Any travel advice site will tell you to travel like a local, but honestly you should local like a traveller. Go out with wide eyes and curiosity. Visit museums and parks and art galleries, try out the overpriced but highly rated restaurants that only tourists visit, take photos and video, stop to read those heritage information signs, treat yourself to an ice cream on a hot day. Don't let tourists be the only ones who take joy in your home.
studying ancient history will have you thinking stuff like The 18th century was basically yesterday
I mean it was
i think its pathetic that journalists and even some casual speakers call twitter "X" now. weak fish behaviour. you dont have to play along
I told my aunts that loaned me money when my dad died that I got the life insurance money (I didn't say how much it was for, just that I had received it, which they knew would happen) and could pay them back for a plane ticket and the cost of cremation (respectively) and then they immediately were like adding my uncle to the group chat and being like: "oh also we should divide up the hotel room your uncle covered and the meals we paid for, plus all the shipping expenses even though we insisted on shipping private because the cost wasn't that much of a difference."
Silly me for thinking that you guys treated me to dinner because my dad was dead, I guess! I didn't realize when you said you could cover the shipping costs for me, that wasn't like...a kindness? God damn lol. None of them are hurting for money, I just thought the right thing to do would be to offer to pay back the money I specifically asked for help with (plane ticket + cremation).
I'm still stunned over this. Waiting for an invoice at this rate lmfao.
Literally the texts:
Me saying I'd send copy of the death certificate:
Yes. I have also received the insurance money, if you or (aunt #2) would like me to pay you back
I meant specifically for what I asked them for help with!
Then I said:
👍🏻 also I'm going on a vacation with friends soon so I've been asking friends and family if they have any souvenir requests (explained thing my mom wanted)
And then I get a 'nice, when do you leave?" Followed by THIS text in a different group chat.
Hey, — thanks for reaching out about expenses. I've included (Aunt 1) & Uncle so they can get any receipts as needed. I believe (A1) paid $2400ish for the cremation. (Uncle) covered the hotel (had to be at $200-300/night x 3 nights) which we should divide by 4 to reimburse him. I (Aunt #2) covered your flight ($800, 8/22) we all covered meals, and we all covered the shipping of boxes (over $100/box and 6-8+ boxes).
My reply was just like.
Okay. I can use PayPal to pay you all back from my funds. Just let me know what the final calculation is for my portion of the hotel, meals and the boxes total you want paid back.
Also if you guys kept receipts from meals that would be helpful to know how much I spent. I definitely suggested less expensive places, but didn't keep track of my portion of each meal. Ty.
Because what the fuck lmfao. Don't worry about it, they said. We've got it, they said. Let's go to these fancy fucking restaurants, they said.
🫠😑 quick math and like...I think they want me to give them what... Close to $4,000??? Not even accounting for meals??? So more than that? This is probably like $4-5,000.
Yeah. Awesome. Thanks sooooo much.
I'M NOT BUYING YOU SOUVENIRS ANYMORE.

I love everything about this.
@headspacedad Is this true? Because I love the concept of bunnies practically flipping the bird
this is TRUE!
Rabbits rely on body language for the majority of their communication. They also rely on manners in a way that would make the Heian Era aristocrats look uncultured. And you don’t get manner dictates like that without ALSO knowing how to be passive-aggressive with them.
Rabbit flops are super vulnerable for a bunny. Their stomachs are exposed and they’re in a position that means if danger shows up they have to waste precious seconds getting up before they can sprint for safety. A rabbit flop means both ‘I’m so happy I can’t contain it’ and ‘I feel so safe I am going to be vulnerable and really let go’. Rabbit owners love seeing it. It means that your bun really does feel that safe around you. It’s a pretty high compliment from an animal that knows everyone’s out to kill them.
However -
it can also be used passive aggressively in the ‘you mean so little to me you’re not even worth acknowledging as existing’. It’s right on the same level as walking into a room and greeting everyone but one person. An enemy rabbit would be a threat. This rabbit? This rabbit isn’t even important enough to be a threat. They’re a nobunny and so I will flop because there is nothing in the area worthy enough to bother being aware of.
To humans it can look very much the same but trust me, the bunnies know exactly which is which.

us americans have a bajillion blind spots when it comes to how we think the world revolves around us, and we have got to stop being grown ass adults who whine that it's because our third grade education wasn't up to par or whatever. if elementary school was over a decade ago, then you have got to just admit you were ignorant about something and fix it.
i'm sorry you're not smarter than a fifth grader but we're moving on now.
Professor strange please: what’s going on with MCR??? I keep seeing vague posts but I’m at work and I want the tea 🍵
incredibly necessary context
There are no words that can express how much i love black cats.
Will humanity ever be free of the influence of Edna Mode? Can any of us so much as consider the character design for a hero or villain without her manifesting in the room, fully aware of our sins?
You know what, another layer of difficulty is when you’re thinking about villains, and the wise words of Megamind come into your head. You don’t just want your child to be just a regular villain. But how do you make your villain a Supervillain with no cape? Where is the drama? But Edna says no capes, you must deny them the flair. It is impossible to please them both, and it’s tearing this family apart.
you. you get it.

Counteroffer: Big dramatic cloak to protect your identity that you drop on the floor before every fight
I can’t believe the compromise is Obi-Wan Kenobi
“No capes!”
“Game on, then.”
Okay, but I love that Gandalf is just dropping his cloak to reveal another, slightly smaller cloak underneath it.
It's hysterical to think of capes like breakaway cat collars tbh
art classes update i got lots of compliments on my latest nude
Oh wait preview close-ups (after Klimt)
This is also probably the best first page in a sketchbook sketch I've ever done which is hilarious because it's on fucking black paper
I love the textures! And the purple highlight with the posca 🤩
Thank you!! Yeah I went with purple line/highlight bc normally I would try to use like...an earthy red color? Like a venetian red colored pencil or something would be what I would reach for if I didn't want black ink lines. But I don't have any poscas that are vaguely that color lol. So I was like I GUESS .... PURPLE?? Hahahaha. I love when you just ...do something bc you can't do what you might normally do and it works.
I felt guilty bc the assignment was actually much more quick croquis drawings in multi-media but I spent sooo long just playing with these paint brush pens that this is all I finished lol. But Al (the teacher) was soooo complimentary and said he loved that I took the original from cool and distant to something very playful and I was like !!!! O////O
And then I also admitted it was because I didn't have a way to make the line of the mouth match bc the pastel was too thick and I couldn't correct it so...she started smiling lmfao.
Anyways I may do more drawings on black paper because it's really fun.
emo boys are becoming endangered. We must start a breeding program

This is pure pedantry, but please, folks: it's nepotism if the unfair advantage is because of your relatives. If it's because of your friends, it's cronyism.
