#backup phone

[writing-with-olive]

On October 4, at about 2:20pm Eastern Standard Time (EST), FEMA is doing an emergency alert test. This means that all phones, regardless of if they have been placed in do not disturb will go off with that beeping noise. If you have a secret backup phone that you need the people you're with to not know you have, set a reminder to turn it all the way off.

For apple phones, this means holding the power button for five seconds and swiping the "power off" switch that shows up on the screen. Same with androids and early google pixels, except you'll be tapping a button. For google pixels 6 and later, you'll hold the power button and the volume up button at the same time. To turn on for all phones, you'll hit the power button and wait a sec.

Remember that the alert will still come through when you turn your phone back on, so make sure that you are in a place where that noise is safe.

Note that, for whatever reason, if they can't put out the alert, the backup test date is October 11th.

The link below is to the official press release with the information.

I’m on winter break so I’m drawing a lot lol SORRY! I mentioned that I found my drawcast archives and now my winter break goal is to redraw one a day… here’s redraw 1 of ??? But this one’s more of a redesign? 14-15 year old me was actually kinda great at gemsonas ngl

Original under the cut because I want my posts to be compact >:(

The quality is gonna be CRONCHY because the “drawcast archives” are actually a thumb drive I hastily put together in the lates nights of the winter of 2021 right before drawcast shut down. Uh yeah so I don’t know how to get better quality images of my old art rip. This is from 2016, I was 14 probably

Do y'all ever wonder how many times the 118 has had to replace their phones/wallets/etc bc it was left in a building/cruise ship/car etc that was lost during an emergency

Hopefully they got insurance (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

i get WAY too attached to inanimate objects. tell me why i want to hold a funeral for my old phone. she did me so good, she lasted 4.5 years of heavy use, took me through the entire pandemic, and i still didn't want to replace her until i was forced since i liked her so much. why am i sad,

nothing is more soul crushing than finding out pages and pages worth of fic planning is permanently gone and deleted from any recovery/storage space bc it was something probably deleted from at least 2 years ago 🧍‍♀️
