Hopping on board the pandemic design train with an idea I had for a patch:

Plus its very relevant variants:

And their clean variants for those not wanting swear words:

Design notes: designed for 14 count Aida and for the patch dimensions to be about 4 in x 4-5 in.

Free to make or to modify for personal use. Tag me if you make it, I’d love to see it!

Bernie didn’t need a pandemic to understand...

Bernie didn’t need a pandemic to understand that healthcare was a human right and that we are only as healthy as the sickest among us. The republicans screamed “socialism!” and the democrats cried “how will we pay for it?” Now they are both begging for free tests and healthcare that isn’t tied to their jobs.

Bernie didn’t need a pandemic to understand that every child in America deserves high quality child care and universal school meals. The republicans screamed “socialism!” and the democrats cried “how will we pay for it?” Now they are both begging for child care and food for their kids because the schools are closed.

Bernie didn’t need a pandemic to understand that we should cancel all student debt to help millions of struggling Americans. The republicans screamed “socialism!” and the democrats cried “how will we pay for it?” Now they are both begging for student debt relief because they can’t pay their bills.

Bernie didn’t need a pandemic to understand that housing is a human right and the American people need universal rent control so that the landlords can’t continue to bleed them dry or evict them into homelessness. The republicans screamed “socialism!” and the democrats cried “how will we pay for it?” Now they are both begging for landlords to not evict during this pandemic and begging for housing decommodification.

Bernie didn’t need a pandemic to understand that the minimum wage should be a living wage and that it should be at least 15 dollars an hour. The republicans screamed “socialism!” and the democrats cried “how will we pay for it?” Now they are both begging for those same people who they labeled “unskilled” to be classified as “essential” and they are expecting grocery store workers, food service workers, child care workers, cleaners and other minimum wage jobs to be the literal front line against this pandemic.

Without these “unskilled workers” providing their essential services, we could not survive. Bernie didn’t need a pandemic to understand that. Bernie has been fighting for basic human rights his entire life.

Fantasy things that I can never get enough of

Airships that literally are just flying ships

Underground dwarven halls

Cave systems that have their own source of lighting, like glowing mushrooms, moss or water

Elvish settlements that are build on, in and around trees

Dragon hoards in abandoned dwarven halls

Abandoned castles, preferably recently abandoned

Villages build in cliff sides

Floating islands

Towers standing mysteriously and/or ominously in the landscape

Ridicilously huge libraries that may or may not defy the laws of physics

I hope everyone is safe and healthy! It’s been a bit disappointing seeing how many people are still going out and partying! Thankfully most people I’ve seen online are trying there best to be as responsible as possible in these unfortunate circumstances! Sending you all lots of love and best wishes!

How to Argue Like an Asshole

Good evening, friends, let me tell you some Secrets on how to argue like (and with) assholes. I’m writing this because I keep running into a particular asshole, and I need to stop engaging with them, and so this is an instruction sheet for myself as well as you guys. 

First, try to avoid assholes; they don’t deserve your time and energy. But, if an Argument is unavoidable, here are a few tips on how to emerge unscathed. 

Let go of the idea that you’re going to win. 

You’re not gonna win. Nobody wins in an argument with an asshole. But, on the other hand, you can make them lose. You can deprive them of their entertainment and their triumph. 

How??? 

Do not present your side of this debate. 

This is so counter-intuitive for most of us who believe in things like, oh, science, or real facts, or the idea that real facts can be determined by science. Here’s a cool terrible thing about humans: certainty has nothing to do with facts. And when people are certain, that is when they become assholes. 

When someone’s only goal is to win an argument, any real evidence or facts you give them is just ammunition for them to turn against you. 

You will not convince them. So what should you be doing? 

Destroy their arguments.

This is a thing of joy, because it’s what assholes are used to doing. They are, at heart, morons who don’t know how to construct, only how to destroy. 

I used to be super emotional about arguments like this. I couldn’t think of anything to say while the other person ranted on about their horrifying bigotry. Now I’m a lawyer, and I’ve learned to weaponize my essentially nitpicky nature. For money. 

So here are some easy tactics you can remember and deploy: 

- Make them define the words they use. Nitpick the definitions. 

- Turn questions back on them. If they ask you “why do you believe x”, ask them why they believe y. If they pull some “I asked first” shit, ask them why they’re afraid to defend their beliefs. 

- Call them emotional.  If possible, pick out specific emotions. This is especially devastating when you’re debating a man, as he will get more emotional as a result. 

- “Why is that funny? I don’t get it.” Making people explain mean jokes can be a delight; they just wilt the more you question them about the underlying assumptions. 

- Laugh at any especially dumb shit. Like they use some slogan or catchphrase that’s obviously untrue, due to science, or essentially ridiculous, like “we’ve made America great again,” and you just blurt out laughing. If they get mad, tell them – oh, so sorry, I’ll shut up, I’m giving you the floor to talk about your beliefs. I’m respecting you. This is a goddamn power move. It gives you the high ground, and also the implied control over the situation. The floor belongs to you, but you are yielding it to someone because you can. 

- If they make an awkward exit, let them. Especially if they call the discussion “political.” It means they’re feeling attacked. Graciously allow them to retreat with their tail between their legs. If they storm off, allow them to do that too. Congratulations; you’ve ended the argument and you don’t have to deal with it anymore. 

Basically: hand the asshole a shovel, and let ‘em dig. Relieve yourself of the burden to convince them they are wrong, and just sour their fun instead. 

–

Additionally, these are the tactics that assholes use, consciously or subconsciously, all the time. Recognize them. Once you know what they are, you can become immune to the intimidation and belittling tactics. 

Good luck.

“You ruin your life by desensitizing yourself. We are all afraid to say too much, to feel too deeply, to let people know what they mean to us. Caring is not synonymous with crazy. Expressing to someone how special they are to you will make you vulnerable. There is no denying that. However, that is nothing to be ashamed of. There is something breathtakingly beautiful in the moments of smaller magic that occur when you strip down and are honest with those who are important to you. Let that girl know that she inspires you. Tell your mother you love her in front of your friends. Express, express, express. Open yourself up, do not harden yourself to the world, and be bold in who, and how you love. There is courage in that.”
