Whew! Hello everyone! I think I’m finally starting to breathe like a normal human being again, to tell y’all the truth. I finally had a chance to catch up on my emails, messages, and notifications, and I am so goddamn happy to finally give you a real update on how we did. Drumroll, please!

Now I know what everyone really wants to know is, how much real money is already on its way to helping Puerto Rico’s people? Here’s where we stand so far:
BIN TOTAL: $775.00 MISC TOTAL: $697.00 NYCC TOTAL: $645.00 FIC TOTAL: $4,566.00 ART TOTAL: $770.00 SPECIAL EVENTS: ? GRAND TOTAL OF CONFIRMED DONATIONS: $7,453.00
Holy shit, right??? I know, I’m over the goddamn moon. Except – I know everyone heard me say over and over that proof of donation must be provided to your creator by November 6th! The other half of this requirement is that the creator has to tell us, the FLPR mods, that proof was received.
You may notice that the fic and BIN events have about 50% fulfillment rate, but art and the other category (crafts, vids, etc) is way lower. Are artists and crafters more forgetful about letting us know they’ve received bids??
Tomorrow we’re going to start messaging creators about whether they’ve received proof of donation. We will not be messaging individual bidders to remind them that they’ve won. Creators, if you have received proof from your bidders, please let us know ASAP so we can update our records and check you off our list of people to harass. You can do this either by messaging me (@hansbekhart) directly on tumblr or DW, or by replying to the relevant comment thread on the FLPR auction site.
Don’t forget to add your work to the Fandom Loves Puerto Rico AO3 collection! Also, if you tag me or send me the link to your FLPR creation, I will very happily reblog it!
Hey y’all, a dear friend of mine has just been approached by Steam to get her game Zorbit’s Orbits up in the Steam store. It’s out November 10th and it’s only going to be $0.99. It’s a 2D platformer, so if that’s you’re kind of thing, I’d be super grateful if you’d give it a look.

I ’m BACK!!! But only for 5days during my vacation…
My VPN was down month ago.(Actually most VPN are not available for personal use.
It will not be easy for me to get on Tumblr Instagram Twitter anymore.
I’m not sure if there is anyone still remember me or not here. But if you wanna see my updated works, you can go through my deviant art site. Account is xxxxxx6x.
And my weibo or Lofter account named “爱克斯馒头”.
You are back! Wonderful. Go follow this person on deviant art.
Justin Smith, the man who accused Bryan Singer of sexual assault vanished from twitter, his account is gone and he was either suspended or was harassed until he had to delete his account.
Anyway it seems like this story is gradually being scrubbed from the internet so please try to spread this around and save the screenshots and repost them and tell the people you know to do the same thing
If you’re a Non-Muslim and you see a Muslim praying in public, could you please not pass in front of them?
Go behind them, but not in front. 👍
Oh, signal boost! I didn’t know this.
Okay, but also: if you see a Muslim praying in public and they have something in front of them, like a purse or a bag or something like that, you can pass in front of them, but pass in front of that object.
it’s called a sutrah, and it’s meant to act as a physical barrier between the person praying and someone who might happen to pass in front.
Also, if you did this and didn’t know, please don’t beat yourself up over it. Now you know! Muslims aren’t supposed to pass in front of Muslims praying, either, because prayer is communication with God and you don’t want to break that connection.
Spread culture, respect customs, be good people. Simple as that.
Didn’t know this.
Reblogging again
THE AMOUNTS OF REBLOGS THIS HAS JUST MAKES ME SO HAPPY
S I G N A L B O O S T
Reblog forever !
Similarly, if a Jew is saying the Shemonah Esrei prayer (whispered, moving only the mouth, standing facing east with legs together) don’t go in front unless there’s a barrier.
Reblogging because spreading ways to be polite to people we may not know is always a bit of a win all ‘round.
not perfect, but I like it nevertheless. I think very slowly I get better with skin tones. Perhaps one day I’ll also do a Steve one…
i have tons of new ideas for fanarts (already started lots of them) and I am looking foward to finish them. I have a sports series planned but I’m not sure yet if I only draw Bucky and Steve or other Avengers as well… we’ll see.
I hate that SEPTember OCTOber NOVember and DECember aren’t the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th months.
Whoever fucked this up should be stabbed
If I recall, they did used to be the corresponding months. It was just when Roman leaders Julius Caesar and Augustus came into power, the months July(Julius) and August(Augustus) were added, thus throwing off the numbering of the calender.
Good news, though: whoever fucked it up did in fact get stabbed.
This is not correct actually…
The traditional Roman calendar started with March*. July was originally called quintilis (fifth month), August sextilis (sixth month). Then there was September that was the seventh month, and so on.
Caesar introduced a new calendar but it did not add any months, the twelve months existed before then. (In fact, the fifth month was named after Julius Caesar after Caesar’s assassination, thanks to Mark Anthony. The sixth month was named after Augustus because Augustus fixed some things that were off about Caesar’s calendar.)
So July and August were always there, and only their names changed.
Throughout centuries, there was no universally acknowledged first day of the year that every political entity agreed on (some considered it the 1st of January, some Easter, some Christmas…). In the 1500s the French king made the 1st of January the first day of the year by law, other catholic states agreed, and of course protestant countries did not accept it. For instance, Great Britain used the 25th of March as first day of the year until the 1700s.
*The super hyper ancient roman calendar did not count days for the equivalent of two months in winter. Basically they started counting the days in March and stopped in December – there were 10 months and a hole in winter. Then the less ancient Roman calendar (according to the tradition, issued in 713 BC, then lasted until Julius Caesar’s reform) filled the hole with January and February, but the beginning of the year was still in March for seasonal reasons. Making the year start with the first day of March is known as ‘republican style’ (as in Roman republic). Apparently the Romans started using the first day of January in the II century AC, so completely unrelated to Julius Caesar.
