Hancock from Final Fantasy XIV is great. You're going to not-Japan and need a place to stay, this scheming merchant who's been a pain in your ass the whole game says he can set you up at his trading company's embassy and to meet the company's ambassador there. You're thinking "oh great if he works for this guy he's definitely going to betray us"

And then you get to not-Nagasaki and he looks like this:

He's just some white guy. His name is fucking Hancock Fitzgerald. He's a weaboo. He inserts Japanese words into his English sentences. This man is living the Ken-sama dream, he's gotten the life that every middle school anime fan wants to live. And he's genuinely friendly and helpful to boot.

And every couple of years, long after you've forgotten he exists, he keeps showing up in random sidequests. I love you Hancock, you're my friend.

Saw this when I was in London this summer, I stopped my friend to point at it and said "holy shit it's the statue of Theseus fucking the Minotaur" in the middle of the very busy museum.

I cannot TAKE IT anymore!!!

"Would you like your AI assistant to summarize this document for you? It's soooo long, don't you want it shorter? Oh, no, don't worry about all the work that someone put in to writing it, no! Tone? Nuance? No, no, you don't need that! Let's just summarize it. Oh, grading student work? That looks awful long, why don't I summarize it for you? I know you asked your students to put in the effort, but you don't have to! You're a teacher, you're soooo busy, just look at and grade the summary! Who cares if they made grammatical errors? I'll fix that when I summarize it for you!"

SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!! SHUT THE FUCK UP. I HATE AI. I DON'T WANT YOU TO SHORTEN HUMAN WRITING FOR ME. I DIDN'T ASK YOU TO BE INSTALLED WITH FIREFOX OR ACROBAT OR CANVAS OR WHATEVER THE FUCK ELSE!!!!!!

Have you ever seen a nightjar before? They got these tiny lil' faces with big ol' eyes BUT WHEN THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTHS it's like :<>

hmmmmmm

mmmmMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

nightjars are actually pretty interesting ! theyre mostly nocturnal and theyve got a bunch of stiff bristles around their beaks that can trap whatever gets close enough to that huge gaping beak maw while they fly, like whisker nets

some of the males ALSO have really ridiculous plumage like the pennant winged nightjar

the lyre tailed nightjar

and the standard winged nightjar, which just has these little floofy bits sticking out. just stickin right out. alright buddy

thinking about my optometrist who was treating my eye infection and said “if it hurts, you can rinse your eye with boiled water. look at me - look at me. i want you to understand that i mean water that has been boiled and has since cooled down. not boiling water. do you understand?” like i’m so grateful for this man ensuring that I wouldn’t destroy my eyes by pouring boiling water in it, because it is an adequate assessment of my intelligence

I thought the other Haillenartes should join Laniaitte in seeing the Driancoin rose once again 🌹

so quite a lot of people expressed interest in a guide to lion dance! and since the lunar new year is coming up in a couple weeks, which means everyone’s exposure to lions is probably going to increase, i figured i’d go ahead and make it! right click + open in new tab to fullview, etc etc, i hope it’s helpful, although if you only take one thing away from this powerpoint, it’s this: lions are not dragons

disclaimer: i learned fut san style at an american university, and the senior members of the troupe were almost all from hong kong and taiwan, so most of my knowledge is drawn from what they taught me. lion dance varies widely depending on the style and the country of origin, and many schools do things differently! this is just an attempt to establish a baseline and give you a really basic intro to one of my favorite art forms. :)

Cole is an inside cat, and that means he takes it EXCEEDINGLY personally whenever he finds somewhere in the house that he's not allowed to go. he also Yearns for the washing machine.
