PSA to Canadians buying stuff from the states: the "broker fee" that UPS leverages is something you can opt out of. I have saved $100 so far this year doing this. I wish I'd known sooner; I thought the fee UPS sometimes charges on International packages was basically a convenience fee. (1/6)

On the left, a receipt from CBSA for $3.58 in customs fees. On the right, UPS' delivery notice with the handwritten broker fee for the same package: $41.56.

I unironically use my local library a lot. Ebooks, audio books, physical books, the seed exchange, the meeting spaces?? Passport services?? Citizenship and English classes? I grew up in the teen hangout area as a housing insecure youth with a bad parent. Libraries are important, I'm pissed

the only way forward for video games is self-published games made by properly-organised studios

corporate ownership will fire all of you in the end.

I feel like I need to tap the sign cause I keep seeing people trying to "dunk" on hateful peeps on my feed.

Put links in your profiles and freely share links in your posts themselves, make it easy! I will continue reminding everyone that Bluesky does NOT suppress posts with links (like other social media platforms do)!

key-lime pie @keymonster.bsky.social · Jan 2

Artists/crafters/sculptors/makers, please, please, PLEASE put your shop links in ALL your social profiles.
It breaks my heart when I find an amazing and skilled creative who doesn’t have their shop links accessible and I have to dig. I will dig, but many others wont.
Help others support you! 🌱

needing AI to make convos and cute dates and hot smut of your fav is a skill issue

senpi 🔞 @spankmaths.bsky.social · Jan 2

said it once and i'll say it again. we as a society do NOT need ai generated images or ai chatbots to engage with our faves. if you're down bad enough for a character they will start beaming dialogue directly into your head and you will be able to hear it in their voice

I usually end up demolishing my personal builds to leu of new inspirations & Ideas or the release of new items- hoping this one lasts a nice while. At the least it'll be my final build for 2024. 😅
