  also btw as a quick reminder, idk if i need to but i just felt like making a post about it- if youre confused or like, wondering where a thread of ours went, i prolly dropped it due to my two month rule- otherwise its still sitting in my drafts

  but like, even if it did hit the two month mark it doesnt mean that we can never pick it up again- you can message me and say ‘hey ik this hit ur limit but i rlly want to write this with u!’ and i’d be more than willing to try it again!! :]

#` ooc || move bitch im 𝙂𝘼𝙔 ` #psa tag. #( honestly this rule is just in place for my own sanity so i dont end up collecting too many threads in my drafts yakno? ) #( or even in my asks- ) #( but sdbfhjsd im just nervous that this just discourages ppl so im making this post to reassure... sb ) #( idk sjdhfbjsd ) #( writing is just for fun so i dont wanna put any pressure on it )

so uh , *  GENERAL PLOTTING DISCLAIMER !

before i attempt to do more plotting calls, i just wanna be upfront about my plotting process so anyone who may want to plot can be aware, and set the stage for like less awkward approaches (for me, i feel like the awkward one 100% of the time). 1)  language: you don’t have to feel obligated to be formal with me, or like small-talky with me. i’m very informal, and it makes me comfortable when we just talk like besties, shitpost, joke around. we don’t have to discuss things like two people organizing a project, or like polite co-workers. yell ideas at me!!! let loose. to be frank, formal or like overly polite conversation feels stiff, to me, and sometimes makes me anxious. just be as casual and blunt, open and honest as possible, leave formalities at the door, and we’ll have a good time. 2)  getting to it: to be honest, despite all this time that i’ve been here??? i’ve barely used plotting invitations for dynamics. winging it and spontaneity has always been my crutch. usually it’d end up being from casual discussions, or straight from dash shenanigans—but then again i had the most experience with canon muses, where i mostly leaned on the established relationships they had, canon is a shortcut forreal—so this element is so??? it is kind of relatively new to me. though i do want to experiment more with plotting, i’m so not that great when i’m like on the spot, having to spew out ideas right away (a little anxiety inducing, ngl). i think the best way to plot is just casually popping in when inspiration sparks like “hey, what if ...” and expanding that conversation. we love a “no pressure” atmosphere here.

Just to make a point, every time I finished a panel of this I would export it as a PNG on the perceptual setting and use it as a color reference for the next panel

IT'S BAD

PLEASE CHECK YOUR COLOR SETTINGS

EDIT: If you're still having problems, it might help to switch from "Save/Save as" to "Export (as a) Single Layer". Just. Make SURE the box labeled "Expression Color" is set to RGB. I've been messing with this all day, and it looks like this combination of settings will allow exported PNGs to maintain their colors perfectly. To you. So far both Discord and Toyhouse still only display desaturated images and I cannot for the life of me figure out why

Every time someone well-meaning suggests I see a chiropractor for my migraines, I have this little moment of "ah, you're new here. You weren't here prior to 2018 when a chiropractor very gently adjusted my neck for my migraines, and I ended up having to get an emergency MRI because the ensuing symptoms were indicative of a brain bleed."

It wasn't a brain bleed. The muscles on the entire right side of my neck "just" tore (Spoiler there is nothing "just" about that kind of traumatic injury. I am still in physical rehab for it), and I couldn't hold my head up, see straight, walk or do any of the things I'd previously taken for granted until several weeks later when the area finally started to heal.

This was before I knew I had Ehlers Danlos, btw. But this is true even for people who don't have a connective tissue disorder: Don't let chiropractors touch your neck.

There are a lot of vital nerves and blood vessels there, and even gentle adjustments of the area can have life-threatening consequences.

I know chiropractic care can be pain relieving--I still get it for my lower back and hips because I work with a chiropractor who knows about Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, and sometimes my hips need to be popped back in at short notice, and it's easier to hop walk in and see her than wait for physical therapy--but it is a short-term relief that doesn't actually correct why something is happening.

If you can afford it, physical therapy will likely help more in the long term. I know not everyone can afford it, and that's why chiropractors have such a booming trade in the US, but please, I'm begging you, don't get your neck adjusted.

The spinal cord specialist I saw after my injury told me the number one reason he used to see people for traumatic brain injuries was car wrecks, followed by other major roadside injuries. He said those numbers were still the highest, but after that, the majority of his patients were survivors of chiropractic injury.

Do Not Get Your Neck Adjusted.

It's been over 5 years, and I still can't move my neck properly on my right side. I still struggle to eat and drink because my muscles will randomly seize up. It feels like my skull no longer fits on top of my spine because of the scar tissue. Please. I just want people to be safe.

And if you are a chiropractor reading this and thinking, "Well, I've never injured anyone, skill issue." No. You Have Gotten Lucky. Rethink how you apply your trade. Please, you can still help people while recommending safer options for specific body parts. Learn to do pressure point release and acupressure. Teach patients how to stretch and relax the area safely. Just fucking stop cracking people's necks like pop rock candy.

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that 30+ brands of nutrition drinks including but not limited to Ensure, Pediasure, Glucerna, Oatly, and Premier Protein just got recalled for possible contamination with the bacteria that causes botulism, a paralytic toxin with a lethal dose of 1.3 nanograms. If you've purchased one of the affected lot numbers please return it to the store to be properly disposed of as a biohazard but do not accept any compensatory gift cards because that can be counted as a settlement if you need to file a lawsuit for any potential damages caused by this later on. If you have any questions regarding the recall there's a phone number listed in the article above that you can call, but if you believe you may have ingested toxins then please call your local poison control hotline. Stay safe

new winrar vulnerability, go update

if you use winrar, it's time to update to 6.23+ (link)

here, have a license key for winrar while you're at it, disables the "buy me" nag (link)

or get 7-zip if you want a free program that's just as good, no donation nag, integrates cleanly with windows (link)

It's like I blinked and "Haha I'm going to kill myself" became a funny joke to make again, or an alright thing to say ironically. You guys stop that. You'll feel better for not saying it, I promise.

#this is also a psa to please not put that in tags for my art #i LOVE the gushing and the “oh my god my heart is in a blender i am laying down on the floor crying sobbing screaming” stuff! #just not the kms stuff. it took me a while to unlearn that habit and some of you guys need to do the same #it's so much funnier to say stuff like IM GONNA EAT A WHOLE GIRAFFE #or other such hyperbole #i promise #mango talks

Discord scam alert

If you get messages like this from a discord friend’s account, your friend has just become the victim of a phishing scam and the scammer is trying to get you too.

But my friend got his account back within an hour of this conversation, and your friend can get theirs back too.

The MO: using this scare story, the scammer tricks people into changing the email on their account to give the scammer control of the account. Once they have control, they use the hijacked account to send the scam pitch to all the victim’s friends

The motive: to try to get people who have nitro to bite, so the scammer can steal their credit card

Here’s how to keep your account safe and help your friend

DO NOT follow any of the instructions your friend’s account sends you. The scammer will lie to you and give you instructions to hand over control of your account.

DO:

Keep your cool. The scare story is a lie. The scammer has no power to force you to follow their instructions, they only have lies to try to trick you into it.

Ghost the scammer. It’s what I did as soon as I realised this was definitely a scam (I smelled shit immediately because my friend has a totally different typing style, but it would be harder to recognise coming from a random acquaintance), and they didn’t persevere any further after the end of the screenshot. Scammers target the vulnerable and avoid wasting effort on more difficult victims; if you ghost them they will sense you’re not biting and leave you alone.

Contact your friend on another platform if possible, to confirm that it’s not them and let them know they’ve been hacked

Direct your friend to the discord support ticket platform— my friend got his account back in like 30 minutes by sending a “hacked account” ticket here.

If your friend has nitro, make sure they get going on cancelling any compromised payment methods before the scammer can steal their money

Take this as a lesson to avoid repeated passwords and turn on 2FA on all your accounts, especially ones with any payment info attached— even if you think you’re too smart to get scammed, everyone has moments of not paying attention, and that’s what scammers prey on

fyi tumblr is fucking over people with custom domains

if you have a custom domain set, DO NOT UNTICK THE BUTTON on blog settings. you’re not allowed to add it back. (nope, that’s not mentioned anywhere on blog settings itself.) if you switch hosts and need to update nameservers, congrats! you’re fucked

custom domains were a feature that’s been available over a decade, but they’ve been unceremoniously removed. the idea of “legacy” domains is a joke

this is doubly egregious because they absolutely could be selling domains for people that don’t have one, while still allowing those of us that already had a domain to keep using ours. they also don’t even allow you to pay to use your own. so if someone bought a domain specifically to use on tumblr, if they accidentally untick the button then poof! they’re fucked because they can’t re-buy their own domain from tumblr 

it’s honestly pathetic how much of a transparent cash grab this is at worst, and how badly implemented this was at best. this is what happens when you accept incompetency as a modus operandi bc “lol quirky hellsite”

i highly, HIGHLY recommend not investing in this feature due to that incompetency and lack of transparency

Important about Tumblr posts

Do not tag "epilepsy" use "eyestrain" instead to save Epileptic life

Tagging flashing lights with Epilepsy or epilepsy warning will make it show up for epileptic users talking about epilepsy

"Eyestrain" and "flashing" are safe to use as a tag and save many folks

#tagging #info #psa #pls reblog #reminder #tag your gifs never with epilepsy in it #always use flashing and or eyestrain
