Clexacoon Pocket Tee Giveaway!

OKIEDOKIE I am doing a Clexacoon Pocket Tee giveaway. These are shirts that had some minor imperfections on the pocket part of the print. A little thing of thread got stuck, and left it white where color should be. For the most part they still look great! 

These shirts are Unisex tees. I have 2 Medium sized shirts, and one XL shirt. If you need sizing information, redbubble unisex shirts are a good reference.

Rules:

-Like and reblog this! (you don’t have to follow me, but it’s nice if you do)

-Please be 18yo+

-Winner has to be comfortable with giving me their shipping address (Worldwide shipping is ok)

If  you already have a shirt from Clexacon, please give others that didn’t go a chance. I’m going to select a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winner. Since I only have those 2 sizes left, first place gets first choice, etc.

ENDS 12AM APRIL 21.

Unlearn it. Racism, sexism, and homophobia are constructs.

If there was a way to run SUPER MEGA AD BLOCKER on this website I fucking would

My favorite kind of giveaway is a definitely f/f book giveaway. 

I’ve decided to do my first ever giveaway featuring some of my favorite fantasy/science fiction books and even some that are coming out this year, or early next that I’m really excited for. Books that feature magic, dragons, warriors, amazing world building. Unexplainable creatures, or creatures from myths and legends. Books that transfer you to whole new universes, and retellings from familiar bedtime stories. The only thing they would have in common? It’s very gay.

Before I talk about the rules, I’m going to list the books that will be in the giveaway. I’ll be shipping anywhere Book Depository ships, so it will be an international giveaway.

Here’s what’s being given away:

Two books from any of the listed books

You have two chances to win. The first will be by reblogging and liking the post. You do not have to be following me. The last chance to enter - send me an ask with a book(s) you love, or a book you’re excited about that’s coming out soon. 

I’ll be picking two winners. One from the actual post, the other from the asks. Both winners will receive two of these books on the list. Reblog as many times as you like, but no giveaway blogs allowed. 

A winner will be picked with a random number generator on September 14th, 2019. It will close 11:59pm PST. I will be sending out a message to the winners the very next day so make sure your inbox or instant messenger is open. Must be okay with giving out your name and address. Again, I’ll be shipping anywhere Book Depository ships, so it will be international.

No giveaway blogs allowed. 

For the ask entry, I’m going to limit it to just three asks. I will be answering them, so you also need to be okay with not being anonymous. Of course, anonymous messages won’t count since I need to see your username. 

Instant messaging does not count, but if you have questions I will have it open. 

If you win, you will have 48 hours to reply to my message before I pick another winner. 

If you are a minor, please ask for your parent’s/guardian's permission before entering. You will have to give me your name and address if you win, and some of these books are adult novels.

If you have any questions, feel free to message me. 

Good luck fellow book lovers.

*Pretends to be shocked*

This is not a rejection of the Internet or your precious digital connections. If anything, you'll find you rediscover your digital agency and how it's been stripped from you! You'll engage in new ways online that put you in the drivers' seat. You'll also find your values start to shift. You'll stop asking if a service can do something for you, and instead ask what it wants from you in return--and whether that's a price worth paying, especially if it's "free."

It's also not a course for those deep into the InfoSec world (Information Security). I won't teach you how to go dark, how to move around the web entirely anonymously. But I will teach you how to take steps toward that direction, so that the path is available to you once these short weeks are up.

To that end, I will recommend systems and services that some people who are deep into infosec won't like. Internet nerds have deep and well informed opinions and controversies erupt all the time. For instance, some people recently are angry at Mozilla for some changes they are making, so they recommend not using Firefox. That's just one example. Some will be upset to find that I am still recommending Firefox -- among many other options.

Why? For one, I want to recommend user-friendly systems of many stripes. I will never tell you to just use one thing: the ball is in your court! I'll also tell you when there are concerns, some of which you may care about and others you won't. I don't think there is (or should be) one system to rule them all. There should be many options. We should use many of them, instead of just one. It's way more freeing to do so.

I also want to get you used to something new: moving. Jumping ship. Right now, we think of moving from one service to another like moving a house you've lived in for fifty years. It's a huge burden, and exhausting to even consider. This forces a kind of lock-in where users never want to leave. Tech companies count on this. Academics hand-wring over this form of lock-in, especially in social media.

But once you get started moving your data around, taking agency in how you work the web, you'll see it's actually much easier than you thought. That way, you might move to a new browser and not like it very much (for whatever reason)-- and instead of going back to Google, you'll try something new. Easy peasy. No moving company involved.

I'll clue you in to a different way to use the web. You'll pay more attention to tech gossip. You'll know if a company is doing something nefarious or making a change. You'll know what to do if so. You'll already have one foot out the door anyway. 

That's because Opting Out isn't just about leaving systems we don't like -- it's about opting in to systems and communities we value instead.
