should i just delete my blog

i was supposed to post requests tonight but that can wait another day.

for now i just want to say something.

a lot of people can vouch for me when i say i’m always patient and polite, no matter what the situation. but sometimes i guess that’s just not enough.

let me make it clear to everyone. i don’t care if you copy a post of mine once or twice. copy my event stuff (how i announce reqs and news)? that's fine. crop your posts the specific way i do? i'll let it go. that’s all okay. but seriously, if you copy most of the posts i make, how i do it, and try to browse my blog for artists and fanart so you can post THE EXACT SAME THING I ALREADY DID, i just find it so disrespectful. it’s piggybacking on my hard work. what for? easy notes?

there have been other users who felt inspired to post fanart because of my posts, but they went and looked for the artists and art on their own. they didn’t use my blog to post exactly the ones i have and to not have to break a sweat finding them. i literally had to go over 100+ pages of pixiv, and comb through a lot of related stuff on twitter to get some of the artists i post from. i know which artists are at the end of those pages because they’re inactive. i already noticed she was looking through my posts because she’d like something of mine then get permission from that same artist and post whatever i’ve already posted. she liked certain art posts on my page and suddenly, she’s posting the exact thing. all the stuff she liked on my page. even for artists that i know are inactive and are in no way in the recent tags and would be in the 70+ pages on pixiv. even for artists i found through artist friends. even for my first art posts for a title that’s really old. like everything. my blog = easy access to find content to copy.

it’s not just the fanart. even my twitter and game compilations i spent time on, were lifted. artists she couldn’t get permission from that she saw on my tumblr were reposted on facebook with just a pixiv link. of course she also completely copied how i did it. if you see it you’d just wonder if it’s my post. no wonder someone also told me about it.

like exact copies of my captions for fanart. the exact fanart posts i have that they mass-liked days before. minor edits here and there. even for the official art ones and the way i do my links. if you’re gonna save the image from my blog and copy the source link and caption i made. WHY NOT JUST REBLOG?? they didn’t even hide the fact that they copied it exactly. every source link i have these days i just put in bitly and post in small text + i make sure to put a space in the link so it’s a non-working link.

i don’t get it. why do they have to repost EXACTLY what i already have on here that you’ve seen. why not reblog? they completely copy my captions and posts anyway. is it just so THEY’D get the notes? it’s easy to just copy the way i put info on my blog. so easy to just copy and maybe it’d give an audience quickly? i’ve been nice enough to keep trying to explain things. i even made them their own caption for fanart. taught them how to link. how to treat artists.

honestly. do not do this to me. i work really hard putting together everything on my blog. i don’t ask anything from people except basic courtesy. i don’t care about the money i spend on content because that’s for my own consumption, but the time i spend on this blog that’s helped people is something i won’t ever get back.

background:

i got an ask around mid july telling me about someone [user A] who completely reposted one of my fanart posts. seeing as how i don’t browse and i would’ve normally missed it, i was really thankful to @razzmatash who alerted me to the post copy. i answered the ask privately because i want to give chances to people. anyway, it was a 100% a copy of my post, so you’d have to wonder why she didn’t just reblog it. i sent a message to [User A] and instructed them on how to post fanart properly and not to copy posts. another friend of mine saw a complete copy of my tcb post. same caption and the way i do my source links. i let all those go.

stuff done:

copies my posts and how i do them

copies my captions and links for the twitter stuff i compile

reposts my tumblr posts on facebook (with watermarks as proof it’s mine)

browses fanart on my tumblr to repost on facebook (which i recently caught and got taken down)

browses artists and fanart on my tumblr then posting the same thing on tumblr instead of finding it all on her own

minimal understanding of how to treat other people’s works. been caught reposting and using another artist’s work as her header when the artist expicitly says on her bio that she doesn’t allow her work to be used as headers and icons

posts primarily to get notes since minimal care is shown for the artists’ welfare.

why is there a need to repost @chuye-a‘s work on tumblr when chuyea has her own tumblr and it would do them more favors if you just reblogged their work that’s already on here to promote their page.

i’m getting sick of stuff like this. i may not be a writer, or an artist-- BUT I DO SPEND A LOT OF TIME PUTTING TOGETHER EVERYTHING ON HERE. if people won’t respect it, i might as well just delete everything.

And The Saga Continues

By saga I mean me supervising this 'fake RbbSbb' account on twitter because I want to.

also Im going to separate the posts by day, if anything else happens I'll retweet and add it on this one. Tommorow its a separate post.

If you're intrested to see the first bit (two separate days in a post, one in which I found and then kept retweeting what happened after weeks (?) of not checking on it) (! I do reccomend reading the previous one)

so if you're intrested look up the tag #Fake-RbbSbb in my account.

Sooooo as expected our buddy changed his bio to 11, which supports my speculation that it was (obviously) a countdown to Louis' show.

nothing new on the following/pfp/header etc...

They did tweet some things, but I'll touch on that later, first off the likes: It seems they are continuously trying to raise attention towards Rbb (and Rbb only???) being back in two weeks by sending anonymous statements in peoples CCs.

Also they liked this HIV support tweet- and I found that sweet so im also adding it in, because aweareness is key.

aswell as replying back with their usual variation of two emojis:

No sign of Android anywhere, just WebApp™.

Now onto the tweets:

Just like with the 12 they posted yesterday, today they posted an 11. And I got curious to know where abouts they were setting the time to:

If whatever I triod to do here is too complicated (even I dont understand it lmao) basically:

In LA posting time would've been 23:29

In London posting time would've been: 07:29

so if they wanted to (and im speculating this because I did not check) update it on midnight lets say (or close to), then logically the tweet would've come from LA.

Now this thing which then tells us there will be a pattern of when they'll update the countdown

The thing I found weird right, is that they're doing a countdown (supposedly) to Louis' show. So why update on LA time?

Next thing they posted was this:

'Well Meet at the end of the Road' at a first glance you'd guess they're talking about the countdown.

But oh to know who Rudolph Valentino was...

I'll put some intresting quotes I found of him here, you can skip all of this if you want, I'll do a short resume at the end of the indented.

"He was a sex symbol of the 1920s, who was known in Hollywood as the Latin Lover (a title invented for him by Hollywood moguls), The Great Lover, or simply Valentino.[1] His premature death at the age of 31 caused mass hysteria among his fans and further propelled his status as a cultural film icon."

"The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse was released in 1921 and became a commercial and critical success" + "For his follow-up film, they forced him into a bit part in a B-film called Uncharted Seas.(1921)" + "Rambova, Mathis, Ivano, and Valentino began work on the Alla Nazimova film Camille.(1921)" + "Valentino's final film for Metro was the Mathis-penned 'The Conquering Power.(1921) "

thats 4 movies in a year!! Talk about overworked- (depending on how long they were)

"After quitting Metro, Valentino took up with Famous Players-Lasky, forerunner of the present-day Paramount Pictures, a studio known for films that were more commercially focused."

"Jesse L. Lasky intended to capitalize on the star power of Valentino, and cast him in a role that solidified his reputation as the "Latin lover"

"In The Sheik (1921), Valentino played the starring role of Sheik Ahmed Ben Hassan. The film was a major success and defined not only his career but his image and legacy."

"Famous Players produced four more feature-length films over the next 15 months" + "His leading role in Moran of the Lady Letty(1922) was of a typical Douglas Fairbanks nature" + "Valentino starred alongside Gloria Swanson in Beyond the Rocks(1922)" + "Valentino began work on another Mathis-penned film, Blood and Sand(1922)" + "During his forced break from Rambova, the pair began working separately on the Mathis-penned The Young Rajah(1922)"

15 months 4 movies. and again I will stress the 'capitalize the star power' over there.

Seems too familiar tbh.

"Missing Rambova, Valentino returned to New York after the release of The Young Rajah. They were spotted and followed by reporters constantly."

*cough* *cough* "spotted"

"During this time, Valentino began to contemplate not returning to Famous Players, although Jesse Lasky already had his next picture, The Spanish Cavalier, in preparation. After speaking with Rambova and his lawyer Arthur Butler Graham, Valentino declared a 'one-man strike' against Famous Players.[31]"

About the lawsuit:

"He was also upset over the broken promise of filming Blood and Sand in Spain, and the failure to shoot the next proposed film in either Spain or at least New York. Valentino had hoped while filming in Europe he could see his family, whom he had not seen in 10 years.[27]"

"In September 1922, he refused to accept paychecks from Famous Players until the dispute was solved, although he owed them money" + "Famous Players, in turn, filed suit against him.[33]"

"Valentino did not back down,[33] and Famous Players realized how much they stood to lose." + "the studio tried to settle by upping his salary" + "Variety erroneously announced the salary increase as a "new contract" before news of the lawsuit was released, and Valentino angrily rejected the offer.[31]"

"Valentino went on to claim that artistic control was more of an issue than the money." + "Famous Players made their own public statements deeming him more trouble than he was worth (the divorce, bigamy trials, debts) and that he was temperamental, almost diva-like. They claimed to have done all they could and that they had made him a real star.[33]

"Other studios began courting him." + "However, Famous Players exercised its option to extend his contract, preventing him from accepting any employment other than with the studio." + "Valentino filed an appeal, a portion of which was granted. Although he was still not allowed to work as an actor, he could accept other types of employment.[33]"

Return To The Movies

"Valentino returned to the United States in reply to an offer from Ritz-Carlton Pictures (working through Famous Players)" + "Rambova negotiated a two-picture deal with Famous Players and four pictures for Ritz-Carlton.[37] He accepted, turning down an offer to film an Italian production of Quo Vadis in Italy"

PERSONAL LIFE!!!!

"Valentino once told gossip columnist Louella Parsons that: "The women I love don't love me. The others don't matter". He claims that despite his success as a sex symbol that in his personal love life he never achieved happiness.[62]"

"Valentino impulsively married actress Jean Acker, who was involved with actresses Grace Darmond and Alla Nazimova. Acker became involved with Valentino in part to remove herself from the lesbian love triangle, quickly regretted the marriage, and locked Valentino out of their room on their wedding night."

"From the time he died in 1926 until the 1960s, Valentino's sexuality was not generally questioned in print.[67][68] At least four books, including the notoriously libelous Hollywood Babylon, suggested that he may have been gay despite his marriage to Rambova.[69][70][71][72][73] For some, the marriages to Acker and Rambova, as well as the relationship with Pola Negri, add to the suspicion that Valentino was gay and that these were "lavender marriages."

"Such books gave rise to claims that Valentino had a relationship with Ramón Novarro, despite Novarro stating they barely knew each other." + "These books also gave rise to claims that he may have had relationships with both roommates Paul Ivano and Douglas Gerrad, as well as Norman Kerry, and openly gay French theatre director and poet Jacques Hébertot." + "However, Ivano maintained that it was untrue and both he and Valentino were heterosexual.[24] Biographers Emily Leider and Allan Ellenberger generally agree that he was most likely straight"

like every historian would say: "they were just good friends"

"further supposed evidence that Valentino was gay; documents in the estate of the late author Samuel Steward indicated that Valentino and Steward were sexual partners.[77] However, evidence found in Steward's claim was subsequently found to be false, as Valentino was in New York on the date Steward claimed a sexual encounter occurred in Ohio."

- Via Wikipedia

These are the few quotes from his wekipedia page in which I literally gaped at...

So in short:

Sex Symbol who was an Actor

Got his image enhanced and exploited by his manager.

Constanly Overworked

Relationships used for PR (?)

Thought about leaving his management which led to a 'one man strike' and a lawsuit.

The lawsuit started off because of finantial reasons, but it was revealed it was more because of fucking creative freedom.

Management tried to reason with him, he didn't back down. And they continued to do so before an article of the 'lawsuit' was made public, he didn't accept any.

Management tried to paint Valentino as 'ungrateful' and that they were the reason he was a star.

When other people tried to get Valentino to work with/for them, his management stopped him by "threatening to extend the contract" (?) which prevented him from acting.

His sexuality was never really questioned due to the many relationships with woman he had (one which literally was a lesbian)

Lavender Marriages / PR marriages

After his death, speculation that he dated many men came up.

One even said they did the dEEd, but its impossible because they were both in separate countries duh, right? RIGhT????

The way we can literally compare this with Harry's situation (and maybe Louis' aswell!!!) is literally hurting my mind.

Also adding that @eyupdaisy is helping me a lot, kuddos to her aswell. She found this:

If you search the actual name of the post 'We will meet at the end of the trail' on google, this picture comes up

Which the HT account made a very lovely and subtle connection to it a few days ago

Guess well have to start lowkey monitoring them too? Or maybe just what they interact with the Mr.R acc...

A Step-By-Step Process for Turning Designs Into Code

css-tricks.com

Turning website design files into a combination of HTML, CSS and JavaScript is the bread and butter of many front-end web development jobs, but there’s a part of this work that doesn’t neatly fit in to tutorials on any specific topic. There’s a process of breaking down a design and figuring out how to approach the build that seems to fall under on-the-job training for new front-end developers. It’s not something taught alongside core technologies (no matter where we are learning those technologies—college, bootcamp, or on our own).

In this post, we’ll take a look at how to go from design to code, and why you might want to follow a process like this instead of just diving into code head-first—which, let’s face it, we love to do! The contents of this post are based on my experiences onboarding new developers, the kinds of conversations we’ve had, and the help and feedback I’ve provided in those situations.

One reason the process of moving from design to code is a core professional skill for a front-end developer is that without having some way to dig in and predict how you will approach something, it’s very difficult to provide an estimate for how long it takes to make or what questions you might need answered before you start. Many designs might appear simple at first glance, but quickly become complex once you get into the weeds. I’ve seen this lead to overpromises, which often leads to tighter deadlines, stress and even worse side effects. Suddenly everything takes much longer than we initially thought. Yuck. Let’s see if we can avoid that.

Evaluating a design

As a way to talk about this, let’s use an example design for a “marketing-style” web page and assume we have been asked to implement it. We can also assume this site is created in a context where marketing professionals may come in and edit the content via some content management system (CMS), re-order the sections, replace images, and make style changes. So we need to decide on the components of the page that will be the building blocks used in the CMS.

This gets at another reason that this can be missed in education: often in our own solo projects, we can have static content right there in the HTML, and component parts aren’t going to be Frankenstein-ed together by strangers to form whole new pages and sections. But once you step into more real-world dev situations, things are a lot more dynamic, and we are often working at the layer of “make things that a non-developer can use to make a web page.”

Let’s use this website for a clinical trial is example. As we can see there are a lot of familiar design elements. Marketing sites tend to share common patterns:

a big hero section

product images

small separate sections of short-form content emphasizing one thing or another

information about the company

etc.

On mobile, we can take it as a given that in each section, the left columns will stack on top of the right, and some other fairly typical reflow will happen. Nothing structural will change on mobile. So what we are looking at is the core of the design.

In this example, there is a header, then a lot of distinct sections, and a footer. At a glance, some of the sections look kind of similar—several have a two-column layout, for example. There are button and heading styles that seem to be consistent throughout. As soon as you take a look at something like this, your eye will start to notice repeated patterns like that.

This is where we start making notes. Before we do any coding, let’s understand the ideas contained in the design. These ideas can fall into a few buckets, and we want our final product—the web page itself—to correctly represent all these ideas. Here are the buckets I commonly use:

Layout-level patterns—repeating layout ideas and the overall grid

Element-level patterns—headings, text sizes, fonts, spacing, icons, button sizes

Color palette

Structural ideas—the logical organization of sections, independent from the layout

Everything else—ideas that are only present in one component

Documenting the patterns this way comes in handy for figuring out our CSS approach, but also for choosing what HTML elements to use and starting conversations with the designer or other stakeholders if something is unclear. If you have access to the source files for the design, sections and layers might be labelled in there that give you a good idea what the designer was thinking. This can be helpful when you want to talk about specific sections.

So let’s look at the ideas contained in our example design. We’re going to do several passes through the design, and in all of them, we’re going outside-in, top-to-bottom, and left-to-right to ensure we evaluate every element. In each of the five passes, we’re looking for stuff that goes into just one of the buckets.

We’re unconcerned with getting this list perfect; it can always be changed later—we just want to record our first impressions.

Pass 1: Layout-level ideas

In this design we have a few layout ideas that stand out right off the bat.

A header with a horizontal nav section

A main content column within the content area—left and right edges align within all sections from header to footer

Sections with two columns

Sections with a single centered column

Sections with a single left-aligned column

A footer with three columns

Fairly generous padding inside each section

First impressions

We should note any other first impressions we have during this first pass, good or bad. We can never have a first impression twice, and some of our gut reactions and questions can be forgotten if we neglect noting them now. Plus, identifying specific stuff that you like in the design can be nice when we get to talking with the designer. It both helps to celebrate the good stuff and mix it in with other constructive criticism.

Our first impressions might be things like:

👍 The design is clean-looking and readable.

👍 The sections are all titled by questions (good, helps draw reader in and gives each section a clear purpose).

🤨 Question marks are used inconsistently in the titles (possibly just an oversight?).

🙋‍♀️ Sometimes there are very similar font sizes right next to each other (may need to follow up to see if this is intentional because it seems a less slick and professional than the rest of the site).

👍 The logo is nice with that little gradient going on.

Pass 2: Element-level ideas

Here are things we might notice in this second pass:

Primary (blue) and Secondary (white) button styles, plus a “Learn more” button in the header with a little arrow (an expanding menu maybe?)

Heading and sub-heading styles

Three “body text” sizes (16px, 18px, 20px)

A “dark-mode” section where text color is white and the background is dark

A consistent presentation of “image & caption” sets

Custom bullet points of various kinds

Inline links in the text are underlined and, other links, like those in the footer, are not.

A repeated card component with an icon on top, and a heading and a list inside the card

The logo repeats a few times in different contexts/sizes.

The footer contains uppercase headings that don’t appear elsewhere.

Pass 3: Color palette

There is not too much going on in this design color-wise.

blue/purple primary color

light/dark body text colors

light/dark link colors

nice gradient under the word “hope” in the logo

light gray background color

dark navy background color

specific red and green “checkmark” and “stop” icon colors

Some design tools let you export the color hex values used in the design file, or even full-on Sass or CSS variable declarations. If you have that option, use it. Otherwise, find your own way to grab those values and name them because those are the foundation for lots of our initial CSS work.

Throughout our CSS and other code, we want to be refer to colors with labels or classes like “primary” and “secondary” that we can reuse throughout the code. This makes it easier to adjust values in the future, and to add themes down the line if we ever need to.

Pass 4: Structural ideas

This is where we might actually name the regions of the page in ways that make sense to us, and identify the hierarchy of the content. We can start to understand the accessibility needs of our implementation by documenting in plain language what we see as the nature and structure of the content in the page. As always, going outside-in, top-to bottom, left-to-right as we make our evaluations.

Focusing on structure helps us figure out the underlying patterns that eventually become our components, and also helps us understand the way we want people who use assistive technology to perceive the content. In turn, that guides us as far as what HTML elements we need to use to write semantic HTML. Semantic HTML speaks to the nature and structure of the content so that it can be perceived correctly by browsers. Browsers use our HTML to create the accessibility tree that assistive tech, like screen readers, uses to present the page. They need a strong outline for that to succeed and semantic HTML provides that solid structure.

This means we need to understand the nature of what’s on the page well enough that we could explain it verbally with no visual support if we had to. From that understanding, we can work backwards to figure out the correct HTML that expresses this understanding via the accessibility tree, which can be inspected in you browser’s developer tools.

Here’s a quick example of the accessibility tree in Chrome if everything on the page is a div, and if elements are correctly chosen to match the nature of the content. Determining the best element choice in a given situation is outside the scope of this post, but suffice it to say that the expressive, non-”generic generic generic” accessibility tree below is entirely created with HTML elements and attributes, and makes the content and its organization much easier for somebody to perceive using assistive technology.

So, in this fourth pass, here are notes we might make:

Top-level structure:

Header

Main Content

Footer

Not so bad for the first top-to-bottom pass. Let’s go a level deeper. We’re still unconcerned with the child inside elements of the sections themselves yet—we want just enough info to label the top level items inside each sections.

Within Header there is:

Within Main Content there is:

Within Footer there is:

Home link

Navigation section

Hero section

Short explainer about the disease itself

Explainer about the treatment

Intro to the trial

Explainer with more details about the trial

Statement about who can join the study

Call-to-action to participate

Short explainer about the company

Logo

Summary Sentence

Some lists of links with titles

Divider

This pass reveals a few things. First, the Header and Footer sections are pretty shallow and are already revealing raw elements like links and text. Second, the Main section has eight distinct subsections, each with its own topic.

We’re going to do one more pass here and get at some of the deeper details in those sections.

Header home link—Woohoo, it’s just a link and we’re done.

Header nav—This is an expanding hover nav that needs JavaScript to work correctly. There are probably lots of accessible examples to follow, but still will take more time to develop and test than if we were working with raw links.

Treatment Explainer

Yowza, that got long fast! But now we understand pretty well the kinds of things we need to build, and what parts might be tricky. We also see that there may be some helper components to be built that aren’t quite represented by any one of these sections, for example, a two-column layout component that stacks to one column on mobile and has a title on top, or a generic “section container” component that takes a background and foreground color and provides the right styles plus standardized internal padding.

Incidentally, with this breakdown we’ve done a pretty good job expressing the final accessibility tree we want our HTML to create, so we are well on our way to having the implementation be a smooth experience without a lot of re-work to get accessibility right.

Pass 5: Everything else

What are some other ideas contained in this design, things that stick out, or challenges we notice? Maybe not much, but this is kind of the other side of the “first impressions” notes. Now our heads are filled with context for what it is in the design.

If something stands out now, especially if it’s a question about how something works, capture it. An example is, “Hmm, what is the ‘Learn More’ link in the nav supposed to do?” The answer might be: “It’s a list of links to each section that open when you hover there.” Every now and then, a designer expects that this kind of thing is already implied in the design, even if it is not explicitly documented, and it only comes up at the design review stage after that thing is developed—which is often too late to correct without affecting dates and deadlines.

We should also now look deeply and identify any hidden “glue work”— things like getting our styles in order, handling mobile, configuring the CMS, adding and testing authoring options and arrangements for our building blocks, and adding automated tests. Stuff like that.

At this point, we are ready to nail down exactly what components can be created in the CMS. Maybe we already have some of the basic setup done in the current system from past work. Whatever the case, we have enough to draw on to offer a decent estimate of the work needed, grouped into categories. For example, we might categorize components that:

are already 100% ready (no dev time needed),

exist but need tweaks for this new purpose (predictable dev time needed),

are totally new, but the path is obvious and safe (predictable dev time needed),

are totally new and need some research to implement. Or the design is unclear, or something about it gives you the heebie-jeebies and you need to have discussions with stakeholders. The earlier you can spot this, the better. Talk it over with whoever is running the project.

Now we have enough information to make a reasonable estimate. And more to the point, we’ve reduced the total time the project will take, and limited the trouble we might have along the way, because we’ve gained several advantages from planning it out.

The advantages of having a process

The exact steps we take and what order they are completed in is not the main point. What matters most is understanding the kind of information you need to gather when starting on a project. You might have your own ideas about how the work is done and in what order, whatever works for you is great.

Here are the advantages I’ve realized when assessing a design with a process in mind, compared to just kinda diving in, “getting stuff working,” and handling things as they come up.

As much as we’d like every project to arrive fully formed and perfectly ready to start, in reality, designs often contain assumptions that might be impractical to implement, or contradict something else we care about, like accessibility. In that case, you can assess the whole thing up front and get the conversations started with people who can resolve those issues early in the process. This can happen while you dive into the pieces that are ready to code, and will stop you from bumping into these roadblocks later when you are about to build that part of it. Flagging concerns early is definitely appreciated by the people who need to solve them.

You can be helped by others

Without a plan, it can be difficult to understand how far along you are in completing the project, as well as knowing if you need help meeting a deadline. Even if you do need help and are able to ask for it, it’s tough to use extra helping hands effectively without the work being broken out in to separate little chunks that be easily divided. When you have a plan that makes sense, you can quickly delegate certain tickets, knowing that the jigsaw pieces will fit together in the end.

It’s easy (and common) for a new developer to think think that huge workloads and working around the clock is a good thing. But as you mature in the role, you’ll see that having a deep understanding of the whole picture of a project, or even a single ticket, is more valuable, while creating a better impression that you are “on top of things.” Recognizing early that a timeline doesn’t look right gives you options about how to address it in ways other than trying to be a hero and throwing some weekends at it.

Component architecture flows better

Architectural decisions are the worst for me. Naming components, figuring out where stuff should live, which components need to talk to each other, where to break stuff up into smaller components. A lot of those choices only make sense when we look at the bigger picture and think about all various ways that certain elements might be used by visitors and content creators. And a lot of these choices are marginal—choosing the “best” option between two acceptable solutions can be a huge time suck or completely subjective.

Have a process helps with that because you are going to get all, or most, of the information you need about the designs before digging deeply into the development work. For me, figuring out what pieces I need to make, and figuring out the best possible code to make those pieces, are two different things. Sometimes what I need is not the thing that comes most naturally from the code. And sometimes, after learning a bit about what is needed, I can avoid time spent bikeshedding marginal decisions because it’s more clear which decisions truly don’t matter.

You still learn new things as you write the code, of course, but you’re now better prepared to handle those things when they pop up. You even have a good idea about the kinds of that might present themselves.

Styles make more sense

As you plan the work, you can truly figure out which styles are global, which are section-specific, which are or component-specific, and which are one-off exceptions. If you don’t already have a system you like for this, Andy Bell’s Cube CSS pairs very well with the kind of breakdown I’m talking about. Here’s a video of Andy working through an example with Chris Coyier that you can check out for more about this approach.

Accessibility starts early in the process

This one is huge for me. By really understanding the ideas contained in the design, you will have an easier time picking semantic HTML elements and finding appropriate accessible patterns to build out what you see there. Accessibility can work its way into the daily work you do, rather than an afterthought or extra burden. Our perspective becomes that high-quality front-end code correctly expresses the nature and structure of its content to all users, and accessibility is how we measure that.

After a pretty short period, you’ll see how often designs conform to one known pattern or another, and the flow of breaking something down into known patterns to implement will speed up dramatically. Carie Fisher nicely sums up ideas related to this “Accessibility-first” approach.

Wrapping up

Like I said at the start, a lot of this falls under on-the-job training, the “oral tradition” of web development. It’s the kind of stuff you might hear from a senior developer on your team as you’re getting started in your first front-end role. I’m sure lots of people would have different priorities than I do and recommend a slightly different process. I also know for sure that a lot of folks out there work in situations without a solid process in place, and no one senior to consult.

If you are in that situation, or not yet in your first role, I hope this gives you a baseline you can relate to when you think about how to do the job. Ideally the job is not just diving in and putting stuff in divs until things look “right” but that is often our mode of operation. We are eager to make progress and see results.

I’m very grateful that I did have somebody working with me at my first development job who showed me how to split up pieces of a design and estimate work for large, long-term projects. That’s what inspired me to start thinking about this and—as I began supervising other developers and teams—thinking about how I wanted to adapt the process and make it my own. I also realized it wasn’t something I’d noticed people talking much about when teaching technical skills about using a particular language. So thanks, Nate!

Thanks also to Drew Clements and Nerando Johnson for providing early feedback on this post. You are the best.

Signs of celebration

Feyenoord 1-1 Rangers

Scott Mullen

BBC Scotland in Rotterdam

One word. Bedlam.

It took a second of disbelief first, but the Rangers fans housed in the rafters of De Kuip exploded in unbridled hysteria upon the sight of Alfredo Morelos’ header hitting the back of the net. In contrast, the rest of this iconic stadium is now fluctuating between silence and rumblings of discontent.

As things stand, Rangers are through. A long way to go yet.

Surprise changes as Edouard drops out

Celtic v Rennes (20:00)

Forward Mikey Johnston returns to the Celtic squad for the first time since the 1 September win over Rangers after suffering hip and groin problems and is on the bench, but versatile wide man Jonny Hayes misses out with a shoulder injury, while in-form 18-year-old right-back Jeremie Frimpong was not registered for the Europa League. Neil Lennon will also do without top scorer Odsonne Edouard, who hasn’t made it in to the 18-man matchday squad.

Instead, Lennon has opted to bring in Greg Taylor at left-back, Moritz Bauer at right-back, Olivier Ntcham in midfield for Tom Rogic, while Lewis Morgan has been drafted into attack to replace Edouard.

HALF-TIME Feyenoord 1-0 Rangers

Scott Mullen

BBC Scotland in Rotterdam

What a suckerpunch for Rangers. As the De Kuip pitch soaked up the rain, Steven Gerrard’s defence appeared to be absorbing every wave of Feyenoord attack that crashed against its blue barrier. It was fairly consistent and hairy at times, but to be undone by a deflected goal will be a deflating factor in the Rangers dressing-room at the break.

However, there is still hope. Kent has been by far Rangers’ brightest player and a jittery Feyenoord defence just don’t know what to do with him. Give more of the ball to him and quicker – and test a third-choice goalkeeper who has had nothing to do and this game is recoverable. But Gerrard’s men have to be sharper.

Problems and Solutions

Redesigning and coding Book Depository was rather enjoyable albeit the CSS often breaking the page layout (and sometimes individual elements).

The first major issue I encountered was the Advanced Search button located in the header. It’s not actually a button but a hyperlink - it’s merely designed to look like one by having a border around it. Trying to centre the text using padding ended up breaking the border in half. Removing said padding and amending the line-height fixed the issue.

Some icons would not centre themselves properly and needed both top and bottom padding as well as text-align set to centre. The social media icons in the footer would refuse to change colour on hover, as they do in the actual website - I soon realised it was a ridiculous error on my part as I was trying the change the contents of the icon rather than the anchor.

The last major problem I had to deal with on the homepage was the Bootstrap carousel - I could not get it to work, and that’s basically because I had missing jQuery files, which were then wrongly place in the <head>. A quick cut/paste to place the script at the bottom of the code fixed the whole debacle.

While coding the rest of the pages I ran into a few issues when reusing classes. I would have set the width in pixels, for example, and thus, when used again would not fit properly in the new setting. Most often, setting the attribute to 100% or simply creating an override class - aptly named ov-class - would fix the issue.

Another problem I encountered was with the publisher images in the Highlights page: I used the same code as the bookmarks <div> in the homepage, merely removing the text and replacing the images. The end result was excessive padding everywhere around the images. I attempted to fix it using an override class and I still had extra padding. The best solution was to remove the <span> that encapsulated the images and apply the class to the <div>.

The online validators found a total of three issues:

The CSS validator found a missing colon after a height attribute. I simply added it in and it broke the page - removed it and the page was fine.

The HTML validator stated I could not nest <h5> within <span>, so I had those instances changed to <label> instead of <h5>; and that I could not nest a <div> within a <span>, so I simply made do without the <span>.

About me

So, you wish to know about the face behind the muse, do you? Well, I’m not as edgy or ferocious, but I do all right!

Thank you for the tag @noire-pandora! <3

1: Why did you choose your url?

The url that you see now was actually not my first url. I’m first one was lotus-dreamcatcher something something. (I forget what the numbers were lol). It was just a random thought since one: I love, love, looooove dreamcatchers, and two: I think lotus flowers are such pretty flowers! So, I combined best of both worlds and slapped two or three numbers on the end! XD

The reason I switched it was because I wanted to have a more personal connection with my blog. When I started writing my fic, I was like, ‘Let’s just go the whole nine yards! No one else has it!’ and voila! Will I change it if my hyperfixation vanishes? No. I’m stuck in hell, remember? *smiles*

2: Any side blogs? if you have them, name them and why you have them.

I have no side blogs because I would be terrible trying to micromanage them. My obsessions tend to ebb and flow, and this blog is the first time I’ve latched onto something for so long. I’ve had fixations with Dragon Age before (I’ve had the game for years, of course), but it always fizzled out and I latched onto something else (Fire Emblem, Skyrim, etc.). So, whatever fandom takes me by the horns, ya’ll have to witness it here! *cackles*

3: How long have you been on tumblr?

Hmm..I think for about...2 years? I made this blog a while back, posted a fic I had written for the first time, and then disappeared. I didn’t come back until just under a year ago when I wrote my first version of Emerald Eyes Amidst Golden Vows. But truthfully, I’m not sure. I know I haven’t been here long, though! XD

4: Do you have a queue tag?

Nope! I just scan the tags I like, home page, and those I follow’s dashboard and reblog/like what I find interesting, funny, or what pertains to what I’m currently fixated on. I might go ham and post a lot, or I just slap one or two things on while I’m on break at work. It’s casual for me. :D

5: Why did you start your blog in the first place?

I was curious, to put it simply. I’ve always been into art/writing, and all the art I used to see elsewhere always looped back to here. I actually spent a lot of my time, once upon a time, on DeviantArt (The days when I had a tablet and had the time to draw~). Once I got into writing, however, I decided this might be a better place to share that. Not to mention, I saw the community for Dragon Age and I was like, ‘I want to be a part of this! I don’t have many people I can talk about Dragon Age with or simp mutually about characters! And they all seem so nice! Let’s try!’ And here I am. It’s paid off. All the waiting, slight dejectedness, and quiet posts have PAID OFF.

So, if you’re a starting blog and you feel kind of put off, just keep at it. It’ll gain traction. Trust me. :3

6: Why did you choose your icon/pfp?

Why not? It’s my BOY in his original, first play through form! (the play through I accidentally deleted, but you know *is still made about that*)

I chose it mainly because it was my best screenshot of Fane, and I was like, “I am true Dragon Age blog now. :3″, but really, it’s just because it was pretty. I’m a simplistic creature with simplistic tastes.

7: Why did you choose your header?

Again, it’s my BOY, and well, it was also pretty with the colors and his eyes and everything. I love my dragon son. What else can I say? *shrugs*

8: What’s your post with the most notes?

The post that issued by entrance in Solavellan Hell.

THIS ONE

It continuously spiraled for WEEKS until it finally went dormant, and I was like, ‘Well, damn. That was a wild ride.’ We all fall prey to the wolf at some point. Even I, who was so sure I adored Cullen. ‘Twas not to be. I like elves. Sorry, Commander. XD

9: How many mutuals do you have?

26! Which is about a quarter of who follows me, actually. Huh!

10: How many followers do you have?

You know, I just checked it the other day and my eyes went wide because I broke a 100 and I was like, ‘Am I really that relatable or likable!? Awwww! *cries*’ I’m currently at 107, but in all honesty, I don’t pay attention to the numbers. Some may be inactive, too, but it’s nice to see people enjoy and relate!

11: How many people do you follow?

85! I don’t like to clog up my dash too much because it’s easy to miss things I’m actually looking forward to seeing (art, fic updates, etc.) I could filter, obviously, but I is lazy. However, if I see a blog I really think is cool and enjoyable and is right up my alley, then of course I’ll follow! :3 I also try to follow back if someone follows me, but I forget to sometimes. I’m a bit scatterbrained if you haven’t noticed from my writing. XD

12: Have you ever made a shitpost?

I think I made like...two? They got a good bit of notes, but mainly because they were relatable more than funny, I think. If you want to know one thing about me it’s that if I adore a specific character, I either RAG on them until the cows come home, or I cry about them hysterically. With Solas, I am both, so I throw swings at him while in the next minute running over and saying I’m sorry. And I vocalize that with random memes. XD

13: How often do you use tumblr each day?

I get on in the morning after I wake up a bit to check around, stay on until I have to go to work at like 2, and I’ll pop on a few times throughout the day during my breaks or lunch, and once more before I call it quits for the day. I have a bad habit of keeping a tab up while I write and hopping back and forth. No wonder my writing flow gets lost in transit. XD

I also tend to fall asleep with my computer on, soooo yeah. X’D

14: Did you ever have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won?

Nope. I’m twenty-five. I left the drama bullshit back in high school when I graduated. I’m here to enjoy things that mean something to me, interact with people who share those interests, and just witness how creative everyone is and learn from them. Will I debate with someone civilly? Of course, I love debating concepts and interpretations of characters as much as I love analyzing those ideas. However, the moment those debates turn into ‘I’m right. You’re wrong.’ arguments, I walk away and ignore. I’ve been a part of internet discourse before when I ran a RP chat, I don’t need that again. Feel free to chat with me, but the minute it becomes a belligerent free for all, either expect a quick block or utter silence.

15: How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

I try to reblog things from content creators because that’s how they get the exposure they need, and I wholeheartedly support those people because I want people to be able to pursue and live a life where they can do what they enjoy and make ends meet rather than be stuck at a 9-5 job where they’re talents are wasted and miserable because of berating circumstances.

However, if someone explicitly says, ‘you need to reblog this because of some obscure reason’, I won’t do that. Be humble. That’s all. I understand the need for validation, painfully so, but there’s a line that needs to be drawn on some posts like that.

16: Do you like tag games?

You bet your ass I do! I love how interesting they are and that people are eager to involve me in them! Like this one! :D

17: Do you like ask games?

*looks at all the asks I’ve done for Fane* I adore them. Let me talk about my son until the end of time, even if I repeat things because he’s still GROWING.

18.Do you have a crush on a mutual?

Not romantically, but do I think everyone is worthy of love and hugs and yelling, complimenting words that make your insides all fuzzy and warm? YES. LET ME YELL AT YOU AND HUG YOU. <3

Tagging (if you want to of course!): @little-lightning-lavellan @oxygenforthewicked @aymayzing @dreadfutures @whataboutbugs and anyone else who’d like to!

#about me #i'm just a little lurker bug XD #i try to be profound but i'm really just here for a good time with great people :3 #tagged

1: Why did you choose your URL?

i was looking to change it while simultaneously having zero clue what to change it to lolol so i actually literally took the book cygnet (which combines both the cygnet and the firebird & the sorceress and the cygnet) by patricia mckillip, handed it to my friend, and asked her to flip it to a random page where i would pick from there and LO the words gold caught were chosen and shoved together and here we are!

2: Any side blogs? if you have them, name them and why you have them.

Tag Game

tagged by @woahjaybird and @batshit-birds thank you very very much

1. why did you choose your url? because it sounds dark and deep and mysterious and has nothing at all to do with that traffic law breaking, snow mobile riding, merchandise destroying hooligan of a band

2. any side blogs? too many side blogs. everyone knows @river-bottom-aesthetics, it’s just my aesthetics blog. i run @haha-hawkeye with @/woahjaybird but we’re terrible at updating. thennnnn an rp blog that, once again, i’m terrible at updating. and a spam blog i refuse to tag out of shame. this is my main tho

3. how long have you been on tumblr? i joined tumblr around uhhhhhhhhhh idk 2015 ish? 2014? that’s what, six to seven-ish years. somewhere in there. but i made this blog in 2019.

4. do you have a queue tag? nah, i barely ever use queue, only if i’ve rbed wayyy too many posts in one day and i feel like i should space it out just because. but not often enough to ever even make the distinction.

5. why did you start your blog in the first place? my very first baby tumblr blog? pjo. i was suchhh a pjo fangirl oh my god. i made this current one because, after deleting my old account, i missed the spn fandom (which lets you all know i am Certifiably Insane who the fuck misses being part of the spn fandom???) so i made another blog.

6. why did you choose your icon? i’m an aerialist (as you all probably know) and a blog i follow rbed an edit that someone made with the icon and i immediately went whoaaaaaa thats cool. i asked them if they were cool with me using their edit as a pfp, they were like sure, and so here i am! they’re linked in my blog description if you want to check them out.

7. why did you choose your header? ,,,,,,so the header for my mobile theme is something i made back when i was knee-deep in my mcu phase and i just kept it bc i thought it was funny with my new blog. but on desktop, my header is that one full-page opening panel from nightwing 78 bc i thought it was pretty.

8. what’s your post with the most notes? this dumbass supernatural one, unsuprisingly

9. how many mutuals do you have? uhhh mutuals that i like talk to on a regular basis? like 5 or 6. mutuals that i never talk to but we like/rb each other’s posts and generally appreciate each other? like 5 more.

10. how many followers do you have? way too fuckin many lmao

11. how many people are you following? 390. i’m scrolling through my following list and wow i just deadass forgot about half the fandoms i’ve been in

12. have you ever made a shitpost? uhhhh i’ve made a couple memes? a few meme posts? but no acutal shitposting

13. how often do you use tumblr each day? a lot, but not nearly as much as i used to, which counts for something right?

14. did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? yea back on my old blog i got into mild arguments with people about some things about pjo that i didn’t like and the fandom at the time was,,,,,uh. a little protective and i got into little fights about that. but tiny me had no backbone and very little tolerance for discourse before she got upset so those “arguments” stopped real quick, usually with me just ghosting the other person

15. how do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts? not a fan. i mean yea they teach me about stuff but i see them so often and they’re so irritating. oftentimes they’re not even about anything important, they’re just rb bait.

16. do you like tag games? i love tag games!! i get so excited whenever people tag me in stuff you have no idea. plus they’re just,,,,fun to do.

17. do you like asks games? i love ask games. i’m absolutely terrible at answering asks (literally i’m so sorry for that) bc i constantly have to make the answers long and in depth-ish, but with ask games, it’s pretty simple and short answer-like and fun. i adore them, but ik they can get kind of annoying cause you didn’t follow me just to see me rb ask games lol. so i only do them every once in a while, when i happen to check my follower count and see that i passed a number or something.

18. which of your tumblr mutuals do you think is famous? i am not tagging them because i am NOT that brave but uhhh @/damthosefandoms and @/batshit-birds. but the good thing about tumblr is, unless there’s a fandom hierarchy in particular (in which case that fandom is toxic stay away), there really isn’t much clout and famous-ness (i need a better word for that one) on tumblr, which is something i always liked.

19. do you have a crush on a mutual? yea @bonkybearjpeg hey pretty boy guess what i have a crush on you

20. tags @bikoncon @screennamealreadyused @bonkybearjpeg @subtleappreciation @newsical

#OKAY IT'S DONE NOW #o o f #sorry bout that my bad #tag game

Version 371

youtube

windows

zip

exe

os x

app

linux

tar.gz

source

tar.gz

I had a good week. There are several fixes, and I have added 'favourites' management for tag filters.

favourite tag filters

The Tag Filter is the newish whitelist/blacklist panel that manages which tags will be parsed, blacklisted, migrated, or, more recently, hidden on the new tag display system. It is being used in more and more places, so I have added the ability to save and load certain filters for quicker re-access.

So, now every tag filter edit panel has save/load/delete buttons in the top-right. They all share the same list of favourites. I also put in some example defaults. Let me know if you run into any trouble with it!

the rest

Thumbnails now sort by 'number of tags' and namespace sorts using the 'single' tag display context. So, if you have your thumbs set to hide page tags from the PTR, these page tags will no longer be included in a 'creator-series-volume-chapter-page' sort, for instance.

I fixed several smaller issues--a kind of video that would not import correctly, an unusual 'options' saving error after setting a number of ratings on several thumbnails, seeing duplicate thumbnails on some downloader highlights, gallery downloads that stopped early due to malformed post URLs, download pages sometimes secretly performing a collect and sort when a default collection is set, the media viewer being unable to show certain malformed files, and remote thumbnails not refreshing correctly when their respective file is imported.

Advanced users only: URL Classes now let you set whether requests for URLs matching the class will send a 'referer' http header. Normally, hydrus will send any 'previous' URL as the 'referer' (typically the gallery page when visiting a post page, or the post page when downloading a file), just as if you were visiting it in your web browser, but you can set it to never send any referrer, always use an auto-generated referrer, or use the auto-generated one when no natural referrer is available (which can happen on a user drag-and-drop URL import). The auto-generated referrer is a standard StringConverter operation on the URL being visited itself--if you can figure out a way to infer it from the original URL, or just replace it with a static value, I think some more perculiar downloaders should be possible.

For server administrators: The server no longer tries to slip in a quick vacuum when it is doing a backup. The vacuum command is now a forced, full vacuum command off the same admin menu. Also added are forced 'lock on', 'lock off', and 'test lock' commands that turn the 'server busy' state on and off and disconnect the db, letting you run a third-party backup if you wish.

For server janitors: You can now right-click petition rows to copy their tags. Multiple selections work, and siblings/parents offer left/right copy actions.

full list

the edit tag filter panel now has load/save/delete buttons at the top to manage tag filter favourites. it starts with a handful of examples

sorting thumbnails by num tags or namespaces now uses the 'single' tag display context

the 'sort by media views/viewtime' sorts now do not put the other (viewtime/views) as an implicit secondary sort, so as to better let the user's secondary sort be used

highlighting a downloader should now not be able to create a page with duplicate thumbnails

all thumbnail pages now do an addition de-dupe check when they are created with media

when a gallery page parser now adds new urls to a file import list, urls that are invalid will now be skipped (previously, they threw an error and failed the parse

fixed a bug where if a default collect is set, pages without a collect (e.g. download pages) would nonetheless initialise with collected+sorted initial media on session load

file imports now publish the same 'refresh existing media metadata' call as the file maintenance system, meaning if the import already exists in the gui session as an 'unknown thumb', it should now refresh itself correctly

if the media canvas is called to display an invalid media (due to mime mixup or a faulty parse that slips through), it should now better recognise that and skip/dump out

fixed import of videos that have 'Duration:' in their title metadata

improved the error reporting when the old options object fails to save

removed some old ratings dialog position options storage that was causing errors on certain ratings dialog ok events

url classes now support options regarding the 'referer' http header they send (their referral url). you can set an optional converter to generate a referral url based on the url class's url and choose to always use the given referrer if available, never use a referrer, use the converter if no referrer is available, or always use the converter

the network report mode now reports on referral urls used in requests

the 'quoted' referral url (a unicode workaround) is now only applied if the referral url cannot be encoded to latin-1

the janitorial petitions processing page now lets you copy tags and left/right tags of pairs with a right-click on selected checkbox rows

cleaned a little server code

improved how the server sets and releases its 'currently busy' mode

the server no longer does <5min vacuums in a backup command

added a specific 'vacuum' server POST command that forces a full vacuum

added 'lock_on' and 'lock_off' server POST commands to lock the server and shut down the db, and restart

the new vacuum, lock_on, lock_off, and a 'is server busy?' check commands are added to the services->admin menu

added 'pause and disconnect' ability to the database mainloop

added some unit tests for url classes and the new referral url conversions and server commands

cleaned some of the thumbnail banner/icon drawing code

some misc label fixes

next week

I have one more week before the large wx->Qt migration occurs, which I expect to take about four weeks. Since there will be long break, I will try to mostly work on small things so that last wx release is a 'clean' one without any earth-shattering bugs. I'd like to have some 'session weight' counting so the client will notice and notify you if your session gets too large.

If you have missed the news, 8chan is planned to relaunch in the near future under 8kun.net. Assuming the launch goes well and they are able to stay up, I am interested in moving the main /hydrus/ board back there. They are planning to migrate board content over to the new site for BOs who ask, and I have--thankfully, I still had my BO 'shared secret' lying around in my password manager--so with luck, the old 8chan /hydrus/ should be migrated and we'll be somewhat back to normal.

Preparation

I realize my ramblings can seem like a strangely unstable recap of what I’m thinking about this week, and true some weeks are more pulled together essays than others, and this week certainly isn’t one of those. No this week is a conglomeration of all the strange stuff that’s up, and what seems important is just bubbling to the top in a way that may or may not make sense, based on how lucky I am, and which end of the spectrum I land on, right?

Writing

This week I’ve been putting down the first few thousand on a story that I’ve had three or four false starts on. It’s one of those where I’ve either had a great character and no plot, or a great title with no story, or all of the above with no central conflict to drive the story forward. This time I might have a slightly better handle on it from the point of view of the outline. Mine still has a few holes in it, that I’m hoping to fill, but a writer, whose stuff I like about story structure went a long way towards helping me get this one in order. K.M.Weiland has a great way of dissecting the hero’s journey by the use of taking apart the movie Star Wars, and when you’re a life-long fan like I am, it’s a great way to cut through the bull and key-in on what’s missing from my story at any particular point.

Also this week, I want to single out YouTube to give thanks to. It’s amazing. Just the other week, I was complaining that after an ‘update’ to the iOS app, it now no longer shows me the number of videos added to each channel I subscribe to there, since my last visit. Since then, I have cut my video watching there by something like 90%.

Recipe for success: start with a thousand foul shots a day. It’s all about practice, even if you never reveal some manuscripts because they were just ‘practice.’

I know.

I used to get seriously stuck. When I could tell how many new videos had been added, I felt a much larger obligation to ‘catch up’ but now it takes so much work to identify what hasn’t been watched, I feel almost giddy about leaving them, and never finding out how many there were. I’ll go through, watch a couple, instead of fifteen or twenty and happily be on my way. Thanks YouTube! You realize if I had a way to dump every new unwatched video from channels I’m subscribed to into a queue automatically, I imagine I’d be little more than an animated skeleton screaming like a manic house elf by now.

As a result on top of that, I find it much easier to get in my daily writing again.

Reading

I’m starting my quest early this week, getting into the planning stages for this year’s NaNoWriMo. I recently acquired a kindle edition of Chris Baty’s No Plot, No Problem. It’s got all you need to get your National Novel Writing Month story started. I’ll do another fuller mention of NaNoWriMo closer to starting time, probably in October somewhere. I’m enjoying reading through it again. First time since I got sick and haven’t been able to handle physical books.

Therapy

I’ve been taking a bit of a rest from therapy this last bit. I’m going through a couple of home health recertification periods. Physical therapy is down a visit this week, and Occupational is still on hold. I’ve had the same OT for a year and that throws all sorts of rules into play that force me to go on a break for a couple of weeks. I gave to say that i’m still getting some new movement in my right shoulder despite that break, I just hope it’s not hindering everything else.

Website

I futzed with the website a fair amount and I think I’ve gotten to the point where i’m done messing with it fir a while. I’ve got my layouts pretty well agreed upon, my color scheme set up, my icons and menus where I like them, and the header images set up and behaving like I like them. I’ve played a lot with the featured images on the site, and decided where I want them to go. Now all I have to do is check out the tag pages, and search pages (do I gave those?) and see if I can do some tweaking there to the headline text I think. I don’t think it’s strong enough there. Trick is when you’re editing the template, don’t blow it up. I’m good though. Maybe I won’t blow it up much…

Practice

Is all about practice. Apparently it’ll even help me on the myelin regeneration front.

youtube

Truth

I have learned an eternal truth this week; chili cheese fries just don’t crisp up all that well in the oven. I know it should be obvious, but there’s something just so nice about food crisped up slightly in the oven when you’re reheating it for the second day. much as I want it to work, this is just too wet a dish to make it work. I thought I’d get a crispy edge here or there, coming up from the chili, and although there were a couple of them, there just weren’t enough to make a difference.

So, it’s a lot of strange stuff, but the point is, it’s coming together for success. I’m getting PT in to help me get up, and i’m getting ready to get that next book out

Afternoon MAGAthread: YOUR WEEKLY PRESIDENTIAL RECAP!

HAPPY SUNDAY GUNDAY DEPLORABLES!

This is u/IvaginaryFriend here to deliver all things spicy and dank from the past week! Before we get into that, if you guys haven't noticed already we have a BRAND NEW super dank Christmas header designed by one of our very own 'pedes!!! So I'd like to give a special shout out to u/rocky_smiles for not only being the winner of the header contest, but for helping us deck out our DOM in the best way possible!

As always, if you happened to miss any past recaps you can check those out here!

Sunday, December 9th:

🔥🔥TRUMP TWEETS🔥🔥:

On 245 occasions, former FBI Director James Comey told House investigators he didn’t know, didn’t recall, or couldn’t remember things when asked. Opened investigations on 4 Americans (not 2) - didn’t know who signed off and didn’t know Christopher Steele. All lies!

Leakin’ James Comey must have set a record for who lied the most to Congress in one day. His Friday testimony was so untruthful! This whole deal is a Rigged Fraud headed up by dishonest people who would do anything so that I could not become President. They are now exposed!

The Trump Administration has accomplished more than any other U.S. Administration in its first two (not even) years of existence, & we are having a great time doing it! All of this despite the Fake News Media, which has gone totally out of its mind-truly the Enemy of the People!

I am in the process of interviewing some really great people for the position of White House Chief of Staff. Fake News has been saying with certainty it was Nick Ayers, a spectacular person who will always be with our #MAGA agenda. I will be making a decision soon!

SIGNIFICANT TWEETS AND NEWS:

I’m surprised worldnews allowed that top comment to stay

Depends on the situation

Interesting...

Reddit is unbelievably petty.

🐸 TOP SPICE OF THE DAY 🐸:

The Left

You guys, I just found a 10-year old homophobic tweet from Elizabeth Warren!!!

They really need to start teaching basic logical thinking in schools.

Every time a Mueller announcement hits the Front Page of Reddit.

Monday, December 10th:

🔥🔥TRUMP TWEETS🔥🔥:

“Democrats can’t find a Smocking Gun tying the Trump campaign to Russia after James Comey’s testimony. No Smocking Gun...No Collusion.” @FoxNews That’s because there was NO COLLUSION. So now the Dems go to a simple private transaction, wrongly call it a campaign contribution,... ... ....which it was not (but even if it was, it is only a CIVIL CASE, like Obama’s - but it was done correctly by a lawyer and there would not even be a fine. Lawyer’s liability if he made a mistake, not me). Cohen just trying to get his sentence reduced. WITCH HUNT!

James Comey’s behind closed doors testimony reveals that “there was not evidence of Campaign Collusion” with Russia when he left the FBI. In other words, the Witch Hunt is illegal and should never have been started!

“Former FBI Director James Comey under fire for his testimony acknowledging he knew that the Democrats paid for that phony Trump Dossier.” @LouDobbs Details on Tuesday night.

SIGNIFICANT TWEETS AND NEWS:

3.5 Million People Drop Off Food Stamps Under Trump

There’s a reason the MSM and entertainment industry don’t celebrate real heroes anymore: it would expose the shallowness and vacuousness of the icons they parade in front of us.

US steel industry booming after Trump's tariffs

Italy Walks Out on UN Migration Meeting Saying National Borders are No Business of the UN

FITTON: MASSIVE. Benghazi scandal is back. Court questions whether Benghazi motivated Clinton email cover-up.

🔥🔥TRUMP TWEETS🔥🔥:

Despite the large Caravans that WERE forming and heading to our Country, people have not been able to get through our newly built Walls, makeshift Walls & Fences, or Border Patrol Officers & Military. They are now staying in Mexico or going back to their original countries....... ... .....Ice, Border Patrol and our Military have done a FANTASTIC job of securing our Southern Border. A Great Wall would be, however, a far easier & less expensive solution. We have already built large new sections & fully renovated others, making them like new. The Democrats,..... ... ....however, for strictly political reasons and because they have been pulled so far left, do NOT want Border Security. They want Open Borders for anyone to come in. This brings large scale crime and disease. Our Southern Border is now Secure and will remain that way....... ... .....I look forward to my meeting with Chuck Schumer & Nancy Pelosi. In 2006, Democrats voted for a Wall, and they were right to do so. Today, they no longer want Border Security. They will fight it at all cost, and Nancy must get votes for Speaker. But the Wall will get built... ... ....People do not yet realize how much of the Wall, including really effective renovation, has already been built. If the Democrats do not give us the votes to secure our Country, the Military will build the remaining sections of the Wall. They know how important it is!

Great job by Michael Anton on @foxandfriends. A true National Security expert!

Very productive conversations going on with China! Watch for some important announcements!

Fake News has it purposely wrong. Many, over ten, are vying for and wanting the White House Chief of Staff position. Why wouldn’t someone want one of the truly great and meaningful jobs in Washington. Please report news correctly. Thank you!

James Comey just totally exposed his partisan stance by urging his fellow Democrats to take back the White House in 2020. In other words, he is and has been a Democrat. Comey had no right heading the FBI at any time, but especially after his mind exploded!

“I don’t care what you think of the President...it cannot bleed over to the FBI...Comey is confirming there is bias in the FBI...” -Chris Swecker

Thanks to Leader McConnell for agreeing to bring a Senate vote on Criminal Justice this week! These historic changes will make communities SAFER and SAVE tremendous taxpayers dollars. It brings much needed hope to many families during the Holiday Season.

🐸 TOP SPICE OF THE DAY 🐸:

Cuck Schumer has been a career politician. Today he was forced to actually have a discussion..ON LIVE TV! It went badly for him. If he’s not standing at the podium speaking to a captive audience he’s a FUCKING JOKE!!!!

Thursday, December 13th:

TODAY'S ACTION:

Three Nominations Sent to the Senate

President Trump's Message on Border Security

First Lady Melania Trump Participates in a Toys for Tots Event

🔥🔥TRUMP TWEETS🔥🔥:

I often stated, “One way or the other, Mexico is going to pay for the Wall.” This has never changed. Our new deal with Mexico (and Canada), the USMCA, is so much better than the old, very costly & anti-USA NAFTA deal, that just by the money we save, MEXICO IS PAYING FOR THE WALL!

I never directed Michael Cohen to break the law. He was a lawyer and he is supposed to know the law. It is called “advice of counsel,” and a lawyer has great liability if a mistake is made. That is why they get paid. Despite that many campaign finance lawyers have strongly...... ... ....stated that I did nothing wrong with respect to campaign finance laws, if they even apply, because this was not campaign finance. Cohen was guilty on many charges unrelated to me, but he plead to two campaign charges which were not criminal and of which he probably was not... ... ....guilty even on a civil basis. Those charges were just agreed to by him in order to embarrass the president and get a much reduced prison sentence, which he did-including the fact that his family was temporarily let off the hook. As a lawyer, Michael has great liability to me!

They gave General Flynn a great deal because they were embarrassed by the way he was treated - the FBI said he didn’t lie and they overrode the FBI. They want to scare everybody into making up stories that are not true by catching them in the smallest of misstatements. Sad!...... ... WITCH HUNT!

If it was a Conservative that said what “crazed” Mika Brzezinski stated on her show yesterday, using a certain horrible term, that person would be banned permanently from television.... ... ....She will probably be given a pass, despite their terrible ratings. Congratulations to @RichardGrenell, our great Ambassador to Germany, for having the courage to take this horrible issue on!

Just did an interview with @HARRISFAULKNER on @FoxNews, airing now (1pmE.) Enjoy!

Happy 382nd Birthday @USNationalGuard. Our entire Nation is forever grateful for all you do 24/7/365. We love you! #Guard382

Today, it was my honor to welcome our Nation’s newly elected Governors to the @WhiteHouse!

Let’s not do a shutdown, Democrats - do what’s right for the American People!

China just announced that their economy is growing much slower than anticipated because of our Trade War with them. They have just suspended U.S. Tariff Hikes. U.S. is doing very well. China wants to make a big and very comprehensive deal. It could happen, and rather soon!

Many people have asked how we are doing in our negotiations with North Korea - I always reply by saying we are in no hurry, there is wonderful potential for great economic success for that country.... ... ....Kim Jong Un sees it better than anyone and will fully take advantage of it for his people. We are doing just fine!

Thank you to @tim_cook for agreeing to expand operations in the U.S. and thereby creating thousands of jobs!

I am pleased to announce that Mick Mulvaney, Director of the Office of Management & Budget, will be named Acting White House Chief of Staff, replacing General John Kelly, who has served our Country with distinction. Mick has done an outstanding job while in the Administration.... ... For the record, there were MANY people who wanted to be the White House Chief of Staff. Mick M will do a GREAT job!

As I predicted all along, Obamacare has been struck down as an UNCONSTITUTIONAL disaster! Now Congress must pass a STRONG law that provides GREAT healthcare and protects pre-existing conditions. Mitch and Nancy, get it done!

Wow, but not surprisingly, ObamaCare was just ruled UNCONSTITUTIONAL by a highly respected judge in Texas. Great news for America!

In response to order from a federal judge, Mueller is forced to release key documents on FBI interview with Michael Flynn, saying FBI agents “did not think Flynn was lying”, despite being unjustly charged

Judge Emmet G. Sullivan ordered DOJ to produce the FBI 302 of the FBI interview of Flynn. There is no 302 of the interview. Instead, there's a 302 of an interview of Strzok talking about the interview 6 months later.

Secretary of the Interior @RyanZinke will be leaving the Administration at the end of the year after having served for a period of almost two years. Ryan has accomplished much during his tenure and I want to thank him for his service to our Nation....... ... .......The Trump Administration will be announcing the new Secretary of the Interior next week.

Never in the history of our Country has the “press” been more dishonest than it is today. Stories that should be good, are bad. Stories that should be bad, are horrible. Many stories, like with the REAL story on Russia, Clinton & the DNC, seldom get reported. Too bad!

The pathetic and dishonest Weekly Standard, run by failed prognosticator Bill Kristol (who, like many others, never had a clue), is flat broke and out of business. Too bad. May it rest in peace!

Wow, 19,000 Texts between Lisa Page and her lover, Peter S of the FBI, in charge of the Russia Hoax, were just reported as being wiped clean and gone. Such a big story that will never be covered by the Fake News. Witch Hunt!
