Welcome to my land of worrying story ideas, half-rushed poems, broken IPhone photos, barely decent drawings and random thoughts from my messed up head. My name's Zippy, I shall be your guide.Agender | They/them
The KKK is planning on holding a parade somewhere in North Carolina on December 3d 2016.
Yep.
I’m posting this to warn people in North Carolina, Muslims and Jewish peeps (Muslims and Jews of colour especially), all people of colour and queer people (lesbian, trans, gay, non binary, agender, asexual, all of you) to please be safe wherever you are on that date.
If you do not feel safe, please stay at home or with friends. Do not attempt to engage them or incite them to violence for your and your friends and families safety, please. Do not give them a reason.
If you want to organise a counter protest, that is fine too but please, always be safe. Organise the protest on secure channels where it is safer and away from potential fascist infiltration.
Reblog if you support anyone who is gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, questioning, intersex, aromantic, pansexual, asexual, bigender, demisexual, transsexual, trigender, non binaly, polysexual, gender neutral.
The “confused” and the “sins” of society deserve to be noticed and treated right don’t be part of the problem. @bisexual friends
Onfim was a child who lived in Novgorod, Russia, in the 13th century. He left his notes and homework exercises scratched in soft birch bark (beresta) which was preserved in the clay soil of Novgorod. Onfim, who archaeologists believe was six or seven at the time, wrote in Old Novgorodian; besides letters and syllables, he drew battle scenes and drawings of himself, his family, and his teacher.

Here is a picture of him as a knight stabbing someone.
(At least, he wrote his name next to the knight. Either it was supposed to be him or he was signing his masterpiece. Either way, still adorable.)
Several pictures of the original birch pieces can be found here: [x]
I'm not dead, praise! I've been in Wales for the week with no wifi (that wasn't being used constantly). So, yeah, I'm back...ish. Still have classes and that so life still gets in the way. But while I'm here, HOW THE HECK DID I GET 25 FOLLOWERS?! THAT'S SO AWESOME! YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME. So yeah, thanks - I'm not dead. Also, I may just get the chapter of my fanfic finished. Life is good.
halloween is fast approaching, and sending screamers has become an increasingly popular trend over the past few years. while some people may enjoy them, they can also trigger anxiety attacks in others.
check the section/category of a video. if it’s under “comedy”, “prank”, “horror”, or something similar, close the tab immediately.
comments are also a giveaway. scroll to the comments section before playing a video. if comments are disabled, there’s a likely chance the video is a screamer. close the tab right away. if you see comments like “whoa, that made me jump!”, close the window! and if it’s impossible to disable comments, look for multiple comments deleted by the creator.
check out the video itself, while it’s paused. if it has very low music (this makes the audience want to turn the volume up, so the scream is louder and scarier), or if it has very small text (which makes you want to go into full screen), that’s a good indication that it’s a screamer. exit out and close the tab!
look at the content of the video. if the clip itself deals with the scary or supernatural, like a film about ghosts, you can’t be certain. be careful, and exit the tab if the content seems triggering. pause the video and forward all the way to the end. If everything is good feel free to watch. if a frame with a scary picture comes up, close the tab immediately.
if the video shows a room or picture, and invites you to “find what’s wrong in the picture”, or “find _____”, close the window immediately!
there’s a new trend going on where videos describing people reacting to screamers are actually screamers themselves. if you suspect this, scroll down and see the comments. if the maker of the video disabled comments to purposely lead viewers to believe the video is genuine, scroll down just enough to see the video time, so you don’t see the video itself. Turn the volume down, just in case it is a screamer, and if the video plays out and there’s no scream, it’s safe to watch.
check the time on the video. if it’s suspiciously short, exit the tab.
look at the related or recommended videos. if any of them fit the above, the video is a screamer.
oh god i’d heard about the “i won’t commission artists who undercharge for their art” post and now it’s making its rounds on my dash.
please understand that this concept does not actually help anyone. the sensible thing to do if an artist is undercharging is to tip them for what you think their work it worth, and be sure to let them know that. even if this doesn’t cause them to actually change their base prices, at least YOU’RE paying for what it’s worth, and THEY’RE getting business instead of nothing.
by essentially boycotting artists who are already unsure of the value of their own work (and are thus underpricing) you’re not sending any positive message. no one is going to up their commission prices when nobody is buying them. the only thing the artist gets out of it is that people don’t want to buy their art for some reason, and people who’s products aren’t selling aren’t going to say “oh i guess it was because i wasn’t charging enough, i’ll pump up the prices!”
if you want to support a commission artist, please do it by actually SUPPORTING THEM WITH COMMISSIONS rather than by choosing to take your business elsewhere because their prices were too low.
Hey! Could you reblog this if you are polyamorous or support polyamory?
I’d like to get to know how many people are educated or identify as polyamorous xx
