We used to stream and YT vids for the love of it but got burned out. Now we’re trying to get back into YT but this time with animation. We’re not very good at animation mind you, but we’ll be trying regardless x)
Yeah man, I just started a shitty little motion graphics based YT shorts based on serial killers and true crime, I love making those picture move.
Ooo can we bug you for a link? Always love finding new story animations in yt :3
Sure, but it’s just little motion graphics based in my own shitty voice. https://m.youtube.com/shorts/nnh4x3De6uc
Keep doing what you are passionate about ❤️
Personally, I enjoy making neat, easy to follow step-by-step tutorials for my various interests and forwarding them to people who want to learn something I know about. Growing up, I didn’t have anyone to show me things and it was often overwhelming having to figure everything out on my own without a clear starting point, so I don’t want anyone else to feel the same way or to feel ashamed for not knowing something.
I love languages so I would also offer free translation for people’s projects upon request and would also translate song lyrics when translation software was much worse than it is now.
When I can, I donate anonymously to causes I support and donate blood too.
Donating blood has got to be one of the things one does that is just absolutely selfless.
If someone does it to brag or to rizz, they could just lie and say they do it. But actually doing it? 🤟
I tried out to become a donor but my iron levels were too low. 😭
I almost passed out just listening to someone talk about the benefits of donating blood, blood tests and vaccines result in temporarily losing colour from my vision and needing to lay down for a while to recover. Did register for organ donation back when it was opt in though.
Why did you pass out? Phobia of blood or similar?
I don’t seem to have any problem with blood in any other situation. Probably more from needles under the skin.
Yeah I’m not a fan of sharp things entering the body at all. I’m okay with vaccinations. I look away and let them do their thing. But like, people getting stabbed and stuff, that gives me chills. And stuff going into the skin close to where there are bones, like the hand and foot. Like an IV e.g. Yuck.
I’m the exact opposite. I’m okay with knife wounds, they get my adrenaline pumping but it’s a problem to be solved, so whatever stress it brings can only be focused into taking the steps to solve it. But needles are way more subtle, the concept of this thin little thing slipping between skin to sneak stuff into the body or pull blood out, leaving barely a trace that anything changed. Logically I know they’re great, and I’m very pro-vaccination (ironically part of my job is importing vaccination records for a school district for nurses to track) but the subconscious part of my brain cannot handle it. Needles just give me the heebie jeebies. I’ve been squirming nonstop the entire time writing this.
It’s two days off, paid, up to a maximum of 10 per year in Croatia. You give blood five times a year, aim for a holiday and can nicely round up a two week vacation.
That’s pretty rad. We just possibly get a T-shirt (I never have lol), sometimes tickets to shows or something, and definitely added to a phone list of “WE URGENTLY NEED YOUR BLOOD” robo-calls from half a billion numbers.
…But I try to get over my needle-phobia long enough to do it occasionally.
I learned my blood type that way. That could save valuable time in a future emergency! Lol
Wow, that’s a luxury. We don’t get that here. Great incentive.
Happy cake day!
Down voting positivity 😆🫰
I do it for the biscuits at the end
That being said I haven’t been able to for 6 years now, the organisation that handles it (EFS) does not let you give if you have spent some time in Mayotte (among other places), where I live. Concerns about malaria I think
Out of curiosity, what does EFS stand for?
Établissement Français du Sang
Society of French blood suckers. ;)
An excellent human.

Donating to KDE and Signal. Though now that I’ve said it, it’ll sound like I do it for validation…!
I donate a small amount to Wikipedia every month
Alright here is your validation
Y’all are getting validation?
Is that like a dish of some sort? Never heard of it.
I make drawings, well, just with black ink/ fineliner on paper. I have a box full of them and even have some on my wall. Never tried to sell them or even post them. The only people who know it are my husband, my parents, my brother and best friend. Only abstract, maybe tattoo-ish.
Have done this since… highschool. Comes and goes in phases. When the mood strikes. Have always loved that my hand-eye coordination is so good, can make fluid lines and it almost looks like it’s printed. But well, I guess it’ll keep going unnoticed. ;)
Fellow artist who sometimes gets impostor syndrome from time to time: I would love to see your work if you ever want to share.
Exercise. I mean I hate it but I crave it and I am not a skinny person by all means so it is something that I do for me and how it makes me feel.
Woodworking - I’m not very good at it (yet) but I keep at it and I’m convinced someday I’ll make something really cool.
jackin off
Taking photos.
I knit because I find the process enjoyable and because I can make exactly what I want or need. There’s no recognition in it, and it doesn’t save time or money, but I find it satisfying.
I have websites that provide technical information on several subjects.
I don’t have ads, I don’t SEO. I just enjoy sharing free knowledge on the internet.
Link? I have a similar thing at samartean-rares.com/. I post whatever info that felt relatively hard to get to me, practical work or whatever I think people may find useful. And yea I don’t think anyone found my website so far but it’s whatever.
I post and share photography. Some of my works that I think are mediocre get a lot of attention, and some of my most-loved works are nearly ignored.
But I post for me.
I enjoy seeing your photography and outfits in my feed. You’re a great contributor here :)
Thank you! I put my whole self out there.
Gorgeous shot. My favorite times of day are just before sunrise and sunset, sometimes you get the most spectacular light and color. Where did you take that from?
This came off the Tilikum Bridge over the Willamette River in Portland last night!
Staying alive, apparently.
