I am half-sick of shadows

You can fight ICE by annoying them

Mess up their food/drink orders- Lose their tickets/reservations

Overtighten lug nuts, strip spark plugs

Give them incorrect but real-sounding information

Record them with your phones

Disrupt them with loud noises (car alarms, music, banging metal) and bright lights (flashlights, headlights)

Shame them

(fuck yeah)

The fascists want complacency.

Do not give it to them.

(fuck them white supremacists )

And so all that's left is power, not just because it lets you pass on your suffering but because it lets you force others to see your perspective, and she who can exercise power the least (the poor, black, girl, child) gets the least sympathy and the least ability to have others think of how she sees things and most viewpoints pushed on her.

Thracian Merman (Shark-man?)

The Ancient Greeks named their South Eastern European neighbors the Thracians. The soldiers of Thrace were particularly sought after as mercenaries, and eventually became a permanent Roman client-state. This illustration is based on depictions of Thracian peltast (light infantry man, named after their shield design), in the 5th to 4th century BC, and pottery finds depicting Thracian tattoos.

These mermaids all made it into a mermaid colouring book!

There are also PDF copies available!

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.
