Im A Bit Of A Mess

@emeraldbroam / emeraldbroam.tumblr.com

You can call me Bram/Broam, I'm several years over 20. My pronouns are they/them. Due to brain worms I have no tagging system, but if anything I post triggers or squicks you out, let me know and I'll see if I can wrangle some brain worms in your favor Also I am on/mod most of the cosmere discord servers out there, so let me know if you want a link!

Federal workers are going off.

My job was to monitor public land grazing and work with ranchers. I made barely 35k after taxes and was three weeks away from being off probation and getting a raise to a GS-9. I loved my job so fucking much and it was taken from me because of some goddamn rich fuck who has all the money in the world and yet can't make himself look better.

There are feds asking about their life insurance so that they can maybe kill themselves and save their family some financial problem. And my response to all these people is do not kill yourself. Kill the fucking problem instead. This is bullshit and I'll be damned if some rich silver spoon fed motherfuckers get to tell us that we can't do the jobs we love to save their greedy asses another goddamn penny.

We took an oath to uphold the constitution and serve the American people. That means something to me, and Im sure it means something to every other fed who lost their job. I can no longer hold the line of firings from my coworkers, but I can still serve the Constitution and the people of America by fighting back against these oligarchy fascist fucks.

You know, the Elon Husk recklessly cutting so many jobs from the federal government has really reminded me of just how much the government does.

A lot of people ask “what has the government ever done for me?” and it turns out that well until like two weeks ago when the Husk cut so many people from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau it was making companies that charged you random illegal charges refund you without you even noticing and suing companies that break the law

unsubstantiated rumor has it only ~25 employees are left to run this site. i am offering to take some of the decision making off their hands if only they'll acknowledge me as mayor of tumblr, and only if the people vote!

campaign promises

  • a New written apology for past moderation behavior that has been proofread for sincerity this time
  • no ui changes. no ui glitch fixes either. i figure we should just stop touching it altogether
  • increased focus on moderation. 20 of staff can work on moderation and spring cleanings and the other 5 can do the other stuff. that's probably a fine way to split it up
  • tumblr gold

what i can't do

  • get them to let us go nuts show nuts again 😒
  • make the site really good or profitable (impossible task anyway)
  • tumblr gold

vote 4 laz!

MY QUALIFICATIONS

  • haven't been canceled yet
  • familiar with basic html and css
  • large breasts

vote4laz

@staff i alreayd have more votes than there are You left. i will do this for free. recognize my title

When I studied ancient Greek, the big reference dictionary was A Greek-English Lexicon by Henry George Liddell and Robert Scott. Commonly known as "Liddell and Scott".

But there were three editions of increasing size, based on whether you wanted it to fit in your bag, your bookshelf, or your reference podium.

So of course we called them the "Little Liddell", the "Middle Liddell", and the "Great Scott".

Today was potentially the stupidest day I've experienced in 25 years of working in vet med.

Reblogs with pet reptiles or fish would be greatly appreciated

I’m very sorry for the rough day. So is Yamuel.

It has been a Week and god I am so glad Yam could give a needed laugh. He’s good for that. Melted lump of clay pretending to be a fish had me howling.

He’s a potato, or Congo puffer as you’ve probably seen in the notes. He has more of a body, I promise!

Except for when truly being a potato

Regardless of true shape, Yam and all my other creatures wish you a very please take care of yourself, and a thank you for doin what you do.

gods he is the most perfect embodiment of a potato

jesus christ i'm so stressed for him

oh my god. hold on a second. he is going to find his mate through a song of true love

love wins, like it actually does win 😭 i will cry for one million years thank you gay penguins i love you i hope your marriage is happy and you find lots of little orphan eggs to care for

@sneefsnorf he's gay and trying to find his husband 😓 and he DID find him like a true gay king 🙌

EVERYONE IN THE NOTES STOP HETEROSEXUALISING MY BOY

You heard them, the penguins are gay!

determine this however you like! while i’m generally going for total number, if you feel like your time with your 3 dogs was more significant than your time with your 10 fish, then feel free to put dogs as your answer. the world is your oyster!

i’m now realizing that the results of this poll may be skewed by the fact that my blog is cat themed 😅

I’ve been listening to the people in the apartment below me have arguments for two years now and I still can’t figure out what language they’re speaking. The best I can narrow it down is like if Portuguese and Hebrew had a baby. Is that a common pidgin combination

I just listened to a clip of this and jesus christ you fucking got it. there are like 3500 people in the whole united states who speak this and two of them are in a very fraught marriage four feet below me

Ok this might be a bit of a weird question but I keep arguing with my mom and sis about this so I need y'all to answer this

[For context my mom and sis keep telling me I shower for too long but my showers are usually 45 minutes to an hour]

(edit: *your showers not you showers)
