This needs to become a new reaction image.

I can't be the first one to think this, right? Someone has to have said it already.

The Adrian Dittmann Story

all the evidence and methodology from A to Z by ryan fae and me

She discovers that the house has been beset by salamanders. But in addition, there is a tradition of a shadowy drowned figure, who tears down curtains and who chills warm food even as the plate reaches the table.

Superman: Red And Blue #05

some of y'all need to learn how to accept hospitality. stop assuming people are only offering to look after you out of twisted obligation that they don't actually want to do. when you assume that, you are often denying someone the opportunity to genuinely show a friend or stranger love. even if you don't really care about what they're offering, it's respectful of their desire to be kind to accept it anyways.

i had a bunch of girls i've never met over for a women's group. every single one of them denied my offer to make them tea (despite already making myself a mug anyways), get them water, a scone, etc.

i can tell when people refuse to let me be a good host because they "don't want to be a bother". like no!! please be a bother!!! i want to serve you and make you comfortable in my home!

not to be like "we live in a society" but really do live in a modern culture than emphasizes individualism to the point where people will reflexively deny any help or kindness from others for fear of treading on their independence. newsflash: dependence on each other is what makes a community. next time someone offers you kindness, accept it instead of making excuses for why you don't need it. otherwise you've robbed both yourself of being loved and someone else from showing love.

It would be funny if nuclear waste warning messages become an attraction for future historical linguists.

I mean look at this thing:

A parallel text in 7 languages, with 4 different scripts between them! And pictograms! All designed to be preserved intact!

So while I was getting my haircut, the lady asked me if I had other plans for the day and I said:

“I’m just going to pick up the boy from daycare and then it’s date night.”

And the lady says “Oh! How old is he?”

“He’s three.”

“Mine too! Where are you registering him for kindergarten it’s such a hassle-”

And that’s when I realized I said “boy” and not “dog” because I always think of Charlie as “good boy” but this slip up has lead to a miscommunication.

The lady is now 6 minutes into a clearly needed rant about how unnecessarily complex shopping for schools is, esp when you have a neurodivergent child, so I can’t just tell her that Charlie is a dog because then she’ll feel awkward for unloading on me and she clearly has enough going on.

So the rest of the haircut became a game of “how much can I say about Charlie without revealing that he is not a human child?” And the answer is “enough to cover a half hour hair appointment, quite possibly several hours worth if I’m specific enough”

Please Get a Massive Live Soundboard Antique Out of My House

Hello all you musical folks, weird question. Do you or someone you know want a Mackie 32.8 8 Bus Recording/PA Console and associated power supply, with original boxes? Because I have one for opera house rummage sale reasons but it is simply too large for me to set up and also I don't record much anymore, much less something that requires this beast. The beast('s box, I'm not unpacking this thing for pictures unless someone is genuinely interested) and more details are below the cut.

Okay! Here's the box! Please pardon the bits of my spare room that are in the picture.

It was sold to me as still being in working order, just outdated, which, fair. It is a little piece of music history.

I am willing to negotiate the price! It's available elsewhere online without the box for $800, so that's where we'll start, but this is an OBO situation.

So what's the catch? Simple: it's very heavy, so either you need to live within driving distance of the middleish of Wisconsin and be able to come get it, or you need to be willing to pay shipping (I genuinely do not know how expensive that would be but it wouldn't be cheap).

If you are genuinely interested, please reblog this post with the tag "INTERESTED" and whether you'd want to pick it up or ship it and I'll share more details with you individually. I'd appreciate reblogs even if you're not interested so this gets more exposure!
