Bit telling that for years and years evangelical religious extremists have been allowed on university campuses with their bullhorns and horrific imagery where they harass students into physical altercations and when students complain to the university’s administration they just shrug their shoulders citing freedom of speech but when those same tuition-paying students start protesting against war and genocide they call SWAT

T_T I didn't see having dinner with Pike FUCK.

all at home btw. no leaving the house except if it's to immediately sit or lie down there :)

#if we're talking STN Pike he would make some kickass food #but having coffee/tea/coco with Troi would be an absolute close second

Things that will make your computer meaningfully faster:

Replacing a HDD with an SSD

Adding RAM

Graphics cards if you're nasty

Uninstalling resource hogs like Norton or McAfee (if you're using Windows then the built-in Windows Security is perfectly fine; if you're using a mac consider bitdefender as a free antivirus or eset as a less resource intensive paid option)

Customizing what runs on startup for your computer

Things that are likely to make internet browsing specifically meaningfully faster:

Installing firefox and setting it up with ublock origin

adding the Auto Tab Discard extension to firefox to sleep unused tabs so that they aren't constantly reloading

Closing some fucking tabs bud I'm sorry I know it hurts I'm guilty of this too

Things that will make your computer faster if you are actually having a problem:

Running malwarebytes and shutting down any malicious programs it finds.

Correcting disk utilization errors

Things that will make your computer superficially faster and may slightly improve your user experience temporarily:

Clearing cache and cookies on your browser

Restarting the computer

Changing your screen resolution

Uninstalling unused browser extensions

Things that do not actually make your computer faster:

Deleting files

Registry cleaners

Defragging your drive

Passively wishing that your computer was faster instead of actually just adding more fucking RAM.

This post is brought to you by the lady with the 7-year-old laptop that she refuses to leave overnight for us to run scans on or take apart so that we can put RAM in it and who insists on coming by for 30-minute visits hoping we can make her computer faster.

This makes so much sense

Gaza is not starving. Gaza is being starved by Israel. their condition is so bad that they are forced to consume animal feed just to keep their stomach full. but it isn't providing them any nutrition which is causing malnutrition. this is one of the most well documented genocide of all time and yet there are people who deny it or worse, they don't care. please don't turn away from their suffering and keep talking about Gaza.

Fuck Israel and fuck everyone who still wants to pretend this is confusing or complicated. Is it really that hard to point out the "bad people" in a scenario where a multi-billion military apparatus is handcuffing and killing children and medical staff inside a fucking hospital?

I think I’m going to think about this youtube comment forever

I laughed so fucking hard at this

my advice for making art again after years of not making art when making art is intrinsic to who you are and also you feel like you Can't Do It Anymore

you have to find the door in your brain where the little guy lives who likes to make stuff and is insane. and then you have to open the door and let him out

at that point I typically listen to some music for five or six hours while the little man in my brain does insane things and then I come back and clean up and take care of human things. and he goes back into. the door

YOOOOOO

Got no new writing done today

BUT

I found a desktop app called Obsidian and spent the entire day moving everything from my WIP to it. Best part is that you can directly link docs to each other, and a graph shows you the entire "map" of your worldbuilding and how each little thing is connected to others.

Y'all, the only doc I have left on Google Drive is the first rough draft dont ask me how long it is thats not important rn

It's so organized and pretty 😭
