Tools Tuesday Thursday: Forgiveness of the Self

So during my busy day on Tuesday, I definitely snoozed my calendar alert to make a Tools Tuesday post. And then I forgot about it.

And in the grand scheme of things, that's not a big deal. But I felt a stab of disappointment in myself when I realized it was Wednesday night and I hadn't done that task. And on the second week, too!

Missing deadlines is inevitable, whether self-imposed or professionally set. Disappointment and shame can make the problem worse by holding you back from reaching out for the next steps.

These delays can lose you opportunities, and the guilt and shame csn compound until you can't even look at the late thing let alone finish it.

In these cases, please do your best to forgive yourself. No situation is unsalvageable. (If you're talking loss of life or property, you are on a different scale than this discussion and this event merits)

Apologize to anyone who deserves an apology - including yourself. Figure out what your next step needs to be or what caused the original delay. Address the problem. Move forward.

Most of the time, the consequences won't be nearly as dire as your mind made them out to be. You can recover.

As an anecdote, and an example, I have a fic I wanted to give as a birthday gift...last year. It's still no where near done. But the person who I will give it to understands, and I remind myself that there are no bad consequences here.

The recipient will still get it. And then I type up a little more progress on it.

Every situation is different. But please don't let your own feelings of shame stop you from accomplishing your goals.

Today's #ToolingTuesday is LJS 97, a 16th-century blind-stamped and roll-tooled tanned leather over wooden boards, contemporary with the textblock. It was later rebacked with the old spine laid down. Made in Spain or Italy; the text is Greek.

I don't know if I'm really poly or if I just don't get. jealous. is that a thing?

Think that's sth you gotta answer for yourself mate, there's lot of overlap in the polyam-aro-ace-and-more circles.

#I think my guide for myself was like #do I wanna be in a relationship? If yes do I want it to be strictly monogamous? #And that was a no. Id prefer a hypothetical relationship to be open to .. being open I guess lol #So there I am. Remember that labels and words are just a helping tool and you don't need to use anything you don't vibe with! #Also polyam people DEFINITELY do get jealous too lol #Not an art #Talky Talky Tuesday

It’s turnip time!

An imaginary turnip with time, that is.

The intricate, fantastical visual aids in Johannes Buno’s Memoriale Institutionum Juris don’t make much sense to us but they sure are a lot of fun.

This copy comes to us from the library of German jurist Hermann Kantorowicz and is featured in our new exhibit, Tools of the Profession: Law Books and the History of Legal Education.

REVIEW TIME!!

Ugee M708 & Nathanna Erica

So... a few weeks back I got this awesome gift in the mail and I wanted to share my impressions with you (and also get a little painting done!)

It’s been a while since I used a pen tablet (I normally use a pen display or my iPad Pro) and this model from Ugee was a great way to get back in the saddle!

The video is in Portuguese (para os meus conterrâneos aqui do Brasil 🤗), but there are subtitles in English!

P.S.: anyone else get super freaked out when hearing our own voice in a recording? 😂

You can find the Ugee M708 and other Ugee goodies here: https://pt.aliexpress.com/store/1100089355

Happy Tablet Tuesday and thanks for watching! ❤️

5:44 AM, in yet another diner, and this is how trouble gets started. Final result, if any, may vary wildly, but it usually gets rolling with something simple like this. #TFTuesday

Tools Tuesday - Image Descriptions

Apologies for the late posting, this week really got away from me!

Tools Tuesday is a weekly part of the Finish What You Started event where I share various resources I have found to help everyone complete their WIP. Have a resource you want to share? Send it in a message and I'll take a look!

What is an image description? Just as the title suggests, it's a description of a piece of visual media. Think of it like you're on the phone with your friend and you just saw a hilarious sign or cool thing in a store that they should absolutely know about, so you describe it to them over the phone. It is communicating visuals through words.

This is a topic that is very near and dear to my heart. Accessible posts make everyone in your community able to connect and share the joy of your fandom.

Creating image descriptions or alt text for your visual media (images, videos, gifs) helps a wide range of people: those with low vision, those who use screen readers, those who have issues interpreting visual media, those who have trouble reading text in pictures, those with bad internet, and many more. There's a huge audience who just doesn't get to understand or interact properly with your beautiful art without the interface of description!

Creating descriptions can also help you, the creator. You can communicate mood or subtle details that are important, shaping how your piece is interpreted. You can introduce new people to your beloved media, gaining a larger audience of appreciators. And you can even learn something about your own work. After all, by describing something, you study it more closely.

Not sure how to make an image description? No problem! There are lots of guides out there that go into detail!

The most important part is trying. An imperfect description is better than no description.

TL;DR: A basic description should have the media type (photograph, illustration, etc), the subject's name and short physical description, and a summary of the action. If there are any words, they should be transcribed exactly, or converted to plaintext but keep the wording the same. Start the description with an indicator (Start ID, etc) and finish with one as well (End ID, etc).

Links to guides that explain the process better than I can!

General guide for image descriptions by can-i-make-image-descriptions - Basic, easy to follow.

How to Create Image Descriptions by antimonarchy - More detailed with great examples.

Image description resources by kurapikas-dangly-earring, with additions by others - Further resources and tips.

Can't do them yourself, for whatever reason? I want to make my posts more accessible, but can't write IDs myself: a guide by anistarrose

I (the event runner) write a lot of image descriptions, so I'm happy to answer questions or direct you to resources if you need them!

Every decision we make in life adds up whether it be a step in the direction of what we desire or a step away from that desire. Universal law dictates we will always get back what we put in. There are no shortcuts.

An offering is coming your way. It is time for you to choose what really makes you happy. As you are working towards creating the life you desire, be sure to create consciously. Just because someone offers you something, it doesn’t mean you have to take it. There may be a job offering or financial opportunity shown to you, just be sure it aligns with the hard work you have put in so far. Ask yourself if this feels right to you. Will it truly make you happy? Remember, you can’t escape from karma. If you feel happy and in alignment, that is the energy you will project to the universe and that is what you will get back.

Happy Conscious Creating 🤗

So we have to sit here and wait for Wednesday or Thursday to hear if we're getting help with our rent, being told not to stress or pack yet until we know the outcome. Well I think I'm gonna stress anyway but I think I'll curve the nausea inducing overstimulation by playing pokemon.

#ive been doing okay to not stress so much about money by drawing and spending time with my family #but now idl what to draw and theyve gone home now so dihsjsjs #mom is refusing to take my last 8$ too so i think ill use that to get a snack i like #or save it to have a relaxing day out on tuesday to get a few new buttons and dad a birthday gift #idk what im gonna get him since i usually get him a watch buuut he cant see it so :/ #or i get him power tools buuuut yeah #idk maybe ill get him a pound of his favorite candy or some fudge #i am rambling lmao #im still trying to fully wake up sjhsjs #talkies

Eeeeeeexactly. But this is tumblr. We don’t do stuff that makes sense ‘round here 🤨. And the second reason is “”justified”” porque “he would never date someone who stood by and watched him get bullied by their boyfriend”. Ugh. Shipwars 😒 just let me love my OTP in peace god damn it. And bless Grace for her adamancy on Hellcheer. I love it.

I am deathly afraid that Tumblr is going to drive Grace off social media. She's been so FUN on Tumblr, giving the shippers Hellcheer headcanons, engaging with the fanart (and I'm not just saying that because she reposted fanart of my fic, I thought it was sweet before that).

There is a certain subsect of shippers that enjoy white pretty male slash ships that are the most annoying people on the planet. I saw it with Steve and Tony from Marvel (why Hayley Atwell left Twitter). I saw it with Destiel in Supernatural (I shipped Dean and Jo back in the day and the Destiel shippers were fucking VICIOUS about it) And now I'm seeing it again, which is a pain in the ass because I actually enjoy all three of the above ships, but the shippers get so damn toxic and bullying about it, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth for it. So now I can't even enjoy Steve and Eddie as a concept because I get fucking enraged when I think about the amount of people who are harassing Grace about it. BAH.

I'm trying hard not to post anything that even unintentionally promotes the ship wars because I think they're dumb, but they have been getting on my last nerve lately and now all I want to do is write problematic Hellcheer fics that will make them mad and maybe overtake them on AO3.

talk shop tuesday: what's a story idea that you feel is out of your comfort zone + something that feels "out of your skill level"?

there's this noir au that i've started and the more i think about it, the more and more i feel like i'm out of my depth with it. i've written mysteries before but they've been pretty transparent and functioned more as a vehicle for the characters than an actual mystery plot. the angle that i want to go at for this requires a pretty complex mystery with actual suspects and intrigue and the more i try to figure it out and fit in the plot points and characters i want, the more i feel like i'm not quite skilled enough to juggle all the things i want to achieve in this piece. it's gone through a few plot restructures already but i haven't hit that point where i fix something and it clicks y'know? so i'm struggling with that one right now

#been thinking about this for awhile and tbh i've never really considered that it might be above my skill level? #like i've really only considered that i'm missing the spark but maybe i have the spark and im missing the tools #hmm #ask #seek--rest #talk shop tuesday
