@Taylor There's not much that's bigger than your head, if you're cosmic-sized! :D
@Taylor That sounds like it's bigger than your head!
re: More thoughts on reading Heinlein’s Number Of The Beast
@anthracite I remember this book being weird and kind of enjoyable when I read it in high school, but a lot less creepy.
Then again, unless it had depictions of scaly critters fucking, I tended to just gloss over the sex and ogling in anything at that age.
@zetasyanthis Fortunately I'm not on the hook for solving anything until the customer has resolved their completely fucked-over networking situation. But that sure was a six-hour call.

"A newly discovered form of malware delivered to victims via adverts in search results is being used as a gateway to stealing passwords, installing cryptocurrency miners and delivering additional trojan malware.
Detailed by cybersecurity company Bitdefender, the malware – which targets Windows – has been dubbed MosaicLoader and has infected victims around the world as those behind it attempt to compromise as many systems as possible.
MosaicLoader can be used to download a variety of threats onto compromised machines, including Glupteba, a type of malware that creates a backdoor onto infected systems, which can then be used to steal sensitive information, including usernames and passwords, as well as financial information.
Unlike many forms of malware, which get distributed via phishing attacks or unpatched software vulnerabilities, MosaicLoader is delivered to victims via advertising."

@JulieSqveakaroo Now that you mention it....
consequences of link rot, Vice link (mentions of and adjacet to pornography but not actually porn, explicit language)
"As pointed out by Twitter user @dox_gay, hardcore porn is now embedded on the pages of the Huffington Post, New York magazine, The Washington Post, and a host of other websites. This is because a porn site called 5 Star Porn HD bought the domain for Vidme, a brief YouTube competitor founded in 2014 and shuttered in 2017. Its Twitter account is still up, but the domain lapsed.
Seemingly any vid.me embeds now redirect to the 5 Star Porn HD homepage. The site vid.me also redirects there. For example, if you check out this New York magazine article about former House Majority leader John Boehner's "creepy kissy face," you will see photos of Boehner but also images of a man with a gigantic penis fucking a woman.
Archived versions of this page show that there was formerly a vid.me embed on the page; the page's source code shows the same."
So, uh. Heads-up on that one, I guess.
@hystericempress Have you noticed any increase in the wearing of sweater-vests? I've been warned that might happen with age but I've never experienced it myself.
My friend Sunyata, a queer disabled Black femme from NYC, has had their gofundme up for *2 years*, before the pandemic even, and it’s still unfulfilled.
This week, I’m asking you to get Sunyata up to $5350/$20,000. That’s $600 more that will go toward desperately needed mental health treatment, which longterm will support their career as a poet and artist.
From them: “Fundraisers that haven’t met their goal often get less donations. Please please please don’t let mine fall by the wayside. It’s already been two years. After I finish this degree program, I hope to be accepted into Brown University so I can be in a position to help other Black trans folks. Our liberation is bound together.”

If you’d prefer to give not thru gofundme, Sunyata also has zelle, paypal, venmo, and cashapp:
Zelle: blackqueerbpd@gmail.com
Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sunyatax
Venmo: @/liberationforall
Cashapp: $vsunnymoon
PS Remember to NEVER tip GoFundMe, because they already take a cut of all donations.
@Doephin Whenever we can visit again! Right now I gather Hawaii is having a lot of resource shortage issues. :/

@starkatt ...Are they going to _steal_ something on the jet?
re: Fast & Furious 9 shitposting
@starkatt Wait what do I have to get interested in this movie now? Is that seriously a car with rocket engines strapped on, about to ram a jet?
Rare coastal dragoness, often found by sunny sea cliffs. Nonbinary but fairly femme-leaning. If you're under 18 don't follow.
