my heart is racing out of my chest, I was on it trying to add things to my queue but I feel like I’m going to pass out,
There is gore of car crashes, dead people, dead babies, and maggot infested wounds
Stay out of the tags. blacklivesmatter, feminism, steven universe
I didn’t see all of them I closed my browser very quickly.
guys please please please dont look up any of these theres stuff in the doctor who and homestuck and one direction tags as well and its really REALLY bad
I just double checked all of the tags above (on 9/30/2015 so we all know when this is) and yeah, there’s a bunch of gore and porn. Apparently people from reddit are very angry and have nothing better to do than spam these tags, so if any of the above is even remotely triggering to you, best to avoid those tags for a while.
For years, most victims of revenge porn — people who have had their nude photos shared online without permission — basically couldn’t do anything about it.
According to one study, over 50% of all adults engage in sexting, and 70% admit to having received a nude photo online or over the phone.
And yet, despite the fact that we all (or at least more than half of us) do it, there’s still this weird, persistent, harmful notion that if your naked pictures get leaked or shared maliciously by an ex online, it’s your fault for taking them in the first place.
It’s completely backward, but sadly, the law seems to at least kind of agree.
As of September 2014, New Republic found, putting someone else’s illicit photos online without their consent was illegal injust 16 states, though laws have been proposed in more states. Not only is it typically impossible to prosecute the perpetrator, they note, it’s impossible to legally compel websites to take the images taken down most of the time.
1. All-or-nothing thinking: Looking at things in black-or-white categories, with no middle ground (“If I fall short of perfection, I’m a total failure.”)
2. Overgeneralization: Generalizing from a single negative experience, expecting it to hold true forever (“I didn’t get hired for the job. I’ll never get any job.”)
3. The mental filter: Focusing on the negatives while filtering out all the positives. Noticing the one thing that went wrong, rather than all the things that went right.
4. Diminishing the positive: Coming up with reasons why positive events don’t count (“I did well on the presentation, but that was just dumb luck.”)
5. Jumping to conclusions: Making negative interpretations without actual evidence. You act like a mind reader (“I can tell she secretly hates me.”) or a fortune teller (“I just know something terrible is going to happen.”)
6. Catastrophizing: Expecting the worst-case scenario to happen (“The pilot said we’re in for some turbulence. The plane’s going to crash!”)
7. Emotional reasoning: Believing that the way you feel reflects reality (“I feel frightened right now. That must mean I’m in real physical danger.”)
8. ‘Shoulds’ and ‘should-nots’: Holding yourself to a strict list of what you should and shouldn’t do and beating yourself up if you break any of the rule
9. Labeling: Labeling yourself based on mistakes and perceived shortcomings (“I’m a failure; an idiot; a loser.”)
10. Personalization: Assuming responsibility for things that are outside your control (“It’s my fault my son got in an accident. I should have warned him to drive carefully in the rain.”)
We’re still alive, we promise! We are working diligently on chapter three for you guys; this chapter is extremely involved (sooooo many characters and dialogue cuts!), and Ricky had major surgery that prevented them from doing much of anything (having one’s mouth swell up to twice the normal size isn’t very conducive to talking, much less recording narration). Things are picking up though, and we’ve got the chapter cobbled together in full.
We adore each and every one of you, and we are so, so grateful that you’re sticking with us.
Love,
Ricky and Heuristic
LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH, TAKE CARE OF SELVES, PLS DO NOT STRESS AND ALSO MAY THERE BE WONDROUS WONDROUS FOODSTUFFS THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY. (recover and rest, k ricky? *hugs*)
I intimated that I expected Chapter 2 to be up within a week’s time. Sadly (partly due to circumstances out of my control, and partially through my own arrogance) I underestimated how long this chapter would take to produce. So this is just a quick note to tell all you lovelies that you must sadly wait a little longer and that this is largely a product of us ironing out the production process. Please be patient, and we are taking steps to make sure that Chapter 3 will come out shortly after Chapter 2.
tl;dr: We are still alive and working on producing the chapter. But no, Heuristic Device was wrong in thinking Chapter 2 would be out this week. Thanks for being so patient.

Ramadaan is coming in a few short weeks, and if you’re non-Muslim you can help your Muslim followers by tagging:
-profanity
-nudity
-sexual content of any kind (gifs/text/pictures etc.)
-food (some people like it tagged, others don’t care)
-other specifics that your Muslim followers ask you to tag
I’ve seen “NSFR” or not safe for ramadaan used so that’s probably a good way to get everything without using 30 different tags. thank u!!!
First I’m calling anyone who has extensive knowledge of brass instruments to be in charge of that section, so to speak. punsbulletsandpointythings will be the head of percussion, the-dragongirl has come aboard to handle all things strings, and I will be working with the winds.
Which leaves the brass section open, if you wish to be head of that section simply send an ask. You’ll be handling the informal auditions (which I will explain below) and a few other things.
Second, this is a message for all you violas players out there, we need you! From my rough list, I’ve found no one who plays the viola and we’re definitely going to need violas in our pool of instruments.
Third, I will be sending out messages to confirm if I received messages from you about what instrument you play and how to contact you (if you’d rather some other way of communication than tumblr, just say so!). If you don’t receive a message and have previously contacted then my tumblr most likely ate it when i was having a lot of problems. I kindly ask that if this is the case, send a message to this page and I will confirm you.
Fourth, the informal audition process I mentioned above will only be to determine your skill level AND your recording quality. This is not going to be an exclusive thing, there will be a pool of instruments we pull from for certain songs based on the input from the original composers. Also I know there are others like myself who enjoy parts that are simpler due to anxiety or many other reasons, so this is by no means saying we won’t be giving everyone a part at some point or another.
Please spread this info around, once we have someone for the brass section all of the other things can be done! Thank you guys for your patience and interest in this crazy idea.

TUGGER YOU ARE A STAR.
Musos, here we go! Viola players, where art thou? Is there anyone out there brassy enough to handle it (no throwing of rotten fruit pls and thank)?
Hey followers, there’s a scam going around in Melbourne/Australia where someone calls pretending to be from the Australian Tax Office telling you’ve been audited and there’s a warrant out for you arrest for tax evasion. You’ll have to deal with it in court and have a criminal record for the rest of your days. OR you can settle the matter out of court by giving them a very specific, itemised amount of money that added up to approximately 6k, TODAY OR GO TO JAIL.
It was extremely organised and official sounding; I asked for verification and was passed through several people, as well as receiving a phone call that appeared on my caller ID as the Tax Office toll free number.
Alarm bells began to ring when they needed me to physically get the cash, without hanging up the phone on threat of the arrest warrant going out, and then they would tell me what ATO account to deposit it in. They kept threatening that the criminal record would ruin my life, my credit rating, they’d tell my employers, repossess my car/house, and I was extremely scared.
Thank goodness I accidentally hung up on him (after I’d gotten 5k out of my bank account) and then got back to the ATO proper and they assured me it was bogus.
Now, I’m relatively bureaucracy literate, and English is my first language. This scam was terrifyingly well organised. When I threatened to go to the police I got another call from a fake cop; it would be really easy for this scam to work.
Apparently they’ve been talking about it on the radio but I don’t listen to much mainstream media; Australian followers please share to get word around.
so through all of yesterday/today’s craziness (Idk it’s 5:30 here and I still haven’t gone to bed, whoops), I made a bit of progress.
I’m still working on the two blog thing and finding it harder than expected. also, my tumblr is still being ridiculous so that’s been difficult to deal with.
now that the lovely Dets has made the ‘Iron Hills For Me’ public, punsbulletsandpointythings and I are going to ideally see how many instruments would be best and if the song can be written for different instruments with first and second parts and so forth.
hopefully this made sense, if it didn’t, I’ll edit it when I get up in a few hours and apologize for the confusion I may or may not cause
We’ve uploaded the first chapter of the podfic to A03 and the Audiofic Archive. You may find the links in the “Links” tab of the blog. Tell your friends. 🙂
