Perse !

i’ve gotten a fair few new followers recently, so i wanted to tell everyone once again that my best friend @plaidos has a twitch channel, and when she gets another 152 followers to hit 1k total, she’s going to play undertale AND deltarune. she’s played undertale before, but it’s been a hot minute, and then she’s going mostly blind into deltarune. [tenna voice] but that’s! not! all! we’re going to be voice acting the entirety of both games as a team. that means a BLIND playthrough of deltarune, fully voice acted and experienced LIVE, together. if that interests you, please please please drop Roxanne a follow 🙏

we are SO close to her goal! following is totally free and only takes a second 🩷

Check it out at afroindex.org! 💛✨

Water tight doors! You get a special training video on interacting with these correctly because they will literally cut you in half if you try and go through them while they’re closing!

Freezer vaults for food in the sub decks - you can only get into these with the correct code and they have very thick walls. Good luck if you get shut in one of these just after the last round of checks bucko

There are cameras everywhere…except in the crew cabin corridors. Also there are no windows down there because unless you’re an officer, you live below the waterline. Day and night have no meaning because everything is in the same slightly unsettling yellow light.

Don’t piss off the guys who deal with the rubbish. They have machines down there that can crush metal barrels

As well as morgues, cruise ships usually have one basic operating theatre with all the attendant horrifying equipment in it

One cigarette thrown carelessly in the wrong place WILL start a fire that will gut half the ship.

When we’re pitching side to side, the anchor swings out and then back in, striking the metal outer shell with a noise that shakes half the ship

People disappear overboard more often than you’d really want to be a thing

A lot of cruise ships now have theatres on board (usually towards the front) with all the potential for dark corners, creepy costumes and electrical calamities you could want.

help a trans woman escape her transphobic home country by watching her build lego!!!

with my home country passing more and more transphobic legislation every day, it's becoming clear to everybody who knows me that i desperately need to relocate to live with my wife as soon as possible. unfortunately, this means spending thousands of dollars in lawyers, plane tickets, application fees etc -- but we have a solution.

from April 6th to April 8th, i'm going to be building a huge (4500 piece!!!) LEGO castle -- among other sets -- on Twitch with my bestest friends in the world. we're starting with the Lion Knights' Castle, but the more donations we get, the more sets we're going to build. i have an untouched stack of LEGO from around a decade of birthdays (something about my personality screams "buy me LEGO") so we could literally take this for thousands upon thousands of bricks.

mark it in your calendar, throw this post in your queue:

APRIL 6TH through APRIL 8TH!

Noterook is a social platform where your posts live on your device, not on a server. You have a Book - you write in it, and when you find something you love on someone else's Book, you staple it into yours. That's how things spread: not by algorithm, but by people actively choosing to keep something. If a thousand people staple a post, it exists in a thousand places. No single point of failure, no one entity controlling it.

The server is a phonebook, not a filing cabinet. It knows your username, your avatar, and that's about it. Your content is stored locally, cryptographically signed so nobody can forge or tamper with it, and cached on the server only as an opaque blob it can't read. When you go offline, you choose how long that cache sticks around - anywhere from zero seconds to thirty days. If the server gets subpoenaed or hacked, there's nothing useful to take.

It's built for people whose posts could be used against them - queer folks in hostile places, artists, writers, kink communities, anyone who's watched a platform promise safety and then sell them out. No engagement metrics, no algorithmic feed, no ads (user self-service ads for shilling your own commissions nonwithstanding, at a later date). You own your copies. Export your data whenever you want. The architecture is the policy: if the server doesn't have your stuff, nobody can take it from you.

It's like tumblr but if it was made by someone that doesn't hate you and has no desire to add features for the sake of adding features. I'm going to finish the site and then I will let it live in maintenance mode forever occasionally doing security updates. If I ever decide that I no longer want to do Noterook, I will open source it for the community to take over.
