How To Write Deaf Characters - From A Real Deaf Person’s perspective

Forgot to tell y'all

But I've finished that dang thing!!!!

So I have thrown myself into a huge project, which is to make a plaid for my mother

This is the finished plaid from the creator and all the squares, half squares and quarter squares I have to do.

I've done all that so far, which corresponds to the four corners, all the big borders, half of the small borders and one baby square.

I'm doing it using yarn my mother wanted, which is a mix of cotton and merinos wool. There's 10 colours total but I'm not using the same as what is shown in the pattern.

Oh fuck me

So hummm

You the work skin isn't downloaded when you download the cork, which means that I have at least two works broken lmaoooo

I have no strength at the moment to look further into it, but I guess I'll have to make a secondary file or look how I can change the work skin to make it work??? idk

Something I most likely haven't talked about but would y'all to know if you're here for my fics, is that I have some rules about pronouns while I write.

First, no emoji or random words pronouns because it's confusing as hell and not readable

Second, for characters using several pronouns I only use one per paragraph and can switch between paragraphs.

Third, when one character uses several pronouns I tend to refer to them with one that isn't already used by someone else in the paragraph. Example: in a paragraph, one person uses she/her, another uses they/them, and then we have the character that uses whatever pronouns. So for that last character I'll most likely use he/him in order to make the reader understand more easily who does/says what.

You know, when you create a culture (or makes derivatives/dig further into other created cultures), it isn't cruel to dig into funerary practices.

You want to write a part where a member of the community dies and receives funerary practices ? Just because you want to expand further into the culture? Then go for it!

Death is a strong part of every single cultures. There are so many funerary rites, going from burials to incinerations.

So looking further into such an important part of life? That is perfectly normal to do and to want to do.

i dont think i posted these but here i made a little frog pattern to make tiny frog toys with my grandma

this is the first lil guy I made while still learning how i should sew it

The link is real, for anyone wondering, I checked the email again. However, I don't create much art and don't sell anything on redbubble so I just went and deleted my account (since, again, I'm overall not using it) and stated what I didn't in the update as the reason.

The link is this. So yeah if you're selling on Redbubble do fill it I guess.

Not 100% sure I'm reading this right but,

Understanding how the new account fee may apply to you

Redbubble Blog

We’re introducing new artist account tiers. Here’s why this will make Redbubble a better marketplace, and how the changes will apply to you.

The tiers are intended to encourage actions that are positive for the marketplace and recognise and reward artists who invest time creating and promoting unique products.

Hum... Great, so if you wanted to have a redbubble on the side to make some money then you're basically not welcome???

How accounts are reviewed and classified

And seriously I am in tears at that like wow. Basically, if you make enough money for Redbubble, the fee is removed. Basic tiers have to pay a fee, but premium and pro don't.

There's also the "opportunity to create licensed fan art" that bugs me because, there already was a list of things you could make fan art of depending on the list they have, but now you can't unless you have a premium or pro account? While (from what I've seen at least) most small artists make fan art and sell it because they know that there is a fanbase for it and that it will sell.

I do understand the copyright problem they face, sure. But the rest still is... not good.

Over the past few years the amount of new accounts and content has increased significantly on our marketplace. This has resulted in increased costs as we’ve needed greater investment in resources to operate the marketplace and support our artist community and your customers.

So yeah, increased costs that they will make the small artists pay for and subsequently make people think twice before coming on the plateform, or just leave it.

I don’t know if anyone has ever done this before but, here ya go… The Different Types of Fanfiction! 

I probably left a few out, but these are the most common, compared to their base fiction’s canon plot. Enjoy! XD

This Google Drive AI scraping bullshit actually makes me want to cry. My entire life is packed into Google Drive. All of my writing over the years, all of my academic documents, everything.

I’m just so overwhelmed with all the shit I’m going to have to move. I’m lucky to have Scrivener, but online data storage has been super important as I’ve had so many shitty computers, and the only reason I haven’t lost work is because Google Drive has been my backup storage unit.

My partner has recommended gitlab to move my files to - it seems useful, and I can try and explain more about what it is and how it works when I get more familiar with it. I’m unsure if it’s a text editor, or can work that way. He was explaining something about the version history that I don’t quite understand right now but might later. I’m just super overwhelmed and frustrated that this is the dystopia we live in right now.

This is the only tiktok you’ll ever need, I’ve made about 13 of these and I’m not stopping anytime soon
