this was a great read. āLaziness Does Not Existā by Devon Price
Having just turned 35, let me just say that most of this is already something I keep in mind, that knees really are bastards, and that it's okay to start slowly.
I turn 30 next month so hereās what I learned in my 20s:
ādonāt work for startups, theyāre always one āinnovative ideaā away adding āsell your kidneys on the black marketā to your job description.
ākeeping a collection of basic OTC medicine on you will save your life one day. I recommend Advil, Imodium, and TUMS.
āthose little single-use glasses cleaning wipes are 1000% worth the money
āoverly self-depreciating jokes just make people uncomfortable, wean yourself off of them
āyou can buy dehydrated mini marshmallows in bulk online and theyāre a godsend for hot cocoa
āpeople donāt care if you have fidget toys on your desk they just want to play with them
ātry to go to bed BEFORE the existential ennui kicks in
!!!Ā”!!!
Aaaaah, I forgot how weird my dreams can get when I go to sleep normally instead of taking sudaphed before bed every night!
My brain decided to dream about a bleach/dc crossover for absolutely no reason XDĀ
adult!Uryuu in gotham as a visiting professor at the local college. He sees a Hollow, decides heās bored as hell and goes out to fight it. Batman goes āwtfā and grumps at him bc Archer Standing In Midair. Also You Look Familiar. Are you Seriously Not Even Going To Try To Hide Who You Are.
Uryuu is both confused and a little incredulous about this ā āWho would believe you if you told them?ā
And of course Batmanās just āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ So what do you know about current events in Americaā which confuses Uryuu more which makes Batman more grumpy XD
It was kinda hilarious, honestly. I donāt think Iāll actually write a one-shot with that crossover, but it was a fun dream.
"The trannies should be able to piss in whatever toilet they want and change their bodies however they want. Why is it my business if some chick has a dick or a guy has a pie? I'm not a trannie or a fag so I don't care, just give 'em the medicine they need."
"This is an LGBT safe space. Of COURSE I fully support individuals who identify as transgender and their right to self-determination! I just think that transitioning is a very serious choice and should be heavily regulated. And there could be a lot of harm in exposing cis children to such topics, so we should be really careful about when it is appropriate to mention trans issues or have too much trans visibility."
One of the above statements is Problematic and the other is slightly annoying. If we disagree on which is which then working together for a better future is going to get really fucking difficult.
If I had a dollar for every time my last name was misspelled, I'd have a whole lot of dollars because I lost count by second grade...

I went in the code again and saw the new Boop paws were vectors this time, so I converted them into some good sized pngs that are a little easier to work.
Save and share to boop your people later!
Because this shows you that history can be hilarious!! šš¤£
iāll never get over the fact that thereās a movie calledĀ āsnakes on a planeā and in that movie thereās a line that is, verbatim,Ā āive had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking planeā.
that is absolutely bonkers. thatās ridiculous. thatās like making a movie calledĀ āgators in the sewerā and having someone in the movie sayĀ āim getting really sick and tired of these fucking gators in the sewerā
As an ace myself, yes.
I'm trying to prove something.
First, all of this, but second, it's okay if you only had the spoons to do the basics and nothing else too!š
Here in Idaho, we have something that I keep calling the 'lending library' and what it is for is if you request a book or something to be added to the library, they can check if other libraries in the state have it. I don't know if other states have this but it's let me read at least 5 different out of print books.
I'll be the first one to say that my dad likely didn't know what to do with us, but I'll be the first one to say that he tried. We had a little hallway around the stairs and a little ledge thing along the stairs and that's where we went for timeout. He managed to be a good example for not only me but also my anger-issues older brother and my manic-depressive bi-polar older sister.
A lot of people around me are having kids and every day it becomes more apparent that hitting your children to punish them is insane because literally everything can be a horrible punishment in their eyes if you frame it as such.
Like, one family makes their toddler sit on the stairs for three minutes when he hits his brother or whatever. The stairs are well lit and he can see his family the whole time, heās just not allowed to get up and leave the stairs or the timer starts over. He fucking hates it just because itās framed as a punishment.
Another family use a baseball cap. Itās just a plain blue cap with nothing on it. When their toddler needs discipline he gets a timeout on a chair and has to put the cap on. When theyāre out and about he just has to wear the cap but it gets the same reaction. Nobody around them can tell heās being punished because itās in no way an embarrassing cap, but HE knows and just the threat of having to wear it is enough.
And there isnāt the same contempt afterwards Iāve seen with kids whose parents hit them. One time the kid swung a stick at my dog, his mother immediately made him sit on the stairs, he screamed but stayed put, then he came over to my dog and gently said āSorry Ellieā and went back to playing like nothing happened, but this time without swinging sticks at the nearby animals.
