#text-posting on mobile sucks

You know what would be really funny, is if people came together to have an anti-crab day. A day where every user who joined prior to automattic’s acquisition logged off for 24 hours to show that yes, actually, older user retention is important and you should listen us just as much as new users

The users giveth, the users taketh away

Typing Tips That I Stumbled Upon Randomly:

The Ctrl key lets you jump between words really quickly. If you hold Ctrl and press the left or right arrow keys, instead of moving your cursor 1 character you'll move it a whole word; if you want to edit that word that's 3 words back, you can just hold Ctrl and left-left-left, and you're there.

Even more useful in my opinion, if you hold Ctrl and press Backspace you'll delete the entire word you're on. That's just really nifty because a lot of the time when you're deleting you want to delete the whole word, so this is much faster.

Also, idk how well-known this is but holding Shift and moving your cursor will make you highlight any characters you move over. That's useful on its own, but combining that with Ctrl lets you quickly highlight whole words or sentences, so you can easily copy+paste them. You can also hold Shift to edit any selections you made with your mouse or something.

Also it took me too long to realize that the Home and End keys are actually really nice sometimes. Home takes you to the start of the line you're on, and End takes you to the end. Hold Shift while doing that and you can highlight the whole line. Very nice for programming. Also holding Ctrl and pressing Home or End takes you to the top or bottom of the page, but I barely use that.

A similarly useful key that I also overlooked is the Delete key. It's like the Backspace key, but it deletes the character in front of your cursor instead of behind it. Just like with Backspace Ctrl+Delete lets you delete a whole word in front of your cursor.

Also Ctrl+A lets you highlight the whole page.

Also even when you're not typing and instead just browsing a web page or something, you still technically have a cursor; if you click a piece of text, then hold Shift and press the arrow keys, you'll start highlighting text.

Practice Exercise: Click on the t in this word, then hold Shift and press left and right on the arrow keys! Now try holding Ctrl+Shift while you press the arrow keys! Hold Shift and press Home or End! Hold Shift and use your mouse to left-click on different spots in the paragraph and see how your selection changes!

Is anyone else experiencing mobile ads that are unmuted & start playing audio as soon as they come on your feed?

I keep hitting the mute button, but each ad I get still shows as unmuted & starts playing whatever music/audio it has in it. I'm almost positive I remember being able to mute one ad, then all other ads that pop up on my feed were muted, too. That no longer seems to be the case.

I wonder if this is a glitch or intentional. Somehow I have the feeling it's the latter, and if that's the case, that's scummy.

I'm less concerned about the minor inconvenience of having to lower/raise my volume whenever I want to watch a video then reminding myself to lower my volume again so I don't get jump scared by an ad later, & more concerned that it is an ad that is automatically unmuted & starts playing whenever it shows up on my feed.

I should have the option to keep my Tumblr browsing experience silent without having to lower my phone's volume all the way down. If I want to hear something play on my feed, I should have to unmute it myself vs. having it be unmuted for me unexpectedly.

Come to think of it, I feel like since I've started experiencing this issue, I've noticed more ads on my feed. Maybe I'm noticing them more bc now they have audio and catch my attention more often, or it could also be that they've just added more ads recently in addition to making all ads play sound whether you muted the previous ad or not.

Prepare yourself for "ah, they're an old" words. Maybe wisdomy words, maybe just words spun together to sound wise. Maybe it'll just be a goddamn story with some musings of a moral or whatever.

Anyway.

I got into a real bad bicycle crash last week, the day before valentine's day. I'm pretty sure the only reason I'm conscious, if not alive, is because I was wearing a bike helmet. What's really ironically funny to me is that I had read this article over the weekend before I got wrecked about how we should reconsider bike helmet laws and whether or not they actually help cyclists stay safe.

I mean, it didn't keep me safe but it certainly kept me alive. I waffle on whether we should legislate that for adults because people are always gonna do what they're gonna do and cops are all assholes, and I don't want to contribute to a grotesque system with more non-violent "crimes". But at the end of the day, if your head can meet pavement at high velocity such as I did last week, a helmet will help ensure you have a higher probability of being conscious for your trip to the ER. So that's your choice to make.

But I'm sure fucking glad I was wearing mine. I hit the ground so hard my head bounced, not that I remember it, but the lovely nurse who was immediately at my side told me it bounced and I believe her. (side note: every, and I mean *every*, major accident I've had the last ten years (which is also the vast majority I've had my entire life) there has always been a nurse nearby who was immediately at my side helping me. And good, kind people who drove me to a hospital if I needed it instead of me having to go in an ambulance. I don't know what kind of luck this is but I'm here for it.) Even with my helmet I fractured the left side of my face that wasn't protected by helmet, got the shiniest black eye I've ever had in my entire life, stunned a nerve in my face so bad I can't feel the entire left side of it, suffered a concussion, and broke my clavicle. Plus a few scrapes elsewhere.

I'm okay, all things considered. I've never had a concussion before and experiencing concussion fatigue, which is more like my brain immediately enters low power mode forcing me to nap or else (and I mean or else - the nap isn't a choice), is not an experience I ever really wanted to have. I had two conversations that lasted about 3 hours combined the other day and I had to take a two hour nap just to eat dinner. And tomorrow I'm getting surgery to "unionize my clavicle" which I've had more than a few chuckles over, considering my profession.

So. Wear your helmet. Even if you're careful. Even if your route is relatively car free. You never know what obstacles might exist. All it takes is one crash. Your helmet might be the reason you walk away, like me, after crashing at cruising speed.

I think I’ve misclicked trying to scroll and accidentally voted on like two polls today (X X; ).

In funnier tumblr news tho, my recommendations are filled with some random guy from Adventure Time because tumblr noticed that I tag the name Simon a lot. I keep getting excited and disappointed seeing posts talking about Simon but it’s wrong one every time lol.

Greetings, dwellers of the unconscious mind, welcome to my dream diary!

(Art by natoyuka!)

(Current pfp by Wemino, current header by Runta)

Salutations and welcome to my dream diary, You can call me Penta! Or really any cool/nice name you’d see fit (or, for extra brownie points, you can call me “Dynamic” since that’s cool too ��) I’m 19, she/her, and I think the concept of dreams having a lil more meaning is really cool! (And also might be because I’m a fan of Nights Into Dreams AHUHUHU— pm me if you really want my main blog, I don’t bite!)

Tag direction:

🧿 Dynamic Recollection - This is the tag for when a post includes art of the dream/aspects from said dream

🧿 Shared Subconscious - This’ll be the reblog tag

🧿 Disembodied Voice - This’ll be the tag used for answered asks

🧿 Collective Dynamic - I’m planning on letting others submit the dream’s they’ve had, this’ll be for that!

🧿 Made that divider myself! - Exactly what it sounds like, I use a lot of dividers from glittergraphics so it’s never truly credited, but if I made a divider myself I’ll say I did! All my dividers will be free to use with or without credit, as are most dividers

🧿 From Dreamer to Dreamer - This is what's used for off topic posts. stuff like life updates, blog updates, etc. (may or may not be a NiGHTS into dreams reference heheheheee)

What is this blog’s aesthetic? -> this blog is new however I’m going for a kinda psychedelic, fatidic, open third-eye type of feel to it, with also some feverish and Chinatown aesthetics thrown in here and there for the full dream experience, like LSD Dream Emulator but ig cooler— (which is where I pulled Dynamic from because my dreams are strangely open but all without ever being Lucid, dreams are so strange 🤔) So beware for eye imagery, maybe blood, and general dereality, hold no fear though! Everything will be rightfully tagged, and if you need something tagged don’t be afraid to ask!

That’s about it for my introduction, thanks for reading! Everybody have sweet, dynamic dreams, goodnight 🌙💝

I'm still doing a little work almost every day on the novel draft I did for NaNo in 2018. It's [word encompassing many different emotions, idk] to see the number of symptoms I gave Gareth. Some of them were on purpose to make him Like Me in some way. Some of them were me giving him problems I don't have because I thought they made sense for his character. None of the ones from the first 2-3 drafts were with any awareness of the underlying conditions giving me my symptoms

Scrolled to 2020 to try and update the file for Theo's birthday pic (HBD to him 💙) and that really was such a wonderful period for me in terms of drawing 🥲
