She's being so big and brave.
All the owlbears at once! You can find them on fabric at Spoonflower, or a bunch of other stuff at Redbubble!
You can see the process gifs here, and find their individual links: Sun bear, Polar bear, Asian black bear, Kodiak bear, Spectacle bear, Sloth bear, Panda bear
My one boring tip to anyone in their 20s is to resist the temptation to rot in your room every time you get a free moment. Dismiss any neuroses you have about going outside and "being perceived". Be a dictator about it, plan your hangouts like they are binding commitments. No excuses! Go to the bar with your friends. Be kinda hungover at work. Socializing is like exercise; even if you don't feel like you want to, you should still do it because it's good for you.
i am terminally A Sucker for characters who have a towering and generally earned ego about their own ability and absolutely no self-worth about themselves as a person at all. intoxicating combo.
Speaking of medieval history, it's fun how the popular accounts are all "the peasantry disliked nobles, but typically loved the King and attributed any harmful decisions to bad advisors", and then the rare examples of surviving testimony from actual peasants are like "I hope the King literally explodes".
Popular histories: Medieval peasants understood themselves as inhabiting a cosmic order in which the King was their divinely appointed superior.
Actual medieval peasant: God, please set the King and everyone who looks like him on fire, Amen.
TOBY. TOBY WHEN I GET YOU TOBY.
my thoughts during the secret boss fight
incredible innovations on the beverage front
The kid next door (talking toddler age) is playing outside and just wiped out in his Fisher Price car, and I just heard the babysitter say, “oh no, your insurance premium is definitely going to go up!” And the kid who had only been mildly sniffling before made the most confused, but startled sound you’ve ever heard.
Just very clearly an attempt at saying, “my what?”
He straight up forgot about his scraped knee and is now worried about whatever the fuck an insurance premium is.
"When people have or show any kind of sexual response, it gives sexual partners big cues about what feels good to that person. When we’re responding in a way that’s for real, that’s great, because paired with verbal communication about what feels good, it helps our partners learn what we like. Only responding in ways that are real is a big part of the difference between a good sex life and a crappy one.
When people fake orgasm or other sexual responses, it still gives partners those cues. It just gives them wrong cues. It tells partners you respond to something in a way that you don’t, like something to a degree that’s not real, and if they don’t know you’re faking, and you also don’t talk about what’s really going on, they’re going to tend to keep doing whatever brought about those responses because they, since you have effectively told them so or shown them so, think those are the right things to be doing to please you.
In order for your sex life to get better, and in order for you two to actually really get and be intimate sexually, he needs to know that the information you have been giving him has been wrong information. He needs for you to start giving him accurate information about what goes on with you sexually."

We're absolutely not keeping these in the tags @strollsroyce, this has been once of the hardest and most relieving/validating parts of unlearning the defensive posturing of trauma. Learning that my negative and positive reactions need to align with my desired outcomes in order to communicate and negotiate space for myself safely and effectively in relationships
i know we’re not exactly taking andy weir’s word as gospel or anything, but. thinking about that interview where he basically implies rocky wasn’t all that special on the blip-a. he’s a brilliant engineer, but he wasn’t first engineer. first engineer probably wouldn’t stay holed up in their workshop anyway — they’d be moving about the ship monitoring and fixing things. consulting with leadership and such. eridians are social and communal problem-solvers, so the engineering department is itself a small thrum, contributing their own sub-specialties, being extra hands when needed.
rocky’s like, third engineer. he’s quick and creative but he’s also bossy, impatient, and blunt; not really leader material! he thinks of himself as a cog in the machine and appreciates the freedom it gives him. plus he’s a bit neurotic, and flinches at the thought of having authority because that means everyone else will answer for his fuckups. noooo thank you. he’s content to be in the background and good at his job.
and then people start dying.
My uncle is really into warhammer and would win every miniature painting competition he was in. I have not very steady hands and he saw me messing up my nail polish for prom. He sat with me and carefully painted my nails and that moment meant so much to me all these years later.
Today at work a girl at my register was heatedly explaining to her mother that wearing a dinosaur costume to her school’s decades day was, in fact, perfectly acceptable because her teachers did not specify any particular decades.
the kids are alright
