op turned off reblogs but I want this forever

These posts are cousins to me.

It recently became department policy to purchase all our animal care supplies online and have them shipped, but my work location (public park) doesn't have a mailbox, so we've been getting things shipped directly to the post office. Today I went to pick up a shipment of several hundred superworms but the postal workers are insisting that it's not possible to have packages shipped directly to the post office. I gave them a tracking number which revealed they were delivered a couple days ago and now they're looking for them. Somewhere in the post office are 500 lost worms.

I can't believe the post office lost my worms

Update: they found my worms!!!!

The postal worker put these in front of me like she was delivering a bomb.

Honestly I can’t blame the postal worker; my advisor lost his grub ordering privileges after he failed to pick up a delivery from the front desk on time and they all hatched and escaped.

They told me not to have live bugs designated as Hold For Pickup anymore :(

If you don't know how ADHD works, I'm going to give you my most dramatic example.

A couple years ago, our toilet tank just fucking shattered. We live in a rented house, the toilet tank was older than I am, it's not unexpected in retrospect. So my wife and I just kind of tucked that shattered porcelain against the edge of the tub, between the tub and the toilet, while we waited for maintenance to get back to us (our rental management company is garbage, it takes a long time to get a response).

I remember distinctly looking at this broken, very sharp porcelain, and thinking "I gotta tell Mags to move that to the curb with the trash, preferably in a cardboard box, before someone gets hurt".

And then, having thought that, I put it out of my mind.

Not a minute later, I slammed the side of my foot into that very sharp porcelain and cut it open so bad I had to go to the ER and get stitches for the first time in my life. Because in my head, I'd already "dealt with it", by deciding to tell Mags to do a thing, and I probably would have if this hadn't happened.... but then I stopped thinking about the very real danger, I was thinking about something else entirely by the time I stood up and sliced my foot open on the known threat.

This is why people with untreated ADHD don't live as long. We're not stupid, we're not oblivious, we just. Forget. For a moment. For a second. And that's all it fucking takes.

there's a really funny 3d printing controversy going on btw.

if you don't know, there's a very popular 3d printing model out there called "benchy". this is used for benchmarking your 3d printer because it's a difficult print and will help test it out.

this is so widely used that people make their own little versions of it, remixing the 3d model to make benchy look cooler and stuff. however, a new company owns the benchy license. they are sending copyright takedowns to all those who wrongfully uploaded the benchy model.

of course, this is pissing off the 3d printing community greatly. everyone loved benchy and have used it for years. so someone on reddit decided to make a new model that is designed as a 3d printing stress test. one that works a lot like benchy, and people are freely able to edit it as they please. you know what they called it?

boaty.

By the way, It Could Happen Here and Behind the Bastards are great podcasts by Robert Evans and friends.

how do you do, fellow Creatives™

that's the spirit!!!!

This post is ancient and stupid but I still laugh whenever I see it

Ancient and BRILLIANT, I think you mean.

Guess who managed to finish their planned work for the day early and had some time to make a little sketch?

Alastor grooming (or, trying to groom) people he cares about, part 3 ♥ (part 1, part 2)

The idea came from @krisseratops Hope you like it, dear!

hell yeah.

The only real OTP

my brother kept playing with two ssds so I said "aw you're making them kiss" and he answered "yeah. and there's a 500 gb difference between them. barely legal" I'm going to blow him up

told him he was making numbers on tumblr (28 notes) and he said "stop using me for views I don't want furries to start hitting on me in the street" I fear his views of this website might be skewed

I'm not saying that there aren't furries on this website btw. I'm saying nobody's getting laid thanks to tumblr notes

this is like finding out all your friends were having secret orgy meetings and you were the only one not invited

the nether is terrifying because it is hell and monsters live there who want to hurt you. however, it gets even more terrifying when you think about Intentional Game Design. a world where you'll die if you try to sleep. you could get stuck there, growing wearier and wearier, until your eyes start to blur with the waves of heat rising from the earth. when you cave in and lay your head to rest the ground will explode. the souls trapped in the dirt will scream with you. you will never be heard. this world will rip you apart for the crime of being human. you cannot win. you cannot rest now. there are always monsters nearby.

do you know I'm in love with you, people who tag my work like this?

every day. all day
