It's about that time of year again, and after having this circulate for a year now, it interesting seeing some observations:
- Despite making this post in August, this post spikes in brief periods throughout the year, depending on when folks like to start.
- Reading all the cool costume projects people are working on
- Some of you animals reblog this on November 1st

Old iconic tumblr posts gather gimmick blog comments the way DNA mutations accumulate over time

Everybody say "thank you south america" for the humble potato
Actually let's get specific with it
*checks wiki*
Everybody say thank you indigenous people of present-day southern Peru and extreme northwestern Bolivia from 7-10,000 years ago for the humble potato
I, a hearing person who likes subtitles just as a preference, shouldn't have to read a subtitle that's obvious nonsense, go back a couple seconds, and listen again in order to figure out what's going on. An accessibility feature should not be the most half-assed part of a professionally made production. Scripted media has absolutely no excuse for not having subtitles or having subtitles that aren't perfectly verbatim. Professional captioning services should be ashamed of the shoddy work that they put out. Captions should be treated as a part of the production, just like filming, editing, audio balancing, etc - and anything that releases with missing or bad captions should be seen as unfinished
The reason your snacks are unsatisfying is that you need both carb and protein.
Carb starts your engine, protein keeps it going.
No carb, engine don’t start. No protein, engine dies out fast.
Easy carb add on:
- Cookie
- Fruit (canned or fresh)
- Chips
- Piece of bread
- Popcorn
- Crackers
Easy protein add on:
- Nuts
- Spoonful of nut butter
- Cheese
- Roasted chickpea snacks
- Glass of milk (dairy or non dairy)
- Small canned sausages or similar
I am pleased by people messaging me telling me that after adding a carb or protein to their snacks or meals they feel more satisfied all day. Yes, my plan is working. People are getting through their days with less hangry.

A reminder to my self and all of you: you can, and should make customer complaints on behalf of staff.
Like last week, I had to mail a package and my local USPS was absolutely SWEALTERING. And the staff only had a few fans, some of which they were using faced towards customers, to try and keep us cool.
While doing my transaction, I was chatting with the worker about how crazy this was and how I hoped she had her own fan too, because I could only see the customer-benefit ones. She said yes, but I also asked if there was anyone I could complain to on her behalf and she immediately said yes again and to please do it! She wrote a more direct customer service number on my receipt which I was able to call Friday.
To be clear, I was kind and polite; I stressed how good the workers at this office were and how efficient always: "It's my local post office," but also how unbearable the heat was and how I couldn't imagine MY poor local staff having to suffer in that heat all day. I don't know yet if it will have an immediate effect for the workers, I hope it will though.
It's a move I haven't pulled much recently, but it was a good reminder for me that I can. I can put on my best assertive-Karen-for-good voice and bitch at companies and corporations to take care of their staff because why would I keep going to them if they don't? I know Post office is a little different, but all the more reason for me to take a vested interest as I pay for them with my taxes! Use my money to get those hard-working folks some goddamn aircon!
As someone who works in a warehouse without air conditioning or any kind of air filtration... DO THIS SHIT!! Higher ups will regularly ignore the concerns voiced by employees but will care a lot more about the complaints of customers. Also, a lot of things that employees complain amongst themselves about never make it all the way up the food chain because people don't have the balls to raise the issues to the people in charge. If its 103 outside and a feels like of 113 and you are thinking "how can they work in this heat?" Say something to the people who make decisions about these things! Complain to the higher ups that you are concerned someone is going to get a heat injury (don't blame the workers, and don't say they are moving too slowly or anything like that, make it about the specific safety hazard putting the employees at risk). I recently had to raise a concern about the terrible air quality from the Canada fires because no one else was saying it to the highest levels of the company but we were all trying to survive. When conditions are problematic saying something as a consumer goes way further than saying something as an employee or manager.
See a hazard, speak up for the employees having to deal with the hazard who have no control. Your words as a customer can be used to help or hurt employees, speak up for your friends.

Other useful AI Removal/Detection links
- How to spot AI Hallucinations like a Reference Librarian (originally on Substack)
- Library Freedom Project has a lot of handouts about AI on their Resources page
This is relevant to art also because it is becoming increasingly difficult to find reference images online during simple searches.
