In my hubris I didn't realize that in going to this funeral, a bunch of my mom's family friends would be there and they would have Questions about what I'm doing with my life

itty bitty comic that took me WAYYY longer than i expected :'] i was trying to test the viability of this medium for sequential art and the answer is Yes it kind of works but Only if you have both a ton of patience and time on your hands. i think this turned out kinda swag for a first attempt!

anyways this was going to be the beginning of a short story but now i've moved and. no longer live in the forest anymore kjfdksj so might have to rethink it slightly

"As excited as I am to have everyone see Kathy Bates deliver another incredible performance, I'm excited for people to be introduced- who don't already know how incredible Skye is." (x)

Since we're doing modern AUs....

Bored accountant Baoxiang trying to sleep his way to a promotion/raise by hooking up with Ayushiridara, who works there in some coveted position bc his mom is the CEO?

(not sure if Ayushiridara even has that kind of power over HR decisions)

(but Baoxiang can still try)

Fields of Mistria's OST is such a banger that I can't stop looping the mine adventuring music

Crazy thing is-- Normally I hate mining portions in Farming/Town/Village Life games like this, like I did not really enjoy whenever I had to go sink some time into the mines in Stardew Valley

But Fields of Mistria? I'm ready to eat roasted cauliflower, beat up hostile ores, and get so much treasure and artifacts

is it just me or has advertising become more insane recently

[asinglesock]

survived my perilous journey (walked two blocks in the dark to shower at my sister's not-yet-entirely liveable apartment because our plumbing is having issues)

[cherriesandpomegranates]

I can't believe I walked into my first (ish) day of work at a new part time job today and basically said "why are you all so white" 💀💀💀

There's capitalism happening on my dash

Truly a tragedy :(

Also more real life commentary this is why we Need Writers btw

Why we need people who are Trained In Writing to Write

There is such a difference between writing and writing

SSE's writing is primarily bad because it's written by people who do not write, the reason why Helena's version of the story is so good is because Helena writes. She's an author. She understands narrative, and character, and what goes into a story. From what I can tell most of SSE's writing team. Are legitimately just devs who are put on writing duty for the week. And it shows. None of these people Write.

(And also why you should support people in the profession because it is an incredibly undervalued skill in all forms of media and yes that is to say if you complain about the writers strikes happening in America right now you're fucking dumb)

Things academics say at the end of the semester

In honour of the student who came by my office saying how lucky people working in academia are to just come to work whenever and that he's jealous of us living such a relaxed life <3

"I've got two weeks off now, but you'll still see me in the office. I'll be around. I'll probably see you tomorrow."

"Finally it's the weekend! Have you got anything planned?" - "Well, it's the weekend, not a day off, you know? I'll be writing that paper."

"I'm thinking about moving closer to university just so I can spend less time commuting and more time working. It would we so great not to have to drive for half an hour when I leave the office at 10pm. I could even go home for some dinner and then go back to the office! Can you imagine the luxury?"

"I'm in a wellness hotel with a friend right now over the weekend. Feels so good to work on my dissertation in the hotel lobby after a little trip to the sauna."

"I'm taking that terrible student's term paper home with me to read it during my vacation. Probably a good idea to only expose myself to the rage I will undoubtedly feel in smaller doses."

"I'm so glad the semester is over and I don't have to teach anymore. Now I can finally work on something that I actually get paid for!"

"I'm currently at an average of 10 hours of overtime per week, but if I take a week off now, I won't be able to finish my PhD by next year! I don't have time for a break! Maybe I'll ask for two long weekends or something. That has to be enough."

"I don't like having days off. I don't know what to do with myself anymore. I keep trying to remember what I used to do for fun before the PhD, but I honestly don't know anymore. Some weekends, I have to actively stop myself from driving to the office just because I'm so freaking bored."
