When I was a kid, my dad hated when I hung up anything on my walls. My art, band posters, movie posters, anything. Not with taxks, not with tape (it “ripped the paint off”) not with anything. At one point in 5th or 6th grade he came in my room and found me hanging up a Diary of a Wimpy Kid poster with tacos and he was like “EVERY HOLE YOU PUT IN THE WALL TAKES $10 OFF THE VALUE OF THE HOUSE.” so when I was mad at him, I’d insert tacks into the wall in places he couldn’t easily see just out of spite. Whoever owns the house now is probably wondering about it.

Tumblr added a bunch of tracking shit to share urls, so now ill teach you how to get rid of them

if you copy a url by sharing on the website, the link will look like this

getting rid of tracking in these is easy, just delete everything after the question mark and you are golden

in the case for the app, its slightly more complicated

first you have to delete at. that appears before tumblr(.)com the other tracking shit on this one has a lot more info, so please, clean app urls. after the first set of numbers, there's a / you have to delete everything after it

a clean Tumblr url should look like this

blog safely

What do you all study when you're doing art studies??

Hi. I don't know if this is out of line or anything and if you're uncomfortable with answering this ask then you should totally ignore me and all that but I was wondering if (seeing as you are hoh) you maybe had any advice or anything like that for writing a hoh character? (In general, but especially any knowledge about hearing aids would be greatly appreciated)

Sorry to bother

ok so im not sure what information i can give you on being hoh that you probably haven't already heard, BUT with hearing aids i can absolutely give you a couple tips!

when you first put them in in the morning, assuming you have hearing at all, there's a slight echo. that's your brain registering sounds through the hearing aids and through your normal ears. it fades after a few minutes but i've never seen that mentioned ever and i think it could be pretty cool to bring up in a story

hearing aids are not water proof. idk why you might need to know that but there you go

OH. when the wind hits your hearing aids it makes a goddawful sound like someone blowing into earbuds mics. even a slight breeze can do that and it's awful

idk if this is common but my hearing aids have a startup jingle so when you turn them on or take them out of the charging station they do a little ditty. i can try to upload a video later if you're curious

um. if you're writing the character really early on, having just gotten hearing aids, everyone talks about the wonder and awe that comes from hearing rain, birds, cats purring, whatever, but i haven't seen anyone mention the blisters you get in your ears? the little bastards aren't very comfortable, even if they are cool.

also the plastic little sports guard thing that helps keep the aids in your ears can chafe.

if your character has a mask or glasses, those are pretty tough to wear with hearing aids. my glasses keep nudging my aids off the top of my ears and making them fall out

last thing isn't a hearing aids thing, but it is a hoh thing- please don't feel like you have to make your character speak sign language. i only know the very very basics of asl, and as much as i appreciate people trying to learn it to talk to me, i really wish that wasn't viewed as a mandatory part of being hoh/deaf

People will tell you all sorts of nonsense about how to set your TV up to run off a computer instead of the tvs software. Here's what has worked for me over and over.

Disconnect your TV from the internet so it can't update/pull in ads

Get a computer with at least 4 gigabytes of ram and 32 gigabytes of disk space (thin clients are great for this), if you already have one even better!

Connect it via Ethernet if possible

Connect it to your tv, if your computer is older you may need a visual adapter, these are widely available but I recommend buying off ebay because that's the cheapest place ive found and the quality is almost always good

Install VLC

Install Firefox with ublock origin at least for ad blocking

Now you can watch off yt, twitch, whatever other sketchy sites for free content

If you want to torrent public domain media download qbittorrent

If your ISP is weird about it you can set qbittorrent to use a vpns network connection in the advanced configuration section of settings (mullvad is recommended for this but ymmv)

You can watch your public domain media with vlc now

“Because distillation removes protein if good manufacturing practices are followed, and because it is possible to verify the absence of protein or protein fragments in these products using scientifically valid analytical methods, TTB will permit “gluten-free” claims on distilled products from gluten-containing grains as long as good manufacturing practices are followed to prevent the introduction of any gluten-containing material into the final product,” according to the TTB.

hey jsyk while hellofresh is dummy expensive and i wouldn’t reccomend it if you already know how to cook (if you’re a beginner like i was when i had it for 3 months, then it’s worth it), you should know that ALL OF THEIR RECIPES are free on their website and they all fuck hard

i will say that all the cooking instructions for veggies are pretty much the same (season with salt + pepper and roast on the top oven rack at 425F), but if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

that being said, it also introduced me to methods i wasn’t at all expecting. i would have never thought to use cream cheese in my meat sauce, and now all my friends are constantly asking me to make my special rigatoni.

happy cheffin! :)

College help post!

hi. i haven’t seen any of these floating around in a while so I thought i’d make one and try to help people. ‘cause there was a whole lot I didn’t know and it almost completely fucked me up! this is specifically for freshmen, since i’m only a sophomore. I’m gonna put generally important stuff at the top, and then go into more detail under a read more. ok, so here’s some advice from a very poor, white history major (and the two years experience my brother had before he dropped out) This isn’t perfect or all-inclusive, but it’s something

-College isn’t for everyone. don’t feel pressured to go if you don’t want to. there’s other options! i hate college 

-don’t feel pressured to go to a big name school. sure, the clout might be nice but a college degree is a college degree

-i operate under the assumption that if a school wants me to pay to send in an application, then they’re not worth my time

-if you receive any sort of financial aid for going to high school (like free/reduced lunches) then you may be eligible to take the SAT and ACT for free! please ask your guidance counselor about this, it definitely saved me. also i think they can send college applications for free? i didn’t do that so i don’t remember

-do your fafsa as soon as possible. it opens October 1st, and the sooner you do it, the more money you’re likely to get –what’s fafsa? student financial aid from the government. Includes grants (which you don’t have to pay back) and loans (which you do pay back, but cheaper than other loan people)

-keep an eye on your bill. it’s sneaky and new charges might appear as the year gets closer to starting. also! while registering, keep an eye out for fees that don’t appear on your bill

-check your damn email everyday. better yet, sync notifications of new emails to your phone

-start using a schedule planner. even if you’ve never used one and think you’ll be fine, start using one. they have free apps! 

-Know where the counseling office is. Know how to contact them. Every school is required to have them, and they’re free. they Will help you. Become friends with them, even
