Hello Frank! Which animal is your favourite animal right now, and why?

A long-haired tortoise-shell cat!

A few years ago when I was feeling down, I was watching an Animal Planet show about tortoises and thought Man, I wish I had a house full of tortoises.

But I was also thinking at the time This may not be possible and may be a very bad idea even if it is.

And then when I did think the subject through more, I realized I wanted them because I wanted a living reminder of the fact that there are things I would rather not forget. And that was my motivation and it was enough.

So if anyone's wondering, the answer is tortoises because you don't get to choose your mind, but you can choose your memories, and they can have things written in them for you for free!

And, hey, they can be beautiful!

[content note: this is a long post. a picture of a cat is at the very start of it, to reduce any potential issues of content for some of the people who are in a state of mind to read about animal death]

How??? Not gonna bully I'm genuinely in awe here. I suffer if I have to write more than three words on my phone. Do tell more, like what app you use for this creative labor.

On the other hand, he can still be serenaded by his boyfriends. And there are other ways one can express themselves musically.

TRUE which is how you turn the hurt into comfort... tg trying to get whirl into the singing lessons with him and cyclonus, theyre going to straight up start a fucking polyamorous acapella group and whirl is like, whirl, hes anxiety, doesnt want to let tg down, doesnt want to admit the problem, gets caught up in his own head, but toot toot... resolution.... he gets a maraca

Hey, just curious about a thing. Your bio says 'pro-ship begone', but on your art you've used the tag megop, which is a ship. I'm on mobile and came across the post from someone else's blog so I can't tell when you made that post. Did you ship previously and now don't want interaction from shippers? Or is it something more complicated going on?

Heyo, thanks for stoppin by.

To keep myself out of drama I want to say that pro-shippers are people who have a "ship and let ship" mentality, where anything goes. Anything.

And I'm just not comfortable with people like that interacting with my posts. I'm all for shipping so long as the pairs are of age and not relatives (adopted or biological).

I'm not about to send hate to someone online because I have better things to do, and I realize sending hate won't do anything to stop them. But pro-shippers will recieve a block.

(I am only reblogging this part because -- related to my earlier post -- Tumblr ALSO does not allow you to truncate posts from the top-down.)

Sadly, I am in the United States where everything is on fire 24/7 and nobody can seem to do anything about it.  I think in only one state is employment not considered “at will”, meaning you can be fired for anything that isn’t protected by law (Race, religion, national origin, age (over 40), sex, pregnancy, familial status, disability, veteran status and genetic information.)

Which isn’t to say that employers don’t fire people for those reasons all the time, it’s just that they have to say something like, “No no, we fired you because we don’t like your shoes,” and then the onus is on the employee to prove that they were actually discriminated against.

Depending upon the industry, it can also be extremely difficult to unionize.  Only vaguely related to this whole comment, but if you ever have a chance to watch the documentary American Factory, you really should. It’s pretty gutting and depressing.  Which... yeah, I don’t know why I’m recommending you watch it.

Fun story: Last year some time my husband’s company went to all the employees over a specific age (I can’t remember, but it was either 50 or 55) and said to them, “Hey, if you quit we’ll give you a severance of a year’s salary. But if not, then no biggie I guess, right, haha!”

Remember, this was only done to people over a specific age threshold.

Lots of people left, because: 1. A year’s salary would give them a leg up on finding a new job and 2. The writing was clearly on the wall, and how much longer after they refused were they going to get shitcanned because the company “didn’t like their shoes”.

Mind you, none of this is to contradict the advice given here.  You should absolutely fight back, and you should absolutely work with your coworkers whenever possible (although please, I beg you, make sure you’re “working” with the right people, because these sorts of working environments absolutely breed back-stabbing, and I have seen it first-hand)

But yeah.  Everything’s on fire.

I want to ask “why” but I’m afraid of what the answer would be.

If we were to count the dead adoptive father that raised her and the dead mother she never got to know then she has a total of five parents in her life. Better let her settle in more with the current batch before adding more parents.

Yup, she technically has five parents. All five count, I agree. Wade agrees too, he simply meant she has three alive ones.

And I guess up until this point, she also had a step-mother, so she had six before, four alive. Damn Ellie, how do you draw your family tree!?

And before you know it, you'll be spreading fanfics and fanart of it and infect your poor followers too. Pairings are viral like that.

I doubt I on my own can make Taskmaster x Daredevil (TaskDevil) a thing, plus my OT¨P will always have priority.

I will probably write on fic to get it out of my system.
