They cut off usda funding from Minnesota, which includes wic and snap. Please consider donating to food banks around the area or food drives. Many immigrants are too scared to leave their homes to shop as well and a community member is doing great work.

I love rat snakes they’re so cute and cuddly. Unfortunately, they want to get in your house and cuddle.

They love to live on your porch and deal with pests and be really chill and then sneak in when you least expect it. They’re trying so hard to be domesticated. Sorry bud, you’re so shiny and dark and beautiful but you’re an outside friend.

This was my second original embroidery design! I did it in july 2020 :) By this point i was really into using cool techniques to show textures and i was very excited to try out stump work (basically crochet LOL) for the nori. I love picking techniques that really reflect the properties of something.

It's also VERY SMALL, see last photo with my glasses next to it.

From the article:

This massive meta analysis (for those not familiar, a study analyzing the results of many studies on similar topics) found that the vast majority of conservation efforts show much much better results than doing nothing. In many cases, biodiversity loss was not only stopped but reversed.

This shows that conservation efforts really work and money invested is put to very good use. Legally protecting endangered species really works, restoring habitat really works, removing endangered species really works, returning land to Indigenous communities works. All of the blood, sweat, and tears being poured into protecting the natural world has been making a real, big, tangible, difference on a global scale.

i screamed out loud

Listen to me

LISTEN TO ME

A game called South of Midnight comes out on April 8th. Y’all keep complaining about media having the same storyline over and over again with the same white people at the forefront. I need you to blow this game the fuck up.

Black female main character. With American South mythology woven in. Completely different

I NEED THIS GAME TO SUCCEED I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS GAME YOU HAVE NO IDEA

I’m looking you in your eyes right now. Play this game. Play this fucking game.

I say this as someone studying anthropology, someone who has studied many many cultures around the world. The American south has some of if not the COOLEST folklore you will see out there. And this game clearly has so much love, respect and effort put into it, I have no doubts that it will represent it flawlessly. If you have any interest in folklore or the American south, I HEAVILY recommend you check it out.

steam points is like. such a stupid and worthless thing to have. Oh, i get points for buying things in the steam store, and playing steam games, and theres a store i can buy things in? Well what can i buy? steam games? coupons for steam games?

nope. animated sticker of a tantrum-ing soyjak baby and the pop cat for the steam groupchat nobody uses because discord exists.

I got a sticker of a dog scratching its ass via steam points and i send it to my friends and my girlfriend randomly when they're playing games to piss them off.

Vital info is that at one point I changed my entire Steam profile to be themed around the fuckass dog so my friends were getting messages from "ass scratching dog" with nothing but that stupid gif in the middle of their games.

I take it back steam points is worth it because it allows this person to do that and that's hilarious.

“~powerful~ character bends at the knee to the ostensibly powerless character & is entirely at their command” has been fucking me up since probably like middle school lmfjdjfjg

Stolen from the Electronic Frontier Foundation:

Here's a link to the EFF page that contains this information:

On Android 

With the release of Android 12, Google began allowing users to delete their ad ID permanently. On devices that have this feature enabled, you can open the Settings app and navigate to Privacy > Ads. Tap “Delete advertising ID,” then tap it again on the next page to confirm. This will prevent any app on your phone from accessing it in the future.

On iOS 

To see which apps you have previously granted access to, go to Settings > Privacy > Tracking. You can set the “Allow apps to Request to Track” switch to the “off” position (the slider is to the left and the background is gray). This will prevent apps from asking to track in the future. If you have granted apps permission to track you in the past, this will prompt you to ask those apps to stop tracking as well. You also have the option to grant or revoke tracking access on a per-app basis.

Apple has its own targeted advertising system, separate from the third-party tracking it enables with IDFA. To disable it, navigate to Settings > Privacy > Apple Advertising. Set the “Personalized Ads” switch to the “off” position to disable Apple’s ad targeting.

The explicitly pornographic ads paired with porn bans to appeal to advertisers is really aggravating, but I also want to take a moment to complain about really disgusting ads. Cartoon person with disturbingly photorealistic boils and shit, getting giant worms pulled out of their bodies, body horror shit like that. What the fuck is this supposed to be advertising? Why would you show this? Why can't I block it? It always pops up when I'm trying to eat, too. Why is this allowed? Fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you FUCK YOU
