I’ve been meaning to ask this for a while and I am sorry if it comes off oddly. How do you navigate an intelligence gap in a relationships? I have dated men of equivalent or greater intellect and found them inadequate in other ways, but when I have dated men less intelligent than me I become frustrated with them and their insecurities bleed into the relationship. You and Ship (or the personas you perform publicly) seem content. How do you avoid getting frustrated? [cont.]

"[part 2] I mean no insult to Ship of course. They seem very attentive and I used to really enjoy their detective skits. From the contents of your blogs they come across as so much less intellectually curious that it surprises me that you are compatible. Do you get adequate intellectual stimulation from other relationships/is that not a need for you in a partner/are my standards unrealistic?"

i have no idea how to respond to this. we have all been in absolutely helpless hysterics about it for the last thirty minutes. this is by far the most deranged ask I have received about my personal life on this website in my fifteen year career on here, and that is saying quite a lot

i can't decide which part of this message is my favorite, but if I HAD to say, probably the part where you appear to be entirely in earnest about this? in almost any other case I would assume a message like this was an elaborate way of insulting me or my partner or both, but I really genuinely don't think that's the case for you, which is actually MORE confusing. its just so compelling. there's so many layers here. i want to hire someone to cross stitch this for me so I can hang it in our living room. i can hear ship intermittently breaking out in peals of hysterical laughter in the kitchen

my experiences are universal and provide an undeniable framework for understanding all of reality

nobody else is capable of understanding my experiences and i am, nobly, alone in this world

Finding out AI companies are chewing through - literally, they’re pulping and burning them as they go - millions of books often including 1/1s and old texts that cannot be reprinted

Meanwhile there’s always some dipshit telling me AI is the future and we’ve got to just let companies erase human history and literature so they can train their abomination machines to pretend to think like people because a judge said it’s fine

I don't think every character ever needs to be shipped with someone maybe they just need to be shipped in some sort of box alone to a location

(7/30/26) The Red Cross just declared the second US blood crisis in its history.

Summer sees both a drop off in donations and, at least for our trauma center, a spike in traumas. Trauma centers across the US are in danger of running out of blood for our trauma patients TODAY, which is very scary but, unlike much of the other scary national news coming across our screens these days, is something you can help fix immediately and directly.

We need ASAP donations of blood, for people to spread the word, and for manager types to help facilitate others' donations. All blood types are needed, but universal donor blood (type O) is especially dire.

[tam--lin]

Useful notes and reminders from the reblogs:

Many things that previously made people ineligible have been rolled back. If you previously thought you were ineligible, please consider checking current guidelines!

While O- is the most dire need as it can be safely given to anyone in an emergency, all types are needed! Our emergent release blood is being pulled for patients who have a high chance of death if they don't get blood within the hour. Once they're stabilized, they can have their type confirmed and get blood of a specific, matching type released to them so that O- can go to the patients who need it most.

Canada is also in a blood shortage, not just the US. Even if you're not in the USA or Canada, maybe check locally, especially if it's summer where you are.

like i can’t express how much hope it gives me seeing other people’s niche obsessions or ship content or whatever even if it’s “fandomslop” or already existing characters it’s so much better than making nothing i have to tell myself this repeatedly YOU HAVE TO MAKE THINGS EVEN IF THEY’RE STUPID AND “BAD” PLEASE DON’T EVER STOP. YOU KNOW WHY BECAUSE I WANT TO SEE THEM. DO YOU KNOW HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS TO LOVE LIKE THIS

[skittynation]

let me add to this Everything you make has importance despite what you might tell yourself. everything has its place in the world even if you’re not doing as much as you want to. even if you don’t talk about it. even if it gets no reach. even if you’re not writing of pages upon pages of life-changing literature or groundbreaking character analysis even if you’re not pumping out 10 pieces a day or your art is unpolished or your skill level isn’t where you want it to be. even if it doesn’t have any explicit or “real” meaning. even if you think nobody will care. even if you’re the only person in the world who gives a fuck. even if you hyperfixated on something for a little bit and forgot about it AND DON’T COME TO ME WITH THE “i can’t control what i fixate on it doesn’t actually mean anything” that DOES NOT negate its impact you loved this thing so much and you kept doing it. you engaged with it in a way that made you happy and THAT is what matters I’m shaking you by the shoulders and screaming it at full force until you can’t hear anything else YOU HAVE TO LOVE YOURSELF YOU WILL THRIVE FOREVER
