John William Waterhouse official site

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

They have some good tips about writing a comment and protecting your privacy which, fuck it, I'll just paste here:

Providing an email address is optional. If you have concerns about privacy, you may use your initials or public address in your local area, such as City Hall. Do not use a joke name. It diminishes the comment’s credibility.

Your submission does not need to be long. A single, well-reasoned paragraph is sufficient.

Do not copy/paste a template comment. The FCC values unique perspectives, and an original comment carries significantly more weight in the public record. You can explain why this matters to you without revealing private or sensitive personal information.

Here's what I said:

“Free speech is a fundamental American freedom. I do not need a warning about seeing queer people, much like I do not need a warning about women, veterans, or any other group of people.”

Here's the link to submit your comment by May 22:

It includes:

A digital copy of the movie (with English soft subtitles)

My transcript of the movie (more on that here)

Audio recordings of the movie

A PDF of the book

An EPUB of the book (for e-readers)

The full audiobook

A copy of Andy Weir's doc on Eridians

A copy of Andy Weir's spreadsheet on Astrophage physics (among many other things!)

A draft of the screenplay for the film from 2022

An audio recording of the director's commentary

My transcript of the director's commentary

The subtitle SRT file

The audiobook, audio recordings, and commentary all have their properties programmed so they (should) work just like songs with a track number, album cover, artist, and so on if you download them.

There are two audios of the movie, one is the entire film untouched and one is that same audio cut up and broken down into separate scenes for convenience.

Additionally, there are two versions of the movie transcript, one with time stamps that match the audio recording and one without. The time stamps (+ their titles from the audio) are outlined in that version, so if you double-click on that tab or click "show outline," they'll all show up and you can pick a specific scene.

Similiarly, there are two different versions of the director's commentary transcript. The first is made to listen along to the commentary, while the second is more intended to be read on its own. The first is a direct transcription of everything that's said (an attempt, at least), while the second is slightly cleaned up for easier reading, meaning things like jumbled sentences and stuttering were removed or reorganised, but nothing has been actually paraphrased. Both are broken down into different scenes based on how their conversation goes, and the listening version includes timestamps. 

The first few seconds of the commentary are missing unfortunately as my US friend who was kind enough to record it for me had some technical difficulties at the start, but the she paraphrased the part that was missed. The commentary starts at that first red shot of Ryland Grace's face in the coma suit 32 seconds into the digital copy.

There's also a google doc with some instructions to follow if any of the files aren't working, which usually happens when too many people try to access or download something at the same time.

Labubus are blind bags but they're also blind bags with some of the most insane dark patterns stacked on top. The online store for them has a thing where they tell you what you got the second you order it online so that you can immediately try again if you didn't get the thing you wanted.

fronting tracker apps

these are ones i've tested and looked around with features. theres possibly more out there. if you want more options looking up "system tracker" might be your best bet.

ourcana - links up with pluralkit and can sync fronting and member edits(icons, pronouns, display name, icon, description, etc) works online as a webapp and on ios but you can add the website itself to your home screen on android and functions just like an app. supports simplyplural and pluralkit imports and has a tarot theme to the app.

ampersand - completely offline system tracker that allows tracking, journaling with privacy settings and content warnings, board messages, displaying system roles, tag management, custom fields,asset management (i haven't used this much yet but it supports images) works as a webapp, desktop app, and on android. supports pluralkit, simplyplural and tupperbox imports

systemconnect.replit - has options to display member relationships (closeness, relationship type, pairs, groups), headspace map, messaging, and adding other people as friends to see whos fronting with them, fronting analytics, discord webhook integration, iamge gallery for alters, private journals, . from what ive seen i couldn't find an option to import simplyplural, octocon, pluralkit, or any other system tracking platform. seems to only work online/as a web app.

System resources

these are specifically articles, websites, and documents to help with either system management, coping skills, tracking symptoms, and overall proving information and resources for trauma support and complex dissociative disorders.

writelighthouse - specifically for system journaling with customizeable journals and keeping track of alter information. also provides resources and such on their website. currently only a website from what i've seen (im not an active user but i've used it in the past)

dis-sos.com/mapping - some suggestions and tips on how to cisualize and map your system, its alters, and the relationships and development of your system. the website also provides examples and visuals of these different types of mapping. the rest of this website provides more help and information for CDD systems

multipliedbyone.org/did-resources - a whole selection of links that lead to did resources and apps for systems, self help, depersonalization and derealization resources, trauma resources(peer support, ra/mc organized extreme abuse, ptsd/cptsd, assault, addiction, lgbtq mental health, helplines, and many more) and has even bigger sections dedicated to various amounts of needs. multipliedbyone as a whole seems like a great website for cdd help and information

the CTAD clinic - this specifically links to their youtube channel but they have a website included "The CTAD Clinic offers assessment and treatment for Complex Trauma and Dissociative conditions. We specialise in assessing, diagnosing and treating dissociative conditions, such as Dissociative Identity Disorder. We train professionals, such as psychologists, psychotherapists and psychiatrists in diagnosing and working therapeutically with dissociation.

Natural Black Hair Tutorial! Usually Black hair is excluded in the hair tutorials which I have seen so I have gone through it in depth because it’s really not enough to tell someone simply, “Black hair is really curly, draw it really curly.”
