âWitches think in circles and spirals whenever possible, rather than straight lines. For instance, we see time as both circular and a spiral, rather than as linear. The Wheel of the Year is a circle because it keeps turning, coming back to the same point each year, and yet it's also a spiral, because we are not the same people we were last year, and the world is not the same place. Autumn is always autumn, yet no two autumns are the same.â
From How to Become a Witch, by Amber K. Not true for all of us, but true for me.

âeat the frog' method
Hi all, itâs werelivingarts. I just stumbled across this method called âeat the frogâ, which means you get the most difficult or important task out of your way first. I actually have been using this method for a long time, hope this post gives you a new way of managing your time and productivity! đ â€ïž
âIf itâs your job to eat a frog, itâs best to do it first thing in the morning. And if itâs your job to eat two frogs, itâs best to eat the biggest one first.â â Mark TwainÂ
â[I]t is actually more expensive to be poor than not poor. If you canât afford the first monthâs rent and security deposit you need in order to rent an apartment, you may get stuck in an overpriced residential motel. If you donât have a kitchen or even a refrigerator and microwave, you will find yourself falling back on convenience store food, which â in addition to its nutritional deficits â is also alarmingly overpriced. If you need a loan, as most poor people eventually do, you will end up paying an interest rate many times more than what a more affluent borrower would be charged. To be poor â especially with children to support and care for â is a perpetual high-wire act.â
â It Is Expensive to Be Poor | The Atlantic
âPoverty charges interest â holy hell. Ive never read$heard someone put it that way before. But its so friggen true.

Sorry, I could never be a capitalist, I suffer from âwanting humans to have their basic needs metâ disorder, where I care about people who arenât me.
Someone once asked me if, assuming we got universal healthcare, I would be okay with the rise in âhealthcare tourismâ where people who are sick come to our country to get their medical bills taken care of and life-saving medical treatment cheaper than in their home countries. I was just like, yeah thats fine, Iâd actually prefer it if 0 people died from preventable causes kept behind a paywall for no reason.
âeven the addicts?â yeah dude did i fucking stutter
i like the sistine chapel ceiling a lot better now that i know it was painted by a gay man who was motivated entirely by spite
Wait⊠whaaaaaaaaat? Where can I find the story behind this?!
Lol, hereâs how my art teacher explained it:
The pope went to an artist, saying âWe want you to paint the Sistine Chapelâ.Â
At the time, one did not simply say âNoâ to the fucking Pope. But this artist really didnât fucking want to do it. So, clever little cookie goes âDude Iâd love to, but Iâm unworthy of such an honor! You know whoâs an even better painter? Fucking Michelangelo! Go check him out!âÂ
So, the Pope trots his little ass over to see Michelangelo and straight up tells him âI want you to paint the Sistine Chapel, and whatâs his face said youâre the fucking best in the whole wide world.â
Now, Michelangelo, is one of the few people who would genuinely have been sassy enough to tell the Pope to go fuck himself. Besides, his true passion lies in sculpture, not in painting. Donât get me wrong, heâs good at it, but he likes sculpting more. And just like the clever cookie artist, he knows that painting the Sistine Chapel is going to be a bitch. But he said yes. Why, you ask?
Pride.
If he turned the pope down, it would be as good as saying he actually wasnât the bestest in the whole wide world and like fuck he was going to let that stand! So, he spent the next several years painting the Sistine Chapel, bitching about it to anyone who would listen (seriously, the letters that he wrote are fucking gold!), and attaining new levels of pettiness never before seen!Â
There are cherubs doing hand signs that were (at the time) the equivalent of flipping the bird. He painted a great big picture of the gates of hell right behind where the Popeâs chair would sit! And so much more!
Michelangelo had exactly zero shits to give by the time he was done painting that fucker.
someone post the letters & cherubs
Those are the cherubs, and in the second picture there are the gates of hell.
The guy on the right, the one with the snake biting his private parts, is actually a cardinal that was angry at Michelangelo!
And, just so you know, all the people in the picture were painted naked. Then, after Michelangeloâs death, the pope listened to the cardinal and he asked to a painter to add the clothes.
ALSO; The skin of Saint Bartholemew has Michealangeloâs face on it because he felt as though he was being skinned alive because painting the chapel was such a BITCH
this man was every level of gay pettiness oh my goodness
SOME MORE STUFF:
so 3 of the 4 ninja turtle artists were all connected in this drama in some way, michelangelo, leonardo da vinci, and raphael
the asshat who sent the pope to him for the ceiling job? fucking bramante, the artist of st. peterâs basilica. his apprentice was raphael, and bramante thought that michelangelo would fail the painting and then raphael could sweep in and save the day because guess what? raphael was talented as FUCK and if he was able to do a better job than THE michelangelo? he would have a path straight to being Rich and Famous and michelangelo wouldâve been humiliated and never taken seriously again
all of the ninja turtles were gay as fuck, and this is relevant bc raphael was painting the popeâs meeting room/study at the same time as michelangelo was painting the ceiling of the chapel, and one day lil raphael thought âhey iâll go see whatâs going on with mikey and see how bad heâs doingâ but SIKE BITCH, michelangelo was doing a fucking FANTASTIC job so raphael went back to the study that he was painting and added michelangeloâs face in it despite the painting being of the philosophers of old. raphael was a petty gay bitch but he knew talent when he saw it and michelangelo had talent and gained raphaelâs respect
michelangelo was also a petty gay bitch and he painted tons of people naked which was Bad and Inappropriate but he refused to cover them up so the pope then got a bunch of other dudes to paint robes and towels and shit covering up the genitals which is why there are so many people with half-assed cloth over their crotches (see: the dude holding the skin of st. Bartholomew)
the painting raphael did? itâs not anything little, itâs this fucking masterpiece we all know and love
it was no small thing that raphael did, and he is clearly a fucking amazing artist
bramante, the original dude, hated michelangelo because michelangelo knew leonardo da vinci and they both called each other out all the fucking time and bramante was a friend of leonardoâs and didnât like this so yeah heâs also a petty gay bitch
michelangelo never knew this was all a setup for him to fail, but he didnât fail so good for him
random: michelangelo spent so long painting the ceiling in such an awkward position with his head bent back and to the side to look up that he was permanently disabled in a hunched position. the sistine chapel job did a bad number on his neck and back
so yeah, 1500s drama is fucking hilarious, hereâs a small article on this but ignore the last paragraph about raphael going back to his own work and âscraping it off the wallâ, the work theyâre referring to is the one shown above and all he did to it was add in michelangelo because heâs a gay bitch in love he respected the hell out of michelangelo and admitted that he was doing a fucking awesome job with the sistine chapel
hope you enjoyed this bunch of random knowledge that i do not know how i came across knowing but i do
This just in: all the artists of the Renaissance (including the writers) are just petty gay bitches.
you donât know what petty means until youâre a gay artist forced to accept major commissions from the roman catholic churchÂ
The church: so what are you going to paint?
Michelangelo: cocks. Just. So many cocks. On everything.
The church:âŠ.
Michelangelo (still trying to get out of it): cocks or no deal
BUT WAIT THEREâS MORE
Michalengelo did turn the pope down!
So, at the time that the Sistine Chapel Drama was taking place, my boy had been commissioned to build reigning Pope Juliusâ tomb, which he was more than happy to do because you just didnât say no to The Warrior Pope (not even kidding, that was his moniker). Michelangelo, being Extra and Fancy, decided to make the tomb out of the purest white marble you could get at the time, and had ONE HUNDRED TONS quarried and delivered to the Piazza San Pietro over an 8 months long period.
Julius had shown a great interest in the project because, obvs, it was going to be his final resting place. However, because of Michelangeloâs expensive taste, the pope put the project on hold, which left the artist with freight charges of 140 ducats. When Michelangelo attempted to confront Julius about the sum during a dinner, he was told to come back to the Vatican a few days later to discuss it, which he did. In fact, he showed up *every day* that week, only to be turned out on Friday morning. Understandably offended, Michelangelo told the groom who turned him away âYou may tell the pope that from now on, if he wants me, he can look for me elsewhereâ before returning to his workshop and ordering his servants to sell all of its contents. On April 17th, he left Rome with the intention of never returning.
He was legit CHASED by some of Pope Juliusâ men, but once he crossed into Florentine territory, where the Pope had no jurisdiction, he slowed down because he believed himself to be safe. He was however ambushed by the horsemen and he immediately refused to return to Rome with them. They insisted, giving him an official summons, which Michelangelo also refused, but he *did* write a response to the pope, âa defiant letter informing Julius that he did not intend ever to return to Rome; that in exchange for his faithful service he had not deserved such maltreatment; and that since the pope did not wish to proceed with the tomb, he considered his obligations to His Holiness at an endâ.
Michelangelo was *convinced* that the reason the pope lost interest in the tomb was because of Bramante, and that a dark plot in which Bramante âwas seeking to thwart his ambitions and destroy his reputationâ was afoot (and he wasnât wrong lmao)
Bramanteâs reasoning to suggest Michelangelo for the Sistine ceiling was to legit sabotage him, because at that point in his career, Michelangelo hadnât worked with paints, heâd only really worked in sculpture. Bramante was counting on Michelangeloâs known pride and arrogance, and he was hoping Michelangelo would accept and end up embarrassing himself.
Michelangelo refused the commission, at first, for 3 reasons:
1. The commission was a suggestion from Bramante, aka his sworn enemy
2. Heâd told the pope he wouldnât ever return to Rome
3. Ceilings were typically reserved for apprentices! The walls were traditionally left for experienced artists, as they were of course more visible and they had to look particularly nice, but ceilings were at a higher distance and therefore it wasnât *as* important for them to be flawless. Michelangelo, who was a well-established artist, was Offended and Insulted to be offered the ceiling.
TL;DR The Sistine Chapel created a whole lot of drama, and Michelangelo legit turned down the pope because he was both paranoid and offended

So, I hate history lessons, unless itâs from tumblr.
I will never not share this when I come across it.
âdream jobâ bitch i donât have one i donât dream about being employed i dream about living in a cottage making soap and painting titties. capitalism is a nightmare
Etsy is somehow being even worse, do not click etsy ads
Etsy is now forcing shop owners to be part of their ads. We can not opt out.
To anyone who buys from etsy: DO NOT EVER CLICK THEIR ADS
They are rolling out a program where if you get a sale from an ad they put out, theyâre taking 12-15% of the profit(probably on top of the like, 5%ish+ they already take). Even worse, if you have clicked an Etsy ad in the last 30 days ANYONE YOU BUY FROM ON ETSY IN THAT PERIOD WILL BE BILLED THAT FEE.Â
So please, if you see an ad for something you like off etsy, do not click it. Just go on etsy and search for it.
This is somehow worse than what storenvy used to pull.Â
Please go directly through an artist or see if they have their own storefront (I use bigcartel) instead of purchasing off etsy. And if you must, just please, please, never click an etsy ad.
Just to avoid any confusion, weâre talking about paid ads bought by etsy that will be hosted on google or facebook and be associated with Etsy themselves. This example is from Kikidoodle on twitter of what it looks like when you google their stuff.Â
Clicking This WILL penalize artists. Clicking links shared by artists when theyâre advertising their own things on tumblr and social media Will not.Â
Please donât be scared to still share your favorite artists or cool merch! Just donât click the ads Etsy is personally buying space for!
Also a note, people who make under 10k annual are allowed to opt out! But make no mistake that this guillotine will eventually come down on them as well, Etsy loves to soft launch this kinda thing :)
Remember when they added fees to shipping costs? And then the next year they said hey why not just add the cost of shipping to the product so we can lie about free shipping? Youâre paying fees either way so why not? (also weâll penalize you for not offering free shipping sooooo)
Etsy LOVES to soft launch this bullshit. This is phase 1.
Yep, got the emails about this today. EVERYONE is auto- enrolled for the âOffsite Adsâ on multiple high-traffic sites including Google, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Bing. Program starts March 27th.
While shops selling under $10k USD in the past year can opt out, there is currently no way to do that and theyâre avoiding answering how to on the Q&A forum. Shops selling over $10k USD are ârequiredâ to be in the program (even if they do their own advertising some other way or do not wish to increase sales) . And looking over the updated policies it appears that if your sales fall from over to under the 10k USD threshold youâre still required to remain in the program.
Current plan (and advice to others in the under 10k group) is to set my shop to vacation mode the day before launch until i can opt out of the program.
Advised another friend who does their own social media promotion and doesnât rely so much on Etsy search to setup their own Square store since they use it at cons already.
You will meet many disabled and mentally ill people who wonât fit into your idea of how a mentally ill or disabled person is supposed to look and act - and the solution to that is to let them expand your knowledge of what mental illness and disability can look like, not insisting that they arenât actually disabled or mentally ill because they donât fulfill certain stereotypes.

Dewey figures out what a grown-ass adult could not.
My sister actually had vampire who keeps going back to medical schools over and over and over again. Every time he completes it he adds a âDr.â to his title. Right now heâs âDr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Vampireâ.
without the knowledge of ocs this implies that she owned a vampire. like kept one as a pet
