Girl you are an obligate carnivore

Polychaete of the day is such adorable Phyllodocid that looks like a little bunny with big ears.

Op I think you need to look up a picture of a bunny.
And then look up pictures for a centipede and then a Reaper Leviathan.
I spent the afternoon arranging our books by size and color (and it’s so satisfying and looks amazing) and my partner came home and stared in shock at the bookcase and then said “i’m a librarian, you can’t do this.”
him: you split up all the song of ice and fire books
me: yeah i know, they’re all primary colors, it’s perfect
him: [self-destructs]
You’re a monster
As a former bookstore employee, this hurts my soul. I mean, sure it looks nice, but how do you find anything?
it has occurred me during this process that apparently not everyone thinks about books by what color they are? like, literally when i’m looking for a book, i picture it in my mind. i have a very…tactile experience with the books i read and idk! i thought everyone did that lol.
my partner was like “how will i find [this book] for instance” and i replied “easy, it’s purple” and he looked at me like i was a witch.
OP your brain is neat and I love you for it you funky little color-coded cupcake. But you’re still a monster.
This actually is interesting in terms of information-seeking behavior, which is a thing librarians think about a lot and often actually study (some library jobs require you to publish, and academic librarians, for instance, will often use the students at the college they work at to study how they search for information in order to figure out how to best provide them services).
When you go for an MLS (Master’s of Library Science, which is a thing, and which is usually required for “professional-level” library work [which is also a weird and contentious concept that I won’t go into here]), one of the things you study is the organization of information. This deals with how to determine what a book or other material is “about"—a concept we tongue-in-cheek call “aboutness"—and how to convey that to a potential user of the item and make it easy for them to find. Things like keywords and subject headings, do I put this book about how often wild birds attack aerial drones in with books about birds or with books about technology, if its a fictional novel do I put fantasy in it’s own section or mix it in with all of the other fiction, so on and so on.
OP is organizing books by how they would look for them. OP’s partner is thinking in terms of aboutness. This is a system that works for OP because it’s their personal library: they know basically what books they own and they only own books that are relevant to them, and if they know what the book looks like, that can be a quick way to find it.
In a library that assumes the public (or people who do not own that particular collection of books) are using the collection, that doesn’t work. Books are often re-issued in multiple covers, or re-bound in new covers when they get worn out, and if the user doesn’t know what the book looks like or is expecting a different cover, they’re lost. That’s why non-personal libraries used standardized cataloging systems like the Dewey Decimal System or Library of Congress System to organize a book by what it’s “about”, and then put books about the same or similar topics together, marked with labels and signage so a person unfamiliar with the book or collection can find their way to it.
Basically, OP’s system works for their own personal library, because it’s best suited to how the primary user—OP themselves—looks for books. OP’s librarian partner is coming from a background of thinking in terms of a public-facing collection, where aboutness is the key criteria and communicating it to a user unfamiliar with the collection is the priority.
And also, OP is a monster.
"But AI can't do your job. It can help you do your job, but that doesn't mean it's going to save anyone money. Take radiology: there's some evidence that AIs can sometimes identify solid-mass tumors that some radiologists miss, and look, I've got cancer. Thankfully, it's very treatable, but I've got an interest in radiology being as reliable and accurate as possible. If my Kaiser hospital bought some AI radiology tools and told its radiologists: "Hey folks, here's the deal. Today, you're processing about 100 x-rays per day. From now on, we're going to get an instantaneous second opinion from the AI, and if the AI thinks you've missed a tumor, we want you to go back and have another look, even if that means you're only processing 98 x-rays per day. That's fine, we just care about finding all those tumors." If that's what they said, I'd be delighted. But no one is investing hundreds of billions in AI companies because they think AI will make radiology more expensive, not even if that also makes radiology more accurate. The market's bet on AI is that an AI salesman will visit the CEO of Kaiser and make this pitch: "Look, you fire 9/10s of your radiologists, saving $20m/year, you give us $10m/year, and you net $10m/year, and the remaining radiologists' job will be to oversee the diagnoses the AI makes at superhuman speed, and somehow remain vigilant as they do so, despite the fact that the AI is usually right, except when it's catastrophically wrong. "And if the AI misses a tumor, this will be the human radiologist's fault, because they are the 'human in the loop.' It's their signature on the diagnosis." This is a reverse centaur, and it's a specific kind of reverse-centaur: it's what Dan Davies calls an "accountability sink." The radiologist's job isn't really to oversee the AI's work, it's to take the blame for the AI's mistakes. This is another key to understanding – and thus deflating – the AI bubble. The AI can't do your job, but an AI salesman can convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job. This is key because it helps us build the kinds of coalitions that will be successful in the fight against the AI bubble." - Cory Doctorow, The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Criticizing AI
Hey idk who needs this but helpful reminder that "virgin blood" in any witchcraft shit that requires that means "virgin" in the same sense as "virgin hair" means hair that hasn't been dyed or processed in any way, natural in the default sense. So no, "virgin blood" doesn't mean blood from a virgin, just blood that hasn't been used for any other kind of witchy shit earlier.
Whether nor not someone has fucked before is completely irrelevant. Any act of fucking doesn't instantly make someone contaminated or un-magic any of their shit. You're just not supposed to re-use blood for blood magic. That's just not. Just do not. Like that's just weird who does that.
no wait that- no that's not- no.
Unles you've like, poured out ALL OF YOUR BLOOD, used it for a spell, and then somehow SIPHONED THE WHOLE THING BACK IN, that doesn't mean the blood on the inside of you is also used. And even then, if you'd had your sacrifical blood IV'd back into your body-
actually nevermind, I need to draw a graph to illustrate:
I hope this helps.
The blood inside of you is used. Constantly. It's why there is blood there.
If anything, the blood on the outside is unused.
damn they ain't lying, it is like talking to a fucking genie with you people.
Once again, why does the coital status of the genie matter? Didn't we just get through with the how much sex you've had doesn't influence the magic talk?
hi so yeah im trying to find the hotel california and i know i have to take the highway to hell but i accidentally turned left onto the boulevard of broken dreams. i took the first hard right onto the rocky road to dublin cuz i thought it would loop back around but it didnt lol and i know im waaaaaay off course bc i just drove by the house of the rising sun haha. so how many miles until i get to the hotel
500 MILES?!?!?!
okay but what if everything went well and Roselle was a functional black emperor during the 5th Epoch
Roselle would call himself Klein’s sugar daddy
Your genius is not allowed to be buried in the tags
Yeah, these definitely deserved to not be hidden in the tags.
Also, I see very little difference between a sugar baby and a blessed in the context of lotm.
You are so right in the context of how blessed are treated there is basically no difference
What the fuck did I just read
Amani should retaliate by calling Klein kitten
So kleim is now stuck being sugar baby and kitten to his two seniors and is not happy at all
I'M FUCKING WHEEZING 😭😭😭😭
Amani: uhm so that's MY kitten, back off you damn womaniser. ofc you'd go straight to calling him your baby
Roselle: ok well where's the £100,000 you gave him huh? I don't see it anywhere. just a vague thing about lucid dreams.
Amani: he's an outside cat!!!! he needs to be left to his own devices!!!!!!
Roselle: he's my baby
Amani: nooooo!!!! kitty!!!!!!
Klein: ...
DcxDp Idea/Prompt
Danny became a Personal Chef as an adult- wait, holding on. Not that kind of chef. While Danny does and can make high quality meals for people, his actual clients are more often than not of the four legged variety.
It started when Danny got his own pet(s) and was unimpressed by the food options for them, so he made his own. He even went to Veterinary school, and became a pet nutritionist/dietitian, and that eventually spiraled into his career as a Personal Chef.
And okay, yes, Danny does also make food for the owners, as most people hire him for both aspects, but mostly he focuses on animals.
-----
Kara has been struggling with keeping Krypto fed properly. All the dog food she can find from kibble, to cooked, to raw, just isn't enough for his alien biology, and as a result hes been getting into stuff to try and satisfy his stomach.
One if Kara's work friends recommends Danny to her, claiming he helped her grandpa's Yorkie finally put on some weight, and he doesn't charge an arm and a leg. Without any other ideas, Kara bites the bullet and calls, preparing to pull out the "meta animal" excuse.
Except Danny doesn't ask about any of that. He asks about Krypto's activity level, any allergies he has, how often he gets treats/enrichment. He ran an exam on Krypto right in the living room, humming to himself and repeatedly giving Krypto treats to keep him in place. When he finished, he flipped a page in the notebook and started writing out a meal plan, working out with Kara how much it would cost and what day would be best for him to come over to cook.
As he was leaving, he pet Krypto almost fondly. "I've never seen a Kryptonian Hound in Earth before. He could do with a bit more exercise, but let's tackle his diet first, you've actually done pretty well considering all modern dog food isn't enough for him unless you over feed him." And then, as Kara was stunned and dumbfounded, the man left, promising to come by like they scheduled to give Krypto his first meal.
Did Kara want to pull a Bat or heck pull a Clark and research this guy? No. No she didn't, not unless he seemed like an actual threat, so she was just gonna leave it be. Besides, the guy was kinda cute, and Krypto didn't seem go mind him.
Deep down we all want to bite someone hard as shit. Jaw power on 100% for like 5 to 8 seconds. Just once.
The Ring of Rage sits upon the Ghost King's left hand, just as it has for all of time. It collects the King's anger, clearing their mind and storing it away for a better time, a better use. Pariah Dark's conquest was fuelled by its power and nearly depleted it. The new King (Phantom, they call him, but the Ring calls him Dan-Dan. The Ring thinks it's funny) has enough passive anger to comfortably fill it back up. ("I have issues," Dan-Dan tells it one night, "lots and lots of issues. I get it from my grandfather.") It takes on a less discreet form, at the request of the King, when they go on trips. Usually a little silver band. Sometimes gold, if the Ring is feeling particularly happy. But it likes taking on known forms. It's in its nature, of course. The Ring of a nearly god-like King should be known. Feared. Not that the King cares exceptionally much.
But the King doesn't oppose the Ring's changes. He even hums (a low vibration that would make a weaker artifact shiver) and runs his thumb across the Ring's new form. It's red now, with two curved lines and a circle on top. The King's never seen it turn red, let alone have a symbol. When he asks, the Ring proudly tells him that there are rings that feed off of anger in this new dimension. Why shouldn't it look like them?
Danny is suddenly meeting people (the civilian dressed Justice League) who treat him very nicely.
There's an old post/joke that goes around tumblr about ghost hunters where it's one person who believes, one skeptic, and one handyman who finds methane leaks and stuff.
But take it one step further. Like, if I had the friends, the technical knowhow, and a body that would cooperate, I'd love to make a tv show/youtube channel that was ghost hunting crossed with rennovation.
We kick you out of your house for a week.
Day one interview the owner, let the point out where they think stuff is happening, once they leave go over everywhere for obvious issues - carbon monoxide testing, unscrewing cabinets from walls to pull them away and check for mold behind them, check the curtains, etc.
Night one record for spooky in the house's more or less natural state.
Day two we either get the experts in for fixing CO2/removing mold if there's too much of it for us to deal with, etc, or start with the majorly destructive stuff. "Oh, you have cold spots here? Do you know if you have insulation? No? Punch some holes in the drywall, we're checking and if there's none we're tearing down the gib and putting some in!"
Night two more recording for spooky. Checking if things seen out of the corners of eyes could just be specific items of furniture in the dark.
Day three: rennovation continues.
Etc.
On day seven - if that long is needed - you come back to find we've fixed your ghost problem, fixed your mold problem, and deep cleaned your house.
Because sometimes a weird unwelcome feeling is mold, sometimes it's in your head/"supernatural", and sometimes it means you need to wash your fucking curtains.
We'll riff on Holmes On Homes and call it Homes On Haunts.

poor things, well we should definitely make this easier on them by never repeatedly mentioning their name and deeds on the "reblog things forever" website
yea that'd be a shame
by the way, just so everyone knows what not to do, shift+r reblogs a post instantly
just make sure you don't reblog anything about oceangate because that would completely undermine their entire plan 😇😇😇
You also shouldn't queue a post, that would make people keep remembering this post for a longer time, which is the opposite of forgetting
I mean what a shame that would be. Would be so counter intuitive.
