reblogging to share the resource but I do want to point out that the code amounts to “pinterest no pinning”. like dora the explorer’s swiper the fox… but if swiper were a middle-aged stay-at-home-mom with a smartphone. technology is truly amazing
Pinterest is a plague when trying to reverse image search
This fella secretly recorded his disability assessment hearing and caught them lying about his ability to work
“Under government rules, secret or covert recording like this is banned. If it is spotted, the claimant is told to stop. If they refuse it is likely that their benefit application will be rejected …. A claimant does have the right to ask for a PIP interview to be formally taped and used as evidence, but unlike other disability benefits like ESA, they have to provide their own equipment. This must be a secure, tamper-proof double recorder which can cost as much as £1,500. A mobile phone, digital recorder or dictaphone does not meet the requirements.”
Extremely handy if you follow a lot of people and hate missing anything good.

It’s rolling out this week on iOS and Android, and comes with this Help Center article.
Thanks! ✌️
Head’s up folks! Tumblr decided to shit the bed and go non-chronological!
This bullshit is being rolled out this week and it’s going to be default!
This is dangerous and manipulative.
The main reasons for these “algorithms” that Instagram, Facebook and Twitter have rolled out are manipulating what people see. Content they want you to see gets pushed to the top, anything threatening to their interests gets quietly tossed to the bottom so you’ll be too tired or bored to see it.
I can see this seriously messing with the livelihood of artists, so please reblog if you can!
CDEMA said there was “severe damage” to farm housing, irrigation and infrastructure, feeder roads as well as crop and livestock production, in addition to forests reserves and coastal fishery. Many feeder and farm roads are impassable resulting in loss of available food for both consumption and marketing. Loss of poultry and livestock were reported.
There were also reports of loss, damage or destruction of agricultural tools and infrastructure such as spades, forks, pruning shears, and greenhouses.
Organisation of Eastern Caribbean (OECS) Commissioner, and Grenada Ambassador to CARICOM, Ambassador Patrick Antoine, visited the island earlier this week and painted a dire picture of the situation there generally, and put agriculture in perspective.
“Agriculture in Dominica, as we know it, now ceases to exist. I am not now talking about bananas; I am talking about… trees, horticultural aspects of the ecosystem as we know it to be in Dominica, the Nature Island… most of those have been destroyed.” he said at a press briefing on Tuesday.
Imperial palms, mango, coconut and breadfruit trees, the perennials, are all gone, he reported.
“So for the first time, Dominica, is going to be facing, for the foreseeable future, unfortunately, a level of food insecurity that it hasn’t known before. And that is certainly something that has to be put before us. Our OECS Community and the broader CARICOM family now have to get together with Dominica… to see how we try, very urgently to see how we can rehabilitate agriculture going forward. Let me tell you that the hurricane left nothing untouched. The root crops have been covered by alluvial material – stones and sand – in a way that makes it indistinguishable. All of those things are now gone”, he said.
