[Image ID: a thread of tweets from 🥕EasterGryffon🐇 (@CherryGryffon). The text is in white, with a blue-black background. The first tweet reads:
ATTN: ANYONE WITH NO HEATING OR POWER CURRENTLY
I know it's cold, I have some tips for you, thanks to having been through this before, many times. 🧵
Please RT the thread if you know anyone without power currently! 🖤
The second tweet reads:
- Choose 1 room to inhabit - Move all furniture to external walls - Move your mattress to the center of the 1 room - Block pets from leaving that room, put all needs in it - If your fridge is warming up, put all perishable items in a trash bag and place outside, form snow around
The third tweet reads:
- If you have plants, move them in the room with you - If you have a small space heater, move it in that room with you - Hang thick blankets or large towels in all the windows - If a sunny day arrives before power, open curtains when sun hits directly, then put back up
The fourth tweet reads:
- Wear multiple layers of clothing - If your pets are too cold, put socks on their feet and/or other clothing you have that fits them - Roll clothing or towels and block all door and window gaps - Throw all your dirty clothes on the floor, covering every space you can
The fifth tweet reads:
Your body heat will warm that room if you remain in ONLY that room. You want to use anything you can to add insulation between you, and the outside. Hence covering and blocking all floors, windows, and walls. Now isn't the time to have a clean house, it's the time to survive.
The sixth tweet reads:
Late addition thanks to a friend of mine:
If you have, or can get, bubble wrap, tape that to all windows, as it creates a kind of double insulation!
/End ID]
Every removable pillow and cushion goes in that room, against the walls.
Any kind of cardboard or foamcore can be pressed into window wells or taped over. Put wadded up newspaper or bubble wrap between the pane and the foamcore. Duct or painter's tape can hold the cardboard or foamcore to the wall. Mound laundry and blankets around you. Make sure pets have a similarly squishy bed to curl up in. Pet carriers are great for huddling in, and it's good to have them out anyway in case you MUST relocate. Food and water go close enough they don't have to come all the way out, if they don't want to.
Remember that to insulate, air pockets are necessary. Don't pack clothes or newspaper loose, but don't squish all the air out either. Insulation is made with foam or blown fiber for a reason. Air pockets in a non conductive material trap the cold instead of passing it on.
It is honestly way less miserable stuck in a single, insulated room than free roaming a house that is cold.
If your area is expected to be hard hit, prepare some of this in advance.
Keep your phone charged BEFORE the power goes out! Put it back on the charger when it reaches 80%, I am not kidding.
And, final tip, if you go outside and get REAL cold, take your clothes OFF when you get back and put different ones on. Preferably ones the cats have been laying on, but even if they are cool, as long as they are warmer than the ones you have been in outside, you will warm up faster. Even swapping just outer layers is helpful.
OH!!! Also, don't burn candles in the weatherproofed room. Bad for pets anyway, and they will use your oxygen and put carbon monoxide into the air, and that can make you sick. For real, even in a big house, constant candles will make you feel so gross after a while, and carbon monoxide BUILDS UP, from what I understand, it doesn't purge through lungs like carbon dioxide, it binds in your blood like oxygen and circulates like oxygen, using up space the oxygen would be using. It will build up over hours or days and make you feel nauseated, grody, headachy, and just generally foul. They are warm, but they aren't good for you. I made myself real sick like this in '07. Don't make my mistake.
In a pinch, stuffed animals or any kind of plushies will make great insulation. I spent my first night in my first apartment in winter sleeping under a mountain of stuffed animals because I could not find my blankets. Worked like a charm!

Always reblog this queen of burns the dude didn't even realise happened
Like to charge and reblog to cast Chinese scientists destroying the Insulin industry
the original tweet is from May this year but there has been an update!!
yay for the Chinese destroying the American insulin industry!!!!
I approve of powerscaling discourse only in utterly senseless contexts. I don't give a shit about which shōnen protagonists could beat up which other shōnen protagonists, but I will 100% read your five thousand word essay exploring the subtle nuances of establishing a tiered ranking of the Smurfs.
"Could Batman beat Captain America" trite, tedious, bullshit. "Could Deadpool beat Roger Rabbit" now you have my attention.
i normally don't have things to crash out about, but arguing about weather a story is a specific genre or not, and then whining when it doesn't fit the genre YOU gave it, is some horse shit. If something is a romance but has some mystery elements and the author comes out the gate telling you that, complaining about said mystery elements hogging the light just makes you look like a finicky twat.
Ppl always debate about how much an author should be responsible for reader's pre-concieved notions but if they start off with "this ain't a traditional romance plot wise" or "this is a mystery with a romance b plot" then the reader's can fuck RIGHT off.

LET MY GIRL FUCK UP SOMEONE'S NERVOUS SYSTEM
I just don’t understand where this concept of ‘fake geek girls’ came from. Like, AT ALL.
Cus when I look for fandom related stuff like 90% of the fan art and the fanfiction and the meta, zines, comics, etc. Like 90% of the shit that I’ve seen is created by women & girls.
And all that stuff take’s a lot of work and research and critical analysis and staring at reference photos for hours.
We are literally the most well versed and invested group in the fandom. So, like, What the fuck boys? You mad you can’t keep up?
I saw an argument, and I can’t find it now, but it totally made sense, that there’s a gender split in fandom. Male fandom tends to be a curator fandom; male fandom collects, organizes, and memorizes facts and figures. Male fandom tends to be KEEPERS of the canon; the fandom places great weight on those who have the biggest collection, the deepest knowledge of obscure subjects, the first appearances, creators, character interactions.
Female fandom is creative. Females create fanart, cosplay, fanwritings. Female fandom ALTERS canon, for the simple reason that canon does not serve female fandom. In order for it to fit the ‘outsider’ (female, queer, POC), the canon must be attacked and rebuilt, and that takes creation.
“Male” fandom devalues this contribution to fandom, because it is not the ‘right’ kind of fandom. “Girls only cosplay for attention, they’re not REAL fans!” “Fanfiction is full of stupid Mary Sues, girls only do it so they can make out with the main character!” “I, a male artist, have done this pin-up work and can put it in my portfolio! You, a female artist, have drawn stupid fanart, and it’s not appropriate to use as a professional reference!”
In the mind of people who decry the ‘fake geek girl,’ this fandom is not as worthy. It damages, or in their mind, destroys the canon. What is the point of memorizing every possible romantic entanglement of heterosexual white Danny Rand if someone turns around and creates a fanwork depicting him as a bisexual female of Asian descent (thus subverting Rand’s creepy ‘white savior’ origins)? When Danny Rand becomes Dani Rand, their power is lessened. What is important to them ceases to be the focus of the discussion. Creation and curatorship can work in tandom, but typically, in fandom, they are on opposite poles.
This is not to say that there aren’t brilliant male cosplayers or smashing female trivia experts, this is to say that the need of the individual fan is met with opposing concepts: In order for me to find myself in comics, I need to make that space for myself, and that is a creative force. Het white cis males are more likely to do anything possible to defend and preserve the canon because the canon is built to cater to them.
This is genuinely the best post I have ever read.
Comment bolded by me because effing important that’s why.
reblogging to add: all the queer males i know are creative rather than curator fan types. self included.
i think the keepers-of-the-canon thing comes easily to het males because they’re the ones mostly represented by the canon. they don’t look at the current state of things and go “but where am i in this?” because they’re front and center.
but when you look at something like, say, steven universe, suddenly they’re going “why aren’t there any male gems, what would a male gem be like” and making up male gemsonas. i don’t blame anyone who sees this as kind of diaper baby tantrum behavior, because like, guys, you have damn near every other sci-fi cartoon, let women have this one. but at the same time, i think it’s just a normal human instinct, to look at a story and try to see yourself in it. and if you’re not there, to try to imagine how you could be.
extrapolating from that, i reckon when canon works are more representative of the population at large, the curator/creator fandom types will be more distributed as well.
conversely, i’ve seen a lot of women behave like curators around steven universe, pushing for dogmatic adherence to facts and events in the way i’ve only ever seen men do. the gender disparity between creators and curators in fandom is bound to level off a bit as more works get created that are so genuinely about women and for women.
as is, since most properties are still made mostly by men, for men, and about men, and curators enshrine and protect canon rather than deconstruct and transform it, obviously most curators are men.
one thing i’d like more attention drawn to though is how unequal the barriers to entry in any given media field are for women and men, and the way whatever work women do is devalued specifically because it is done by women. the fact that so many cannon creators are men, while so many fandom creators are women, says some pretty fucking ugly stuff about our society.
Ironically, never felt more secure in my genderfluidity as I draw my little au creatures. While my WALL of collectables towers behind me
Lord knows that the United States has and continues to commit atrocities. I can't justify that. And the current political situation here is scary as hell. But I love this place. I love the Atlantic Ocean and New York City and the Pacific Northwest. I love my Blue Ridge Mountains with my whole entire heart. I love cardinals and mockingbirds and kudzu and possums and black rat snakes and the way the woods smell in the mornings.
I love that Americans are known for complimenting strangers. I love that we fry everything, and that we do it well. I love 12-foot-high plastic Halloween skeletons in people’s yards and tacky Christmas lights that stay up too long. I love that we are an unabashedly goofy people.
I love bluegrass music. I love stepping. I love that there are always folklorico dancers in my town’s Mardi Gras parade. I love that my town has a Mardi Gras parade, even though most people here aren’t Catholic or French and didn’t grow up with any kind of Carnivale tradition. I love that if "Livin On A Prayer" comes on a pizzeria, at least one person at each table won't be able to stop themselves from singing along. I love that the middle school gym shakes to the rafters when families cheer for THEIR baby finishing eighth grade and that they bring balloons and bouquets and flower garlands to celebrate.
I love the 80 year old couple at our local No Kings protest. I love all the little kids there with their families, too. I love the brass band that always shows up at protests here and plays old union songs and gospel music. I cry like a damn baby every time I hear “Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing.”
This country is horrible and selfish and destructive, but it’s also wonderful and kind and full of people loving and fighting and trying to make things better. And the people saying that there’s only one kind of real American, and that if you don’t look like they do or talk like they do or think like they do, then you don’t count, those people can go pound sand. I’m as real American as they come, and those people aren’t the only ones who get to love our country.
No bingo but gonna toss it out anyway

“Bro where u at we not supposed to be in heree”
always hilarious the lengths mammal moms will go to to retrieve a nearly-grown child from a situation of their own making
Yippie i finally made a masc briar design!!
O to ride on the back of a giant fox--that would be so cool fr. Gods can change their sizes probably so I like to tell myself this is a silly possibility
also I saw (and i think reblogged??) a post where some Eels in a waiting office had little caves decorated like sushi where they stuck their heads out of and it took out my knees
HELLO GORGON! Ohhh, I love how moody the first piece is! Eclipse looks exhausted while he languishes in agony, and his snakes are right there with him! The pose is also very *mwah*! The next two!? With the glowing eyes and the rage?? The lovely background of half-crumbling columns wrapped in green vines? AUGH I LOVE IT SO MUCH! I can't decide if I enjoy the shadowy one or the lighter one more but both are impeccable! So many fangs and teeth <333 (I'm also looking so respectfully at the back/arm muscle, I swear!)
PFFFFT briar holding up Mihalis Simba-style is peak and I adore that Eclipse is there, but he has to turn away to let the two have their moment together. It's a little detail but I enjoy it a lot. Plus, his snakes are so curious about what's going on with briar and that fox! THE SUSHI SNAKES PFFT THAT'S ADORABLE! (Just thinking about how long it took briar to convince Eclipse to let them make his snakes into sushi rolls... pffft!)
It's so cute to see the two goobers together and show off each other's snarling teeth! That's actually perfect and the cherry on top is the snakes not being as amused hehe ALSO MIHALIS FOX! AH, I LOVE SEEING HIS OTHER FORM! AND SO BIG?! He really is just glad to piss off his dad at any given chance <3
I also really love the quote you did for the last (spoiler) piece! Seeing briar brave and firm in the decision they've already made to stay with Eclipse no matter what is lovely. The pose is submissive, but you can see in Y/N's blindfolded expression how determined they are, and I love how well you capture that moment!
Ahhhh, I'm rattling you so hard! Thank you so much for sharing all of these lovely pieces! <3
