The Moth

It also goes without saying that bioessentialism inherently can’t be trans inclusive no matter how hard you try. “All men including trans men—” probably not. “This is only a woman’s issue—” is it really? “Afabs only—” why? “All trans men are like—” what? what are they like? finish the sentence i dare you.

All art IS POLITICAL. Not only by environment, but speaking nothing over nothing is still speaking at all. And it's political. Don't water this shit down, don't put everything on the environment because you don't need the intent to speak over a problem to have a political voice and have political power. Everything you do is political. ALL ART, even the stupid and thoughtless and the depraved and dirty and the comedy and the tragedy and the thoughtful, IS POLITICAL BY NATURE.

I made a Deadlock Character Template!

It's available in clip studio, sai2, and affinity photo formats. No .psd unfortunately because I no longer subscribe to adobe products and the exports to psd don't retain text editability anyways :(

You'll want to download and install the fonts before opening the files!

I alsoooo made a toyhou.se friendly HTML version:

most of the assets were pulled or recreated from game files.

no need to credit. i'd just gently ask you don't use this to pretend that there's a new official character drop.

I LIED !!!! GET PRANKED

POST BELOW ME GET FUCKING WET

how to troubleshoot by yourself when you have a technical problem

what common file types are

some very basics on how to use ""developer tools"" on your computer (because i cant think of a better way to refer to them) like task manager and command prompt (and their mac equivalents, terminal and activity monitor ofc)

how to read and understand a privacy policy and what your personal data is, as well as what it being collected actually means and steps you can take to keep it private

how to understand terms of service (hey. if you have trouble with reading legalese and worry about being able to understand these policies anyways, here's a site that gives basic summaries of privacy policies and ToS)

what a cookie actually is

internet privacy and your digital footprint!! seriously i dont know why we stopped teaching people that they shouldnt be putting their entire real identity online in a world where your online actions can ruin you irl

basic safety measures like antivirus software (and why you should use it or if the built in one on windows or mac is enough for you) and backing up your computer (also a mac guide)

common keyboard shortcuts (and on mac)

as an additional note: things i think everyone should know on computers and the internet but schools may bit hesitant to teach about for whatever moral/legal standards schools pretend to operate on

vpns and adblockers! (btw for most of these where you can pay for things im purposefully not recommending any specific software but seriously just use ublock origin for an adblocker)

how to not get a virus while pirating something

what a temporary email is and when to use one

red flags that you shouldn't trust a website (and how to quickly check the security of a site)

an online compiler so you dont need to download anything or worry about running code directly on your computer if that makes you nervous

a basic video guide to introduce you to python and walk you through beginner steps

a guide to some syntax and commands you should know (this was literally my lifeline in my first CS class)

instead ask:

is it MADE PURELY FOR SHOCK VALUE

does it UPSET THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ON A DAILY BASIS

was it TORTUROUS TO MAKE

it’s the most comprehensive resource i’ve ever encountered my life and it’s also got so much extra stuff like decent free vpns/antivirus/adblock, a massive list of free software for almost every purpose you can think of, AND a list of custom search engines that mean you can search every site at once or you’re looking for something more obscure (this is how i seem to always have a link to literally anything)

there’s also this rentry, which i can vouch for less because i don’t use it so much but does have info on installing cracked versions of the more popular antivirus programs if you don’t want to pay but also don’t want to trust the free options lol
