in absolute tears about the pride module at my work
HOLY SHIT GUYS, I WAS INSPIRED BY THIS POST TO TRY MAKE THE SONG AND YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE SCREAM I SCRUMPT WHEN I DRAGGED THE TRAINING AUDIO OVER THE BACKING TRACK AND IT LINED UP PERFECTLY
Tempted to actually put this on spotify so I can secretly stream it at work...
Tagging @batshit-auspol because as an Australian you're the only big account I know who might share (sorry).
happy first day of pride everyone
They’re really normal.
i realize i only have this on twtter so. if anyone wants a body hair note guide or whtver this is. here u go wweeee
childoodles for ur troubles
edit: i wasn't expecting this to get many notes... there are some things i definitely would've done differently or expanded upon, maybe i will some time when i feel like it (yea, people can have hair on the areola... i've just never seen it for some reason .wtf)
but, most importantly, just have fun with drawing body hair :) it comes in so many different styles for so many people, just get silly with it! use refs!
it might just be because im sleep deprived from jetlag rn but this r/relationship_advice post is making me cry actual tears of laughter. i read the post at first and was like yeah pretty standard whatever but im nosey so i clicked on the drawing op linked and i was not mentally prepared for it. putting it under a read more so you can get the same experience as i did

not to sound like a boomer, but I need some people to learn how to write emails in a semi-professional (at the very least) format so you're not cold emailing a business/potential employer/any other stranger about formal matters in the exact same way you'd DM a close friend on instagram
the formality/language can loosen up in the email chain once you've established a rapport and you match the other person if they're being less formal, but please don't have the very first email you send a stranger be written in all lowercase ultra-casual sms slang with no greeting or signature and a billion emojis
Can I just ask, why?
(adding your tags since I'm addressing them)
It’s polite, for one. Professional doesn’t need to mean elaborate—in fact, most professional emails are aiming to be as clear and concise as possible. (in english at least, I know some other languages have some very complicated and elaborate email etiquette)
Greetings and signatures also don’t need to be elaborate. I feel like lots of people overthink it and assume that professional emails need the whole “dear x, my name is x and I am writing this email to inform you about [topic], sincerely [my name and all my contact info]” shebang, when really it’s as simple as adding a quick greeting/signature and avoiding super informal slang.
Here’s an comparison using art commission inquiry as the topic, written with zero extra fluff:
Hi, Are you currently open for commissions? Thanks, [my name]
If I want to add a little more fluff, maybe I write:
Hi, I love your art and wanted to ask if you're currently open for commissions. Here are details of what I'm interested in. Thanks for your time! Thanks/best/etc, [my name]
Those are very short while also being more polite than an email that just says:
are u open for comms??
with zero greeting/signature and very informal tone.
There’s still a person on the other side reading that email, and just like how being polite with a customer service agent on the phone will get you better results than being rude with them, sending a clear and professional email will have you taken more seriously by whoever is reading it. All 3 emails get the same point across, but the last one leaves a much worse impression. You don’t speak to your close friends the same way you’d speak to strangers, and it’s the same in text form. I get so many emails that are just abrupt questions, with not even a quick "thank you" either in the initial email or as a follow-up after I respond, because they ghost me as if I'm just a chat bot answering questions.
I know complaining about email language sounds like a ~corporate america white-collar bullshit~ kinda thing, and there is indeed significantly more elaborate email etiquette that can vastly differ depending on your job/field that I’m not addressing at all, but just having the very basics goes a long way in how your emails are viewed by other people.
Also relevant when emailing your college professors. Bonus tip: Do not call your professors by their first names unless they have told you to. Particularly women and POC tend to get called by our first names by students while white men are more likely to be called Dr X or Prof X, so it comes across as especially disrespectful. Generally, if you address your emails in whatever way your professor signs their emails to you, you should be good.
To make a comparison, imagine you are a woman on a dating site. Which communication are you more likely to respond to, the one that says "Hi, I'm Dave and I am also into That Thing You Like and you seem cool." Or the one that says "nudes?"
One of the above messages is the business equivalent of "nudes?"
As someone who used to take cold inquiries of commission work, when deciding whether to take a commission (like a lot of professional decisions) you're deciding how likely this person is to be good to work with. And if you think they can't express what they want in words it's gonna be rough. And if they don't seem to respect you or value your time it's going to be hell. So I'd turn down anyone that approached me like that.
It doesn't have to be formal. You can say "Hey there. How's it going? I super dig your work and I'd love to work with you on...whatever." But it should at least be respectful. And close with thanks.
Possibly the best heel work I've ever seen.
you CANNOT leave this in the tags
Submitter comment: I'd like to submit this '[s]tudy of defensive behavior of a venomous snake as a new approach to understand snakebite' not for it's topic (worth studying!) but for it's insane methodology, which... well, I'll just let the researcher speak for himself:
[Q: Why did you decide to do this experiment?
A: Snake behavior has been generally neglected as a field of research, especially in Brazil. And most studies don’t examine what factors make them want to bite. If you study malaria, you can research the parasite that causes the disease—but if you don’t study the mosquito that carries it, you will never solve the problem. Up until now, the popular wisdom was that the jararaca would only attack if you touched it or stepped on it. But that was not what we found.
Q: Why did you need to be the victim?
A: The best way to do this research is to put snakes and a human together. In this case, the human was me. We put the snakes inside a ring on the floor of our lab until they got used to it, then I stepped in wearing special protective boots. I stepped close to the snake and also lightly on top of it. I didn’t put my whole weight on my foot, so I did not hurt the snakes. I tested 116 animals and stepped 30 times on every animal, totaling 40,480 steps.]
From the recent (aptly named) interview: Researcher steps on deadly vipers 40,000 times to better predict snakebites
do you guys ever think about how Wyll is introduced as an archetypal fantasy hero, but then it turns out he’s a warlock, who made a pact with a devil. Do you ever think about how Ansur is described as this fantastical dragon of myth, but then when you find him, he’s turned into an undead monstrosity. Do you think about how when Wyll does the right thing, he is punished to become more monstrous. Do you think about how as Wyll’s warlock powers grow, his spells get more horrific. Do you think about how Ansur was killed by his closest friend. Do think about how Wyll was cast out by the most important person in his life. do you guys ever think about Ansur and Wyll.
this oicture is so fucking funny
*wakes up hungover within an inch of my life*why yes..I gyess you could say im.somethig of a Thinker
i'm sorry but if harry does actually say all of the horrific necktie lines out loud in a funny voice this becomes the funniest moment in the game. imagine being face-first in corpse and you hear your partner say "el bigo mistako, lieutenant!" under his breath behind you
I hope you don’t mind, but I slowed the gif down because that is a FANTASTIC move.
this is the kind of shit that gets described as “quickly disarmed him” in writing and truly doesn’t do it justice
