what do you wanna bet that like in a year from now when they’ve fully either canceled or removed every change made for overwatch 2 they just make a big thing out of making a big update going back to calling it just Overwatch. and it’s a whole thing, nostalgia bait and all, complete return to form. i don’t think that’s even that out there honestly

Hey, if anyone’s curious, this IS making a serious impact — this handbook was taught as standard practice for my EMT license course, as well as several other programs. A lot of new providers are being taught this as a matter of course.

Writing advice from my uni teachers:

If your dialog feels flat, rewrite the scene pretending the characters cannot at any cost say exactly what they mean. No one says “I’m mad” but they can say it in 100 other ways.

Wrote a chapter but you dislike it? Rewrite it again from memory. That way you’re only remembering the main parts and can fill in extra details. My teacher who was a playwright literally writes every single script twice because of this.

Don’t overuse metaphors, or they lose their potency. Limit yourself.

Before you write your novel, write a page of anything from your characters POV so you can get their voice right. Do this for every main character introduced.

This is legit good writing advice, especially the first bullet point! In playwriting class we did a bit where every bit of dialogue had to be an accusatory question and it was glorious.

I had the absolute honor of creating these special illustrations for Alex Rochon!

For his very own D&D one-shot, I designed every single character from the show — reimagined in fabulous, fantasy-inspired outfits!

Alex gave me wonderful descriptions and references for his vision, and together we brought these chaotic, lovable characters into a whole new world.

The DnD stream was hilarious, heartfelt, and so full of personality — and seeing the cast bring the designs to life was such a surreal moment!

Right after the stream, fans started drawing fanart of my designs!!

I’m honestly so proud and beyond grateful that something I created inspired others to create too.

Thank you again to Alex and the cast for trusting me with this magical project — and to everyone who’s shared love for the designs, you’ve made my artist heart so full 💕

(Also: everyone who draws fanart of my designs is now legally required to tag me in their posts. I don’t make the rules 😌)

ok r y'all happy i went to my gmail and typed in 'is:unread older_than:100d' and mass deleted everything in that category and it deleted (literally) 65,000 emails.

[wizardarchetypes]

is:unread older_than:30d

now everyone leave me alone

[wizardarchetypes]

I got you!

DISCLAIMER: I figured out how to do this reading ancient forums, so if something goes terribly wrong, heed that warning.

Type the command into the regular email searchbar. I actually had so many emails, Gmail wasn't willing to mass-delete so many, so i actually started at 1800 days and moved down a couple hundred each time LOL. Anyway in this example I did '10' days because I'm almost out of emails.

Click the select box, which will only select the emails displayed on the first page of your search.

So click 'select all conversations that match this search.'

It'll tell you 'All conversations are selected.'

Hit that garbage can.

It'll ask if you're sure. Click 'ok.'

Assuming there's a lot of emails, they won't all delete at once, and you'll get this prompt:

Don't close the tab or go back to your inbox, or this won't happen. Open a new tab and do something else for a few minutes. After a couple (or 10) minutes, the emails will all move to your trash, and the page will be clear:

[wizardarchetypes]

And don't forget to empty your trash!

There are only around 1,500 native Cherokee speakers left, and most of them are elders

Little Cherokee Seeds is a program where mothers and babies spend all day with first language Cherokee speakers, speaking nothing but Cherokee, so that the babies become a new generation of native speakers. They're also teaching traditional skills and mothering practices to the mothers to pass on.

This is so so important for the survival of the language. These babies are on track to being fluent first language speakers, and they will be able to keep the language going for another lifetime.

I recommend checking out the little cherokee seeds facebook page!!

Little Cherokee Seeds is fundraising for a new program for the children ages 3 - 6 to continue their journeys as first language Cherokee speakers!
