I wonder if I can find anyone to do this.
If you receive, via Surprise Trade, the following:
Message me! I’d love to see where they end up!
I breed/catch and send these out in honor of a late friend of mine. Her name was Marissa, aka “Crow”. I’ve done this in past games with Wonder/Surprise Trade as long as Murkrow was in the ‘dex.
The ONLY ending I don’t want for Good Omens is Aziraphale and Crowley becoming human. I’ve seen the whole “Immortals become human” thing done before, and it always feels unsatisfying to me. After everything they’ve been through, they deserve more than a small handful of years of peace and happiness. Crowley deserves to be able to see his nebula grow to full maturity.

Ok, I NEED you to understand just how insane even ATTEMPTING this was for them.
1. Playing an instrument is difficult. Doing so in sync with others even more so. Don’t think I’m stepping on any toes saying that.
2. Dancing is difficult. Doing so in sync with others even more so. Still not controversial.
3. YOU AVOID, AT ALL COSTS, MOVING YOUR BODY WHILE PLAYING A WIND INSTRUMENT. To make the correct, pleasant sounds, you need to be in the correct form. And that form involves your ENTIRE body, even your legs when sitting down.
4. “oh, but I’ve seen marching bands before and-” MARCHING BANDS HAVE ENTIRE SCIENTIFIC FIELDS DEDICATED TO FIGURING OUT HOW TO MARCH WITH MINIMUM BREAKING OF PROPER FORM. A marching band tries to be as smooth as possible while moving, so as not to jar their instrument, mouth, neck, arms, torso, or anything else.These ladies and gentlemen are BOUNCING and still playing properly, what the FU-!
5. AND ANOTHER THING! Wind instruments and dancing BOTH make demands on your breathing, so the fact that they are dancing (making you breath faster for extra oxygen) AND playing wind instruments (making you effectively hold your breath) AT THE SAME TIME is HUGE. Their lungs must be MASSIVE.
All of that also; the song is Sing, sing, sing (with a swing). If you wanna listen to some of THE SPICIEST big band ever recorded. Its a big hard song and this band does it expertly.
bye i love this
Man: Siri, what is 1 trillion to the tenth power?
Siri: Calculation. The answer is one zero zero zero zero zero [continuing]
Man: *starts beatboxing to the rhythm.
Woman 1: *joins in*
Woman 2: *starts singing to the rhythm*
This is sO GOOD
never gets old
I could listen to this on loop for hours.
A correct to the transcript:
The man is beat boxing. The first woman joined in with jathiswaram. The second woman starts alap/alapanai.
So my sister wants to start sewing more, because
a. She’s 5′ 11″ and can never find pants long enough for her legs or shirts long enough for her arms.
b. She hates synthetic fibers as much as I do and it’s difficult to find natural fiber clothes that aren’t made of cotton
c. She’s a biologist and would physically fistfight microplastics if given half a chance
So her gift from mom and dad for her birthday was a sewing machine. Not a super expensive one but a good solid serviceable one.
And recently she asked “So where do I GET wool or linen and thread that isn’t polyester” and mom was like ‘go ask your sister’
And I, of course, crashed into the group text like “GET A PEN I HAVE WEBSITES FOR U” and honestly I’m thrilled about this
“Where did u get all this”
“Bets, u know I’m a 15th degree blackbelt of buying shit on the internet”
“oh yeah tru”

I hate that planned obsolescence is starting to reach fandoms. I hate that fandoms are starting to die after two, three years, I hate that whenever you stop getting content that means the fandom will die and be gone.
I need people to stop trying to brush off old interests as being 'cringe' as soon as you lose interest, or worse: make it seem like it's imoral to like something that they themselves held so dear before.
Fandoms are meant to last for years and years, the moment content stops being created is the moment we truly thrive because we keep creating the content ourselves the way we love it and expand on the things that are already there for us.
I don't care if you lost interest on something, it's fine and normal even, but stop trying to blame and make fun of people who still do love the fandom and the content and the things we can create.
I need people to enjoy fandom again
i saw some thread on xitter with some dude asking why drag queens "want to be around children so much" re: story hours and all the replies were either predictably disgusting or very defensive but not a single goddamn one of them answered the question so i will help in case anyone ever asks you this incredibly stupid question: they are clowns!! drag queens are just clowns!! they put on extremely silly makeup and huge wigs and bright clothes and do over-the-top performances that make people laugh and smile and sometimes cry. that is the definition of a clown. they like to perform for children because they are a type of clown and children are great audiences and it is not any deeper than that. god damn.
Why shouldn’t adults want to be around children and do fun things like read them stories?
People should be asking themselves that first.
This weird hysterical paranoia we’ve all more or less bought into where it’s WEIRD to get excited when a small human is delightedly happy about something is… it just sucks.
Kids are great. Hanging out with them is great. If you think the only reason a grown human would do so is sexual… what thing in your life went so wrong that you think that?
like, just think about what you want for "reading to children"
bright colors, interesting costumes, visual appeal, lots of enunciation and emphasis and lots of variability in tone and delivery. you want someone who is ACTING the text, not just reading it in a monotone.
if you are trying to think of people who would be good at reading stories to children and you don't think of drag queens, you are bad at connecting requirements to possible implementations.
“unalive myself” “grippy socks visit to the hospital” “corn addicts” talk like a fucking grown up. seriously.
"Gen z slang came about by cowtowing to algorithms made by large corporations and ad execs, that is SO PUNK compared to millenial slang which is about being individually unique."
Modern "punks" have no idea what punk stands for. In other, more surprising news, water is wet. More on this at 11.
Seriously though, kids these days are so eager to lick boot and call it rebellion. If you say unalive instead of kill because you'll lose your funding, congratz, you let them censor you. "They'lltake away our revenue!" And? Rebellion comes with consequences, change is a fight, protecting your values comes at a cost.
If you never pull at the leash, it doesn't matter how much you bark, you're still going where they want you to.
That was fast
Maybe, maybe, how quick they have taken it down has to do with them realizing that the office of the fucking legal team of the city of San Francisco is ACROSS THE STREET from Twitter HQ
Seriously.
How.
Every.
Fucking.
Thing.
About.
Musk.
Can.
Be.
So.
Dumb.
Holy shit.
I would like to point out, someone had a serious seizure set off by that thing and was sent to hospital because of it. It wasn't just "obnoxious" it was downright deadly.

Hello, this is Ellie's girlfriend. To be even be typing this upsets me. In the early hours this morning, Ellie's epilepsy was triggered by the new X advertising, which has left her fighting for her life. A brand isn't worth someone fighting for there life for. #DodgeTheEx ]
Confirmed: the stunt with the dangerously-bright X logo and its strobe effect predictably caused physical harm. This is exactly why strobe lights need to be removed completely from the public sphere, and why 100% informed consent should be the bare minimum requirement for the use of strobe lights.
Strobe lights have their time and place, and a public street is NEVER that time nor place.

I had to redact one of my photos since tumblr staff lied about nudity being allowed in art apparently
This is a nice video showing an blind/invisible stitch, which is quite useful for repairing tears or finishing something (ex. cushion).
Also, that extra step for putting back the seam is really nice.
This is basically what my physical therapist had me do for my back problems last year and it helped with the pain so much! Also walk for at least thirty minutes a day, even if it's just in small chunks throughout the day.
