what does it look like, that shape in the glass?
a long crooked shadow refusing to pass
in flesh-rending fragments its profiles amass
that awful dread-presence, that shape in the glass

Delete your Twitter. Now.
For You "Elon Saved Free Speech" White Knight Assholes: Read the New Terms of Service Released Today X just updated their Terms of Service effective January 15, 2026. Here's what you agreed to: AI TRAINING RIGHTS GRAB: Everything you post becomes training data for their Al models. Every thought, opinion, creative work. You're building their models for free. No compensation. No opt out. PERPETUAL CONTENT LICENSE: They get a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, copy, modify, and distribute your content "for any purpose" in "any media now known or later developed." Forever. They can sell it. Give it to governments. Anything. FORCED JURISDICTION: All disputes must be filed in Tarrant County, Texas. You waive the right to join class actions. If they wrong millions of users, you sue alone in THEIR court. ARBITRARY TERMINATION: They can delete your account "for any other reason or no reason at our convenience." Years of content, connections, reputation. Gone. Zero due process. $15,000 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: Access more than 1 million posts in 24 hours and you owe $15,000. Per million. Journalists and researchers investigating the platform face financial ruin. GOVERNMENT DISCLOSURE: They reserve the right to hand your DMs, drafts, and entire history to governments based on what they "reasonably believe" is necessary. ANTI-JAILBREAK CLAUSE: Testing their Al systems, exposing censorship mechanisms, or security research is now explicitly a Terms violation. They added "prompt engineering or injection" to prohibited conduct.

You need to contact your representative and demand that Section 230 be protected, not repealed, NOW.

hey do you want to show appreciation to your loved ones in discord dms or other places that use markdown, but struggle with earnest vulnerability? boy howdy, look no further!

(alternatively, if the meaningful message doesn’t matter, just take a sharpie to a letter and send it in the mail) #comic
2 panel comic titled “A Guide to Telling Your Friends How Much You Love Them” by Alex Plante 1. write a nice, vulnerable heartfelt message. struggle to hit "send" because society has dumb implied rules, and you are a COWARD. [drawing] message that reads: hey I just wanted to tell you that I am so glad we're friends! I'm a better person than I was before I met you, and knowing you has improved my life in every way. Thanks for always being there for me! Nothing makes me happier than dicking around and talking shit with you. I will always be there, fighting in your corner. Love you forever (or until I die) <3 2. strategically place spoiler tags. now it's funny, so you HAVE to send it, or go to jail for the crime of "not committing to the bit" haha get cherished, losers! [drawing] same message, but words have been redacted to make it read: “hey just wanted to tell you that I’m a better person than you in every way. Thanks for Nothing dick shit. I will fight you forever until I die.”

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being.

Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.
A quoted tweet from a user named Sam that reads: "How Twitter is rigged Type in all caps because you're excited? Lowers your reputation. Include links? Your score goes down. It's like the Credit Score system from Hell. And given Cisgender is treated as a slur & MAGA boosted, you can guess what's categorized as 'offensive'" The tweet they quoted is from user SADIQ and reads: "Tweepcred is X's reputation system Based on your behavior, you get a tweepcred score It determines your reach Break the algo rules, you score goes down and your reach disappears What are the rules of the X algo tho? Glad you asked." SADIQ includes a photo of Twitter's algorithm code that calculates a user's reputation. SADIQ continues: "Post 'offensive text'? 80% reach reduction Offensive username? 80% reach reduction All caps tweet? That's seen as 'shouting. Major penalization. Include links? Yup, penalized"

#SaveSpeech

Blattodea (cockroaches and termites) and Mantodea (mantises) are sister groups in the superorder Dictyoptera. Both groups lay egg cases called ootheca, and they share several specific anatomical features.

‼️Important Update‼️

There have been increasing reports of people receiving verbal abuse when calling in complaints

So we've put together steps + a script to follow if this happens!

Please be careful out there

↻💬♡ to help spread the info!
***Important Notice*** If you are calling Visa, there have been increasing reports of harassment from Visa representatives, including calling people rapists If this happens to you, please take the following actions: 1) Stay calm! Do NOT engage in harassment back 2) Request to speak to a supervisor 3) If they refuse or hung up on you, call back and *immediately* escalate to a supervisor 4) Put in a complaint of the behavior (script below) 5) Afterwards *or* if they refuse to take your complaint, submit a BBB complaint (script below) Call Center Abuse Complaint: Hello, I'm calling to submit an official complaint about abuse I received from a call center representative today. I called at (time) and spoke with (name, if you know it). Their behavior was beyond inappropriate. The representative said (provide details). Once finished submitting that complaint, tell them you would still like to file the initial complaint you called about. BBB script: I'm filing a complaint in regards to their conduct when I called in to inquire about the situation between them and several gaming platforms. Upon mentioning the nature of my call the representative on the phone was exceptionally rude to me. They (insert details here). This sort of behavior is unprofessional and unacceptable. This should not be how they treat their customers. BBB script pt 2 (what you're looking for them to do in response): I would like a formal apology, my initial complaint to be processed, and the company to re-train their call center staff to prevent such occurrences in the future.

But we can EASILY top 1,000!

Cheat Sheet v.2

nothing from the prior version is incorrect, but ive made it a little easier to read, plus included a bit more helpful information

MAKE YOUR CALLS!!!
WHY? On July 2025, Steam, a popular storefront to purchase games on PC, and itch.io, a storefront that sells games, comics, tools, resources and much more, have recently delisted several NSFW games, after the group Collective Shout published an open letter to payment processors such as Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, and more. As a result of this letter, payment processors have strongarmed Valve and itch.io into enforcing restrictive new TOS policies on what kind of content their platforms can host and sell. Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and Paypal have been censoring free speech and legal business on the internet for TOO LONG. Their most recent targets are Steam and Itch.io, but they have also been pressuring websites like Pixiv, Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans and MORE for years, applying draconian standards for what kind of adult/pornographic content platiorms and their users can host and sell. If we as consumers and creators want to regain ground on this issue, we have to make our voice heard. HOW? BOMBARD THEM WITH PHONE CALLS Collective Shout, the organization that lobbied to have Steam and Itch.io change their TOS, did so with only around 1000 phone calls. Visa and MC have backed down from pressuring Onlyians to remove adult content entirely due to public backlash. Clogging their phone lines for an extended perlou, over a mont at the absolute least, will almost gudrantee that these compantes will at least have to pay attention to the backlash. this list is not exhaustive. but some contact points for the 4 targets are: 1. VISA: (US + Can): +1 [8001-847-2911 US option selection for operator: 1-1-2 or 1-1-3 2. MASTERCARD: (US): +1 (8001-307-7309 US option selection for operator: 1-1-2-2-2-1 Phone (outside US): 1-636-722-7111 3. STRIPE: (Headquarters): +118881 963-8955 (France): +33 805-11-19-67 Stripe: complaints@stripe.com 4. PAYPAL: (US): +1 (888)-221-1161 (outside US): 1-402-935-2050 Customer Service: +1 (877)-569-1116

If you are on android, hold down your home button until Google Lens is triggered, press the image, then hit "select text".

It's not perfect but it's better than having to rely on a faulty system that doesn't always post it even if people do remember.

That being said:
If ICE Agents Show Up At Your Door: Don't open the door, but be calm. You have rights. Ask what they are there for, (and ask for an interpreter if you need one). If they ask to enter, ask if they have a warrant signed by a judge* and if so, ask to see it (through a window or slipped under the door). If they do NOT have a warrant signed by a judge*, you may refuse to let them in. Ask them to leave any information at your door. If they force their way in, don't resist. Tell everyone in the residence to remain silent. If you are arrested, remain silent and do not sign anything until you speak to a lawyer. *An ICE administrative warrant (form I-200, I-205) does not allow them to enter your home without your consent.
