i do tend to call people girl/my guy/bruv/bruh etc. gender neutrally so pls do tell me if you'd rather i not for you (i'll try i promise)

Something you should prolly know about me: i, in most situations, do not know what to say, especially if we're talking about depressing topics n stuff, mostly cause I don't know how to word it very well. Thus, I tend towards using humour to lighten the situation or offering unwanted advice, both of which can very much be interpreted as rude, so if anything like this happens that bothers you please tell me I'll keep it in mind

ANOTHER thing to keep in mind: I will insult you if we're close, and it's always done out of affection (eg bitch bastard asshole) but if I'm actually pissed with you I won't do don't take it personally please TvT and tell me if it causes problems I'll cut down

i think that's it i'm very bad with tagging posts but if i figure out a system i'll add it here update i've started tagging stuff:

#worm tried to art <- that's my art tag (acc no I'm making it my tag for all my creative stuff)

#worm obsessively book <- that's my book stuff tag

#ventilation <- that's my tag for when I'm venting or ranting (I'm not consistent with tagging it but I try so... Dont kill me please-)

#worm screeches <- that's my tag for when I try to sing something

when someone calls me their friend my heart skips a beat it’s like i won at being myself

[creepycrag]

i think we need copyright reform. currently most works are protected by copyright for the life of the author plus 70 years. here are my two proposals.

18 years. this is enough time for the work to grow to adulthood and begin to care for itself

life of the author + zero years. i like this one because it encourages you to kill people

[this-machine-k1lls-fascists-dea]

Really happy to see this at my local library

[oracleanne]

OOOOH. *happy YA librarian dance*

[thessalian]

I want this in every library, everywhere. After all, some kids won’t even google this stuff because they don’t want parents/siblings checking their browser history.

[adventurer-c]

This is really awesome. And if you’re not familiar with how the Dewey Decimal system works - the numbers subject-based, which means these numbers are applicable in EVERY library. So if you see something you want to research on this list - look for those same numbers in any of your local libraries.

This is wonderful.

There's an awful trend in reading that's this CinemaSins kind of rejection of abstract concepts and suspension of disbelief, that makes people say it's bad writing when authors use descriptions that aren't immediately one to one with physical reality.

Like it's bad when a "tattoo is undulating" (as opposed to... "drawn in a wave like pattern on the skin"?), or when hair is "wet wheat from a late Summer field" (as opposed to "sort of brownish light yellow that dries lighter, but is not actual wheat stalks growing on someone's head but kind of reminiscent of the color and texture"?), or when when ice cream tastes like midnight at the fair" (as opposed to "ice cream flavour bringing back memories of undefined ice cream flavours that are individually popular but always tied to a memory of late evening at the fair ground and probably smelling vaguely like popcorn and sugar"?).

Please. We have to get back to understanding abstract descriptions that evoke feelings and memories and mental images or things we haven't experienced yet. This hyper utilitarian way of reading and judging text is killing fiction. it's robbing you of experiencing things you haven't actually personally experienced.

HOW TO START (2026)

[phantomrose96]

A master to his action-hero trainee says, "Your movements are sloppy. You lack awareness of your body when you fight. Your hands move and yet you do not hold them in your mind's eye. Come. We will remedy this."

And then the master paints his trainee's fingernails and orders the trainee to complete a series of complicated tasks without smudging the nail polish.

[phantomrose96]

Trainee grumbles that this is stupid when the first set of tasks is just cleaning the dojo. Within two minutes he reaches for the dustpan and knocks the edge of his pinky nail against it in a way he's never noticed before. He's staring at the baby blue smudge and suddenly he understands things differently.

[phantomrose96]

There's a montage of days passing as he fetches water, chops wood, hoes crops, washes clothes. His nails are a different color during each cut. He's sprinting up the mountain with a fresh wet pedicure and the master is nodding in approval. The master's nails are flawless tech art.

[phantomrose96]

He's reached his final assessment and it's a sparing match against his master. The air smells of acetone. His and the master's nails are all freshly painted. He must land a blow on the master with his mani and pedi fully intact.

Suns and moons pass. Streak in the ring finger. Smudge on the pinky. A full-handed block at the cost of three nails of paint. A hit on his master, and he hoots in delight until the master points out the unguarded toe whose polish is now streaked across the master's robe.

Days pass in frustration and exhaustion. By day 40, he has every digit of his acutely in his mind's eye. He senses the master's attack, ducks, dodges, all fingers all toes all himself, aware, and he strikes with his wooden sword.

It connects with the master. The master pauses. The trainee raises his left hand into view--5 digits of flawless sunflower yellow. His left foot. His right foot. And finally his right hand, raised in triumph.

The master smiles. "You have passed. I have just one more technique to teach you."

The technique is how to draw little flowers into the nail art. So really this one is optional.

PARENT: I got "rubber duck" for my child's "bath" and she loves it.

AUTISM RESPONSE: Rubber ducks and other rubber bath toys can accumulate mold on the inside because of small holes underneath where moisture becomes trapped. The mold often goes unnoticed because it's not visible from the outside.

CORRECT RESPONSE(?): That's nice, I am unaware of how mold could impact this situation.

[obsessivebookwormalert]

@shenanigan42 I'm gonna buy you some rubber ducks

[shenanigan42]

YAY RUBBER DUCKS

Hello, Grace… I have an offer…

Right now I possess a bunch of souls at my disposal and yet I have no use in them…

Do you perhaps need help in something?

I could use some help managing my kids, there’s six hundred of them now…

[crowns-of-gods-offical]

What

Six hundred, you say…?

And I assume you don’t plan on stopping…

A mere mortal having so much loyal followers… Tch…

I am so… HAPPY for you, Grace…

I think I have better things to do now. Like murdering a few creatures…

[ryland-grace-official-account]

What? Are you… are you mad at me or something?

[crowns-of-gods-offical]

Oh, I am just upset that the growth of my cult is slower than before…

Although it is no surprise. Truly, it is a shame that mortals in this realm are all so safe. Desperation was always a good motivator to join a deity’s religion…

Mmm… I think I have an idea now…

[ryland-grace-official-account]

Okay… have fun! I really hope you get more traction, you deserve it! 

[obsessivebookwormalert]

HEY IM BOTH IN YOUR CULT AND ALSO ONE OF THE CHILDREN HELLO THERE
