"We need more Dream stan artists/writers!" you guys can't even handle multishippers

the most valueable skill a white leftist can ever learn is how to take an L with grace.

You gotta be able to take an L if your moral and ethical belief systems are to be capable of guiding you. Otherwise you just have an idealized self where you get really mad and scared when anyone points out it isn't actually you. How the fuck are you gonna walk the walk if you can't handle being told when you are not, in fact, actually walking it

you cannot just socially transition into being a good person you are going to have to settle for being a messy human being who has to try and fail and keep trying to get better like everyone else. yeah even when it's embarassing and sucks for you a lot.

Ya gotta learn to earnestly and honestly say "Oh shit, my bad."

And to then end the sentence there, not launch into a paragraph of explanation or panicked super-apology.

me when I "mysteriously" feel better after I "have something to eat"

Having a much older, much more experienced person tell you you're doing well in your shared hobby is better than crack, especially when the hobby tends to be 80% retired ppl. Like, hell yeah I'm gonna get a good grade in birdwatching and I'm not even 50. Child prodigy moment

Spotted a bird today that turned out to be a yellow-bellied sapsucker (uncommon here this time of year apparently) and received several "well spotted!"s and "good find!"s. You wish you were me

okay wait here's the clip (post here)

every time someone brings up famous people they share a birthday with I have to begrudgingly tell people that I share a birthday with war criminal george w bush. so now I’m asking - who do you begrudgingly share a birthday with?

This is great.

I forwarded this to my orgs network security guy, he thought it was funny so this is going in the blog

I sent this to my work sysadmin and he fucking hated it

AO3 should have an Annotation Mode where you can click to view all of the author's commentary and thoughts about certain parts of the work. A little comment that says "I spent five hours researching vintage radio mechanics for this and didn't even end up using it" or "this is an ancient Hebrew literary technique!" would make my day

everyone needs to have an oc that would've hit hard when they were like 13. im talking tortured in a lab, elfen lied type shit. its good for the soul
