it's fucked up that most people in the anglosphere know Shinzo Abe as the funny birthrates meme guy, and not as an ultraconservative genocide denier warhawk

Throughout all of history, mankind has never created a more precise measuring tool than the infallible "eyeballin' it."

I had a dream that unless the teacher told us class was over, we were forbidden from going out the door. Our teacher was very forgetful, and maybe even malicious. After being forced to stay past sunset many days, my class decided we were going to break out every night. Eventually our attempts led us to discovering rifts in space-time where we could warp. So we never used the door. Checkmate.

plenty of people have said this better than I will but I love it (read: it's very annoying) when people suggest turning a craft hobby into a side business. There is no succinct way to explain to non-crafters, in a casual conversation, that for high-quality handmade goods, the amount of physical labor required already puts the cost of those goods far beyond what regular people would be willing or able to pay for those items. the cost of materials alone is sometimes more than what people would be willing to pay. not to mention the labor required to market yourself, especially if it's a fairly niche thing.
I told a friend about the horseshoe crab backpack I'm making and he made this comment about turning it into a side business. and. I know it's intended to be encouraging and supportive, but like.
Tumblr media
Including materials, and given a very optimistic assumption that I will finish this project in another ~3 hours of work,
Charging at the federal minimum hourly wage of $7.25 for my labor, this backpack would cost approximately $203.
Charging at the somewhat more "acceptable" $15 hourly wage, it would cost $395.
Charging at $25/hr for a wage that actually values my labor beyond simple survival, it would cost $615 or more.
I'm not going to finish it in another 3 hours. And I am undeniably an amateur– the finished product isn't going to be perfect and crisp the way something "should" be to cost that much, so it won't be "worth" the amount it's technically worth.
Projects like this that I do for fun I am absolutely willing to replicate for close friends at a significantly lower price as a "gift" (asking for cost of materials and/or only a partial cost of labor). But there's no reasonable way to actually monetize a hobby like this.
Anyway, look at my crab.

White sharks are washing up dead in South Australia.
Read that again.
White sharks are washing up dead in South Australia.
This is because the temperature of the ocean has risen, causing an algae bloom to over take the water, smothering their gills and suffocating them.
The temperature has risen.
This algae bloom has caused an ecological catastrophe. It’s a dead zone for all gilled life forms. When it dies it will smoother the aquatic life.
White sharks are washing up dead.

Thinking about how in Gideon's narration she employs 206 anatomical names for bones but Harrow doesn't know the difference between a hilt and a pommel. Something something cavaliers being expected to respect/understand/integrate into necromancy while necromancers are not expected to do the same for caveliership. Is this anything.

randomly staring at this pic of dedra’s apartment and then it hits me that no one is living here anymore.
there used to be a person living here. then it became 2 people building their lives together. at some point there were even 3 people having a meal here. then it was back to 1 person, and now everyone’s gone.

I don't care what you say, this is canon.
Syril wanted to take a picture of Dedra to have it in Ghorman.
Syril: Dedra?
Dedra: *turns around*
Syril: *takes a picture*
Dedra: What was that?
Syril: Now it's a picture of you *shows it to her*
Dedra: *tilts her head* Why?
Syril: So you will be with me on Ghorman no matter what.
Dedra: The ISB one isn't enough?
Syril: No, actually. I wanted to have you like this, the way you are only at home.
Dedra: *stares at him for a good minute* Maybe we should take one where I don't look like I want to kill you.
