disney: we’re taking all of our movies off of streaming services and we’re going to charge you $10 a month to watch them on our own streaming app

me: 

More like

Disney: “We’re going to take all our movies off of streaming sites INCLUDING THE ONE WE ALREADY OWN (Hulu) so we can put them on a separate one and milk even more money out of you.”

Me:

Disney owns everything, and even if they didn’t own it, they will eventually

Holy shit.

I think it would be easier to list what they DO NOT own….

If you were to resort to piracy over being exhausted over the various streaming services recreating the nickling and diming of the cable television industry (and I’m not saying you should - just… if you happen to find yourself there), a full VPN is not required.

You can have your torrent activity go through a proxy (while the rest of your traffic isn’t shuttled through there) using services like BTGuard. All the torrent activity is run through the proxy:

If your ISP has bandwidth caps, you’ll still run into those. But they won’t know what you’re transferring.

Just… information out there that you might find useful, in the age of ten-thousand different streaming services that all want you to keep adding more paid subscriptions.

Teach boys about periods

My mother also talked about periods to my brothers.

When I first got mine I had terrible cramps. Crippling cramps. I once was camping with my family and a few of my big brother’s friends when my period came. My cramps were so bad that my mom gave me a full pain killer ( I was 13 and before that she only gave me pills cut in half).

I literally laid down on my parents’ air mattress and cried in pain for an hour before the pill kicked in.

My brothers friend came in to the big tent and I was just curled up and sobbing. Now, I was quite the tomboy and was known to rough house with my brothers and their friends and made sure I wasnt seen as just “a little girl.” So my brother’s friend was confused to see me openly weeping in the fetal position (seriously, these were the worst cramps I have had in my life. My vision went white). He asked what was wrong with me.

My big brother stood up immediately and suggested a nice long hike. During this hike I am sure he had a pretty awkward conversation with his friend explaining menstrual cramps, because when they got back the pain pill had (mostly) kicked in and I was sitting up at a table when my brother’s friend sheepishly asked me if I was feeling better. I said I was better, and he said good.

When we made s'mores that night my brother and his friend kept me well supplied with chocolate.

Making sure sons know as much about periods and menstruation as daughters makes them better brothers, better sons better fathers, and better men. A man that understands a period will not lightly accuse a woman of “being on her period” if the woman is in an argument.

Raise better sons Teach them about normal bodily functions.

that is all for today, do stay tuned as i am always hunting for cool shit like this

when you don’t do a warm up and go straight into lineart and your hand does the thing

Thats a sign of inflammation of the wrist called carpel tunnel . I had surgery because it got so bad I couldn’t draw anymore.

Yikes D8. That’s why it’s so important to do stretches and draw with your whole arm (ok, arguably hard with a tablet versus a big gorgeous easel) and etc but I forgot today bc I am a moron and it was great

?????

people warm up to draw? like… how?

not an artists but climbing hand and lower arm exercises;

trying to find more and better diagrams for other stretches but yeah it’s super important if your gonna be using your arms a lot.

Adding this important video for all the artists out there, take care of your hands ♥

Badass lollipop

do you ever just

“no that’s not dramatic and cheesy enough”

“getting warmer”

“t HERE IT IS”

i love this but i dont know how to do this

hoW

For those wondering about HOW to do this, here’s a short explanation according to me:

Drawing A to Drawing B: -the most obvious change is the exaggeration of the line of motion in the character.  

In Drawing B the line of motion is much more pronounced, creating more drama and movement to the whole composition

-The arms are open wider, showing more confidence and exuberance in the character, exaggerating their emotions so they can be more clearly read without having to look to the face for emotional cues.

-the legs are wider apart, adding to the aforementioned confidence but also giving the character a solid foundation, visually speaking.

-The head is tilted back and overlapped by the chest, adding a touch of dynamic perspective to the drawing.

Drawing B to Drawing C:  -Most obvious change is to zoom in on the character.  Character framing is just as important as what the character is doing.  Zooming in can help infensify emotions.  this shot is ALL about this character and what they’re feeling. -Because of the zooming in, the arms/hands would have gotten lost, so instead of making the canvas wider, the artist has elected to rotate the character slightly, bringing a dynamic angle to things and more intensity to the close shot. -While the character is more upright in this shot compared to Drawing B, in Drawing C the chest still slightly overlaps the neck, preserving the feeling of being slightly below the character (putting them in a position of power relative to the viewer), which helps maintain confidence and power in the character. -the chest is exaggerated to carry the majority of the body’s line of action so even though you cannot see the legs, our brains are able to fill in the gap and envision that line of action. -The cropping/framing of the character allows for a more interesting composition/negative shapes created by the positive (character) on the negative (background), creating more visual interest as well as a circular motion to the composition through the arms, across the face to the negative space for the eyes to rest in before dropping to the hand in the background and back through the composition again.

Pretty sure I’ve posted this before. But worth a repost

°How to boost your metabolism°

Fact is: I have very slow metabolism. So I’ve been searching all over the internet for some tips to boost it a little and I found these little tricks. I’ve been using them since then and so far they really help me.

————————————————————————–● Drink lots of cold water. It burns around 9 calories per glass.

● Drink more liquids (lemon, grapefruit juice or green tea are your best options).

● Eat more protein than carbs in small portions (lean meat, beans and mushrooms are good options).

● Sprinkle your food with spices (pepper, cinnamon, curry…).

● Exercise more and always move (for example when I have classes in school I always shake my leg under the table).

● Drink 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar before a meal. It helps suck the fat out.

Stay safe and be kind to yourself! 🌹

reasons not to eat ❀

People love to talk about whether or not disabled people can work

but if you can work just fine and your disability is destroying your ability to have a life outside of work (because work takes all your energy and more)

Dead silence. Nobody cares.

File this under, oh you can be active for 4 hours? You can work part-time. Um no, I have to get ready for work (30 min) get to work (15 min) get home from work (15 min) feed myself all day (30 min) maintain myself, my home and my life (15 min, yeah right), which leaves 15 min for work and absolutely nothing else.

This is so accurate, back after I’d relapsed I wanted to try and go in for one class at school so I could still stay in contact with the education system. I let slip during a meeting that I managed to drag myself to that I could manage about 4 hours of activity a week, which the teacher sprang on to mean I was being lazy for just trying to get to 1 hour class. Never matter that it was 30 minutes travel, that I would have to get washed and dressed, that I would probably still need to recover for 3 days from it. 

Far too often abled people see the things they do easily as “non activities”, they don’t realise that for many disabled people these things have to be carefully planned and measured, and sometimes they simply can’t be done.

reblog bc the non activities thing seems really important words

I get X number of pain-free steps per day right now, which means that, for large conventions (like SDCC), I need to be in a mobility device.  I had someone ask if I used up my steps every day before transferring to the scooter, and look surprised and a little horrified when I said “no, I save them so I can go to the bathroom unassisted.”  Like, they had never considered that walking is involved in peeing.

!

Reblogging for the important point that the term “activity” may mean something very different and much broader for a disabled person with a chronic pain or fatigue related condition compared to its meaning for a non disabled person. If you’re tired enough, simply sitting up in a chair rather than lying in bed is an activity that drains energy otherwise usable for other things. A thing I knew from other people with pain and fatigue related conditions, but worth reinforcing for followers who didnt know or had forgotten.

Welcome to Tumblr.

Holy shit this is the most accurate post I have ever seen in my life

wait…this is a completely different gif set on my blog…

Reblog this and then check it on your Tumblr. Go on, do it.

Yes.

What? How? O_O

IT KNOWS WHAT FANDOMS YOUR IN

holy shit I’m trying this

oh

i feel like im looking at a relic

Hey everyone! I hope your week has been good! I’m currently on Easter break so I have been revising a lot and so I thought I would share my method of making a study plan since we are coming up to the final term of school and exams are on there way.

The first thing I would recommend is to think about everything you need to do in the next coming month and write it down in a word document, in your planner or bujo. I find a bujo works great for me but you might prefer something different.

Next open up an spreadsheet with either microsoft or google. I love the google suite it has saved me so much money and all you need is a Google account. What you should have is something along the lines of the picture below

So what we want to do is place the dates along the edge in column A skipping A1. Mine is going to span from the beginning of my Easter holidays to the weekend before I go back to school. This is what it should look like once you have the dates done. 

Next we are going to put our subjects in. I have 7 subjects so they will be going in B1, C1, D1,E1, F1, and G1. Once you have your subjects in, your study plan is almost done. All you have to do now is add the finishing touches and you have a fully functioning study plan.

I like to colour code certain things on my study plan for example I colour the dates I workout and I colour code the weeks I find it easier to tell which day is which.

Now all you have to do is put in what you want to study each day. I would recommend being realistic. I like to set two subjects a day and if I get them done I can add another subject. Whatever you feel comfortable doing work with it. Don’t over work yourself though as this can lead to you crashing and that isn’t good in the long run.

 I love making my study plans electronically because it’s qucik and easy to change and all witht the click of a buuto

This is what mine looks like once I am done. I tend to put a weeks worth of study in as I like to change it a lot so a week works out easier for me.

Once I have studied something I mark it with red so when I look at my plan quickly I can tell what I have done. 

I hope this has helped in someway and don’t be afraid to change it because what works for me might not work for you but this is a basic
