ive been learning how to play cribbage

[ID. A four panel comic of a Raven and a Leopard Gecko playing Crib while a Rabbit sews on a nearby armchair. It starts with Raven counting, "Ok, I've got.... 15 for two, 15 for four..." Leopard Gecko prompts, "And?" and Raven replies, on a close up of their hands, "Um... Oh! And I have the right Jack! Five!" Rabbit pipes up from their chair, "One for his knob!" and Leopard Gecko scowls, "ugh." The last panel, shows Raven on a pink background as they giggle, "One for [underlined] her knob. #Feminism." End ID.]

newbie fic authors, shooting themselves in the foot: This fic is bad haha I suck at writing lol I am being mean to myself in the hopes that you will be nice to me but actually am dissuading anyone from even clicking on my fic because all I have done to advertise it is tell you why you shouldn't read it

me: I am King Big Dick of Fanfic Mountain and I have arrived in your fandom with the Express Intention of writing my Very Favorite Fics, which I will generously allow you to read. You're welcome.

If a worker who isn't the owner says ANYTHING similar to "I'm not really supposed to do this but-" and then does something that helps you, under no circumstances inform the business, including through reviews. You tell them that the worker was polite, professional, the very model of customer service and why you like to go there. You do not breathe a word of the rulebreaking.

I hate when people try to be some kinda funnyman in response to powerful art. Maybe you should just earnestly feel things once in a while, babe.

Oh, and adding to this…I also hate when people try to be some kinda funnyman in response to art that was earnestly done but maybe fell short of what it was trying to do or had a certain naivety to it…maybe you should just earnestly try to make things once in a while, babe.

THE NEW YORK TIMES instructed journalists covering Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip to restrict the use of the terms “genocide” and “ethnic cleansing” and to “avoid” using the phrase “occupied territory” when describing Palestinian land, according to a copy of an internal memo obtained by The Intercept. The memo also instructs reporters not to use the word Palestine “except in very rare cases” and to steer clear of the term “refugee camps” to describe areas of Gaza historically settled by displaced Palestinians expelled from other parts of Palestine during previous Israeli–Arab wars. The areas are recognized by the United Nations as refugee camps and house hundreds of thousands of registered refugees.
The Times memo outlines guidance on a range of phrases and terms. “The nature of the conflict has led to inflammatory language and incendiary accusations on all sides. We should be very cautious about using such language, even in quotations. Our goal is to provide clear, accurate information, and heated language can often obscure rather than clarify the fact,” the memo says. “Words like ‘slaughter,’ ‘massacre’ and ‘carnage’ often convey more emotion than information. Think hard before using them in our own voice,” according to the memo. “Can we articulate why we are applying those words to one particular situation and not another? As always, we should focus on clarity and precision — describe what happened rather than using a label.” Despite the memo’s framing as an effort to not employ incendiary language to describe killings “on all sides,” in the Times reporting on the Gaza war, such language has been used repeatedly to describe attacks against Israelis by Palestinians and almost never in the case of Israel’s large-scale killing of Palestinians.

consider: hermit oli theorionsound, but he only ever appears in joe hills videos

nobody knows for certain whether he’s even on the server or not, the banners never updated with him on it, there’s no actual evidence of him being on the server, he just keeps appearing in joe hills vids and nowhere else

until, on the final day of the server, oli finally uploads a video onto his channel:

“day 1 on hermitcraft”

as an autistic jew, passover is objectively the best holiday because it’s a dinner party with a script that everyone has to follow

as another autistic jew, passover is objectively the worst holiday because i can’t eat any of my normal foods and that’s horrible

As a 3rd autistic jew, I agree with both, but *Also* passover is the best holiday because as long as I can reapply a special interest to the pesach story I can talk about it whenever

But its the Worst holiday because there is mandatory cleaning with a deadline before

As a 4th autistic jew I think there are merits to many of these points but wanted to bring up that the food is basically the same every year, which is really nice and predictable

But passover also sucks because you’re expected to read with people watching you

dear the long-suffering Pearlescentmoon fandom trying to find fics that are actually about Pearl:

  • go onto advanced search
  • go to character tag and enter Pearl's character tag
  • go to "any field"
  • then type "summary: Pearl"
  • hit enter
  • you now only have fics with Pearl in the summary of the fic
  • profit

Hey, just for reference-

If you sort by best match descending, it'll start with fics which have summaries with the most amount of the word your searching for.

I got slightly jumpscared here XD
