Here's uBlock Origin's official guide to bypassing youtube's anti-adblock popups, updated weekly. Please share widely. Don't reward google for their predatory anti-consumer bullshit
To summarize: 1. Get uBlock Origin and make sure it's updated to the latest version. 2. Click on the gear icon to get to the dashboard, go to "Filter lists", and make sure that "uBlock filters - Quick fixes" is up to date
Repeat those steps any time you get another popup (google and uBlock are having an arms race right now so it might stop working at any moment), and if you have any more problems, read the reddit thread for troubleshooting advice

Let go of everything
Every position that you find yourself in, every situation that you find yourself in, with whomever you find yourself, the positions that you have or don’t have, whatever you may be in this world, is your right place at this moment. Bless this, love it. I know it sounds hard when you think of a horrible condition and you say, “I must love it?” Let me explain again. The reason you love it, is because God is all there is. Try to remember this. There is nothing but God. Therefore if you hate something, you’re hating God which is your Self. It’s all coming out of you. You are That. You must learn to trust and love your Self, your precious Self. When you become despondent, depressed, hateful, feeling sorry for yourself, this is what blasphemy really means, for you’re feeling this way about your Self. Can’t you see? There’s only your Self. If you think something is horrible, you’re speaking about your Self. You look at a situation, you watch it, you observe it, you never react, you leave it alone. And then you’ll be given the power that you need to handle it, to go through it, without thinking, without thoughts, without any commotion, without any noise. These are the things you must work on. Be that Self. Never be frightened again by anything. If I can make this perfectly clear to you, never allow anything in this world to ever frighten you. Allow things to unfold as they may. Remember, you just watch and observe. Hold on to the truth. Happiness will come of its own accord. When you hold on to the truth, when you do not react to life’s conditions, person, place or thing, when you leave things alone and you stop fighting life, you’re not giving up. I’m telling you there is nothing to fight. And the only thing you’re giving up is your ego. You’re giving up your body, your ego, your mind. You rise to a higher dimension where there is happiness, peace, compassion, love and joy, that is naturally yours. You begin to feel these things instead of the things you felt before, prior to this, when you were fighting life, when you were sticking up for your rights, when you were trying to get even, when you were working as an ego. Let go of everything. Do not hold on. Stand naked before God, without any crutches, without anything to hold on to. When you can do this, from this moment on you will begin to rise. And you will become aware that you are not the body or the mind or the world or the universe, but you are effortless, choiceless, Pure Awareness. You are boundless space, infinite like the sky. You have become everything, and everything has become you. There comes a time in everyone’s life when they have to stand naked before God. By standing naked I mean no scripture, no fancy words, no preconceived ideas, no spiritual intellectual knowledge. But to be totally naked, in humility and humbleness. Therefore when you can forget about your scripture, forget about everything you’ve learned, and become totally empty, you will then become full.
from Silence of the Heart - Robert Adams

"Just a minute," said Lobsang. "Who are you? Time has stopped, the world is given over to...fairy tales and monsters, and there's a schoolteacher running around?"
"Best kind of person to have," said Susan. "We don't like silliness. Anyway, I told you...I've inherited certain talents."
"Like living outside time?"
"That's one of them."
"It's a weird talent for a schoolteacher!"
"Good for grading papers, though," said Susan, calmly.

Hello, I love your practical anarchism posts. I am discontent with a lot of issues in my uni, so as soon as I'm back to classes I hope to be able to apply some of your knowledge. My question: Have you considered to make a book out of all your practical anarchy tips?
I'm so glad to hear you're going to try to make things better. I believe in you! I have thought about it. This blog is actually the first time I've put a lot of my thoughts into writing, and it's been a major confidence boost that they seem to resonate so much with so many. A book might take a bit, but I have considered trying to make a zine about it in the more immediate future just to get something out there faster that is also easier to digest than a whole book. Writing and publishing is definitely on my mind. :)

Do the right thing
Tumblr media
Most of us can handle doing the right thing when it’s obvious.
Not just in those moments when the contrast between good and evil could not be more stark. We’re good. We’ve got that one.
But also when it’s presented to us like today’s first reading (“Today I have set before you…”). As a monumental life choice moment. Where there’s no way that we could miss its importance. We’ve got that one as well.
We’re always going to put ourselves on God’s side when it’s that obvious.
What you and I struggle with? When it’s not. When it’s not obvious that this is one of those moments.
So let me help you with that one. I figured out the easy way to tell if this is one of those moments, and I want to share it with you. Here it is,
They all are.
They are all life choice moments. Wait, what?
Here’s what I mean – there are unmistakable life choice moments. Moments when you have the opportunity to make a real difference.
Like when someone who is being abused and isolated is finally able to call for help because their abuser is passed out. They’ve made the choice to escape. And they’re calling you for a ride to the domestic violence shelter. Right now, before he wakes up.
And you’re thinking, “That’s pretty obvious. That’s a life choice moment.”
Right. But what makes you someone who will drop everything to help them? What prepares you for that moment? 
All of the little life choice moments of everyday life.
The countless moments of daily living when you and I can go with God, can do the right thing. Or not.
No one of them is monumental. By themselves, they’re not that much. But taken together, they shape our lives. They shape us. More than our handful of monumental moments ever can.
Saying something encouraging when you see someone struggling. Or not.
Helping someone who needs it. Or not.
Making time for someone who needs to be heard. Or not.
Deciding to treat them like you want to be treated. Or not.
They’re all life choice moments. And they’re yours for the taking every day. Or not.
Taken together, their cumulative effect on you makes it possible for you to do the right thing in those monumental moments.
Every one of them takes you a step closer to God, a step close to who God made you to be. Or a step farther away.
The countless, practical moments for holiness.
The everyday moments that we are given to get over ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him.

day 005/100 of study!
< 26/01/2024 >
Hello all! how are you? 🫶
Today is a pretty free day, I have 3 full hours of independent study where I can knuckle down and (hopefully) get a lot of work done that I haven’t had to chance to before. I’ve printed out a LOT of questions that I probably won’t have the chance to complete but it’s worth a shot over this weekend!
Tonight, I’d like to finish off those questions and write up all the notes that I’ve missed out on, but being realistic means that I’ll probably relax with my boyfriend 😭😭 the struggle of actually being productive starts now 😭
[goals]
✔️ finish biology questions
✔️ finish chem + bio notes for the tests
✔️ relax with bf 🩷
mock countdown : 74 days!

luvcompass highlights: Surrender
・ 。゚☆: *. ♡ .* :☆゚.・ 。゚☆: *. ♡ .* :☆゚.・・ 。゚☆: *. ♡ .* :☆゚.・ 。゚☆: *.♡ .* :☆゚
We think that we are our mind/body (identity) and we try desperately to get away from "it" - that leads to questions like "How do I change my awareness?". By society, we're taught to make effort, try harder, do this, do that. But the funny thing is, what's required is "no" effort - the watercourse way - no effort from the side of the mind. Because "trying to change" is the equivalent of trying to fight a shadow. The identity is a shadow, it is not us. Analyze your mind briefly, and you will find that it is nothing but a byproduct of societal conditioning, peer opinions, books, movies, whatever content you've most willingly consumed. The mind is incessantly thinking 24/7, it never stops. It drags you into its each and every thought. It's not really you thinking, you are being thought. "I want to change my awareness" - who does? The mind? It is not even you. You merely believe it to be yourself, and let yourself get dragged away by the thought. How do we stop this? There's only one way: surrender. Stop fighting. You cannot fight a shadow, you will only look like a fool. When you surrender, you go beyond and you re-realize yourself. Surrender. Surrender to however you are, whatever state you are in. Surrender to whatever is going on, whether you believe it to be good or bad, it does not matter, because it is the mind putting these labels on it. Stop chasing, because there is nothing that you need to achieve. Not even awareness, because you already are. There is no need to "go beyond the mind" because you already are beyond it. Do not try to intellectually understand this, just accept it, because it is truth. Your blood is flowing now, but your mind is not controlling that. What is? Awareness. You are already aware. So leave it. You are perfect as you are, perfection, godliness, divine.

Carver the Slasher
Carver was my design for a slasher character that was also a monster. Not a deformed person, but a real monster. Something attempting to be human, and failing at it. Taking it out on humans in the end, like a true narcissist. I had a LOT of fun designing and building him, and had a blast showing him off at Monsterpalooza!

Im only ever gonna deliver the information matter of factly and with great flippantness but just once when i tell someone my plan for the next decade or so of my life i need them to comprehend its terrific sadness. And ask if im sure i wont kill myself . And i will say of course I wont. Lol. And then probably put my head in my hands and sit there for 15 minutes minimum

Art of survival? At times you just got to keep a heavy rock inside your chest instead of a beating heart. That's how you move on...
