I Won A Book From A Contest At My Library. I Have Dyslexia And They Were Able To Get An Audio Book For

I have no idea what to make of this, but thank you for including the alt text in the images themselves so my text to speech could read it and I could experince...

Yeah, whatever the hell that was thx

now now, don't cry. eighteenth-century yiddish folktale about sir gawain becoming emperor of china, okay?

My family won’t support me in my vent endeavors so I pay a therapist $$$ instead.

Either way I do not leave comments on fics and only very, very, very rarely respond to the toxic slug pit that is internet discourse.

sometimes people are absolutely WILD about comments, acting like the idea that they shouldn’t be a jerk is a violation of their first amendment rights 

last week i read a fic i HATED. it was well written and highly recommended and i wish i had never read it. hours of my life i will never get back. 

i disagreed with: it’s interpretation on canon, it’s take on mental health, the social contract between loved ones, recovery, trauma, boundaries, and … more tbh

i could NOT stop thinking about how much i disagreed with it. me and this fic have philosophical differences so large i could give a ted talk and i was still super irritated about it days later. 

so you know what i did?

i called up my friends and was like “you guys have no context but i’m going to bitch about this fic you haven’t read in this fandom you haven’t consumed for the next thirty minutes” and they were like “okay sure it’s a tuesday night, we’re in a pandemic, i have nothing better to do”

what did i not do? 

leave a comment on this person’s fic because i’m a human person

I'm on the East Coast, went to sleep at 9 pm, hoping to sleep through the night. Nope, nightmare and awake at 11:00 pm.

People are freaking out based on these early results and I just can't with that shit tonight. We know how it goes - Republicans look like they're doing well early on, then as more votes are counted and more polls close there's the shift. And yet every time we lose our minds.

This is the first I've heard about the JKR black mold thing and I wanted to know WTF picture people were talking about. Came across this reddit thread

If you're not on Xitter, you might have missed the whole "JK Rowling has black mold seeping through her walls in her profile pic, and that's why she's Like That now" debacle.

And can I just say, as someone who also had black mold in the walls of my house that was making me deathly ill and affecting my mental health, I'm really not enjoying the connotations that breathing in black mold spores make you a racist transphobe.

Like I'm just saying. There's off your rocker because you're becoming Patient Zero and then there are the life choices and decisions she has chosen to make because she's a bigot.

The two are not the same.

Stop making excuses for her.

I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS 9TH GRADE. THAT’S NEARLY 10 YEARS AGO. MY CHEST IS SCREAMING

AHHHHHH

Feel free to elaborate further in the tags, especially if you picked Option 3 because as a professor myself it MYSTIFIES me that there are students who do that! (Also, unless it is just the Culture at your school or something, you should not do that. For future reference)

post: white women need to be careful not to use their fears- which may be based on real past harm, like any fears! -to hurt others by acting aggressively towards people who are oppressed on other axes, when they haven't done anything

me: so true!

comments: SO TRUST ALL STRANGE MEN IN ANY SITUATION IMPLICITLY, OR YOU'RE BEING A KAREN AND PROBABLY ALSO BIGOTED

me: ...um

Vaspider, I'm scared.

Honey, we’re all scared. Courage is turning your fear into a weapon. I’m afraid, and I use my fear to fight. Use your fear as a weapon. Turn your anger into a blade. The forging of that weapon may take time, but work on it every day. Every day, sharpen your fear. Turn it into a blade. Use it for attack or defense, but make a blade of your fear.

I need to be able to play Cullen’s “to work” from Dragon Age Inquisition before I sit down to do something productive and then have it transition seamlessly into my productive music.

@prokopetz

made me think of you

I love it soooo much!!!!

SOB LOOK AT 'EM!

I am so so happy you like it! I hope these lil owlbear butts (or as my spouse calls them- "Hoot-Hoot Patoots") support your wrist wonderfully!
