[wishyroses]

Back in my day we called it nightblogging and we blamed the Australians

[amygdalae]

It's funny having a very high tolerance for pain but a very low tolerance for other forms of discomfort. Like yea tattoos piercings cramps shots cuts bruises whatever thats nothing. But I better not get nauseous or hear a loud sound. Or I'll die

[ndiecity-deactivated20241101]

alright I reflected on the self. I'm 100% sure the beasts are the issue here

[runby2]

Hell yeah bro. 🤝Time for top surgery

[runby2]

sorry homie. I see now you said beasts. Like, The animal . Not breasts. The word for boobs. Did not mean to threaten you.

[ndiecity-deactivated20241101]

this is so fucking funny

[orphic-mysteries]

If it keeps you from killing yourself it's not stupid. This applies to anything btw.

Bestie. How dare you leave “do not mock the life preserver…” in the tags.

For those who don't understand, EBT are food stamps (government money for buying food for low-income people). Because the money is from the government, it comes with horrific restrictions, one of which is you cannot buy "prepared" food with it. You can only buy raw chicken, not cooked chicken, for example.

This kitchen is getting around that stupid rule by selling you raw, unprepared chicken, and then charging your EBT account for raw, unprepared chicken.

Then as a side thing, totally unrelated, they cook the chicken for free. Since you bought raw chicken with the EBT, it's legal. There's no law against cooking people's raw chicken for free for them. That's just charity.

This kitchen is a blessing to anyone who doesn't have a kitchen of their own.

Entomology makes me think of Ents.

Etymology makes me think of Edamame.

That is how I remember the different between their definitions.

No, I will not be elaborating.

i know i’m cute but you can remind me

[lifemod17]

Reblog to remind the person you reblogged this from that they are cute

[ask-whitepearl-and-steven]

Tumblr introduced me to Steven Universe, and after watching it, I introduced it to my husband. After watching it together we introduced it to both the kids. We’ve watched it as a family at least 3 times. We’ve helped them work through panic attacks and anxiety with various songs from the show.

Yesterday I finally started rereading this comic. I started following you at your main blog when you were still writing season one, but serialized media has always been a challenge, and I just … kept forgetting to click through when you mentioned updates. But I did it yesterday and, somewhere in season 3, realized I had a new thing to introduce the family to.

So that’s what we’ve been doing for the past two days. We’re reading it aloud together. The husband and I take turns, pausing for laughter and my eldest’s theories. (My voice is suffering.)

Thank you. It’s good to have something to share, and children’s laughter is really nice to hear.

t...thank you so much for reading, and for telling me about this. This is just about the highest tier of complement I could ever receive

reblog to tell a 14 year old that these are the very, very hard years and they're not wrong to feel the way they do.

[bloodraven55]

that some people respond to any well-foreshadowed reveal with “ugh that plot twist was so predictable” proves bad faith criticism has rotted their brains to the point they think it’s bad writing if they can correctly identify information the writers were intentionally giving them

[bloodraven55]

like you do realise that the entire point of set up and pay off is that you’re supposed to pick up on the clues the writers give you right? you do understand that plot twists only work when they retroactively make sense bc there were hints building up to the reveal right??

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Some people engage with stories as if it's a competition where their job is to demonstrate that they're the smartest person in the room. These people aren't worth listening to about media.

[engulfes]

Literally what did olivia laing say about loneliness leading to more loneliness. Loneliness being so repulsive that people sense it from you and stay away. Crazy crazy

“What is it that the child has to teach?

The child naively believes that everything should be fair and everyone should be honest, that only good should prevail, that everybody should have what they want and there should be no pain or sadness. The child believes the world should be perfect and is outraged to discover it is not.

And the child is right.”

— Rabbi Tzvi Freeman

[spaceraptor]

“Westerners are fond of the saying ‘Life isn’t fair.’ Then, they end in snide triumphant: ‘So get used to it!’ What a cruel, sadistic notion to revel in! What a terrible, patriarchal response to a child’s budding sense of ethics. Announce to an Iroquois, ‘Life isn’t fair,’ and her response will be: ‘Then make it fair!’” –Barbara Alice Mann

[eternaldisciple]

I remember my brother told me one time a teacher told him “Life isn’t fair.” and he said “But you could be.” and I think about that a lot.

[captainoftheargonauts]

A piece of writing advice I've always fucking hated is "only add things that further the plot." Because no. Add stuff for fun. Give your mom a cameo. Have these characters be in love because. And yes, have characters die because. There doesn't have to be a reason for everything. The universe doesn't give a reason for everything. Why should you? And if you never add stuff for fun, you're never going to have fun.

[android-and-ale]

Let your fiction have the filler episodes it deserves. You'll be surprised how often those end up readers favorite scenes.
