replying is how you make friends! reply to anything you want and be friendly. don’t make rude jokes if you’re not friends already though!
quote retweeting is a no-no. when you “retweet with a comment” it’s not liked by content creators because it makes a new tweet out of their tweet and they don’t get the likes and retweets they would get if you’d just retweeted it straight up. if you want to comment on a retweet, reply to it or post a new tweet starting with “LRT” which stands for “last retweet” (it’s fine to quote retweet dumb memes and so on.)
you can make your tweets private. this means no one but your followers will be able to see what you post and no one will be able to retweet your content. you can switch back and forth between private and public at will. some people make a separate private account to tweet personal stuff and let mutuals follow it only. it’s a good way to keep things separate.
what is privatter? privatter is a third party web app that content creators can allow to be attached to their twitter. it lets them tweet content that they can make exclusive to logged in users, followers, mutuals, or a specific list of users. as long as you are logged in to twitter and fall into the intended category, you’ll be able to see it.
you can mute people you follow. (and those you don’t, ofc.) you can also mute words and phrases and entire conversations. if you mute someone you follow and they reply to you, that reply will still show up in your notifications. it’s a good way to keep the peace!
you can limit notifications to people who follow you or to mutuals. (notifications from people you follow will still show up regardless of which option you’ve selected.)
miscellaneous tips and warnings: if you accidentally unfollow and refollow someone, it won’t show up in their notifications as long as it’s within a couple minutes. no more accidental stuff. everyone can see who everyone follows so watch out. people will know if you unfollow. if you want to report someone and want them gone forever, report a tweet where they used a curse word. screenshotting tweets for harassment is a no-no and can get you banned. don’t be lame. don’t be a dick. vaguing others is generally really bad form and so is complaining about content within a fandom you’re in. use the mute tools at your disposal and don’t be a spoiler. you won’t come back from a rep like that and everyone sees everything.
that’s it! happy tweeting!!
how do i keep all my content together on twitter?
threads are your best friend!! you make a tweet with your commission info and links and so on and pin it to the top of your page. then reply to that tweet with a copy and pasted link to the tweet where you posted the art/fic/etc you want to not lose. reply to that new tweet with the next piece of artwork and so on. you can also make a unique hashtag for your content to use when you post, so that when you search that hashtag later you’re able to see just your art. good luck!
Deregulation will get you killed. Republican policies make your life worse.
To be even clearer for those who aren’t going to click the article - the reason that e. coli infested lettuce is such an issue is that if the lettuce is watered with or otherwise exposed to contaminated water, the vascular system of the plant sucks it up, so that it’s inside the part of the plant you are going to be eating raw.
Washing and even sterilizing the outside of it won’t help, and you don’t cook lettuce. The only way to make sure there’s no e. coli in your lettuce is to make sure no e. coli gets in your lettuce.
Which requires testing and regulating the water used in production.
I also want to make clear that companies in charge of this 100% had the option of keeping clean water instead of cutting costs. Just cuz the rule isnt there doesnt mean they dont have to follow it. They MADE this choice.
A Place I Know South Africa-based artist Sujay Sanan‘s merges landscapes across the Western Cape with animals that inhabit it. Sanan grew up in the Himalayas, and his new works are a way to explore his new surroundings, while also bringing attention to the increasing climate change and its effects on wildlife.
Commission an artist is a list of artists and tumblr users who offer commissions, in this case digital paintings and drawings.
Before proceeding, we want to remind you that this is not a service, merely a list of contacts and examples. We don’t take part in the commission process, everything that happens outside of this blog remains between the artist and the client.
What I Don’t Do: –I don’t do any kind of fan art, that includes canon characters, celebrities, etc. – I don’t do anything NSFW (Not Safe For Work). – I will not do backgrounds, no matter how simple or complex it may be.
Virginity to me is still an abstract concept, where I honestly don’t even get why it’s a “thing.” Some people say it’s an extremely special moment, and some people say it means nothing. I don’t put it on a high pedestal, but I’m also not just gonna let ANY bitch walk thru the VIP entrance so easily. I honestly didn’t know what to think other than, “I’m not gonna let some random bitch figure out my body for me until I figure it out myself first,” which is what led my friend and I to the good old toy store. The definition of virginity is different to everyone, but seeing that this memory left a greater emotional impact on me than the day I actually “lost it” to someone, I would like to think that I took my own virginity 🤗

So real talk for a second. I’m sometimes still hesitant on sharing many stories, and this was one of them. Although it was a funny, meaningful moment to me, I don’t really know how people will respond to it. I feel like some of it honestly just comes down to the fact that sex topics are still not 100% welcomed, and it’s sometimes shamed upon when it’s coming from a woman. So to be a woman sharing doodles of my own self about to stick a dildo up my VIP entrance, I’m just like 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ Do I really wanna show ppl this shit? LOL. Ultimately, if I have a valid reason in that moment, fuck it, I’d rather just make something that may possibly enlighten others at the expense of my own pride 😤
