*sighs eternally*

What's going on with this silly orange cat? 😺

I think an easy way to sum up american domestic architecture is that if you are remodeling and older bathroom you have to watch for razor blades in the walls

What could possibly be more american than creating a disposable version of a product (safety razor vs straight razor), determining that the waste generated was both dangerous (sharp!) and compact (flat!), and that the best solution was to just.. put a hole to stuff them in the walls and make it the next generation’s problem

@thefallingdream i have dealt with this so many times it’s stupid

The random photos i found though don’t do justice to what it actually looks like when encountered in the wild

Those are fucking clean looking blades. I always find masses of rusty blades with hair and general detritus.

Like having a damp rotting sharps container in the wall that you can’t empty

i desperately need my moots who aren’t doctor who fans to see this PLEASE

#no fucking way we got sacha dhawan as the master BEING Rasputin and dancing to rasputin by Boney M in 1916 Siberia #all in front of his tied up ex just to taunt her #surrounded by the universe’s most powerful military races #hes such a BITCH i love him

italian academia. it’s like dark academia, except the the walls of your school building have long cracks running all the way down to the floor because they haven’t been fixed since the irregular construction boom of the 80s, one of the ceiling lamps creaks and flickers ominously, you drink espressos from the machine, and the most common crime is not murder but driving down the corridors in a scooter

“While hiking in Olympic National Park a couple days ago I experienced something I had never heard of. It’s called a Brocken Spectre or Mountain Spectre.  It’s my shadow in the center of the Aura or “Glory”. It was probably the coolest thing I’ve ever experienced in all of my mountain days and I certainly felt very lucky. Here is a link to the short video I made that gives a better idea of the juxtaposition. https://youtu.be/CWZ03O_a0Qw” -  Nikki K

for those not into deltarune, 1) a couple weeks ago fangamer announced a deltarune merch drop for today, 2) people immediately started speculating that they were going to release a spamton plush (imo mostly out of wishful thinking bc actually bringing plushes to market is a multi month long process even without pandemic-related issues), 3) the actual drop happened 45 minutes ago as of posting this and it turns out that yes, they are working on a spamton plush but it’s not going to be ready until next year, and in its place they released a spamton “fun pak” for 20 american dollars that includes one (1) temporary tattoo, doorknob hanger, car air freshener, novelty pencil, magnet, “pipis ->” sticker, sponge, and pipis shaker, and 4) the initial batch of fun paks sold out in 25 minutes flat and the second batch at a “specil discounted rate” of $19.97 sold out in under a minute. there is literally something in the water making people swarm this garbage puppet like a bunch of angry wasps

Admitting my star sign was a mistake.

“Oh, so that’s why you are they way you are. You’re two fire signs ruled over by water!”

Pretty sure it’s just the ADHD.

A fun thing to do whenever someone asks you your sign is to lie about your birthday. It still means listening to them attempt to explain your entire personality badly for a few minutes, but then you can undercut them as soon as it gets too annoying. 

So, for a while I was doing mailroom/account followup work for a nonprofit, and on my firt day there, one of the ladies, “Debbie” asked me when my Birthday was. Assuming she was planning office Birthday parties, I told her.

The next day she came in with my ENTIRE star chart with personality tropes, life advice, predicitons for my future and so on. Now, I don’t go in for Astrology but I can tell when someone is making a well-meaning gesture and I can say “Thank you” and shut up.

Especially because I told her the Wrong Birthday.

See, my birthday is in the middle of a cluster of a whole bunch of family birthdays and growing up I used to have to share my Birthday with my older cousins and while that’s not really a big deal (even fun if you’re older) it kinda sucks when you’re five and none of your cousins share your interests.

So mom made a deal with me: We’d celebrate my “Un-Birthday” in January, when nobody else in the family has a birthday or anything else, and the “real” birthday would be my Cousin’s. I got my own birthday and they got a second party and it was fun.

As I got older, I just started using my Un-Birthday for everything except paperwork, becuase January is boring and bereft of holidays except the one that’s really part of Xmas these days. On paperwork, I put my real one, but I’ve been celebrating my birthday in the wrong month for over 25 years now, and didn’t think about it when she asked, and told her my Un-Birthday.

And for a few weeks everything was fine.

But Debbie had a RIVAL.

Another woman in the office “Sharon” was also big into Astrology and was convinced Debbie was Doing It Wrong, so when she was going over payroll, she saw my Legal Birthday, realized Debbie had filled out the chart wrong, and then proceded to drag Debbie on the company facebook group, and a bunch of astrology groups they were both in.

I found out when I came in three days later from a long weekend and Debbie burst into tears and sobbed “HOW COULD YOU LIE TO MEEEEEE???”

After an extremely garbled recounting by our coworkers, a talk with my manager about “Hey yeah I don’t think it’s Legal for Sharon to take my name and date of birth from Payroll and put it all over facebook?”, the manager had a talk about “I know you are all over 50 but this is NOT WHAT THE COMPANY FACEBOOK IS FOR”, Sharon was ‘removed from the premesis’ and I finally got to sit down with Debbie.

I explained the slip-up and how I sort of have two birthdays and think of the January Birthday is my “Real” one.

Debie looked up from where she’d been sobbing into her tissue all morning, realization dawning on her less like the illumination of the sun and more like a baby sea turtle headed in the wrong direction because of light Pollution.

“Oh!” She said “You’re TRANS-ZODIAC! You might have been born as an Aries, but you’re really a Capricorn!”

As someone who’s been hit by a minivan and gotten a minor skull fracture from it, I’m pretty sure hearing that sentence gave me more brain damage.

“Sure Debbie.”

You know, I had no idea where this ride was going to take us, but of all the outcomes I expected, that was not it.

What, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck.

Listen. I think I just unlocked a new emotion.

Skylar Brandt was supposed to debut as Aurora today but since the season was canceled she debuted her own Rose Adagio.

Ok this is SO COOL because the Rose Adagio is a partnered dance–Aurora does exactly what’s shown in the video, but with the prince there rotating her and holding her waist, both for the attitude balance and the pirouettes. That wobbling you see while she turns? That’s not because she’s off balance (you could literally never do this without absolutely pinpoint perfect balance), that’s from the subtle movement of her foot to rotate herself. She is all the way en pointe, rotating sheerly by veeeery slightly adjusting her foot. You may be looking at this going “I don’t know much about ballet, but this looks pretty amazing.” I know ballet, and let me tell you, this is 100%, absolutely, INSANELY difficult, impressive, and fucking radical. Amazing doesn’t even begin to describe it.

Did I ever tell you all about the time my dad was teaching and a student climbed IN the window?

I only got like two responses on this but it’s one of my favorite stories from my dad’s classroom so buckle up.

So my dad taught junior English at a local high school, he taught on the second story of a building that was built back when schools had large windows that opened, and his windows faced the front of the building.

So one day in like April he’s teaching Moby Dick or Gone with the Wind or something with the windows open a crack to allow spring air into the classroom and one of the windows opens further and a kid climbs in through the window.

This kid, who hasn’t been at school since winter break, puts his finger to his lips. crouches for a second under the window, crawls to the classroom door, peaks out the window in the door, opens the door and slips into the hall.

He apparently then dashes down the hall, slips through the door into another junior English class (taught by my dad’s friend), where he again puts his finger to his lips, jogs across the room, climbs out the window (which faced a courtyard on the backside of the front hall) and disappears.

Turns out, the kid had been in a juvenile detention center since Christmas, escaped, and decided no one would look for him in his school. To this day I have no idea what happened after he climbed into the courtyard.

#this kid and the pie kid are my favories

Please tell about the pie kid because this story is hilarious and I want to hear about the pie kid

Ah yes, pie kid. The pie kid is legendary at the school.

So my dad’s school has faculty meetings every Teusday after school, and the teachers would all bring food (because after 7+ hours of school even teachers are hungry then they have to sit in a meeting for at least an hour talking about test scores or whatever).

So this kid, I don’t know what the motivation here was, but he would sneak into the library and take food from the meetings. Usually they just let him because, I mean, he’s not really harming anything. That just made him bolder though. One day he began taking an entire pie from the meetings.

So one day he’s sitting in the hall eating an entire pie because high school, and security took offense at this (because he was in the building after all students were supposed to leave, also he was apparently a trouble maker who security was familiar with) and this is where the story starts getting a little crazy.

Obviously, when security shows up, pie kid runs (carrying the uneaten half of his pie). This becomes a normal Teusday afternoon sight: security chasing pie kid through the halls as he’s eating pie stolen from a faculty meeting. The kid regularly found himself in odd corners of the building, including the roof, the boiler room, the field house, the magnet school behind the high school, etc. hiding from security and eating his pie.

Eventually, security caught up with him and his pie and dragged him to the principal’s office.

Now, the principal at this point is a little.. strict. He runs a tight ship.. or thinks he does.. you know those people who are VERY concerned with their world being EXTREMELY orderly and the world just stares them in the face and refuses? That was this principal’s life. He was trying to make a 2,500 student high school walk in lock step. As shown by the last story, that doesn’t happen at this school.

So the principal is alerted that pie kid, who’s been on the run from security for 2 months, is in his office with today’s pie. So the kid waits in the office finishing his pie and the principal walks in, closes the door, sits down, and says something like “what is going on?”

At this point the kid (who has finished his pie of the day) gets up, calmly walks over to the window, opens it, climbs out, hops the bushes under the window, and runs away.

That was the last anyone at the school saw him.

Well that was unexpected but a lovely tie in and that school needs to have better control of its windows.

What happened?

Dril is homestuck. I am shaken to my core

Well ye he was literally a writer on Hiveswap

I can’t tell if this is serious or not, because it’s plausible yet absurd.

I’m utterly serious.

On the subject of Dril’s identity, wikipedia says:

At some point, people apparently made a connection between Dril and somebody called Paul Dochney, at least partially due to a linkedin page which shows Dochney’s contributions to Bear Stearns Bravo. Apparently there were further connections as well, to do with old accounts and comparisons of artwork, etc. I’m not up to scratch on the precise details of that, but an old tumblr reblog from 2014 from somebody claiming to know Dril also lists his name as being “Paul”. Why is this relevant to Hiveswap, you ask? Here’s part of the Hiveswap credits:

In addition to this, it’s worth noting that one of the 205 twitter accounts that @dril follows is Cohen Edenfield, the lead writer of Hiveswap.

Also, I spoke to somebody who did audio effects work for Hiveswap shortly after the Act 1 release, and while they seemed to not be entirely privy to the details they also brought up a connection. Now that we know that Dril is working with Hussie for certain and is a contributor to the new SBaHJ book, I think it’s pretty much confirmed to be legit at this point.

Here’s more discussion of the dril connection on reddit from after the Hiveswap release.
