This Is My Favourite Favourite Favourite … LINGER NEAR THE DOOR UNCOMFORTABLY INSTEAD OF JUST LEAVING

actually I'm having a lot of nerves about my top surgery in just a few days now but I'm coping with characters and jokes.

[ID: Hunter in a hospital bed smiling at the camera and holding up two fingers, Luz is excited and giving him two thumbs up next to him. Text reads "I don't have enough scars I'm getting 2 more" with emojis of two daggers, a party popper, a smiley with witch ears, and the healing sigil. end ID.]

New Things to Beware on the Internet

On May 3rd, Google released 8 new top-level domains (TLDs) -- these are new values like .com, .org, .biz, domain names. These new TLDs were made available for public registration via any domain registrar on May 10th.

Usually, this should be a cool info, move on with your life and largely ignore it moment.

Except a couple of these new domain names are common file type extensions: ".zip" and ".mov".

This means typing out a file name could resolve into a link that takes you to one of these new URLs, whether it's in an email, on your tumblr blog post, a tweet, or in file explorer on your desktop.

What was previously plain text could now resolve as link and go to a malicious website where people are expecting to go to a file and therefore download malware without realizing it.

Folk monitoring these new domain registrations are already seeing some clearly malicious actors registering and setting this up. Some are squatting the domain names trying to point out what a bad idea this was. Some already trying to steal your login in credentials and personal info.

This is what we're seeing only 12 days into the domains being available. Only 5 days being publicly available.

What can you do? For now, be very careful where you type in .zip or .mov, watch what website URLs you're on, don't enable automatic downloads, be very careful when visiting any site on these new domains, and do not type in file names without spaces or other interrupters.

I'm seeing security officers for companies talking about wholesale blocking .zip and .mov domains from within the company's internet, and that's probably wise.

Be cautious out there.

[after saying something completely normal] be honest do you think i should ever speak again

― Margaret Atwood, You are Happy

and sometimes when i think a meteor should destroy earth, us, i stop and remember.

i remeber there are still people who read on the subway. i remember there are little boys switching r to w when they speak. i remember there are old couples who still speak german because it was the first language they learned at the small german colony where they were born. i remember there are girls scared to make it official. and boys and girls in the path of falling in love with eachother. and boys in love who live together with their cats like an old married couple. and beautiful boys who play bass at church.

i remember there are big fluffy dogs the next doors. i remember someone still has lot of paper cranes to make before one thousand. i remember there are songs to be played in a guitar and to be sang to a crowd. i remember there are boybands yet to go huge. i remember there are museums holding so much art that is just waiting to be seen again tomorrow. i remember there are writers yet to show their writings to the world and love confessions yet to be made to beautiful boys who play bass at church.

i remember there are volleyball matches to be played in a couple of days. i remember there are ice cream flavors just waiting to be created. i remember there are people waiting to be bumped on and make friends with the bumper. i remember there are college professors with a lot of dad jokes to make and interesting remarks about your country's literature to teach.

i remeber there are big brothers living away from their little sisters who want to see them again. i remember there are parents counting the days to travel abroad to see the son they haven't seen in a couple of years. i remember that there are cousins who don't talk anymore just wanting a little bit of courage to reach out to eachother.

i remeber there is an ocean waiting for children to play in it tomorrow and waiting for new sailors to depart in their first journey. and a sky waiting for more planes to cross it and for rockets to leave it. and sunflowers waiting to be loved by teenagers just as much as they were loved by a dutch painter over a century ago. and dandellions waiting to carry people's whishes to the divinity they believe in.

so when i want a meteor to destroy us, i remember there are so many things a breath away from happening if we let the planet and its people live. there are so many things we get to appreciate and can keep appreciating if we let our planet and our people live

so when i want a meteor to destroy us i roll up my sleeves and fight for my planet and my people the way i can. there are things already lost, but we can pick up what we can save and show them what truly makes us human

yes i recognize this is just how people should be treated normally and how things should go. normally. but when it comes to me. well. I have lived. a life

Me: You know how when you were a kid and you’d wish that you’d get sick or injured in a way that would justify why you didn’t live up to your potential?

Everybody, apparently: No?
