So uh….some dude apparently recreated Adobe Photoshop feature-for-feature, for FREE, and it runs in your browser.
Anyway, fuck Adobe, and enjoy!
Give credit to the 30-year-old who did this shit for free and offers this remarkable thing for free!
Nice 👍🏻
Part of me wants people to see me, to hear me, to know me
But I’m always like a raw nerve and everything is too painful and overwhelming
And my panic comes out as just being pissy about things so I mostly keep it to myself
And people who are around me see a person who can be weird and silly and laugh at everything
But much of the time I’m covering up that I’m lost and confused and dying inside

The Body Shapes of the World’s Best Athletes Compared Side By Side
Health and fitness comes in all shapes and sizes. Every single one of these athletes is a certified bad-ass.
I’ve posted this before but it’s worth reblogging!
Just a reminder - if you’re drawing a team superhero book and more than one of your characters has the same build YOU’RE DOING IT ALL WRONG
Always reblog
This is excellent.
It’s also important to note that often (though not always!) physique is associated with one’s strength. Bodybuilders have defined muscles. Weightlifters and wrestlers have bulk. Gymnasts and boxers are small but muscular. Volleyball and basketball players are tall and lean. Runners and bikers are skinny with muscular legs. Hockey players and skiiers have powerful core muscles and thighs. Those who do field sports (discus, shot-putting, etc) have powerful chests and arms.
Obviously, there are exceptions, but athletes often have physiques that match their area. Not everyone is good at the same thing, nor is everyone’s body necessarily built for the same thing. Humans come in a lot of different shapes, and that’s a good thing, because not every shape is ideal for every activity.
I see this is back and as awesome as ever.

I don’t tend to look emotional most of the time, I don’t like to talk about my trauma and cry and share
When I was younger I would try to talk things out with people I trusted, but it usually left me just feeling more frustrated. I’m not always great at expressing myself and I know I’m hard to read for many people
That being said, I also don’t like to pretend I’m just fine when I’m not. I’ll usually just kind of announce that I’m NOT OK. I don’t go much further than that though because I don’t really know how to cope with my feelings and I don’t want to crumble away.
So people who don’t know me probably think I’m emotionless, or maybe that I’m Actually Just Fine or that I’m stupid and in denial because I often just kind of smile and laugh things off until I can get away
My best friend who was like a sister to me died, and I couldn’t be there, and I’m really a mass of anxiety about talking to people (particularly on the phone) so I don’t really have that community of grief that makes you feel less alone in times like this
And I want to ask questions and know what her last days were like, what she did, what she talked about, how she was feeling before her final stroke
And I want to know how her family is doing, and hear their stories and hear them talk about her, and for them to know I love them. I want her son to know I had a parent die on me when I was around his age and I know it’s shitty and terrifying, and that he is loved
And I want to just sit in the dark and feel nothing, because a piece of my soul is just shattered and gone, but also I know my pain is nothing compared to the pain of her family who lived with her through all this
I wish I could have been there
For the past few days I’ve been trying to go through the motions and continue living, but any time I’m not actively distracting myself I can feel the hole in my chest opening up and the panic building up
There will be a memorial for her on the 22nd, I hope it brings all of us some kind of closure

One of the most important things I learned in my Language and the Law class is that law enforcement will intentionally misinterpret every type of statement asking for a lawyer as not asking for a lawyer. Even directly saying it like this “I will not speak to you without a lawyer” can be taken as a simple statement of fact rather than a request for a lawyer. You literally have to state “I am now invoking my right to a lawyer” and every time they try to proceed with an interrogation you have to answer every question with “I am invoking my right to have a lawyer present”. You can’t just tell them you won’t talk without a lawyer or that you want a lawyer. You have to state that you are invoking your rights. Otherwise they could just say “well they just said they wouldn’t speak without a lawyer present. That’s not invoking their rights to a lawyer. It’s just stating a fact.” even just stating your right to a lawyer doesn’t count!
PLEASE share this addition. I am a lawyer who works in criminal defense, and this is one of the most avoidable things that people consistently get wrong about the Miranda rights.
Here are some more “ambiguous” phrases which courts have found DO NOT invoke your right to a lawyer:
“Maybe I should speak to my lawyer first.”
“I might like a lawyer.”
“I think I should have a lawyer present for this.”
“Could I speak to my lawyer first?”
“How long until my lawyer gets here?”
And perhaps most egregiously – “Get me a lawyer, dawg – ‘cause this is not what’s up.”
Here are the magic phrases which you need to know if you want to invoke your Miranda rights:
1) “Am I free to leave?”
It’s worth asking this even if the answer is obvious. Even if the officer does not let you leave, by forcing them to admit that you are not free to leave, you are creating a record which your attorney can use to prove that you were in custody. Miranda rights only apply if the interrogation is custodial, meaning that police officers will frequently claim that their suspects were “not in custody” to get around their Miranda rights.
2) “I am invoking my right to remain silent.”
Simply staying silent will not invoke your right to remain silent. As absurd as this is, you must explicitly say that you are invoking your right to remain silent in order to invoke that right.
3) “I am invoking my right to an attorney.”
As stated above, you must be not only clear and unambiguous, but clear and legally unambiguous. Don’t get cute. Don’t get sassy. And on the flip side, don’t get intimidated and use verbal ticks to minimize your request. Say the line with those words exactly – say it clearly, and say it once, and then say nothing else.
Because even after you’ve done all this, the police can still try to get you to talk. They’re not supposed to interrogate you, but they’re allowed to make casual conversation, and if that conversation just happens to circle back around to the thing they wanted to question you about, well, that’s really your fault for talking after you said you wouldn’t, isn’t it? Can’t possibly fault the poor officers when you initiated – if you really wanted to have your rights respected, you wouldn’t have talked to them in the first place.
The police know this, and they will mercilessly exploit this loophole. So, once you’ve successfully invoked your Miranda rights, any and all conversation you have with police officers will put those rights back into jeopardy.
Putting it all together:
Ask: “Am I free to leave?”
If they say no, say: “I am invoking my right to remain silent and I am invoking my right to an attorney.”
And then shut up and do not say a single thing to them for any reason whatsoever until you have actually spoken to an attorney. Yes, even if it takes hours. Yes, even if they start talking to you about something else.
Finally, a very important disclaimer:
I may be a lawyer, but I’m not your lawyer, and I cannot guarantee that what I’ve just laid out here will always work for every situation. We didn’t get to this bizarre and absurd place overnight – we built this ridiculous system piecemeal, by deciding on a case-by-case basis that certain phrases were “too ambiguous” or certain types of questioning weren’t actually questioning at all. The law is still in flux, and is still fundamentally out to get you, and willing to bend plain meaning beyond all recognition to do it. Even if you invoke your rights perfectly, exactly as I have specified above, there’s a chance that your invocation of rights will be disqualified on some new technicality that no one’s even thought of yet – and that’s precisely the problem.
Watch this video: “Don’t Talk To The Police”
I am begging my followers to please watch this video from start to finish. I know it’s long, but it is incredibly valuable information that everyone needs to know, especially if you’re involved in any form of activism.
Every single cop lies. Every single cop lies and manipulates and twists the situation around to get a confession. Even when they know that the person is innocent, even when they know that what they have isn’t enough to convict someone, even when they know that that confession has been made under duress or manipulation. All they care about is getting anything to put someone behind bars.
It doesn’t matter how eloquent or innocent or experienced you are. Do not talk to cops.
“Grief turns out to be a place none of us know until we reach it. We anticipate (we know) that someone close to us could die, but we do not look beyond the few days or weeks that immediately follow such an imagined death. We misconstrue the nature of even those few days or weeks. We might expect if the death is sudden to feel shock. We do not expect this shock to be obliterative, dislocating to both body and mind. We might expect that we will be prostrate, inconsolable, crazy with loss. We do not expect to be literally crazy, cool customers who believe their husband is about to return and need his shoes. In the version of grief we imagine, the model will be “healing.” A certain forward movement will prevail. The worst days will be the earliest days. We imagine that the moment to most severely test us will be the funeral, after which this hypothetical healing will take place. When we anticipate the funeral we wonder about failing to “get through it,” rise to the occasion, exhibit the “strength” that invariably gets mentioned as the correct response to death. We anticipate needing to steel ourselves the for the moment: will I be able to greet people, will I be able to leave the scene, will I be able even to get dressed that day? We have no way of knowing that this will not be the issue. We have no way of knowing that the funeral itself will be anodyne, a kind of narcotic regression in which we are wrapped in the care of others and the gravity and meaning of the occasion. Nor can we know ahead of the fact (and here lies the heart of the difference between grief as we imagine it and grief as it is) the unending absence that follows, the void, the very opposite of meaning, the relentless succession of moments during which we will confront the experience of meaninglessness itself.”

I am so obsessed w this I don't think I'll ever get tired of it
*gets tired of it and has the same feeling about new thing*
fuhhhhh
I don’t mean to be rude; but I don’t think I’ve ever seen this, does anyone have any examples?
Supernatural
Doctor Who (Steven Moffat specifically)
Sherlock (Steven Moffat specifically)
Actually Steven Moffat is basically just this sentiment given human form.
A version of this happened with The Magicians, tbh. Though instead of expectation: men, reality: women it was expectation: smug nihilists, reality: mentally ill queer folks.
Arguably Game of Thrones.
If we broaden it outside of television…I think Star Wars falls into this, at least the sequel trilogy. Maybe the MCU as well. And I can’t help but think of every band that’s ever complained that their fanbase is mostly women. 5 Seconds of Summer comes immediately to mind.
In general, most white male creators seem to have this massively entitled mindset where they want–and think they deserve–the time, attention, and enthusiasm that creative fandom (i.e. the side of fandom more dominated by women) is known for.
They want our eyes for ratings, our word-of-mouth for free publicity, our metas for social media buzz, and our spending power for merch and cons. But they don’t want us. And they don’t really want the responsibility of telling a story to a thoughtful, engaged audience, regardless of that audience’s demographic makeup. They just want to be praised for whatever schlock they cough up.
And like any other spoiled brat, they will break their toys before they share them.
It goes all the way to the top for kids shows. Toy sales will crash a show. Makes sense, but if those toys are gendered for boys instead of the female viewers, they won’t usually switch up the marketing and move them to the girl aisle. They cancel the show outright.
Mind you it is perfectly possible to make the switch in marketing, but execs would rather throw it all out than have something that doesn’t perform well with male viewers. For example the Rey merch was not expected to be popular, for some reason, there had to be public outcry to get merch of one of the main 3 protagonists. A PROTAGONIST. The fact that she wasn’t a huge part of the 1st launch says a lot already.
And what happened when female fans got too invested in the Sequel Trilogy? The entire writers room didn’t necessarily lash out, but they sure forgot how to behave.

Paul Dini: Superhero cartoon execs don’t want largely female audiences
#WhereIsRey (initial)
#WhereIsRey (ongoing)
The older, male generation of 'Star Wars' fans may be losing interest in the franchise, but female fans are stepping up.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was designed to be the opposite of The Last Jedi
You’re all sitting on the hot take of the decade tbh
And yet when they fond out that boys were watching MLP:FIM in droves, they had NO PROBLEM with it.
I’m tiny to the point of insignificance, compared to the creators mentioned in these posts. I don’t know if it matters, but I am pretty sure my audience is primarily women, and I love that. Men tend to be boring, violent, aggressive, and entitled. I’ve never encountered a single female gatekeeper in my life. I love the codification of women as the “creative side of fandom” because that reflects my experience. Women are just more interesting than men, in general, and I can’t imagine being upset about or trying to hurt them.
I don’t go around talking about it much, because everyone already thinks I’m weird and awkward
But I saw this, I was there. I lived in Putnam Lake (aka Patterson) NY at the time- a neighboring town to Brewster. I was out on my tire swing after dark, because I liked to gaze at the sky. Because the property was on a hill, when I sat on the swing at the top of the property, I could see the stars over the trees. If you looked far enough to the right, you often could also see the very distant glow of NYC. While we lived in that house I spent a lot of time sitting comfortably on that swing, gazing at the sky, and imagining what was going on down in the city.
This night I first remember seeing a weird light in the distance. It was a single point of light that accelerated in my direction and split into two lights that zoomed off. Then a large kind of triangular object with lights moved towards me before passing overhead. I also remember a weird sound in my head as it went over, like a sparkly electronic sound..?
Afterward I jumped off the swing and ran toward the house, the whole way repeating to myself “Oh my god it’s real, it’s real, always remember this is real!”
Of course, once I got inside all excited, I was disappointed/annoyed that my mom and stepdad did not believe me lol
Several years later, after my stepdad died, we had moved to Florida. I was watching unsolved mysteries one night with my mom, and to my shock they did a story about these ufo sightings in Brewster NY! I felt super vindicated, and was so happy to find out that I wasn’t the only one to see them
I have no idea what they were, but something weird was definitely going down in NY in the 80s
Anyway, I thought I’d write this out for posterity. No one reads this tumblr anyway lol 🤷🏼♀️
It was a page right out of War of the Worlds, only this time it was real. Back in the mid 1980's UFO's sightings were reported on over fifty
Here it is! The instructions to make a pieced and quilted plague doctor mask!
Just as a heads up, this pattern is not really recommended for beginners. There is not a whole lot of explanation of the basic techniques, and it requires a fair bit of precision, two types of fusible interfacing, and an assumption that you can keep a consistent seam allowance and do some hand sewing and know when to sew things right sides together and such.
I am not promising anything, different methods will yield different results, I have never made a pattern exactly as it was written and neither should you. If you want something the same as the next person, go to the shops.
Actually, nevermind, this is a quarantine craft, stay home.
