Three things make a post
Feb. 7th, 2024 10:40 am+ I am considering doing Fandom Trumps Hate, but for some inexplicable reason, I am intimidated by it in a way that I am not for exchanges. I would love to hear about other people's experiences with participating!
Also, does anyone know whether I can do a thing where I say, I'll write Pairing A up to 10k words and something Character X-centric up to 5k words?
+ I have become consumed with the need to see the Royal Shakespeare Company's 2022 take on Much Ado About Nothing. It's on BBC iPlayer. However, even with my VPN, I cannot get the page to load properly. I've tried a bunch of different UK proxies and none of them work.
Does anyone know a) where I can watch it elseweb (legally or illegally, I do not care) or b) live in the US and have a VPN that allows you to watch stuff on the BBC site? If it's just a problem with my VPN, I will switch VPNs. But I don't want to go to that bother if it's not going to work on another VPN.
+ And now I need to vent: my mom got an Instagram account a few years ago so she could see the pictures of my niblings that my sister posts (reasonable). Unfortunately in the last couple of months she's discovered Reels, and she keeps sending me all these videos of people telling you how not to get your house broken into or to not get kidnapped by your Uber driver. It's pure fear-mongering! I hate that she is watching these, especially because we worked so long to get her to not spend much time on Facebook! BOO SOCIAL MEDIA.
I also know that she has zero idea how to tell what's real and what's not, what's AI generated and what's not (even when it seems obvious to me, what is a legit website and what's not. I worry about her online all the time! I do not like this!
