Matt: I have someone at the station that does that now Matt: B Matt: U Matt: T Matt: I like the idea of someone unaffiliated with the station to shoot these videos because you can let me know if I need to tweak the script because I'm using too much firefighter jargon that civies wouldn't know Matt: Good girl Matt: Last thing people need is someone drops a turkey in and then there's a hot-oil shower raining down on everyone. That happened a couple years ago. It was no bueno. Matt: Oooooooo! Which friend is Sam bringing? This a friend friend or a friend friend?

Stacey: If you ever need help with the videos, let me know! I can hold the phone/camera while you guys do what you need. Stacey: SIR YES SIR!!! Stacey: In all seriousness though, I'll make sure if I'm around anyone doing it that they're safe. Stacey: Yeah Lottie said that she's gonna host it and then Sam is gonna pop over and help out - I guess he's bringing a friend too!

Btw guys I did some digging on how to back up your blog, here's the deets:

If you have Xkit (which you should, it's a life saver!!) They have an option called Mirror Posts:

Turning this on means when you click the three dots at the top right of a post you've made you get this option:

Clicking to mirror the post gives you this:

Choosing WayBackMachine offers this page:

So you just click save and the waybackmachine then captures a screencap of your post and saves it. If you don't have an account then so long as you have the url for the post you'll always be able to find it there (or you can just put in the url to your tumblr but finding specific posts becomes more difficult then).

However if you DO have a waybackmachine account it'll store all of your saved posts into the account and you can access them there.

Choosing archivetoday gives you this:

There's a button at the top that says 'all snapshots from host apoptoses.tumblr.com' and you can then download them as a zip.

SO. This is a couple ways you can back up your original posts should something awful happen and your blog get terminated.

But I really, really encourage writers and artist to make a multi-chapter post on ao3 where they can dump all their short fics and quick sketches- truly no post is too small or too 'rough' to not save, because for someone out there that is their favorite fic or art of all time! And you deserve to have a portfolio of your hard work!

Back up your stuff, don't let us continue to live in a digital dark age where great posts get lost forever due to websites collapsing or making garbage choices ♥

Out in the Cold Field, pt. ii

Hello Travelers. Terrible Waste hurt us all... Surly this won't hurt you more?

@ananxiousgenz @urjover @one-joe-spoopy @ceaseless-watchers-special-girl @demonic-panini @waters-and-the-wilde @the-private-eye

The woman’s expression went from smug to slack in mere moments. She said her name was Aurora. Aurora’s expression went from smug to slack in mere moments. 

She recovered swiftly and chose her words carefully, “I have no clue what you’re talking about Darling.” 

“If you have intention to lie to me, then my Associate and I will be less inclined to help you.” 

“Like I said, I didn’t ask to be saved. And in any case, you’re running away from yourselves, you and your Associate, correct? I can’t begin to conceive why you would stop to pick a stranger off the side of the tracks. I have nothing to give or offer you.”

“My Associate and I do not want anything from you–”

Aurora’s laughter is sharp. Like nails gliding against a chalkboard, she cackles with an amount of carefree nature that Jet hasn’t heard since spring disappeared. 

“Oh Jet Darling– you really are a comedian! There is no such thing as free in this world. Everything has a price. I didn’t have the best relationship with my father, but he made it a point that I understand that nothing I wanted would ever be handed to me.”

Aurora loved to talk. Or maybe she just liked the sound of her own voice. She would be in for a rude awakening tomorrow when her voice would be gone. Already raw as it is, if she kept this pace up it would be gone within two hours. Four at most. It makes the corner of Jet’s mouth twitch with delight. 

Aurora pauses her yammering. “Something I said tickle your fancy?”

“I was just thinking you had a lovely voice.” Jet leans away from her and turns back for his stool. He pauses. “You never answered my question.”

“What question? I don’t recall you ever asking me anything.”

Ah, the talking was a distraction. Whoever Aurora really is she’s quite the character. 

“I asked: what happened to make you want to die?” He’s met with silence. Jet nods and crosses the room. He resumes his seat next to the fire and pot of stew. They had but three shriveled carrots and a quarter head of cabbage left to split three ways. It needed a protein, but regardless it’s come together rather nicely…

Another twenty minutes creeps by. Jet looks up to check on Aurora and finds her eyes closed. Whether she’s actually asleep or pretending to be is not his concern. Watching her chest rise and fall is. 

She looks so small lying on the cot. With such a big mouth she must be quite the showrunner at parties. She just about talked circles around Jet, and he has the sneaking suspicion she would if he let her. 

Her bright and bold red hair is what allowed Jet to spot her in the blizzard. He had been walking back to the small Hanataba Cabin carrying a frail rabbit for the stew when he saw what he first thought was a dahlia. Dahlia’s growing along the tracks were not uncommon, but they tended to sprout sporadically and wither quickly. Upon further investigation seeing that it was in fact, a person not a flower, he dropped the rabbit and scooped the woman into his arms. He hadn’t tried to sprint through the snow in years. Once he got her settled in the cot and addressed her frostbite as best they could, he sent his Associate away to forge for roots. They always had better luck at it than he did. 

And now here they are. Aurora shivers. She clenches her teeth revealing a smile missing a few teeth and the rest filed to dull points. Perhaps they were razor-sharp some years ago. 

The door to the cabin creeks open and a gust of billows in. It nearly sweeps his Associate off balance but they hold their ground. Aurora jerks and tilts her head as much as she can to peer at them as they throw their body against the door to jam it closed. 

“Goddess! It’s colder than Pluto out there!” They remove their bag and toss it towards Jet. He catches it mid-air and rummages through it to pull out whatever goods they managed to find. Mostly roots. A single rogue mushroom… and acorns. Lots and lots of acorns. 

“I told you to stop scavenging for acorns.” Jet looks up at their Associate.

They hum, unwrapping their layered scarves. White hair spills down around their shoulders in long dreads. “Did you?”

“Yes. Last year when we met up at this cabin, I told you the cabbage tasted bad with the acorns.”

“And I seem to recall telling you the acorns tasted bad with the cabbage. I like acorn stew.” They approach Aurora’s cot and quickly pull off their goggles to wink at her. “My my, look who’s alive! How do you feel?”

“Never been better,” she rasps. “I feel like I can run a marathon. Sign me up for the next triathlon.” 

They laugh heartily while Jet sets about adding their forged goods to the stew. 

“A pretty face and a sense of humor. You’ve earned two points in my book. Do you have a name by chance?”

“Nobody that matters anymore.” At this, Jet does allow himself to smile. With his back turned at least neither of them can see his expression. 

“Ah, that got you to smile now, didn’t it Big Guy?” Well, at least Aurora couldn’t have known. He’s worked with his Associate for too long now. They know each other like two sides of the same coin. A loud thunk and Jet is reminded that they stashed their instrument under Aurora’s cot in a haste to address her injuries. “Well then Ms-Nobody-That-Matters, can’t you tell me who you were when you did?”

“Depends on who you are I suppose. Your Associate over there said you stole something very important from Hades. And based off those bandages on your hands, he was telling the truth.” Aurora hums setting off a chain reaction of humming around the room. Jet turns to face the both of them. Their Associate has made themself plenty comfortable on the ground in front of Aurora.

“What else did he tell you? Because my Associate was telling the truth. I did steal something important. I stole fire from the King.” 

“Why in Goddess name would you do that? You must either be incredibly smart to do such a dumb thing, have a death wish, or love to play stupid games.” 

They smile and Jet’s stomach drops. He never liked that smile. “Silver-tongued... I like you. Pleased to make your acquaintance Ms-Nobody, call me M’tendere. And you’d be right– about everything. Work for the Crown for as long as I have and you’ll do just about anything to push some buttons.”

“What, no title like your Associate the Unnatural Disaster?” 

They shake their head and reach out to brush a hand through Aurora’s hair. “‘Fraid not. Why’d you tell her that anyway, Jet? You haven’t gone by that in years.”

“Not within the last century yes. I needed to build trust with Aurora. Showing her my hand was the easiest thing to do.”

“Oh darling– it’s Buddy actually.” Aurora– or rather, Buddy– blinks sympathetically towards Jet. “I’m sorry for deceiving you.” 

“Don’t apologize to the Big Guy. Ever.” M’tendere strums the strings on their instrument. “Big Guy doesn’t think he’s worth apologies.” If it came from anyone else Jet might have been slightly hurt. Coming from M’tendere though it's just the truth. They pluck a few notes absent-mindedly humming the same tune they always do.

“M’tendere doesn’t apologize to me. Whether you do or not is your decision to make, Buddy.” Buddy… Buddy with the red hair… Jet’s eyes widen as a confounding puzzle from four months ago slots together. “Buddy… Buddy Aurinko? You're Palomine's daughter." It’s not a question. It’s a fact. A fact just like how Jet doesn’t accept apologies from M’tendere. 

Buddy opens her mouth to speak and without looking up M’tendere cuts in, "He's dead."

She scoffs, "No that can't be. I just saw him last year. I got a letter from him four months ago–"

"And now four months later,” Jet reigns the conversation away from M’tendere before they can run it. Having one person around to do all the talking was headache enough. He enjoyed Buddy’s chatter though, M’tendere’s less so. “We’re telling you he's dead. Trust me. He would not stop begging for his life. He even bargained for it with yours."

The warm atmosphere falls cold. The small fire that Jet has continued to tend to crackles and pops. M'tendere gets up and leaves their guitar on the ground. They get up to rummage through a cupboard, busying themself with a set of metal tools and glass bottles on a shelf. Buddy rubs the thin sheet covering her between two fingers.

"How do you know all this?"

"It's our job," M'tendere turns to face her. "The Big Guy and I lead lost souls down to Hades. We've been at this for a while now."

An abrupt laugh erupts from the cot. It breaches Buddy's mouth and sounds more like a wheeze then a laugh. More like a strangled sob then a breath. Jet glances at M'tendere. They share a long look and exchange a loose shrug. By the time Buddy gathers herself she closes her eyes and presses her lips together in a thin line. Her shoulders begin to shake.

"You should've let me take his place. You should've led me to Hadestown..."

What do you notice first in the mirror versus what most people first notice looking at you?

Fucking freckles

Probably my eyes, since half the time I'm in front of a mirror it's because I'm touching up my liner or something. Most other people probably clock the tattoos first, though.

How to double space in google docs : A Simple Guide

How to double space in google docs - In today's digital age, document formatting is an essential skill, whether you're a student, a professional, or anyone in between. One common formatting request is double spacing in documents, particularly in Google Docs. Double spacing enhances readability and provides ample space for annotations and comments. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps of how to double space in Google Docs effectively.

Table of Contents

- Introduction - Benefits of Double Spacing - Step-by-Step Guide - Adjusting Line Spacing - Implementing Double Spacing - Keyboard Shortcuts for Efficiency - Customizing Paragraph Spacing - Maintaining Consistency Throughout the Document - Collaborative Editing and Double Spacing - Double Spacing Footnotes and Endnotes - Troubleshooting Common Issues - Expert Tips for Document Formatting - Conclusion - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - Is double spacing the same as 2.0 line spacing? - Can I double space only a portion of my document? - Do all document sharing formats preserve double spacing? - What is the standard line spacing used in academic papers? - How do I revert to single spacing if needed?

Benefits of Double Spacing

Before we delve into the "how," let's understand the "why." Double spacing offers several benefits, especially in content-heavy documents. It enhances readability by providing ample space between lines, making it easier for readers to follow along. Moreover, double spacing provides room for annotations, comments, or corrections, which is particularly useful during the editing process.

Step-by-Step Guide

Adjusting Line Spacing To begin, open your Google Docs document. Go to the "Format" tab in the top menu, then select "Line spacing." A dropdown menu will appear, offering various spacing options. Choose "Custom spacing." Implementing Double Spacing In the "Custom spacing" dialog box, you'll see two options: "Line spacing" and "After paragraph." Adjust the "Line spacing" to "2.0" to achieve double spacing. You can leave the "After paragraph" option as is, or adjust it according to your preference. Click "Apply" to apply the changes to your document.

Keyboard Shortcuts for Efficiency

For those who love shortcuts, Google Docs offers a handy option. Press "Ctrl + 1" to set single spacing, and "Ctrl + 2" to set double spacing. This can significantly speed up your formatting process.

Customizing Paragraph Spacing

Sometimes, you may want to double space only a specific portion of your document. Highlight the text you want to modify, and follow the same steps as above to adjust the line spacing. This allows for a mix of single and double spacing within the same document.

Maintaining Consistency Throughout the Document

Consistency is key in document formatting. To ensure your entire document maintains double spacing, adjust the formatting settings before you begin typing. This way, you won't need to go back and reformat large sections.

Collaborative Editing and Double Spacing

Collaboration is seamless in Google Docs. If you're working with others on a document, changes to line spacing are automatically applied to everyone viewing the document. This ensures a uniform reading experience for all collaborators.

Double Spacing Footnotes and Endnotes

When dealing with academic or research documents, you might encounter the need for double spacing in footnotes and endnotes. To achieve this, simply adjust the line spacing within the footnote or endnote text.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you find that your line spacing changes unexpectedly or doesn't apply as intended, ensure that you've selected the correct text and followed the steps accurately. Sometimes, browser extensions or plugins can interfere with formatting, so try disabling them temporarily.

Expert Tips for Document Formatting

- Use Styles: Utilize predefined styles to maintain consistent formatting throughout your document. - Review Before Finalizing: Always review your document's formatting before finalizing and sharing. - Export with Care: When exporting to different formats, double-check that your double spacing is preserved.

Conclusion

Mastering document formatting, such as double spacing, is essential for creating professional and readable content. Google Docs offers straightforward tools to accomplish this task efficiently. By following our guide, you can effortlessly implement double spacing and enhance the visual appeal and readability of your documents.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1.Is double spacing the same as 2.0 line spacing? Double spacing refers to a line spacing setting of 2.0, which means there's one blank line between each line of text. 2.Can I double space only a portion of my document? Yes, you can. Highlight the text you want to double space, and adjust the line spacing settings for that selection. 3.Do all document sharing formats preserve double spacing? Most common document formats, like PDF and Word, should preserve double spacing if the format allows for it. 4.What is the standard line spacing used in academic papers? The standard line spacing for many academic papers is double spacing, which makes them easier to read and annotate. 5.How do I revert to single spacing if needed? Follow the same steps mentioned above, but set the line spacing to "1.0" or use the shortcut "Ctrl + 1" for single spacing. Read the full article

If you could be the best in one area, what would that area be?

Not accidentally murdering people would be great

Well, it would be cool to be able to be a ballerina in the American School of Ballet. So maybe that?

A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF ALL THE BUTTONS ON TUMBLR MOBILE FOR MY TWITTER REFUGES :)

i know a lot of fellow former twitter users are a bit confused by this app, so here’s some hopefully helpful tips!

this is what you should see at the bottom of the screen when making a new post

the first button (Aa) lets you change the size of your font into a bigger heading or subheading, or even make your text a cursive or times new roman type font

it also lets you make these bulleted lists! to use it, just tap multiple times until you get the setting you want

tap this button to add links, then just type the site name in the box and hit return. for example: http://heresalink.com

these are where you can add gifs, pictures, and music! for pictures, just tap the icon and select what you want, then you can press and drag to move it around or drag to the trashcan to delete

gifs are very similar to twitter - type in what you want and scroll through the options

GIF by taylorsnationblog

music is also similar. type the song you want and tap on it. podcasts also work!

this button is for polls! tap and add your silly little answers. the duration can be a day or a week

this button lets you make a “cut” in your posts which is basically a “read more” button. got a long post you don’t want cluttering up everyone’s dashes? click here!

lastly, this button lets you set content warnings! specifically this is for “mature content”, but when you click mature you can specify whether its due to drugs/alcohol, violence, or sexual content

this can be helpful to clue people in to potential triggers but PLEASE ALWAYS TAG YOUR SPECIFIC TRIGGERS ANYWAYS.

Other Helpful Tips

“highlight” your text by pressing and selecting like normal to unlock a bunch of cool formatting options including bold, strikethrough, and colors

hitting the three dots next to the post button lets you access a bunch of post settings like queuing posts, scheduling posts, saving drafts, making posts private (PLEASE NOTE: you cannot unprivate posts after, but you can share the link), and choosing who can reblog & who can pay to promote your content

CONGRATS you’re now ready to make better posts like a tumblr pro
