i think people get so used to their own creative work that they forget how amazing it is so i’m making this post as a reminder You are the only person capable of making art the exact way you make it. nobody else on earth can do that. there are always going to be those little habits and intricacies and details that simply cannot be replicated whether it’s in writing or painting or textiles and you make life all the better for it i love my friends’ art i love art from strangers im trying to love my own art I LOVE YOU!!! THE PERSON READING THIS!!!!!!! YOU ARE A PART OF THIS WORLD NEVER EVER STOP MAKING THINGS THAT CAN IMPACT IT

if youre in the US (especially the northeast + michigan) i would avoid bagged salads/greens and generally wash your produce very thoroughly unless you want the diarrhea parasite

[klapollo]

Outbreak of diarrhea-causing parasite grows to more than 1,000 cases

Michigan is experiencing its largest outbreak of a parasitic infection that causes severe diarrhea. Nearly 1,000 people have been diagnosed

this is not life-threatening, but also who wants weeks of diarrhea and a fucking parasite in them lol. if you suspect you've already had this and it's passed, i would see a doctor. you might need an antiparasitic anyway. if you're actively sick, see a doctor and they might be able to prescribe medication to help you get over it faster.

try to avoid eating raw vegetables, scrub fruit with a produce brush and rinse thoroughly with water. again, don't bother with premade greens or bagged salads. if you buy lettuce, remove the outer 2-3 layers of leaves.

there are UNVERIFIED rumors that the greens have been linked to a company that sources to taco bell. some locations have been actively pulling fresh ingredients like lettuce, avocado, and pico de gallo to mitigate the threat, so i would avoid any products from them just in case. considering how vast supply chains are, i'd be wary of any fast food greens in general for now.

further tips from an immunocompromised person obsessed with food safety:

- wash and then cook your vegetables. air fry, bake, sautee, deep fry, whatever to 165F

- if you really want a salad, get locally farmed veg from the farmers market and wash VERY thoroughly. if the farm has info about their labor practices, even better. workers' safety keeps us safe too

- you can blanch some greens too but this isn't as safe as cooking thoughly

- wash your hands thoroughly before & after prepping raw vegetables

- avoid cross contamination in your kitchen from raw vegetables. act like it's raw chicken

Pedestrian traffic lights

Ooooh, we have a bunch of really fancy pedestrian traffic lights in Germany! I need to share:

Starting off with the difference between formerly Eastern German traffic lights (upper images) and formerly Western German traffic lights (lower images):

The city of Erfurt had some additions, like an umbrella or a heart:

hello, I got this random idea that I thought you might find cool but I'm unfortunately very underconfident to send it with my name...ehh anyways, I'll stop beating around the bush

I was thinking about a whumper and whumpee, not a whumper turned whumpee or vice versa but maybe A is someone who is supposed to torture/interrogate people and every time they don't retrieve satisfactory amount of intel, they get hurt instead...and much much worse than what they do to their victims.

I was wondering what your take on such a situation is, no pressure

Have a lovely dayy

Whumper who is also a whumpee (from now on called whumperee), to their own even more vicious whumper? Whumperee who is trying so desperately to get the results, but whose performance is getting worse and worse because of the pain they're in from their 'punishments'? Whumperee who is starting to question if this is all worth it, and sympathize with the people they're supposed to be interrogating?

Whumperee who sets their own whumpee free. Whumperee who is relieved when Whumpee comes back with their team to raze Whumper's place to the ground. Whumperee who expected it to be over for them, and is even more terrified when Whumpee commands that they be taken to holding because Whumpee wants to "deal with this one personally".

Whumpee who doesn't know how they feel. Whumpee who hates Whumperee for what they did to them, but also was perceptive enough to catch on to the clues that all was not well. Whumpee who goes to Whumperee's cell to start an interrogation of their own....

...but was not expecting Whumperee to be kneeling, shirt off, prepared to take whatever punishment Whumpee decreed they deserved.

Watched a documentary about abuse and advice one guy said to give children was, "Tell them that if someone is hurting them, to tell someone - and don't just tell one person. Tell as many people as possible, and keep telling as many people as possible until the abuse stops." and i really liked that

Bc so many ppl focus on the idea of telling A Trusted Adult, but even a well-meaning individual can fuck up and let abuse fall through the cracks or not know what to do

Whereas if a child tells LOADS of adults AND other kids, there's far less opportunity for an abuser to do damage control

Consistently telling their story and spreading it around disempowers the abuser to control and coerce the flow of information, or to utilise gaps and weaknesses in systems of reporting or welfare to isolate the child

Just really good advice. Not suprised I don't hear it more often.

[flowercrowncrip]

This is really good advice and, in the UK at least, also applies to “adults at risk” as well. It’s what I did when I had problems with my social care provider that amounted to a safeguarding concern earlier this year.

If your school safeguarding lead, youth worker, scout leader, neighbour, doctors surgery, local citizens advice office etc. all make referrals and follow up on them to make sure they’ve been received and taken seriously then it’s more likely that it will be taken seriously and that action will happen.

I do think the ability to emoji-react is a net win for human communication. not only does it give you an outlet for 'I see and acknowledge this but don't have a verbal response' but it also adds a pleasing alethiometer element to things

my coworker announces that he's off to the dentist. someone reacts with a tooth emoji. is this a statement of dentist solidarity? a wish for my coworker to return with more (or fewer?) teeth than he set out with? simple word association? who can say

[sapphling]

i just think more people should know that rejecting monogamy is not a big to do or something you need to do mountains of research and planning for and not something you need to come out as doing or dedicate a portion of your identity to. i always say things like this and get people in my notes going "AAAGH but the SCHEDULING and COMMITMENT and i don't even KNOW if i'm REALLY poly" but the thing is that you can just choose not to cram your love for others and your understanding of others' love for you into pre-ordained restrictive boxes kind of at any time & very likely be happier for it. yes yes reblog joke about going and cheating on your partner after reading this, very funny you won one free internet etc

I've bumped into a fun new trend in deceptive mobile game awards where they list a whole bunch of awards, but instead of the awards just being made up, they're real awards that haven't happened yet, and there's a tiny piece of text clarifying that these are awards the game's developer expects it to win.

[prokopetz]

Like, there's absolutely no way that little disclaimer would hold water if they ever actually got slapped for false advertising, but you almost have to admire the nerve.

[prokopetz]

@kalinary replied:

Misread deceptive as detective and was wondering what sort of mobile games where being made these days

Mobile game with an associated ARG whose clues are encoded entirely in the made-up awards it claims to have won. All setting up fake websites for the nonexistent organisations handing out those awards and communicating the game's lore exclusively via blink-and-you'll-miss-it departures from real-world history on the "About Us" pages.
