"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence

you guys gotta stop deactivating your blogs cause you're making it harder for me to go back in a reblog chain to remove the annoying additions

Ran into my high school American history teacher at the No Kings protest. We greeted each other, expressed surprise at how long it's been, and then looked around. "And here we are," I said. He nodded. "Here we are."

If anyone will know the answer it's you. What are those little animals and such drawn in the sides of illuminated manuscripts called?

There's no real blanket term for them, off the top of my head. If it's a snail, it's a snail, if it's a dragon, it's a dragon, and so on. Stuff in the margins is known as marginalia, but this refers to everything in the margins, including notes and commentary and so on, and I've posted previously on the tendency to refer to all medieval creatures as marginalia (if they're in the body of the text, illustrating it? Not marginalia).

One term that does tend to be applied to marginal creatures more often than not is gryllus. A gryllus is a head on legs.

My dog's really a study in Buddhism. He can see my muffin wrapper and he's miserable. Crying. He needs to eat my muffin wrapper so bad.

I get up and throw it away. He forgets about it immediately and happily goes to sleep.

You are not sad because you do not have a muffin wrapper, my beautiful boy, you are sad because you want the muffin wrapper.

How come you're all about "feminism" until it's time to protest? We haven't seen you make a single fucking post about the LA riots and it's really disappointing.

Hi friends. This is your reminder not to reply to questions like this. You do not need to self-report your behavior. This is a guilt trip designed to make you violate your own Miranda rights.

Also, they are not riots (Freudian slip, fed?), they're peaceful protests and are a democratic right under the first amendment.

where to find your local protest donate to legal funds my local immigrant support network

be safe out there, i love you.

Do not use unroll.me unless you are ok with data analysts and engineers potentially reading and parsing your personal email.

From their site:

Unroll.Me is owned by NielsenIQ, an e-commerce measurement and consumer data company that offers insights into market trends and advertising strategies. When you register for Unroll.Me, we access your commercial emails, using that data to enhance advertising products, measurement products, datasets and other services for our customers. We share information about the commercial emails you receive and some demographic details with clients like e-commerce businesses and data brokers for market analysis.

I'm a software engineer. I worked at a company that used data from unroll.me many years ago. Things might have changed, but at that time we had access to your raw personal emails in the data stream. They do not have an effective way to "only target commercial emails". They have to read and parse all of your emails in order to categorize them, and whoever writes that code has access to the raw stream of data. No matter what a company says, somebody can see your data when you give them direct access to it. This is why I quit that job.

Unroll.me is not the only company like this.

Be very careful who you give access to your inbox or other personal files.

Many of these other products are great and trustworthy open source tools. I assume OP made an honest mistake with this one.

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.

feel free to add more alternatives, resources or advice in the reblogs or replies, and i'll add them to the main post <3

In light of some of the many things happening across the world this year, I thought this Pride Month needed a special illustration.

Happy Pride Month, may we all stay safe, look after each other, and keep painting our rainbows, no matter what. 🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
