Behold the compressed result of my painstakingly-compiled spreadsheet of entity instances across all 200 episodes of the magnus archives

[kenobihater]

of all the star wars movies, which of them do y'all 1) enjoy the most 2) consider the best quality and 3) think you've rewatched the most. add your answers in the reblogs or replies, i'm genuinely curious how much of an overlap there is within everyone's three answers. mine don't overlap at all! they're revenge of the sith, empire strikes back, and the force awakens :^)

I just read Dalliance and it was SO GOOD!!!! Do you have plans to update it soon or is it more on the back burner? No worries if you don’t have plans to update it- I know you’re working on other things and I will happily read whatever you write!! (Also just read Changing Currents and it was FANTASTIC)

I'm so glad you're enjoying it so far! I have quite a few WIPs at the moment so I'm not sure when Dalliance will be updated next, it and Changing Currents are currently my beefiest projects and I've been having to cut back writing time for my two jobs. But rest assured, I have Big Plans for Dalliance once I have the time to get back to it!

me: there were less than 30 students in the room

them: not true, there were only 12 students

i have some news about the relation between 12 and 30 that might shock and surprise you

If Shiloh was designed to be as much Jessie's type as possible, what kind of character would have Jessie as the most Their Type

This question is haunting me. Probably a nerd, because it would take the edge off Jessie's geek energy and the fact that she hates drugs. Someone who is anxious or shy enough to see her anger issues and attitude as cool. Probably not femme and not a raging dyke butch either bc the more invested you get into the gender stuff the more probable it is that Jessie's height matters and not in a good way. Probably a clown with a mean humor streak and really into stupidity, so at least a little smart. Clearly not smart enough to steer clear of Jessie, though--

Dear God please don’t let my period coincide with my first day at my new job…..

[theabstruseone]

I slept in and just woke up, so here's what I've been able to figure out while sipping coffee:

Twitter has officially rebranded to X just a day or two after the move was announced.

The official branding is that a tweet is now called "an X", for which there are too many jokes to make.

The official account is still @twitter because someone else owns @X and they didn't reclaim the username first.

The logo is 𝕏 which is the Unicode character Unicode U+1D54F so the logo cannot be copyrighted and it is highly likely that it cannot be protected as a trademark.

Outside the visual logo, the trademark for the use of the name "X" in social media is held by Meta/Facebook, while the trademark for "X" in finance/commerce is owned by Microsoft.

The rebranding has been stopped in Japan as the term "X Japan" is trademarked by the band X JAPAN.

Elon had workers taking down the "Twitter" name from the side of the building. He did not have any permits to do this. The building owner called the cops who stopped the crew midway through so the sign just says "er".

He still plans to call his streaming and media hosting branch of the company as "Xvideo". Nobody tell him.

This man wants you to give him control over all of your financial information.

Edit to add further developments:

Yes, this is all real. Check the notes and people have pictures. I understand the skepticism because it feels like a joke, but to the best of my knowledge, everything in the above is accurate.

Microsoft also owns the trademark on X for chatting and gaming because, y'know, X-box.

The logo came from a random podcaster who tweeted it at Musk.

The act of sending a tweet is now known as "Xeet". They even added a guide for how to Xeet.

The branding change is inconsistent. Some icons have changed, some have not, and the words "tweet" and "Twitter" are still all over the place on the site.

TweetDeck is currently unaffected and I hope it's because they forgot that it exists again. The complete negligence toward that tool and just leaving it the hell alone is the only thing that makes the site usable (and some of us are stuck on there for work).

This is likely because Musk was forced out of PayPal due to a failed credit line project and because he wanted to rename the site to "X-Paypal" and eventually just to "X".

This became a big deal behind the scenes as Musk paid over $1 million for the domain X.com and wanted to rebrand the company that already had the brand awareness people were using it as a verb to "pay online" (as in "I'll paypal you the money")

X.com is not currently owned by Musk. It is held by a domain registrar (I believe GoDaddy but I'm not entirely sure). Meaning as long as he's hung onto this idea of making X Corp a thing, he couldn't be arsed to pay the $15/year domain renewal.

Bloomberg estimates the rebranding wiped between $4 to $20 billion from the valuation of Twitter due to the loss of brand awareness.

The company was already worth less than half of the $44 billion Musk paid for it in the first place, meaning this may end up a worse deal than when Yahoo bought Tumblr.

One estimation (though this is with a grain of salt) said that Twitter is three months from defaulting on its loans taken out to buy the site. Those loans were secured with Tesla stock. Meaning the bank will seize that stock and, since it won't be enough to pay the debt (since it's worth around 50-75% of what it was at the time of the loan), they can start seizing personal assets of Elon Musk including the Twitter company itself and his interest in SpaceX.

Sesame Street's official accounts mocked the rebranding.

I might be on a very small dose of chill pill (metaphorical),

But I do know that all the shit happening online and offline is really fucking disorienting.

(We were just conditioned and coddled to take it as ‘usual.’)

And all we can do is try to remember to take one steady step before the next.

Maybe one day I’ll be brave (and time-responsible) enough to do more,

Whether on this blog or elsewhere,

Dare to do something more than take care of myself (already an easier task for me than most).

Maybe the day will come when we make a budge big enough for everyone to push everyone further,

Further than we thought we could.

We were blessed with the minds and bodies and souls we have.

We were blessed with whatever amount of time we have (left).

I sincerely wish everyone ease and courage

To use them a little more than we thought we could.
