So I thought this was commonly known internet navigation (but apparently it might just be those of us who have been using the internet since the 90’s who still know it). Or so it seems based on… a grumpy comment I got.

When you see an arrow like this:

It means you click it to expand out a hidden section.

It’s an accordion section/menu! It’s useful in web design to hide information that may be overwhelming under specific headers so people can only see what they need.

Here I’m using it for people who need the content warnings to be able to check, but for those who don’t need them and don’t want to be spoiled to just move right past without accidentally reading anything.

It’s still the user’s responsibility to click the arrow and read things as they need! But it is all warned. (And, yes, the all encompassing issues are already a tag on the fic, I’m just providing additonal warnings per chapter.)

I started a new (anonymous) GoogleDocs account just for the purpose of uploading academic files for if/when I lose institutional access to JSTOR. I was going to put it under my name, but then it occurred to me instead of using it as just my archive, that I could make it anonymous and open so that anytime anyone who doesn't have access to institutional library resources wants an article, hit me up with a message, I'll find it for you, and put in on the Google Drive and send you a link.

Open offer.

opening emergency writing commissions!!

my girlfriend found a kitten (looks to be about 4-5 weeks old) outside but she doesn't have the money for formula or wet food, or the money to put it in a shelter

at the very least, the goal is $35 USD to buy milk replacer formula & some wet food cans (as well as cover delivery costs) !! i also want to get a syringe in case it doesn't eat

his eye is also most likely infected and i don't expect to afford the vet bills for that by any means, but anything over the 35 will go towards:

more food

more formula

eye care (eyedrops/ointment, etc

other cat stuff

payments in cashapp only will write a oneshot from these fandoms (also canon Invader Zim) as well as OC stuff my writing examples are here

please DM me on Discord: @ egodivinity

donations are also greatly appreciated..

my cashapp is $kennysroom !!

0/35 so far..

i know we joke about cis artists having the weirdest sense of anatomy, but also even when the anatomy is fine, no one seems to want to draw women doing normal things
