im sorry i fell asleep while we were doing kink play, you just made me feel safe and comfortable for the first time in my life and my brain and body collapsed into a sense of relief so profound that unconsciousness gripped me in a softly iron grasp and i was finally able to understand the meaning of the word "rest". it will happen again.
im sure theres a word denoting the divide btwn what you believe as a citizen of civic society and what you believe as an animal with anger synapses. as a civic citizen i do not believe in the death penalty nor do i think anyone deserves to die for being stupid on twitter. as an ape,
I feel like making this distinction would also help with venting. "I acknowledge my feelings are irrational and primitive, and would never wish death on another human being. That being said, the asshole who slammed a door in my face deserves to be eaten alive by ants."
this one’s my favorite actually
highly recommend keeping a small portrait of a historical figure who met a grisly end on your work desk. for perspective.
me: oh thomas cromwell, we're really in it now. every day i get emails.
the postcard of thomas cromwell i keep on my desk: i was on committees with the duke of norfolk. and they beheaded me.
me: yep. good point.
me: cromwell. cromwell this post has got too big and famous and people are starting to misunderstand me on it.
the postcard of thomas cromwell i keep on my desk: oh no! you achieved too much fame and status? and now people are misrepresenting you? should we strip your lands and title? have you been beheaded?
me: YES ALRIGHT FINE

UM GUYS. I JUST NOTICED A CRAZY ISSUE W THE TUMBLR UPDATE.
YOU CAN SEE THE ICONS OF ANONS SOMETIMES.
The way I was able to recognize several anons in one of my inboxes bc of this error. Oh my god. Guys. This isn’t supposed to happen.
Weighing in to say:
The profile pictures I see next to anon asks are profile pictures that belong to other, non-anon asks in my ask box also. Some info
Which is still a bad bug! Considering it makes it look like a long-time follower of mine sent me a spam ask.
And is worse if, say, one of these was anon hate.
But it's NOT the anon's real identity. It's a neighboring ask asker's identity
So if you have anon hate in your inbox that looks like it's attributed to your dear friend, who sends you lovely asks all the time, it was Not them.
Thanks @thepatchycat for being a test subject. As you can see the icon being attributed to this ask is NOT the patchy cat
The pictured icon belongs to @watchingforcomets who sent me a nice ask about nail polish yesterday which I have not yet answered!
other actors: I sent live rats to my costars and drank sewage water bc I’m a method actor
rpatz: I played sonic everyday —but only the dark version— to really get in the headspace
While that first link is also an amazing resource and one you should check out, it isn't the one referenced in this post. The link from the post is:
Check them out, too!
playing dredge but i take my job as a provider of food too seriously to pursue the plot. like okay sure weird stuff in the wreckage but this town needs to eat :(
the story: you gave the fishmonger a Bad Fish when he asked for it and now his doors are locked... how strange...
me: but look at this really really big fish i caught :(
there are killer whales :D
i am retaining none of the lore btw. oh something something happened or there was a wreck there. who cares look at this fucked up flounder
the irony of staying up late all night to play the "staying up late all night will kill you to pieces" game is not lost on me
hey fellas is it a bad sign if you turn off the game and then lie down and turn off the lights and out of the corner of your eye you kind of see a flash of the multicolor swirlies that signal aberrations in the water
my need to fill every page of my cool book by finding every aberration vs my fear that i am hunting certain species to extinction
meanwhile the lighthouse keeper has been sitting around waiting for me to come back so she can tell me where to throw the book into the sea. for months. while i'm just living my whimsical animal crossing on a boat life
the game: there is an evil in these waters... an evil that might even be... you, or within you, or something brought by you...
me: yes... overfishing caused by capitalism 😔
the traveling merchant is so funny. like, obviously she exists primarily for logistical reasons but she's just so much happier to be here than everyone else. you must assume either that 1.) she's just managed to dodge all the haunted scary supernatural shit, or 2.) all the haunted scary supernatural shit is dodging her for some reason, like her determination for commerce is even more powerful than the eldritch powers that be, or the secret option 3.) she has been seeing and dealing with all the haunted scary supernatural shit, too, and she's just like "you let the Ominous Angry Deep bang up your boat? skill issue"
sure it might be unwise or whatever to examine Horrors Beyond Our Comprehension but i personally think the big scary eldritch beasties should also be in our cool big book of creatures. they're a part of the ecosystems too :(
sucks that "incel" is just like a generic insult now synonymous with "virgin" bc if people had much of an idea of what incel ideology actually entails, we could have a conversation about radical feminism being quite literally, beat for beat, incel shit for girls
radfems 🤝 incels:
like radfems also get blackpilled. they fall down pipelines into the deepest darkest extremes of their ideology, and it's increasingly harder to get these people to reengage with the world specifically because their ideology posits that the world is corrupted and divided into Us and Them, and that the ingroup's victim status is biological and innate. it's a system that lends itself naturally to doomerism and blackpilling due partially to the social isolation that comes with it. and it's equally difficult as with incels to "break through" the isolation because these people do not want help whatsoever. they have been thoroughly conditioned to see attempts at helping as Active Victimization and further proof of the rightness of their beliefs
The Disco Elysium sequel sucks
how i'm handling my students using AI to write papers:
-don't accuse them on using AI from the get-go and instead ask them to informally define all the huge words that they used in their essay which i know they don't know the meaning of
-ask to see their original file where they "wrote" the essay. go to version history to see if it was just copy and pasted and then just edited a bit. i keep an eye out for the shit like "certainly! here's an essay about...."
-if they own up to it, they can re-do the assignment for a higher grade even if there will be an automatic penalty. if they don't, i process it like plagiarism and get my supervisor involved.
And this is much better than the immediate accusations. Some students have a good vocabulary. Stop accusing them of faking their essays without proof, and this is a good way to check.
Fellow students please stop using AI, go back to promising not to kill the school nerd if they do all your homework or something.
Ok so, I just remembered how people in the comments of a tiktok video were being assholes, and I want to rant now :3
The video showed two wheelchair users at a train(?), who had just arrived to their stop to find nobody was there with a ramp so they could leave the train. One of them blocked the door so it wouldn't close, and this lasted for 15 minutes. The train was stopped for said 15 minutes. There was a button by the door, that said that it'd contact the driver when pressed. It didn't. People offered to go find the driver, and they came back with the news that there were no people in the platform to put the ramp. In the end, passengers had to go out, and place the ramp themselves, before the train could carry on. The wheelchair users had warned they were coming, and asked to have the ramp put there so they could get down. The platform turned out to have workers, they all just ran away because they'd never encountered the situation in which they needed to do this simple task.
Because of the workers' negligence, the train was forced to stop for 15 minutes.
Everyone's comments?
If someone fights for accessibility, as much as it might be a bother for you, you do not have the right to be mad at them. If someone fights for accessibility, it is exclusively the fault of a world catered exclusively for able-bodied people.
So next time you think, "hey the consequences of these disabled people fighting for their rights bother me", instead of blaming them for this, help them solve the issue. This way, next time they will not have to fight at all.
Able bodied people, go out and fight for a fucking accessible world if you're not an asshole.
[ Able-bodied people are encouraged to reblog this post, but try not to derail ]
“What if someone had needed to get to their stop urgently?” What if the fucking disabled people had needed to get to their stop urgently?????
If this pops up while you’re scrolling, I wish you unconditional love and massive success.
i get that it is recreationally fun to whine and hate. i support all whiners and haters and i agree nintendo should be bankrupted and have to sell all its games for negative ninety dollars. but if new mario games are $80 i just think its really easy to not buy new mario games. like when peoplare like "games are 1 squillion dollars" im like okay maybe for you if you want to buy the new zelda or cod the day of release. for Me, video games are like $15. sometimes $0
