I love my job, but reblogging employment jelly for someone else I love.
Reblogging just in case it helps.
If you're writing anything involving cons, scams, heists, or morally questionable characters who are very good at lying, here are some free resources I've been using for research. Saving you the "why is this in my search history" anxiety.
1. The FBI's Famous Cases & Criminals archive (fbi.gov/history/famous-cases) has detailed breakdowns of real fraud cases, Ponzi schemes, and confidence operations. The language they use is clinical and precise, which is perfect for getting the procedural details right.
2. The FTC Consumer Sentinel Network publishes annual reports on the most common fraud tactics in the US. Great for understanding how modern scams actually work and what makes people fall for them.
3. The Smithsonian's American Art Museum has a free digital collection of forgery case studies. If your character forges documents or art, this is gold.
4. Court Listener (courtlistener.com) is a free legal database where you can read actual court transcripts from fraud trials. Want to know how a real con artist talks under oath? This is where you find out.
5. The Internet Archive's collection of old newspaper crime sections. Search for "confidence man" or "swindle" in papers from the 1920s through 1960s and you'll find incredible real stories that would feel too dramatic for fiction.
Bonus: The Psychology of Fraud section on the Association for Psychological Science website has accessible articles about why people trust, how deception works cognitively, and what makes someone a convincing liar. Essential reading if you want your con artist characters to feel psychologically real.
Reblog to save for later. Your WIP will thank you.
Interesting reblogging for later.
Remember when I told ya'll last month to be ready to start looking for a Discord alternative?
Yeah things aren't looking good for discord.
#what is the alternative anyway
If you want a direct alternative there's Revolt, which is a free, open source discord clone.
Revolt is the chat app that's truly built with you in mind.
Oh...
It's even worse than I thought.
Time to go back to IRC.
I recommend Element; it's very similar to Discord and has basically the same features but it's privacy-focused and both servers and DMs can both be encrypted so only the actual users of those rooms can read the messages.
This means unlike most popular chat apps, including and especially Discord, Element doesn't sell your conversations or tracking data to advertisers, because the company literally doesn't have access to that data in the first place.
I've used it for years and I think it's a natural fit for Discord users.
sighs. saves for later
Reblogging to remember this later.
Can I have everyoneâs attention please? Especially Australians
Sign Petition EN7163 - Asylum for Gender and Sexual Minorities from the United States
There is a petition imploring the Australian government to take in LGBTQIA+ refugees from the USA. Given the rapidly worsening political situation over there, I want to at least give this a go. I donât have any illusions that it will get through to the people that need to see it but I want to try anyway.
The petition closes in 8 days; if you arenât Australian, please do me a solid and pass this around. Reblog this if you can. Thank you.
e-petitions
This seems important. Sharing in case it could help people.
Maya amano. You agree. Reblog

A guide to designing wheelchair using characters!
I hope this helps anyone who's trying to design their oc using a wheelchair, it's not a complete guide but I tried my best! deffo do more research if you're writing them as a character
This seems helpful. Reblogging so I remember
A bit delayed, but the group portrait of the Tal'Dorei Council, my piece for @artists-guild-of-exandria Tourist's Guide to Taldorei, IS DONE!!!
From left to right: Elderbern Cleareyes, Odessa Tal'Dorei, Kel'jaia Uleoh, Brom Goldhand, Allura Vysoren, Syldor Vessar, Tofor Brotoras, Keyleth of the Air Ashari, Lady Vex'ahlia de Rolo and Dierdrik Greyspine.
This took forever but I'm really happy with the result and I hope you all like it!
âšdo not repost my art | Reblogs are loveâš
p2 pathfinder/dnd tokens! these were originally for a zine that went tits up due to mismanagement (my zine luck is so bad i just wanna draw man).
these are free to use in private games! (not streamed ones, due to the whole "these are characters from a copyrighted game" thing. yknow how it is). Obviously you don't need to keep them as the character they're made to represent, but I'll include the Pathfinder 2e ancestries and classes I had for these guys below the cut.
this is so cool
By Jonathan Lee CW genocide, ethnic violence Between 1936 and 1945 the Nazis wiped out over 50% of Europeâs Romani people. Whether they were choked to death in the gas chambers of Auschwitz-BirkâŠ
The Romani people who were the easiest to record and exterminate were those who were the most integrated in society. Like the Jews, these people existed on census records, military rosters, and school files. The decimation of this Romani middle-class meant that there were few strong voices who were in a position to speak up about the Romani genocide after 1945.
There were no Sinti or Roma called to testify at the Nuremberg trials. There were no Romani scholars, no Romani lawyers, no civil servants. No one left to document the atrocities committed against Romani people alongside the Jews â the only two peoples specifically targeted by the Nazisâ Final Solution to ensure German racial purity.
Whereas census data for Jews can be compared before and after the Holocaust, this is rarely the case for Sinti and Roma, meaning the total loss of Romani life is extremely difficult to piece together. Estimates vary somewhere between 500,000 and 1.5 million people. In 1939, around 30,000 people referred to as âGypsiesâ lived in what is now Germany and Austria. The total population living in Greater Germany and its occupied territories is unknown, though scholars Donald Kenrick and Grattan Puxon have provided a rough estimate of 942,000. Of the Sinti and Roma living in Germanic Central Europe, only 5,000 are thought to have survived.
Please read this. Please share this. Please remember us.
Ethan, you wanna see some shit?
Wow đŻ
Please take a comforting realistic affirmation and pass it on (again. This time for a week :] )
You are doing what you can. It is enough.
It has been okay before, It will be okay again.
You donât have to love yourself. First, you just have to not hate yourself.
Youâre special because youâre the only you, not the only one feeling this.
Know that you canât save everyone. Remember that you can try.
This too shall pass.
You are capable of so much more than you think.
You are not a failure. No matter what.
Treating yourself with kindness is harder than it sounds. But donât give up.
Youâre doing so well. Iâm so proud of you.*
*it may not seem like I can be, but seeing that someone needed to hear it and so they let me say it makes me so so proud. Itâs a bit of an oroboros but weâre ignoring that. <3
Honestly as a blind person Iâm so tired of seeing fictional blind characters who donât use white canes or other guides. âThey have special powers so they know whatâs around themâ or âtheyâre confident enough to not need a guideâ are common tropes, and Iâm tired.
Are people scared that using a white cane will make their blind character seem weak? They canât use a cane because theyâre so special that they already know whatâs around them, and other blind people who use guides are inferior because theyâre not special?
Iâm tired. Give your blind characters white canes and other guides. Let them hold onto their friends, let them have guide dogs. Donât make white cane users feel ostracized for not being âstrong enoughâ to go without.
Another thing that pisses me off is when a sighted character comes up with the fantasy equivalent of braille and teaches it to the blind character. Braille was invented by Louis Braille, a blind man, in 1824. The blind character should be the one coming up with it.
Tldr Iâm blind and tired of sighted people lol
đȘ Sighted People MUST Reblog This đȘ
