Spoonzlol - Hi Lol

i have been constantly in tears over this newly hatched duck i found on instagram last night

I made the first two doodles during DFPU's magma. xd

Schizotypal culture is taking the "social" out of social media. I'm just lurking. Just sitting around observing. I'm witnessing. If I'm feeling particularly social, I may reblog a mutual's post and add a tag or two!

normalise speaking with whispers

normalise speaking with whiteboards

normalise speaking with text

normalise speaking with text-to-speech

normalise speaking with nod/shake/shrug

normalise speaking with ultra-nod

normalise speaking with notes

normalise speaking through others

normalise speaking with facial expressions

normalise speaking with art

normalise speaking with gestures

normalise speaking with body language

normalise speaking with scripts

normalise speaking with pre-written messages

normalise speaking with squeaks

normalise speaking with mmhhhmmms

normalise speaking through eye contact

normalise not speaking or communicating

normalise being a frozen block of anxiety

because all of that is me

and i’d like to be normal, please. 🌹🌹

so just to explain it, searx is not a search engine itself— it's a frontend for a group of search engines, so it's still searching with wikipedia, google, duckduckgo, bing, ecosia, etc. it's really easy to choose the group of engines or sites you want to use in the settings, plus you're avoiding a lot of data tracking, ads, and there is no AI on top.

there's no company behind it, it's self-hosted so you're either running your own instance or using someone else's. i do recommend eventually running your own, because the more users on one instance means higher traffic which may cause it to eventually get blocked by google and stuff.

searx.space has list of running publicly available instances, some of them are already fine-tuned for academic purposes and there are currently 76 at the time i'm posting this!

wikipedia no longer being anywhere near the top of search results when looking up anything feels eviscerating
