I’m Still Here

My train just got stuck sitting at a random station for ~4 hours and I got so cold from them blasting the AC that I seriously considered doordashing myself a sweatshirt from the nearest Michaels, after which I would’ve definitely used my Cricut to print this design on it once I get home:

So anyway @ Amtrak this is my official plea for you to sell sweatshirts on your trains and also please hire me as your official merch designer

“knowing how to write effective AI prompts will be a valuable skill in the future” and what if I skip all that and write the email myself in under 30 seconds drawing from my very own biological database of language and rhetoric (my brain)?

[taykoutmccleod]

if you can draft an "effective AI prompt," good news! you can write the damn thing yourself! and you should! it'll make the next thing even easier to do, plus there's the added bonus of not using AI!

I was gonna make Emmy draw this but she said no so I drew it myself.

I’ve never drawn a comic before!

it’s so cool and fun when I reach the point of not being able to sleep where my options are

• drift off for approximately 90 minutes, have an extremely vivid and weird dream until my alarm goes off, and then have a hard time waking up and be kind of a bitch all day

or

• power through the all-nighter and be kind of a bitch all day

I identify the most with the woman who has a green velvet ribbon around her neck and keeps being like "DONT untie my neck ribbon or something really bad will happen" and then her husband unties the ribbon and her head falls off. this is extremely real to me. spent my whole life like "please don't do this thing to me or really bad stuff will happen" and everyone around me being like "that sounds fake" and doing it anyway. and then my head fell off!

Charlie is the least cuddly cat in the universe. He will never curl up on your lap. He’ll occasionally let you sit next to him on opposite ends of the couch. Once in a blue moon, he’ll tolerate being picked up for a few seconds. But whenever I’m lying on my bed, he slinks into my room and starts meowing at me, increasing in loudness and with more urgency, until I finally lower my hand over the side of the mattress for him to rub his head against. And then when he’s done with that, he meows again, a different-sounding meow that I’ve come to learn means “make room for me, I’m coming up”. So I scoot over from the edge, and without fail he jumps up, loudly purring as he headbutts me again, and then he starts kneading my blankets with his paws. And I just think that’s so beautiful

Apparently today is Loving Day, named after Richard and Milford Loving, the interracial couple whose lawsuit against the state of Virginia resulted in interracial marriage becoming legal in the United States. And so this day was made as a holiday for interracial relationships. I think that's very cool and deserves a tumblr post. Happy Loving Day to everyone in interracial relationships!

[huffylemon]

why yes I have seen tinks

[pyreflydust]

You... brought her home, right? Called her owners? Did something to get her generally in the direction of the people who certainly must miss their daughter dearly?

[st4lker]

no they just took a picture for tumblr and then threw the cat down a sewer drain

[rickybabyboy]

yay!

I've always rolled my eyes and been like "duh" whenever a commercial for medication warns not to take the medicine if you're allergic to it. But then I remember that there are people who use tapeworms to lose weight and I'm like, "fair point."

So this seems dumb…and it is…but it’s dumb with a purpose. I can almost guarantee you the exact line of reasoning that gets NASA engineers to 100.

Ok, first of all assume the worst and assume she needs the max amount of tampons possible for all days. Now lets count it up.

7 days? Better be safe and make it 10.

3 tampons a day at worst? Better be safe and make it 5.

So that gives us 50 tampons. Ok. Double it.

And that’s how you get 100.

It’s ridiculous, but NASA has a culture of “overengineer absolutely everything to do with human safety, and then design around it” which is actually pretty cool.

[signoraviolettavalery]

Listen, I know this gets made fun of so much, but like I am a woman who has periods and I have absolutely no idea how many tampons a woman requires in a week. I use primarily pads. But these men, at the least, ASKED her instead of making unfounded assumptions.

Also have you ever packed for a long trip and thought “I’m only going for seven days but I need to pack 15 pairs of underwear….just in case”. Imagine that but you’re going to SPACE
