i do not ghost purposely i just have no idea what to say ever
Villains in Addams Family movies go to really unnecessary lengths to defraud them of the family fortune. These people just give it away on whims all the time. If I just walked into the house and started wearing their clothes and spending their money, they wold start introducing me as Cousin Intruder and forget there was ever a time I didn’t live with them.
There’s a whole plotline in the Addams Family Musical where Morticia and Gomez realize at the same time they each thought Grandmama was the other one’s parent and no one knows who the hell she is, and literally nothing changes because, well, she’s Grandmama now.

Gomez’s life’s ambition is to be a failed investor, just walk up to him and say “I’ve got this crazy idea, it’ll probably never work, but I need 5 million dollars to try” and he’ll just shout “brilliant!” Then sword fight you and give you the money
And because it’s Gomez whatever you do with the money will end up outrageously profitable
i find it impossibly funny that this is the canon reason for the adam family fortune. gomez desperately wants to be a failed investor and lose it all, but every single unhinged thing he throws money at *somehow* ends up becoming wildly successful
My bf got this dye chart with local plants at an art thrift store! 🍂
"solarpunk isn't punk because it has nothing to do with rebellion" maybe you aren't doing it right then.
Do any other hopepunks daydream about retrofitting old malls into city centers and museums and trade/craft hangouts/classes or aquariums or places where makers can share wares or schools or entertainment parks or libraries or
We did a lot of zero waste stuff today cooking Sunday dinner! We peeled carrots and the peelings/ends went into the stock bag except a few tops, those went into old oui jars with a little water to sprout for some fresh salad greens since it's winter, we rinsed our vegetables in bowls of water which we used to water house plants, saved the leftover broth from a roast for turning the leftovers into stew tomorrow as well as some in jars in the freezer for rice/noodles in the future. The real highlight was the potato skin chips! They take way longer than the recommended twenty minutes but we also peel with knives so there was a lot of potato left on the skins. They turned out delicious though! And reheatable, just toss in the oven at 425 for a few minutes, we did it for 7.
sorry this is by and far the funniest way to announce you’ve lost a leopard
For the record Nova is a clouded leopard, not an African one. They weigh about 30 pounds and are not very aggressive or considered a serious danger to humans. Probably best known by this meme:
also they found her because a squirrel was chattering angrily about her being in the tree. i just think that’s really funny.
Guess who is going to be a librarian instead of a bookseller!
“Books are too expensive” -> GET A LIBRARY CARD!!!
“E-books are too expensive” -> GET A LIBRARY CARD!!!
“Audiobooks are too expensive” -> GET A LIBRARY CARD!!!
“Video games are too expensive” -> GET A LIBRARY CARD!!!
“Subscriptions to magazines/newspapers are too expensive” -> GET A LIBRARY CARD!!!
For real, get a library card for your local public library and you will have almost unlimited access to all kinds of media for free. Libraries also often have many different kinds of classes you can take, often for free or very cheap. Oh, and don’t forget the computers and internet access you can also use for free.
In conclusion, yet a library card.
SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL PUBLIC LIBRARY!!!
Don’t forget movies, internet, zoo tickets, etc. we also have fun kits for old people.
At my library you can even check out musical instruments.
what I really like about Pratchett's work among all the other things, is that he basically opens all his books with exposure and "here is an immuable, very eternal law upon which the world is built" and then he spends the rest of the book trampling on that law
"it is impossible for a woman to be a wizard, so we're going to follow this wizard girl's journey"
"dragons are gone forever and dormant, here be no dragons. say hi to this one lady dragon tho"
"nobody can resist elves. that's why Magrat is going to deck their queen in the face"
"everyone knows women can't fight"
"everyone knows golems don't have souls. they all have names and personalities and-"
"all dwarves are men. then they were introduced to gender"
"Death is eternal and unchanging. Let's see what happens when he goes through all major human development stages in reverse starting with his retirement"
All in all "here's this thing everyone knows is true, here's why it's bullshit, here's how untrue it is, and here's how nobody is going to learn a lesson from being shown that this law of nature is bullshit. We all know people never learn right. or do they"
And he mostly wrote those openings last of all. He'd write the book to find out what it was about and then wrote the openings when he was done with the first draft.
MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING - 2019 Free Shakespeare in the Park
I am not joking when I say that this version is Shakespeare as it was meant to be performed. It is fucking hilarious.
OMG, how did I not know about this?
