"Gandalf, buddy? What have you got there?"

"Oh him? That my emotional support hobbit."

"Uh huh. And what he got?"

"That's my hobbit's emotional support hobbit."

"And I suppose those two are also emotional support hobbits as well?"

"No, of course not. Those two are my emotional distress hobbits."

".....?"

"Keeps me on my toes."

ID: A youtube comment with 11 likes by Niceone, it says "I've lived 46 years without knowing this. How nice of life to save some of the best bites for later." End ID.

Normally, people tend to get frustrated, even jokingly, if they miss out on something. This comment was on a song from 1974 and it made me smile quite much. Simply appreciative. Like a dessert after dinner.

It is genuinely mind blowing to me just how many Tumblr posts have changed my life for the better and taught me to be happier. Not all of the thoughts originate on Tumblr, but the way people collect and frame them has literally changed my brain chemistry.

Red / Green, 2026. Watercolour & ink on 100% cotton cold pressed watercolour paper.

Recently I drew and painted this all in one evening/night, for a pop up art exhibition, in the middle of a heatwave, on a work night, at a larger format than I'm used to, the night before the exhibition set up. All things considered, I think it turned out pretty well! Who said doing things last minute is a bad idea? (me. all the time.)

This is a watercolour painting, with the theme RED/GREEN, for the exhibition of the same name which was held at the end of June in STPLN in Malmö, Sweden.

I decided on doing a peaceful, summery painting, featuring a somewhat Edwardian naturalist inspired character. She's sitting in a green scene, drawing little tomte nissar with red hats, which seem to be inhabiting the tree she's under. There's several little details hidden around the scene, mainly the tree, to pore over and delight in finding. I think there are 13 tomte nissar, total.

It's been likened by several people to Sven Nordqvist and Elsa Beskow, two fabulous children's book authors/artists whom I admire, and I can only say one influence was on purpose, but I'm equally flattered by both comparisons.

The word “Eldritch“ is likely derived from old Scottish “elphrish“ by way of the old english “Elld-“ meaning “beyond,” literally translating to “from lands beyond.“

The antonym could be constructed with the old English prefix “Cun-“ to create “Cunnritch“ meaning “from lands known.“

[normal-horoscopes]

The construction could also be “Cuthritch” depending on how you want to translate the gender rules in old English.

[ooccoo]

actually, old english does have a word for “native realm”: eþelrice, pronounced ‘ethelritch’. surprisingly similar lol

[normal-horoscopes]

Aye but the prefix for “Elld-” had connotations of knowledge and understanding which I felt was essential to keep for an antonym, thus I am serving “Cun-”

All day the stars watch from long ago my mother said I am going now when you are alone you will be all right whether or not you know you will know

look at the old house in the dawn rain all the flowers are forms of water the sun reminds them through a white cloud touches the patchwork spread on the hill the washed colors of the afterlife that lived there long before you were born see how they wake without a question even though the whole world is burning

Lake Kaindy (Қайыңды көлі, Qaiyñdy kölı, the "birch tree lake" or landslide), also known as a “sunken forest”, is a lake located in the Kolsay Lakes National Park in Kazakhstan, 129 kilometers away from Almaty. The lake was created as a result of a landslide triggered by an earthquake over 100 years ago, forming a natural dam that blocked the gorge. Surprisingly, the water that filled the dam didn't destroy the spruce trees. Instead, it created a lake and its cold temperature prevented the tree trunks from decomposing.

adulthood notes:

The Rodeo Rule: you only have to do it for the first time once.

The Rohan Rule: if you are at a social function full of new people and you want to be liked, find someone doing important work like setup or food prep and offer to help.

The Tutorial Mode Rule: to navigate an unfamiliar situation where you fear you will mess up an interaction, preface the interaction by mentioning that you've never done this before, and let them know if you have a specific concern or question.

The Rocket Science Rule: most new things you want to try seem very complicated but are simple when taken step by step.

The [X] Will Remember That Rule: if you need to make small talk with the same person on a regular basis, try to save one fact or current event in their life from a given conversation and bring it up next time you talk.

The Cool Binder Rule: by wearing clothes and accessories that are to your taste instead of trying to blend in, people will be more likely to compliment you and show interest in you as a person.

Discord will enable global age verification soon

Now's the time to move

[elkian]

Okay so you need to:

go to discord support ( https://support.discord.com )

sign in or sign up (you do not, and imo should not, use the name and email you use for discord proper. this is a different account; if you've got Firefox, you can use an email relay mask very easily, and the email will end up in your inbox but the site won't know your email from it)

"Submit a request" (at the top)

fill all the dropdowns (I did "Help & Support" -> "Technical Support" -> "Account Settings" -> "[OS type"). it won't let you proceed until you do

Subject line: something about age verification

description box: keep it civil, but be clear. you don't like this, you're not participating, and you're not giving them your money anymore (whether you had nitro or not is irrelevant, remember that you didn't use your actual discord login to get here and they have no way to verify).

some reasons possibly worth mentioning: the insecurity of databases (Discord's had multiple leaks; databases being hacked isn't possible to prevent afaik, it's a matter of mitigation), the dangers of putting one's govt id on such a database, the technical problems people are already experiencing where it's already been established, how it will disrupt communities

be very clear that this is going to cost them money. "I won't use your service anymore" is a common threat ("I'm never shopping here again!") - you need to make them feel that they are losing money just by considering it, and it will get much worse if it's implemented.

If someone has a better method, please lmk.
