What really ticks me off when talking about ai is when people are like "it's unavoidable" or "you'll have to learn to use it someday" or "its going to be part of the future" like no it's plenty avoidable actually if you have a spine stronger than a dandelion. You simply say "no" and continue to use your own goddamn brain.
I GOT A FUCKING RAISE THE POTATO WORKED WTF
This potato works. Every. Fucking. Time.
Then bring me luck
the day after I posted this last time I was notified that I was selected for a really cool mentorship gig and got an unrelated glowing review at work
And notice the potato doesnβt guilt you with βif you donβt, something horrible will happen.β Potato wouldnβt betray you like that, because potato is a refined person of good humor and character, and understands that, sometimes, a visit to your dashboard just isnβt convenient right now. Sometimes you just went on a fandom gif reblogging spree or your energy is low, you do not have the time to make your dashboard suitable to guests, and a polite visit just isnβt in the cards. Potato understands this, and doesnβt get upset, or gods forbid, throws a tantrum and wishes ill on your household. Instead, Potato merely stores away their blessings for a later visit and leaves as a good friend should.
Be like Potato. Be a good friend.
oh uh. scuse me. just a lil snail crossing your dash
show, don't tell:
anticipation - bouncing legs - darting eyes - breathing deeply - useless / mindless tasks - eyes on the clock - checking and re-checking
frustration - grumbling - heavy footsteps - hot flush - narrowed eyes - pointing fingers - pacing / stomping
sadness - eyes filling up with tears - blinking quickly - hiccuped breaths - face turned away - red / burning cheeks - short sentences with gulps
happiness - smiling / cheeks hurting - animated - chest hurts from laughing - rapid movements - eye contact - quick speaking
boredom - complaining - sighing - grumbling - pacing - leg bouncing - picking at nails
fear - quick heartbeat - shaking / clammy hands - pinching self - tuck away - closing eyes - clenched hands
disappointment - no eye contact - hard swallow - clenched hands - tears, occasionally - mhm-hmm
tiredness - spacing out - eyes closing - nodding head absently - long sighs - no eye contact - grim smile
confidence - prolonged eye contact - appreciates instead of apologizing - active listening - shoulders back - micro reactions
α¦ this barbie is a race car driver
"did you hear who honda signed?"
"yeah, the daughter of the guy who owns the team."
"what's that about? can she even race?"
"that's what she claims, according to honda's team principal."
"i reckon they just said that cause she's the boss's daughter."
a pair of heels clicking against the polished ground makes the men huddled in a circle collectively turn their heads. the overwhelming clad of pink makes some of them raise their eyebrows: a baby pink dress peeking through her dark pink jacket.
"fans aren't allowed back here," max says hesitantly with a small smile.
"we can take a picture, if you'd like," lando grins, stepping forward. "have you got a phone on you?"
the woman tilts her head. her eyes are big as she stares at the crowd of men in front of her with her shiny lips puckered unknowingly. she furrows her eyebrows slightly, making alex suck in a deep breath.
great, another fan who will villainise them for pushing them out of a restricted area, is all alex could think.
they watch as she takes a deep breath. she perks up with a wide smile, throwing her head back dramatically. she waves her hand in the air with a laugh. "no, silly! i drive for honda," she says with a grin. "you must be lando! and, max, right?"
lando's eyebrows shoot up in shock. a small smile stretches his lips. "oh, i'm so sorry. i didn't mean toβ"
"it's no problem!" she giggles, scrunching her nose at lando. "we never met so that's okay!"
she introduces herself and extends her arm out to them with a grin. "congrats on all the titles!" she says to max with a smile. she turns to george with a grin. "i love the hilfiger sweater. i can't seem to find one in my size when i went shopping yesterday."
"uh," george trails off, glancing at alex briefly before looking at her again. "i can try and get you one. no promises, though."
"right," max grins. he points further into the hallway. "the driver's briefing is the last door on the right."
"of course!" she claps excitedly. "it was nice meeting you! i'll see you guys later!"
she waves at them excitedly, earning herself a chorus of dull and monotonous goodbyes and unenthusiastic waves.
alex points at her figure walking down the hall. "very barbie."
"ah, that's who she reminded me of!"

public libraries in the usa offering free digital library cards to people not in their areas (as of october 2023):
brooklyn (13-21yo us residents)
seattle (13-26yo us residents)
boston (13-26yo us residents)
los angeles (13-18yo california residents)
san diego (12-26yo us residents, not the whole collection just commonly banned books)
these cards (part of the books unbanned initiative) get you access to each library's complete libby/overdrive collection (unless otherwise mentioned), no hoopla/kanopy/physical copies included.
ebook collections are expensive to maintain (many american libraries have annual fees for non-residents because of this) but because of an uptick in book banning (particularly brutal in mississippi last summer) larger libraries have opened their doors more, which is very kind of them!
i've used my seattle card for the last several months and their libby collection has about three times the books that my local library does, which is wonderful for accessing more niche titles or skipping a waiting list. would love to hear of similar ebook initiatives internationally!
i use library extension (firefox/safari/chrome compatible) to check all my collections (+ the internet archive) at once, works for several different countries highly recommend it.
spotify seems to be offering 15hrs/month of audiobook listening to premium subscribers and while that does seem useful if you're already paying and are after a new release with a long library waitlist, libraries are better for everything else.

The way Edward says βhiβ in twilight (2008) dir. Catherine Hardwicke retweet if you agree
I will never forgive the bots who send me fake messages.
I see that [1] next to my messages and I am like "FRIEND??? MESSAGE FOR ME???" and then I see a bot. There is no greater betrayal. Stabbing me in the back would hurt less and also be less lethal. 10 000 agonies upon me. Unbelievable.
Now, don't get me wrong, TVs at the time were very small.
And broadcasts were not the highest of quality.
But if youβre still tryinβ to keep a secret about who the evildoer actually isβ¦
β¦maybe, y'knowβ¦ donβt zoom in all the way.
Especially when the comprehensive cast of other characters is two people, and this is one of them.
βSoβ¦ there was a suspiciously-suspicious lady, a suspiciously-unsuspicious old guyβ¦ and the gangβs met no one else. Who could the villain possibly be?!β

Are the Cullens always "the Cullens" or do they rotate through the names? And how do they decide what name to use?
Is an order you joined the family thing? Cullen, Masen, Platt etc. Or do they draw names from a hat?

girl this is my time to shine
I'm thinking like hotch making breakfast for girlfriend!reader (who also works in the bau) every morning but this time she's like super busy w a case and wakes up before him and just gets to the office sooner. So like he figured you haven't had breakfast yet and packs it up in tupperware π₯² and he just throws it on your table and orders you to eat. everyone's like staring and shocked bc obviously dumbass hotch just revealed your relationship to everyone
Penelope's the first to see Hotch storming through the BAU. She catches a glimpse of him as he barges through the doors, intent on asking him for next Tuesday off, but stops at the killer glare on his face and the speed at which he's stalking towards the conference room. She barely has time to grab her phone before he breaches the doors, typing out a quick 'Hotch coming your way and he doesn't look happy!'.
She hadn't caught sight of the bag in his hand, but the rest of the team does. Your eyes are the widest as Aaron rips a tupperware out of the brown paper he'd wrapped it in, tossing it at the surface of the table at a perfect angle, so that it slid towards you and stopped just in front of your paperwork.
"Eat," He commands, and Derek's eyes don't miss the sharpied Hotcher scrawled into the lid of the tupperware.
"Didn't know Hotch was your personal chef," He tries lightening the mood, not sure why his boss is throwing two pieces of french toast at his coworker, "Do I get any?"
"Not unless you pay a third of our rent," Aaron grumbles, still grouchy from the upset of his routine, "But there's not room in our bed for you, so you'll have to take our couch."
"Our- our rent," Penelope catches up to you all at the perfect time, "Our couch. Our bed."
"This isn't how I imagined it," You admit, popping the tupperware open and finding a fork tucked inside, along with a mini container of syrup, "But I guess we had to at some point."
"How long?" JJ leans back in her chair, an incredulous grin on her face. She's happy for you, even if she did almost just wet herself at how angry Hotch seemed.
"8 months," You speak through a mouthful of toast, syrup clinging to your lips, "We figured we knew each other well enough to just move in after a month or two."
"That's why he's been happier." Reid muses, understanding flooding his eyes. You appreciate that he's not being crude or vulgar in finding out, but Rossi steps in to do it for you.
"That makes so much sense! I thought he just got laid."
"Apparently he did," Emily ignores the pointed glare that Aaron shoots at her, choosing instead to grin at Derek who lets out a deep chuckle, "Can't believe he's been up our asses for years and all it took was feeling yours."
