writing adult emails is awful

its like

hi [name of person], 

this formatting is making me uncomfortable but I have to tell you something / ask you something that is vital to my career as a student. 

I re-read and edited that sentence for an hour, but you’ll probably just glance over it for half a second.

thanks!

I have a stock format and structure I use.

Dear Person I am Writing To:

This is an optional sentence introducing who I am and work for, included if the addressee has never corresponded with me before. The second optional sentence reminds the person where we met, if relevant. This sentence states the purpose of the email.

This optional paragraph describes in more detail what’s needed. This sentence discusses relevant information like how soon an answer is needed, what kind of an answer is needed, and any information that the other person might find useful. If there’s a lot of information, it’s a good idea to separate this paragraph into two or three paragraphs to avoid having a Wall of Text.

If a description paragraph was used, close with a restatement of the initial request, in case the addressee ignored the opening paragraph.

This sentence is just a platitude (usually thanking them for their time) because people think I’m standoffish, unreasonably demanding, or cold if it’s not included.

Closing salutation,

Signature.

People always ask me how I can fire off work emails so quickly. Nobody has figured out yet that it’s the same email with the details changed as needed.

I’m really glad that KC Green’s work is being more widely recognized after the whole “This is not fine” comic came out.

He’s been in the comic making game for a really long time and he has…a bit of a knack for creating things that are used as reaction images and never credited back to him.

He’s a really cool guy and a great artist and I HIGHLY recommend following his work.

[coratorium]

i feel like its important to add that hes also responsible for dickbutt. thats an important part of his resume

[toonelemental]

Some lesser known KC Green Career Highlights:

honestly I swear he’s like. the best at unintentionally making reaction images

[dogmobile]

[daisenseiben]

He also did the “I guess!” comic, didn’t he?

[featherdark]

[raisinbrandy]

We’ve all been fans of KC Green this whole time and never even knew

[transwolvie]

there’s also THIS classic, which is usually reduced to this: 

for a reaction image 

[qozxe]

a majority of these comics come from KC’s Gunshow! It’s over now but it ran for a loooong time and has an amazing archive of his comics. I HIGHLY recommend reading through it all, it’s a goldmine

[thebardette]

He’s currently working on a new comic called Back with Anthony Clark. It’s about a gunslinger named Abigail who is destined to bring about the end of the world, except she kind of just does her own thing. It’s very good and very funny!

[bogleech]

yes Back is excellent and he also does a strange, dark comic about an anthropomorphic acorn, entitled He Is A Good Boy.

Every one of those reaction images is also 10x funnier in the context of their original comics.

Sleep paralysis is weird… you’re awake but your body literally can’t fucking do anything, your brain is going “back to sleeeeeep” but your survival instincts are saying “DON’T GO BACK TO SLEEP OR YOU’LL FUCKING DIE” you end up being this creature that’s half way to an anxiety attack but literally can’t do anything about it… mother nature why did you design this shitty animal

[hamenthotep]

And then your brain projects a demon into your room because why not?

[34ther]

Brain: this situation isn’t hellish enough I’m gonna add some uuuuuhhhhhhhhhh…satan

[hamenthotep]

The first time it happened to me I had a witch, complete with pointy hat, green skin and a wart on her nose, floating on a swirling black cloud above my bed.

I was about 12 at the time.

[shado48]

man i feel sorry for you guys. The first and only experience i’ve had with sleep paralysis was literally just a bunch of fucking ants crawling all over my body, but like it was a poorly looped gif of ants and as soon as I realized when the ants reset to their original position, they started floating off my body in chunks and clipping through my bed. Hands down one of the top 5 funniest things to happen to me.

[34ther]

It seems you were suffering from sleep bethesda

India's gay prince opens palace to the LGBT community

A gay Indian prince has opened up his 15-acre palace grounds to vulnerable LGBT people and is said to be constructing more buildings to house visitors. Prince Manvendra Singh Gohil, who is the son and probable heir of the Maharaja of Rajpipla in Gujarat in western India, will run the centre with his organisation The Lakshya Trust. The royal, who was ostracised by his family after coming out publically in 2006, started the community based organisation to support gay men and educate people about the prevention of HIV/Aids.

“I want to give people social and financial empowerment, so eventually people who want to come out won’t be affected. They will have their own social security system. It won’t make a difference if they are disinherited.”

[fdsfjdsfjkf93723679267-deactiva]

fyi guys

‘the office type’ is a game in development you’ll be hearing about a lot. its transphobic garbage. it heavily implies you have to be pansexual to date trans people, it calls non-binary a ‘third gender’ and their current representation of NB people is what appears to be a 50/50 male/female mix.

the devs themselves refuse to listen to these legitimate concerns. i tried talking to them about it on twitter and instead of acknowledging that i, an actual IRL non-binary person, found their current actions to be transphobic, they just kept arguing with me like a bunch of children instead of saying something a simple as ‘we’re sorry to hear that, we’ll do better’ 

i highly recommend you stay away from that game or you at least hope that they listen to the actual concerns of trans people and make changes.

[clowncorpse666]

While the “three genders” thing is a legitimate issue, the devs did say there are going to be many more nonbinary characters that are going to be more diverse in presentation than the two that they’ve shown.

Also I didn’t see any implications of you have to be pan to date a trans person, I just saw people asking if there was going to be trans representation, which the devs assured them there was going to be trans representation.

People really seem to be excited for this game and excited to be represented, but we’ve only seen 6 out of the 24 dateable characters. We don’t know what the rest of the nonbinary chars are gonna look like, and as a trans person myself, I’m excited to know that the guy who played Damien in Dream Daddy is going to be involved with this project as well.

[rennekin-moving]

I @’ed the devs on Twitter, asking if they had a release planned since… You pick 1 character from each set of 3 office supplies, and there’s 8 sets, so that’s gonna be a lot of writing especially if there’s story elements where 2 characters will have to have a conversation (and the personality traits given suggest that they’re not just variations of the same character, but different altogether).

They responded with this:

Which seems pretty promising to me at least, they seem to be quite responsive as the game’s early in development, too early for them to project a release date.

They also released a response to the concerns about the nonbinary characters.

They have also said that the colors being that of the pansexual flag was a coincidence, as they were going off of the CMYK printer ink colors.

I think it’s way too early to write off this game, we should be patient for more information to be released before formulating an opinion.

“nick and gatsby were in love and would have been together if the heteronormative ideology of the time hadn’t prevented it from being explicitly stated in the narrative” i say into the mic.

the crowd boos loudly. i begin to walk off in shame and sadness, when a voice speaks and demands silence from the room.

“she’s right,” they say. i look for the owner of the voice. there in the 5th row he stands: f. scott fitzgerald himself

i can’t believe that photo of hemsworth hiddleston and taika waititi all taking a nap together that’s so cursed and blessed at the same time 

[eroscestlavie]

i’m the fact that the person taking the photo had to use a panoramic shot to get all of tom in the photo 

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

this is the most real photo of a set I’ve ever seen why do actors always nap in clumps

[medusabraids]

i just thought of all the bad racist fan art we’re gonna have to endure when black panther comes out

[medusabraids]

you guys have a month and a few days to learn how to draw black characters i don’t wanna see any art where t’challa looks like a racist caricature or like a white man with a tan and a perm

[nononookytv]

theres 100000000people on tumblr who complain abt calarts & its all for very petty personal things, there are some serious fundamental problems w administration, fund distribution, the arbitrary divide between the experimental/character animation programs & the deliberate isolation of the character students from the rest if the school, also sometimes james franco shows up to our school unannounced & its a fucking nightmare

[nononookytv]

if ur interested in hearing abt any real problems at calarts heres a great thread by a character student: https://twitter.com/altoriego/status/930986086377013248

Just throwing it out there

If you’re the kind of person with “unfollowing anxiety” I want you to know it’s okay to unfollow me

 I don’t care if we’re mutuals, friends in real life, family, whatever

You aren’t obligated to follow me, I don’t keep track of followers/unfollowers, I don’t “do inventory” and see if my mutuals are still following me, and I definitely don’t ever “call out” someone for unfollowing me
