The Evil Eye Blog

Her house in the New Forest. They had a pool and hot tub, a pool house, and I think 4 or 5 bedrooms and 2 reception rooms. I say "I think" because we weren't actually allowed to stay in the house. Our coach and 2 male members stayed in the pool house, which had a very small room, plus a bathroom which all of us were to share. The rest of us had to sleep in a big tent gazebo thing in the garden. In May in England. When none of us were prepared for camping. It was about 10°c in the night, not comfortable at all.

I very briefly saw the inside of the house when I asked her mother if there was another bathroom because we were running late and i needed to put my contact lenses in, and she shooed me into a cupboard under the stairs. The living room I caught a glimpse of had enough space for all of us to sleep there.

The next day when we got back from the competition, we were given a BBQ dinner! Which consisted of 1 chicken leg and 1 potato each.

For the privilege of staying at her house, we all had to give Nadine £5.

I have had "friends" -- people who I had considered upstanding, trustworthy folks, whom I'd helped and provided for before with no expectation of reciprocity when I was poor and struggling myself because I thought we were friends -- present me with an itemized bill after a car ride. Including cleaning and petrol for their car, which the company they work for pays for. On a black AmEx.

do not see you as people,

never mind equals.

NO

I will do a tier list structure (S, A, F you get it)

S

Ublock Origin

This is the adblocker to get, it does essentially everything. There are certain big brain settings you can do with it, but for now keep it vanilla until you're ready

2. Firefox Multi Account Containers

These create containers that add privacy to your life by trapping cookies into one container that does not breach into your other browsing habits. Also allows you to store multiple accounts if you have that sorta stuff. I use it to create containers for privacy affecting sites such as anything under the google umbrella and microsoft umbrella.

3. Archive Page & Wayback Machine

I feel it's important to archive every useful thing you browse and find on the internet. These two sites are a godsend for saving sites and browsing what once was. Another good site is ghostarchive, but sadly there isn't an addon for that site I am aware of.

4. Save webP as PNG or Jpeg

Literal life saver, if you hate webp as much as I do, this is your best friend.

5. Sponsorblock for youtube

For the moments where I do use plain youtube, I use this. It automatically skips sponsorships, bell and subscribe reminders, and other stuff.

6. Xkit Rewritten

Every seasoned tumblrer uses or have used Xkit, this is the latest and most maintained version of the extention. It adds a lot of quality of life features to your tumblr experience.

7. Tranquility Reader

For moments where Firefox's reader mode isn't enough, tranquility will be your life saver. Especially it's "print in read mode" feature which has saved my metaphorical life more times than I can count.

A

DownThemAll

This little downloader has helped me a lot archiving! But might not be for everyone or every use case.

2. FoxyTab

Ok so fun story, I used to do something where I'd archive a bunch of links for a fandom. To make the process easier, I used FoxyTab to sort those links alphabetically and then copy every URL. I kept it around to this day even though I don't do that anymore because I find FoxyTab's functions extremely useful for my browsing needs. But I'm kinda the sorta person who loves to be organized on my computer.

3. Redirector

This is not for everyone, but I use this a lot. Want to distance yourself from a website for mental health? Redirect. Want to create privacy frontend redirects for sites? Redirect.

It's very easy to set up, just duplicate the example redirect and fill out with your own stuff and boom.

4. RSS Sage Like

This is an RSS feed browser, which is basically a fancy way to see current updates to most websites, tumblr blogs, youtubers, etc.

For reasons given under "Feedbro" in C tier, I got this, which moves the feeds into Firefox's built in sidebar. Much better for productivity. Now I can check only when I want to.

5. Sideberry

This lists each of your tabs on the side of the screen. If you prefer your tabs to be on the side at all times and never on the top follow instructions given here. I only use this if I have a ton of tabs to sort through and usually prefer my tabs on the top.

6. Violentmonkey

I don't really use userscripts and use even less now reddit's gone, but when I do need to do something the website doesn't have built in, this is the best way to add features. Just search what website you want to add stuff here and experiment.

C

Indie Wiki Buddy

Redirects Fandom wikis to indie alternatives. Don't browse wikis enough to say how accurate or useful this is.

2. Progressive web apps for Firefox

Other browsers have the ability to turn websites into "apps" that Firefox lacks. If you're not into that, I don't see a reason to install this. I do it only for Piped (privacy frontend to youtube) to keep my mind off the web as I eat.

3. New Tab Override

Want your new tab to be something other than firefox's two options? This is for you! I just use it to make my tab duckduckgo tbh lol.

4. Feedbro

I used to use this to give me RSS feeds for practially every website for years, however over time the number counter gave me some itching need to click it, which was pretty bad for productivity and there's no way to disable the counter either. Which is why I got rid of the extension. This is the only reason why it's C. Otherwise, it's a perfectly fine way to get updates on your favorite websites and tumblr blogs.

5. Search by Image

I rarely, if ever need to search an image, but when I do, this is the king of doing so.

6. Jstris+ (userscript ver) and/or tetrio plus

I use this cause I like playing (single player) (poorly) tetris. If you don't play tetris don't get these IG. If you do, you probably might not need these unless you like pretty visuals like I do. IDK.

D

Bypass paywalls clean

If you're using archive.is you probably don't need this, however it bypassed pretty much every paywall I've come across. Only non-official addon here.

E

1. Clipboard2File

I use this for archival cause I am extremely lazy and sometimes don't want to directly save if my clipboard gives me the same image quality results as the site. Doesn't always work though.

2. Ruffle

Ever get an extension that you think you will use all the time but don't? Ruffle is that extension. Flash on the internet died before it was ever discontinued. Sad but true.

F

1. Video DownloadHelper

Setup is extremely annoying but helps archive videos from sites where otherwise it's next-to-difficult to archive from. More recommended to just use yt-dlp though.

That does not.

I saw the immediate misgendering thing, but "the game itself added a line of dialogue about Sage being female and getting gangbanged in the men's locker room" seems to be wrong. Snoot hasn't been updated since the New Year's Update in early 2022. Sage was never in the base Snoot Game either; not enough images of info regarding him were available at the time. Maybe it was a mod someone made, or someone's fanfic?

And you also need to be ready to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the sex workers who have been fighting the ban for years.

it made me think he wasn't planning on putting Lylla on vol 3 or that he wouldn't make her Rocket's love interest. that's the reason I got surprised when she was confirmed in the movie.

Help a disabled woman from becoming homeless!

**URGENT: PLEASE READ/SIGNAL BOOST**

Tuesday, May 9th: Hello everyone, I’m Gemma, a bi, mentally ill, and disabled woman in desperate need of help, as I'm still struggling to pay my rent, which is extremely overdue by nine days!!

As most of you are already aware from my previous posts, I have been struggling financially these past few years due to Covid-19 and my welfare benefit (Universal Credit) being under continuous reviews, which is due to my worsening mental/physical health and the UK’s controversial changes to how benefits are assessed and assigned. And after a lengthy health assessment, I have been declared not to be fit for work, however, I am still waiting for the outcome of my Adult Disability application, which I applied for back in January.

I know this is a difficult time for everyone, and I'm so sorry to be asking for help again, but I still desperately need some as my welfare last month was taken by my overdrawn bank, and I wasn't able to pay my rent. My PayPal is also overdrawn, and I desperately need help.

If anyone could spare any amount to help me, even if it’s just £1/$1/€1, it would save my life, and sharing definitely helps just as much. Thank you so much for all your help!! ❤

£0/£205!!

The Protect ICWA Campaign was established by four national Native organizations: the National Indian Child Welfare Association, the National Congress of American Indians, the Association on American Indian Affairs, and the Native American Rights Fund. Together, the Campaign works to serve and support Native children, youth, and families through upholding the Indian Child Welfare Act. The Campaign works to inform policy, legal, and communications strategies with the mission to uphold and protect ICWA.

The Indian Child Welfare Act (#ICWA) was put in place over 40 years ago to curb generations of harm resulting from the targeted assimilation of Native kids. On November 9th, it is being challenged in front of #SCOTUS, in Haaland v. Brackeen. @protecticwa invites families, leaders, singers, dancers, traditional practitioners, elders, knowledge keepers, youth, and allies to join them as they respectfully demonstrate support for ICWA at the Supreme Court on November 9th, the day of oral arguments for Haaland v. Brackeen. If opponents succeed in dismantling ICWA, they will have cleared the way for a larger attack on Native families, Native land, and tribal sovereignty. We all must stand up for ICWA.

This ABSOLUTELY works.

I think it’s important to Critically Engage with media, because calling it problematic doesn’t really…do anything, same with calling it unproblematic, again it’s reductive. Honestly this line of thinking feels more concerned with looking “morally righteous” than actually talking about a serious issue.

I’m not saying WC, isn’t bad, it does have it’s whole boat of issues, I’m saying Wof isn’t better. The books have some terrible handling of the topics of colonialism, slavery, racism and genocide for example, and considering how serious those issues are I think that’s a big failure, and generally speaking, when it comes to the handling of trauma, media doesn’t do it well most of the time. and Wings of Fire is not an exception to this, it often times falls into the too common pitfall of framing trauma and trauma recovery as a “Good Victims/Bad Victim” narrative and saying that these victims are “bad” for…being angry about there situation, and…not processing it in a healthy sanitized way and deserve punishment. This is messed up for multiple reasons.

And WoF falls into the same problems WC did with how it treats the culture of Indigenous people, also WoF has a whole part where a character did what was basically religious colonialism (Clearsight being turned into a religious figure and teaching the Pantalans Her way of life and changing there entire culture) and treated it as a GOOD THING, it is NOT EXEMPT from this.

And as someone who has recommended Digimon Savers and will continue to do so, it’s also not exempt from problems…because media can’t be perfect because WE’RE not perfect.
