let's just wing it.

I obviously can't do a blog I'll just post whatever.

[anarcho-smarmyism]

already knew landlords were bastards but reading that landlord tell fuck knows how many people to sell their cars, spend all their retirement savings, borrow from friends and family, and pay their rent before they fucking FEED THEMSELVES because “it’s more important to have a roof over your head than buy groceries” and “your money goes to pay my mortgage” really hit differently this time ……im pretty sure the guillotine jokes are 99% jokes but bro if you’re going to extort money from people who cant work without risking them and their children’s lives and threaten them and their families with homelessness during a worldwide pandemic? you honestly can fuck around and find out

[anarcho-smarmyism]

So I can only find shit about this guy on tumblr (if you find out its misinformation please lmk), and apparently the guy who posted it apologized and quit when his business partner confronted him, but this is what I’m referring to:

hey landlord buddy that sucks btw where’s that (1) of the places of living you own that you actually use, which I’m also supposed to starve and risk my life and the lives of my family to pay for, while you sit on your ass and throw my neighbors on the streets to almost certainly catch and spread COVID-19 and die+cause untold other deaths? Thoughts of peace and courage for you too asshole turn on your fucking location

[anarcho-smarmyism]

well sometimes life just isn’t fucking fair to the idle rich who get their livelihood for contributing nothing to the economy and controlling a basic human right, is it

[cthulhulovesewe]

It really shouldn’t be illegal to kill your landlord.

[foxthebeekeeper]

A neighbor called and said she saw a swarm on a fire hydrant so I grabbed my bucket and ran there as fast as I could. I dabbed some lemongrass oil on the bottom of it and they walked in. After about 5 minutes I just scooped the rest in and bam! Free bees!

I got the queen on the first scoop too though. Apparently she was a new one because she was piping in there really loudly. This is my first personal swarm catch so honestly I’m not sure if that was supposed to happen or not.

[droct0]

What other website am i going to see posts where the op talks about “bam! Free bees!”

[kitbulls]

[bitchwhoyoukiddin]

I feel this is an appropriate post to retell the time my dad got free bees (found an extra thrown swarm) but didn’t have any equipment to transport them, so he just grabbed the queen in a pint jar, let the other swarm into his Ford Escort, and drove down the highway to home with a swarm of bees loose in the car.

I would honestly die of delight to find someone who watched my dad (~72 white guy) driving down a major Illinois highway with a swarm of bees loose in the car just chillin.

I’m sorry, he’s just like that.

[rapid-artwork]

Had an idea for a character.

His name is Faro the Flesh Merchant, he used to be a handsome incubus, but he started using his shapeshifting powers to help humans who felt bad about their appearances. He doesn’t mind his new form because he loves helping humans reinvent themselves.

You can trade your unwanted body parts to him and he will give you new ones.  He is like a walking character creation screen. He carries around unwanted body parts until he can find someone new who will love them.

Bonus:

Faro says trans rights.

This Creature is a truly wholesome gift and I love him

[cryptiboy]

what if public libraries were open late every night so that:

- children and teens who cant get home until a later time have a safe, warm, well lit, populated area to socialize, charge devices, rest, etc

- children and teens have a safe place to go to stay away from danger

- people who have jobs that take up most of the day would still have time ANY DAY OF THE WEEK to go use the libraries facilities (printing, computers, etc)

[raptorkin]

This is exactly what public libraries are trying to achieve - public libraries as a third place is a whole thing - it’s just that the funding isn’t there (yet).

[captaindibbzy]

Libraries need and deserve so much funding

[entamewitchlulu]

I’m going to apologize if this post comes off as sounding very aggressive, but having just been through one of the most stressful experiences of my entire career in libraries: 

if you want this, you need to be at your local community government meetings. you need to be talking to your representatives.  you need to be out there Lobbying.

Just a few weeks ago, my library, me, my coworkers, we had to write letters, send emails, make phone calls, speak at council meetings, just to beg our aldermen to give us our usual funding. Which they didn’t even give to us last year.  Losing last year’s funding forced us to cut staff, hours, and all of our databases.  If we’d lost this year’s funding? two positions would have been gone and we would have likely had to close on Saturdays.  On Saturdays.  The day of the week most of y’all working M-F jobs actually have time to go to the fucking library.

And do you want to know how much money we were asking? We were asking for an increase of approximately 13 cents a person.

13.

Fucking.

Cents.

ACROSS AN ENTIRE YEAR.

No one seems to understand how libraries are funded.  It’s not just Free Stuff.  It’s your tax dollars being paid back into your community.  It’s crowdfunding.  The highest cost anyone in my community pays for the library a year is approximately $250.  Divide that up.  That’s just $4 a week.  That’s less than a coffee.  It’s the equivalent of purchasing about 10 hardcover books a year.  For that price, you could have access to every book that has ever been written, a place to go that’s not a bar, programs for kids, teens, and adults, educated staff that can help you find the answers to your questions, and so much more.

You want these late-night libraries?  You want all this stuff?  Start fighting for it.  Start showing up.  Start making phone calls.  It’s not going to come out of thin air.  Start fighting to erase the idea that taxes = evil.  Start fighting to spread the understanding that taxes are what help us build a better society.

Make sure the people who represent you know that you want this.  That this is where you want your tax dollars to go.  That this is what you want them to support.  That you are willing to see your tax bill go up a few more dollars for this.

Because otherwise?  None of this is going to happen.  Libraries are going to keep cutting their opening hours.  Keep cutting staff.  Keep cutting programs and databases and collections.

We NEED your support, and we need more than just a post on Tumblr.  We need to see people show up and speak out.

Nickelodeon have announced a plan to build an underwater theme park in Coron, Palawan, Philippines. They claim the 400 hectares would “advocate ocean protection,” however by building artificial structures they will actually damage and disrupt Palawan’s marine ecosystems - one of the Philippines most beautiful natural areas.

For a channel that targets children, this is unacceptable and sends a terrible message - to destroy the natural world and replace it with plastic and fantasy. 

WE need to preserve what we have left and celebrate the beauty in nature. 

If you agree, join Save Philippine Seas and 150,000+ others and sign the petition here: https://www.bataris.org.ph/petitions/no-to-nickelodeon-s-underwater-theme-park-in-palawan

[fluffy-raccoon-artist]

This isn’t WoY related, but by god this is so messed up.

Nickelodeon, your most famous charactr is a seacreature, and you choose to destroy a part of a beautiful Philipine reef….to promote ocean protection?

Have you taken charity lessons from PETA and Autism Speaks? Kill what you promote to protect?

Fuck you seriously.

Guys, please sign the petition!

[gay-spaghetti]

PLEASE sign the petition.

As a marine biologist, Stephen Hillenburg would have never approved of this :(

[gluten-free-pussy]

I was high off my ass last night and had this dream where I was in this dense ass forest and sitting there was a tall woman. She was so tall I couldn’t see her face but she was wearing gold and I was like “uh…hi?” And she said “I made you, do you know that?” And I nodded and she was like “I hear your thoughts. Why do you hate my creation? Why do you try to destroy yourself? I made you perfect as you are. Please don’t break my heart”. Then she started crying and it flooded and I woke up with fucking heart palpitations like what does it Mean™️????

[radioactivepussy]

radioactivepussy’s top 5 favorite ways to respond to unsolicited dick pics:

1. “why he look like that?”

- implies that the penis is its own dude

- ominous

- person will inevitably respond with “like what?” to which you can respond “fuckin ugly, buddy”

2. “WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?”

- leaves person confused

- implies that you’ve never seen a penis before

- person will inevitably respond with “my dick” and will be forced to accept the fact that yes, they did just send a random stranger a picture of their penis

3. memes (see below for examples)

4. this picture...nothing else

5. block button

- simple and effective

People on this website… Have no idea what a baby boomer actually is…

[ladiesloveduranduran]

A quick and dirty guide to some generations:

The Greatest Generation: Born between 1901 and 1925 (approximately).  The people who fought in World War II, parents to the Baby Boomers.   Steve Rogers is part of the Greatest Generation.

The Silent Generation: Born 1926-1945 (approx).  Grew up in the Great Depression.  This is your grandmother who refused to throw away anything “just in case.”  Known for not being particularly politically active.  Donald Draper is part of the Silent Generation.

Baby Boomers: Born 1946-1964 (approx).  After the Greatest Generation got back from World War II, they started having lots and lots of babies. A boom of babies, if you will.  Hence Baby Boomers.  Baby Boomers are people in between the ages of 55 and 73 today.  They grew up in a time of unprecedented affluence, thus their association with consumerism and Captialism.  Your stereotypically 80s businessman is a Baby Boomer, but so were Anti-war protesters of the 1970s, so it’s complicated.

Generation X (Gen X): Born 1965-1980 (approx) The MTV Generation, the Latchkey generation, inventors of Hip-hop and Grunge.  Gen Xers are between the ages of 39 and 54 today, so most middle aged people.  

Millennials (Gen Y): Born 1981-1996 (approx).  Unique for having grown up in the early days of Information Age.  “90s kids.”  Unable to find the intense economic prosperity our parents the Baby Boomers were able to find.  A much maligned generation, we have been described as both “narcissitic” and “incredibly generous.”  Millennials are between the ages of 23 and 38.

Generation Z (Gen Z):  Born 1997-Now (approx).  Kids!  Gen Z is known for having  been born deep into the information age, and therefore not really remembering a time before modern technology.  Gen Z is a very politically active generation

[frognonbinary-deactivated202412]

i’ve been doing my homework on how to break into a writing career and honestly. there’s a Lot that i didn’t know about thats critical to a writing career in this day and age, and on the one hand, its understandable because we’re experiencing a massive cultural shift, but on the other hand, writers who do not have formal training in school or don’t have the connections to learn more via social osmosis end up extremely out of loop and working at a disadvantage. 

[frognonbinary-deactivated202412]

like, i didnt know about twitter pitch parties!! i didnt know about literary agents and publishers tweeting their manuscript wishlist, in hopes that some poor soul out there has written the book they really want to read and publish!! this isnt some shit you learn about in school! you really need to know the ins and outs of the writing community to be successful! 

[frognonbinary-deactivated202412]

for anyone interested, here’s what i’ve learned so far in my quest for more writing knowledge:

1. Writer’s Market 2019 is a great place to start– it gives you a list of magazines and journals that you can send your work to depending on the genre as well as lists a shit ton of literary agents that specify what genres they represent, how you can get in contact with them and how they accept query letters. this is a book that updates every year and tbh i only bought it this year so i dont know how critical it is to have an updated version  

2. do your research. mostly on literary agents because if you listed on your site that you like to represent fluffy YA novels and some asshole sends you a 80k manuscript about like…gritty viking culture, you will be severely pissed off. always go in finding someone who you know will actually like your work because they’re the ones who will try to advocate for you in getting published.

3. learn how to write a query letter. there are slightly varying formulas to how you can write an effective query letter. you’re also going to want to get feedback on your query letter because its the first thing the literary agent will read and based on how well you do it, it could be the difference between them rejecting you outright and giving your manuscript a quick read

4. unfortunately, you’re gonna want to get a twitter. Twitter is where a lot of literary agents are nowadays, and they host things like twitter pitch parties, where you pitch your manuscript in a few sentences and hashtag it with #Pitmad #Pitdark, some version of pit. a lot of literary agents and publishers will ALSO post their manuscript wishlists, which is just the kind of books they’d like to represent/publish, and they hashtag this with #MSWL (it is NOT for writers to use, only for agents/publishers)

5. connect with other writers, literary agents, publishers at book events. you will absolutely need the connections if you want to get ahead as a writer. thats just kind of the state of the world.

Important info is important -.-

[frognonbinary-deactivated202412]

UPDATE: so i just got signed by an agent bc of twitter pitch parties. for any aspiring writers, you dont HAVE to go the twitter pitch party route, its just another way to get noticed a bit faster
