I will block you if you ask for money in any way no matter how roundabout.

A handful of Tumblr people were harmed (blocked) in the making of this post.

Another Tumblr person was hurt (Blocked) because they did not read the post.

I don't know how else to handle you people. My Tumblr is about the things I like. A hobby. Not charity (in my head those are completely separate things).

Send such asks to people who handle them differently please.

My pinned post: What am I? Chopped Liver?

Another Tumblr person has been hurt (Blocked).

What the fuck is up with all those bots asking for my money in my asks??? At this point I will close my asks!

Update:

I will not hesitate to report. Next money/war ask and I am closing my asks for the next three years.

Asks have been closed.

People with low spoons, someone just recommended this cookbook to me, so I thought I’d pass it on.

I always look at cookbooks for people who have no energy/time to do elaborate meal preparations, and roll my eyes. Like, you want me to stay on my feet for long enough to prepare 15 different ingredients from scratch, and use 5 different pots and pans, when I have chronic fatigue and no dishwasher?

These people seem to get it, though. It’s very simple in places. It’s basically the cookbook for people who think, ‘I’m really bored of those same five low-spoons meals I eat, but I can’t think of anything else to cook that won’t exhaust me’. And it’s free!

SPREAD THE WORD THIS IS FUCKING GOD TIER OH MY GOD, SOMETIMES I HAVE SPOONS SOMETIMES I DON’T BUT NO COOKBOOK OFFERS LEVELS IN THEIR RECIPES THIS ONE DOES!

I downloaded the pdf and read some of the recipes out of curiosity. 11/10 I strongly recommend.

This depresso cookbook has one job and does it happily: help you choose a recipe for today's depresso meal.

How am I only just learning this!?

What am I looking at?

Anonymous asked:

Just saw several people on ao3 comment on chapter one of a newly started multichapter fic asking if it had been abandoned because it had almost been two weeks since it updated. The author ended up having to make an author's note to explain that, no, it wasn't abandoned and that they hadn't updated yet because they have work and school.

Like y'all, chill. It's fairly standard for there to be several months between updates on fanfic. Writing fanfic is a hobby that people do in their spare time, it's gonna take a while

If I discover something that's been long-abandoned I might sometimes leave a comment on the last chapter about how lovely it is and how I hope they come back to it someday, but that's always, like, one sentence in a much longer enthusiastic comment, usually after I've been commenting as I read. Just showing up and being like "WHERE ARE YOU" is terribly rude.

Someone once left me a "If you do ever come back to this, there will be an audience" comment, which I thought was sweet.

people keep leaving me comments like that for finished fics and like, i get that they're tryna be cute and that it's supposed to mean "this was so good that i'm going to pretend like it's not finished", but nah, it triggers my anxiety and reinforces that i don't know how to write endings.

tbh kinda thinking about turning comments off for all fics.

Bruh. Sometimes I would get an email telling me that someone has subscribed for a fanfic I am certain that I have marked as finished on FFN.

Batman #36 (2017) Tom King & Clay Mann

I am genuinely crying with laughter, they’re such idiots.

These two waxing poetic about each other to their significant others, both wildly missing the mark on each other, and then just completely blue-screening when suddenly face to face while Lois and Selina just introduce themselves like normal damn people.

I love them all.

When a pair of friends have communication issues.

Writing Tips
Punctuating Dialogue

➸ “This is a sentence.”

➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.

➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”

➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”

➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”

➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”

➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.

“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.

“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”

➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”

➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”

However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!

➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.

If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)

➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“

“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.

➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.

➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”

➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.

“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”

➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.

“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”

omg this is so helpful

I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!

Oh, that’s very helpful indeed!

Here is your mission.

TSLA hit its all time high of $488.50 on 15 DEC 2024. To reach of a price of $114.00 would be a 76.7% drop. That's huge, right?

Yeah well, when I checked the price just now (12 MAR 2025 @ 1:31 PM EDT), TSLA is currently trading at $250.85. That's down 48.6% from the high.

Babes, we're already nearly two-thirds of the way there.

TSLA $114.00. I believe this is where I say 'like to charge, reblog to cast.'
