I know it's late, but I need you all to realize that as soon as we started paying attention to these races, Moms for Liberty & their ilk, started losing. They exploited a window of apathy & did a lot of damage, but they just cannot win when actually opposed. No unopposed elections anywhere.

Dear Patrick, At Adobe, our mission is to support your creativity. Over the last few years, we’ve added a lot of new technology, tools, and performance improvements that help you create more efficiently than ever in our core creative apps, like Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere Pro, explore new ideas with our Firefly generative AI technology, and exercise expanded creative control. Aligned with those improvements and ongoing innovation, we’re enhancing the current Creative Cloud All Apps with a new name, price, and benefits. Your Creative Cloud All Apps plan will be renamed Creative Cloud Pro and will include all your existing benefits, along with a wide range of new benefits explained below. This will happen at your upcoming renewal. Creative Cloud Pro will cost US$69.99/month (plus applicable taxes). Your subscription will automatically renew monthly on 05-May-2026 (PT) until you cancel. As always, you can manage or cancel your plan at any time via your Adobe Account or by contacting Customer Support.
How many thousands of people are gonna get charged $70 a month because they didn't read to the third paragraph of this fucking email
Got an email from Adobe saying that they were nearly doubling the cost of my creative cloud subscriptions and adding a bunch of Gen AI dogshit I didn't ask for!
If you don't want to get charged you have to log in and downgrade to a "standard" plan that's just the fuckin apps.
maybe one day I’ll think to record my little hums and figure out if it even has a tune or melody at all
idk man, my brain just picks notes at random. I usually am too tired to even notice I’m doing it until someone points it out
it’s kinda embarrassing, but like. it’s also just so *weird* that it’s hard to really be embarrassed about it bc everyone’s first reaction to hearing me do it is always some variation of “wtf song is that?”
I know I’m tired when I start humming little random notes without even realizing it
It’s kinda funny when someone realizes that the little noises are coming from me and they make a face trying to pick out a tune, but there’s no tune, no song, just my brain making weird little happy tired sounds 😂
I read through the article and through the letters sent to these paypros and you guys should too (like please actually read them, don't rely on me). It specifically cites religious and political views but the language is wide open. This is good
Wishing everyone a joyous NO KINGS DAY 3.0- Thank you to everyone across the globe for your participation in the Resistance... an inspiration to us ALL!!! 🙏
The signs you're carrying are off-the-charts perfection. 👌
7 months until the Midterms! 🗓️

these rambling thoughts brought to you by my impending birthday
time continues to march on, regardless of how we feel about it
I have grown to like my hair, yes. But I never know how to react to other people bringing it up.
Usually it’s meant as a compliment. They mean nothing bad by it. Which only makes my mixed emotions feel more out of place in response.
My hair started turning grey when I was eighteen. Now I have a grey streak that people often think is dyed that way. They think my sign of trauma is stylish and trendy.
It’s weird how much I wanted to be unique as a kid and now that such things have been forced on me, how mixed I feel about it.
apparently tumblr is fucking itself over with a very convoluted reblog system they just rolled out without warning.
gotta love the return of Tumblr Staff Being Fucking Morons And Purposefully Destroying Their Own Community
It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim “adult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer.
In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)
I hate being the "eldest daughter" of my family, with absolutely no female cousins at all.
Every sexist "obligation" falls on me and they wonder why I don't talk to more than half of them anymore.
ao3 is down yet again... VERY glad I downloaded the ebook file of the fic I was reading. always have offline backups guys.
New stupid scam alert. Scammers are now reaching out trying to get photos of your face to deep fake videos and con your friends and followers out of $$$ through counterfeit accounts. Fucking ridiculous.
Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.
If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.
WE ARE FULLY FUNDED?!?!
In just an hour and a half you guys funded the cosmic collection! ;w;
We have been working on this project for a year and now it is officially coming to life, thank you so so much. We can't believe it!!
Seriously THANK YOU!!!! 💕
I'm descending into madness
I've reached 10k words on this fanfic
screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Haku Yowane Not to sound like an egg but she is very gender, i love my silly depressed alcoholic gal
I hope Haku randomly gets a meteoric explosion in popularity like Teto did
my brain has been consumed by miku (again)
I'm kinda sad that the current vocaloid fandom doesn't know or care about Haku Yowane anymore. I really enjoyed cosplaying the embodiment of failure back in the day
If there is anything you still care about hosted on LJ -- posts, links, icons, photos, anything -- and you don't have a backup, get that backup ASAP. I have not stayed current on ways to back up. The ones I used to know of:
One fun thing about the Japanese is we love the FUCK out of Christmas and have only the loosest concept of what is going on
It seems VRC's outage tonight can be traced back to Epic Online Services, who provide the backbone for Easy Anti-Cheat: status.epicgames.com
So, to recap, using EAC:
- Didn't stop rippers
- Destroyed a lively community of modders
- Hurt accessibility
- Fucking ruined Christmas for everyone
I don't want gen AI in my browser
I don't want gen AI in my pc
I don't want gen AI in my art
I don't want gen AI in my games
I don't want gen AI in my music
I don't want gen AI in my movies
I don't want gen AI in my books
I don't want gen AI in my cart
I don't want gen AI in my life
I miss everyone. I miss my old AIM friends whom I used to have forever chatrooms with. I miss my Neopet & GaiaOnline friends, where we madeup overdramatic rp storylines. I miss my livejournal friends who I spoke with every day for years, whom I went to cons with and shared so many moments with.
The migraine aura I spoke about happened last night, and I still am in a bit of pain today, but can see fine now at least.
Migraines can be scary. Make sure you're talking to your doctor about what you experience. Support migraine-havers in your life.
