okay but the screenwriter for Thor: Ragnarok is obviously intimately aware of what it’s like to have siblings because like…the snake scene? Bickering at every opportunity? Throwing things at each other for no real reason? “You know this guy?” “I have no idea who this person is”? Smirking when your sibling does something cool because ‘nothing but respect for MY sibling’ and then turning around and punching each other in the face right afterward? Stabbing each other for fun and then going ‘oh come on you big baby, that didn’t even hurt’? The fucking ‘Get Help’ scene? Like bruh…that is some Truth in Hollywood right there

i just saw a post saying ppl wont be able to talk to their internet friends if net neutrality is repealed and ppl rly need to stop making misinformational posts

bad things that will happen if net neutrality is repealed

companies will be able to censor information and effectively shut down websites of social movements they disagree with, such as BLM or planned parenthood

small website owners (such as independent artists who have their own websites for hosting webcomics) will have to pay more to keep those websites hosted

many controversial and small websites such as i just listed will lose their platforms

internet monopolies will increase in number and become harder to challenge, such as how youtube has a monopoly on video sharing.

things that will NOT happen

consumers who don’t own websites having to pay more to access the internet / parts of the internet

the internet ending

most of the things in the posts going around tumblr

here is a post with more information. net neutrality is very important, but please stop spreading alarmist misinformation.

CALM DOWN ABOUT NET NEUTRALITY.

Don’t worry. They still have to go to court.

But guess what? There’s something you didn’t know about the vote.

Get this: the vote was basically illegal.

You heard me right. Eric Schneiderman, American lawyer, said in Twitter: “I will sue to stop the FCC’s illegal rollback of #netneutrality. New Yorkers and all Americans deserve a free and open internet.”

Not only do we have another ally, but now we know that the vote wasn’t supposed to happen.

We’ve got this. Now the REAL FIGHT starts now.

did you know that Friday 13th was meant to be a really good lucky day meant for fucking because it was dedicated to Freyja, the goddess of love and fertility and the patron goddess of Fridays

but then Christianity found out about it and were like “Fucking???? outside of marriage????? NO NO NO!!!” and decided it was a horrible terrible bad unlucky day and you need to be super careful of everything you do in case you die or some shit.

so thanks Christians for ruining everyone’s fucking fun

Petition to bring back Friday the FUCKteenth.

I know I deserve more.”

Tips for dealing with clumsiness

My husband would describe himself as clumsy, not careful enough, etc. He gets very upset when he knocks things over or breaks them because he thinks it reflects poorly on him. It doesn’t, of course, he just doesn’t have very good fine motor control and there’s not a lot we can do to change that. Recently, though, I noticed we’d been stacking the deck against him.

Buying certain types of household goods will make someone feel ten times clumsier, so here are my tips for making it easier:

- Get your glassware from IKEA. A lot of ikea glasses are made of tempered glass and drop-tested from heights of 1 meter. The POKAL glasses are particularly chunky and hard to knock over. They also have cute short-stem wine glasses which are more stable than the usual kind.

- Replace your plates with stoneware. Cheap plates are often prone to chipping or breakage just from normal handling, and dropping one is game over. Stoneware is much stronger and doesn’t chip or break nearly as easily.

- Check the height of your surfaces. Often, a bedside table can be at the right height to catch a glass of water with your hand/elbow very easily. Try and make sure your bedside table is slightly apart from your bed and the top is higher than your mattress.

- Choose floors wisely. Knocking over a glass of wine on carpet is a nightmare. Get laminate or wood floors if you can, or some cheap rugs you can replace if you’re renting. In the kitchen, avoid natural materials like stone since they also stain, and dropping stuff on them is an insta-breakage. Linoleum or Vinyl is cushioned so if you’re lucky a plate or glass may just bounce right off it.

You can’t train kids or adults not to be clumsy just through yelling at them when they drop or break things. For the sake of their mental health, it’s better to buy things that are OK if dropped.

Please, please, don’t yell at people (adults or children) for being clumsy and knocking things over or spilling things or whatever. 99.9% of the time it’s just an accident, and quite possibly due to a disability or a condition that they have no control over.

I understand, it’s upsetting when something expensive or treasured gets broken, or if things get indelible stains. But getting upset at the person who did it is not going to make it less likely that they’ll do it in the future; it’s going to make them scared and anxious that *when* it happens again, you’re going to get upset at them again.

Accidents happen. Even if something irreplaceable is ruined, life goes on. Just clean up the mess and get on with things. And do what you can to ACTUALLY help make it less likely to happen again.

PATREON BACKED DOWN!!! 🎉🤘🎉🤘🎉

Creators and Patrons,

We’ve heard you loud and clear. We’re not going to rollout the changes to our payments system that we announced last week. We still have to fix the problems that those changes addressed, but we’re going to fix them in a different way, and we’re going to work with you to come up with the specifics, as we should have done the first time around. Many of you lost patrons, and you lost income. No apology will make up for that, but nevertheless, I’m sorry. It is our core belief that you should own the relationships with your fans. These are your businesses, and they are your fans.

I’ve spent hours and hours on the phone with creators, and so has the Patreon team. Your feedback has been crystal clear:

The new payments system disproportionately impacted $1 – $2 patrons. We have to build a better system for them.Aggregation is highly-valued, and we underestimated that.Fundamentally, creators should own the business decisions with their fans, not Patreon. We overstepped our bounds and injected ourselves into that relationship, against our core belief as a business.

We recognize that we need to be better at involving you more deeply and earlier in these kinds of decisions and product changes. Additionally, we need to give you a more flexible product and platform to allow you to own the way you run your memberships.

I know it will take a long time for us to earn back your trust. But we are utterly devoted to your success and to getting you sustainable, reliable income for being a creator. We will work harder than ever to build you tools, functionality, and income, and our team won’t rest until Patreon is making that happen.

Thanks for continuing to create. We are nothing without you, and we know that.

If you haven’t sent us a note yet, or if you don’t see your concerns listed above, please leave us your feedback here.

Jack.

———–

Please no one make fun of or criticize Patreon for doing this. The customers complained and the company fixed the problem. That’s what we want companies to do, preferably without having to campaign for it first.

I’m seeing so many people being snide and shitty about this and honestly miss me with that shit. Even if them losing money was a deciding factor in this retraction, they didnt have to go back on it. Patreon makes enough money from big subscriptions in the long term, that it could have afforded to let the little creators die. And the majority of bigtime creators would have let it happen too. Don’t forget there are big names on patreon, who would have ultimately continued to thrive and keep patreon afloat while the rest of us drowned.

What we have here is a company making an ill thought out decision that primarily would have affected the little people, and the company taking note of our rightful outrage, holding their hands up fully accountable and saying “we’re sorry, we wont do that.”

And it wasnt a non apology either, it was a seemingly sincere mea culpa with a direct follow through on Not doing the shit thing which would have cost us all more income the moment it launched.

Guys, this is how we want businesses to work. We want them to be held accountable, we want them to apologize when they do wrong, we want them to listen to us and work with us and do what is right. And I dunno if it was driven by financial loss or ethical business concerns, possibly both. But the point is they did it. They were held accountable and corrected their actions. A little too late perhaps for some of our liking, but all the same it’s a good positive step not to be downplayed by fatalistic cynicism about how everyone is ultimately evil and greedy.

This is a good thing that is making many of us breathe a sigh of relief. Stop trying to detract from that.

Patreon coming through like a real pal there

goodrx.com will find the cheapest pharmacies in your area for your prescriptions and offers a discount program at no cost for some pharmacies (some don’t require the prescription to be cheaper at that pharmacy, it will provide a link to the discount card if it’s needed to get the cheaper price).
