if the fic already has a thousand comments, comment still. Your comment will still matter and delight the author.
if a fic is a decade old and the author hasn’t been active in the last five years, comment still. There will come a time when the author will read and cherish your comment, or maybe it will motivate them enough to start writing again. You never know!
if the author never responds to comments, comment still. Interaction with the author is a very nice bonus, but you can be sure that even if the author doesn’t answer, they will read it and enjoy it at some point
there’s no such thing as a too long comment.
there’s no such thing as a too incoherent comment.
the author will give no flying fuck about any gramatical errors, typo or other misspellings. If you’re a non-native speaker struggling to express themselves, you can be sure the author will be all the more pleased that you surmounted the language barrier to let them know you appreciated their work. Don’t be afraid!
there’s no such thing as commenting too often.
you will never, ever come across as creepy by obsessing over a fic or an author to the point where you worry the author might think you’re a stalker. On the contrary, the author will be delighted by your investment in their work.
say thank you. It’s always appreciated to see readers acknowledge the work and commitment that is put into writing.
the floaty review box (ao3 add-on) is your friend
be positive and encouraging. Positive reviews make writers all warm and glowy from the inside, bashing plunge their soul into icy darkness. You want the first, not the second!
whoever you are, if you read their fic, YOU are IMPORTANT to the author. Let them know you’re there!
(if any author wants to contradict one of those rules, please let me know!)
Many users are reporting massive data loss following the October 2018 Windows 10 update. Personal files are being deleted and hard drives are being corrupted in addition to several performance glitches. Users who have received the update are reporting all of their personal files such as documents, music, pictures, and videos being deleted following the update.
Some people have lost hundreds of gigabytes of data. These files are completely disappearing following the update – they do not wind up in the recycle bin, they are completely gone. Other users are reporting their entire hard drives or SSDs becoming corrupted, making rollback and recovery of said deleted files impossible.
In addition to the file deletion, devices with 6th generation Intel processors and newer are reporting awful battery life and CPU usage following the update.
Long story short, hold off on the October 2018 update for now. There are too many glitches and way too much to lose. If you attempt it,
This happened to me last year with a previous update. I lost all the digital art I ever made. I lost all the files of my 250+ page graphic novel… It was horrific, don’t let this happen to you too.
the wacom drivers also don’t work with this update yet, so if you make digital art regularly and use wacom tech you’re out of luck!
this is what we’re talking about when we say that transmisogynists are literally trying to get trans girls killed.
They locked a fucking child out of safety during their drill. During their drill, when no one was panicked, when they had time to develop a proper plan and work through whatever bullshit transphobic implicit bias they had. And they still made the call that she didn’t deserve safety. As part of the plan.
This is blatant, systemic transmisogyny. Fuck everyone who wants to hurt little girls just because they’re trans. Y’all are literal demons.
Simone Giertz, the self-proclaimed “Queen of Shitty Robots.” She intentionally engineers terrible robots just for fun.
everything this woman makes is goddamn fantastic
So I went to her YouTube channel cuz I was like “yo I want some more funny robot videos.
Turns out:
Her latest update on twitter just came out less than a day ago:
Hopefully, her recovery goes well.
On a lighter note, when she discussed the possibility of going blind in one eye as a result of the surgery she got a comment:
She’s recovering wonderfully and she is not blind and doesnt have any complications! And she rented a full workshop, she used to work literally on the other side of her tiny basically one or two room house but now she has a whole workshop! I’m so happy for her
