heres an idea: tag ur fucking spoilers

​this is about the new spiderverse movie. everytime someone doesnt tag it correctly im blocking them :3

if u say the words: "shoulda seen it in theatres then" to me im going to get u.

i cant see it in theatres. i cannot view flashing lights or colors. i will be viewing this movie with the lights on and with sunglasses in my home bc studios are apparently incapable of making movies that are safe for everyone to watch. 👍

additionally: tag for flashing lights if ur putting out clips of the movie, u fucking asshats. its not fucking safe for people who are sensitive to flashing lights.

Someone give this woman a damn crown and medal

Happy pride month to country mama lynn and ger gay son only

aint it crazy how many people realize they're queer when they have the language to express how they feel and a support system to encourage self exploration????

I never stop enjoying reading this. Literally everyone's lives improves.

June 15 is the anniversary of both the Night Vale and Gravity Falls pilots, as well as Vanessa Doofenshmirtz’s birthday and “give it up for day 15” day

happy birthday to the only things ever

And love händel reunion day and Linda and Lawrence’s anniversary

Hey.

The most day ever

I luckily haven't had to deal with much chronic pain or hand pain yet, especially with regards to baking (crochet is another story). That said, these look like some pretty solid tips! There's also some in the comments section.

As this link nears five hundred notes, I'm just... very quietly touched at how many people are sharing it. Whether they need it themselves (or think they will someday), or know someone else who might need it, the fact that all of them are sharing the sentiment of "I want the people who love doing this thing to be able to keep doing the thing that they love" is... yeah. It makes me happy.

y'all wanna see a horror story in 2 pictures?

really wanna know where OP got this because the architecture doesn't line up at all; is the one on the right a photoshop job or an AI generation or what? look at the staircase in the back (replaced with a closet??), the fact that the doorway in the before and the 'arch' in the after are misaligned, the stairway the picture is taken from is replaced with a walkway...

edit: also the individual steps on the stairs moved between pictures!

...huh.

i found this tweet, and looking at the replies/quotes i see mentions of an instagram video, but with no links. and i don't have an instagram account and am not making one so i can search it

independently of whether these pictures correspond to physical reality i think i like the latter more, which from a look at the notes inspires not just disaste but moral outrage from a lot of people. c'est la vie!

Note: Since my old masterlist is getting notes again (and I'm hosting @tbb-appreciation-week this year), I thought it's a good time to release a new version with a lot more resources. If any of you know another site or thing that it's missing from the list, let me know and I'll include it!! [Altho, I'm getting this close 🤏 to the hyperlinks limit on this thing 😆]
Note 2: To avoid tagging the 3 people from whom I got multiple resources repeatedly, I've placed 1-3 asterisks between square brackets after the links, depending on the OP. I give the respective credit to them in a legend at the end of the post.

  • Lasana Lexicon by Anath_Tsurugi (fandom lexicon of the Lasat Language)

HELPFUL BLOGS & SITES

  • The amazing @fox-trot, who not only makes astonishing art and write an amazing fic, she also responds to medical questions and gives all kinds of references for writing medic characters. Check her #medicposting tag and you'll find tons of information. Also check #star wars reference and her art tag while you're at it.
  • @writebetterstarwars, which seems to be inactive, but there are a bunch of references there.
  • @howtofightwrite The place to find out how to write a good fight scene.
  • @scriptmedic no longer active, but it has a great deal of useful information.
  • @scripttorture for your whump needs. Major trigger warning for all its content.
  • @sw-anthrobiology A blog dedicated to collecting headcanons about the biology and cultures of Star Wars species.
  • @archeo-starwars In-universe sources on culture and history.
  • @clonewarsarchives Resources & Concept Art Blog for The Clone Wars animated series.
  • Wookiepedia If you don't find something in here, it's probably because it doesn't exist, neither as a canon nor legends reference.
  • Star Wars Databank: The official Star Wars website's reference guide. All canon.

WRITING IN GENERAL (For those who don't want to die like Stormtroopers)

  • SlickWrite: Completely free; online. Checks grammar, punctuation, flow, and writing style according to different settings (including fiction writing).
  • ProWritingAid: [RECOMMENDED] One of the most thorough online proofreader I've ever used. Although when using a free account gives extremely thorough feedback, with +20 different in-depth reports, for only the first 500 words. However, you can earn a premium account license (for a year or for life) if you get 10 or 20 new users signing up for free; (if you wouldn't mind doing so using the link above and help me earn mine, please). The settings allow you to check your writing according to your needs, from general to formal to creative. It has a bonus that you can check depending on the genre you're writing. For example, in creative, you can choose romance or sci-fiction (there are 14 sub-genre in total). And just like google docs, you can share a document, and people can view, comment or edit it too.
  • LanguageTool: [RECOMMENDED] Another excellent proofreader. It also has a word limit in free accounts, but if you use the add-on for Google Docs, it counts each page as a new document, so hitting the word limit is nearly impossible. It helps you to rewrite a sentence (3 a day), even if it doesn't raise any flags; it's very useful for when your sentence is grammatically correct, but it doesn't feel quite right.
  • Grammarly, Hemingway Editor: No so great, but they do the basic job.

twitter does tumblr sexyman polls -> tumblr agonises over this because we can't do polls -> tumblr adds polls -> both sites go crazy with fandom polls -> twitter announces it's locking polls behind paid membership -> "2024, The Year of Tumblr"

Just curious but how was generic cute blue anime character holding a cute fluffy animal going to prevent the post about blue websites often turned into anime characters from breaching? They fit right in that's mr tumblr herself and it's her year celebrating with a fluffy beast.

The phenomenon of people snagging their preferred username on Discord and within a couple hours getting a friend request from their not-quite-correct username doppelganger is incredibly funny even if I do feel for the people who have to beg for their lifetime username from a stranger

There’s one guy in Columbus Ohio that has a completely unique strain of Covid that we only know about because of how much he is shitting and it is baffling researchers.

His identity is a mystery but they know where commutes to because his shits turn up there too.

Imagine going about your daily life blissfully unaware that there’s a research team dedicated to tracking you through your actual shit
