hello. this message is for trans people in kansas who are looking to leave asap. I live in colorado, in a relatively cheap rural area. the hospital I work at is hiring a multitude of positions; the job is fine and the wages are adequate at worst and good at best. this is a trans-friendly community in a trans-friendly state. I am happy to act as a reference for you and am happy to connect you to housing resources. please hit up my ask box or email me. feel free to share this post with people who may need this information. thank you, good luck.

“The old magic persists thanks to it’s unfathomable power.”

No, the old magic persists because the new magic can’t run the legacy spells I need to do my job, and keeps trying to install spirits I don’t want or need onto my orb.

[aqueerkettleofish]

Look, if the new magic didn't have a personality construct that kept trying to tell me which spells to use, maybe I wouldn't still be using the old magic.

[wizard-council-bureaucrat]

Yes it had a deep blood cost, but at least it was a one time sacrifice and not this monthly bloodletting nonsense new age magic has

[wizard-archivist-official]

The old magic is robust enough to survive a decade of use and it's compatible with every wand, staff, scroll, and charm in our collection.

The new magic stops working after three days and every spell uses proprietary runes.

Our preferences, as an archiving institution, should be pretty clear.

[charlesoberonn]

You try to get guidance for the new magic and the king's sorcerers maybe will answer you in a few days with an unhelpful suggestion to buy the newest orb.

You need guidance for the old magic and a dozen retired middle-aged wizards will pop up to explain it to you rune by rune if necessary.

[turnbacklime]

The fact that we're forced to use the new magic with all the new orbs, wands and staffs, is absolutely horrible. Magic was so much better in the good old days.

[rossoriginals]

"but the old magic leaves you more vulnerable to demonic possession"

All magic use makes you vulnerable to demonic possession when connected to the spirit nexus, you always need adequate circles of protection and to be careful with your summons, but the old magic doesn't force you to be constantly connected to the spirit nexus to use it!

And the artificers I had to go to before I could get a new orb that can use enchanted rings, unbelievable.

I've forgotten how to friend

I've forgotten how to friend

How to share and be shared with

Now I'm here, starting again

And I've got so much friend to give

But I don't know where I should put it

Don't know how, who with, or when

I've lost the skill to do it 

I've forgotten how to friend

When I was younger it was easy

I could be friends with anyone

Just a round of introductions

And then straight on with the fun

Open hearts and open minds

Sincerely social, no pretend

But now those days are all behind

As I've forgotten how to friend

Now there are rules you're meant to follow

Certain things that you can't say

Interactions feel so hollow

As you fake being ok

Don't tell them that you're lonely

Dont be desperate, don't offend

Don't let them know you need them

Or that they'd be your only friend

Be cool, be smart, be charming

But don't talk about yourself

Don't be awkward or disarming

Leave your ego on the shelf

Make sure you have some things in common

And when the conversation ends

Don't be pushy, just be calm and

Act like you DO know how to friend

You have to put in effort

It won't just happen on its own

The contradiction makes my head hurt

How do you make new friends alone?

You can't just tell them that you like them

You must meet up, get on, and then

Agree unspoken that it's mutual, and hope

THEY'VE not forgotten how to friend

I've grown so tired of the pretence 

Don't want to play this silly game

I want to make new friends and keep them

Call my purpose by it's name

And not apologize for trying

This is me, and to that end

I'm not hiding and not lying

I'm rediscovering how to friend.

I give you an onion. Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips, possessive and faithful as we are, for as long as we are.

In mine and many other east Asian cultures, the dragon traditionally symbolises things like power, wealth and strength (imperial symbol and all)

I think we often forget that in the story of the Great Race, the dragon came in fifth because it'd stopped to give people rain. Then it'd stopped again to push a rabbit adrift on a log across the wide river so it reached the shore safely (that's why the Rabbit year comes before the Dragon).

Dragons aren't meant to just be powerful - they are meant to do good with such power, and to help those in need.

So in this lunar new year, I hope you gain more power, so that you might be able to help others. I pray you have abundant resources so you may give to yourself and those around you. I wish you courage, endurance, kindness and generosity, for yourself and your people.

I hope you, and I, will be rain givers, life preservers, joy bringers.

I hope we will be dragons.

This is basically what my physical therapist had me do for my back problems last year and it helped with the pain so much! Also walk for at least thirty minutes a day, even if it's just in small chunks throughout the day.

[linipik]

Exercises for all the homies who want to have a long career drawing.

The true problem with being an artist and drawing all day (as I wanted my whole life) is that human backs are not designed to hold that position, so it is very common for artists and designers to have really stiff shoulder blades, creating a chain of muscle strain towards the arm AND the back… and a lot of pain.

These are some physical exercises for artists and honestly anyone who works at a desk.

[Transcript:

Hi, this is how I wrap presents for people with lower fine motor control; it could be older people, younger people, people with disabilities.

You can use ribbon you already have for wrapping present, and I measured around the item I am about to wrap leaving a little bit of room for the handle.

I taped the beginning end of the ribbon to the box and then loop back the extra ribbon to make a handle, and it should look something like this

You can wrap pretty much like you normally do as long as you make sure that the handle is exposed .

You could even tie something onto the handle for extra support

All done!
