Das Deutsche Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) hat die Wirksamkeit von Stoffmasken untersucht.

" Das Ergebnis: Masken haben eine deutlich positive Wirkung, obwohl kleine Aerosole sie durchdringen können. Sie lenken die Atemluft um & verlangsamen die Verteilung von Aerosolen im Raum."

Ich kann die Menschen, die gemein zu dir sind, nicht für dich kurz und klein schlagen. Aber dir heißen Kakao in die Hand drücken, dich in eine Decke einwickeln und dir eine Katze auf den Schoß setzen, das kann ich.

Does someone know on here if there is something like a gallery for Krita Brushes? I know that on the official website of krita, there are a few listed. And deviantArt has a few (which are now nearly impossible to find - thanks to the redesign a few month ago)

My advice if you ever work for free for anyone: write them an invoice with the REAL value, and then add a 100% discount.
Even when you work for free, you want people to know that this work has value, some real one :)

Le Capy du Soir

#TeamCapy // #Capybara

it's my birthday on friday!

so of course i put up a bundle of all my books on Itch for a special price. (you can also get just one of them on sale if you have the others)

https://itch.io/s/34926/jlps-45th-birthday-bundle

the bundle contains two novels and two short fiction collections. they're all really different from each other!

if you prefer print (and the print editions are lovely, if i do say so myself) you can get them on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Jennifer-Lyn-Parsons/e/B008A5Z8YA

Does anybody want a cute little black cat? She is friendly and reasonably well behaved. My girlfriend picked her up off the street. She does not have any health issues, but may be pregnant and so can't be spayed or vaccinated and you also may actually be receiving several cats if you take her. I understand that it is not an overly appealing offer but she will likely be headed to a shelter soon if we can't find another home for her. We are in Rochester, NY

good morning fediverse°

I want to share this image that I stole from twitter and in which an unknown to me artist tells you all what music I like:

#Berlin people: Wanna help with my bra? Wait, it's not what you think of... I never had a good bra, they never really fit somehow and i think i just don't know what i need. Does anybody know of a safe place i as a non-binary trans person could go to to get checked and fitted? A shop, a specific person in a shop you know maybe, even a sex shop if it's possible there. Anything is good.

Please boost, thank you.

When I was a teenager I was told by a more experienced writer that you needed an anthropology degree to write high fantasy or nobody would enjoy or believe your world.

I am *really really glad* I was able to shake the feeling of shame and inadequacy that gave me.

My worlds are messy and silly, sure, but they still have value.

I've been working really hard the past couple of weeks building a new stats system for my web game Improbable Island.

It's a text adventure at https://www.improbableisland.com, there's a lively roleplaying community, player-owned places (with a programming engine!), hundreds of pages of story and no ads/tracking/nastystuff. We've had problems getting new players 'cause the places we used to advertise are all going offline, so if y'all could help me out with a boost that'd be much appreciated

Just because your book is low conflict doesn't mean it can't have Giant Cosmic Horror Space Mermaids

Remember, if you boop a furry's nose and scritch behind the left ear simultaneously, they take a screenshot.

I'm trying to educate my cis self.

Trans folks, what terminology do you prefer to use when talking about surgical procedures relating to your gender?

Can we please, please – PLEASE! not make the nonsensical US date format month/day/year the default in applications? 🤦‍♂️

PRE 👏 TTY 👏 PLEASE

And to all users of that format: it makes no sense, it's counter-intuitive, it makes collaboration frustrating, it introduces inconsistencies and errors... Just stop. Please. Use international standards.
(And don't get me started on your other units of weights, volumes and distances. Bloody hell.)

Boost if I'm right.
