A witch is a magic user with more focus on medicine and the body and a wizard is a magic user with more focus on like physics and academia. I don’t know what dingus made up one day that they’re just the 2 magic genders, that sounds stupid
witches = magic doctors, wizards = magic researchers, artificers = magic engineers, alchemists = magic chemists, sorcerers = magic youtubers
What about warlocks?

I think next thursday is gonna be the best day of my entire life tbh
reblog for next thursday to be the best day of your life
not risking it
I like how this post didn’t threaten me or my mother if I did not reblog…very wholesome. Have a great Thursday
I have a test. Not risking it
I’d like to put a reminder in this post that all you’re risking is a normal Thursday, and reblogging only gives you internal positive vibes. It’s a bit unsettling that any post that jokingly gives good luck is always interpreted as having an implicit threat. Your Thursday’s gonna be great. <3
#honestly i dont care if its fake
It’s not. It happens every day all around the world.
Reblog to be blessed by the Florence of happiness and magick.
-_- and :/ are irreplaceable emoticons that emojis will never be able to touch
literally 😑 & 😕
if you think 😕 has the same power as :/ you are a blind fool
It’s rare for threads about religion to be wholesome
This is amazing I love it
Having Ehlers Danlos Syndrome sometimes feels about the equivalent of being composed of jello and wet spaghetti. Nothing stays where its supposed to. Literally every single cell in the body is floppy, so fingers are definitely an issue for many of us. I can almost guarantee that for the majority of us, writing is not only slow and painful but nearly impossible at times. FIne motor skills? What even are those? An EDSer surely doesn’t have any of those. Even typing which is far easier than writing, is painful and daunting at times. But last year I joined the population of shiny zebras by getting fitted for a set of Silver Rings Splints and they are beyond magical.
For those of you who have not heard of The Silver Ring Splint Company, they are a company that custom makes finger splints that look like elegant pieces of jewelry. Don’t believe me? Well I can’t even tell you how many compliments I’ve received for them. Nobody even suspects that they might possibly be medical. But more importantly, they work amazing! I still have hand pain and finger dislocations when performing fine motor skills and writing is definitely not something I look forward to but I have saved myself thousands of painful dislocations, I can open doors easier, type faster, write longer and hold objects in my hands without looking like an alien from a sic-fi movie. With the rings on my fingers actually look like fingers rather than tentacles!
The company is also family owned and the people are so sweet and helpful!
If you are having trouble with hand pain, clumsiness and dislocations please check out this amazing company!

I’m literally crying right now. I will be able to use my hands!!! As it stands I can’t do dishes, hold things, write, hold books, type, without pain or dislocation. Oh my gosh. This is a miracle.
@peaceypanic
those are gorgeous and that is amazing how well they’re working! signal boost!
I love these things. I use one for my thumb because due to arthritis I have very little strength/support in the joint and therefore often can’t do anything. My splint makes it possible for me to do my job, do the shit i need to do and not have as bad of pain.
these are so cool
omg the first ehlers danlos post I’ve seen, this makes me happy!
I know people following me have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome so here you go! I hope this helps you.

hey why can’t I stream the lizzie mcguire soundtrack on like any streaming service why can’t I find what dreams are made of literally anywhere how did we all manage to retain all those lyrics when I literally can’t find a copy of it anywhere
high fantasy writers should stop ripping off all their inspiration from tolkien and start taking notes from little girls’ imaginary schoolgames
every fantasy fiction writer wants what a 5 year old girl brandishing a muddy stick like it’s a sword and screaming in a language she made up herself has
I lost something when I grew up and I try not to think about it but posts like this make me

THERE’S ART NOW???!?
i have this unnerving fear that i’m gonna meet keanu reeves in some tight elevator and his eyes are going to burn into my soul as he tells me the secrets of this universe then bites me on the neck to give me immortality so he’s not alone anymore
Keanu if you’re listening I’m not a little bitch like OP come get a taste
what a beautiful day to call out some fellow white women for being so fucking rude to the pharmacy tech and tell a manager before they could that I hope if they complain nothing comes of it because she did nothing wrong and they were awful to her lol
they were passing around a customer service number to call and complain about her and were yelling at her to check if their prescriptions were done yet and “I gave you my (complicated dutch-sounding) name before why can’t you just look it up?!”
and they kept looking at me like they were expecting me to join in on their racist harassment and boy were they shook to shit when instead I loudly told them off for their horrid behavior and I didn’t care how long they had been waiting
bitch I’ve waited hours at cvs at times when there were multiple pharmacists and cashiers (and it was only her and one pharmacist in all day today) and I’ve never treated someone, anyone, in customer service the way they were treating her so, no, that doesn’t excuse your behavior
the lack of staffing isn’t her fault!! Her heavy accent isn’t her fault!! The fact that you waited until you needed a prescription tonight to go to cvs at the 11th hour sure as shit isn’t her fault!!!!!!
so I told her she was doing great and then found a manager and let him know that there were a couple of women being truly awful to the woman working the pharmacy and that I know they’re going to complain so I hope nothing happens to her because she did nothing wrong
he seemed shocked that I would say something but was definitely grateful that I did so I hope nothing comes of it and she’s okay and gets to go home and eat comfort food and rant about terrible customers to her loved ones because I’ve been there and that shit hurts
anyway my point is don’t let your fellow white people assume you’re on their racist side and then leave the person they’ve been harassing to the whims of whatever corporate’s policy is
hey ao3 can you like give the extra $38k you made from this month’s funds drive to charity
You know it legally is a charity, right?
If x charity aims for £10, but gets £15, would you expect then to give back the extra five or give it then to another charity? No. Any extra costs go into the “rainy day” fund; sometimes servers crash or break, sometimes false reports are made that require the legal team, sometimes you need to hire coders or what not to implement new features or fix bugs or deal with broken code …
The money they aimed for is the bare minimum, which goes towards things like basic server costs and domain names and legal advice and so forth, but they don’t just “pocket” the rest (as people claim). It’s not a business. It has no advertisements. It needs some “rainy day” cash to function.
You can’t ask a charity to give money to another charity.
It needs what it gets to function and improve.

They don’t “pocket” excess money. They have a publicly accessible budget - waaaay more info than most charities, in fact. In it, you can clearly see where each dollar goes. (Also, you are vastly underestimating either how much traffic AO3 gets or how much servers/hosting costs.)
In my experience, people who don’t work in web design and hosting just have no concept of how heavy a load something like AO3 would have. Not only is the traffic absolutely buck wild, but the quantity of data that archive needs to store is fuckoff crazy. I’m talking “more than the library of congress” crazy. The only reason it doesn’t require Netflix levels of data serving is that it’s text based rather than video.
AO3 is in the top 300 websites in the world, and the top 100 in the US. It is the number 2 literature website.
Number 2 in the entire world. JSTOR is 20.
It sees about 6 million people a day. About 250k an hour. Each of those people is loading multiple pages, many are running searches that execute on literally hundreds of potential variables per search. The demands involved are astronomical.
JSTOR, btw, makes 85 million dollars a year.
It’s 18 ranks below AO3′s traffic, and takes in 650 times the amount of money.
But let’s say you think that’s an unfair comparison. Would you say that the Project Gutenberg Literature Archival Group- another text based archive that handles literature operating outside traditional copyright requirements- is more similar?
Because it sees all of 4% of the traffic that AO3 handles.
Care to guess its budget?
Double that of AO3.
AO3 is doing shit on the kind of shoestring budget that I fully, 100% cannot comprehend. And that’s just the archival service.
The 130k also pays for the OTW’s legal team, which they use to defend the right of fandom to fucking exist.
It’s absolutely batshit fucked up that people are fighting to have the OTW defunded and AO3 shut down. They are the only organized group that actually stands directly between fandom- all the art and the fics and the vids and the music and the chats and the memes and everything we love about interactive, transformative work- and an incalculable amount of lawsuits.
Can I also add that apart from running a legal team and the best online library around, they also run a free, peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to fan studies called Transformative Works and Cultures.. They incorporate studies of fandoms from all around the world, and are able to follow very closely with fandom trends. Studies found in TWC are leagues better than those cringey ‘I heard about this fan-dom thing from my teenage niece’ essays.
Just reblogging this to remind everyone that AO3 is fucking incredible and it has singularly transformed fandom.
five bucks says John Mulaney’s next special will center around tumblr & what it did to him
You know we had to do it to him
god imagine he finds the slashfic about himself
and critiques it
Im already scared and excited
“‘With a hungry moan, John placed his hands onto Nick’s head and guided it downwards, towards his huge’ - Ok, let me stop right there. This is a gross misrepresentation of reality. I am not, and have never been, huge.”
“Also why would the moan be ‘hungry’?!”
“Also, why would Nick need my guidance? He knows where everything is, he can damn well find his own way. I’m supposed to be enjoying this, and you’ve got me navigating?”
“DO I LOOK LIKE A GPS TO YOU? Nick’s a man he knows how it works i dont need to give instructions. Its a fucking blowjob not an IKEA desk!”
“Also, while we’re on the subject of Mr. Nick Kroll. There’s an entire chapter in this oeuvre that depicts, in fairly purple prose, how during my college years, I would come up to New York to see Nick, and we would go out on walks through Central Park, or go skating at the Rockefeller Plaza, or cross the Brooklyn Bridge at sunset, and then we’d enjoy a romantic dinner at some fine restaurant, and to cap off the evening, Nick would take me home, and we would make tender yet passionate love.
This chapter enraged me in a way I have not experienced since the second quarter of ninth grade, when John O’Brien sold me an acid tablet that I later found out was actually a temporary tattoo. I was grinding my teeth so hard reading this shit, I scared the dog off the bed. And then I went to my therapist, and I told her about all this, and I said, ‘What do I do, doctor, I’m just so angry, it can’t be good for my health, and also it scares the puppy.’ And she said that the only way to deal with this anger would be to confront its source head on.
So since this is being filmed for the special, I thought I’d act out of character for once and let my feelings be known. Conveniently, Nick Kroll is sitting right there, in the first row, and oh look, he’s doing that thing where he’s laughing so hard he’s shut his eyes entirely and can’t see me anymore. Look me in the eye, you miserable uncaring asshole! Let it be known, ladies and gentlemen, that in all the years I’ve come up from DC to see him in New York City, not once, not ONCE! NOT EvER!! had Nick Kroll done anything so sweet and considerate as treat me to a romantic outing and a fine dinner, to say nothing of pleasuring me afterwards! You know what really happened when I was in college? I would spend three goddamn hours on a bus, breathing dust and gas fumes and like seven different flavors of unwashed bodies and unbrushed teeth, and I would then spend an entire weekend following Nick from dive to dive, listening to shitty sets, and yes I *am* including Mister Kroll’s set in their number, and I would be buying my own goddamn drinks! YEAH! It *is* a fucking outrage! And then at night we would take the fucking G train back to his place - not even a taxi! And I would crash on his lumpy couch that gave me oh, so many skin rashes, because of course who needs bed sheets? And to top it all off, when I would wake up on Sunday morning, just before I’d have to schlep back to Penn Station to catch the hell-bus back to DC, I would discover that Mister Kroll had stolen my last half-pack of Parliaments!”
John? Is that you?
Did John Mulaney write all of this?
Half way through I went from, this person is good at writing as John mulaney, to: this person is definitely John mulaney
