Tanriaisil - Tivakis

the distinction between these two is so funny. ruth harker balancing a crisis of faith and the earnest love for her child vs longlegs in the corner going ‘oooh i love my little ciphers’

i love how dantes color is red and my color is green.

big red and small green.

we are a strawberry 🍓

Troy answers the question about Higgs, but DS2 cannot disclose it

There is a whole series of posts in slack right now about people getting their Instagram and facebook accounts hacked and losing 10+ years of photos. Wedding albums gone, photos of deceased loved ones, etc all unavailable.

The wounds are too fresh for me to chime in there right now but as your friendly neighborhood archivist

SAVE YOUR OWN COPIES OF STUFF.

Hacks happen. Accounts get disabled. We’ve also recently seen big websites like Cartoon Network, MTV News, and Comedy Central get shut down by corporate interests. Social media, the cloud, corporate websites are just someone else’s computer. And you don’t have control over it.

Remember LOCKSS: Lots of Copies Keeps Stuff Safe.

If you want to keep it have personal copies and back them up regularly.

Get one (or a few) external hard drives and set a calendar reminder that x times a year you back up your stuff. Open all emails from cloud hosting companies you might use (no ugly we are selling your stuff to some AI company or shutting down surprises).

I'm really not a very angry person there's just a lot of rage inside me

creepy guy i know tried to pat me on the head once... i flinched and said "dont touch me" and he recoiled and was like "jeeze dont get so mad at me" O_O

You should be able to say “don’t touch me” to anyone ever in any context and not have it be considered in the realm of surprising or insulting imho if we ever needed to normalize something it’s this

going to a con in 2 (ish) weeks and heres the situation...

• i was friends with a "family friendly" local con owner (who is a 25 year old straight white man)

• that friend and i would talk via discord basically everyday

• that friend sent me some weird stuff (including pictures)

• also is friends with a 32 year old WHITE MAN that says the n word and calls furries the f slur AND he brings him to cons and he helps do promo

• this friend and i have not spoken since the incident (roughly 10 days)

• unfortunately he usually has booths at cons to help promote his, so i will probably be seeing him at this next one

• ALSO when i made a call out post on my instagram story (i didnt mention that it was him specifically, just a local person with some influence), i noticed it had 2 shares so i worry that someone may have sent it to him

anyway im kinda worried about the possibility of seeing him and getting mad at me or just trying to talk to me in general.

like if he doesnt know about it i worry that he will try to talk to me like normal at the con ;-;
