PSA BEFORE I GO TO BED

STOP DOOMSCROLLING, YALL

IT IS. BAD. VERY BAD. YOU GET STUCK AND IT'S ICKY AND YOUR BRAIN GETS STUCK IN ICKY THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS

INSTEAD

LIKE I JUST SAID IN THE TAGS OF A POST

MAKE SOMETHING! DO SOMETHING BESIDES LOOK AT CURRENT EVENTS.

This past summer when political stuff was happening, I was already having A Time and I just started knitting more and watching Ghibli movies for hours on end- and it really helped. It not only took my mind off of the state of the world, but I was able to step back and be proud of my progress on my little project.

A rabbi I just talked to told me about how whenever the community was Going Through It, she was always prescribing art- she ran out of canvases because she gave so many away.

And making things really does help!

You don't need to just make things- play a silly little game, pet an animal (dogs are soft. warm creechurs. beloved (<- has a dog)), listen to a silly little podcast or music, watch a cozy show or movie.

But don't doomscroll. You get stuck and it's so hard to pull away.

But if you ARE stuck, take this post as a sign to just. Close the app. Close the tab. Stop now so you don't get even more stuck. Use this post as a pole to pull yourself out of the mud, or have someone else help distract you and pull you away from doomscrolling.

Stay healthy and safe, yall 🤟🤟🤟

No fish posting today, witch posting instead.

Hyun-Jin is from He Who Hid The Storm and they're my babygirl, even if they are a straight up villain. You'll see a lot of them... like A LOT, I like them a lot :3

One massive, legitimate way to improve as a writer or artist or in any creative endeavor really, is to become absolutely obsessed with something and to allow yourself to be weird about it. Genuinely mean this btw.

Spin Cycle. Oil on canvas, 8 x 10"

Today's day 7 (officially a week!) of painting instead of going on social media! Today I drew my persona as a magical girl in the madoka magica universe. The design is still a wip... I used charcoal to outline my drawing today and I like it quite a lot...what do you guys think?

Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms 

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.  As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

⁂

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.

www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.

https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.

www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.

http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.

www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.

www.pdfdrive.com is the largest website for free download of books in PDF format. Claiming over 225 million names.

www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free

I fucking love these two -

Okay guys I can’t watch the spider man across the spider verse movie for another few weeks and it sucks bc I know it’s going to be AMAZING and I still can’t draw fanart. (I may or may not just be overly excited.) Oh and if any of you watched the movie, how was it?

@cubewatermelon here's some fanart for the webcomic Sleepless Domain! (please go read it) I absolutely fell in LOVE with Rue's design, and pretty on theme for Halloween. Also sorry for not updating, school's been pretty busy.
