Okay but I get this. All of you worms who have things blocked on your wifi or whatever and have IbisPaint this is how you do it

Open IbisPaint go to a canvas (any canvas, or make. a new one)

Select the font tool (if you don’t know what or where that is, press the tool icon (normally a paint brush or eraser) and press the T button

From there you should be able to create a text box (writing is not important…). Find the font button and add a new font. I can’t remember what it’s called but you’ll know when you see it

It’ll automatically search for you “free fonts.” Do not follow this. Your app is misdirecting you. Instead search up whatever it is you’re looking for in the search bar, and that should work

Knowledge should not be trapped behind bars, bend and break them until you can grasp it

Me, tears streaming down my face, sobbing, as I stare at the stars: it’s just so beautiful

The medieval peasant I went back in time to give a bag of Doritos to, concerned: what terrible and powerful sorcerers they must have in your age, to be able to veil the vault of heaven itself from view, as you say

Me, sniffling: I didn’t realize, I can’t, it’s so much, I, I… are the chips good, at least?

Medieval peasant, trying to make me feel better: they’re… magical, strange traveler

10 files

Right, I have been meaning to do this for a while... voila, here is a folder in which you can download:

* Every IDW1 mainline comic in their original trade editions (mostly; see below)

* Alternatively, one zip file that contains everything, for ease! You may need a MEGA account for this due to size- it's free.

Some specifics:

* These are in .cbz format. To read .cbz files, you need to download a comic viewer program that works on your device, there's tons. Best way to read comics digitally by far.

* The way these are collected reflects the Humble Bundle they did of a collection of the entire continuity ahead of the IDW2 relaunch. What this means is that everything here is presented in its standard collected edition, as digital trade paperbacks, *until* the very end; when the HB came out, the last couple trades had not yet been released. These comics (e.g. Unicron, the very end of LL) are therefore individual issues.

* I have also added in the Last Stand of the Wrecker deluxe edition extras and the Dark Cybertron deluxe edition extras. Because I love you all.

Over the years getting ahold of these comics has gotten more and more scattershot, and the main remaining direct downloads either don't have easy bulk download options or have them in the 'IDW Collection' format, which is very unhelpful IMO reading order wise, since it mixes the different series together... nor do they usually collect the trade versions where the extras are found. Most public torrents also seem quite inactive and are the individual issues. I put all these on MEGA for my own use, and I thought I may as well share!

Free yourself of the pain of using those 'read comics online' sites that bombard you with ads. Please. I'm begging you do it for me. It's so much better this way.

Ahhh, thank you for bringing it to my attention!! I have no idea what happened there- they're on my downloaded files list I used, so somehow they seem to have been skipped. Weird.

I have now updated both the individual downloads and the .zip file to include the following missing parts of IDW1:

MTMTE vol 1

MTMTE vol 9

Combiner Hunters (single issue- turns out it wasn't in the collected Windblade I have! THANKS IDW.)

If you downloaded the .zip, you're missing those, so go and download them if you need them folks! As I say I have uploaded the individual files as well as updating the .zip so you can just nab any you missed.

Again, thanks for the heads up!!

Treat anything on Discord as media that will be lost

Do not use Discord to host your files. Do not rely on Discord to preserve your text. DO NOT RELY ON DISCORD FOR ANY KIND OF PRESERVATION OR HOSTING!!

It CAN be lost, it WILL be lost! You must consider Discord as a part of the Core Internet, controlled by one company that hosts the servers.

I thought it was impressive at first that it replaced IRC, but now I am horrified. If the company behind Discord went under today, how many friends would you lose?

How many relationships? How much writing?

You may think this won't happen, but I remember when AIM went down and along with it, entire novels worth of interaction with my oldest friend.

IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU. IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. NO COMPANY IS INFALLIBLE.

Back up your files! Download anything you've saved to Discord NOW, before the API changes go into effect! And DO NOT RELY ON THEM FOR HOLDING IMPORTANT FILES!

[bright-eyed-sunshine]

Here is a program that lets you download any and all of your discord DMs, your servers, everything. You can set the format (raw text, html (dark and light), and others. You can even download the uploaded files not just the text, though that may be just for the command-line version not the GUI window version.

GitHub - Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter: Exports Discord chat logs to a file

Exports Discord chat logs to a file. Contribute to Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter development by creating an account on GitHub.

Please back up your conversations, your stories. I have a backup of everything I care about that runs once a week, with full attachment backups every several months. I write stories on discord, and would be devastated if someone happened to them. You have to have your own local copies of every file you care about.

yeah actually we removed the big bad wolf from the little red riding hood story because portraying violence against minors is really messed up. yeah. yeah also the wolf narrative was really predatory and had had some icky grooming vibes and a fable meant for literal children shouldn’t have implied p*do shit and grape so now little red riding hood goes into the woods and nothing happens and she goes to grandma’s house. don’t worry our kids will still stick to the path and know not to follow to wolves implicitly because we told them to and children should always do as their told. just like little red riding hood does now.

something i think exRiD/OP does that MTMTE never quite manages with its neutral characters is how Aileron especially has just. complete culture shock at how the cybertronian characters all act Fucking Ridiculous after four million years of war. she's like "oh. oh my god. you are all so completely fucked up. what the hell are you all doing" like aileron is out here surrounded by people who have guns built into every limb and who think every single interpersonal disagreement needs to be resolved with a planet-threatening catastrophe going. WHY. she is from a small backwater and wants to talk theology a bit or whatever. what the actual fuck. and it's funny bc she's NOT an audience surrogate, she's the one reminding the audience that they aren't Just Like That, it's DEFINITELY bc cybertronians specifically are culturally all weird on account of the Forever War shit.

[decepti-thots]

this is also why i love her and arcee actually, because it's part if what makes her relationship to arcee so important: she does not see Arcee as Just Like That, someone whose painful history with violence is a natural, unavoidable fact of life. aileron doesn't go 'well that's just what you are, no helping it' the way other characters implicitly do. she understands that arcee can absolutely be different if she wants to be- and arcee so badly wants to be, surrounded by people unable to think of her as someone who could be anything different. anyway aileron/arcee is so good did you know

I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

[nudityandnerdery]

Thanks to whoever tried, but I knew they'd never allow it.

[library-graffiti]

Let's do it the old fashioned way. Spread it far and wide.

[victusinveritas]

Reminder: you can't be the whole wall against stopping fascism by yourself. Nobody can. But you damn sure can be a brick.

[nudityandnerdery]

There's a lot of good comments and tags in the notes, but this one is very important, I feel like it deserves some emphasis.

Part of how authoritarianism works is telling you that you can't stop it. And you can't stop it by yourself. But it wants to stop the train of thought there and let you fall into despair.

You need to remember the next part: you don't have to stop it by yourself.

You're not alone. Take care of your community and let your community take care of you. Supporting each other is so vital.

Hey, oomfies! This Eid, let’s spread some more love to Gaza. Grassroots orgs there are doing incredible work despite the many limitations...getting food, meds, and shelter to families who’ve lost everything. Even a few bucks can make a real difference. Donate the cost of a coffee!

Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now?

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.
