tumblr artist PSA?

It looks like tumblr now automatically converts png files to jpg – if you have a fairly “clean”/simple digital art style that gets wrecked by jpg artifacts, you’ll want to put transparency somewhere in the image – tumblr will leave pngs with transparency alone (a single pixel border of transparency around the image works and is pretty non-intrusive).

Incidentally twitter has done this for a while, the same method of fixing it works there.

I’ve been doing this on twitter for months now; literally just adding a tiny border of transparent pixels is enough. .jpg does not support transparency, so adding it to the image forces Tumblr to maintain the .png file in order to maintain the transparency.

Just a note for the trans woman out there.

Sephora offers a series of makeup classes called “Classes for Confidence”.  One of them is titled “Bold Beauty for the Transgender Community.”  It’s a makeup basics class.

I went to one of these classes this morning, and it was an absolutely amazing experience.  First, you’re surrounded by people from the community.  Second, the staff at Sephora are amazing, kind, considerate, knowledgeable and so, so helpful.  By the time you get done, you’ll have a working knowledge of skin care, color correction and foundation.

The classes are free, run about 90 minutes, and seem to be offered about once a month.  Definitely worth checking out.

Just be careful with your credit card.  I swore I wasn’t going to buy anything, and ended up walking away with a ton of product, but damn, I looked fabulous.  (Seriously, there is *no* pressure to buy anything.  I just have no impulse control when it comes to lipsticks).

I should definitely move to this country yesterday

Watch: It’s your right to share your salary, not doing so could be holding you back.

At my last company, one day someone in accounting approached me at lunch and quietly told me I need to ask for a raise because I was way underpaid.

They gave me a number to shoot for.  It was about twice than what I had been making at the time.

So I went online, did some research, found some figures backing up my claim, put it all together and went to my boss.

I got what I asked for.

If it hadn’t been for that person in accounting telling me I was way underpaid, I’d have never known.  I went from barely scraping by to being able to have a savings account and getting all my debts paid thanks to them.

You should at least check sites like salary.com to start the process of seeing what you should be making.

Because this is crucially important

Except for the fact that 90% of the time you are under contract not to talk about your salary otherwise the company can sue you. Every job I’ve had I’ve had to sign that I won’t discuss my pay with other employees otherwise my employment is terminated and the company will take legal action. 

It’s actually illegal for companies to forbid wage discussion, they’re just counting on you not knowing your rights.

One person for a few hours on rotate, receiving training already), Jesus (sorry, religious trigger) lovers adore helping the autism community.

2. Reach out to any and every pastor and congregation maybe share my story (if involved to come share in person) as well as share//sell my memoir, a book I’m writing.
