Given the misinformation that's been going around and will be going around, thought this might be helpful to some people

For a lot of reasons, I'm very good at this/at searching, to the point where I have worked as a professional fact-checker for two different publishers. So, here goes:

My Article Fact-Checking Protocol

Thorough Version

Read the full article. Keep an eye out for emotionally loaded words, and all-or-nothing language

Keep an eye out or anything that sounds too good to be true, and in contrast, anything that sounds so awful it must be true

Run the website/source through the amazing Media Bias/Fact Check. They'll tell you about a publication's bias and history of accuracy

Go to the website's home page and read through the headlines. Look at what topics they cover/prioritize, sensationalist headlines, and whether they're framing anything in a way that feels odd/off to you

Do a search related to the topic. This can be keywords, a question, or even just copy-paste the article title (Recommended: use DuckDuckGo so the results don't change based on what Google thinks they can sell you)

If multiple highly credible sources that say the same thing pop up, and there's no major societal biases that might affect the coverage of the topic in those sources (e.g. anything related to the Israel-Palestine conflict/Palestinian genocide, no matter which side), then I'm done!

If there are major societal biases, or I can't get a consensus of sufficiently credible sources, then I do some combination of:

(1) search the topic again + the words "controversy" and/or "fake"

(2) search the opposite of the topic, or do some sort of other filtered search

(3) look up a sufficiently credible news outlet with the opposite point of view of my source, and see what they have to say

(4) if it's a big enough topic, start by looking up 2 of the top national papers and 1 major paper for your region (I usually do the ones in the US, because that's where I am In the US: the LA Times, the Washington Post, and the NY Times)

Adjust "news" to "relevant type of source, e.g. tech, environmental" as relevant for all of the above options

If no red flags come up, and it's a topic I understand enough to smell huge bullshit,

Then I'm usually done!

If there are red flags, or I actually need a certain amount of detail/understanding, then it gets more complicated, but that would be a whole other thing to break down and such

or

tl;dr

Quick Version

Read the full article. Keep an eye out for emotionally loaded words, and all-or-nothing language

Keep an eye out or anything that sounds too good to be true, and in contrast, anything that sounds so awful it must be true.

If I don't know the website:

Run the website/source through the amazing Media Bias/Fact Check. They'll tell you about a publication's bias and history of accuracy

If I trust the source, but something else pinged my radar:

Do a quick web search to verify anything that sounds suspicious or too good/bad to be true (Recommended: use DuckDuckGo)

Visualization for Self Shippers

Sit somewhere comfortably.

Close your eyes

Take five deep breaths– deep, slow breaths. 

When you inhale, let your breaths fill down to your stomach. 

Purse your lips and exhale slowly. Twice as long as you took to inhale.

As you move forward, continue to take long, slow breaths.

You are sitting on your F/O's lap.

It's not the back of your chair that you feel behind you. It's your F/O's chest supporting you.

How does their body feel against yours? Is it strong and firm? Slim and bony? Soft and plush?

Take a moment to enjoy the sensation of sitting with your back against your F/O, their body supporting yours.

Take another breath, and exhale it slowly.

Feel your F/O reach around your body to cradle you in their arms.

Feel the sensation of their arms enclosing you, holding you.

Feel the place on your body where your F/O gently rests their hands.

Consider your F/O's hands. What do they feel like against you? Are they big and powerful? Are they slim and delicate? Are they warm, or cool?

Let your F/O hold you for a long moment in their comforting presence.

Take another long breath and exhale slowly.

Let your F/O's hands move gently over your body. Feel the tingle of their fingers as they slide over you.

Feel your F/O's hand rest on your cheek and cup it gently.

Take another long breath and exhale it slowly.

Let your F/O lean over your shoulder, and kiss your neck, or your cheek or ear.

Feel the sensation of their lips against your flesh. How do they kiss you? Is it soft and fluttering? Is it firm and moist? Is it rough and hungry?

Let your F/O kiss you for a while as you rest your body against the support of their chest.

Linger awash in the comforting sensation of your F/O, breathing in and out.

Let your F/O squeeze you one more time, feeling the force of their body holding yours.

Then let them release you. Open your eyes, and stand up, feeling their support for you.

So, uh.... how about that Kendrick vs. Drake Rap Beef 2024?!?!?!??!!?

In all seriousness, I had a mentally ugly April and so I want to thank the early May nuke that was Meet The Grahams blowing up my Twitter feed for getting me back on track. Sometimes you gotta pop out and hyperfixate on something really fucking different to get your brain back on track, which it did. The final draft of the next chapter is ready and waiting, and now I just need to get rid of all the goddamn rust and dust clogging up my arting gears.

I've done and posted multiple iterations of these designs through the years and they're buried in the archives but at some point I have to commit. That point is right now. I have to commit because these are going to be my visual guides for the next act of the story. Man, I hope I can pull this off. I want Din's look to be red for Aq Vetina and made up of scraps while he continues on his quest to rebuild himself. And I want Luke to have SOME color of some fucking kind and also I got tired of capes and thought the contrast to Din would be fun.

Grogu has some tweaks too but I need to stop dawdling and start thumbnailing for the chapter that is waitingwaitingwaiting for launch day so his little "design sheet" will come later. And once the chapter goes live, I'll spend the rest of the summer getting the pop-up shop up and running for pre-orders. Hopefully. Definitely. For sure.

In early celebration of my Saurondriel/Haladriel fanfic "THE TRIALS OF MAIRON" turning two years old on October 14th, I have assembled a little commemorative Visual Guide.

Most of the images in the full 16-page guide were created using prompts from the fic and an AI-image generator to get as close to what I had in my head when writing as possible. It aims to serve as a visual aid for first time and returning readers to be consulted throughout the read if so desired. As such, it contains SPOILERS for the entire fic.

(Re-)Read the fic here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/42374703/chapters/106411167

Thanks for everyone who has re-read or started to read the fic in the wake of the second season, I've been getting a lot of really sweet new comments and that inspired me to put this together. I hope you like it <3

You’re greeted by a crash when you arrive at Kuras's clinic. The room's trashed. Vere freezes, elbows deep in a cabinet.

“I was looking for the candy. He hides the good stuff,” Vere assures you as he pockets several vials. He doesn't explain the bite marks in the furniture.

[canisalbus]

i dont know if this is a strange compliment but the way you dissect art is so amazing and something i can only aspire to do one day. you pick up on every little symbolism its wonderful! hope youre having a good day btw!

Oh, thank you! It's so nice to hear you think so!

I don't know about picking up on every little symbolism, but I really like art and I like talking about art. I'm just trying to look at it thoughtfully and (in some cases) do my best to let the artist know I paused to appreciate and ponder the piece.
