fuck it. be creative even if you never really *make* anything. write out plot synopses of stories and then move on. design OCs you'll never use. make mood boards and concept art and don't do anything with them. life's too short to forget everything that inspired you and creation doesn't have to be "complete" to be worth the time you put into it.

Facebook PSA

Hey all, a little Social Media PSA if you have the Facebook App on your phone.

With the last update, Facebook began tracking something called ‘off-Facebook Activity’ which keeps up with all apps and browsing you do off of Facebook and collects that information with the purpose of targeting ads… which means they’re selling it to ad agencies. This includes access to any banking apps on your phone and your spending habits.

Not only is this a major breech of privacy that Facebook didn’t have to tell us about when they updated the app, it’s, of course, automatically turned on.

To turn it off, go into your Facebook app, pull up the menu from the main screen [the button with the three horizontal lines] scroll down to security and privacy, find ‘Off-Facebook Activity’ and hit the button that lets you manage your history to see all the apps it’s been collecting from. From there, you can clear the information it’s already collected, and there will be a button regarding ‘Future activity’ where you can turn the ‘feature’ off, at which point Facebook with give you an ‘ARE YOU SURE YOU DON’T WANT US COLLECTING YOUR INFORMATION TO SELL YOU THINGS???’ screen. Yes, yes you are sure. Because this is disgusting.

Facebook made this super hard to find, so I’ve written up instructions for how I got through it (on my app - I don’t know if there are other versions where it’s different):

From Facebook, go to the Menu by clicking on the three horizontal lines on the top right of the screen.

Scroll down to the bottom and select the Settings & Privacy drop-down menu.

Then select Settings (the first option under the drop-down).

This will take you to a screen showing multiple headers with lists of links under them

Scroll down to Your Facebook Information and select Off-Facebook Activity.

The next page has a short explanation of Off-Facebook Activity. Click Manage Your Off-Facebook Activity after the What You Can Do header.

This will take you to a screen with an option to Clear History (which I recommend). To actually turn off this feature, you will have to click the three dots at the top right of the screen and select the Manage Future Activity option that pops up.

This will take you to a page explaining in more detail what they’re doing. Select the Manage Future Activity at the bottom of the page.

THEN you can finally select the toggle to turn off Future Off-Facebook Activity.

If it’s glowing blue with the circle on the right side, it’s active, and if it’s gray with the circle on the left side, it’s off.

I don’t know who needs to read this but LGBT+ creators have the absolute right to include the issue of homophobia in their stories and make it a huge part of them because most of these creators are, in fact, processing their own experiences with that matter you fucking wet socks, and if it bothers you to see another gay story that deals with homophobia you’ll always have the choice to… not engage with this particular kind of gay stories

rneliflua

LGBT+ creators also have the right of making their gay romances less than perfect and complicated or downright unhealthy or tragic because maybe we’re tired of the cookie-cutter types of saccarine gay representation given to us by a mainstream media who’s so afraid of being accidentally offensive that it would only give us safe and watered down same-gender romances. and if you’re worried it might have the side-effect of demonizing gay relationships to occasional straight audiences maybe you should stop to think that maybe it’s not the responsibility of queer creators to make sure homophobes would stop being homophobes

mswyrr

-marginalized creators do not deserve to be silenced and controlled in a way their privileged colleagues aren’t by the very people who should understand how awful and harmful that is. they do not exist to give you SOFT FLUFF. they are artists to create the art they feel compelled to make.

-actors who are into meaty roles do not deserve to have their breadth of roles compromises by demands for endless omnipresent fluff either or to have their more complicated work insulted and condemned

Will humanity ever be free of the influence of Edna Mode? Can any of us so much as consider the character design for a hero or villain without her manifesting in the room, fully aware of our sins?

You know what, another layer of difficulty is when you’re thinking about villains, and the wise words of Megamind come into your head. You don’t just want your child to be just a regular villain. But how do you make your villain a Supervillain with no cape? Where is the drama? But Edna says no capes, you must deny them the flair. It is impossible to please them both, and it’s tearing this family apart.
