eurothug4000 — The Loneliest Megastructure That Forgot Itself

Metal Garden takes place in a brutalist megastructure where, after countless civilisations, an exit from the confines of its walls has finally been found. What secrets lie beyond?

Scientology is bad and should be stopped. I hope this video helps cultivate empathy among anyone who mocked victims and survivors of the cult.
Lonely people need their needs met too, and if your support systems exclude them, then they'll seek elsewhere.

We have a Mothers' Day and a Fathers' Day.
We need: Infertility Day, Childless by Choice Day, and Childless by Circumstance Day.
Ideally also: an Unplanned Parents' Day, Children's Day and Elderly Day.

Fuck it: Chosen Family Week for everyone!
If any of that seem like too much to you, please do consider why you consider DNA similarity more important than well-being.

IDK how people affected by it directly or indirectly would feel, but a miscarriage day might also help some people.

IDK how people affected by it directly or indirectly would feel, but a Miscarriage Day might also help some people.

Apparently there is stigma about experiencing pregnancy loss.

Regardless of cause or intent, not just anti-medical abortion people but some people victim-blame anyone who goes through a spontaneous abortion, including people who wanted to be pregnant.
('Abortion' means to end something before the expected finish. Spontaneous means sudden. A spontaneous abortion is when your body ends a pregnancy without your input.)

Not all pregnancies are viable, not all pregnancies remain viable, and abortion is a human right for anyone who can become pregnant.
Children are a goddamn gift! Forcing someone to care for another human when they're not willing and ready is horrifically cruel to all involved.

Hell, the name 'miscarriage' itself is victim-blamey. To carry out a process or a sentence is to do something successfully or to completion. To miscarry is to 'fail' at doing that thing.

Consider the phrase 'cervical incompetence', when describing the cervix. The cervix is the... it's either the bit facing the vaj or the tube between the vagina (tube past the vulva lips) and the uterus ('womb' connecting the Fallopian tubes to the vagina).

Uhhhh, anyway, cervical incompetence is when that tube is weak or weakened and lets too much into or out of the uterus. I think it's a pregnancy (obstetrics) thing, but it might cover stuff like Pelvic Inflammatory Disease too.

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, or PID, can lead to infertility btw, if that's something important to you.
Sexually Transmitted Infections, or STIs, can malinger, so please test regularly for them (or whenever you remember) when you can.

Older term: STDs for Sexually Transmitted Diseases.
A disease is a collection of symptoms (maybe? Pls feel free to correct or add nuance) whereas an infection is a situation where harmful microorganisms reach a noticeable population inside a living creature.

The vagina is acidic to prevent harmful bacteria overgrowth or (any?) yeast or fungal growth.
The uterus isn't as acidic afaik, so it's more vulnerable to infections from any microorganisms that get that far.
Microorganisms are bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast, protozoa, and probably more because the tree of life is a fucking forest.

USB cables can be classified into USB Type A, USB Type B, USB Type C, USB Micro, USB Mini, and Lightning based on their physical design. Furthermore, USB connectors are divided into various versions based on their speeds, like USB 1.0, USB 2.0, USB 3.0, and USB 4.0.

And of course the nice new USB C cables were mandated by the EU or whatever to make Apple change iPhones so everybody’s cables work everywhere

And I’ve got three different kinds of USB C-shaped cables that all have different characteristics because making the same socket is almost worse than having different connectors for each capability 🔌

"The future of Procreate Folio

Over the next three months we'll be shutting down the art sharing aspect of Procreate Folio to focus on Discussions. This may seem sudden, but there has been recent activity that has forced us to take action to protect our community.

When we started Procreate Folio we were driven to create an independent art-sharing community where everyone was welcome. Since 2018, when Folio was launched, the internet has changed. We're now at a point where we're constantly fighting spam bots and harmful content.
This year, we've been making tough choices regarding how we choose to spend our time. We want to be laser focused on delivering amazing creative software and investing in our community. For our community, this means listening to feedback, sharing our development process, providing help, and teaching skills.

From today, we'll be disabling the upload of any new artworks to Procreate Folio, and the Popular, and Recent tabs will be removed. Over the next three months you can still access your artworks through your profile, so please make sure that you save all artworks during this time. After this point, these files will be removed from our servers.

One thing that's not going away, is our Discussion boards. In fact, we're going to be simplifying them so we can be a lot more active. Ideas & Suggestions, Help & Support, Resources, Marketplace, and General will continue. If you have content under Stories, Artists' Advice, and Hardware & Accessories, you may also wish to back this up, as these boards will be closed on July 1.

We understand this is hard for those of you looking for an alternative way to connect with other creators. Our passion for your art remains strong, please use #procreate on your preferred social platforms so we can all still enjoy everything you're making.
From everyone here at Procreate, thank you for sharing your artwork over the last few years and we can't wait to continue the conversation with you all in the discussion boards."

Life in the UK Test Cheat Sheet

Read the summary of key acts and laws that you need to know for the Life in the UK Test. British history condensed into one page.

My intent with this is to make fellow immigrants laugh, not inflame tensions. But you know, fuck it. If people get pissy and any post blows up:

Wear a reusable respirator. They reduce risks from any respiratory thing they block or reduce. Personally, that's pollen and hayfever, but also air pollution near roads or trains.
Apply sun block. (Yes: even in the UK and/or on darker skin. If you have organs, they can develop cancers. Take vitamin D2 or D3, e.g. in canned fish, since most UK residents are deficient in it.)

Drink water; sips are fine. Do a little stretch now and then.
Close your eyes for like a minute every hour, at least, especially if you stare at screens a lot.

If you're angry at any of what I wrote or summarised, then please consider taking a break.
Go do something you find relaxing and fun. Even if 'just' a cuppa or calling a friend. Little changes make big things easier to handle.
