Okay but for anyone who legit wants to know how to calculate it correctly:

The elbow joint on average rests a couple inches higher than the navel, so if you measure how long the distance is from the middle of the shoulder to that point then you have the length of the upper and fore arms!

So if anyone’s wondering about legs too, the simplest rule of thumb is that the length from the top of the leg to the knee is equal to the distance between the top of the leg and the bottom of the pectorals:

And I wanna stress that when i say “top of the leg” i’m not talking about the crotch (please don’t flag me tumblr it’s an anatomical term) i’m talking about the point where the femur connects to the pelvis, which is higher up on the hips:

It’s easier to see what I’m talking about in this photo of a man squatting: 

So yeah if you use that measurement when using this technique you should get fairly realistically proportioned legs:

But remember! messing with proportions is an important and fun part of character design! Know the rules first so you can then break them however you please!

favorite presidential kid? probably alice roosevelt.

-her mother died two days after she was born and on the same day her maternal grandmother also died. teddy was so sad that he left his newborn daughter with his sister anna for two years and could never bring himself to say his wife’s name so alice who was named after her mother had to be called “lee”, her middle name.

-when teddy remarried, alice’s stepmom edith made it clear that she thought alice’s mom had been beautiful but dumb. when alice’s parents couldn’t handle her anymore, they sent her to her aunt anna’s. according to alice, “If auntie Bye had been a man, she would have been president”. alice claimed to feel one-sixth as loved as her five half-siblings.

-then alice got polio which at the time could kill, not to mention cripple. her stepmom put her through an uncompromising regimen of nightly forced wearing of torturous leg braces and shoes, which left alice with no trace of the disability and able to run up stairs and touch her nose with her toe well into her 80s.

-alice’s dad and stepmom tried to send her to a conservative girls’ school but alice wrote home, “If you send me I will humiliate you. I will do something that will shame you. I tell you I will”.

-when teddy became president in 1901, alice became an instant celebrity and fashion icon at age 17. she did scandalous things like smoking cigarettes in public, riding in cars with men, staying out late partying, keeping a pet snake (called emily spinach) in the white house, and placing bets with a bookie. 

-she even had a color - alice blue - and a song - alice blue gown - named after her. the press called her princess alice.

-during an imperial cruise to japan, alice jumped into a pool fully dressed and coaxed a congressman in to join her.

-one time a white house visitor commented on alice’s frequent interruptions in the oval office, usually with political advice. after the third interruption, teddy explained, “I can either run the country or I can attend to Alice, but I cannot possibly do both”.

-in february 1906, alice married congressman nicholas longworth and was the social event of the season. it was attended by more than a thousand guests and thousands gathered outside hoping for a glance of princess alice. she wore a blue wedding dress and cut the wedding cake with a sword.

-alice publicly supported her dad’s 1912 presidential candidate while her husband supported president taft. alice appeared on stage in her husband’s own district with her dad’s vp candidate. longworth lost by 105 votes and alice joked that she was worth at least 100 votes (meaning she was the reason he lost).

-alice’s campaign against her husband caused a friction in their marriage and longworth was known to be carrying on many affairs. it was also generally accepted knowledge in dc that alice had a long, ongoing affair with senator william borah, who by alice’s own admission was the father of her daughter, paulina. alice had a wicked sense of humor and had initially wanted to name her daughter deborah (as in de Borah).

-after the death of her daughter paulina in 1957, alice fought for and won custody of her granddaughter joanna. 

-in the 1950s, alice’s health began to fail her and she broke a hip. she also discovered she was suffering from breast cancer and had to have two mastectomies. in 1960, alice was diagnosed with emphysema. 

-alice was also a champion of rights for african-americans. one day, in 1965, alice’s african-american chauffeur and good friend, turner, was driving her to an appointment. turner pulled out in front of a taxi and the driver yelled at him, “What do you think you’re doing, you black bastard?” turner stayed calm but alice told the taxi driver, “He’s taking me to my destination, you white son of a bitch!”

-after many years of ill health, alice died of emphysema and pneumonia at age 96, outliving all five of her younger half-siblings.

-her most famous quote was, “If you haven’t got anything good to say about anybody, come sit next to me”. 

-when senator joseph mccarthy joked at a party, “Here’s my blind date. I am going to call you Alice”, she replied, “Senator McCarthy, you are not going to call me Alice. The trashman and the policeman on my block call me Alice, but you may not”. 

-she told president lyndon b. johnson that she wore wide-brimmed hats so he couldn’t kiss her.

-when a kkk member dressed in full costume asked her to trust his word, she said, “I never trust a man under sheets”.

so in summary, alice roosevelt longworth was badass.

this is her:

its really such an indescribable headspace going on long roadtrips in america (but not taking the scenic highways just using the interstates) like the road looks the same for hours. maybe you start driving into the mountains or you’re going out west and you go from plains to mountains to desert, but for the most part it just looks like trees and two stretches of asphalt for as far as you can see. you pull off at an exit to get something to eat or to get gas and it looks the same as every interstate exit you’ve ever been to. the stores might be different, maybe theres a burger king here where there was a mcdonalds at the last one. maybe its a different gas station chain. there’s a few strip malls but no two have the exact same stores. but it’s all the same. it all feels the same. there is no true sensory indication of where you are. you are both nowhere and anywhere.

The toll road highways out east are their own style of liminal space to me, all the more so since they don’t have exits/entrances every mile or whatnot like the ones I’m used to. They’re their own system, you get on and off where there’s a batch of toll booths, and in between they have their own rest area/gas station/travel plaza things that just serve the freeway. It’s its own fucked-up little world and you register to get on and you pay to get off and you just fling yourself onto this weird self-propelled, drawn-out transporter beam of a road in one state and surface in another, mildly unhinged by the experience of getting there and blinking confusedly as the real world reasserts itself, hoping you’re in the same universe as the one you started in.

A thought that arises from the idea of tiefling babies often ending up being abandoned: A rich tiefling adventurer retiring and starting up a tiefling orphanage that takes care of rejected tiefling babies and children.

A thought that arises from the idea of a tiefling orphanage: the rich tiefling adventurer regretting his initiative of filling a mansion with dozens of little devils that all can cast Thaumaturgy. At will.

Oh Boy. :’D

Personally I headcanon that tiefling magic starts to manifest around puberty, but if that wasn’t the case, they’d just have to suck it up and tiefling baby-proof the hell out of the place. B) Have no vases and stuff that might fall over and break during tremors. Have sturdy furniture. Lock doors and windows. Avoid having open flames around. Shove cotton or something into your ears.

Oh yeah, and some of the babies might in that case be able to cast friends, minor illusion, ray of frost, or mage hand. Could result in chaos…

My next one shot is definitely going to be “A party of tiefling babies escape from the orphanage (to go to the candy shop)”

Oh my fuck. I legit NEED to play (or run?) that one-shot now

Fun fact about these security checks!

Whether you can correctly identify all the right tiles isn’t the important part here, it’s about how quickly you do it.

See, the purpose is to check if you are a computer/bot or if you’re a person. A bot would, when prompted, “snap” to the correct tiles, finishing the check within fractions of a second. A person, however, will take at least a little bit of time to process and decide which to click - even then fastest person would still take a few seconds to select all of them.

TL;DR you don’t have to be perfectly accurate to pass this, you just have to be human!

You are a fucking saint.

A goyische friend asked, in the light of the Chabad shooting, what he can do. My immediate response was that he could volunteer to act as a door greeter at his local synagogue, which in retrospect sounded like ‘put yourself in the line of fire with us’, but going to synagogue shouldn’t BE putting oneself in the line of fire. It should be an act of love and commitment and community.

Do you want to know what you can really do to help, though? We’ve got killers referencing “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” in all seriousness. Can we agree, as a group, that jokes coming from it aren’t cool? Can we stop perpetuating the antisemitic canards?

This means:

  • No secret lizard people jokes. These come via David Icke, who proposed that Zionists were reptilian aliens hiding among real people.
  • No Illuminati/‘secret cabal of bankers, media moguls and politicians running the world’ commentary. This is also often a dogwhistle for ‘them rich Jews run everything!’
  • Diligence to avoid promoting the blood libel–the ancient lie that Jewish people kill Christian babies for our matzah, or other lies that make us out as predators who seek the blood of our enemies.
  • Shut down Holocaust denial. Do I need to explain this one further?

A detailed list of antisemitic canards ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitic_canard ) can be found on Wikipedia. If you hear these come up, whether it’s at work or at home, with older people who ‘just don’t know any better’ or your children, please shut this shit down. It is literally getting people killed.

Excuse me Rinpoche I have SEVERAL QUESTIONS!!!

1. The Buddha kills people??? And it’s just…fine??? 2. Why didn’t they just give the robber the money and/or disarm him, thus solving the problem without death??? 3. WHY DO BEINGS OF PERFECT COMPASSION NEED DAY JOBS??? WHERE ARE THEY GOING??? IS THERE SOME SORT OF BODHISATTVA CONVENTION THEY ALL MAN BOOTHS AT???

1. (And also 2) No, he goes to hell afterwards! For a bit. Also Rinpoche explains that this decision requires omniscience to make sense, as in, the Buddha could tell that there wasn’t another way to get the robber to not kill everyone, because perception of everyone’s karma. This may seem a shit narrative in that light but it’s very much a “way to act only in situations where you really do know what’s gonna happen” story. And while we might encounter those much less often than a being with prescience, we do encounter them. Sometimes we really know someone’s gonna do harm, and have no non-violent way to prevent them. But it’s still violence, and it’s still gonna create the negative habits in one’s mind that Buddhism posits are one of the consequences of violence! We just accept those consequences, rarely.

3. “Bodhisattva” just means someone who’s on the path to Buddhahood! There are, because this is Buddhism, various levels of Bodhisattva, possessing qualities from perfect compassion for all beings, perfect generosity, diligence, wisdom, etc. But to call someone a Bodhisattva doesn’t mean they don’t have to eat, pay rent, or, like, be a person. Some Bodhisattvas are these shiny symbolic god-like beings, but not most. I guess that if “there are people with perfect compassion in the world” isn’t a given for you, that would seem sort of weird, but, like, I know people with perfect compassion, and they def eat food. Especially popular in Tibet are stories of the Mahasiddhas, early Indian practitioners who had a variety of ordinary or demeaning jobs - potter, prostitute, undertaker, farm laborer, etc - and by applying the teachings in their daily lives demonstrated that you didn’t have to be a monk to perfect your ethics and serve others. So that’s a bit of the Bodhisattvas with jobs background!

this is so far out of my cultural experience (of secular American Christianity and American humanistic non-committal neopaganism) that it might as well be on Mars

so, wait, if anyone can take this vow, and there’s no immediate obligation to be perfect at it, because you have lots of lifetimes anyway, and you don’t even have to go be a religious leader to be good at it…why doesn’t everyone take this vow???

Well, because if you’re actually seriously committing to try acting for the benefit of all sentient beings, and having compassion for their suffering, and breaking down the concepts you’ve built up that divide the people you like from those you don’t, your friends from your enemies, while still having a realistic view of the world and valuing yourself as another being deserving of compassion…. that is hard

Like, it is difficult! And, lots of people don’t even believe in the set of moral premises I just laid out! Also, the whole “you have lots of lifetimes” thing is a bit false, since a human birth and the opportunities for creating benefit that it brings is very rare.

However, literally all Mahayana Buddhists do, actually, take a Bodhisattva vow. So, also, lots of people do take it :)

Oh hey I think I mentioned this before but the final volume came out this week so 

Hey everybody you should read The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells! Starts with All Systems Red, then Artificial Condition, Rogue Protocol, and finally Exit Strategy

It’s about a SecUnit that hacked its core programming and went rogue, but kept the same day job because change is scary and instead uses its newfound freedom to watch tv during downtime and occasionally ignore especially stupid orders from the stupid humans it’s supposed to be keeping alive. But then one day the stupid humans that rented it for security on their stupid survey mission end up in serious danger so Murderbot has to actually take its job seriously for once before they realize it’s gone rogue and wipe its brain (rogue SecUnits tend to leave behind body counts in the high dozens so The Company is understandable wary of such things). Then things get worse when the whole rest of the security system gets hacked by attackers, and only the fact that Murderbot stopped bothering to install software updates years ago saves them, so now there’s no way to get out of this without getting discovered, and also somebody is trying to kill them all, and to make matters worse these stupid doomed humans keep forcing Murderbot to care about them.

The later books expand out from that premise but [spoilers]. Just know that it’s super high quality sci fi, with good action on the side, and that Murderbot is what the kids call… relatable. Also the most realistic depiction of an anxiety disorder I’ve ever read.

The thing about emo (as a musical genre and a cultural phenomenon) is, I think, that it was a response to the September 11, 2001 terror attacks and the Bush administration’s painful mishandling thereof.

No, I’m serious. My Chemical Romance was formed as a direct result of Gerard Way witnessing the towers fall. Green Day’s ‘American Idiot’ (an album that, at least as far as I can tell from having been a teenager in Canada at the time, was seminal in influencing the look and sound of emo) is all about the Bush administration - all the lyrics are about life under a democratic dystopia and many reference current events from the time - and it came out in 2004, halfway through the Bush presidency. A bunch of Linkin Park’s stuff makes reference to it also, especially their album ‘Minutes to Midnight’, where they first started moving out of the nu-metal/rap sound they’d been working with before and into a more mainstream emo-rock sound. That album came out in 2007. All of the really big bands with that kind of sound - and most of the smaller ones with more of a punk/hardcore sound but similar themes - were active in the mainstream from around 2001-2010. Many of them didn’t survive past 2009, and those that did either totally reinvented themselves (Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, MCR for the five minutes it took to produce Danger Days, Linkin Park) or became near-totally irrelevant (Paramore dropped an album sometime in the last two years; did any of you know that? And Green Day haven’t mattered since 21st Century Breakdown, which was released in 2009).

Why? Well, many of you are probably too young to remember this, but the 2001 terror attacks were what really made ‘Islamic terrorism’ a real threat in the minds of most Westerners. We’d never experienced an attack of that scale on American soil, and it was just as the internet was really becoming a mainstay in every house and my generation was getting online. As a result, it was not only a major political event, but it was hugely personal - the coverage was everywhere, in everybody’s home, all the time, and there were a lot of kids being exposed to the coverage in such a way that they often had no good way to process it. I’m not exaggerating when I say it changed the way we live. I’m Canadian and I felt this shit. Before, we could fly to America domestic, without a passport. Now? Half the draconian, ridiculous rules that hold you up at the TSA today were initiated in September and October of 2001. It was the only thing anyone could think of to do - lock down, protect your own. People were scared, on a continental scale.

And to make matters worse, George W. Bush’s government, which had to somehow respond to and take point in the response to this unprecedented event, didn’t seem to have the first foggiest clue what they were doing. This was a government that not only didn’t seem to listen to its people, not only lied blatantly to its people, but did it badly. They made hugely unpopular decisions, including starting a war in the Middle East that dragged in multiple countries and completely failed to achieve its stated goal of catching Osama bin Laden or proving that he had in his control weapons of mass destruction (the whole war was predicated on the fact that these so-called weapons of mass destruction existed, that the Bush administration had good reason to believe that they existed, were under the control of the Taliban, and were going to be used against Western targets, none of which was ever proven to be true).

So, from 2001-2009, the two (TWO) full terms of the Bush presidency, there were a whole lot of people who couldn’t vote (be they under the age of majority, like most of the emo kids I knew, or Canadians unhappily dragged along with the US’ boneheaded foreign policy decisions because we’re allies, also like most of the emo kids I knew) and therefore felt, not only scared of basically the impending end of their world in a way that they hadn’t previously had to feel, and not only angry about being clearly lied to and clumsily manipulated when the truth was obvious to anyone with eyes, but also powerless to do anything to change anything about that. And meanwhile, people kept dying in this pointless war and the president kept trying to hold together the illusion that everything was hunky-dory.

And what was popular with teenagers from about 2001-2009? Yep. Emo.

Emo as a genre was very personal, very focused on the individual (with the exception of the albums I noted above), but lyrically and musically, it fit right with the cultural atmosphere of the time. People were scared of the impending end of their world/their lives? Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge and The Black Parade. People were angry about things they felt powerless to change? From Under The Cork Tree and Decemberunderground. Emo captured what kids were feeling about trying to fit into a world that was so clearly fucked up and broken and pretending to be okay, putting on a strong face to Show The Terrorists They Didn’t Win. Emo was about stripping away the mask, exposing the messy, angry, frightened, sad, true underbelly of American society at the time, and exposing hypocrisy - in individuals as much as in politicians. The hatred of ‘preps’ and ‘posers’? Totally not just a My Immortal thing. Emo was about wearing your heart on your sleeve, about it being okay to mourn, to rage, to be afraid for your life beyond this - and to keep moving forward regardless, step by slow step.

So what changed in 2009 that made the phenomenon fade without so much as a whimper? Simple. Hope. The Audacity of Hope, to be exact.

Barack Obama won his presidency largely because young people supported him. Those were the young people who suffered through feeling helpless and powerless under Bush, who wanted things to change but felt they had no chance of making it so. Barack Obama was a chance. One of his first campaign promises was to end the Iraq war, a promise he followed through on. And even if his presidency hasn’t been perfect, it has never been the Bush administration, with the feeling that the will of the people was being entirely and quietly ignored by those in power to further their own agendas.

What I am saying, then, I guess, is that it’s time to buy stocks in Hot Topic, because whatever happens in the upcoming US presidential election, there are a lot of young people who may soon be needing black, white, and red graphic band tees and Manic Panic hair dye.

From someone who was in American high school in 2001, we were also incredibly terrified for at least the early Bush years. We were all pretty sure that the draft could possibly be reinstated and we could get sucked into the war. Some of my friends and I had plans on how best to get Don’t Ask, Don’t Telled out of the draft. We were all absolutely terrified of the prospect.

tbh I feel like a lot of us in our early/mid 20s who had an “emo” phase are going back (or just listening to more of) music from that part of our lives. and for the life of me I can’t figure out if it’s because we’re just at that age where we can be nostalgic for early teenager angst or if it’s because of the crushing global angst we’re all now very much aware of.

Huh. This is interesting

Yeah, I started listening to American Idiot again. At first I was like nostalgia. Then I blinked , listened, and was like no actually relevance.

I think there is a little bit of nostalgia though, but it’s not for teen angst. It’s because I know I was able to put these albums away before. I remember that things got better. So if we fight, things will get better again.

Since I already brought up my university’s chaplain once today, I thought I’d share with you the best advice he ever gave me.

If someone is suffering and you want to help, instead of saying “let me know if there’s anything I can do,” offer a few options of things you know you can do.

“Can I do your dishes while you study for your exam?”

“Would it help if I came to the waiting room with you?”

“I can distract you if you like.”

When someone’s suffering, making them choose how to be helped can sometimes be an extra burden, especially if they don’t know how serious your offer is. By giving examples, they only need to say yes/no, and they know you wouldn’t offer anything too big for you to handle.

Someday I’m going to actually write out this fractured essay in my head about how important “home bases” in fiction are to me (whether that’s a literal home or an office or a secret hideout or even a vehicle in the right circumstances).  

I am very serious when I say that these places are characters to me, just as much as any of the living, breathing human (or nonhuman) characters in the story and once I get attached their loss affects me on an equally visceral level. And, in fact, a creator’s decision to destroy or abandon that “home base” can affect my interest in continuing to emotionally invest in a story just as much as when they cavalierly kill off a character for shock value. 

And someday I will figure out how to put down all my Thoughts on that.

But it is not this day, apparently. 

I do wonder how much of it is that the way that the creator treats that “home base” can be a stand-in or indicator for how much I trust them to deliver emotionally satisfying resolution in other areas of the story. How far I’m willing to go along, trusting they’re actually building something here, not just blowing promising/important stuff up because they got bored (or feared others might).

That definitely plays a part, I think, because just like actual character deaths, and injury, peril, and other such disruption and drama with people and relationships, those things can form a good and necessary (and enjoyable!) part of storytelling.

However, I feel like when an author too easily destroys or abandons that “home base” concept, it can be a sign that they’re not really committed to developing other core elements (character relationships, character arcs, key dynamics of what I enjoyed to begin with) and therefore are likely to discard rather than develop and grow those as well. Some creators are really great at setting up concepts, but seem to have no idea what to actually do with them once they’re there.

I love adventure and drama and peril and suffering and struggle in a story and will gladly come through a whole lot of sadness… if I can trust that the author will bring it to a good place in the end and is going for more than cheap Drama Points, intending to just leave all the good and promising things broken and scattered in their wake while they move on to bigger, more exciting Events. In which case -

imageimage

But yeah. It’s not just about trusting the author with other aspects of the story. Because a good setting is a character too and eventually I’m gonna untangle those thoughts enough to put some into words. 

A home base is so important to the characters. It’s a place to rest, a place to demonstrate to the reader that there is more to the characters that the Struggle.

Denying the characters that also denies the audience that respite. A story may careen headlong through so much action that Michael Bay might tell you that excessive but is there is no rest, no reader will want to finish the story.

But apparently everything else said in this post is absolutely spot on.

Reblogging for the excellent addition.

That’s definitely another aspect of it!

The home base represents to varying degrees rest, relief, recovery, safety, a chance for everyone to take a breather and take stock of the situation. Violating that, having it damaged, having a villain come in and harm them or take something from them in a place where they thought they were secure, or otherwise threatening that space can have a POWERFUL effect and that can be very, very good storytelling. 

Used effectively (as mentioned by someone else in the tags), it can also be a really excellent metaphor for the characters’ own emotional/physical state. But just like conflict between characters is a good and important aspect of storytelling, but incessant interpersonal conflict put in just for the sake of making things interesting, without ever allowing for resolution/repair/growth/etc., can wear your audience as well as your characters, denying the audience that respite in this context can be an issue too.

Again, it’s just one aspect of the issue, and absolutely, it can be used well in storytelling (I’m not saying that creators shouldn’t ever destroy the home base), but it needs to be considered seriously.

Ah the free market at work. (Similar to when I went to CVS to pickup a 90$ prescription and they had their own generic version for 7.99).

This is important! Tell your Friends.

I can’t believe some insurances quit covering them 😐

From Slate:

The generic Adrenaclick will cost $109.99 for two doses, compared with $649.99 for the same amount of drug in an EpiPen. That’s good news, both for financial and safety reasons: STAT reported last year that some parents and institutions had begun filling up syringes with epinephrine as a cost-cutting measure, a DIY solution that could pose great risk to the children who may have eventually needed injections. A more affordable alternative will help ensure safer epinephrine injections.

That’s assuming, though, that the people who need these devices know exactly what to ask for when they’re sitting in their doctors’ offices. Otherwise, they’ll still be stuck with the overpriced product. Here’s why: The mechanism by which Adrenaclick injects the drug is slightly different from EpiPen’s mechanism, so the Food and Drug Administration has ruled that the two are not therapeutically equivalent. That distinction is important because it means a prescription for an EpiPen cannot be filled with Adrenaclick. If you want the cheaper option, you have to have an Adrenaclick prescription.

You must ask your doctor for an Adrenaclick prescription! 

I also found a coupon from Impax on 0.15mg and 0.3mg epinephrine injection, USP auto-injectors, which appear to be the generic version of Adrenaclick; these coupons cover up to $100 per pack for 3 packs of these injectors (6 total injectors).

Some customers may be automatically eligible for $100 off the retail price thus only paying $10 for a pack, but this may be good backup for those who for whatever reason do not meet those requirements.
