How I (personally) Pirate Things. This Is By No Means A Great Extensive Perfect Guide, Ill Just Give

Starting 2023 by checking in on which emulators are currently #1 🏆

I reviewed Emulation Wiki's updates and updated my Top Emulators guide with the latest and greatest emulators.

My guide goes into more detail and gives different recommendations for different audiences. This graphic is simplified for social media and not intended to be the end-all and be-all.

i have no idea how unknown or not this advice is, i might be saying 'the sky is blue', but if you're ever in a situation where your car needs work or replacement parts and you either want to buy those parts yourself or have a baseline idea of what those parts are worth when looking at a quote from a mechanic, i highly recommend taking a look at rockauto dot com first.

i made a free to use, 100% customizable comment widget for neocities users! it's really easy to install and add comment sections to any page. no more boring cbox or external guestbooks if you don't want them! and it comes with two themes to get you started!! please enjoy! you can find it here on my personal site!

'Transfem DIY HRT' and 'Transmasc DIY HRT' are a pair of zines aimed at teaching transgender people how to safely self-administer DIY Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).

Both zines are 100% free to download here from Little Mouse (who also made the zine). Print, share and distribute to those who need it!

The information contained in this zine is collated from, and openly available from, DIYHRT.info.

Anyway if you all are sick of watching White Lady (and White Dude) Leftist content talking about popular fandoms and internet culture, check out some of these creators on Youtube. Not an exhaustive list, feel free to add your own. I tried to stick to a similar theme, but there is some variation.

Harriyanna Hook, who focuses on nostalgic properties through the lense of a black woman.

Jacob Geller, a Jewish man who does deep dives into various media. Mostly horror and sci-fi.

Kennie JD, a black woman that does this excellent series called bad movies and a beat every week on Saturday. A series where she reviews bad movies (often terrible romantic comedies and bad horror movies) while putting on her makeup.

D'Angello Wallace, a black man that focuses on internet culture, media, and people of interest. Sometimes shorter videos, sometimes deep dives. He used to be an art channel but now focuses more on culture than art.

Xiran Jay Zhao, a Chinese woman in who looks at media and focuses on the tokenism and appropriation of Asian culture.

T1J, who talks about culture, media, and social issues through the lens of a black man. He also has big Dad Energy.

Lady Knight The Brave, a Jewish woman who does deep dives into various media, often ones that have big fandoms attached.

Ada on Demand. A black woman that talks about social issues and culture, with a focus on pop culture.

Reignbot, a Filipino non-binary person that focuses their content on horror and ARGs and true crime.

Tee Noir, who focuses on various media, culture, and social platforms through the lens of a black queer woman.

Shopping for laptops fucking sucks ‘cause I don’t know shit about computers. I’ve never had a computer with a functional webcam or microphone or the ability to play computer games made later than 2005 or a speaker that could play anything loud enough to hear from more than a foot away. How the hell should I know what I want?!
