You run an ebay search for, say, “Halloween Leggings” and you get a result that looks like this.
It shows up nice and high in the list of results because $2.40 is pretty cheap for leggings.
And then this happens.
You’re trying every combination of color and size, and the price keeps coming back as $9.57. What the hell? Where are the cheap ones?
And then you find this. Buried down at the bottom, there’s this. A completely unrelated item for a much lower price.
This takes many forms. For clothing, it’s usually a pair of shorts or panties. For electronics, it’s often a $5 USB cable.
And it is making the sort-by option on eBay unusable.
Fortunately there might be something we can do about it.
Ebay isn’t super-transparent about how listings can be reported. You’d think this should be reported under “search and browse manipulation” but it’s not. It’s here.
It is impossible for one person to report thousands of eBay vendors but if this happens enough, the sellers might get tired of having their listings removed, and knock it off.
On Feb. 20th, 1939, the German-American Bund, an American Nazi party, held a giant rally at Madison Square Garden in NYC
They adopted George Washington as their icon, calling him the “First Fascist.” Check out the “Fight Jewish Domination of Christian America” banner and the advertisement for the “Real Press” the “Free American” propaganda paper.
And just like today there was a counter-protest outside, one that was met with heavily armed police
Guess what happened when any of the Nazis so much as dared to step outside the Garden
Yeah, punched in the jaw. Even the “American Fuhrer” Fritz Kuhn was rushed on the stage by a Jewish man who tried to, wait for it, punch him in the face.
And guess what the media called these people? “Rabid anti-Nazis” who “clashed with police.” They made the anti-Nazi side seem crazed and violent and the Nazis sympathetic victims just trying to Exercise Free Speech.
This was 1939. The height of Nazism in Germany, just before the Final Solution. Liberals chose to demonize Nazi punching in the 1930′s, but guess what? It worked then, and it’ll work now.

At the age of 67, mom was diagnosed with adhd. At 73, my best friend’s dad was diagnosed with autism. They are both now receiving proper treatment. It’s never too late to get the help you need.
y’all: peter was able to stop bucky’s fist in civil war bc bucky heard peter’s voice, realized he was a child, then weakened his punch bc he was so worried about hurting a child uwu
me, eating pistachios: y’all know peter can canonically lift up to 75 tons, right. y’all know bucky’s fist is easy as hell for peter to block, right. y’all know bucky didn’t know shit about peter being a child and was just shocked that someone was able to so easily block his punch, right. y’all know that, right.
naw fuck that bucky’s punches aren’t easy to block, it’s WAY funnier if peter blocked a full force punch from bucky, who only a few seconds later realizes he’s a kid as soon as peter opens his mouth
that’s the face of a man who went from “holy shit he blocked my punch?” to “holY SHiT a 12 YEARoLD BLOCKED mY PUNCH???” in 3 seconds flat.
A wonderful piece about fandom history, friendships, and legacies.
Dee called AO3 a “candy store,” and said the fan art she has seen, in particular, has been overwhelming. “I cannot get over the art,” she said. “We would have jumped at this. I would’ve given my right tit for all this art when I was in my twenties. Because you couldn’t reproduce it, you couldn’t send it out, but [now] there’s this fabulous art coming out every single day.”
Yes. Yes. Yes. This is how it happened. Excellent article.

Would any if you peeps be interested in if I made a little post about spray paint? Like I want to show some people how I do it and maybe if y’all feel like it y’all can try it
Nobody said yes but
TO BAD
let’s
Do this
Step one
Get some supplies obviously, all you will need is
Spray paint (doesn’t even have to be much, you can do this with 3-4 colors or 1000)
Glossy paper. Photo paper also works, you can figure it out
Anything round to make the planet with that can cover it up
Determination
Also a snack.
Step two
Cover yo thang
You’re just gonna spray enough so that you’ll be able to make out the shape, you don’t need much at all and it’s even better if you don’t use much.
Look at that nice circle
Step three
color, this part is so fun and you can do anything you want with it, i made mine the pansexual flag
I know it looks crazy but trust me, you’re gonna have to cover it up with a few colors.
Think about where you want the light to come from, the black is the shadow farthest from the light, the white is where the light is shining on it and the yellow in the middle is so that it’s not so bland. For the color in the middle put whatever was underneath right there (or not I’m not your mom)
STEP FOURRR
You’re gonna ball up some paper and lay it over it, will the paper to get some if the paint up and lift
I wasn’t to happy so I did it again, you can do this as much or as little as you want.
This looks better to me.
Step whatever
More shadows, this is optional but I prefer it. Black in the bottom and white on the top as before but this time not as much so the color comes through
STEP TO THE LEFT NOW YALL
Okay cover it up againnnn
Paint that while thing black. The entire thing, completely. This is always fun
The bright side (light)
Okay this is optional but I love it, I’m gonna add light… Just look
sooo start with blue in the corner where it’s coming from and a bit in the other side behind the planet, stay with me on this.
White to brighten it up…..
Now another fun part
Stars
You can do this anyway you want, I just put on a glove and spray some on two of my fingers and flick it on but there’s loads of ways, check it.
