Here’s what Donald Trump doesn’t want you to know: ACA open enrollment begins TODAY!

Spread the word and #GetCovered.

Also, the time to enroll has been CUT IN HALF. They tried to kill off the ACA, but could only manage to damage it.

*****You have until Dec. 15! Don’t delay!*****

healthcare.gov GO GO GO

Reminder: the deadline is December 15

I did this last year and inexplicably turned out to be eligible for Medicaid in WV, which I STILL have. Absolute and total lifechanger that’s letting me go to school instead of having to work full time. 

#signal boost#i know the original tweet is dated 2017 but the enrolment dates are the same!#november 1 to december 15#i got confused and thought i was reblogging something outdated#but this goes for 2019 coverage!

Copying @xfreischutz‘s tags because it was a really good point. The dates for now are the same as last year. Get out there and get you your health insurance!

(Personal note: I qualified for Medicaid in Pennsylvania last year and I wasn’t expecting it. It really does help if you do it.)

NOTE – the Trump administration has allowed the sale of short term and catastrophic coverage plans. DO NOT BUY THESE. THEY WILL NOT HELP YOU. THEY ARE PREDATORY.

Make sure, if you qualify for ACA coverage, that you are purchasing a plan that is at least Silver tier!

!! ENDS DECEMBER 15 !!

Apparently there is a camp in Marvel HQ pushing for Loki to go back to being the main villain in the Thor books

This makes me nervous. I was never really interested in the camp villain they had him as for a lot of the older books (especially like the 80s and 90s) and it would be a terrible ending and moral for the Journey Into Mystery and Agent of Asgard runs with kid and teen!Loki that were arguing that no one is born evil and that fate can’t make us do bad things if we don’t want to. 

this was literally the bad guy in Agent of Asgard

Haha cool this literally makes me feel sick

towerofglass:

Is now a bad time to mention I actually don’t hate this site? I hate the owners. Hate the staff. Hate the incompetence of whoever is in charge here.

But I love the site, love the format, love my mutuals, my followers and all of the amazing content creators here. I don’t know what I’ll replace this with if anything.

Resizing images for phones at ao3

cesperanza:

Went out to brunch with @elizabethminkel​ who didn’t know that you could resize images at the ao3 so that they don’t look insane on a phone, which I didn’t know how to do either until @albymangroves​ taught me, so at her request I pass on alby’s excellent directions for anyone looking to put art on the a03 and not have it look terrible.  Basically you have to make a work skin, which is easier than it sounds:

* go to your AO3 dashboard and look at the left sidebar–the last option
in the top grouping (after Dashboard | Profile | Pseuds | Preferences)
is “Skins” and clicking that will take you to a screen where you can click
the button that says “My Work Skins.”

* Under “My Work Skins” if you don’t have any set up yet it will have a
link that says something like “Why not try making one?” and you can click
there to get the form. Name it something useful and obvious like “Resize
images for Speranza’s works” and then paste in this little piece of code in the CSS box:

#workskin img {
 max-width: 90%;
 height: auto;
}

*Then scroll down to “Submit” the skin. After that, it should be
available in the drop down next to Select Work Skin whenever you go to post a
new work (or edit an existing work, if you forget to do it when you first
post!) 

This particular version of the code, as you can see, tells it to scale the
image to 90% of whatever the screen size is, with the height scaling
automatically along with width so the image doesn’t get squished or stretched.
You can set that percentage to a slightly different number, but
90% works pretty well!

I originally posted this on Tumblr Nov. 30, because I was obsessing over getting something new up during November, and I said I’d probably edit, title, and repost it the next day, and instead it took me a week and a half because of course it did. but hey, at least it’s there now. (will Tumblr cooperate this time with tagging @loxxxlay? guess we’ll see!)

deviantART, Google, etc’s TOS

mikkeneko:

hanzotitty:

Everyone is panicking over TOS-es right now as they find a new home as Tumblr gets flushed down the toilet. I don’t like those random TOS breakdowns because the analysis is always wrong. 

Anyway this is what people pay me to do and I will now do it for $0 because I’m tired of everyone spreading misinformation. This post is not a substitute for legal advice etc. Reblogs are appreciated because I literally see TOS nonsense on my dash every day. 

Any more experienced copyright lawyers please feel free to weigh in – it’s part of my field yes, but my wheelhouse is more film production COT rather than derivative works.

Google Drive (TOS)

  • Google doesn’t have rights to do whatever they want to files you upload to Google Drive
  • Their TOSes are annoyingly broad in drafting but essentially boilerplate clauses that they need to host your work, use google translate on it, make it searchable etc. They cannot steal your fanfic. They cannot modify your art and use it for whatever.
  • Your work MAY be threatened (that is, deleted) thanks to FOSTA/SESTA, which imo is a clown provision signed by a clown that sent safe harbour down the toilet. This and this has more information (I’ve skimmed but not perused both), but the tl;dr is: similar to Tumblr, there was a ham-fisted attempt to protect victims of sex trafficking and all it really did was make cloud based services start deleting user files whether relevant or not. 

deviantART (Submission Policy) (TOS)

AO3 (TOS)

  • Yum. I like this one. Easy to read and clearly explained for most people with basic reading comprehension. Section G – What We Do With Content will tell you everything you need to know.
  • Basically, they have the same clauses about you granting AO3 a license to modify/apart/etc you work, but they take the trouble to explain to you exactly what that means, and how they use it to improve accessibility etc. 
  • No history of content purges as far as I know. Explicit content is allowed with limits eg. no child porn. 

WordPress (TOS)

  • Same deal – you’re looking for 1. WordPress – Responsibility of Contributors, with the exact same thing as everybody else. They also do a decent job of explaining what they use the license for (though once again, it’s standard), albeit not as beautifully as AO3. 
  • However, images of sexual acts (including fanart) are against TOS.
  • I found no history of content purges.

Dreamwidth (TOS)

  • Same old standard licensing clause, again doesn’t let them steal your stuff.
  • Incredibly…open content policies…you can basically do whatever you want so long as you don’t break laws or commit fraud it seems? If I’m wrong, feel free to correct.

Hope this helps. Feel free to force me to read and explain any other site TOS documents. Again, more experienced copyright lawyers, feel free to correct me if I clowned up somewhere.

reblogging as a correction to my last post re DevArt, although since
DevArt

still doesn’t allow adult art, still not a great alternative to tumblr

I’m…like 99% sure there was stuff I needed to do this weekend and didn’t

I can’t actually remember what most of it was, since I did make some progress with computer troubleshooting, work on my Etsy order, repost that fic, and leave a comment about a shitty government rule change (deadline tomorrow), but I’m sure there were other things I should have done too

(edit other Etsy listings? work on actually buying computer parts? call my legislators? post articles on Facebook? clean up more? set up the Christmas tree? oh right. those things. yeah that might be it)
