Hi, are you still writing Healing Balm? I just binged it and I want to scream

Long story short, I fully intend to get back to it, but burnout, grad school, and now working fulltime have forced me to prioritize other things. I have an outline for it (and two sequels) written down, so someday I hope I'll have the bandwidth to put it all on paper.

Thank you for reading, it makes me incredibly happy you found the story! 😊

Can't wait till Toph unlocks glassbending

[burglar-bird]

I misread this as "genderbending" and was like, Toph does that? Not Sokka???

Thinking about SVSSS AU/fic prompt where trial happens but SQQ just doesn't talk.

There no point defending himself, he's going to be found guilty why make a fool of himself or a show. He'll just sit here silently and let things happen smoothly so Binghe can have his revenge

Of course everyone is like 'SQQ defend you self!' cang qiong is freaking out and Binghe is just furious and confused Shizun answer the questions! Why aren't you saying anything!

Eventually the bust out a truth telling artifact to get truth out... only now system isn't letting SQQ answer questions that would reveal he isn't SJ.

So everyone is freaking out like SQQ interesting are most powerful artifacts??? what the fuck?!

Eventually Binghe snaps and yells out 'why won't Shizun defend himself??'

This shocking SQQ and something he can answer

'Because Binghe wants me to be guilty'

Everyone just freezing like 'what the fuck?'while SQQ is just sitting there confused like he hasn't just said something insane.

Peak Lord's freaking out over sqq's canon fate.

Sqq: guys it's chill. My disciple is a good boy (tm) who returns kindness tenfold and cruelty a thousand fold. Obv I deserve this for what I did.

Crowd: ... What did you do?

Sqq: I yet disciple into pit.

Lbh *sobbing*: shizun why did you???

Sqq: it was ordained to happen. The voice in my head told me to.

Crowd: ... The what.

Sqq *sweating*: the voice....the normal canon compliant voice that is totally a normal thing to experience ahahaha......

Crowd *squinting*: either he's possessed or insane.

Lbh *cries harder*

The Superbat (every)Week Server had a PowerPoint Party today and I presented! I figured I would post the presentation here too. I had a lot of fun making and presenting it :)

Links to sources I used will be at the end of the post.

(any bird pictures that don't have a link next to them are pictures that I took while birding throughout the years)

(and yes, I am over 30, why do you ask?)

May I present to you...

World's Finest Birders

Or why Superbat should give up superhero-ing and just go birding instead.

I've recently been made aware that if you are thinking of switching to Linux or want to switch but don't know how there's a great website made just to help people migrating from Windows to Linux.

The website has a long list of supporters, so if you really know nothing and / or are afraid of trying it and messing something up you will be able to get professional help from this website.

End of 10

Extended support for Windows 10 ends in 2026. Don’t buy a new PC — revive yours with Linux. It's fast, secure, and help is available to get

There's even a list of places where you can go physically to get help. All over the world, not just in the USA by the way.

Say goodbye to Microsoft treating you like you don't own your PC. Say goodbye to intrusive features you didn't ask for. Say goodbye to ads on the OS you paid for.

Save your PCs from joining the massive amount of e-waste caused by Microsoft's unnecessary requirements.

And this is why I’m putting Windows 10 on my new PC.

[jellycaustic]

It's in windows 10 too :( I just checked my system and had to turn it off.

Mama and Baby Dragon My new artbook "Modern Dragons" is on Kickstarter for 11 more days!

[burglar-bird]

Hey, I'm thinking about you. I was going through some old chapters and wanted to let you know how much I appreciate how supportive and encouraging you've been. I hope that you are doing well!! I hope that life is treating you with the kindness and love you deserve!! <3333

Oh my gosh, thank you! I love your work and I'm so glad my silly comments have been a booster. Life has been treating me pretty well all things considered; I'm moving cross-country soon and have just gotten my Master's, so it's a wild time. I hope life is treating you well too! ❤️❤️❤️

Important note from a future nurse: if you are chronically ill, on a lot of medications, even managing conditions on your own, buy a drug guide. Davis's Drug Guide is what they had us buy for nursing school, and I've looked up every single medication I take in it. It helps you understand what the drug is doing to you, helps you understand side effects, reasons why you shouldn't take a medication, things to monitor for while you're taking a medication. It's not perfect by any means, but the thing I've found is that it's helped me guide conversations with providers, nurses, pharmacists, it's helped me figure out what questions to ask. When I've heard people talk about what they didnt know about their meds, what they wish they knew about their meds, it's often in a drug guide.

Out of everything I've learned in nursing school, it is the biggest thing I'd advocate for having in any home, period.

Pros to my dad working on planting a variety of native plants and various flowers in our yard: Diverse animals in our yard and whatnot. Native bees are here.

Cons: I have a severe phobia of moths and sometimes they appear now while I’m gathering herbs and chase me around the yard like some kind of deranged commedia dell'arte bit

[burglar-bird]

This is like when my friend had a bumble bee in her house so I tried to catch it bare handed but it somehow got in my shirt so I had to run for the door with a yellow Cheeto impersonating Luke in the death star bra edition in my blouse, only it flew out in the living room where all the phobic people were and caused mass hysteria and a few people flinging themselves es to the ground like this was nuclear fallout because Bumbleton the Second* didn't want to get hands with me while I relocated him

Just watch Obsession, honestly the first movie in a while that made me want to throw up. 10/10 would never watch again, it's an absolute banger that'll mess you up

the hottest thing a guy can be is barely conscious on the floor while someone lifts his head up by the hair so that you can see his glazed out eyes and the blood running down his face

this is probably my favorite tiktok of all time and I finally got around to showing it to my dad the other day and now he comes home every day and tells me about all the places he saw crumbling concrete and says "guess they didn't add enough chinchilla flakes"

I swear to fucking god. I would claw out OneDrive from my computer if I could. I would burn down their servers if I could. I would run down their stocks to the ground if I could. I hope every single one of their workers gets a better offer from a competitor in the next 24 hours. I hope every single one of their light bulbs explodes at the same time. I hope every single carton of milk in their fridge will always be expired.

Stop backing up my fucking files.

Stop asking me to back up my fucking files.

Stop taking my fucking files off my fucking computer.

I don't want a fucking reminder in three fucking days. Let me fucking say no.

Fuckers.
