Not every post can be a 10/10, but never underestimate the power of belabouring a 4/10 bit.
If you do it 10 times, it turns into a 4 bit.
If you do it 20 times, it turns into an 8 bit, and then you can cash in on the nostalgia factor.
If you do it five times, it turns into a 2 bit, which you can cash in for a shave and a haircut
I was atrociously late to a seder because of a hospital shift.
All to say, when my rabbi opened the door for Elijah, he yelped when I was on his door step with an appearance akin to surviving a war, a beyond exhausted expression, and an iced coffee larger than my head.
I didn't even register his surprise when I asked, still in the door way "Hey, could i have some wine?"
I am both flattered and terrified at this comparison.
#op I am so sorry to say but this was screenshot onto facebook lol
I mean yeah bc I did it on account of i think I'm very funny and this story was already amazing on its own
Stoker: *writes Lucy Westenra to be the perfect, innocent, unblemished lamb whose absolute purity makes her a target for pure evil, a character whom everyone else in the narrative adores*
Dracula adaptations/spinoffs/reimaginings, for some reason:
i'm still working on explaining this the best I can, but I have a theory that environmental destruction under capitalism is a relatively common fetish--not as in I think actual environmental destruction is caused by it, but I think in media, there are people who are attracted to the power dynamic involved, combination of patriarchy and capitalism (see: phenomenon of "petromasculinity").
anyway I wrote this because I saw a fan edit of the anti-environment villain of some new kids movie and it had me thinking of a study I read recently on anti-environment politics as affirmation of masculinity lmao
awesome when there's a devoted platonic duo who love each other greatly and also one of them is married, and their friend and their spouse are both equally important to them
Clearly the talking snake had a few bites anyway.

the mexican football team has a 17 yrs old player and one of the funniest outcomes of this is that he cannot appear in any ad for gambling or drinking so he only appears in candy and milk advertisements. his first world cup and he's not even legally allowed to drive. his nickname is "morita" (little berry). he's three apples tall.
they couldn't put him in the beer campaign so he was represented by a bunch of berries
[ID. A beer advertisement with a row of cans, each with the face of a player from Mexico's men's football team, except for the aforementioned morita. There is a small pile of berries beside the last of the beer cans, which has been highlighted with a red circle. End ID.]

this is really interesting in how it frames disability/low spoons/etc as not being a series of internal symptoms, but specifically a situation in which daily tasks increase in complexity. for example i used to be able to wash the dishes normally. but now mental and physical issues combine to make that situation have a lot of prequalifications (do I have time, energy, how long can I do it without being sore the next day) that means many more steps are involved in getting that single physical act of washing a dish to be done.
I’m trying to remember the quote. “On a good day, doing laundry is three steps. On a bad day, the first step is getting out of bed.”
PRACTICE URGE SURFING
[ID written by @sketch-elf: First image is a shiba inu dog with an angry expression, pointing a gun at the camera.
Second image is a handout about the DBT skill Urge Surfing, broken up into four sections.
The first section reads: Urge surfing is a technique for managing your unwanted behaviors. Rather than giving in to an urge, you will ride it out, like a surfer riding a wave. After a short time, the urge will pass on its own.
This technique can be used to stop or reduce drug and alcohol use, emotional reactions such as “blowing up” when angry, gambling, and other unwanted behaviors.
Second section has a cresting wave on a graph with time on the horizontal axis and intensity of urge on the vertical axis. From left to right, it reads:
[low time, low intensity] Trigger: An urge is triggered by a person, place, thought, feeling, or something else.
[increasing time, intensity] Rise: The urge becomes more intense. This may happen gradually or very suddenly.
[3rd time, highest intensity] Peak: The urge reaches its most intense point. It may feel as if the urge will never go away.
[last time, less intensity] Fall: The urge loses intensity and eventually fades away.
Third section is titled How to Practice Urge Surfing. It reads:
Acknowledge you are having an urge.
Notice your thoughts and feelings without trying to change or suppress them. Note: it is normal to feel some discomfort during an urge.
Remind yourself:
It is okay to have urges. They are natural reactions to addictions and habits.
An urge is a feeling, not a "must." I can have this feeling and choose not to act.
Some discomfort is okay. I don't have to change it.
An urge is temporary. Like any other feeling, it will pass on its own.
Fourth section is titled Other Skills. It reads:
Managing Triggers
Use coping skills to reduce the power of triggers. Know your triggers ahead of time, and have a strategy or skill prepared for each one.
Examples: deep breathing if stressed, eating if hungry, leaving a location if it is high risk
Delay & Distraction
Do something to take your mind off the urge. Every minute you delay increases the chance of the urge weakening on its own.
Examples: go for a walk, listen to music, call a friend, read a book, practice a hobby.

sometimes my wife will come to me with a piece of food and explain it like its a james bond mission. like
"there is a piece of gouda on the counter downstairs. it has been left out overnight. i cannot bring myself to trust it and thus will be throwing it away in 20-30 minutes. but if something were to happen and the cheese were to go missing, i would not question it."
and then she will go. and then the cheese will go missing. and she will not question it.
Never done thinking about The Rashomon Job. Because ok, I think that, on balance, we can assume Eliot and Sophie spent a not insignificant amount of time at that museum gala flirting aggressively with each other (Nate's careful excision of this from his reconstructed version notwithstanding).
We also know that Sophie clearly did not remember/recognise Eliot until he pantomimed his behaviour and accent that night. This tracks for Sophie; she's not a faces person. She notices actions, tones, accents, and above all she notices physical signifiers of social relationships (class, professional, personal etc.). She can be pretty confident, from her own grifting experience, that that's all most other people notice too.
Eliot, on the other hand, is absolutely a faces person. It's something of a recurring bit. There's at least one occasion where he IDs a guy he saw for three seconds. He's a hypervigilant observer with a detailed and well-trained memory ("it's a very distinctive..."). That's part of what gives him an edge (and also must make the occasions where he briefly becomes famous deeply stressful).
(The bit in the opening episode of Redemption S3, were they walk into a party and Sophie notices the decor and dress and Eliot notices all the armed and dangerous security is such a good example of their respective ways of seeing the world.)
Taking all this into consideration, I think we can fairly happily imagine the following: that Eliot Spencer walked into a theatre in LA with an alcohol-soaked insurance investigator, an annoying hacker, and a disconcertingly odd super-thief, and was absolutely baffled to find someone he recognised from that deeply frustrating attempt to steal the dagger of Aqu'abi doing the world's worst Lady Macbeth.
And then she clearly hasn't recognised him, and he's not going to bring it up, because it's just a one time job, and also there's her whole thing with Nate happening right in front of his salad. And then eventually it becomes "wait, this is gold", and he's just sitting on this reveal until that night in the bar.

it's so important to me that eliot is canonically not just parker and hardison's third wheel but in fact textually placed right in the middle of their relationship. when parker says she's in a great relationship in the swipe right job, she doesn't say "me and hardison and also you." she says "me, you, hardison." in the harry wilson job they change the infamous "til my dying day" to "til OUR dying day," implying that eliot has made his peace with the idea that he's not on the outside as parker and hardison's protector but an active part of the relationship that can't be lived without. hell in the long goodbye job nate's narrative doesn't have parker and hardison, the romantic couple, holding hands as they die, but the two of them holding hands with ELIOT, who's in between them. he's central to the relationship, and nothing and no one will ever change that
he's fighting a beautiful buff lady. her shirt gets ripped and she's left in her slutty little tank top. "come on," you think. "why is the woman always wearing sexier things than her male counterparts." but fear not. now HE takes off his shirt and he's left in HIS slutty little tank top. equality. and then they kiss
sometimes i think about how eliot spencer in any other font would be such an annoying character. like he's the gruff, ex-military, man pain guy who gets all the girls. and then they said no! he's a thoughtful and kind man who children love and who has an absolutely mind-obliterating insane amount of ptsd. and he's got long hair, jewelry, and probably some sort of pronouns situation. and he's almost certainly in a sort of queerplatonic throuple with an adhd genius and the most autistic woman(?) alive. what a character
