Catastrophe in progress

I spent the afternoon arranging our books by size and color (and it’s so satisfying and looks amazing) and my partner came home and stared in shock at the bookcase and then said “i’m a librarian, you can’t do this.”

[keplercryptids]

him: you split up all the song of ice and fire books

me: yeah i know, they’re all primary colors, it’s perfect

him: [self-destructs]

[operativesurprise]

You’re a monster

[thetumblrofrassilon]

As a former bookstore employee, this hurts my soul. I mean, sure it looks nice, but how do you find anything?

[keplercryptids]

it has occurred me during this process that apparently not everyone thinks about books by what color they are? like, literally when i’m looking for a book, i picture it in my mind. i have a very…tactile experience with the books i read and idk! i thought everyone did that lol.

my partner was like “how will i find [this book] for instance” and i replied “easy, it’s purple” and he looked at me like i was a witch.

OP your brain is neat and I love you for it you funky little color-coded cupcake. But you’re still a monster.

reblog if you're a nonbinary person who is 20+ years old

a lot of the time it can seem like all of the nonbinary people out there are teens/kids but older nonbinary people exist and it’s important that we recognize that being nonbinary is not just a kid thing that people grow out of!! nonbinary adults exist!

“But here’s a little secret for you: no one is ever the same thing again after anything. You are never the same twice, and much of your unhappiness comes from trying to pretend that you are. Accept that you are different each day, and do so joyfully, recognizing it for the gift it is. Work within the desires and goals of the person you are currently, until you aren’t that person anymore, and everything changes once again.”

Attention ALL artists!

You sure have seen this post. It has spread like wildfire over the past few days so I doubt there is any artist out there who hasn’t seen it. But even if you didn’t, you should read on because I’m about to tell you a handy little thing that can help you to protect your art from such assholes as the anon who submitted this bullcrap, as well as art thieves in general.

The magic word is Metadata.

Metadata is like an invisible signature that is embeded into a file. It can contain all kinds of information, like Title, date, keywords for online seach engines, and copyright information. And the best thing is, since this information is “hidden” in the code of your picture, it’s hard to remove it.

There is a nice basic tutorial on how to add Metadata, or “additional file information” to your images in photoshop. It’s really, really easy so check it out!

“Adding Your Contact And Copyright Info To Your Photos With Photoshop” on PhotoshopEssentials.com

I’m not sure if you can do the same with any other art program. If you know how to do this in other programs / can confirm that it works the same way there, please tell me so I can add the information to this post.

Adding the Metadata will not stop idiots from taking and reposting your art. It also won’t make them stop editing out your signature. It WILL however, help you prove that you are the original artist whenever you have to. Always remember my friends. You, the artist, are protected by law. No one has the right to take your intellectual property and hard work and repost, use or edit it without your permission. Ever.

[infinipede]

art thief: well how can you prove its yours??

me: /opens metadata

[swevenfox]

I spread the word as it is important to all artist who ever suffered from art thieving or so.

[miss-lillipants-deactivated2021]

You guys, metadata is super important, you guys. In an everday and legal sense. People legitimately look at and rely on metadata to know the basic, but important bits of information about a digital product (paintings, photographs, exe files, etc.), ESPECIALLY the source.

Don’t underestimate it!

[chromatocloo]

Welp I only saw this just now, hope I ain’t too late ʕ⚆ ᴥ ⚆;;;ʔ I hope it can be done on GIMP somehow.

[chromatocloo]

For GIMP users, here’s a li’l tutorial ʕ❀ゝᴥ・ʔ

1. Launch GIMP, then open or create an image.

2. Click “Image” near the top of the GIMP window and select “Image Properties” from the drop-down menu to open the Image Properties window. You can also press “Alt-Enter.”

3. Click the “Comment” tab near the top of the Image Properties window to switch to it.

4. Click once in the text box to start adding a comment. I strongly recommend you type it 

5. Type or paste the comment in the text box, then press “Close” to save it and close the Image Properties window.

6. Click “File” near the top of the GIMP window and select “Save As” from the menu to open the Save Image window. (Depending on which version of GIMP you use, you might have to select “Export As” to accomplish step 9)

7. Type a name for your file in the Name box, then select a folder where to save it in the Save In Folder box.

8. Click the small “+” sign in front of the Select File Type option to see all available file types.

9. Select “JPEG image” from the list and click “Save.” The Save As JPEG window pops up.

10. Use the Quality slider to adjust the quality of your image.

11. Click the “Save” button to save the image. The comment is now embedded in the image.

I- I just can’t get over Zuko and his arc. Everything he did - everything - was out of this insane drive to prove everyone wrong, to prove that he was worth something, and it amazes me that he never realized just how valuable he already was. 

His sister tells him ‘You waste all your time playing with knives. You’re not even good!’ and he masters dual swords.

His sister is a prodigy and he’s told he’ll never catch up. He learns from dragons. He trains the Avatar. He takes her down (with the help of a very skilled waterbender)

He’s left behind by his mother, cast out by his father, hunted by his sister, and Zuko still learns unconditional love. 

His father tells him he’s worthless and unloved, that he was ‘lucky to be born,’ and he becomes a man that the world is proud of. 

Anything his family said to him, he managed to turn around and build on it. He thrived on it, exploded from it, turned all the negativity into a positive path and it’s just… it’s amazing.

There’s just no end to my love for this character. No fucking end. 

Bonus: The weak, banished prince has fangirls for all the ages. Take that, Ozai.

dear clothing manufacturers:

make sleeves go all the way to the wrist

stop putting shelf bras in everything

make jeans for short people with big butts

make shirts out of anything more substantial than gossamer

stop putting hanger straps on everything, they’re fn annoying and we’re disasters who don’t use them anyway

fake pockets???!!? FAKE POCKETS??!!?

put pockets on everything i am serious

charge less than half what you’re currently charging for shorts

end ‘one size fits all’ forever

size women’s clothing the way you size men’s clothing: with MEASUREMENTS

basically stop everything you’re doing and start over completely and don’t be rude dusty dongs this time

[snailsong]

Also:

Make tall clothes that are in proportion instead of just making legs/sleeves longer.

Standardise your sizes.

Make bigger hats.

Stop putting “cold shoulder” holes in everything.

Stop saying something is high-waisted when it’s actually normal-waisted.

hot take: hrt, gender therapy and trans surgeries should be free

[cloudsinsummertime]

if cis people don’t have to pay to have a body that doesn’t make them dysphoric, neither should trans people

[daisto-deactivated20181027]

So by that logic does that mean that I should get anti-depressants and all the other pills for my mental issues for free because the people who don’t suffer from them don’t have to pay to have them?

[cloudsinsummertime]

yes

[daisto-deactivated20181027]

But why should we get this stuff for free? Just because the majority has it or doesn’t need it? That’s not how that works. In life you can’t have anything for free. You work for a good home, you work for good clothes, you work for good food, you work for health care! If you didn’t then you would crumble your economy and also destroy the country you live in you walnut! HNNG.

[cloudsinsummertime]

you know there are places in the world where healthcare is affordable and/or free and the world hasn’t blown up, right? why shouldn’t the rest of the world be the same?

[borzboy-deactivated20180510]

How is “country should provide means to make citizens healthy mentally and physically” a radical idea

[androxibot-deactivated20190428]

My medication is free. My psychiatrist appointments are free. France also has a small but very efficient system for free therapy. In general, if you suffer from a chronic or prolonged illness (cancer, diabetes, arthritis, you name it), medical appointments and medication to treat your health issues are free. Otherwise, prescription-only medication is always free, the price of over-the-counter medication is regulated, and doctors’ appointments are almost completely refunded: a visit to my GP costs me 2€, and people who are too poor to pay even that are exempt. Healthcare should absolutely be free and accessible to everyone.

[closet-keys]

Cuba’s had free/state provided gender confirmation surgery for trans folks for years, and they’re a tiny, poor country that’s had to deal with active aggression from the US. If they can do it, then Western nations surely can.
