    hey if you have some kind of chronic pain or chronic illness that results in chronic pain or even just a temporary injury or infection or a surgery coming up:

    consider coming up with a safe word for “I am about to start screaming in pain but this is still expected amounts of pain. do not come in or call an ambulance until otherwise noted” that you can quickly text people you live with. especially if you are likely to be in the bathroom when screaming.

    Reminders for the Anxious/Depressed Creatives

    • You’re more than what you make.
    • Your productivity does not determine your value.
    • It’s okay to do nothing sometimes.
    • Not everything you do has to result in a product.
    • Not everything you make has to be important, significant, or even good.
    • You can make things just for yourself.
    • You can keep secrets for yourself, whether it’s not posting some of your projects or not sharing your techniques.
    • You’re allowed to say no.
    • You’re allowed to rest.

    2023 Updates:

    • Inspiration doesn’t cure burnout. Rest cures burnout.
    • People will wait for you; take your time and come back when you are ready.
    • It’s okay to scrap projects that no longer excite you, even if other people like them.
    • It’s delightful and excellent to be openly proud of your work.
    • Afford yourself the same gentleness that you would afford another creative - negative self-talk is counterproductive and frankly cruel.
    • Self-indulgent creations are satisfying to others as well; don’t apologize for your own pleasure.
    • Actually, don’t apologize for your work at all.

    If you’re in an area that is suffering from wildfire polluted air, I just saw this on Twitter:

    As someone who lived through the 2020 Oregon wildfires (and other bad smoke condition years), in which in PDX we had air quality as bad as 516 on the air quality index here are some things I did to help myself when we couldn't get a air conditioner and didn't have central air—>  — Samantha Mash🌿 (@samanthamashart) June 7, 2023ALT
    Keep your doors and windows shut! Soak rags and towels and ring them out to make them damp and stuff them into any door gaps or drafty windows. You need to try to keep any smoke you can out and this will help filter that out as well as keeping ash from getting in  — Samantha Mash🌿 (@samanthamashart) June 7, 2023ALT
    Wear a mask if you go outside! A KN95 or N95 mask is best, but literally a cloth mask will do in this case because the goal is keeping out the ash and other particles. Do not go maskless, it will destroy your throat and harm your lungs  — Samantha Mash🌿 (@samanthamashart) June 7, 2023ALT
    This may sound weird, but try to cover up from the ash and smoke. Wear long sleeves, wear pants, wear hats, you don't want this on you and I'd advice showering or bathing when you come home. If you have glasses wear them! This stuff does get in your eyes and it hurts  — Samantha Mash🌿 (@samanthamashart) June 7, 2023ALT
    Fill your tub with water! This was key to when I didn't have an air filter, it was advised by some in our city at one point and they said it helps with the air it also can pull some of that bad stuff out of your indoor air. Use cool water. It did make our home feel better  — Samantha Mash🌿 (@samanthamashart) June 7, 2023ALT
    Drink a lot of water! It helps process toxins our of your body through your kidneys and keeps you hydrated. You will need all the help you can get to keep from getting a sore throat (which will happen no matter what), and this is very important to do  — Samantha Mash🌿 (@samanthamashart) June 7, 2023ALT
    Do not vacuum! It tosses up more ash and dust you do not want to breath right now. Wait until after the smokes clears to clean. If you must clean something use a damp rag or paper towel to keep the ash from flying around  — Samantha Mash🌿 (@samanthamashart) June 7, 2023ALT
    These seem simple but: -don't exercise -try not to smoke -don't exert yourself -keep lights off if you're hot and indoors and have no AC like I did  By the time smoke hit here there wasn't even enough supplies to make a makeshift air purifier. This stuff happens fast. Stay safe  — Samantha Mash🌿 (@samanthamashart) June 7, 2023ALT
    We lived with our bad air for around a week in PDX last time and it was awful. These all may be obvious, but I do hope something here helps someone! It is so jarring to have your skies turn orange and for the air to hurt to breath. Lay low, do as little as possible, it will pass  — Samantha Mash🌿 (@samanthamashart) June 7, 2023ALT
    The wildest thing after the smoke cleared here was how much soot was in our apartment, even with every window closed/locked, even with rags in the gaps in doors. Be ready to clean that out after the smoke clears, cause even airtight seeming spaces can let these fine particles in  — Samantha Mash🌿 (@samanthamashart) June 8, 2023ALT
    Again I hope this all helps, and if anyone who is smarter than me wants to add or notices an issue (I'd hate to spread misinformation) with anything I said feel free to post! I am not a particle expert, just a girl who lived through some of the worst air quality possible  — Samantha Mash🌿 (@samanthamashart) June 8, 2023ALT

    Bonus:

    I taped a HEPA filter to a box fan and that worked really really well. I just brought it with me to whatever room I was in and on the really rough days in that 2020 smoke out it was so nice  — The Mad Dog of Big Wet Smoochies (@CraneCulture) June 8, 2023ALT

    FanFiction.net is not gone.

    Right now it’s a victim of DNS (Domain Name Service) spoofing. This means that a malicious party is trying to steal traffic from FFn by purchasing a very similar domain.

    So if you want to read fanfiction and not see leaves, you have have to type out “www.fanfiction.net”.


    Please share so people stop panicking.

    You can only reblog this 12 times a year

    Make the most of that

    Every month I reblog this and every month I’m baffled that it’s already the 15th.

    I’m scheduling this for every month

    despite everything…..

    • Bras last longer if you let them air dry. Don’t put them in the dryer.
    • If you have a problem with frizzy hair, don’t dry your hair with a towel. It makes the frizzies worse. (I recently read an article that said to use a t-shirt? I brush mine out and let it air dry.)
    • Whites wash best in hot water. Everything else can be in cold - save on your electricity bill.
    • You can kill 99.9% of germs in a sponge by putting it in the dishwasher for a cycle or by microwaving it for 2 min (be sure to make the sponge damp before microwaving and to put a cup half full of water in with it and please DO NOT squeeze the sponge until it has cooled off)
    • Airing out your room/house and letting sunlight in every so often can decrease the number of household pests like silverfish and ants.
    • Black underwear is best during your period as stains are less likely to be visible.
    • To save money, put aside 10% of each paycheck into a savings account. It’ll add up.
    • Unless your hair has something on/in it (like grease or mud or something), using conditioner first can actually be the better choice. The conditioner holds in the good oils that help you hair look sleek and beautiful, which shampoo would otherwise wash away.
    • Speaking of shampoo - if you have long hair, washing just the bits that touch your scalp is generally enough. The rest of your hair gets cleaned with just the run off from your scalp.
    • If you put a tampon in and it’s uncomfortable/you can feel it, you didn’t do it quite right. A properly placed tampon is virtually unnoticeable by the wearer.
    • Apply deodorant/antiperspirant a couple hours in advance of when you need it. This gives the product the chance to block your sweat glands. Using deodorant just before going somewhere where you’ll sweat (this means walking outside for people in high humidity places) results in your sweat washing the deodorant off and starkly limiting its usefulness.
    • After running the dryer, use the dryer sheet from that load to brush out the lint catch - it gets everything off in a fraction of the time it’ll take you to get it clean with your bare hands. Paper towels also work well.
    • Wash your face everyday, or as often as possible. Forget which brand of cleanser is best. Just washing your face everyday will guarantee you clearer skin. And do you best not to pop pimples, as tempting as the urge may be.
    • Fold laundry asap after taking it from the dryer to avoid wrinkles. This may seem obvious for dress shirts and silly for things like t-shirts, but you’ll notice the difference even then once your shirts stop looking like unfolded paper balls.

    To all the kids whose parents couldn’t help you with this kind of stuff
