Let's just pretend I know what I'm doing

Left wingers do this too. Except instead of "THEY'RE EATING THE CATS AND DOGS" it looks like:

"No one else will ever accept you."

"You're too oppressed to be understood by anyone but us."

or

"Anyone outside our group is dangerous."

Check in with yourself about how online communities make you feel.

Do they make you feel hopeful, or hopeless? Connected, or isolated? Accepted, or tolerated?

Do they encourage you to think for yourself, and use critical thought? Or do they ask you to accept without thinking and toe the line? Is there open communication, or are differing opinions bullied into silence?

Beware of anyone who tries to isolate you.

Beware of anyone who tells you no one else will ever love you like they will, that no one else will ever accept you.

Beware of anyone that tells you life is nothing but pain, or that there is no hope.

Hopeless, lonely people are easily controlled.

I know things are scary right now. I'm scared too.

Look out for people who WANT you scared.

Try to find spaces that make you feel like change is possible. Look for people who make you feel empowered to do something!

^THIS!!!!

There are many valid reasons to be angry, or scared right now. But don't give up on hope, and don't let anyone isolate you.

Here’s some more.

If you need to track the cost of things like hotel stays, pet kenneling, medical care, etc. after a disaster you can use this worksheet.

If you need to create an inventory of your home for an insurance claim (and if you'd like to do this to keep someplace safe before a disaster) you can use this worksheet (two pages, instructions on the first page, worksheet on the second).

These are free documents you can download to keep track of disaster recovery expenses or make a list for insurance claims.

I know people are exhausted and frightened and not thinking about stuff but start a folder in your email for receipts for things you're paying for right now so that you can fill out these forms later.

Don't enter your info on a random website or you're going to start getting calls from scammy companies.

you don't need chat gpt to write professional sounding emails for you, there are many many guides on the internet and with a bit of practise you can learn to write them yourself. a very important skill for a professional to have, and some of the basic rules will carry over into irl conversations!

you don't need chat gpt to be a "more detailed search engine", because you're robbing yourself of the chance to learn how to find and filter information on the internet and evaluate the credibility of sources. which is a VITAL skill. plus, chat gpt is notorious for being wrong?

if you use it to write essays, you're taking away your ability to hone your research skills, your writing skills, your critical thinking skills. your ability to create persuasive arguments!

and for most of the other reasons people use chat gpt, there are non-ai websites for that! for maths, wolfram alpha. for figuring out what you can cook with the ingredients you have there's supercook and the like. for creating routines, there's about a million apps!

I uh, get that tumblr isn't exactly sorted by geography, but this is a huge deal.

The wikipedia catalogue of Munch's paintings, almost 1800 in total, lists no fewer than 50 works with the word 'sun" in them, and a full TEN of his paintings are just called The Sun (or Solen, if you want to stick with the original Norwegian, which I assume Munch himself did?)

The dates of the paintings help keep them straight... somewhat. Sadly, I couldn't find any of the three versions of The Sun (1910-1913) online.

The Sun (1910)

The Sun (1910)

The Sun (1910-1912)

The Sun (1910-1913)

The Sun (1910-1913)

The Sun (1910-1913)

The Sun (1910-1911) This is the second photo in the above posts! It's 14.6ft high, and 25.4ft wide, and lives in the Munch Museum in Oslo, Noway (accession number MM.M.00963)

The Sun (1911) This is the first photo of this post! It lives in Hall of Ceremonies at the University of Oslo. It's 14.7ft tall and 25.7ft wide. (accession number UiO.K.01399)

The Sun (1912)

The Sun (1912-1913) This one also lives at the Munch Museum in Oslo, but I can't find it's measurements (perhaps understandably, it's not so easy to be clear on which is which.)
