Shoutout to the girls (gn) who used to have amazing working memory and now regularly forget basic words.

Extra kudos if this is you and you're a writer.

“One of the most solid pieces of writing advice I know is in fact intended for dancers – you can find it in the choreographer Martha Graham’s biography. But it relaxes me in front of my laptop the same way I imagine it might induce a young dancer to breathe deeply and wiggle their fingers and toes. Graham writes: ‘There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.’”

a special day for the bday boy 😌✨

Yep.

Only reason why I manage to be good at my administrative job is because of the calendar. I set so many reminders to myself in the forms of events to cope with my brain that my calendars look like Christmas trees.

What frustrates me with being an "out of sight, out of mind" person is that people tend to love suggesting notepads, diaries, apps, lists, anything that you can write reminders in. But my kind of "out of sight, out of mind" extends to that as well. Truly. If it is not in my sight, it is not in my mind. And you know what happens when you close a book or an app? It is not longer in sight.

Ah, I see we've circled back to the classical...

I PRESENT TO THEE, A MAN

the default way for things to taste is good. we know this because "tasty" means something tastes good. conversely, from the words "smelly" and "noisy" we can conclude that the default way for things to smell and sound is bad. interestingly there are no corresponding adjectives for the senses of sight and touch. the inescapable conclusion is that the most ordinary object possible is invisible and intangible, produces a hideous cacophony, smells terrible, but tastes delicious. and yet this description matches no object or phenomenon known to science or human experience. so what the fuck

As a person with an English degree, I can confirm. We really have such a potential of becoming insufferably obnoxious that it's a wonder we kept any friends.

everyone talks about how arrogant business majors and engineers are but nobody talks about the insufferable hubris and arrogance of people with english degrees

🕊️ good omens drabbles for eSims

eSims for Gaza is facing constant eSim shortages, and has asked that people spread the donation information to their communities and urge people to contribute however they can. i know i'm in a place of privilege to be writing at all, let alone writing biblical stories set in an area that is currently undergoing an active genocide by an invading regime. so:

for the entirety of hdwtotl's runtime, if you message/send me an ask with proof that you've bought an eSim that same day, i will write you a 668 word good omens drabble of any prompt you'd like.

donation of equivalent or greater value to any palestinian-verified organization or gofundme also applies. make sure to follow the instructions found in the qr code below when purchasing an eSim. when you send your screenshot you can block out personal identifying information, all i need is proof that it was purchased that same day. as for the drabble, aziraphale/crowley pairings only (if you'd like romance), all ratings welcome, and the only stipulation is no death/gore/hard kink. hdwtotl-related prompts also welcomed. i will privately respond to your ask once the drabble is complete and posted to ao3, since it will have to be sent off of anon to include the screenshot proof.

all drabbles will be tracked and published to this drabble collection on ao3. there is no promised turnaround time, but the drabble itself is guaranteed. please let me know in your ask if you'd like to be tagged/remain anonymous/who to associate the prompt with.

reblogs encouraged!

I got this tattoo from Kati Green at Blue Ox tattoo yesterday.

It is a list, so that the notes I’m always writing on my arm are organized and pretty.

It is also a ruler. The lines are spaced at 1/2 inch, with the dots on the right showing 1/4 in and the ones on the left showing 1 cm. The compass rose is an angle finder.

The flowers are my favorite ones from my grandma’s garden when I was growing up. Gravenstein apple blossoms, marigolds, and wisteria.

I love it and am so excited for when it is heal enough to safely use.
