Hello!

[Hello!]

Attention ALL artists!

[sheodraws]

You sure have seen this post. It has spread like wildfire over the past few days so I doubt there is any artist out there who hasn’t seen it. But even if you didn’t, you should read on because I’m about to tell you a handy little thing that can help you to protect your art from such assholes as the anon who submitted this bullcrap, as well as art thieves in general.

The magic word is Metadata.

Metadata is like an invisible signature that is embeded into a file. It can contain all kinds of information, like Title, date, keywords for online seach engines, and copyright information. And the best thing is, since this information is “hidden” in the code of your picture, it’s hard to remove it.

There is a nice basic tutorial on how to add Metadata, or “additional file information” to your images in photoshop. It’s really, really easy so check it out!

“Adding Your Contact And Copyright Info To Your Photos With Photoshop” on PhotoshopEssentials.com

I’m not sure if you can do the same with any other art program. If you know how to do this in other programs / can confirm that it works the same way there, please tell me so I can add the information to this post.

Adding the Metadata will not stop idiots from taking and reposting your art. It also won’t make them stop editing out your signature. It WILL however, help you prove that you are the original artist whenever you have to.
Always remember my friends. You, the artist, are protected by law. No one has the right to take your intellectual property and hard work and repost, use or edit it without your permission. Ever.

art thief: well how can you prove its yours??

me: /opens metadata

[swevenfox]

I spread the word as it is important to all artist who ever suffered from art thieving or so.

[miss-lillipants]

You guys, metadata is super important, you guys. In an everday and legal sense. People legitimately look at and rely on metadata to know the basic, but important bits of information about a digital product (paintings, photographs, exe files, etc.), ESPECIALLY the source.

Don’t underestimate it!

REBLOG IF YOU THINK WE SHOULD NORMALIZE WEARING SURGICAL MASKS FOR SEASONAL ALLERGIES.

I’m in Japan, and having the time of my life viewing flowers without feeling like I’m dying from the pollen (until the mask is off for me to eat). Everybody here wears masks for being sick, avoiding illness, or for allergies, and it’s honestly a great to have the choice without judgement. If you can stand the judgement, start wearing masks (it really helps in avoiding getting sick, too). If not, just reblog.

Please, let’s normalize wearing masks everywhere. Let’s stop making people with hayfever or compromised immune systems suffer!

Schizophrenic people are 14 times more likely to be victims of a violent crime than commit one.

“(Schizophrenic) Individuals in this sample were at least 14 times more likely to be victims of a violent crime than to be arrested for one. In general, the risk associated with being in the community was higher than the risk these individuals posed to the community”

This means that neurotypicals are a much bigger threat to schizophrenic people than schizophrenic people are to neurotypicals.

You can now shove all your “psycho killer” stereotypes up your ass.

[sweetschizo]

I’d really appreciate if non schizophrenic people reblogged this cause the misconception that schizophrenic people are dangerous is so widespread and I really want people to see this post so that they won’t react with fear and apprehension when they meet a schizophrenic person.

Asian wlw and mlm are amazing and deserve everything good in the world

[bbreaddog]

hi I made this post bc I have never seen a post supporting Asian lgbt folks and know a fence but supporting your local gays means supporting us too, especially when we aren’t as visible as others.

I’ve grown up living in a predominantly straight white world and consumed mostly western media all my life and idk bout you but there’s not a lot of us out there in the media or the entire entertainment industry actually. Asians in western media is already cutting it fine. Asian lgbt folks in the media? there’s like 3 people I can think of off the top of my head.

anyway I’m getting carried away here so. All I’m asking is for u to pls reblog this. give love to ur local Asian gay bc we don’t get enough

the best joke scp is the one where the scp itself is just typical mediocre normal scp fare (dark matter bracelet that kills people) but the joke is that the scientists behave like scp community members instead of actual scientists

West Virginia teachers just shut down the ENTIRE STATES SCHOOLS.

They went on strike.

They worked with churches, community centers, and food banks to make sure that students who rely on school to be a safe place or for a meal will still be able to get them.

They are one of the lowest funded states for education. Many teachers working retail and food service on the weekends.

They can’t properly make lesson plans when they can’t feed their own children.

They can’t teach all day to kids after working all night to pay bills.

They can’t watch their students education suffer because they are not being paid enough to live.

They are demanding better funding to schools.

They are demanding pay raises.

They are demanding better health benefits.

They are demanding the safety of their students.

Students in multiple counties led a support system for their teachers. Wearing purple to support them and hyping up social media.

[killerzebras]

More information. WV teachers are the 48th-lowest paid in the country and are looking at only 1-2% raises over the next few years. (Vox)

My mom was a teacher and still works in the public schools. My dad volunteers at the same school. I support teachers, and I support teachers doing what they have to do to get the salaries and benefits they need and deserve.

[Hello!]

“Cars kill more people than guns! What’re you gonna do, regulate cars next?”

You idiot. You moron. You utter buffoon.

Cars ARE regulated. 

The permit test. The permit. The practice year. The regulations on how many hours you have to drive and at what hours and with whom. The driving test. The license. The requirements regarding insurance. License renewals. Road laws. Highway laws. Speed limits. Seatbelt laws. Carseat laws. Laws against drinking and driving and other forms of intoxication. Red lights. Not passing in intersections. Right of way.

WHO can drive and WHEN and HOW and WHERE are all regulated, because yes, a car in the wrong hands can kill a person. Just like a gun.

Oh but wait, there’s more!

I, as a licensed driver, can’t drive anything I want. I can’t drive a motorcycle. I can’t drive a speedboat.

You know what else I can’t drive? One of these.

To drive a semi-truck, I would need a Commercial Driver’s License or CDL. There are age limits involved, as well as required hours of training and study. There’s a written test and a driving test. There are also medical requirements.

And even if I passed all that, you know what I STILL couldn’t drive? One of these.

To drive a semi loaded with hazardous materials, you would have to get a federal H endorsement added to your CDL. And to get that, you have to jump through even MORE hoops, including another written test and a background check.

So yeah, guns should be better regulated. Any Joe Blow shouldn’t be able to stagger down to a gun show and get himself a sweet piece without some oversight. 

And ESPECIALLY no one should be getting their hands on a semi-automatic assault rifle like an AR-15, aka the Hazardous Semi Truck of guns. There are professional reasons that a person might need clearance to handle and own such a weapon, but not a civilian. Not an unscreened rando off the street.

Try not to be such an utter wanker that you place the mere potential of a power-boner over the lives of actual children like those killed in Parkland, Sandy Hook, and elsewhere.

Shoutout to all the 1997-2001 kids who are somehow hybrids of millennials and gen z. We are the Ultimate Generation of 90’s nostalgia and new age internet depression.

[taiga-lesbian]

This is actually super interesting, because I feel like this group witnessed the massive technological change in both our schools and our society. I’m a senior in high school this year, and my school relies heavily on chromebooks - almost everything we do is online. However, I still remember the days when we had a chunky projector on wheels in the room with clear plastic slides that you had to write on in dry erase pen. I still remember when teachers relied almost entirely on chalkboards, and I remember whenever we watched a movie, the teacher would have to roll in this giant old T.V. with a VCR player. Only recently, my school replaced the crusty old textbooks with online ones. Us 1997-2001 are the only age group that truly witnessed that shift. School isn’t the only place where society has changed - when I was a child, we had a house phone. We got rid of the house phone in when I was in grade, so I got a little slide cell phone. In 9th grde, I got an iPhone, and now I can barely imagine life without it. It’s just interesting, because we really LIVED that shift growing up - it’s what defined our childhood. It’s like we have knowledge of the school system from two different eras.
