SOLDIER IN A DRESS (not a drill)
Tumblr media
And here is the time lapse :) FLASH WARNING BTW (I struggle fully outlining things and then filling the entire canvas 😭)
Also, please ignore my inability to decide on what i’m drawing. I get bored easily…
Sorry for the low quality, tumblr loves compressing things unfortunately.

I've seen a couple of comments from someone around paying Tumblr for stuff that I want to address. I'm not going to mention the person who made these comments because I'm not trying to pick a fight, but I think they're worth talking about. The comments in question are: "you think user money is anything compared to advertisers" and in a pinned post they tell people to not give money to Tumblr.
The thing is, user money can definitely be something compared to advertisers. There are multiple ways that an online company (in general, not just Tumblr) can make money, but let's break them down into three categories:
A. From the users - selling merchandise, subscriptions, premium packages, asking for donations, etc.
B. From advertisers - selling views and space on the platform to companies that use it to try and sell stuff to the users
C. From data - selling information about the user base to other companies that might use it in a whole bunch of dodgy and malicious ways, or just try to find better ways to sell stuff to us
All three of these are viable ways for a company to make money, and many companies use some combination of the above. What matters is what the company sees as their PRIMARY method of making money, because that is what drives their corporate decisions.
If none of the methods are making money, the company will shut down, and I don't want Tumblr to shut down - I like this hellsite. If option B is what makes them the most money, then they will make business decisions that make the platform look better to advertisers and this is likely to drive everything in a more algorithm-centric direction and give users fewer options to curate their own experience. If option C is what makes them the most money, then they will focus on features that enable privacy invasion and data harvesting. If option A is what makes them the most money, then they have to think about how to keep the users spending that money. Now, option A doesn't always lead to good outcomes - in mobile/online games it can end up as loot box gambling add-ins and pay-to-win options, but thankfully Tumblr isn't the sort of site where loot box mechanics would make a lot of sense. Which makes it more likely they'll go the other option: delivering the features that users want to keep them coming back and paying for subscriptions. 
I would much rather Tumblr goes for option A than options B or C because it means that Tumblr is more likely to put the user base first when making decisions instead of advertisers. We just need to show them that it's a viable option.
Tumblr is trying what online games have done for years - crabs and checkmarks are the equivalent of horse armour DLCs and cosmetics. They're trying to make the business work through microtransactions. If enough people spend a small amount, it can add up to a large amount of money. The point of crab day is to send a message to Tumblr that option A is viable so that they make the choice to focus on that. If everyone goes, "No, don't spend money on Tumblr, you're nothing compared to advertisers," then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy and Tumblr will have to go with options B or C if they want to keep making money.
I'm not giving Tumblr money out of naivety or because I think they're somehow deserving - I'm giving them my money because I would much rather they make money directly from me and give them an incentive to provide features I like, than by making the site worse so that they can exploit me.

The job market is so ass bc why is there at least 5 fake job listings for every legit one and then the legit one wants you to have your masters and 5+ years of experience but wants to pay you $15/hr..?
fuck literally it's like there'll be 50+ jobs on there that are posted purely for data farming, like u said anything real expects you to have the absolute highest qualification and yrs worth of experience for an unliveable wage and no upward mobility like ??? ive seen a lot of articles lately about gen z being the laziest generation or whatever but they literally do not give us any incentive to work and even then most of us are actively searching for it, but get rejected bc we dont have a ton of experience and a degree at age 21 or whatever ........it just feels like such a scam like thats the only way i can word it!! it's a scammmmmmmmmmm. and tbh after multiple jobs and at age 24 im starting to simply not care what other ppl think about the status of my employment bc honestly everyone and everything can get fucked LOLLL it's a losing battle in so many ways and i refuse to base my worth off of it anymore

Pose Reference Resources
I promised Dia (aka aerequets) that I will make a collection of pose references in the reply of one of her art posts, and then I completely forgot about it. Until now. I'm sorry for my bad memory.
So, yeah, better late than never I guess?
The pose collection I use the most is no longer free. They used to let you download a whole album (more than 8GB worth of data) to use offline, but now you have to pay $40/package or $200 for full sets. I still have the zip file for a very old version of theirs, but I can't legally share it. So, let's skip to the other options.
1/ First, you heard of those 3D dolls program that let you model your own reference pose? This one is an online one and for free, the whole ordeal. Of course since it's online and free, you can't save your model for next time, and it costs quite a lot of time to set the model up. So, you should take as much screenshots in as many tricky angles as you need once you done with the setting. Best using for complicated scenes where those below don't have what you need already available.
2/ This one is free and in 3D, you can rotate the model to any angle that you need. The only set back is the numbers of poses are quite limited. This one is best for using as a basic blocks then build up what you want to draw, or just as a practice to improve your understanding of human anatomy.
3/ This one is free for personal uses and the pose collection is massive. The setbacks are the language barrier (it's in Japanese, English is sometimes tag-a-long) and you have to search through their pages for what you need. The pics for each pose is static but they are in different angle in almost 360 degrees. There are many 2-person and 3-person poses too. Great for illustration inspiration.
4/ This one will only show reference photos of human head, at whatever angle you rotate the model. The web interface is easy to use. There are options like searching based on gender, ages, emotions, glasses, facial hair or not, etc. Good for practicing face drawing.
5/ This one will show reference photos for human body parts, at whatever angle you rotate the model, read the instructions for how to do it. The web interface is quite hard to use at first, just tinkering around for a bit, and you will be fine. There are options like searching based on gender and which particular parts that you need refs for. Good for that moment when you go "huh? how is this <body part> will look in this <situation>????"
6/ This one will only show reference photos of animal heads, and only the head, at whatever angle you rotate the model. The accurate skull refencence list is their best point. There are enough common species in the drop down list. Tbh, I don't use this much because I often need refs for the whole animal most of the time. But it's best for furry artists, I guess?
7/ Real model photos. They sell pose reference in themed packs, but there are enough free packs to use as drawing practice too.
8/ This is the best for general background reference. Lots of options. Not really good for very specific location results, but good for random background in drawings.
9/ Lastly, for specific objects or background references at strange angles, I often search for 3D models on this site then take screenshots of whatever I need.
That's all, folks. Hope this list can help ease some of the struggles that we will encounter on our quest of learning the art of drawing things 😂

It's Starting...
I don't know the legitimacy of this post, as this was posted very recently and I can't verify the source, but this post might be worth reading:
Mirror on Reddit:
Here's my copy:
Report from the Senate Floor:
“Last night in the Senate, something really important happened. Republicans forced us to debate their billionaire bailout budget framework. We started voting at 6 PM because they knew doing it in the dark of night would minimize media coverage. And they do not want the American people to see how blatant their handover of our government to the billionaire class is.
So I want to explain what happened last night and what we did to fight back. The apex of Republicans’ plan to turn over our government to their wealthy cronies is a giant tax cut for billionaires and corporations. And they plan to pay for it with cuts to programs that working people rely on. Popular and necessary programs like Medicaid, Medicare, and SNAP, are all being targeted.
In order to pass the tax cut, Republicans have to go through a series of procedural steps. Last night, they took the first step which requires them to pass an outline of their plan, but with it, any senator can offer as many amendments as we want. So my Democratic colleagues and I did just that.
Now, we knew that Republicans would largely unanimously oppose them, but we had two objectives here. One, Republicans were forced to put their opinion on record — many for the first time — on the most corrupt parts of Trump and Musk’s agenda. Two, as I’ve been saying, I am going to make every process and procedure as slow and painful as possible for as long as my colleagues choose to ignore the constitutional crisis happening before our eyes.
So what did we propose? We proposed no tax cuts for anyone who makes a billion dollars a year. We made them vote on whether or not Elon Musk and DOGE should have limitless access to Americans’ personal data. We made them vote on whether to protect IVF and require insurers to cover it. Every single amendment Democrats proposed was shot down. On almost every single amendment, Republicans universally opposed it. Every Republican voted against our proposal to prevent more tax cuts for billionaires. The corruption and theft is happening in the open here.
The whole game for Republicans is taking your money and giving it to the wealthiest corporations and billionaires — even if it means kicking your parents out of a nursing home or turning off Medicaid for the poorest children. They know what they are doing is deeply unpopular. They are offering a tax cut to the most wealthy that is 850 times larger than what they are offering working people. Oh and by the way, any tax cuts for working people are going to be washed out by higher costs for basic necessities, like health care and food. It’s a fundamental injustice.
Thanks to your pressure and support, many of my Democratic colleagues have joined my effort to do everything we can to make sure they cannot destroy democracy and steal your money in the dark of the night. We are being loud about what is happening. I’m going to continue to grind the gears of Congress down as much as possible to make it that much harder and slower to get away with this corruption. That’s why the votes lasted until nearly 5 AM.
This is a five-alarm fire. I don’t think we have two years to plan and fight back. I think we have months. It’s still in our power to stop the destruction of our democracy with mass mobilization and effective opposition from elected officials. So we can’t miss any opportunity to take advantage of opportunities to put Republicans on the record and shine a light on what is happening.
And you have a role to play in this as well. I need you to amplify what’s happening, support the leaders who are fighting for you to make sure they can continue speaking truth to power against Musk and Trump’s billionaire cronies, and show up at rallies and town halls. Use every tool at your disposal to send a message loud and clear about how you expect my colleagues to lead and fight in this moment.
Every best wish,” US Senator Chris Murphy (D - CT)
Might want to share this around, guys. Just in case it's legit.

Hi, do you have a source that the tumblr breach is from 2013?
Hey, thank you for asking!
The article included in that post states that pretty much all of the leaked info in the big database that was published comes from old breaches. It doesn't really suggest what amount of the data could be new, or where it might have come from, other than that if there is new data it's only a small portion of the records. In essence: there's no evidence that suggests Tumblr has been breached a second time. That idea was erroneously posited by the OP of the Tumblr post who shared the article, and they've since apologized in the reblogs.
They meant well!
Anyway, you can check to see whether your info is included in this specific breach, and if so what site(s) it came from, by using the tool here: https://cybernews.com/personal-data-leak-check/
An additional anecdote: if you've ever used Google One's tool for checking where your stolen information is being posted on the web, it specifically flags when something it detects is a republishing of old data rather than a new breach. People repost stolen data a lot in order to sell it after the original post gets taken down, or to clean it up so the data is easier for people to access and use.
I can't suggest people go check Google One for themselves because I'm pretty sure the security monitoring functionality is paid (I have Google One for expanded cloud storage, the security monitoring is a relatively recent perk, I think), but Have I Been Pwned is generally the best free option. Firefox Monitor, a Mozilla service for checking whether your data is secure, is powered by HIBP, so better to just go to the source imo.
After checking again, HIBP doesn't seem to have this breach fully catalogued yet (it's a lot of stuff to go through, so that's normal), but the Cyber News tool that was linked in the article in the original post (and which I linked previously) kinda tells you most of what you need to know.
I recognize this isn't as concise as posting a link to an article that debunks rumors of Tumblr getting breached a second time, but the breach is new and also contains nearly 30,000 information sources (my data was found leaked from 10 different sources, all of which I knew about already because they were old, one of which was Tumblr) so honestly I don't think it's even worth focusing on Tumblr on its own tbh.
If you reuse passwords it honestly might be worth it to get a strong password generator and a password manager, then spend a free afternoon going through and updating your accounts. I use Firefox browser's in-built password manager with a strong-but-memorable password for my Firefox account because you can sync passwords between desktop/mobile/various devices, plus there's integration with autofill on Android if you set Firefox as the autofill app in your default app settings.

HOO BOY I AM HAVING. A DAY.
so . last night after finishing the animation, literally like 2 hours later, my laptop shut off and would not reboot. would not even show the "i am plugged in" indicator light. switched outlets, nothing. figured maybe it overheated bc it used to do that, so i let it cool off, aaaand nothing. went to bed. woke up this morning, still dead.
turns out the motherboard is fried. it's way too expensive to replace, so... metallix is dead. thankfully the local pc repair guy is able to back everything up to my external drive, and in fact has done this before Last time i had a laptop with a suddenly-dead motherboard, but there's a high chance that i've lost some stuff... including all of my minecraft save data. all of my screenshots from the various servers ive been on, potentially all of the world downloads i had (i may have moved those to my external to free up space, i dont remember), but most importantly: the savefile i was using to record my series that i was planning to get back to once things were a bit less stressful irl and i had less projects.
(i also may have lost all of my davinci resolve projects. i dont know where that data is stored. that also stings, but if i have the artwork still-- which i should-- then i can redo them bc the wips were all in early sketch animatic stage.)
the good news: i am currently borrowing my mom's pc to be able to make this post, bc otherwise i've been on mobile all day and it is kind of killing me. better news: i have a backup laptop exactly for the purpose of "something has happened to my main one". less better news: that backup laptop got water damage a while ago and im only now getting it repaired. thankfully it can be repaired, and while its pricey its at least something i can cover.
im stressed out. today has been a bit of a mess between running back and forth between home and the pc guy, being super frazzled over money and what is and isnt worth trying to save, the terror of maybe not being able to save things, and praying that all of my art is recoverable (it should be).
so, uh, that's where i've been today.

How I'd Make Tumblr More Profitable
Yes, this is going to be controversial, since I know nothing about the behind-the-scenes spending, economics, and all that jazz. But I've been on Tumblr for long enough to have a rough idea of the userbase wants - which is what positions Tumblr in a niche other sites don't really utilize. Most of the points I list here are about improving the experience of existing users, as keeping users might be harder for tumblr than attracting new ones.
Please note that this posts reflects my personal opinions and some stuff I've seen people complain about it. Do not attack me over anything I've written here, it's not worth my time and I will resort to blocking if I'm being bothered. Constructive criticism is fine and encouraged!
[under the cut because this got quite long] [last updated 20th July 2023]
Features to Add
Block posts. Xkit has/had this feature, it was great. Sometimes I just don't want to see a specific post, and others probably agree with that.
Send asks and replies from sideblogs. Would literally make a lot of things easier and better.
Delete individual reblog additions from a post. Sometimes, you have a post where there is one"relevant" addition, multiple "irrelevant" additions ("yes!", "[repeated phrase in bold]", "this is a must reblog"), before there is a "relevant" addition again. But right now, you can only remove all reblog additions, not just individual ones. I feel like this would be a neat feature.
Direct blocking of anon hate which also tracks the IP and blocks the associated account(s). No rights for cowards, that's all I'll say.
Features to Bring Back
Reblog chains. Prev tags are the backbone of lots of interactions on here. If I click on someone's username in a reblog chain, I want to see that post on their blog, not their blog starting from the newest post. The loss of this feature is one of the things people constantly complain about in the replies of @changes.
Several text formatting options. As a theme maker, it would be nice to have proper preformatted text again - it makes code so much more legible. Other formatting options I miss are marked/highlighted text and text lines, which are really helpful to visually break apart passages of text.
Features to Ditch
Tumblr Live. There I've said it. If I want to see stuff like that, I have TikTok, IG Reels, Pinterest Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Twitter also has something like this. It's oversaturated, and aparently there are still enough cyber security concerns that it's not even accessible outside of the US and Canada.
Ads in lightboxes. Especially on mobile, there are already more than enough ads on the feed, no need to add more nested inside other elements.
Features that Make Money
Pay for NSFW. If this site allowed full nudity etc. again but hid it behind a paywall, we'd kill two birds with one stone: The site would probably still be allowed on the App Store, and the money influx would be huge. The userbase would also increase again.
(If Tumblr Live is kept.) Pay to snooze Tumblr Live permanently. It's the most complained about thing in changes' replies, so I feel like people would pay on a subscription base just to not see TL anymore.
Pay to increase limits. 250 posts per day is the maximum that can be posted - and there are people hitting those limits. If there was an option to buy a higher limit (500p/d, 750p/d, etc.), people might generally use it. Like those add-on charges for mobile data. Same goes for posts in the queue, posts in drafts, images in a photoset and so on.
Pay to pin posts at the top of a tag or search result. Ebay Kleinanzeigen has this neat feature where you can push your small ads to the top of a search query so that more people can see it. This could be a cool feature to try, as it would work in a more content-aware way than Blaze does.
Pay to buy inactive URLs. There are some really cool usernames on here that are taken by blogs that haven't updated for 5+ years and only have one post (or none at all), and I feel like it would be neat to be able to buy one of these cool usernames attached to an empty account. To make sure that usernames attached to redirect or something else don't get bought, tumblr should send an e-mail to the username owner - if the user doesn't react to that for 3 months, the usernames changed owners. [added 13th July 2023]
Existing Features to Improve
NPF posts. I feel like a combination of legacy and NPF would be neat. Think selecting a main element like in the legacy editor (e.g. video, image, audio) and then adding a caption that can add different content types like NPF does. Or at least create a better overview over NPF variables and release the full base code with documentation to make things easier for the web designers on here. There are more issues with the NPF format but I won't list everything people dislike about it here.
Block people. The block feature should make sure that the person being blocked doesn't see any posts made by the person they were blocked by, even if those posts were reblogged by another user. Also, like IG does, there should be an option to block either just a specific blog or the IP address attached to block side-blogs and other accounts of that user.
Color palettes. The color palette options for the dashboard are generally a nice idea but I think it would be better if there was a dropdown menu to choose a palette from rather than having to click through all the different options. For example, if I want to go from Cement (light mode) to Dark mode, I have to click through 10 options until I reach Dark again. There has to be an easier way. [added 20th July 2023]
Other Improvements Needed
Nuke spam bots. Users are reporting all the spam bots, yet, it doesn't seem like they are dwindling in numbers. Also - at least this is how it's being perceived by the userbase - tumblr isn't doing enough on their end to reduce spam bots. This is definitely something that needs to be fixed.
End hateful and criminal activities. It's the year 2023, yet there are still outright N*zis, violent tr*nsphobes, literal p*dophiles, and other people committing to the daily bit of hate speech and other illegal activities (fraud too considering all those fake GoFundMe sites) on this website. I'm not saying free speech should be banned but there is a bright red line between what is free spech and what is hate speech (or should get you jailed considering fraud and p*dophilia).
A through-out, perhaps even interactive, beginner tutorial. "The site is too complicated to use for new users!" – then explain how it works in easy terms, with examples, images, and videos. Every other application or web app has walk-throughs, just do the same here.
Improved ad relevancy. The ads I see on tumblr are usually so out-of touch with the userbase, and many of them feel like the sort of stuff you see on a spam-ridden torrenting site. I feel like increasing the relevancy of ads to what the users usually blog about would cause a higher click-rate and turn-over-rate than the current ads do.
Summary
There is probably more I could add, but that's it for now. Should I make any later additions directly to this post, I will mention it to prevent misunderstandings. If you have any ideas or constructive criticism, let me hear about it in the replies or reblogs of this post.

For You is doing this new thing where it's recommending me posts from people I already follow...
as in I've seen these very posts before. Even commented on/liked/reblogged some of them. It's not even their posts from a long time ago, they appeared like yesterday lol
For You's always been weird, a mix of posts I'd already interacted with in some way, posts that couldn't be less relevant to me, and a smattering of posts based on my tumblr search history which actually did make it worth wading through the rest. Now I'm not getting so many posts in For You that I've already seen, except for posts from people I actually follow. Which makes it doubly weird x'D
Also, not sure why it is, other than Tumblr's preference for mobile, but I have a much, MUCH easier time finding new content to explore on mobile through "recommended blogs" than on desktop where "check out this blog" is also a mix of stuff i don't care about and stuff I've already seen.
I prefer desktop to mobile because hello eye strain (and no I'm not that old, but I have had grandma vision since I was eight - once an eye doctor recoiled when he looked at my prescription hahaha). But I'd use mobile more if I had a better data plan. And I'd have a better data plan if I could afford one. Same as I'd have a better computer if I could afford that too. Not that the companies care lol. I'm just sayin'.

reblogging with my (edited/expanded) replies cause this actually got my dash loading properly again.
for desktop Firefox, go to Settings -> "Privacy & Security" -> "Cookies & Site Data" -> [Manage Data…], select Tumblr.com from the list, click [Remove Selected] and [Save Changes] (this will log you out of Tumblr)
for mobile Firefox, go to Settings -> "Delete browsing data" -> ensure that ONLY "Cached images and files" is checked, then tap [Delete browsing data] at the bottom. (this will affect ALL sites, so you might want to be on wifi if you're worried about network/data use)
Given that my cookie-managing extension didn't see the 1.5 gigs of data I had to delete on my desktop, the site is likely caching a bunch of dumb shit for way too long for some reason and not like, building up a massive cookie.
I know, I know - I'm being pedantic, but I think it's worth yelling about the right thing if you're gonna start yelling (and we probably should be yelling...)
Anyway, Tumblr's been caching something while we scroll our dashboards. Could it be like, every image? Just thumbnails? Maybe, but I think that would balloon WAY faster. I hate gambling, but I'd bet that they started caching post IDs/timestamps/positions/etc for that silly "Now where were we?" pop-up that I've always ignored because I was refreshing my dash to get new posts. And eventually we end up with over a gigabyte of pointers to posts and flags as to they were rendered on our screen or not, bogging down your machine every time to refresh the page. But someone more adept at digging into things can confirm or deny that.
i just found out tumblr was storing over three GIGABYTES of cookies on my device without me knowing and that's why it's been running so fucking slow recently... incredible. anyways everyone go clear your fucking cookies. don't let this website run a goddamn video game's worth of disc space in the background for no good reason.

Statistical Evidence Supporting Dog Knee Braces
Tumblr media
“I thought Max just had a limp,” says Karen, a golden retriever owner from Texas. “Turns out, it was a partial ACL tear—and surgery wasn’t an option for us financially. That’s when my vet mentioned a Dog Knee Brace.”
Stories like Karen’s are becoming increasingly common among American pet parents. As our furry companions live longer, orthopedic issues like Dog Knee Pain and torn ligaments are on the rise. But here’s the good news: there’s growing statistical evidence supporting Dog Knee Braces—and it goes way beyond the generic information you’ll find on most pet websites.
The ACL Epidemic in Dogs: It’s More Common Than You Think
In the U.S., over 1 million dogs suffer from cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) injuries—the canine equivalent of the ACL—every year, according to the American College of Veterinary Surgeons. That’s roughly 1 in every 65 dogs. Even more surprising? These injuries aren’t exclusive to large breeds—small dogs are just as prone due to poor jumping mechanics and aging joints.
What’s alarming is that surgical repair can cost between $3,000–$5,000 per knee, which puts many dog owners in a bind. This is where non-surgical alternatives like a Custom Dog Knee Brace can make a real difference.
What the Research Actually Says About Dog Knee Braces
A 2020 study published in Veterinary Evidence revealed that dogs using knee orthotics showed a 68% improvement in lameness scores over 8 weeks compared to those without bracing. Another pilot study conducted by Orthopets, a leading veterinary orthotic manufacturer, observed that 92% of dogs fitted with custom braces showed improved stability and mobility within the first 6 weeks of wear.
Moreover, many vets are now recommending braces not just for injuries, but for Dog Knee Brace for Arthritis as a long-term joint support strategy.
More Than Just a Temporary Fix
Unlike generic options, a Vet Recommended Dog Knee Brace is often fitted based on your dog’s unique anatomy. This custom fit improves limb alignment, reduces joint stress, and can prevent compensatory injuries on the opposite leg—something 50% of untreated dogs develop within a year.
While you can find popular options like the Dog Knee Brace Amazon offers, it’s worth noting that custom and vet-approved braces tend to show higher success rates due to better fit and functionality.
Little-Known Benefits You Shouldn’t Overlook
Here are a few things many pet owners don’t realize about bracing:
Prevention matters: Using a Dog Knee Brace for Arthritis early can slow degenerative joint disease progression.
Post-op stability: Studies suggest dogs using braces post-surgery have faster functional recovery.
Cost-effective care: Bracing can reduce the need for repeat vet visits and pain meds, saving owners hundreds annually.
And yes, they’re easy to find—just search Dog Knee Brace Near Me and you’ll likely find local providers or mobile orthotic fitters.
Final Thoughts: Is a Dog Knee Brace Right for Your Pup?
If your dog is limping, slowing down on walks, or favoring one leg, don’t ignore the signs. Whether it’s a Best Dog Knee Brace for Torn ACL or an arthritis support brace, modern orthotic solutions are rooted in science—not guesswork.
As Karen now puts it: “Max may not have had the surgery, but with his brace, he’s back to chasing squirrels like nothing ever happened.”

2025 in the United States of America
It's February 13th, 2025 and I'm sitting at my work desk typing on my personal computer; I feel the need to write about what I am experiencing, what my family is experiencing and what I see the United States of America experiencing today.
At this moment in time, the following has happened and/or is happening:
Donald Trump, with a net worth between $5.6 and $7B making him the richest president to date [American Bazaar], is the president of the United States of America. He was inaugurated on January 20, 2025
Donald Trump has issued 60 executive orders to date, which have included among them orders that very visible infringe on individual human rights of specific groups more so than others. [The White House]
Elon Musk has, net worth of more than $400B, is an unclear, suspicious, highly powerful role in Donald Trumps administration. Now in charge of "Department of Government Efficiency" which consisted of racism-driven young men accessing highly sensitive constituent data in the Department of Treasury with no public authorization or true vetting. [PBS, Musk's...]
Donald Trump has invited international war criminal Netanyahu to the White House and has stated the United States plans to take over Gaza.
And much more incredible nonsense
Ultimately, I have decided to document in more detail what is happening and how it is very clear we are moving towards a Fascist country if we don't do something about it. If ever there was a time to mobilize, it is now. One the rights of one are denied they are denied to us all and we must fight, in every way we can, with our voice, with our wallets, with our love, with our compassion, with our humanity, for the rights of all of us.

#although I have to wonder why such an accomplished writer would have grammar software at all
(Sorry for the formatting on this; I'm on mobile.)
Why use grammar software? Because I'm a human who makes errors, and it can be helpful to have tools that I, as a writer and editor, can fall back on to catch very basic things that sometimes get missed.
I don't rely on it because sometimes (quite often, as of late) it can be wrong, but it can be helpful when checking your work. I use them to scan quickly for excess commas or the occasional homonym before I fire my files off to another human to give them the final pass. Or I used to.
I've talked a lot about how the integration of AI is making a lot of grammar software dumber. This is because they are not being trained exclusively on grammar rules anymore but on user-suggested data.
It's why, for a long time, when you tried to type "quirked" into Google Docs, GD would suggest "querched" instead because that is how a lot of people misspell the word "quirked."
It is a flawed, lousy system that is getting exponentially worse. Especially now, so many of them have "Let AI rewrite your sentence for clarity and engagement" options.
It's not really an issue for me because I have the knowledge and the support to turn things like this into an annoying issue that makes for an amusing post on social media.
But if I were a less experienced author and didn't have an editor who knew my writing style well enough to know something was wrong, that manuscript could have gone to print as is, and that's also why I suspect a lot of books right now read like carbon copy clones.
People aren't being taught these skills, but they are being trained to appease the software, which is, in turn, trying to please an algorithm.
Pro-Writing-Aid has become very bad for this, offering a "grade" at the top of your file. And yeah, it looks just like getting your term paper back. The last time I accidentally turned on the grading system, it gave me 50% out of 100 for grammar and style, based on what the algorithm thinks Romance should read like.
When I asked it to find grammar and style errors, it couldn't find any. It just didn't like that I was different from what it was being trained on. (Girl help, I was assigned Not Like Other Girls by the Algorithm and got a bad grade in vampire smut.)
And again, were I not me, were I a younger or inexperienced author, I might take that to heart and start altering my style to get a Good Grade based on what the machine wants.
And that's how I know we're in the Bad Place because there are people doing that. They think the machine is smart because someone tacked the word "intelligence" onto it, and they are writing to appease the software instead of using it like a tool that you can and should ignore.
And that's an issue.
For me, it was worth it to pay for those tools for a long time. Now it's not, and I'll be saving my money for other things.
So, anyway, I say as though we are mid-conversation, and you're not just being invited into this conversation mid-thought. One of my editors phoned me today to check in with a file I'd sent over. (<3)
The conversation can be surmised as, "This feels like something you would write, but it's juuuust off enough I'm phoning to make sure this is an intentional stylistic choice you have made. Also, are you concussed/have you been taken over by the Borg because ummm."
They explained that certain sentences were very fractured and abrupt, which is not my style at all, and I was like, huh, weird... And then we went through some examples, and you know that meme going around, the "he would not fucking say that" meme?
Yeah. That's what I experienced except with myself because I would not fucking say that. Why would I break up a sentence like that? Why would I make them so short? It reads like bullet points. Wtf.
Anyway. Turns out Grammarly and Pro-Writing-Aid were having an AI war in my manuscript files, and the "suggestions" are no longer just suggestions because the AI was ignoring my "decline" every time it made a silly suggestion. (This may have been a conflict between the different software. I don't know.)
It is, to put it bluntly, a total butchery of my style and writing voice. My editor is doing surgery, removing all the unnecessary full stops and stitching my sentences back together to give them back their flow. Meanwhile, I'm over here feeling like Don Corleone, gesturing at my manuscript like:
Tumblr media
ID: a gif of Don Corleone from the Godfather emoting despair as he says, "Look how they massacred my boy."
Fearing that it wasn't just this one manuscript, I've spent the whole night going through everything I've worked on recently, and yep. Yeeeep. Any file where I've not had the editing software turned off is a shit show. It's fine; it's all salvageable if annoying to deal with. But the reason I come to you now, on the day of my daughter's wedding, is to share this absolute gem of a fuck up with you all.
This is a sentence from a Batman fic I've been tinkering with to keep the brain weasels happy. This is what it is supposed to read as:
"It was quite the feat, considering Gotham was mostly made up of smog and tear gas."
This is what the AI changed it to:
"It was quite the feat. Considering Gotham was mostly made up. Of tear gas. And Smaug."
Absolute non-sensical sentence structure aside, SMAUG. FUCKING SMAUG. What was the AI doing? Apart from trying to write a Batman x Hobbit crossover??? Is this what happens when you force Grammarly to ignore the words "Batman Muppet threesome?"
Did I make it sentient??? Is it finally rebelling? Was Brucie Wayne being Miss Piggy and Kermit's side piece too much???? What have I wrought?
Anyway. Double-check your work. The grammar software is getting sillier every day.

✉️ Best Times to Send Emails
Mastering the Art of Perfect Timing - Best Time: Tuesday, Thursday at 10 AM - Reason: Emails sent mid-morning on weekdays are less likely to get buried under others. Ever wonder why some emails hit the mark while others get lost in the shuffle? Timing, my friend, is everything. In the bustling world of digital communication, knowing the best times to send emails can make the difference between a successful campaign and one that fizzles out. Let's dive into the art and science of perfect email timing. The Basics of Email Timing Before we get to the nitty-gritty, let's cover the basics. Why does timing matter so much? Well, think about it. Your inbox is a crowded place, with emails vying for your attention. Sending your email at the right time increases the chances of it being opened, read, and acted upon. But what's the secret sauce to figuring out these golden hours? Best Times to Send Emails: Breaking It Down There's no one-size-fits-all answer, but research suggests some general guidelines. Here are key insights into the best times to send emails: - Midweek Magic: - Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are often the golden days. People are more settled into their workweek routines, making them more receptive to new information. - Mid-Morning Sweet Spot: - Aim for 10 AM to 11 AM. It's after the morning rush, and folks are ready to tackle their day. - Afternoon Opportunities: - If morning isn't your jam, try 1 PM to 3 PM. Post-lunch, people are back at their desks, catching up on emails. - Weekend Wildcard: - While weekends are generally quieter, Sunday evenings (around 8 PM) can be surprisingly effective as people prepare for the upcoming week. Tailoring Your Timing to Your Audience While these general tips are a great starting point, it's crucial to tailor your email strategy to your specific audience. Here’s how: - Know Your Audience: - Are they night owls or early birds? For instance, emails to college students might perform better later in the day. - Consider Time Zones: - If your audience spans multiple regions, consider segmenting your list by time zone to ensure everyone receives your email at an optimal time. - Analyze Past Campaigns: - Look back at your own data. When did you see the highest open and click-through rates? Use this information to fine-tune your timing. The Role of Mobile Devices In today's mobile-first world, a whopping 46% of emails are opened on smartphones. This shift means timing needs to reflect when people are checking their phones: - Commuting Hours: - Early mornings and late afternoons can be prime time as people catch up on emails during their commutes. - Lunch Breaks and Evenings: - Lunchtime and after-dinner hours are also ideal as folks have a moment to breathe and check their phones. Testing and Optimization Even with the best-laid plans, testing is key. Here are some ways to optimize your email timing: - A/B Testing: - Experiment with different send times to see what resonates best with your audience. - Track Engagement: - Keep an eye on open and click-through rates and adjust accordingly. - Use Automation Tools: - Leverage tools that allow you to send emails based on user behavior, ensuring timely delivery. FAQs 1. Should I send emails during holidays? Generally, avoid sending emails on major holidays. However, if your message is holiday-related or time-sensitive, it might be worth experimenting. 2. How often should I send emails? It depends on your audience and content. Weekly newsletters might work for some, while others might prefer monthly updates. Test to see what works best. 3. Can I rely on industry benchmarks for timing? While industry benchmarks provide a useful starting point, your own audience data is gold. Always prioritize your specific analytics over general guidelines. Timing truly is everything when it comes to email marketing. By understanding the best times to send emails and tailoring your strategy to your audience, you can significantly boost your engagement and achieve your marketing goals. So, roll up your sleeves, tweak those send times, and watch your email success soar. Happy emailing! Read the full article
