Yearly reminder to everyone trying to find alternatives to tumblr/social media in general: go make a Neocities account and teach yourself basic HTML and post your art/writing/shitposts there.
Tumblr media
It does take extra time to set up (but there are templates out there!) but it is so so worth it to have a site that is 100% YOURS!
Tumblr media
You don’t even have to be that good at coding. I’m not. My site is not very accessible via mobile devices but that is fine with me (keeps me off my phone) but there are plenty of ways to make your site mobile friendly. There are plenty of bare bones/accessible sites I adore purely for the media on it.
Tumblr media
Imagine having your site on your phone and showing someone- hey! I coded this from scratch. And I didn’t even have to pay a company like squarespace. All your images, links, writings, in one place. I have my fandom edits, memes, fanart, and custom graphics there.
Tumblr media
Neocities has a very bare bones follower and comment system, but you can disable this if you want your site to truly abstain from any social media-isms. I use it because its a great way to meet other webmasters and get help with coding problems. Neocities isn't an exact replacement for Tumblr (no reblogging here) but html coding is an invaluable skill to know, as is keeping a personal website in this day in age.
Tumblr media
The awesome thing about having your own website is if, god forbid, Neocities goes down, you can move your site to any other number of hosting platforms (like Teacake.org). Your site is truly YOURS, and no one else (shitty tech CEO cough cough) can take it away from you.
If you need help getting started, I recommend checking out sadgrl.online. (More links to resources in the comments section of this post).
I know neocities has been talked about before, especially within my follower circle, but I thought I'd bring it up again for anyone unaware of this awesome platform.

Squarespace recently updated how to add blocks to a post. It's now difficult or impossible for me to add blocks to posts. I've submitted feedback to Squarespace, but I'm not sure if they know it's not a preference but an issue of necessity. I pay for this service and it's suddenly inaccessible for me to use?!
If you can, please submit feedback to Squarespace about their newest update being completely inaccessible.

Do you have any tips on going about making a website for your art/yourself
Think about your site layout Research the website layout you want to fit your art the best first, above anything!
I had to make this seperate blog because my currently portfolio site does not best fit my art needs, but I also can't up and delete it. So now I am paying for 2 seperate websites.
Domain name and coding If you don't already, I recommend learning basic coding (html/CSS) so you can have full control over your site. Squarespace (my portfolio site) is ok but im limited on what I can do with it. Im currently learning how to do HTML myself.
It will cost money on top of paying for the site hosting, but get an official domain for your site. Be sure that this domain name is easy enough to spell and represents you in some way (your name, art subject, etc.
Accessibility Take accessibility into consideration when creating your site. Such as using a max of 3 different fonts, have colors contrast each other, use alt text where you can, and have your font be dyslexic friendly.
The dyslexic friendly font is typically the less aesthetic fonts, but at least your audience will be able to read it lol.

I have a Member's Only Blog!
It's basically like Patreon, but hosted on my own Squarespace website. It gives me more control over how I organize my space and make it more and more accessible to my followers and kind patrons.
It's only 5 USD a month, which helps me a lot with grocery bills (and maybe rent in the future)!
Sign up is available here!

Why don't content creators have a union?
If content creators unionized they could:
Get better pay for creative work
Not have to get sponsorships from shitty companies (squarespace, scentbird, shein, temu, betterhelp, hello fresh, raid shadow legends, etc)
Be able to keep from being demonetized or get their video reinstated faster
Not have to work as many days/as many hours
Not have to live stream for days on end
Have something to fall back on
Have access to more resources
Make the "content creator job" more accessible
Make the connection between the content creator and the company (YouTube, Tiktok, Twitch, etc) easier to access. A lot of complaints about YouTube have to do with miscommunications with YouTube.
It would also lead to more content and since people who didn't have access to that path, we would get new, great creators

Podcast: Ghost Wax
Episode Count: 49 (45 numbered episodes, 1 episode that's not numbered, 2 episodes that seem to be part of a patreon series, and 2 Q&A's, I have not subscribed to the patreon)
Last update: Season 1 finished on Halloween and the the last Q&A followed soon after. The most recent update to the podcast in general was on December 6th to notify listeners of a kickstarter for a kickstarter from the creator that is unrelated to the podcast.
Brief synopsis taken directly from apple podcasts is: Ghost Wax is a horror fiction podcast following the work of the last "reclaimer", investigating a series of unnatural killings by raising the dead and committing their final statements to wax cylinder. The synopsis from their official squarespace website though is: Ghost Wax is a Fantasy Horror Podcast: Owen Voncid is the last Reclaimer. The last person able to wake the dead and hear their tales. To combat the darkness of the realms beyond, even the black art of necromancy is a line worth crossing.
I'm personally not sure why the synopsis is different across platforms and am unsure if there are any further changes on other locations but this does kind of annoy me. Not enough to change my rating, but enough to make me side eye the creators a bit.
Star Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
TL;DR: Even with the length of the show, I'd love to recommend it to people, but I can't without caveats. And most of those caveats have nothing to do with the script writing, sound design, the voice acting, or even the character design. My worries are for its worldbuilding, which is already at a level where I'm worried about them being able to maintain it as time goes on, and I am deeply concerned that this show isn't exactly accessible. Most don't have trigger warnings which can be okay since it's a horror show so approach with caution, but there's also a severe lack of transcripts available on their website. Less than half have them in fact. So there's a group of people I would recommend this to, but many where I can't.
Full review after read more.
Ghost Wax was another horror podcast that I went into knowing literally nothing about it. The cover art intrigued me, as did the first episode I was recommended by another podcast. And instantly I was intrigued. The idea of creating something that gives the dead a way to tell their last moments isn't new, it's something people have been dreaming up in fiction and searching for in real life for an extremely long time. Some versions of this fictionalized idea can be grotesque, dragging a long suffering soul from a pit of despair just to wring out their last moments for something unseemly, or they can go the Ghost Wax route.
Voncid, despite being a curmudgeonly creature (and I do mean creature in a more literal sense since while I don't fully understand what he is, he's not 'human'), is compassionate to the dead. He cares extremely deeply about the dead's comfort and how they feel. He wants answers about how they died, but he also wants them to know they can tell their story at their own pace. Combine that with a warm old man voice and you've got a recipe for moments that can be achingly beautiful amidst the horrors around them.
And so despite having no skin in the game going in, I ended up feeling extremely excited about the show just within a few episodes. I wanted to know more about Voncid, Luca, Pip, Charlie, and Jinx the cat. I cared about how they were doing and I looked forward to each new story from the deceased. That's not to say every episode was a banger. V.ideo H.orror S.tory has kind of a goofy ending for my taste. Not enough to make it bad, but enough to make it nowhere near my favorite episode. Hilariously enough though, according to the Q&A part 2, an episode a lot of people hated was The Final Countdown. And honestly, I know this is gonna sound ridiculous, but I think the campiness of the episode actually works with the premise of a traveling New Year's party that consumes its guests to be in an eternal party.
The reason I believe the episodes mostly work is a credit to the writers, the soundscaping, and the performers. The writing usually had a good flow to it and when there needed to be strong characterization, there would be. Parts of their personality and aspects of who they are, including their queerness, feel seemlessly woven in instead of an afterthought or a case of tokenism. This is both because of the main writer and the performers (who I believe are either predominantly or entirely queer) treating their characters like avatars that they could fiddle with and make into whole people. Even Jinx the cat feels like it has a tangible personality within the story. We get enough of the characters, actually, that most are going to pick up on Charlie's duplicitous nature at some point before the reveal when he finally turns on the others.
This isn't a failing of the show though. I love the dramatic irony and I love that people had different moments where they realized he was the traitor. My moment was how he treated the more gruesome aspects of the Ardent, as if they were toys he could play with instead of aspects to be treated seriously. Others just thought he was too damn chipper, which is also valid. He was extremely chipper.
The other characters not picking up on it though, despite being shown to the audience in a myriad of ways, doesn't ring false. After all, there's been dozens of murders and their lives have been overturned and they just have their own shit going on. So it's understandable when Voncid and Pip do not pick up on anything beyond 'Charlie's a little weird, oh well, got shit to do today', because really, that's kind of like how most of us are in situations like that. Hindsight and being on the outside looking in are two powerful tools in noticing duplicity.
The soundscape especially adds to all of this to create moments that range from intensely creepy to hilarious to truly fucking heartbreaking. Voncid unleashing untold horror because he doesn't want to let go of his lover's soul, and that lover reminding him that this isn't the way he's supposed to be, did actually make me sob at my desk. I could feel the ache of hundreds of years, that desperation to keep that last bit of someone so precious. I could hear the betrayal in Pip's voice after Charlie takes her eyes. I could feel the cold dread in the soundscaping of In the Snow. These moments all stuck with me and I truly adored them.
That being said, I must be honest and say there was exactly 1 moment in the show that has stuck to me as a 'you should have probably redone that', and that's unfortunately in the season finale part 2. In that episode, Charlie has turned on everyone and caused absolute mayhem and destruction in the Ardent. And because of this, we get a lot of named and unnamed characters dying in the episode. Like a lot. A lot. And so we get a lot of screams in the background. Some of those screams are funny. Like as in they come across less 'horrifying death wail' and more 'wilhelm scream'. Also, while I like the episode The Final Countdown and am fine with the voice actress doing an annoying drunk girl voice since she is an annoying drunk girl, it's very obviously not a performance everyone's going to adore.
Having that few negative moments in a 46 episode season with dozens of voiced characters involved though is, in itself, an achievement. I know shows with a small percentage of that and they've failed way more. There were times though, especially when I had to take breaks in listening due to personal issues, that it became hard to differentiate between the the extended cast and to remember who everyone was. It wasn't egregious enough for me to deduct a ton from my rating, but it is something to keep an eye on. An easy way they could have helped this out is transcripts.
There was no commentary on it in either Q&A, so I have no way of knowing but the missing transcripts are something they intend to fix as time goes on or if that's dead in the water, but currently less than half of the episodes have transcripts on their squarespace website. That's a problem for me, both in terms of consistency but also accessibility. I know plenty of people who require transcripts. I myself have trouble with audio sometimes and have to double check what I heard against a written version, which is why subtitles are always on in my household. So right off the back, not doing this means I can't recommend this show to some people I know. There not being trigger warnings consistently on episodes is also an issue, but not nearly as bad as the transcripts is for me. Especially because I think it will hinder them in the future with how big the story is.
This world is huge. The creators themselves have stated both out of character and through Voncid that everything is real in this world. Everything. And while that's fun and it's okay that not everything gets answered in season one since that's typically how season 1 of any show works, I am truly worried about the future. While these writers are good, they are running a real risk of making it both hard to write and hard to follow with how much is in there. Transcripts of every episode would at least help the audience refer back to things a bit easier as well as follow along with the number of characters involved. At the end of the day though, the writers just have to pinky promise me they won't pull a George R R Martin and fall off the face of the earth with their main project because tying together 32893472 loose threads is actually a bitch and a half to do.
I'm giving this show 4 stars out of 5 stars as it currently is. I'm extremely worried about the future of this podcast, but am also excited to see where it goes. Hopefully they get better about making it a little easier to tell extended cast apart, do better about death screams, and are better about accessibility in general. And I really struggled with if those reasons should rank this a 3.5, but at the end of the day, I really loved the characters, the main performances, and the hidden world yet to come. I looked forward to every single episode. And I'm terrified of Dottie Jean Barlowe and her weird taxidermy henchmen. If I don't review season 2, it's because it either never came out or because she thought I was a judgy bitch and killed me for my skin. Both seem like really sad options.

What Plugin is ADA Compliant for Squarespace?
When it comes to creating accessible websites, the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance has become a priority for most website owners. The question of how to make a Squarespace website ADA compliant can be a challenge, but fortunately there are tools available that can help. One of the most popular ADA compliant plugins for Squarespace is AccessiBe, a comprehensive and easy to use plugin designed to make any website accessible to people with disabilities.
Tumblr media
AccessiBe works by looking at the code of your Squarespace website, scanning for any ADA related issues and then applying necessary fixes to make the website compliant. Once the plugin is installed, it provides an array of features such as an accessibility widget that allows visitors to change the font size, background color, and font style of the website, as well as a keyboard navigation feature that makes it easier for those with limited mobility to navigate the page. Additionally, AccessiBe provides accessibility reports which allow website owners to track their progress and make sure that their site is continually meeting their ADA compliance goals.
AccessiBe is one of the most advanced ADA compliant plugins available for Squarespace, and its ease of use makes it an attractive option for website owners. The plugin is available in both basic and pro versions, allowing users to select the best version for their specific needs. The basic version includes the keyboard navigation and accessibility widget features, while the pro version includes more advanced features such as an AI-powered analyzer and AI-based accessibility reports.
For those looking to make their Squarespace website ADA compliant, AccessiBe is one of the best options available. The plugin offers a comprehensive set of features that ensure ADA compliance, as well as an easy-to-use interface that makes the process of setting up the plugin hassle-free. Additionally, AccessiBe’s pro version provides a more comprehensive solution with its AI-powered analyzer and AI-based accessibility reports. For those looking to ensure their Squarespace website meets all ADA requirements, AccessiBe is an excellent choice.

Hey, do you have any advice on setting up an online portfolio? Specifically, what did you use to create the site, or did you code it yourself? I've been wanting to make one but I've never built a site before. My art instructor recommended using Google sites but I thought I'd ask for your recs bc I love how yours looks :^)
hi there!! i use cargo for my portfolio---they're a website builder like wix or squarespace, but i find that some of the features they have are a bit more avant-garde/interesting compared to something like squarespace (and when i joined, it was cheaper---now theyre about the same per month, so its up to personal preference tbh)
i would only recommend using something like squarespace or cargo or wix if you can justify the cost of the website upkeep, otherwise there are some other options out there: carrd is genuinely a good option, accessible and affordable (and im sure there's plenty of videos going over how to set one up for a portfolio); neocities is also fun, but you have to know how to code a little bit to utilize it (but! its really cool and cheap, so if you wanna learn how to code your own site, its a great place to do it). i also think google sites can totally work---haven't used it myself, but i've seen other people who have!
honestly, the most important aspects of a portfolio are: showing your work, nice and big, without too many distractions (captions and accompanying text are fine yknow), with a clean layout, and some sort of bio section with a way (or ways) to get in touch with you! as long as you can put everything together in a way thats easy for potential clients to see your work, then it doesnt matter exactly what you use :)
(i would recommend getting your own domain name if you can, honestly i think thats one of the more affordable things that makes your site feel professional! like if you connected a .com to a carrd, i think thats a great utilization of funds, if you can afford it ofc)

How to Steal Youtube like your Dad Stole Cable: A non-comprehensive guide.
Piracy is cool and you should do it.
I mean it, I fully condone the theft of copyrighted material online for the masses. You should consider the relative prices of a sturdy VPN to the cost of all your monthly streaming subscriptions and see what I mean: The mere fact that so many of these services trade the same movies back and forth on a bi-monthly basis only proves one thing, They don't respect you or your hard earned money. The prices go up, the services offered get more narrow and ill-defined, and worse to boot, but the torrent sites still exist and they still have everything I could ever want.
There are other guides on how to get any movie or album you want online, and maybe I'll write another, but today I want to talk you through something different. Piracy for the modern age, stealing something that would make the eyes of any tin-foil antenna wielding cable pirate misty with pride.
Let's get around youtube's bullshit under the jump:
We're going for the big dog. We're going… for youtube premium. I'm writing this guide with Firefox and Android in mind, but as far as I'm aware this will work more or less on chromium based browsers as well.
The two web extensions you'll need for your desktop:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sponsorblock/
If you're like me and find yourself in a youtube death spiral more often than you wish, you might want this one too:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hide-youtube-shorts/
Now, we address the app on your phone. Real heads have known about this trick for years, but it recently came to my attention.
ReVanced is a revival of the original Vanced app modding tool, and what it lets us do is very simple: bypass restrictions in many of our favorite apps like youtube, duolingo and others, so that we can get back essential features that have been paywalled. Specifically for youtube, we can now access off-screen playback, windowed playback, ad-free viewing, and we even GAIN a feature for our trouble, sponsor block, which uses crowdsourced data to find and skip embedded sponsor spots in videos. Think Squarespace and raid:shadow legends.
When you're installing revanced, you need to be careful not to install a pre-made hacked .apk, you really need to apply them yourself because nefarious users are everywhere and WILL send you malware. The ReVanced Manager app makes it very easy anyway, so you shouldn't need to rely on pre-hacked apks anyway.
You can get revanced from their page. Make sure it's the real deal, because there ARE fakes around.
You can find a current or slightly out-of-date youtube app around online very easily if you search. A slightly out of date apk is preferable here, as it means more of the hacks will work out of the box. If you've already downloaded the ReVanced app, then it will suggest a version for you to download.
"What about my TV?!" I haven't done this one personally, though I do intend to soon. My understanding is that you can use the command line on your fireTV stick to download a hacked app there as well! It's not an Enter The Matrix-tier operation, you just have to type a couple lines into a console. Super simple!
"Why aren't there more links in this post?" The companies have the internet too, and you probably know how to use it a bit more than they do. Posting links is like handing info to the enemy.
