Things People Should Know
I am yet again “sick as shit” and really cannot write.
A lit of things you should know.
Clipping Masks
If you do literally any design at all, you should know about clipping masks. Here is a resource. https://www.webascender.com/blog/photoshop-masking-clipping-vs-layering-masks/
If you’ve ever thought “I want to fill in a shape with a photo” or “wouldn’t it be great if I can fill in this heart for valentine’s day with a cool gradient” or “I took this photo of a sunset and want my logo to be like that” then the tool you are looking for is CLIPPING MASK and photoshop/illustrator/canva have this.
No, people do not take a photo, draw the letter “F” around it in white, make the background white, and then set it to transparent, to do this effect. If that sounds like too much work — yeah nobody does this.
Cranberry Gummies
If you get UTIs again do not blame yourself for your sins, your depression, or your lifestyle and get some cranberry gummies. You don’t have to even eat them every day you can eat them at random times. Your UTIs will get better. Doctors recommend this. If you go to a doctor with a UTI they would recommend cranberries. If you hate the gummies which are delicious you can get a plain powder if you are keto or whatever and put that in water and drink that.
Sunlamps
Yes you do actually feel better having these around if you do not go outside.
Becoming a Better Person By Having Pothos Plants
Yes these do indeed make the air a lot nicer and are indeed easy to take care of. You will probably kill it by over or under watering it. If you are very particular about getting the easy house plant and killing it, get it from a nice lady who is a florist who lives near your town. Tell her if you keep your plant alive you’ll get another plant, and ask her if you can ask her about what to do if your plant gets sick. Chances are this human loves plants and will be happy to help you. Then watch your plant. You will think you are overwatering it when actually you are underwatering it. Or vice versa. Either you will notice and revive it, or you will die, or save some roots and leaves and replant it. It will be okay. It is a clone of another Pothos anyway. You are not a terrible person for killing your Pothos but not giving up on plants because you fear killing even your Pothos would make you a much better person.
If you don’t read books have more books around
more books, better books, books you want to look at. I know it is a cliche of the person who has books but never reads them. but sometimes you do just need books
If you are sick and need mental stimulation
Ask the Alexa to play jazz. or Soft techno. Or some weird genre. Or classical guitar music. Murmur at it sickly until it plays something that is mentally stimulating enough while you languish. Music is indeed healing.
