There's a post going around Tumblr about how if you're post-menopausal and have bleeding, you should get it checked by your doctor. I brought some minor bleeding I'd had up in a doctor visit earlier this year, prompted by that post, and this week, after a biopsy, I found out I have cancer. It's early stage and the survival odds at 5 years are 99%. I have an oncologist appointment and we may have caught it early enough that surgery alone will be sufficient treatment (no radiation/chemo).

So that post may have saved my life and it may have made my treatment a lot easier too.

If you get into menopause and then start bleeding again, really, get your reproductive innards checked out. The life you save may be your own.

Before the Forgers. Not every end is painful, and not every past is worth holding onto.

Thank you :)

Hey everyone, please consider buying the 2024 itch.io Palestinian Relief Bundle- it's 373 games, game-making assets, tabletop roleplaying games, zines, and comics for a minimum of just 8 USD! They have a goal of 100,000 USD, and as of the time I'm writing this post, they have 8 more days to reach it.

Link will be in the reblog!

Amazing news!! They reached their goal of 100,000 USD! There is now a second goal of 250,000 USD! Remember, this is 373 games, assets, and comics for a minimum of 8 USD- a bundle of items which would normally be ~1,667 USD! Let's reach that second goal as quickly as we reached the first goal!

Fantastic news!!! The 250,000 USD goal has been met, and there is now a third goal of 500,000 USD! The deadline has also been extended, and as of the time I'm writing this update, there is 13 more days to reach their newest goal!

The money raised so far has already been incredible. Let's maintain this energy and continue to provide support for the PCRF!

i just found out tumblr was storing over three GIGABYTES of cookies on my device without me knowing and that's why it's been running so fucking slow recently... incredible. anyways everyone go clear your fucking cookies. don't let this website run a goddamn video game's worth of disc space in the background for no good reason.

on firefox: settings → search "cookies" → scroll down → "manage cookies" → tumblr should be at the very top because of how much space it's taking → select it → clear cookies → save changes. done

i've had a problem for a week or two where tumblr would just hang for like 20 seconds on load and profiles looked like it was reading a database. went and checked. 2.4GB of cookies. you are correct. good job. holy shit what is wrong with this website.

Bruh.

anyway, ignoring the kaishin drama. so funny to me Toichi and Yusaku being siblings. twins at that. like, imagine you're doing a heist and suddenly your twin brother who is not even a detective he's a writer is there trying to catch you looking all smug. and then he goes and calls you a child on the news. 10/10

Working on some httyd books stuff

Some sketchbook pages, both painted in a Hahnemühle watercolor sketchbook, (not an ad, I just like it) which I highly recommend! Both are graphite, colored pencil and watercolor/gouache.

People don't bother mentioning the things they take for granted

If you were asked to describe your street you would probably describe how long and wide it is and if it's winding or straight or at an incline. You won't describe that it's made of an asphalt road with a sidewalk on either side made of stone bricks because almost every street is like that.

You'd describe the kinds of buildings are in your street but you won't describe what each kind is. You'd assume your readers know what a condo or office or skyscraper is.

Now imagine a historian 2000 years in the future has to read your description and try to work out what a 21st century street was like from it.

This is what ancient history is.

Shin-igami

I used this dress

I love that dress, it makes me think of a modern Shinigami, so I wanted to doodle Shinichi with it
