“I’m not doing anything, I’m not doing anything, my body’s made of crushed little stars and I’m not doing anything.” (Redraw of one of the first digital drawings I ever attempted... the file was unfortunately purged during the Great Computer Crash of ‘09, but I’ve always wanted to give it another shot) #art #digitalart #digitalpainting #illustration #illustrator #artistsoninstagram #artist #photoshop #wacom #mitski #lyrics #mybodysmadeofcrushedlittlestars https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv2CVsoAjX2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gwujm78tp7ux

“You appear even-tempered though your looks will deceive And the sparks are always flying ‘cause you drink for relief With the heart of a child and the wit of a fool It’s a wonder why I don’t try to build a wall around you.” . Creating can be hard when inspiration is thin, so I try to make time for personal art whenever that rare lightning bolt strikes. Shoot me a message or email me. I’m ready for new projects! . . . . #art #sketch #painting #illustration #draw #drawing #paint #watercolor #graphite #coloredpencil #pencil #lyrics #halfmoonrun #fullcircle https://www.instagram.com/p/Brn4T9OH1MW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3wl97zik75oo

How to Backup your Tumblr

I was just semi-complaining that I was still looking for a decent way to backup my +6k posts without having to use paid services or even just wordpress (which has an import from tumblr tool that asks for permission to access your blog and also make posts), when I decided to actually put some effort into my google search. 

Results were positive: I have successfully backed up my blog* 

*By which I mean: everything that I have ever posted.  Not included: drafts, queue, likes, followers, following, comments, notes, chat. 

I followed this method (word by word), and now have a 450 MB folder on my computer with the name of my blog on it containing: 

1. Folder “Archive” (contains .html files listed by month) 2. Folder “Media” (contains gifs and images, mine has +1k files in it; might contain also audios but I have no way of confirming that because I’ve never reblogged an audio post from this blog) 3. Folder “Posts” (contains single .html files, each one a post; I have +4k files in it) 4. Folder “Theme” (contains only my avatar, but it might be a matter of if you have personalized themes or not) 5. .html file “Index” (by opening it it will give you the archive of your blog organized by month; clicking on a month will open up the archive for that month, and you’ll be able to read all the posts for that month as if you were on your blog**, except sans your theme graphic, with each page containing 50 posts)

**I can see gifs, links, embedded videos, tags, number of notes (but I can’t open up the notes, clearly), text is also correctly formatted. 

So yeah, in case anyone wants a very quick way to back up their blog, it took me less than 10 minutes. 

P.S. I didn’t have any issue, but to be on the safe side always check for spyware and virus threats before and after downloading anything.

It’s that time of year to say no to the Salvation Army.

Never forget they let a Trans woman die instead of helping her.

Never forget they have tossed entire families on the street for having an LGBT child.

Never forget they tell non Christian families that unless they convert they will not help them.

Never forget that the Salvation Army is bigoted and hateful, many of the bell ringers routinely heckle and harass LGBT couples.

Roses are red, that much is true, but violets are purple, not fucking blue.

“When me and John have a fight as father and daughter in sign language early in the film he was the most dominant character, and I was supposed to cower to his needs. But as we started filming it I said I would begin to rebel. He loved that idea.” Millicent Simmonds had a true impact on the film with her alterations. “At the end when he signs, ‘I love you.’ I said I think he needs to say, ‘I’ve always loved you.’ Because that covers the difficult period. Then when I suggested that he cried.” This proves the importance need for diversity and representation in cinema.

“But now no one can sing the third verse of that hymn you played on that old organ in the parlor / But if you let me I’d fill your ears with all the love you gave and then you’d ask me how I knew her / Oh, I like to think that I did because each day she seems a little closer in the mirror” (Baby’s first real #speedpaint 😬finally getting my feet under me after moving to a new place. Grateful for a spare moment to practice lighting and color techniques. For those of you who are curious, I’m still planning on finishing my #MajorArcana series! Keep an eye out for the final cards!) #art #digtalart #painting #digitalpainting #portrait #photoshop #lyrics #howiknewher #natalydawn https://www.instagram.com/p/BqEe3oWAo-a/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ovqawn1uhvqw
