would you enter my terrible haunted mangrove?

I'm suffering from great pain today. special dinner: ibuprofen sandwich

happy Thursday the 20th

POV: You stop to talk to your coordinator for your college classes and end up having a second breakdown of the day that leads to the discovery that the school once again fucked up your schedule and you now have to pay for being over the maximum allotted credits

the purpose of friends is to have people who unconditionally hate your shitty exes & relatives. like maybe YOU have a complex relationship with your father but i sure don't. i'm outside his house with a gun. he's not the unforgivable asshole who raised me he's just an unforgivable asshole

It very much is and I can accept the spiders and pseudoscorpions but draw the line at silverfish

It's actually funny how humans decided "fuck living in caves with all these creepy crawlies", got out of caves, built houses that have all the nice parts of a cave without any of the yucky parts, and then all the little bugs and spiders and other creepy crawly creatures that used to also live in caves thought "sweet, new and improved caves" and moved right back in with us.

They can if you're not a coward and add the dynamite

blackberries are so good <- the start of my fruit reviewer career

Why hide this in the tags when your truth should be shouted from the rooftops

i decided to skip the holidays, and the holidays hunted me down regardless. this bloodthirst must be exsanguinated

I know this is supposed to be a joke, but I've had to shit since 10:34 this morning and keep forgetting to go so thanks for the reminder

Don’t forget to poop before the new year starts. You don’t wanna carry the same shit into 2025

TODAYS CHALLENGE

The Portfolio Sheet

I challenge you to create a commission sheet, no matter what kind of art you do, digital 2D, traditional, crafting, writing, voice acting, music, video editing, photography, literally anything!

however best suits the art you make, find a way to present it, this is not only a fun exercise, it's also a great way to show off what you've made. really useful for applying to colleges, applying for jobs, but most importantly it's just cool to have for when people ask to see the art you make!

not doing commissions? no problem! you can make the sheet purely for fun. alternatively though, you can show off your art, and in the area where you would display the prices you can write "NOT FOR SALE" or "YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO HAVE THIS ART" or perhaps "YOU COULD NEVER AFFORD MY TALENTS", etc

best of luck :>

UHC website has an article entitled "Response to Misinformation" in which it explicitly labels Luigi as a killer despite a trial not taking place. Which in itself is defamation and very telling of their concerns with pushing a narrative more than a legal and ethical perspective.

update: it's not exactly a copycat situation since 1) a few articles lied about erik denslow being a ceo when he's actually just the president of the company 2) erik denslow is still alive and expected to recover soon.

thank you to the folks that brought this to my attention.

@idraw-sometimes I have new ideas to torment ppl eith

DnD campaign idea, the game takes place in an office setting and this is their first encounter. (it's a mimic)

@ people who don't celebrate christmas and are currently having christmas shoved down their throats

i hope whatever holiday you celebrate is fun and well!! and if you don’t celebrate any holidays this time of year, i hope your day is nice anyways!

if you're trying to get into the head of your story's antagonist, try writing an "Am I the Asshole" reddit post from their perspective, explaining their problems and their plans for solving them. Let the voice and logic come through.

Asked my mom for a binder for Christmas

No, mom, that’s not….

Oh I see what you did there

like the first rule of cooking is to have fun and be yourself and the first rule of baking is to stay calm because the dough can sense fear

I had to reread this post 5 times before my brain stopped processing tomato as tornado.

I fucking love tomato sauce!!!!! come on guys!!!!!!!! we love tomato sauce let's talk about it!!!

'People are panicking about AI tools the same way they did when the calculator was invented, stop worrying' cannot stress enough the calculator did not forcibly pervade every aspect of our lives, has such a low error rate it's a statistical anomaly when it does happen, isn't built on mass plagiarism, and does not obliterate the fucking environment when you use it. Be so fucking serious right now

I am going to eat this entire candy cane.

every time i listen to “you’re a mean one mr. grinch” i can’t help but sit there and think “what did the grinch do to hurt you?” because dude just stands there for 2 minutes and 58 seconds and drags the grinch into the dirt

something I think we all know about fanfic, but don’t talk about because it would hurt writers feelings is that some fics are like fast food. I mean this as a compliment. I don’t always want to sit down for a six course meal that will be a flavor experience. Sometimes I just wanna dip some fries in a frosty. Sometimes I want something homecooked and delicious and super niche, but super comforting. Sometimes I want to eat an entire dark chocolate cheesecake in one sitting even though I know Its gonna make me sick. Just. holy crap, y’all. Sometimes I don’t even want fast food, I just want to eat an entire bag of chips. and yeah, I’m ashamed of myself afterwards, but at the time it was exactly what I wanted. So, no, we’re never going to say to our fanfic writers that we consider their writing to be the equivalent of a midnight run to taco bell - and we shouldn’t, feelings would be hurt by that. But writers, please, please, please, remember this. You don’t need to create a six course meal if you don’t want to. You don’t have to make something complex and homemade if you don’t want to. You don’t even have to finish cooking it - because someone will be thrilled that you brought a bowl of cookie dough and a spoon, because they cannot even consider sitting down and having a proper meal right now. It’s okay writers, whatever you decided to make. Someone was happy to have it. You gave them what they needed. You made them happy. You did good.

It's awful bc actual conversations are awful and everything is awkward

May or may not be letting the delusion get to me and writing my first fic. Why must dialogue be so awful?

I sit here in woe as I dutifully await the day my husband will come home from the war. I tell myself repeatedly that he will survive and return to father our child.

(AO3 is down and it crashed literally right before I could start the next chapter after a really heated cliffhanger)

Okay, so, friends. Occasionally I see an American post on here about “guillotine the rich,” and it turns out that “rich” means “anyone making over $50k.”

We need to clear this shit up REAL fast, because otherwise it’s gonna wind up like the French Revolution, where more middle class and poor people were killed for being “class traitors” than actual nobles. (Did you know that France has more nobles today than during the French Revolution? While there were a few showy executions, many nobles did just fine or experienced minor setbacks.)

If someone makes $60,000 a year, they are making about twice as much as a full time worker making minimum wage in California, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, DC, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, or Washington State.

Brian Thompson, the CEO of United HealthCare who was just assassinated in New York City, earned $10 million a year, which means he earned 333 times minimum wage in those states. Basically, he cleared an annual minimum wage salary in just over a day. And that “rich” person making $60k/year that you want to guillotine? He made their salary in a bit over two days of a year.

So he was rich, right?

Well. Tesla is trying to give Elon Musk a pay package of $101 billion. That is 10,100 times what Brian Thompson earned and 3,366,667 times more than a minimum wage worker. (Tesla hasn’t been successful yet because of a complicated lawsuit from a shareholder, but they’ll get there.) If you are a minimum wage worker, Elon Musk makes more every SECOND than you do in a year. And that “rich” person who you want to guillotine? He makes their salary in about 1.6 seconds. Even when he’s sleeping.

Now, remember. The Muskrat also is the head of SpaceX, the Boring Company, X.ai, and X.com, so this is just ONE pay package for him.

What I’m saying is — you have much more in common when it comes to economic grievances with someone earning $60,000 (or even $200,000) than the ultra wealthy that have real power. They are not the people you should expend your energy on.

I feel like sometimes is an understatement

@idraw-sometimes had? More like you're still going through it (not to be mean, but facts are facts)

Making a chain cause why not!? Hdisiwisjs

Erm...so-

@starsinthenigth @mxnaceo @duckp0t + Anyone who wants to do it! (No pressure)

I think there's something to be said that saying the words "Deny, Defend, Depose, you're next" to an insurance sales rep can get you arrested for 'threats of mass homicide' or whatever with a threat of 15 years in prison

But when I was a manager in a fast food restaurant I've had customers throw food at me, demand for my personal phone number with an added threat of "Well I'll just have to FIND it", customers charging past the front counter to physically intimidate me and my coworkers, screaming and swearing, demands to know what time I get out of work, demands to know when my manager would be at work as a threat, people sitting in their car waiting for me to finish closing because they were angry at me, causing me to stay in the office watching the camera waiting for them to drive away...

But none of those incidents are arrest-able offenses, not one, any time I called the cops on any customer I would just hear excuses like " "there isn't anything illegal about calling a restaurant", that nothing physical happened and therefore there's nothing they could do, to call back and let them know if anything else happens

Idk, just think it's A TEENY TINY BIT ODD

Cop in the news goes "words have consequences" as if people don't berate and threaten fast food and retail workers every day

@idraw-sometimes I know you had a graffiti hyperfixation for a while. Figured you'd enjoy
