hey yall, a requ/est: please tag anything relating to The Ora/nge Ame/rica Man with “ray dont look”
Hoi!! I saw a little bit of the process on your Instagram, but could you explain how you go about making a pattern? I absolutely love how that neato cactus/desert one you did turned out!
1. Open a canvas and draw in the centerWITHOUT touching any of the edges.
2. [Below: Light cyan lines] Divide your canvas into four equal parts.
Make four guides framing the canvas, and two across the middle.
For the ones in the middle, View > New Guide > Horizontal or Vertical for needed orientation > type in 50% to get the exact middle of your canvas. These are photoshop shortcuts, may be different on your programs.
3. [Above: Yellow arrows] Make sure
you have ‘Snap’ checked under View > Snap, then select each quarter of your piece > layer via cut > move diagonally to the other side.
After you’re done moving things diagonally, you can either turn off Snap so your doodling won’t stick to the center lines, or toggle the guide visibility off (Ctrl+;). Merge the layers back together.
4. Draw in the middle without touching the borders, color the entire thing if you plan on doing that.
5. Setting your image as a pattern After your image is done, merge all layers into one > select the entire canvas (Ctrl+A) > Edit > Define Pattern
Open a new canvas bigger than the one you made the pattern on, and paint bucket it in! (Instead of the Foreground button at the top when paint bucket is active, select Pattern then your pattern)
If you aren’t using a program that lets you define patterns, merge everything into one layer and duplicate & tile them manually.
Most companies are probably going to continue their regular food safety procedures, but a few things you can do to reduce some personal risk:
Buy hard, solid veggies and fruits (apples, melons) or ones with rinds (bananas are probably fine). Scrub the peel/rind thoroughly with soap and water before consumption.
The more solid and dense the meat, the less likely it is for contamination to spread very far. Buy your meat in solid cuts, NOT GROUND. Especially not ground chicken rn, salmonella bad.
Cook things thoroughly. Follow guidelines for the internal temperatures meat is supposed to reach and stick to those guidelines. Use a meat thermometer. Make your steaks well done for a while.
I’d stay away from shellfish as a whole if I were you. The diseases you can get from it are some of the nastier ones. No sushi for a while, too. If you have fish, make sure it was frozen following anti-parasitic guidelines and cook thoroughly.
AVOID LEAFY GREENS. This is where we’ve been seeing the most outbreaks lately, so be very careful.
The pregnant, elderly, immunocompromised, and the very young are the ones most at risk in an outbreak. If you are in one of these groups, be extremely cautious and avoid soft cheeses and prepackaged deli meats. Check on friends and family in these groups. Report symptoms of foodborne illness to a doctor so they can report to the state health depts that are still running.
Even with these in mind, remember that most outbreaks of foodborne illness are due to things like improper cooking and storage. Stay safe out there, folks 💙
wasn’t thinkin of postin this but….i really need to post more art. but uh, boy howdy, @idek618‘s possessed doll pip had a Really Scary Night the other night and i had to draw it
Instead of saying “I don’t deserve ______”, try saying “I am grateful for ______.”
Even if you don’t truly believe that you deserve it or you don’t feel that grateful for it, just switching the negative statement to a positive one can make a huge difference.
You do deserve love. You do deserve happiness. You do deserve recovery. Adding a little bit of gratitude to your day is one of the best things you can do for yourself.
hey no seriously though if you’re in college check your email all the time
i don’t just mean because profs send most important stuff via blackboard and email or whatever
but because it is the most reliable method of getting so much free stuff
the first week of the semester i got an email mentioning you could show up to the dorm common room one evening and get a free succulent guess who has a succulent now
literally this morning i got an email about how apparently it’s my honors college’s 30th birthday and there would be cake in the study suite. like 5 fucking people showed up so they just let us have as much cake as we want, i ate like two pieces and took one home in a tupperware, they also gave me a mug, a lanyard, and like 3 pens i am living like a fucking king
weird bits of your college are willing to feed and furnish you but they only communicate through email, check your email for cake
