Bleach is great because when you tell people (through both oral and written communication) to include their slides in the slide deck, and that they should be able to copy/paste them directly in from either Google Slides or PPT—or, if they prefer, they can compose them directly in the group slides—and you still get multiple people emailing you with PDFs… of their slides… instead of thinking “I cannot fathom a reason on earth why you’d think this was the best way to do this” you can think
“Which shinigami definitely do it like this”
#sasakibe trying to add visual aids to the captain’s meetings and giving up after one shot#mayuri came with 47 slides#yachiru made the 11th’s so extrapolate from there#Byakuya actually paid for a slide theme but he used fonts that weren’t downloaded into sasakibe’s font library#komamura used a different slide transition for every slide#soi fon refused to submit any because she didn’t like the idea of her IP being easily circulated without her knowing#shinji used Prezi 💀#isane made unohana’s slides and they were perfect#Hitsugaya’s were—as he described them—‘fine’ but they drove home the fact that they could have just been an email actually and he had#a minor spiral about this#kyouraku’s ‘accidentally’ included promo for his new book (as serialized in the sc)#rukia made ukitake’s slides and they look identical to unohana’s because she and isane made them together#it would be more accurate to say that Renji and kiyone had a fair bit to do with these slide decks to be honest#which I guess mean’s rose’s were the fucking pdf!!#no brain just bleach#bleach headcanons#boring bleach larp

i finally deleted twitter! it sucks that i’ve lost that little corner of the fandom, but it didn’t make sense to maintain once it was in musk’s hands, so this was long overdue. i will always credit the skam fandom that i found over there back in 2017 for shaping me as a writer, as well as for inspiring me to travel. i know it was considered a toxic place for the fandom even back then, but it was a platform i grew up with and could communicate on, which meant i connected with some very lovely people. i was devastated when my original account was suspended back in like, 2021? because i had lost a lot of early writing and some friends who had moved on to other fandoms at that point. but i tried to take screenshots of what i had left. a lot of my links to twitter won’t work now, either, but that’s what you get when you depend on someone else as an archival tool.
anyway, a couple of years ago i was thinking about even’s notebook and that became these tweets below the cut. my shorter ideas might end up here now, or on bluesky.

Would most people realistically use 'carry' and 'convey' as synonyms in typical speech?? Seems a slightly reaching comparison to me lol
#Usually thesaurus.com's Synonym Of The Day is fine but every once in a while there areones like this#where looking at the initial email I'm like...?? i don't know?? none of them really????#Like out of the three options given without any additional context#I guess reading further I can kind of see where it comes from if you're using it in a less literal sense#like ''the poem carries sad tones through it's words'' > ''the poem conveys tones of sadness through its wording''#but thinking of the more everyday usage of the word carry and how most often you hear it. it seems initially like an odd comparison#to say Convey would be an actual known/commonly used synonym of it.#Which I do get it. theyve probably had to come up with thousands of these now. so sometimes you're probably stretching things a little#to make more absract connections lol. But it's just kind of funny sometimes when you open the#email and its like "which of these are a synonym of the word Dog? -- Mug. Amulet. or Orange Peel.'' and you're like ?????? none???#and then you click on it and it's like ''the third useage of the word 'dog' means to drink from a fountain. which is kind of like drinking#from a mug. um.. so yeah. :)'' and then I go okay :3 thesaurus dot com you could never make me hate you. sure. a dog is a mug. :3#Anyway... coming out of a full week of no posting on the internet just to reflect on an odd synonym of the day email lol.. I am like an#80 year old man who sits in his study all day ignoring everyone then will randomly come out sometimes to go 'ahhrmm.. take#a gander at this interesting crossword I've just found in the paper. strange right? .... ok. hmhpph. back to my library..'

my post on reddit about the newsletter got removed?? and i have no idea why???? it doesn't break any of the rules. it's relevant to otherkin, doesn't ask for any personal information or info at all. im so confused.
edit: i am just going to message the mods and try to be so normal and not annoying about clarification. i don't wanna be the annoying reddit user who cant comprehend the rules but like i cant comprehend the rules. and i want input augh !
#i dislike reddit for this exact reason#but like i want to at least see if its worth reaching out to them#i guess because it's about something other than the subreddit itself that it got removed#and also they probably don't like that i included the fact that it'd require an email#but like. pray tell.#how else do i do a digital newsletter.#you need an email to make a reddit account#but it wasn't a "''give me your email'' post it was a#''hey if i do this what sort of things do yall think would be cool to see/include''#ive read the rules i am looking all over for any rule that i could have possibly broken and i can not find a One.#its not even an outside community or anything#i doubt i'll get any sort of message from the mods about it#you'd think for a subreddit with 14k they'd have some sort of moderation system that sends a dm when things get taken down#it's probably some sort of AI bot thing tbh my post got taken down within 3 mins#whatever i have a final in less than an hour i should not be worrying about this sort of thing#gdbwye#blub blub#rant

thursday quest - no physical therapy today - make and eat lunch sooooo early but i can do it!!!!! - get ready for wedding - attend wedding! yay! (: - decompress well when i get home <3
#its thursday quest#god i'm so anxious about it autism style. so many uncertainties that i simply cannot account for alone. but i'm being sooo 'brave' about it#(keeping it to myself. except for posting about it)#taxi company hasn't texted me the drivers' details yet and i emailed them to be like ummmm your policy is to pay before the day#would you like to email me the payment details so i can do that? and they were like 'we'll send the driver details soon' ummmm#there isn't much soon left!!!!!!! it's happening tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!#they're probably just not Organised™ in the way i prefer to be. which is objectively fine it's just challenging for me personally.#i do not think it's Bad but!!!!! i've never taken a taxi before <- guy who Is Scared Of Taxis Specifically but has to face#their fears because they're disabled and have no other choice.#worst case i am down the money and no-one arrives to take me home i guess :P but it'll be afternoon AND my family are there so#in theory i could just get a lift home even though that would mess up other people's plans sooooo bad. UNLESS they have already drunk uhhhh#in which case i guess i'd just ask for help calling a taxi to the place. plany of people who can do such things easily (unlike me)#it'll be fine!!! i can ask my siblings if need be bc they are so niceys and will not get mad at me for being autistic o7#My other worry is being too hot and being in a rush getting ready bc i have to eat a proper meal due to the symptoms syndromes#and we are leaving when my lunch usually is so that's a whole thing. which ALSO doesn't matter and I can do! it's just hard!#where is that post that's like 'managed mental illness can look like absence of mental illness 😅'. NOT saying being autistic is mental#illness i am saying that the specific extreme anxiety i have is for me linked to autistic issues with 'the unknown' and boy. does this#social situation also have a lot of unknown.#BUT I CAN DO IT! and dare i say even have a nice time!!!!! it's just i get so so scared beforehand but i will not express it in a way that#impacts or inconveniences anyone else!!! i can handle it by myself at my house and it'll be fine

university.. university leave me alone
#heres the situation: for my cognitive literary studies class (quite fun) we had to pick primary material and a cognitive angle to analyse it#from. and the deadline was coming up and i who have been thinking very intensely about robots for the last half a year picked#yeah you guessed it. fucking PIERS PLOWMAN. which is not fun for me but i panicked about the deadline#so now i have to do something about piers plowman and its cognitive literary properties#and im in hell this is hell i have been extremely stressed about piers plowman for a month. to the point where ive been in physical pain#AND I CANNOT. THINK OF ANYTHING. ABOUT PIERS PLOWMAN.#and the teacher for that class is so nice and chill and she was like you can pick anything at all. and i went with piers plowman#like it's interesting but from what COGNITIVE angle can i approach piers plowman.#ive been thinking about saying exactly this that piers plowman is more for historical linguists and theologists than narratologists but im#also positive plenty of scholars read piers plowman for the plot#so then i thought about the characters and whether you can Connect with them and whether they help you Immerse yourself in the story and#other terminology i learned in cognitive literary studies class.#theyre allegorical and very 1 dimensional and there could be something about whether we from 2024 understand them in the same way#people from the 14th century did. like this was what i put in my proposal when i made it#but now i actually have to make the slides and use cognitive literary papers for this and it's just not going at all. i cant do it.#i cant do anything i cant enjoy the daylight and the warmer weather i cant think about anything other than im not making progress on this#and it's bad for me!! it's bad for my health i feel bad. why did i go with piers plowman why did i not pick watership down#my post#i have plenty to say about watership downm cognitively.#also about old possums book of practical cats#maybe i could email her and tell her id like to change it.. no#ive also been reading the tombs of atuan which is incredible

After a few years of part-time supporting-artist-ing in Cardiff I finally get a DW-related casting enquiry... a month after I moved away. 🙃
#I can probably share since it's a public enquiry rather than anything I signed on for. Plus it's not spoilery at all.#They don't list the production but the fact they're casting UNIT soldiers is a bit of a give-away!#so I'm guessing it's for The War Between the Land and the Sea#Doctor Who#The War Between the Land and the Sea#personal#unfortunately I not only am too far away for all the dates#but am also busy finishing my thesis up to the end of September so probably couldn't do all the shooting dates anyway#tbf I probably wouldn't have been picked regardless#since i'm probably not fit enough for the role they're casting for#they actually list is as “TWB (The War Between?) Feature Film”#(bizarrely there is actually a film called The War Between coming out sometime this year - but this is almost certainly TWBTLATS)#so they might be doing the “produce a miniseries as if it were a movie” Marvel/Star Wars thing#which could be a bit worrying - since that's not usually been good for pacing?#though that's a lot to read into from one semi-secretive spoiler-free email#or maybe we're all assuming wrong and they're actually doing it as a TV movie or something?

it's day two and one of my classes is already giving me anxiety attacks BUT there's so many people in my class that are in the same major as me so hopefully it'll be fine??
#also trying to be more proactive about emailing professors when i'm having trouble bc i really can't drop out of this class#screenwriting is lovely but i really do hate doing literally every other job in a production#like i'm not interested in it so i don't care so i'm bad at it#and then i get freaked out bc i'm bad at it#look i can make a banger script for my skill level okay#like when it comes to my screenwriting i can give an a-worthy script no problem#but that's what i'm studying. professor banging on about how if you just put enough effort in your short film final from this class could b#festival-wrothy like bro!!! no it will not!!! i fundamentally don't understand how to use a camera and trust me i've tried#they legitimately just don't make sense to me#like i get it in theory but then there's always 1 million things i somehow get wrong#and that's very stressful!!#anyways. i guess it's a good thing i only have three classes this semester#rambling

i can't believe how much this company apparently does not want my money
#this is about marqueetv#my debit card expired this month and they emailed me about it before i went and got a new one#there was actually a mixup w the bank sending me a new one in the mail. they had smth wrong w my address#but i sorted that out w the bank and got a new debit card on friday#so i went to update my payment information and they said that there was something wrong w my card??? call my bank???#reader there is nothing wrong w my card#it's been good enough to make several other large and small purchases since friday#but i was like eh ok anyway i guess i'll try plugging in paypal (after i updated my card on paypal)#wouldnt accept paypal either for completely different reasons??? seemingly???#and i emailed support about it. you know. friday night as i was experiencing this problem#STILL havent heard back from them and their support is apparently available 7 days a week (though not 24 hours a day)#so??? you dont want my money??? is that it you dont want my money?#tales from diana#i got their 3 months for 99 cents fall discount deal#and the month expires on october 3rd#so... if i have to update my payment info after that... will my deal go away??#dunno and that's honestly kinda less important to me#i've enjoyed this month enough that i've thought yeah i could pay 9.99 a month for this#like i like the library they have a lot#if you don't know what marqueetv is it's a lot of plays and operas and documentaries#very focused on the performing arts and 'high culture' but i mainly got them for rsc productions#still there's some other stuff i wanna watch...#well i might not get to once thursday comes#they LITERALLY do not want my money#like. ok#i wanna give you my money

I don't know what to add, but I wanted to share this.
This needs to end.
This needs. to end.
Edit:
2nd edit in case this blows up: Do not be vile in the notes justifying or trying to recruit for antisemitism by using this genocide to justify another.
#palestine#Gaza#isreal#I feel so frustrated and helpless#I'm sharing the posts and I'm going to send emails to politicians and if a protest is organized near me I will go#but it feels like trying to hold an ocean in my hands#My own life is so full and overwhelming and then I look up and see this and my chest hurts and it SHOULD HURT it should ALWAYS HURT#what can I do about the hurt... I guess right now I'm sharing it#Comments under this tweet were celebrating this girl's death#Vile vile things#What can I do? What can I do?#I'm sharing#I'm sharing and waiting and hoping that others are more capable than I#I wish I could throw myself fully into everything and save the world#I wish I was superman#I wish I were God#So I could snap my fingers and bring this girl back#and everyone else#I'm not religious but I understand where it came from#I want to believe their souls are still out there and they are at peace#I struggle with dissociation and have little affective empathy so I've been feeling somewhat numb#trying to share what I can. trying not to look away just because my mind is giving me the out#this story struck me more because it made me think of my own grandmother's last text to me#so... That's why I'm feeling compelled to talk and talk and talk in the tags#it hurts and it should hurt and it should always hurt#and if it doesn't hurt then we need to cognitively recognize that hurt is happening and care and talk and stop it and stop it and stop it#free palestine

Everyplate unboxing
I did the Everyplate offer again! Seriously, guys--I'm not trying to be, like, a corporate shill here, but if you do their introductory offer and then immediately cancel, they will beg to give you the introductory offer again. And again. And again. I've done it like six times, all with the same credit card/address/etc. They've even started adding bonus offers--this time I got an extra meal and a packet of steak for $1.
If you live in the US, have a credit card, and like cooking, you should probably do it, is what I'm saying. All you have to do is remember to cancel it when the box arrives.
Here's the box:
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/e9cd933f999728183acbc45dbda91b07/896f7b42b098c0eb-71/s540x810/8243d67ed6325ffbac33533806536c752a70803b.jpg)
It's a nice box, with a corrugated/reflective lining for temperature regulation. It's sturdy enough that you can re-use it (and the ice-packs that you get) as a little picnic cooler several times.
Here's inside the box:

Everything's just kind of jumbled in there, so you have to unpack it and sort out what goes with each meal. I've been doing the 6 meals/2 servings plan the last few times (the first few times I did 3 meals/4 servings), and with the extra meal offer this time I got 2 servings each of 7 meals. (You can get a smaller number of meals, but the shipping is a flat $11 no matter how many you get. If you pay attention when you're choosing which recipes you want, you can easily stretch the box out over 2 weeks--pick some things with vegetables that keep well, like carrots and so forth, and put the meat component in the freezer.)
Chicken stir-fry and dijon mustard steak:

With their stir-fries, I like to add some extra vegetables; I made this one last night and put in carrots and some more peppers, and it ended up being more like 3 servings than 2. The other one is originally a pork-chops recipe, but I'm going to do it with my free steak instead; I'm planning to have it tomorrow.
Shepherd's pie and linguine:

These two I'm putting aside for next week--I put the ground beef in the freezer, and everything else should be OK.
Sweet-potato hash and sausage flatbreads:

The sweet potato hash is also for next week. I made the flatbreads today. It was a little more complicated than I thought--they have you making a white sauce from scratch; I had to go out and buy milk--but it was really good!
Cherry pork chops/chicken:

They do a lot of recipes that are chicken or pork chops with some sort of fruit jam--I've done apricot and fig ones; this one has cherry jam. Since I ordered two meals that came with pork chops (this one and the dijon mushroom one) I swapped one set of pork chops for chicken, but then I also got the $1 steak, so I have an extra packet of meat; once I decide which one I want to have, I'll put the other one in the freezer.
I paid, like, $35 for all this food. I don't really understand why it's worth it to them to keep sending me this introductory offer when I have never bought a single full-price box, but they keep sending me emails asking me to please consider letting them send me a big box of food that they cannot possibly be making any money on, so ¯\_(��)_/¯ . I will oblige them.
#food#groceries#this can't possibly go on forever#but if you have a US address and a credit card you can get in on it while it lasts#back in the day they used to advertise this thing where you could get 8 cassettes/CDs for a penny “just pay shipping”#but then they would automatically send you stuff every month unless you told them not to#and you had to buy several items at full price before you were allowed to cancel it#this is not like that#you can do the introductory offer and just cancel right away#you do not ever have to buy a full-price box#they do keep emailing you periodically but just to keep offering you discounted boxes with no obligation to ever buy a full price one#I'm guessing it's some kind of enshittification cycle thing where it makes them look good to investors if people cancel and come back?#just spitballing#but anyway it's pretty good stuff and I cannot stress enough how very much they do not try to stop you#from taking advantage of the introductory offer over and over again#they positively encourage it

really liking a past teacher makes me feel so stupid. like ohhh ahhh what if he stopped working at my high school and i'll never see him again??? shut upppppp
#melonposting#as it is i'm thinking to myself oh what's his class schedule like now? could i come to visit? would he be too busy? will he want to kill me#what do i do if i show up in his office and he isn't there? bash my head in with a rock? should i bash my head in with a rock right now#and he didn't respond to an email i sent 2 months ago so i'm like oh. okay. now i can't talk to you ever again i guess#(he probably just missed it like the normal human being he is)#i never even got to say goodbye to him! cuz i was too busy traipsing around the 8th floor with my friends. when i got back he'd already lef#is my last moment with him seriously gonna be him telling me to hang out with people my age???? you can't be serious#like in a panic i was asking him for life advice and he was being really sweet. but then the peanut gallery shows up to nab me#and i remember looking him in the face with so much hesitation. i did not want to leave the dinky little chair in his dinky little office#but he softly said i should go hang out with them... and ugh i know he was right and i'm glad i listened but it still pisses me off#i hate how he smiles and tells me things i know are true but don't want to hear!!!#sorry sorry sorry. i keep posting about my compsci professor. but i really am rather fond of him
