Hey, I’m Meta (they/it)! This account is basically for saving references/tutorials for myself. I try to write image IDs for everything I can, but sometimes I forget to (or just accidentally hit post instead of save to drafts) or it’s unfeasible. Things that have IDs will be tagged #image id/#video id, things without tags will be tagged with #no id.

If you have feedback on my IDs please let me know!! They’re for you guys so I want to know what you think!
