This is the one day of the year you can acknowledge this scrib. Please wish him a Merry Scribmas!

Today is the fourteenth anniversary of Skyrim's initial release! Do you still have your original character's save file, or did you finish their story completely at one point?

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

An idea based on a screenshot that @duchzwyspy.bsky.social posted on tumblr a few days ago. Thought it would be funny... #myart #tes #tesart #morrowind #skyrim #TheElderScrolls #TeldrynSero #danger!Josh #Nerevarine #Dunmer #DarkElf #Elf #elfart

Threaten me with a good time why don't ya?

Update: almost £300 raised, thank you so much to everyone who's donated! Please continue to share, I'm desperate!

Please circulate and donate if you can. My life is in danger.

I really need to get out of my current living situation. I've been unemployed and out of education for a year. Every day I live in fear of getting killed by a narcissist and my only option atm is obtaining a German visa (chancenkarte) that will enable me to spend 12 months there looking for work.

A little life update on why I took a hiatus from Talviel's Kitchen. Should I come back? Maybe?

Temporarily popped my head back into Tastes of Tamriel to bless y'all with a new tavern menu. Enjoy!

From the bottom of my heart, I hope every single one of these games flops and their developers go out of business 🖤

At the moment it's completely devoid of content, but if you're interested in my work please head to substack.com/@slamthropol... as I'll get cracking on some essays and fun stuff once I'm a little healthier!

Sooo I kind of forgot that I have a public anthropology blog about my research on pain, embodiment, and phenomenology. It started as a PhD thing, but since I'm no longer doing that, I'm thinking of bringing this to Substack when I get organised. What do you think? CW FOR🩸! #hooksuspension

Thanks @katbutttail.bsky.social for the tag 🖤 I will name my five faves but refrain from tagging others because social anxiety! Food: Cheese (especially Stinking Bishop) Season: Winter Drink: Dirty chai Colour: Black (or hot pink, for the "it's a shade people) Anime: I don't watch anime 🙃

I know that this is a joke, but as someone who has a Master's degree and went on to do a PhD, I can promise that you will only graduate feeling even more frustrated, confused, and lost. Well, at least if you're an anthropologist.

Oh, I'm doing things again? I guess so! I've been put on a mandatory work break for the rest of the month, but things are happening...slowly...

Would absolutely watch.

I’ve just seen a rabbit rescue say that because Easter is coming up they are already getting enquiries from parents wanting to buy rabbits as Easter presents. When told that they are an 8 plus year commitment and need a lot of space they were hung up on. Absolutely boils my piss

Some day you'll be dead and someone will buy your skull a nice hat and love you.

I'm starting my first DND campaign! DND stands for Do Not Disturb! All players must sit in total silence and let me work for 10 hours straight uninterrupted!

Bots trawling posts for the string "jstor" would be my bet.

"I hate it in here," I say, pointing to my head.

Well, there goes my plan for incorporating my research on pain into my PhD thesis. I was given advice on what this year's intake should be submitting so guess who's writing TWO separate academic projects now. Ffs.

Spring is coming, - so cool shit starting to turn out of the ground in Denmark. Here are a couple of finds from this week!

I love being a researcher and writer but this keeps happening and it just might kill me one day

LOOKING FOR INTERVIEW PARTICIPANTS I'm currently looking at interviewing three separate groups of participants: those who struggle with chronic mental and physical pain conditions/disability; those who use pain as a form of spiritual/religious catharsis in ritual settings (contd)

Well, FFSAKE. VA DMV took my plates away after 6 years, even tho what they thought they read was all in their filthy minds! 😂 Sooooo… I took a Wabbajack to them and it turned out like THIS.

THOR MONTH - is an old name for March in Southern Scandinavia, but does that really have anything to do with the god Thor?? Some scholars reject this, but I have a different view. Here I argue for this mythic association to the old name: youtu.be/z5hTgfD62AI?...

This was taken from Instagram, and hasn't gotten much recognition outside of the body modification community, but Jessica Brosche, a German tourist with a valid ESTA (holiday visa permit) has been in detention by ICE for almost a month now. This is absolutely abhorrent.

Highly doubt that anyone is gonna understand this one but here's something to send to someone smelly

Musk killed these people.

I know Elon has claimed he’s on the spectrum, and people have various theories on it, but what if he’s just a racist asshole who’s high on ketamine all the time?
