I’m almost late but… Happy Pride month guys!! <3

I'm coming to realize how vital it is to keep a running list of shit you did in the past few weeks so that you can participate in small talk. It's literally not anything to do with them being interesting at all it's just having Something to say to give people even the barest thing to hold on to. It's so you don't get into the "what have you been up to" "nothing much what about you" "yeah same" trap. Literally just say something.

What have you been up to? Um well it's getting warmer so I've been having to brush my cat every day.

Like no it's not that interesting of a thing to say. But now they can respond to it. They could say, man yeah it really is heating up, I've been trying to think of things to do inside more often. Or, oh you have a cat? What's their name?

Like. It's Something. All you need is Something. And if you're like me and your brain immediately goes blank upon entering small talk then keeping a list will help you remember things to say.

"Blackbird" - personal work, inspired by my hometown. Blackbirds are my favourite - they sing so beautifully.

I thought y'all might like to see Niagara Falls lit up for Pride.

Hope you had a good one!

some people on the internet have only been on here for five minutes

i will never get over this one i’m afraid

The second attempt!! I think I’m over all much happier with this piece now 🥰 I know it makes for a very busy illustration, but I really enjoy all the colors and textures :D

For those that didn’t see the debacle in my instagram stories, I polled my followers with a WIP of this illustration to see how many liked this mosaic version better than the frame I’ve been doing with this series, and most people did! For those who did prefer the frame, I’m very sorry, but I will be moving forward with this new version 🥲 if anyone is devastated about this, I could potentially do a special print run of the originals once my shop is finished being set up, but future pieces in this series will be in the new mosaic style 🥰

(Also, at some point, I will absolutely be doing a second Morrigan portrait with her Veilgaurd design because it’s gorgeous!!)

[stonesense]

hawke: wait guys we can’t flee the city yet i called for my servants to bring over a carriage full of my valuables and it isn’t here yet

anders: sweetheart i’m trying to do a revolution here and you’re killing the vibe

hawke: that all black revolution wardrobe doesn’t grow on trees anders

#varric cut this part out because it did kill the vibe (via stonesense)

"everyone should get more aromantic" can appeal to tumblr's sensibilities but I genuinely think everyone should also get more asexual. I don't mean everyone stop having sex, what I mean is

Sex is not essential. You can live without it. Full stop.

Not having sex isn't shameful or a sign of failure. It also doesn't make anyone boring.

You are not entitled to having sex with anybody and nobody is entitled to having sex with you.

Sex is not what makes someone an adult.

Nobody's worth is defined by how much sex they have or don't have.

Sex is not equally important to everyone.

You can have fulfilling and happy relationships without sex.

You should only have sex on your own terms, not because you feel like you owe it to someone, or because you feel like you'd be incomplete without it.

Know your boundaries around sex and be firm about them. Know how to respect other people's boundaries.

The previous point also applies when it comes to discussing sex. If someone doesn't wanna talk about it or hear about it you have to back down.

Anything can be sexual but not everything has to be sexual.

I've seen this clip many times, but never really appreciated the power of "what was her problem?" Just casually assuming that lesbians come in a wide variety of shapes and being inclusive. As a transbian who is probably still closer to Homer shaped than to my ideal, that's huge!

I just have to lock in and get through my to-do list and then I'll start my new system with a clean slate and everything will be better.

Me, replying to every malingering email in my inbox: "It's going to be such a relief to clear this out finally!"

Everyone I'm replying to sending a response at the same time because I emailed them at the same time: ...

[ms-demeanor]

I'll set a calendar event for two weeks ahead of time and two days ahead of time so I won't forget.

[ms-demeanor]

If I just remember to do it every day it'll become a habit and I won't have to think about it.

[ms-demeanor]

I'll just stay at my desk until all of my tasks are done for the day and then they won't build up.

[ms-demeanor]

That's important, let me write it down on my hand so I can't ignore it.

[ms-demeanor]

If I skip lunch I'll catch up a little bit and I won't have to stay late or start early to stay on top of things.

[ms-demeanor]

I think if I work late all week that'll get me through the backlog and then I just have to keep up.

[damndorothea]

i saw this somewhere else but reply / tag what you did today so everyone can see that we all did something different today

[boeing747]

nothing in the world is mundane someone spent years of their life studying and thinking about culverts and building upon the countless work of others and our historical collected knowledge of fluid dynamics and construction materials just so that your shit doesn't get flooded all the time and you dont even think about it! have you ever considered the culvert really? and its like. fucking everything is like this
