Nosebump time! Ai Chang's been through some stuff, but at least he gets to look like an anime character and make new friends. And maybe more~
Wesley belongs to @cjrydel, also the organizer of the faerie-Bachelorette OCT adventure where these two met.

Help Everyone Find A Job In Their Field
cheat code
This will work, I used to be a recruiter. Recruiters don’t got time to read every single resume they see, they look for keywords, find what they want, Call and do a preliminary interview. That’s it lol
This is amazing
Boosting this!
AMAZING :D
I will remember this tip!
I have no idea if this works at all, but I don’t see how it could hurt. I’m all about resume cheat codes. Here’s some more advice:
How to Write a Resume so You Actually Have a Prayer of Getting Hired
How to Write a Cover Letter like You Actually Want the Job
I do this and I will at least get a call back though I don’t have all the skills.
Get that call honey, then you play to your strengths and get. That. Job. Honey. 👏👏👏👏
Send your resume in pdf form unless specifically requested to do otherwise. Microsoft office documents can contain viruses so recruiters aren’t as eager to open those up, unless they know you.
From now on im tellin jobs I was General manager at Toys R Us. Who tf they gone call
That’s actually a wise move that many people do practice. Don’t have enough job experience, but need it to get the job? Put yourself down as having had experience in a position in a company that is no longer in business, especially if it closed years ago. They literally have no way of verifying this (do not do this for chains wherein only the store closed, but not the chain). It’s a good way to fluff up your resume, just make sure you put down a position wherein you used skills you already have.
For instance, you can say you were a Personal Assistant – typing, data entry, responding to emails, taking phone calls.
Or you were an entry level cashier/customer service worker. Retraining is simple at that point.
Need brief training on that, so that you can say you literally were trained?
All for free, just sign up with Alison. Takes 2 seconds to login with your google account, and then you can take some open courseware. Open University is another good place to go for good business acumen courses.

Seriously, Alison is amazing. Most courses are only around an hour or so long, and you can say you have some knowledge or some experience in these things… because you do.
Local Bookstores Have A New Weapon In The Fight With Amazon
In the book industry, Amazon is Goliath, the giant who overshadows everyone else. But there’s a new David on the scene, Bookshop.org.
It doesn’t expect to topple the giant, but it has launched a weapon that could make Amazon’s shadow a little smaller, and help local bookstores fight back.
Bookshop.org, a website that went live at the end of January and is still in beta mode, is designed to be an alternative to Amazon, and to generate income for independent bookstores. And, perhaps more importantly, it seeks to give book reviewers, bloggers and publications who rely on affiliate income from “Buy now” links to Amazon a different option.
Profit from books sold through Bookshop will be split three ways, with 10% of the sale price going into a pool that will be divided among participating bookstores, 10% going to the publication that triggered the sale by linking to Bookshop.org, and 10% going to Bookshop.org to support its operations.

y’all, Bookshop is amazing. i got an email about them from my local indie store, and they’re so excited about it. please oh please use this place instead of Amazon!!
with every purchase, they tell you how much you’re putting toward independent booksellers, which is fun and cute:
it’s also amazing for authors! i’ve been asked a couple times about the best way to support my books. this site is now the answer. it reports sales figures to the NYT and Bookscan, a type of tracking that helps authors hit bestseller lists. and even better, authors can set up affiliate pages, and if you buy through those pages, we get an additional 10 percent of each sale on top of royalties. this is a massive deal!!!
for reference, many royalty rates are in the 6-8 percent range. so if you buy through Bookshop author affiliate pages, authors get more than twice as much from sales of their books, with no additional cost to you.
the site is still in beta, but it also has a fun interface where you can make book lists for favorites or recommendations, sort of like goodreads (except better, because goodreads is owned by amazon).
this is my Bookshop page. if you ever buy one of my books, i pray u will do it from this site! (or from your local indie :D)
I don’t know much about cars. I am just a humble funny blog post writer. Despite this, I was given a used car. Who’s responsible for this? Only God knows. I like the car because it used to do three things very well:
1. go fast 2. take me to work where I get money to live 3. go to drive-in window for Taco Bell sometimes It is useful and good. But!!! It’s gone bad. :( I took it to a repair shop. “Power steering is over and fluid is leaking,” they said. “No,” I said. “It costs $2,665,” they said. “No,” I said, more emotionally. Now the car doesn’t have power or steering or fluids, all of which are necessary for a car to go fast. Especially power. I NEED MORE POWER. With more power, I will be able to do the following and possibly more: 1. go faster 2. be at work and contribute to society 3. put more stickers on the car 4. Taco Bell As you understand, all of these are very important. I’m asking for $2,000, which is $665 less than the repair because I have $665 and I am helping us win at funding. Every dollar donated will go towards making the car go fast and powerfully again. Funds are needed SOON, because Taco Bell has a $5 Chalupa Box deal and I really want one.
Please donate to make the car go fast HERE.
If we win at funding, as a reward to you all, I will post a picture of the chalupa. I promise this.
Thank you. Have a nice day. I love you
Totally inspired by @Sterrenschijnsel having created a Vampire version, and a DnD version. Since Changeling is my favorite White Wolf game type, I figured I’d make my own inktober prompt list. All of these are up for interpretation, of course!
Tag me and/or use #CTLinktober to let me see your stuff! This’ll also be posted on twitter :)

The quest to learn how to paint digitally continues, this time with an Elijah! My succulent-themed ex-military Elemental struggling to balance his training with his morals. His tabletop adventure has sadly come to an end after a year of playing, but I wanted to give him one good drawing effort before setting him aside to work on other characters. You did your best, lad, and I’m proud of you.
Characters exist for one purpose and one purpose alone and that's to entertain ME by being put in pretty costumes I find on the internet, FACT.
Following the example of a few people I’ve seen around, I updated the method for commissioning.

So. Here’s the skinny:
A friend of mine, after grappling with some pretty severe health issues, pushed through and made her childhood dream come true to boot: she opened up her own bookstore in Edmonds! HELL YEAH!
But running a bookstore ain’t easy, and they’ve recently had to shift locations, so they haven’t had a ton of foot traffic lately. Which is a shame, because look at this place. It’s adorable. Here’s just some of the perks this place has:
Themed displays to showcase marginalized and underappreciated authors and character types! Their current display is based around disabled main characters, and as a disabled writer myself, that’s incredibly rad.
Flash writing/poetry slams that are free for anyone to participate in! You want to go up and read your memoir? Your vent poetry about politics? Your Sonic x Reader fanfiction? Knock yourself out.
Themed book group meet-ups! There’s a sci-fi/fantasy book group, an audiobook and crafting group, a romance book group, even a group dedicated specifically to reading books from non-American authors and expanding people’s cultural palate.
Readings and Q&As from local authors!
Nanowrimo write-ins!
An adorable dragon mascot!
Anyway, my point is, if any of y’all are in the Seattle area, I would definitely, definitely recommend you check the place out. Or stop in on April 5th for the writing/poetry slam if you want to see me slap words into a mic.
If you can’t do either of those things, reblogging this post and helping it blow up would mean a lot, if you want. Thank you!
Someone pointed out that this post doesn’t have a website or address, and they’re absolutely right! I wanted to be cautious (since last time I had a post with a link to a non-Tumblr site it was flagged for spam), but there’s no room for caution in business. So here they are: The website is theneverendingbookshop.com!
The address is 7530 Olympic View Dr #105, Edmonds, WA 98026!
I LIED, I’m bringing this post back once more to say THANK YOU! We had April’s open mic recently and it went great. A lot of people showed up and shared a fantastic variety of stories and poems, thanks in no small part to everyone who liked and shared this post to spread the word around.
If you missed out, don’t worry! There’s an open mic on the first Friday of every month. Next month’s is May 3rd, so mark your calendars if you want to stop on by, or just spread the word and show your support for local artists and performers.
I take commissions! Please check them out. Writing is something I love doing, so there are lots of slots for that!
The Official “Log Off” Protest F.A.Q!
The “Log Off” protest is in response to the recent NSFW ban announced by Tumblr. The ban flags all content the filtering system detects as NSFW, reducing visibility to the community. The system has proven time and time again that is inefficient, oftentimes flagging SFW material as NSFW.
This SFW material includes art, memes and so on. This ban directly hurts the community and will not solve the actual problems at hand due to the poor flagging system. Because of this, the entire community will suffer.
So to respond, I propose that every user on Tumblr logs off of Tumblr for 24 hours on December 17th at 12 am EST.
Times are listed above depending on timezone!
This post responds to some very common questions about the protest. So make sure to read it over!

Thanks for your support guys. Let’s fight to make Tumblr better. Actually better.
Hey y'all! For those who’ve been asking, this is the info about what this blog is doing on the 17th. I hope y'all will join me.
