Weird to ask this here, but can anyone who's familiar with Tumblr tell me how to make a photo post with this sort of layout? I knew how to do it like eight years ago, but that way doesn't seem to be an option anymore. Alternately, if someone has an EASY tutorial on making an actual moodboard layout that'd be great.

Speaking of Tumblr, this method of blocking people on AO3 came across my dash the other day. Has anyone tried it? 

Second day of my attempts at adulting and... I don't think any resume work is going to happen today. Woke feeling sad and anxious. Couldn't even get out of bed until well after 8, which is very unusual for me. Still feeling like I'm 10 seconds (or less) from crying so I'm gonna take it easy on myself today.

A sinus headache has been plaguing me since Sunday and wow am I over it. Last night it got so bad I had to go to bed at 8:30. It's better this morning, but the tension has spread down to my shoulders. Time to break out the Tiger Balm I guess.

I got about 700 words written for the Hellbent prequel yesterday so let's see if I can lose myself in that for a little while today. Thanks to discussions with glymr yesterday it might have a title finally, but I'm giving it a little while to make sure it gels. I also got the PWP back from beta so here's hoping today's at least a good writing day.

I could not do without that AO3 extension! ♥ I also use AO3 personal hellban which is lovely because it means you never come across any comments from Known Knobs that set your blood boiling. Highly recommend the knob-free AO3 experience!

And congrats on 700 words! Each of them is a victory.

Is there anything I can send your way to give you a 10-second extension on the feeling like crying? *hugs*

[clevermanka]

Excellent! Good to know it's effective.

Thank you for the offer, bb! Since I don't think it's possible to send a door to Elsewhere through the post, good thoughts are always appreciated. ♥

UNIVERSE BE GOOD TO MANKA!!!!

Oh, I have ao3savior but I haven't tried this config! Gonna install it now...

[clevermanka]

Hope it works well for you!

I have not tried that AO3 blocking tool; I am pretty good at navigating the tags and avoiding most of what I don't want to see, but I'm glad that's an option out there.

How are your shoulders feeling? I hope today was kinder to you.

[clevermanka]

I'm fortunate to not need it (yet?), either, but yes, so good it's there. And too bad it's necessary.

Shoulders are better, thank you! I wish there was a way to roll out my shoulders and neck that didn't make me motion sick. *sigh*

For. Real.

Yes, i'm using ao3 personal hellban, too, and it works fine for me.

I like that there is a button with which i can let comments reappear. i only use it on my own works so I can be a nice person and reply to banned people if they leave nice comments on my work.



Yay for writing success! \o/

[clevermanka]

Yay indeed! It feels good to get fresh new words down again.

p.s. just in case you are still looking for an answer to that tumblr question... what exactly in photo post layout are you looking for? the usual option of just uploading/linking several images still works, and you can drag them around any way you like. I'm not quite sure what you want to do that's not covered by that?

[clevermanka]

Yes! Someone contacted me on Tumblr to say I had to load all the images first and then switch them around. Thank you!!!
