being friends with english majors is so fun you'll send a text like hey are you free for brunch and they'll respond with some shit like "haven't the faintest clue, my schedule is utterly fucked"
english majors so used to talking like 19th century british aristocracy they think this is a joke about busy schedules
I think it's really funny that reading the discworld witch books (at least the ones that are Weatherwax+Ogg+Magrat), Granny immediately seems like the scariest one by far. She seems like a terrifying force of nature accompanied by a jovial old grandma and an insecure young woman. But as the series progress, the times when Granny holds back and Nanny and Magrat jovially engage in brutal physical violence add up. Now I'm not saying you *shouldn't* be scared of Granny, I'm just saying that she has a rather strong conscience in her way, whereas Magrat and Nanny will both sucker punch you, kick you between the legs and happily step over your groaning body. Granny is to be feared, but Nanny doesn't fight fair and Magrat will kill a motherfucker. Terry Pratchett really knew how to write female characters.

there are corners of this website where the year is still 2013. and sometimes, on beautiful nights when the veil is thin, you can find them . if you know where to look
I'm imagining a world where RPGMaker somehow made it as the de facto codebase for software and you have to navigate your banking app by walking around in a huge room full of NPCs named "make deposit" and "make withdrawal" etc and there's loud as fuck stock music playing
hello pip ! do you have tips on what behaviors count as . "i see you as a whole human being" or "i am happy to be your coworker and i want to help!" <- things i genuinely feel but feel like ive fumbled communicating. since im a temp worker and i get put on new assignments all the time i dont rlly feel like i have time to recover... even a short list would be helpful.
god it's so hard bc especially if you're a temp you don't have the time to get to know your coworkers on an organically comfortable timeline. often you will not know them well enough as individuals to be able to tailor your communication methods in ways that will result in a higher chance of successfully overriding any assumptions they are bringing to the interaction.
rather than give you a list of behaviors to enact i would encourage you to try to internalize that your coworkers not correctly interpreting your bids doesn't mean you're doing something incorrectly. many many people are bringing a lot of past feelings and experiences to the table with stuff like coworker interactions, not least of which are patterns they have seen in their past experiences with other temp workers, which they may then be projecting onto your behavior!
so. do your best. but do not take sole responsibility for the outcome. you can only control your own behavior at the end of the day. your coworkers might take you in bad faith and there might be nothing you could do under the circumstances to change that. that's okay. it doesn't mean you did something wrong. often it simply means that the circumstances necessary for developing the level of trust necessary to be able to directly communicate concepts like "I am trying to help you" and be believed are not in place. does that make sense
Its hard honestly. I am a very genuine person who likes to help but also likes to stay busy. I often get seen as a passive aggressive try hard, even though I am not.
The way I do it is just... consistency. Which in a temp situation probably won't help a lot, but that's what it has come down to for me. I always say good morning/have a nice lunch/drive safe/see you tomorrow, etc. Just by being polite, I have befriended known sourpusses.
Another thing is, if I know someone sees me as a know it all, I make sure to ask them for help once in a while. People like to know that you value their input! Even if it's just something small, like asking them to proofread or tone check an email. You can probably do that on your own, but involving your coworkers will make them feel valued.
And when they are having a hard time, or being hard on themselves, I make sure to verbalize that I am not holding it against them. Like just telling someone "you're good, I know you have a lot going on." Or "You're new, we're just happy to have you, we don't expect you to learn everything on the first day!"
Basically, the more you participate in the social dance of "I see you", the more likely you will be taken in good faith. It's hard for people to build resentment against someone who always says good morning and brings cookies once a month!
these are all super great tips, thank u
"Peggle make phone calls" has become shorthand for "fuck it, whatever" for me but no one ever knows what im talkingabout and it's also longer (longhand?)

They introduced a roaming minotaur to my local public library which really adds a lot of fear to the whole place

"Why do you talk so much about being intersex?"
Over 90% of parents of visibly intersex children opt for cosmetic surgery on their infants.
The ones that don't experience medical violence then, likely experience it as a teenager.
I didn't.
I am very rare in that I did not experience medical violence.
Why? Because I learned what intersexuality was as a young age, and I actively fought against what doctors wanted to do to me. All the way down to legal research on what medical care minors can be forced into. I remember walking into that doctor's appointment with the state law written down that proved that if I did not consent they could not do surgery.
That is why intersex activism is important. It saved me and it will save more.

How people get nicknames:
Recipient of a third-degree burn in front of witnesses. IE, "I won't take that shit from a man dressed like a ghostbuster"= "Gostbuster" or "Buster"
A distinctive personal feature or quirk. IE, "Have you noticed how that new guy is always eating bell peppers?" = "Peppers", or "That chick has a massive forehead" = "Forehead".
An embarrassing thing you said or did. IE, "Did you seriously call Dale "Dad"?" = "Junior", "Baby boy", "Sport"
A game of name-mutation telephone. IE, "Donny Clyde" = "Bonnie 'n' Clyde" = "Bonnie" = "Bon-bon".
Irony. IE, calling a tall person "short stack" or a particularly dour person "sunshine".
A 'wrong place wrong time' one-off incident. IE, "He spilled oil on his pants and had to borrow a pair that were way too big and Jim saw him with the waistband pulled up to his nipples and called him 'Parachute'"
A batman-style origin story but not in a cool way: "One time she hit a deer with the company car and when she called the boss to tell her she was crying so hard we thought she was dying" = "Bambi"
The incredibly rare 'admiration' nickname, bourne only once a millennia under the light of the blood moon: "We saw him lift a truck once so now we call him 'iron man'"
+ How Nicknames Stick:
Your fate is determined by The Counsel
You hate it
It's accurate
This reminds me of an article about how callsigns in movies are inaccurate because they're too cool. Generally your callsign in the military is like "Bepis" because you once pronounced "Pepsi" wrong.

How do you flip the quality/quantity switch like ok I love that I squeezed my brain for an hour and wrote one admittedly pretty good sentence but can I just fucking get a draft down so I can fix it later
To be fair to myself I also moved one paragraph above another paragraph and I think putting them in this order has a certain verve
We're gonna die here
women’s bodies weren’t “made” to do anything, nature didn’t “intend” anything, no human action is “unnatural” and there is no inherent “purpose” to a human life
people weren’t designed to do anything because they weren’t designed at all. Hope this helps 🤩
my general opinion on what people should be "allowed" to portray and what topics they should be "allowed" to explore in fiction is that you can make whatever art with whatever themes you want but i'm also allowed to think the way you handled it was tasteless and should've been done differently. my negative opinion on your handling of sensitive topics is the price of admission for publicly showcasing your work. this is not a pro-censorship stance because i am not The Government
this is getting really popular so i’d like to add the important caveat that your criticism of a work is no more unassailable than the work itself. just as one is entitled to be critical of something someone else is entitled to disagree with that criticism. i add this because some of you pretend to give a fuck about thoughtful analysis and then when someone points out flaws in your argument you declare that all criticisms are valid. this is untrue. the status of a hater is no more sacred than that of a liker. get off your high horse and engage in the thoughtful discussion you pretend to believe in or perish by my blade
