Hey guys, I know there are a lot of really severe tragedies in the world right now and I in no way desire to push those aside, nor do I really want to load another thing onto people's plates, but anyone here in the US needs to be aware that on March 11, 2024, an agricultural company known as NEW Cooperative spilled 265,000 gallons (1500 tons) of liquid nitrogen into the East Nishnabotna River. This is the ecological equivalent of dropping a nuclear weapon into the river. Over a 60 mile stretch downstream of the spill its been a near total ecological wipeout for the river. So far, an estimate of 850,000 fish have been killed from this spill, and that's to say nothing for the insects, amphibians, reptiles and birds that relied on or lived in this river. It is literally filled with animal corpses. This river flows into the Missouri River and the impacts will likely continue to spread far past this 60 mile stretch. And this disaster has barely made local tv in Iowa, let alone national tv, despite the fact that 60 miles of river ecosystem were just wiped out in a way that may be impossible to recover from. And what's the punishment for this heinous act of destruction through negligence, you might ask? As it stands, its looking like a 6k fine from the DNR to the company. Not 600k. Not 60k. 6000 dollars. The maximum fine that the DNR can charge in Iowa is 10k unless they decide to take it further in court. That's why these spills are so frequent in Iowa: it's literally cheaper to eat the fines than it is to bother properly storing fertilizer. I don't know exactly what the proper course of action is here, or who needs to be contacted to enact change--I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable than me will chime in with that information--but at the very least, every one of us should know. Every one of us should make sure we don't forget this. And every one of us should blacklist NEW Cooperative fertilizer unilaterally.

People need to know that posting fic to Tumblr is way more work than posting it to Ao3. I'm working on creating a new Masterlist for an old fic I'm trying to finish. To make it reader friendly I'll be updating about 36 links, and that's just in case I have a few nice folks out there that want to read this fic. I'm doing all this knowing...very well, I may get no response and the fic will fall flat.
So when you see lists and are binging fic here, and clinking that little embedded link at the end of each chapter. On top of the hours of writing and editing, you have more hours spent on lovely banners, posters, moodboards and organization.
Creating for fandom is so fun, but there is never a guarantee people will join you in engaging with your creation...that is why creators just absolutely love any crumb of interaction, no matter how big or small. You can write us a whole 5 paragraphs or just give us a wink, we'll take anything.
So what I'm saying is...I must really really be in Love with Din Djarin...because this is nuts.
Yeah actually making tumblr navigable is a nightmare.
Posting a new chapter to AO3:
- Click "Add chapter"
- Fill in author's notes
- Copy/paste the fic itself
- Post
- Update tags if necessary
Posting a new chapter to Tumblr (before I switched to just an AO3 link)
- Copy/paste chapter intro/tags/warnings from another Tumblr post
- Update previous chapter link
- Tag chapter's betas
- Upload banner image
- Copy/paste the entire chapter*
- Upload divider line art where necessary*
- Upload end line art
- Author's notes
- Taglist
- Taglist link
- Tumblr tags
- Proof read
- Post
- Copy Tumblr post link
- Paste to fic Masterlist
- Edit previous chapter post to paste "read next chapter here" link at the bottom
That is all the work I do to essentially recreate AO3's reader UX on Tumblr. As someone that used to do web dev, I take a lot of pride in making the reading experience as seamless as possible to the point of creating a process for it. It's never just writing. Tumblr takes so much more effort to make it presentable.
*these are the only steps that now get replaced by an ao3 link, but I still have to do all the other ones
The people need to know.
The "How It's Made" of your fics you binge on Tumblr and then passively engage with.
This is why we ask folks to reblog...it's so much work!!!!
Please please reblog.

I have trouble taking care of my teeth because everything that involves doing that is a sensory nightmare. I decide to do some research to see if there's anything I can do about this. The results?
"How to make your autistic child brush their teeth"
"Autistic Children and Sensory issues relating to tooth brushing"
"How to get your little shit to brush his fucking teeth"
Like, yeah Google, thanks, that really helps. And like, even if I was a child, some of the advice seemed... unhelpful. Like, doing a dance and singing a song while brushing your teeth? Even for a kid, I don't think that would help distract from a sensory experience as intense as brushing your teeth. Like, the extremely intense and unpleasant flavor, the intense feeling of the brush against your teeth scraping across it, even mouthwash has such an intense and disgusting flavor that I have difficulty keeping it in my mouth for more than a few seconds. I wish there was SOMETHING that could be done.
I actually did research on how to keep your teeth clean if you don't have access to a toothbrush or toothpaste! I needed the info for a story, but thankfully it also has real world applications. Maybe something here will help:
- If the bristles are a sensory nightmare, try a soft cloth instead. Cloth was one of the methods used before toothbrushes were invented, although they used shit like burlap. Don't do burlap. Cotton or linen should do fine.
- You can also buy natural toothbrushes made with bamboo and boar hair. I've never tried them so I'm not sure how different they'd feel compared to synthetic bristles, but they're pretty cheap on Amazon if you want to give them a shot
- If even the "extra soft" bristles are too stiff, you could try soaking them overnight in some mouthwash to soften them further. This is what we did when I was growing up, and it worked like a charm. Bonus points that the alcohol in the mouthwash kills any germs stuck on the brush
- If the toothpaste flavor is horrendous, make a paste with baking soda and water, then flavor it however you want with a sugar-free extract. Heck, look for recipes to make your own toothpaste, and experiment until you get something you can stand to use.
- If the texture of the toothpaste is bad, the baking soda method might work better for you, or you could try scrubbing salt or activated charcoal on your teeth instead—that's what they used before toothpaste was invented. Personally, I'd recommend the baking soda or making your own toothpaste.
- Different brands often have different textures, and some even have different flavors (this is especially true of kids toothpastes, which work just as well for adults), so swapping brands might help, too. I can't stand Crest, it makes my mouth feel all filmy no matter how well I rinse, but Colgate doesn't leave a weird feeling in my mouth. Also Colgate is the only brand my grocery store carries that has cinnamon flavored toothpaste as an option, and I'm a whore for cinnamon
- You're probably using too much toothpaste anyway. Most people do. You really only need a dollop about the size of a pea. I smush it out across the bristles so I don't have to deal with a glob of it in one spot.
- Floss if you can. That's going to do more to stop your teeth from rotting than brushing will. Standard dental floss is obviously an option, but if you're like me and you can't stand putting your hands in your mouth, try disposable floss picks or investing in a water flosser. I still hate the feeling of the floss between my teeth, but it's manageable since I don't have my fingers in my mouth on top of it. Haven't tried the water flosser since the picks work well enough for me
- Try chewing sugarless gum, especially right after you've eaten. It's not perfect, but it'll help. Also it comes in a billion flavors so hopefully there's something you like in there
- If absolutely none of that is helpful, rinsing with water is still better than nothing. You can mix in salt to help kill bacteria if you can handle it, but bare minimum try to do a rinse and spit.
Obviously not all of that is from my pre-modern teeth cleaning research—some is from personal experience! But hopefully something in there is useful to you
It's absolute bullshit that we have to approach these problems sideways because the people actually making "helpful" articles about it are all ableist :| Maybe some day soon we as a society can get over that.
Oh my God you are my hero thank you so much

Years ago I found a random baggie of tiny googly eyes. So I put them around the house. I taped them to photos, the spines of books, appliances. Everything in our house was just gazing out like little Muppets.
And then I waited for my husband to notice.

Everybody stop what you’re doing and go watch this.
The guy spent 3 years doing a blend of stop motion, puppeteering and minimal cgi to make this 10 minute movie for free.
As an artist, I have mad respect for someone that dedicated!
