This might be one of my favorite posts ever. Dying with laugher. All the people who did the most awkward things and can’t let it go (that sounds horrible but in execution these are truly funny). To the guy who hugged the lead singer in the bathroom…that’s rough, buddy www.reddit.com/r/Metalcore/...

As always

There is absolutely no excuse for any Democrat asked about trans athletes to ever respond with anything but “why are you wasting my time asking about FEWER THAN FIFTEEN CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY WHO WANT TO PLAY GAMES WITH THEIR FRIENDS. What is wrong with you?”

Good thread. As someone who has read and respected Walden and has seen takes this morning that read as kneejerk reaction, I do hope there is some dialogue on this. Haven’t had the chance to dig into the many youtube bite-sized history videos with the same exact title of the two figures’ names cont.

Back at it watching Sleep Token drumeo videos at 70% speed because ii is just so blisteringly fast and precise that I’ve only recognized one technique in a fill before he’s thrown in three or four more. Mind boggling. Unfortunately going so slow makes Vessel sound a bit drunk 😅 youtu.be/BArxPd3vIkc

Hard as a perfectionist to hear at my first lesson “this drumming technique is going to take you months to a year to get it to sound right” and not mentally hear “Challenge Accepted!! I will practice until my fingers bleed and my wrists fall off!” which was *probably* not what he meant or intended 😬

This is why I also can’t stand “engagement” as a term either. To me it skews towards marketing. Building brand loyalty, customer satisfaction, buy-in, positive reviews. The last thing I want to think about in relation to my writing is that. Otherwise I wouldn’t want it to be absolutely fucking free

No.

Words! Honest to god words emerged from my fingertips typing on my phone screen! Actual omegaverse-related haladriel words. It is a miracle. Only took two and a half months 😅 we’ll call it a sabbatical and not a brain juice drought

So so so excited for this one!!

Good thing fic is my hobby and not my job to put food on the table and kibble in the cats’ bowls because I’m not squeezing out two words to save my life right now. But! The hours of Sleep Token analysis instead are going to come in handy someday. Totally handy 😂 So long as stuff is fun, y’know?

new flavour of catholic guilt just dropped: procrastinating on your novel

Been going through some old art for a thing and I came across a few pieces I still like that I'd thought I'd reshare, starting with this one from my first solo show in 2018 (so long ago! 😭) #kidlitart

If you see this, post a pic from your phone without explanation! Have fun!

Devastating. Truly devastating.

this is his gofundme btw. would encourage everyone else who can to chuck this fella a couple quid www.gofundme.com/f/get-artist...

Second Breakfast let me pick him up and hold him in my arms! New achievement unlocked!! Just checked my photos app and it only took… a whole ass year. What a little nerd.

Love this! Art materials are meant to be used! Yes, even the good stuff. ESPECIALLY the good stuff. Nothing is "too good" or "too nice" to use. Break in that nice sketchbook, use the nice paper, open the good paints. Don't put it on the high shelf and deprive yourself of enjoying art supplies.

I’m going to not buy anything unless it’s necessary to live throughout now until July 24 (aka comic con time) but Karen O and Stevie Nicks at Olivia Rodrigo’s Daisy Chain Festival?! This is going to be a test of my willpower and it’s only day one 😭

THE dress, to my mind. Númenor was perfection

Don't forget to put water outside for the animals in this heat🐦🐦

And because this is social media and people will go all sorts of weird directions with it: no, this does not mean I support the war in Iran, or that I support imposing Western values all over the world. It just means that as for me and my city, we will celebrate Pride.

Egypt and Iran have requested that Pride events in Seattle during their World Cup match be canceled and… no. Welcome to Seattle. This might be the most patriotic I’ve felt in my life. Pride isn’t happening during your game; you’re here during Pride. Suck a rainbow. apnews.com/article/worl...

I’m having a similar problem but no spouse. Just layabout cats while I am forced to do spreadsheets. The supurrvisors doing their thing as per usual. The gall of it all.

The Wound That Woke the Kraken, #OFMD fanart, one of my favourite pieces and I think the only one I've ever named 🤔 Busily working on NDA things so pardon the reposts! ❤️

Hello “spending the wee hours on job sites” my old friend. I’ve done to talk with you again. Scream/sigh/lol I mean I’ll do a LOT to stay in my fields but working at not even 😬 but straight up 🙃 religious institutions is pretty much a no-go for me so options become Very Limited.

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

Hello all you lovely Haladriel/Saurondriel people! We have a summer event coming up that you can take part in! Saurondriel Summer Week will run July 27th - August 2nd, and there are two prompts a day to pick from, plus a bonus list! ☀️🏖️🌊🎆🥾🏕️🌄🍦🚗

EEEEEEEEEE!! IT’S HERE!!!! Spread the word far and wide, friends!

Okay it is free drum lesson time! Will now see if I’ve already ingrained any truly horrendous habits like “are you even holding the sticks correctly” (spoiler alert: I don’t think I am)

Honestly staring off into space after that one (beyond affectionate)

Realized that this weekend had been me getting into twitch and gaming, buying some used weights to work out with while listening to metalcore and having my first drumming lesson I have become a twenty year old dude bro in my final lesbian form

"Water Wight" from a few years back.

The American Library Association is auctioning off a bunch of the classic celebrity “READ” posters along with a bunch of other full sized literacy posters. This is going to fix so many of my problems, I just know it. movieposters.ha.com/c/search/res...

"Can you explain this gap in your resume?" No, I don't remember. I'm on a long-term, narrative arc, trying to figure out where I was and what I was doing during that time. I'm going to find out why I don't remember, find who is responsible. And most importantly, I'm going to make them pay.

I laughed, I cried, I laughed some more, I cried some more. All of this took place in a public carport and I have zero shame about it. It’s that good. 😍🫠

Look at this little tiny chick I painted 🥹 (It’s a Qi Baishi style study) #art

They’re getting to the 20k goal! Go Essex folks, go! Your librarians and friends, family, fellow townsfolk need you! (Says this person who does not live there but cares very passionately that Others care about these things too)

Nobody is making profits. It is going to burst and it is going to take all those data centers with it. Keep your skills. Practice your crafts. Hold on to your books. Stay sharp.

I’m an writer and I don’t use AI because, as you might recall my mentioning earlier, I’m a writer.

Party Knight. ⚜️

Blessed Solstice everyone! I'm being treated like a king today! Everyone in this village is so nice and festive - and I've been invited to a massive clifftop barbeque at sunset tonight! Perfect end to a great Solstice festival 🥰

To the cute flight attendant in Phoenix who said she loved my Sleep Token shirt, I hope you know how difficult it was not to yell “Tomb or EIA??? And are you way into ii’s drumming too????” because I didn’t want to sound like a completely unhinged human

Holy hell. And weird coincidence that I was just talking at length with a colleague today about seeing him in concert many years ago and how transformative it was for little rebel Myrs whose parents boycotted the performance and sat in the car because of his hippie values lol
