As part of her social media detox this girl on YouTube made herself do one hour of understimulating tasks every day and she just counted rice for 60 minutes straight because its no different from doomscrolling in terms of wasted time

[greenishness]

When I say this changed my life. Every time I'm on my phone I ask myself Is this different from counting rice for one hour ? and if the answer is no I go find something else to do. It works well because it's not about conforming to productivity standards or about moralizing digital hobbies it's just an honest reflection on whether tomorrow I will be glad I spent my time this way and then acting accordingly. The rice paradigm

Freerice is an educational trivia game owned by the UN World Food Programme (WFP). Join our movement to help end global hunger: start playin

And then there is the free rice paradigm. It got me thinking hey I should go play that. I can waste my time and give rice to people who need it

Hi! Quick question from a medievalist about Crowley's hatred of the 14th century-- do you imagine it's something specific to/ one incident from the 1300s that makes him loathe it so? Or is it just the combination of general religious fervor and lack of technology and cool rock bands that make him resent it? (Or am I just overriding a throwaway joke? One works in subtext so long...) Thanks!

Both Terry and I had read and loved Barbara Tuchman's A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous Fourteenth Century. And it seemed to us that Crowley would have loved being out of the Fourteenth Century...

if you are a parent, or may become one, or you are otherwise likely to arrive in the situation of caring for a child while they eat, promise me this: if a child doesn't like a certain food or food group, you will ask them WHY. and specifically, you will pay attention to either confirming or ruling out "it makes my mouth itch" or "it makes my stomach hurt," both of which are medically important info that children may not provide unprompted. which i know because this PSA has been brought to you by "i spent my entire childhood and much of my early teens eating peas and lentils while wondering why everyone else liked the Violently Itchy Mouth Sensation so much, like were they a bunch of legume masochists or something, before i finally realized that Violently Itchy Mouth Sensation was in fact a sinister demon appearing only to me, and her true demonic name was: Legume Allergy"

“I’m not going to let you sacrifice yourself, Obito,” he said. “I’m never going to do anything but protect you.”

Don’t mind me, just obsessing over @butter–peanut‘s incredible Tobi/Sukea series again

@kkobweek Day 2: Secret Identity | Dropping the Act

"I am very happy to have Tobi as a teammate," Sukea said sincerely. "Tobi is happy to have Sukea as a teammate too!" Obito exclaimed.

Inspired by @butter--peanut's "The New Recruit" fanfic. I highly recommend reading the series. It's just so fun and lovely that I couldn't resist drawing for it with this prompt <3

Gai, patting his back: I know. I know.

Sequel to THIS COMIC

After doing a supremely shitty colouring job on the first two pages, I accepted fate (that I am never going to finish this damn comic) and decided to post it anyway. Under the cut is everything I got. Enjoy!

(And if anyone wants to pick up this concept and run with it, across any medium.... take my blessings! All of them!)

Warnings for: attempted suicide, child soldiers. Canon-typical fucked-upness, I guess.

Not pictured: Kakashi’s panic attack after the kids had gone lmao

Happy (late) Birthday to my favourite wet idiot <3

Kakashi is absolutely Konoha's beloved weirdo loner and everyone has a different reason. He's the guy who could kick your ass six ways to Sunday but his fancy eye powers overload his system and he'll pass put afterwards. He's the Comrade Killer who's spent twenty years mourning the comrade who gave him his eye. He reads porn in public and he endangers children but he blushes if you make him read that porn aloud. He's the son of a hero turned a villain and he's fucked up and he's weird and he has eight dogs who are all very clearly mutts and he keeps failing his genin and he's still the coolest guy anyone's ever met.

(He's also convinced all his friends are dead which is so yikes that all the Konoha jonin have decided to secretly adopt him.)

The denizens of Konoha react to Kakashi in much the same way that we do.

Namely: "Wow, what a badass. Yet I cannot help but notice he is a delightfully soggy and crumbly disaster of a man. Hm. I must put him in a cardboard box and hand feed him small pieces of fruit."

Kakashi copied a thousand jutsu but only used like, five in the series, because ninja copyright is a thing and he didn’t wanna get sued

Absolutely disgusted with the chronic absence of armpit hair in the Naruto series cause either all Anbu carry Nair around like an essential or they all shave before wearing their gay ass little sleeveless turtleneck.

this made me WHEEZE

theories:

they're actually like swimmers...... they shave their entire body nightly for streamlining purposes

the ANBU gossip culture is bitchy as fuck. Did you see Raccoon's armpit hair during drills yesterday? Ewwww.

as part of the hazing process, they dump new recruits in a vat of XXX-strong Nair and the body hair just never goes back. unlucky members go right under and come out bald

uniform regulations. in a back room of konoha is a weird little ANBU uniform maker who INSISTS that all her boys and girls be sleek and shiny. for reasons. no she is not taking criticism.

it's about leaving no DNA traces at crime scenes they perpetuate undercover, in Konoha's name. Ideally they should shave their heads too, especially since every now and then some twit of a kid joins ANBU with bright white hair and thinks no one's gonna recognise his stupid paintbrush head just because he's wearing a mask but, I digress

they're having a secret in-house competition to see who can regulate their hair growth via chakra for longest. every so often they pull down each other's pants to check each other's concentration hasn't slipped and they've grown a stray pube. people have walked in on this. the ANBU don't explain.
