whenever I confess to people that i feel like I am just roleplaying as a normal person they’re always like noooo you don’t strike me as someone who’s roleplaying as a normal person at all!!! :) and every time internally im like well yes that’s because I am excellent at it
Today round ass puppy revealed to me, exhausted, at the end of my rope, that her training wasn’t working not because she didn’t understand, she did, she did, but instead because treats, chicken, turkey and pork apparently weren’t enough motivation. She began obeying every word with startling accuracy as soon as she was offered something else. Doing backflips and stunts with pyrotechnics as prompted for the promise of a pea. A pea. She’s a dog. A pea. A pea. A pea. I have to carry peas around now. On my person. Personal peas. 🫛 peas

Lefty podcast that was doing a lot of “the Democrats are just as bad as the Republicans” shit last year in the months leading up to the election is going on about how bad it is that people on SNAP aren’t going to get their food stamps in November and going forward due to the shutdown.
OH. IS IT? IS IT REALLY. GEE I WONDER IF ANYONE TRIED TO POINT OUT HOW BAD IT WOULD BE IF TRUMP WON? DID ANYONE DO THAT, I WONDER?
Anyway. Fuck these people, donate to your local food bank.
#one of these podcasts (which I have stopped listening to out of fury) #immediately after trump won the election posted a series of episodes talking about bad things to expect under trump #and i was just WHY THE FUCK DIDN’T YOU PUBLISH THOSE BEFORE THE ELECTION YOU ASSWIPE #INSTEAD OF CONSTANTLY TALKING ABOUT HOW THE DEMOCRATS WERE FAILING PEOPLE AND SUCK #fucking lefists ( I say as a leftist)
I know the one you mean, Arin, and it’s that one.
If anyone needs help finding local food pantries, check out foodpantries.org. This is the website I use multiple times a day to help my clients in my job at a SNAP call center. If you’re on mobile you can even scroll down after you select the state to sort by distance. I recommend typing the zip code on the address line. Example:

just a heads up before we enter holiday market season
the price of silver has just about doubled in the past couple of years. I’m very unhappy about it, a lot of other silversmiths are unhappy about it, but the long and the short of it is that it is simply impossible to sell jewelry at the prices of a few years ago and still make a profit. please also keep in mind that you are not paying for the raw cost of the silver, you’re also paying for all the overhead (studio time, tools, packaging, market fees, rent, food, transportation) that goes into the jewelry.
it’s totally fine if a piece isn’t in your budget. jewelry is not a necessity. But it does feel kind of bad as an artisan (after doing a shitload of math to make sure I’m setting things at a price that’s fair to myself, my customers, and other artists) when someone does a whole gasp double-take routine looking at my price tag. :( like sir I promise I’m so very close to selling this at a loss, I have spent much more money on this business than I’ve made
This is a thing I am definitely feeling this year.
Like the price of silver has gone up roughly $10/oz in just the last 2 months. That is A LOT.
So what youre saying is we should support small businesses now more than ever? Without being a jerk about the fact that skilled craft costs money?
Alya: One of the battles that we picked was stopping Adrien and Marinette running plastic tubes all over the apartment and placing hamsters inside of them.
Me: Fuck, the paper towels I want are on the top shelf.

At some point will I be banned for the crime of becoming a girl. Then wimdy shall be no more.
@voidmenace thank you! I forget to mention it much. I have been a girl for 17 months now, it’s the best and most clearly correct decision I have ever made.
I really need a feminised edit of Wimdy Fox but… I don’t think foxes have any visible secondary sex characteristics. Hmm.
“Your son will take your throne from you,” they prophesized, spitting each word out of teeth clenched tight with hatred. Why they’d bother prophesizing such an event befuddles you; your son is literally your chosen heir, after all.
I wave my hand a little as I speak to my son “now listen okay. Obviously your going to be king. But! I don’t want you to be fuckin around with failed prophecys, hell I don’t want to screw with that. Wizards are weird and bitter. So here’s what we’re gonna do okay, on your eighteenth birthday, your going to to over throw me and "take” the crown, Ill train you more rigourlsy in swordsmanship so we can have a dramatic battle"
My son sighs, resigned and long suffering “dad I don’t think we have to do all that. Wouldn’t me just…. taking the crown out of your hands count?”
I shake my hand and wave him away “nonono I won’t risk I heard of a man that went through something similar and he got turned inside out. Still alive, just having a terrible time. That’s not the kind of life I want for my son, I won’t risk it. Besides, don’t you want to spar with your old man? Really give to me? You could brush up on your planning when it’s time for your coup!”
