GO LOG INTO YOUR ACCOUNT RIGHT NOW

If you manage an account for a small business or a personal project, go log into your account right now and back up your work.

Things are getting worse on Twitter by the day and the suspensions are not rumors, they are happening. Please make sure to make copies of things you don't want to lose forever.

I talked about this on my Twitter already, but it's especially important to keep hammering in this one major point: this policy applies to the accounts of people who are deceased. Other social media sites have protocols to deal with the dead, and Twitter does not.

Shon Howell was a good friend of mine. He's better known as King Cheetah, a prolific furry artist that had been active since the 90s. In early 2019, he died from cancer, leaving all of his art and social media accounts abandoned.

Once this policy was announced the other day, I realized what that meant. So I went back to check Shon's Twitter, and...

Thankfully, I do have a huge archive of all of his work, and I'm in the process of tracking down and preserving anything that's left. But keep in mind, especially if you're an artist and use Twitter as your main platform: go somewhere else. Make sure your work is elsewhere. Make sure you can be contacted elsewhere. Twitter clearly has no concern about archiving your posts anymore because Elon fucked things up and seems to be invested in continuing to make it worse.

Today I treat you with a Mettaton fan art!

This was specifically made for a DTIY on Instagram, I decided to post it on here, I hope it's fine ^^.

Mettaton is legit my favourite Undertale character and aaaaa this was so much fun to make!

Because it is well and truly blessed.

That is because a hyena is, in fact a cat! ”Oh, Glynn,” you say, “Feliforma is kind of a ways back there on the…” No! Cat is cat! I bet they sit in boxes, too.

Could someone kindly provide a Hyena with a box and see what happens? I’ll wait.

…We’ve got another Classic in the making here. :)

parents are so crazy because they can say the most fucked up shit to you when your brain is forming and it sets the tone for your whole adult mind set and then they forget about it the next day

i went to a tiny counterserve diner once and accidentally poured sugar instead of salt all over my hashbrowns and was eating them sadly anyways. the waitress took them away and started making me another one and I tried to protest, but she just snorted and said "we're not catholic here". now every time i'm doing something painful out of obligation i think about how that is not repenting, this body is not a catholic establishment, there is no nobility in suffering.

that post calling ppl "mentally slow" for using chatgpt was v weird. while i think u should be learning & not getting chatgpt to write ur papers (tbh it's not even good at writing papers), i get that school is v demanding, esp when u have disabilities and/or a lot else going on. here's a couple tools to help take off some mental burdens of studying:

goblin.tools -> excellent site full of tools

  • magic to-do: AI breakdown of tasks into sub-steps
  • formalizer: in the name! changes text to formal language
  • judge: can tell u about the tone/subtext of ur writing
  • estimator: judges the length of a task for u
  • compiler: turns a braindump into a to-do list

researchrabbit: input a source u have already found to create connection webs (through citations) to other literatures -> ensures higher relevance in the sources u find vs digging thru ProQuest or JSTOR for hours

connectedpapers: same function as above, however it's limited to only 2 free articles

in case the hyperlinks break, direct links are below the cut

Need to be mindful for our feathered friends!

You can also buy bags of duck treats at feed stores.

However if you are in North America it may be a good idea to forgo feeding ducks this year. Avian flu has been spreading rapidly though waterfowl, and encouraging them to cluster together can spread the virus faster and expose humans and pets to it because the virus is shed in feces.
