when a mutual posts a poll you know nothing about, but they say "orangutan johnson my beloved, orangutan johnson sweep!!!!" you vote for orangutan johhnson. it's called loyalty.

I hope I'm not just a mutual to you, but someone you want to bring up in irl conversation so you have to awkwardly and cryptically say "my friend..." and refuse to elaborate on my origins or the origins of our friendships

Dear God, I’m beyond grateful for how You’ve carried me day after day. Right here, right now, I’m pausing to soak in Your presence and the blessings You’ve poured out over my life. I need Your strength and wisdom to fill me up today, guiding every step I take and every word I speak by Your Spirit. Help me move through today with energy that only comes from You, tackling each task with fresh focus. Lift my spirit, help me trust You even more, and let this be a day where I walk in Your will. Amen.

I'm not friends with you because you serve a purpose to me, I'm friends with you because I just like you. That is to say, there is no one who can do what you do for me because what you do for me is just be you

First rule of dealing with people is: Understand that they’re a sinner and so are you. Have some humility.

Second rule of dealing with people is: Love your neighbor. Love your enemy. Get over yourself.

a good way to inspire yourself to do more is to see yourself as the wacky sitcom B plot character in your friends lives, "wouldnt it be funny to tell the friends in my phone about it." has gotten me to do anything from going to a festival (excelent) to wild camping (it went badly) (coastguard called) to trying to get the train to stonehenge (stonehenge costs money so i ended up just getting lunch in sailsbury, it was okay.) i bought a bicycle today and 20% of my reasoning was "itd be funny to surprise my roommate by coming home with a whole bike." . life is for living. and baby i live for the bit.

The old cliches are always true. Restraint is still your friend. A moment can be heart stopping, you still have to let it go. Sleep cures a number of ills. Nobody hates you. Sometimes it’s best not to look for trouble; sometimes that means—don’t look too deeply. The ride of life never stops but there are breaks. You can cry between the moments. You can trust that understanding will come in time and in the meantime, you can simply live without trying to understand. Fresh air and the smell of the earth after rain is always true.

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

if I had a nickel for every Star Wars fic I’ve posted today about someone recovering from canon events that has a title from the same poem (start here) I’d have two nickels. which is kind of weird.
