Sad Pear On Mars @sadpearonmars - Tumblr Blog

someone fired a bullet through our bathroom wall the other day when we were gone, which is scary (but probably accidental), but the weirdest part is that we can’t actually find the place where it entered from outside... the wall inside is fucked up and you can see the hole where it came through, but there is no corresponding entrance hole on the exterior of the house. somehow the outer paneling was undamaged.

I think the exterior of the house is asbestos siding which apparently hides bullet holes really well.

There’s also a dent on the opposite wall where the bullet bounced off, and it looks like it had a really bizarre trajectory. Anyway, the neighbors say it was from a car chase where bullets went flying everywhere, so I’m not actually worried beyond “wow hope that doesn’t happen near me again”.

This is the most American post I have ever seen

btw if youre young and scared of doing adult things without your parents ive learned that like 90% of the time you can just tell the doctors office or the dmv "haha sorry ive never done this without help before... can you show me how to do this?" the employee will not care. if that means anything to you

literally walked up to a desk in the courthouse, said "is this where I register a car or is it the next one?" and she said it was the next one. and the lady at the next desk helped me. it feels embarrassing but I promise you can just ask

One of the most important lessons I learned in customer service is that no matter how much help you need, as long as you're nice about it, you won't even crack the top five of worst customers they've had to deal with that day. I will walk an old lady through every step on that pin pad with a smile as long as she's polite, because two calls ago I had to deal with someone screaming about politics for 45 fucking minutes because I wasn't allowed to hang up on him.

Everyone has their first time doing something, everyone makes mistakes, everyone has dumb moments, and as long as you're choosing kindness I'll just laugh it off and help out. Because no matter how dumb you think you are, there was already someone who was just as dumb but was determined to ruin my day over it.

had such a great time at comic con especially seeing the new buckaroos trotting out their debut horror novels. i wanted to highlight THREE NEW NIGHTFIRE AUTHORS with horror novels to preorder, DEENA HELM, TAYLOR GROTHE and MATHILDA ZELLER. here are their books:

OUR CUT OF SALT by DEENA HELM 'three generations of palestinian women must put the haunting of their ancestral home to rest, before the secrets of the past drown them all'

LETHAL KISS by TAYLOR GROTHE 'a blood-soaked love story of rage, revenge, and belonging, Taylor Grothe's adult debut is a sapphic horror/romance that's as grotesque as it is beautiful.'

IT LOOKS LIKE YOU IN THE DARK by MATHILDA ZELLER 'it looks like you in the dark is a propulsive indigenous horror debut, expertly blending alaskan native folklore and supernatural thrills, from the author of the acclaimed short story "kushtuka"

as i have said many times before PREORDERS MATTER BUCKAROOS. i appreciate how many times you have all supported me. if you have the means, here are some great up and comers to support as well. LOVE IS REAL

The Amnesty International report that JK Rowling is trying to censor through legal threats.

It can also be found on Google Drive here and on Bluesky here.

Please save and share this info where possible. This report has since been removed by Amnesty International due to legal threats of libel from JK Rowling. This information is no longer easily accessible.

Iceland is fucking bizarre my name change made the news

hjartasalt

Like just @ me at this point I'm literally the only person in iceland (and very possibly the world) who has the first name Lauf

(Article title reads "Lauf and Birningur in group of new names in the name register")

hjartasalt

No one lives here so now two of our biggest news outlets are vagueing about me lmao

hjartasalt

Hmm you're right. Correction: two of our biggest media outlets are talking about me specifically because they are obsessed with me

hjartasalt

This morning I showed up to work and my boss was like "congratulations :))" and I was kinda confused so asked her on what and she said "your name, I heard about it on the radio"

So far I have counted two online articles and apparently the radio is also talking about my name change so I'll keep you guys updated when I'm on national tv or something

cipheramnesia

With a little legwork we can make more people on Tumblr see this than the entire population of Iceland.

Breaking free of the loop, and the guys who made it.

DEAD TEENAGERS ends today. Go pick up Issue #5 wherever you buy comics, and -- when you're done -- read an essay about realizing that your adolescence was scripted by creeps.

My illustrations the most based poem about tigers by Nael, age 6

Every time I read it I feel space inside my chest expand in very *emotion* way.

i dont mean to victim blame but why do these vampires keep talking to daniel molloy when they know he's daniel molloy

digitaldiscipline

Daniel Malloy is Isaac Chotiner for vampires.

Tough Cookie is probably the one person whose problems were all fixed by vampirism. She never has to get married, have babies, or choose between her hearing and her drums. On top of it all she’s a nepo fledgling.

Moisturised, in her lane, thriving.
