psa for artists

make a redbubble. im serious make a redbubble. you can just upload your stuff on there and theyll make merch for you and give you a cut. you get money and the knowledge someone is wearing ur art on a tshirt. or other item. they have so many items. Even if youre not an artist they dont really give a shit if you use official art as long as no one reports it so if u have any design ideas u can make with editing official art or ur own art or just. cool text with colors. you can do that. make a redbubble im shaking you and crying Make a redbubble make a

[urfaveisunfuckable]

IM NOT SPONSERED but i have made 800+ designs w official spritework (which i put work into i didnt just upload the sprites on the site and call it a day) (but if you did upload the sprites on the site and call it a day its like. whatever) and have made literally. 1000+ bucks over a year. Just to be clear when i say official spritework i mean from shit like danganronpa not indie games. im sure you guys can draw the line urself

More redbubble tips

- QUANTITY. QUANTITY QUANTITY QUANTITY. the more u have the more ppl will buy the more ppl will buy the more exposure the more ppl will buy

- if ur design is tiled people are more likely to buy things like blankets and duvet covers which give u a decent amount of cash each. not like a shitton but enough for u to go Oh hell yeah. duvet covers are the most expensive item on the site and they give like. $20 minimum if someone buys one w ur design. and it does happen they Do buy them

- Put ur designs on EVERY product. theyre regularly adding new ones too. dont think to yourself "no one will ever buy this on this product" its an extra ten seconds Do it. Do it

- EVEN IF u have NO followers u can do numbers on redbubble

- upload products regularly!! i dont rly know how redbubbles system works but if u go forever without uploading ur sales will die down. im working on a new set of designs rn so i will update if my sales go back up

- i am begging yall....make a redbubble. u upload the designs and they do EVERYTHING else for u . its idle income

[urfaveisunfuckable]

Good Stuff (not by me)

Here’s the thing. Research is a learned skill; it is hard, it is nuanced and complex, and it is true that the majority of people would not even know where to begin or even HOW to do [their own] research.

Research is NOT: Googling, scrolling your FB newsfeed, or watching YouTube or 4Chan to search for the results you are hoping to find to be “true.” These are called confirmation biases, and are quickly and easily ruled out when doing actual research.

A post credited to Linda Gamble Spadaro, a licensed mental health counselor in Florida, sums this up quite well:

“Please stop saying you researched it.

You didn’t research anything and it is highly probable you don’t know how to do so.

Did you compile a literature review and write abstracts on each article? Or better yet, did you collect a random sample of sources and perform independent probability statistics on the reported results? No?

Did you at least take each article one by one and look into the source (that would be the author, publisher and funder), then critique the writing for logical fallacies, cognitive distortions and plain inaccuracies?

Did you ask yourself why this source might publish these particular results? Did you follow the trail of references and apply the same source of scrutiny to them?

No? Then you didn’t…research anything. You read or watched a video, most likely with little or no objectivity. You came across something in your algorithm manipulated feed, something that jived with your implicit biases and served your confirmation bias, and subconsciously applied your emotional filters and called it proof.”

This doesn’t even go into institutional review boards (IRB’s), also known as independent ethics committees, ethical review boards, or touch on peer-review, or meta-analyses.

To sum it up, a healthy dose of skepticism is/can be a good thing…as long as we are also applying it to those things we wish/think to be true, and not just those things we choose to be skeptical towards, or in denial of.

Most importantly, though, is to apply our best critical thinking skills to ensure we are doing our best to suss out the facts from the fiction, the myths, and outright BS in pseudoscience and politics.

Misinformation is being used as a tool of war and to undermine our public health, and it is up to each of us to fight against it.

Hey there everyone, I’m Pascal, a full time student and very suddenly completely bereft of all support in my my medical transition. I’m looking into my options & I can afford T for a little while, but I don’t have enough money to regularly see my endo or get labs done to start things off.

If anyone has some pocket change to chip towards being able to afford seeing my doctor, I’d really appreciate the help ✌️

the bait and switch way this is written literally made me laugh out loud

[dykecostanza-deactivated2024112]

biden: my new plan guarantees four additional years of free education

kids in high school: holy shit free college?!

biden: oh no two years of pre-school and then two years of college*

*only at select locations, restrictions apply

[annalisa-nicole]

Okay but pre-school is expensive as hell. Making it free will directly improve the lives of so many families.

[blackfemmejeanvaljean]

so is community college it will literally cut the cost of college in half or make it free for the people that choose one of the many careers you can get with a two year degree are y'all stupid or just dumb

[imgonnakillyourayromano123]

do ppl actually not realise how important affordable childcare is to working women???

[soozencreates-deactivated202110]

Hi, I'm a mum! Pre-pandemic, I was working over forty hours a week, and the entirety of my paycheck went to covering my kid's daycare cost. Daycare and pre school are expensive, so much so that a lot of people quite literally can't afford it, even when working full time.

Having two years of pre-k education covered is absolutely beyond helpful. Parents genuinely want to provide the very best for the kids and having early education covered can go a long way in allowing parents to do just that.

[ultranos]

Look, I don’t have kids and I am still buried under student loans from college. I absolutely believe free college is necessary.

However.

There is decades worth of evidence that pre-K education is one of the strongest ways of giving kids enduring advantages in K-12 education. A lot of the data comes specifically out of Oklahoma, which does have voluntary universal pre-K (which makes it an excellent case study) and the research shows gains across all racial and socio-economic boundaries. That paper is from 2005. Researchers revisited the kids later to see how persistent these gains were, or if they were drowned out by all the other stuff.

Turns out, the kids who were in pre-K continued to have academic success through middle school (they hadn’t tracked through high school). And just for fun, they also did some projected adult earnings for kids who went through pre-K, as fun benefit-cost analysis of the whole thing. And it looks like the benefits skew disproportionately in favor of the more disadvantaged students.

Community college is great and should be accessible to everybody. But universal pre-K will catch more kids early on to ensure they have a better shot at finishing high school. The evidence screams that it is one of the single most-effective measures in leveling the playing field for all kids, and reducing the generations of privilege baked into the system.
