storyboard pro has a feature called generate auto-matte where you can instantly create a layer below the layer with your lineart that has a solid colour fill behind it without having to go in and colour it in by hand and it’s so useful, does clip studio paint have an option like this that’s just under a different name? if it does I can’t figure it out and it’s truly such a time saver when I’m boarding I wanna do it w illustrations too ;_;

Playing around with this tool could help, I think, but I’m not sure

THANK YOOOUUUUUUUUU OMG THIS RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On a similar note, the Supernatural Breaking News meme was funny earlier on, but as it's coming to be used for literally every single bit of minor news and people are more and more going "this is always how I learn about news first" or "I get my news only through this meme", I am BEGGING YOU to not get your news primarily off random Tumblr users and memes.

Subscribe to the (free) email newsletters of the national newspapers of record, multiple of them to catch the spectrum. Do the same for your regional, specialty, or local papers, especially the dailies and the ones that are not tabloids or conservative rags. Tune into their daily and weekly news brief podcasts and shows.

Contribute to their circulation count by actually reading and listening to their coverage. If you means to do so, actually subscribe to these papers; journalism and news reporting requires financial support. If their reporting or coverage is insufficient or does something you don't like, consider writing a letter to the editor complaining about it; if their reporting or coverage is fantastic and does something you do like, considering writing a letter to the editor highlighting it.

Some of you act like news reporting comes out of thin air and keep giving credit to memes and Twitter reposts, then don't contribute any credit or support to the journalists and organizations that actually did the reporting in the first place. There is constant eulogizing about how journalism, local newspapers, and print news is dying—that reporting of non-conservative political leaning is getting smothered—and then absolutely none of you put any effort into getting your news anywhere that isn't a Supernatural meme.

Been playing a lot of ToTK lately. They managed to make a miniboss more anxiety inducing than guardians and their piano, congratulations.

Random writing tips that my history professor just told during class that are actually helpful

We don’t talk enough about the two identical old women who just hang around Azula saying ominous shit in unison. What’s their deal. Is there a comic about them. Are they paid for their services

WHAT FUNCTION DO YOU SERVE IN THE GOVERNMENT

Miles finally got an explanation on what comic con is.

Looking at your own art for reference going “how the fuck did I do that”

The reason it sounds like that is because they put so many ghosts (abalone, dinosaur, etc) in it (admiring). Hope this helps!

Ok, but if you’re an independent contractor in the US and this happens? Find a lawyer, because you might have just gotten a huge payday.

Your position was just referred to as employment. Independent contractors do not have employers; they do not have employment. Congrats, your contact at this company just provided evidence that you were illegally missclassified.

This contact is claiming that you have set hours you’re obligated to fulfill. Unless a work task can only be done at a set time for practical reasons (i.e. you’re an audio freelancer paid to support a live event that occurs at a particular time and requires a certain amount of pre-show setup), a company cannot set an independent contractor’s work hours. This is further evidence that you were missclassified.

The whole exchange establishes that the company is interpreting an employer-employee relationship rather than expecting a service. Discipline and potential for firing (you cannot fire an independent contractor; no longer purchasing their service is not equivalent) establish that this person views themselves as a manager. Independent contractors cannot have managers.

This one text exchange could:

If the company is going to screw you over like that, may as well make them pay for it.

Since this is getting a lot of reblogs, here’s a federal source that can help you determine if you’re illegally classified as a contractor:

You can also file a form with the IRS to force the company to correct your classification (assuming you meet the criteria), without necessarily having to sue:

Keep in mind that this is just federal. Most states also prohibit missclassification as an independent contractor; and even if states have more lenient rules, companies still have to comply with this federal law. The rules have largely been bipartisan and existed for decades, so they’re common.

States also have an interest in having regulations about missclassification: it’s a significant loss of tax revenue. Your self employment tax does not fully equal what a company would have paid for you in payroll taxes.

A lawyer can help point you in the right direction if a company is currently missclassifying you.

Fantastic addition

See, a scientist makes a little moisture sensor sensor for his plant to remember to water it.

But a mad scientist chooses that kind of audio.

Put this guy in castle Heterodyne, and they'd be best friends.

Joke's on you! I loved my first and middle name equally so when I got my Free Name Change (Comes With Marriage), I slammed those two suckers together into a hyphenated and unwieldy new first name!

Ooooh, a different way to keep the middle name! I kept my middle name and my maiden name as Two Middle Names and it confuses so many official forms and persons!

biden 2024 - making things work

This is why I honestly feel like Biden was the best possible choice in a shitty situation, even with his age and potential health issues. Because if nothing else, he is NOT REACTIONARY. He is methodical and dedicated. Do I wish he acted a little faster and with more of an eye towards progressive policies? Obviously yes. But given the choices, and given everything else that's happened, Biden has absolutely made the best of a bad situation. Sometimes you don't need a hero, you need a fucking repairman to come and just make it work until it can be fixed. And he's a damn good repairman.

Okay, I’ll give him the W for this one.

I remember at the time being like ‘the only thing that man likes more than unions is trains, so I’m surprised this didn’t get resolved better’ and I am delighted to hear that, in fact, it did.

the group chat when i ask whos available to hang out next week

Honestly this is one of the best formatted jokes of all time.

i’ve been thinking about this video nonstop since the first time i saw it

the jaunty walk perfectly in time with the music. the tip of the hat the unaware or uncaring bystanders. the shaky camera with random zooming. the fact that this is seemingly happening in a park. this is peak media i can’t get over it

Paracelsus walking into the university of Wurtenberg to tell the other doctors stop treating gunshot wounds with poultices made of feathers and cow manure.

That’s SO cool to see it explained
