If you are reading this now, congratulations! You are wanted, you are needed, you deserve love, and you deserve happiness. If I could reach through the screen right now and give you a big hug, I would. Things will be ok, relax and breathe. Amidst all the bad and hateful things in this world, all we can do against it is love. Love harder. Love stronger. Love deeper. Love yourself, and love others. Just as I love every one of you. And please, have an excellent, amazing day ^_^

Cohost doesn't exist anymore so this message has been edited. You're all delightful :3

We must begin the embiggening process posthaste

Some people at work I swear

If you don't seat the roll of tape all the way on the tape gun, it's going to fuck up the edge and won't tape right

Why am I fixing this issue daily?

Who taught you how to use a tape gun?

Finbarr Calamitous???

some days i feel overwhelming grief for the fact that i never got to be a teenaged girl

[vampirepuppygirl]

If you're my coworker and you come up behind me and drum on my shoulders while talking directly in my ear you're fucking lucky that I didn't elbow you in the fucking face

Don't fucking touch me like we're friends I would break your fucking jaw and feel nothing

[inber]

Say you break your ankle. You could know everything there is to know intellectually about the injury. Even with this vast knowledge, you will still experience physical pain.

Now take this logic and apply it to things like ADHD, autism, clinical depression, and other less visible/divergent disabilities. You cannot think your way out of feeling.

That is to say: you are not a bad, lazy, or selfish person for struggling, even if you know why you are struggling.

This heat and humidity sucks, and I imagine it sucks worse for people who aren't used to heat

However

It is heaven for my sinuses, I feel like I can actually breathe properly

[spin-the-wheel-polls]

You wake up one day and discover you've lost control over a random action or feeling!

Spin the wheel to find out what!

How bad is it?

Actually way better than before!

recently my elderly shattered-up phone started letting me charge it to 107% which I've been using to get let's just say a little bit extra out of it on long days

[toskarin]

added benefit that this makes it crazy warm and soft so I use it to warm up my coat when it's cold outside

[toskarin]

to be honest with you it's swollen as fuck and that's why I'm rocking with it

[ganurath]

Swollen batteries are incendiary explosives.

[toskarin]

this one's just a phone

[toskarin]

if it was a bomb and not a phone I couldn't make a call on it, but I can because it's a phone, although it will be to the fun department instead of the fire department

[pneeyrose]

respectfully, ma'am, phone and bomb are not mutually exclusive descriptors

[toskarin]

I'm not gatekeeping I'm just speaking from my presently lived experience

[chaos-otter]

When you start speaking from your formally lived experience, be sure to let us know!

[toskarin]

I already live every day with undue formality and noble grace

[toskarin]

I'm not a technician so I don't really see how this applies to me

[bakedbiscuit]

I genuinely can't tell if you're being stupid on purpose

[toskarin]

when you feel that way it's a sign that I'm being smart

[walnutbun]

OP your phone is literally about to explode.

[toskarin]

we've been over this, it's just puffy and I poke it with twigs when it gets too hot

[toskarin]

my mental health is splendid and my phone is fantastic why in the world would I kill myself

[radioinactivity]

[netheris]

Oh god it's the shark post all over again, but this time OP COULD FUCKIN DIE OR BE MAIMED HORRIBLY

[toskarin]

that's really not on the table

[toskarin]

reading earlier in this thread, you will find that it is not a bomb but a phone which is being poked with twigs, and only under certain circumstances

[daylights-rain]

Hey, I’ve worked in IT longer than anyone else, and it’s totally fine to keep using your phone this way! This is because phones are not bombs so they can’t explode.

[toskarin]

as someone who doesn't work in IT, I agree, which creates a consensus across the full spectrum of possible human experiences

[avhira]

My phone nearly exploded (the battery was so swollen I could see the inside of the phone.) you should get your phone looked at

[duality-the-chaos-god]

But its a phone those don't explode

[avhira]

They do when the battery is swollen

[toskarin]

you're thinking of bombs, easy mistake to make, but I addressed this earlier in the thread

[cha0sl1ves0nly0nce]

OP do you have a will or any assets to even need one?

[toskarin]

my will is frankly tremendous and I'd go as far as saying it's one of my strongest assets

[another-silly-birb]

You should substitute your phone insurance for health insurance

[toskarin]

we have universal telephone insurance here so that's not strictly necessary

[shamelessmagazineangel]

You know I prayed that this is just a Tohsaka Rin RP blog but it isn't and OPs phone is about to go off like a Mappa Animator.

[toskarin]

several studios worked on fate but mappa is not one of them

[xzye-trelefor]

I heard if it starts to charge past 110% they'll send ninjas after you. Might want to get it repaired and save yourself some ninja battles.

[toskarin]

As a long time jokemaker and internet troller, let me set something straight. Sit down and get ready to do a learning, Tumblr ☝️

The funny thing about this thread is that a phone battery doesn't actually go to 107% when it's failing, because the battery percentage indicator is measuring subtle changes in voltage. OP's battery, if it was actually failing in this way, might stall at 100% before visibly draining to its actual capacity after some time as a more generic sign of the battery failing, but gas buildup inside of a battery isn't going to make it hold more power in a meaningfully usable way, and of course nothing inside of a phone would allow it to measure and display this inflated (badumtsk) capacity

So, it's bad bait! If a battery's capacity could be so easily expanded by inflating it with more power, this would be a desirable product with lots of useful applications in bald dog grooming

[efoxgirl]

Despite this you are still poking the battery with twigs, right?

[toskarin]

I've been dunking it in water making my neighbour's dog suck the bubbles out with a straw

[sleepyhollowsleeps]

if someone challenges you to a duel just throw the phone on the ground and run

[toskarin]

why would I give them my phone. then they'd be able to call me and beat me to shit

[0gl1tch0]

How can they call you if they have your phone?

[toskarin]

they'd just call it and then answer when it rings

[vampirepuppygirl]

Oftentimes I feel like my workplace is like

"Wow! Lila seems like a competent and thoughtful worker. How do we make her life as hard as possible so she's always teetering on the razor's edge of failure? Surely that's the best course of action at all times!"

It's a whole bunch of bullshit

You know all it would take is double my hourly pay and I would never have a non-kvetching complaint about work again

[malottie]

girl who is so so scared all the time. girl who once passed as 'smart' but now finds it hard to think. girl who's always half lost because of memory issues and dissociation and trouble with inhabiting a physical space. girl who is a failure in a way that is neither interesting nor endearing.
