedded sponsor spots in videos. Think Squarespace and raid:shadow legends.

When you're installing revanced, you need to be careful not to install a pre-made hacked .apk, you really need to apply them yourself because nefarious users are everywhere and WILL send you malware. The ReVanced Manager app makes it very easy anyway, so you shouldn't need to rely on pre-hacked apks anyway.

You can get revanced from their page. Make sure it's the real deal, because there ARE fakes around.

You can find a current or slightly out-of-date youtube app around online very easily if you search. A slightly out of date apk is preferable here, as it means more of the hacks will work out of the box. If you've already downloaded the ReVanced app, then it will suggest a version for you to download.

"What about my TV?!" I haven't done this one personally, though I do intend to soon. My understanding is that you can use the command line on your fireTV stick to download a hacked app there as well! It's not an Enter The Matrix-tier operation, you just have to type a couple lines into a console. Super simple!

"Why aren't there more links in this post?" The companies have the internet too, and you probably know how to use it a bit more than they do. Posting links is like handing info to the enemy.

Every time someone comments on my old fic, i feel like I'm an old actor getting paid residuals. Appreciate you, old-fic-commenters. Key source of emotional income, tbh.

Steve Rogers did, in fact, realize that something was off when he saw the outline of the woman’s odd bra (a push-up bra, he would later learn), but being an officer and a gentleman, he said that it was the game that gave the future away.

Text reads:

X/Twitter suspended my account for allegedly ‘impersonating” and won’t even allow me to prove or contest my authenticity. I am dissappointed as I have artists and comic creator correspondence on that account.

I’ve had this account for 15 years with the same unique handle across all platforms and I’ve verified with a government issued ID. I’m speaking up not just for myself but for other long-time users and creators who rely on the platform to connect with their communities. I can’t say I’m surprised though. That app will allow hatred to flourish before listening to legit small businesses and creators. For now, I’ll be posting my art here, IG and on bsky.

It goes without saying that @papurrcat on Twitter is my account since 2009. And I have always been the only artist with said handle. Pretty sure a lot of my followers can attest to that.

If you can help spread the word in case my other mutuals on X don’t know. Thank you for all your continued support.
