Do the little things you can:

1) Cover for the vulnerable (you didn't see shit)
2) Donate to aid organizations
3) Slow down (don't rush aside for an ICE car convoy)
4) Witness (because someone will care about the truth later)
5) Spend your dollars wisely when you can
6) Vocally express this is not OK (silence helps the oppressors)
7) Spanners in the works (Grand Juries not indicting protestors for example)

No individual act is too small; and all the little acts add up.

Latest reminder that if you buy an appliance of any kind that has an Internet connection, you are not the owner. You should understand that the seller can -- and many do -- remotely disable it or extort a "subscription" fee at any point.

This should be illegal, period.

In today's non-political what the fuck news, from Northern Germany; a car veered off the road, crashed through a hedge, hit a 7-year old on a trampoline, and got catapulted into the air before crashing into a nearby barn, about 3 meters into the air, on its side.

(Serious injuries, but nobody died)

With that fixed... I resubbed to #FFXIV to try the new relic thing and I'm actually having fun in the game again. Also because I want that spider mount from PvP series 8.

I read through the 7.1x and 7.2x patch notes. I didn't know that they are giving a free fantasia through a moogle in Gridania (old Gridania, waterfall, where the achievement guy is) that is available until 7.3 releases. It's due to adjustments made to some character models.

Hey, if anyone with #epilepsy #migraine or other photosensitivity problems play #FFXIV #ff14 & need help protecting themselves from the excessive VFX of the bosses, esp in #DawnTrail I've made presets for the #Dalamud plugin #EasyEyes

It does *not* remove all VFX, but anything full screen & flashy, strobing, or cumulative problematic effects, is definitely gone. I'm gonna work backwards into other expacs as well

Right. So this will be a weird ask, so boost for reach.

I'm looking for a picture of my grandfather.

"But Sara. None of us will have a picture of your gramps!"

Well, you might. Evidently there's a photo of him and his cousin Gene in "The Authorized Biography of Gene Roddenberry".

If you have this book (and I do know some Trekkies), can you look for a photo with of man identified as 'Richard "Dick" Golemon'?

Thanks in advance! #startrek
