i must say, i am a huge fan of when a book is in the middle of a very exciting plot containing many interesting problems when out of nowhere for a few pages it's like, "hey by the way, real quick, here's a detailed explanation of the city's water filtration system! i'm telling you this for a reason and you should worry about it. anyway! haha okay back to the plot" and you just get to be Scared for a while

poor things, well we should definitely make this easier on them by never repeatedly mentioning their name and deeds on the "reblog things forever" website
Hey, if anyone’s curious, this IS making a serious impact — this handbook was taught as standard practice for my EMT license course, as well as several other programs. A lot of new providers are being taught this as a matter of course.
having thought about it this is a generationally anti-consumer announcement that will have a profoundly detrimental impact on consumers and retail markets. this will price out new consumers even more than a $600 PS5 and $80 games will. this will make games less accessible and more nickel-and-dimed. this will make games impossible to share irl without giving your console up, and will stop institutions like libraries from being able to loan copies of modern games. and most importantly, it will be for a minimal profit, as most of the sales in video games are already digital.
this is such a staggeringly catastrophic piece of news that i'm shocked it wasn't said by nintendo. congrats to sony for one-upping them in anti-consumer practices.

Director Phoebe Kemp said: "Twelfth Night already toys with gender and performance – it feels like Shakespeare wrote it for us"
"Director Phoebe Kemp said in a statement: “Twelfth Night already toys with gender and performance – it feels like Shakespeare wrote it for us. This reading is about joy, solidarity and showing what’s possible when trans and nonbinary artists are at the centre of the story.”"
“The production will be staged at The Space Theatre in London on 25 July 2025, on the eve of London Trans Pride, with a global livestream available to audiences everywhere.”
so one of the largest open source data communities on the internet, data.world, got bought out by a company called ServiceNow, who has decided to fucking delete all of it by July 11th. they've given users barely any notice, no emails, just a fucking banner at the top and a blog post from June that gives barely a month to download your data before they fucking delete it all.
a bunch of archives of incredibly important government datasets like maternal mortality statistics are about to be deleted forever. in a regime where they're known to fudge numbers, we can't trust a lot of the data coming from them to not be altered. open source backups like those found on data.world are vital to being able to verify that the data coming from our government is still intact and not altered. and they're about to delete all of it.
i don't know if we need to start a petition or what. nobody seems to fucking care. there are millions of users on data.world and yet nobody is raising the alarm bells and it makes me feel like I'm going insane. somebody needs to do something. i don't know what to do. it feels like more and more of this world is being destroyed and dismantled. it's not only US centric data, either! it's all sorts of countries from around the world! and they're about to fucking delete everything.
the only things that won't be deleted are private companies who happen to use the paid version of their platform (which isn't accessible data to the open source community; some people have just been using their service to host their own data on privately)
and the kicker? this announcement was made... via an AI generated blog post. so not even any sort of human touch. just a generic, soulless announcement made by a soulless human about to take a wrecking ball to one of the more important websites that exists on the internet.
an example of some of the things that will be deleted on July 11th:
The goal of this survey is to collect data on the demographics of and choices made by the Tumblr-based Dragon Age fandom. Everything is 100% anonymous, and all questions on the form are skippable - just keep in mind that the more questions you answer, the more accurate and thorough the data will be!
The form is split into the following sections:
Voter demographics and series-wide preferences - this asks things like your age range, gender, favourite game in the series, and which mainline and side-content installments you've played
Choices specific to and your preferences within Dragon Age: Origins
Choices specific to and your preferences within Draon Age II
Choices specific to and your preferences within Dragon Age: Inquisition
Choices specific to and your preferences within Dragon Age: The Veilguard
And a very optional bonus section where you're invited to share your more specific opinion on each individual main game and companion, along with a place to share any feedback on the blog and suggestions for future tournaments!
This form will remain open for a month - submissions will be accepted until July 7th, and results will be shared shortly after.
It’s funny because this scene must be based on the memoir Special Agent by Candis DeLong. In it she describes being out looking at clothes at a department store on lunch break with another female agent and overhearing a conversation between a man and a woman in which he says he’s an FBI agent. They peer around some clothes racks thinking that they’re going to see one of their fellow agents trying to get a date, and when they don’t recognize the guy they go over and pretend to be interested in the big strong FBI agent themselves and ask to see his badge. The guy actually pulled out a fake badge, whereupon they said “Huh, that doesn’t look anything like ours…”, produced their own badges and arrested him for impersonating an FBI agent. (I remember this bit from a 25 year old book because I actually stole it myself for a fic)

Hello fellow Aussie simmers (and others too of course!)
Ever wished for some really Australian looking trees for the Sims 2? Me too.
I have finally overcome my fear of trees, with much support from amazing friends like @tvickiesims, and would like to share some gifts with you all.
Read on below
Firstly, a while ago, @jacky93sims fulfilled a request to convert some Yeronga Trees. I've taken those, recoloured them a little (cos they were a bit too "green" lol) and made hood deco versions too.
Hood deco:
Lot versions:
These are super pretty, I quite love them.
Next, I found a free model online for a Ghost Gum tree and went "ohhhh, pretty!!!!" and made that into a hood & lot tree.
Lot version is on the left:
Hood version is the 2nd from the left:
Then, I got my fingers into the amazing, wonderful work of Tvickiesims, and I messed around with a buuuuuuunch of trees, mostly just re-sizing and retexturing things. I would like to give a HUGE shoutout to Vickie for ALL of her amazing trees and her support during my project.
I messed with 2 previously done Eucalyptus tree conversions -
Lot view:
Hood view:
I messed around with a cute little "Mimosa tree" and made it into a Golden Wattle tree that flowers in winter (no snow) and spring -
Hood view:
And Lot view in 2 sizes:
Non-flowering state:
I messed around with a conversion from Adventure Awaits that kind of looked like a bottlebrush tree and made it look a bit more like a bottle brush tree, this one is for lots only:
I messed around with the "Mighty Hawthorn Tree" and made it into a "Mighty Gum Tree" instead - on the right
I messed around with Vickie's 4t2 Batuu tree conversion and made it into another gum tree:
Aaaaand I messed with a "rainbow gum" conversion of hers too and retextured and re-sized it - 2nd on the right:
I also took a tree she'd done called the Salix tree and made a slightly larger hood deco version cos I thought it looked a bit like a peppercorn tree, which is technically a South American tree but these are alll over NSW:
I, erm, may have gotten a little carried away.
The fun thing about Australian gums is that there's
a) a million different varieties, and
b) they're all super unique, so I felt like I needed many different tree models😂
Here are some IRL pics of some beautiful gums that I took for inspo while I was working on this project:
Just in case you've never really seen a great big old Australian Gum Tree before 😊 They can be quite huge and rather spectacular!
All trees are "seasonal" as in they have snowy states and should not flash blue in any season (hopefully), and some have flowering states in select seasons. However, Eucalyptus / Gum trees are evergreen so don't change colour or lose their leaves in autumn and tend to stay about the same year-round, so the season variability is fairly low 😊
So, if you'd like to download my trees: here are some links.
i get why people don't believe in marriage as a social construct but legally it is the best and easiest way to say "this is who i trust to take care of me when i can't take care of myself" and i'm so glad gay people fought for that right bc when shit gets scary at least i know im in good hands
People don't remember how one of the worst things to happen to someone in a same sex relationship was having the love of your life hospitalized and all of their medical decisions put into the hands of family they'd cut off years ago. Of having no right to attend, much less plan, your wife's funeral because her body was released to her next of kin. Of not being able to say goodbye because her parents told the hospital you were not allowed to visit.

you have to be able to defend people who are receiving unjust treatment even if they annoy you even if you personally find them extremely annoying you still have to be able to stand up and say "well thats fucked up"
the moral willpower required for "i hate their guts but my personal ethical standard is no xyz and i cannot set the precedent of making an exception for them" is imennse but important work
