Today's advice from your Goth Auntie

  • Big stretch! Have a snack, water, and your meds.
  • You will become your weirdest, truest self. Keep working toward that.
  • The Thing In The Wall's writing process involves whispering "spooooky" over and over. Makes sense.

I think it's so funny when someone says "this is probably tmi" bitch, I do not care. You can tell me the most unhinged shit unapologetically. I live for it, let's go.

forever rolling my eyes at joke posts that focus on the nsfw ban on tumblr solely from a pov of ‘we want to be able to see dicks on demand!!! bring back porn!!!” with no actual meaningful discussion on providing a safe haven for sex workers to once again promote their work and support themselves, especially as the situation becomes more and more dire each day as additional social media sites fall

Today, one of my second graders was working on shape name recognition, and we got to this picture of a pyramid shape with a wide-ish base. When he saw it, his eyes lit up and he turned to me with a huge grin on his face, pointed at it, and said "When the teacher forgets to assign homework" before bursting out into hysterics, covering his mouth and giggling. I don't understand what happened except this kid CLEARLY knows about the strong comedic and memeable value of mathematical shapes and emotions that I, an old millennial, cannot comprehend I did, however, try to recreate this moment as the meme this child must have seen in his head

maybe he was thinking of the dancing triangle meme??

i have seen this gif with that exact caption before. this is absolutely the one he was thinking of

That kid saw one of the simplest geometric shapes and said that's blorbo from my memes 👍

He believed it in 2017. Funny how things change.

But Trump has never “followed the rules.”  He’s SPECIAL.  At least that’s what he believes.  The rules just don’t apply to him.  Fingers crossed JACK SMITH will make sure Trump gets his full dose of THE RULES forever.

My boss is having us all pitch in to do office work while we're understaffed for the spring season, but instead of doling out orders she asked us what responsibilities we'd like to have, enjoy having, or be comfortable doing. It means getting more hours, which I'm kind of desperate for these days.

So I said I'd do anything that involves design (making info cards for clients, designing yearbooks, cropping photos). And she said cool. Done. You get those things, I'll let you know when we need them.

Time came last week where she needed me to do 15 separate info card designs, each with it's own qr code to the gallery, unique passcode, and I had to make it look cute but readable.

It took me about 5 hours. I came up to her desk at the end of the day with a thumb drive. She asked me how they were coming.

"This is them." I handed her the usb.

"You're done already?"

"Yeah."

"How did you do them so fast?"

"You asked me to do a task that plays on my strengths and that I enjoy doing. This is what happens when you put people in roles that suit them."

"If I'd tried to do it, it would have taken three days!"

I have a degree in a design discipline that emphasizes completing a large number of nearly identical drawings very quickly, and my side hustle requires me to be my own PR team. Making a bunch of quarter-page flyers out of clip art is something I've had to do for free and yall just paid me to do it.

This is a really poignant illustration of the seductive nature of glorifying war but that is a LOOK and she is SERVING it

Can not put unto words how hard the "I know your daddy" hits, considering this is from 1936 specifically.

Just a reminder anyone who says Nazis were socialists doesn't what socialism is and it's a right wing talking point to exploit people's ignorance and manipulate it into fear of the left. Nazis were right wing extremists. That's why the right spends so much time trying to spread this lie.
