in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

• is it SINCERE
• was it CATHARTIC
• was it FUN TO MAKE
• is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly

FACIAL MICRO EXPRESSIONS FOR WRITERS <3

my daily affirmation as an author

Frederic William Burton (1816-1900), “Hellelil and Hildebrand, the Meeting on the Turret Stairs” (1864), watercolour and gouache on paper, 60.8 x 95.5 cm.

i hate seeing people now making fun of those who care about privacy online. i've seen people saying things like "well they already have your data. what are companies going to do with it" and it's like, that's not the point. it's that companies /shouldn't/ be able to have my data and sell it. am i aware they probably already have my data? yes, absolutely. but i'm still going to try and keep them from monetizing it any further, why are we defending companies selling data they shouldn't have to begin with though?

adding this to the post because, 100%, just there's a fire doesn't mean you should pour gasoline on it

I have like ten different ad and/or tracking blockers on my PC and phone... just out of pure spite

Can link it? I wish to hop aboard that train.

@drunkenbartend

• Firefox with build in tracker protection
• Ublock Origin adblocker for Firefox
• Adguard adblocker for firefox, for everything that gets past Ublock
• Mullvad VPN, one of the most reliable, cheapest and safest VPNs at the moment
• DuckDuckGo android app that blocks trackers for every app on your phone
• DuckDuckGo for firefox for blocking trackers and the likes
• SponsorBlock for firefox, skips the sponsor segments of youtube videos
• Adaway Adblocker for android (works much better with root access but doesn't require it)

Is there any benefit to using multiple ad blockers at once? I honestly don't know, but I haven't seen a single ad on the internet in ages and I get to use this image:
