Adopted a second cat yesterday! My resident cat is BIG MAD! I'm gradually introducing them to each other and it's gonna be a loooooong process but I'm hoping they can be buddies in the near future.

In case you were wondering just how hot it's been in the southern US lately, this was the inside of my car two days ago:

Note: I was parked in the shade

ok but legitimately i think the reason why kids aren’t taking internet safety seriously is because the people who are telling us not to put our personal information out seem so out of touch. no one acknowledges the possibility of meeting very real teenaged friends online, they always say that everyone you meet is a 40 year old white man in disguise. because they aren’t acknowledging things we know are true, it becomes a lot easier to dismiss the rest of what they’re saying as well. internet safety lessons absolutely must keep up with the times and acknowledge the internet’s capacity for good if you want kids to take to heart warnings about its capacity for bad.

Some actual safety tips for teenagers:

1. Have proof they're a teenager first. More than just a picture, have a video call with them.

2. If you want to meet up with them, have your parents or a trusted adult come with you. Even if they are a proven teenager, its still good to have supervision in case any issues happen.

3. If you are talking to an adult, and they start being sexual in any way, you run the fuck away. It doesn't matter if they're 40 or 20. An adult inherently has a power dynamic that teenagers do not. And its up to the adult to act responsible about it. There's exceptions of course, if you're 16 and dating an 18 year old, that's not a problem, we're not talking about that.

4. Being in a server with adults or ran by adults is not inherently bad. Talking to adults is not inherently a problem, and will likely happen in any number of Discord servers. It is only an issue when they are acting sexual and show predatory behavior.

5. Look out for grooming behavior. It can be difficult, because at first it seems like innocuous behavior, like complimenting or giving gifts. Especially if you feel lonely and have low self esteem. And groomers actively target people like that.

If they start trying to isolate you, talk sexual with you, state they depend on you for emotional needs, blame you for their own actions, try to be secretive about the relationship- Then you need to talk to people you trust, block the perpetrator, and call the police on them.

6. If this does happen to you, remember this: It is not your fault. Even if you didn't listen to a single thing listed here, it is not your fault. It is the fault of the adults who knew better, and didn't care. It's not your fault.

To my followers: if any of you guys are underaged, please be very VERY careful on here, and don’t fall for any of the tricks the groomer would use on you, just block them and report them.

you've heard of death of the author, now get ready for death of the audience: where instead of basing your reaction on a thousand uninformed opinions online, you actually read the text and engage with it

I desperately need to annotate my Farseer Trilogy books because I have so many thoughts while I'm reading and want to be able to go back and reference certain parts later, but I have the illustrated and Illumicrate editions that I don't want to directly write in because they're just too nice. The solution? Buy a third copy of each book, obviously!

that post that's like. fans have got too used to acting as stakeholders. media analysis is about the narrative intentions not a checklist of what fans want. i think criticism of the finale because it didn't include specific elements we wanted to see is separate (if sometimes intertwined) from whether the narrative worked overall. because as an overall arc it makes sense. from the start they wanted an earth where humans could live their lives free to make their own choices, without interference or pre-determined rules and plans and divisions into heaven and hell. crowley believed the system couldn't be fixed, aziraphale believed god could be reasoned with, and in the end they were both right and they both got what they wanted: a chance for humans and them to make choices that were true to who they were. for crowley and aziraphale that was choosing each other. it always would be

The rest of the movie went by so quickly and I'm gonna need some time to process my feelings on it but, all in all, I'm not mad at it

THEY GOT MARRIED AND GOT THEIR COTTAGE IN THE SOUTH DOWNS

I REPEAT

THEY GOT MARRIED AND GOT THEIR COTTAGE IN THE SOUTH DOWNS

SOMEBODY SEDATE ME

[shieldmaiden-tabris]

Lol Jesus and Robert Baratheon walk into a café

Aziraphale said last season that he knows Crowley loves rescuing him and buddy, that may be true, but you love rescuing him just as much, don't lie

[shieldmaiden-tabris]

Aziraphale: "We shall go and get our Bentley back-"

Crowley: "My Bentley."

Aziraphale:

[shieldmaiden-tabris]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME

CROWLEY LOST THE BENTLEY TO PREVENT THE BOOKSHOP FROM BEING SET ON FIRE *AGAIN*

AZIRAPHALE IF YOU DO NOT AT LEAST HUG YOUR DEMON, I AM GOING TO HAVE SOME VERY STRONG WORDS FOR YOU

[shieldmaiden-tabris]

"You weren't here. I wasn't going to lose this place as well."

Crowley could say the words, "I love you," and it still wouldn't convey as much as those two sentences, dear LORD

[shieldmaiden-tabris]

"You had a bookshop for centuries. You loved your bookshop. Then you just walked away."

This conversation is not about the bookshop, is it, Crowley?

It means a lot to me that a trans woman is the first person who shows Jesus kindness when he arrives on Earth. That was an intentional choice and I love it so much
