#or fail

Seems like a good day to post Doni Nahmias' story. I was reading this the other day, and a lot of his fashion started making more sense to me (Summerland, hello?!).

I especially love this part though:

"But opening yourself up to the public and being vulnerable is scary. People won’t always like you or what you’re creating. So, a lot of people never do it.

There’s probably the most incredible designer right now cooped up in a studio, with the most beautiful collections. But no one's ever gonna see it because they're scared to post it or something. Or, they're scared to share their work because they don't know how people are going to respond to it.

There are so many musicians, painters, designers like that. But if they could just share their work, and share themselves, it'll get found. If it's authentic, it'll get found.”

what annoys me about explaining evolution to people who don’t think it’s real is that everyone’s idea of how it works seems to be from this

Whereas the reality is far more like

can’t believe tiktok is actually getting banned, twitter is infested with bots and brainworm-infested musk bootlickers, facebook is king of QAnon, instagram caught the plague from facebook and is dying a slow death in real time… and as the dust settles… only Miss Tumblr is left standing… failing upwards once again

it's such a bummer that losing control of your emotions only makes the entire situation worse in really embarrassing personal ways. losing control of my emotions should give me pyrokinesis.

one of my favorite subtle implications in the series is that it seems the Titan Army was fully banking on Percy being the host of Kronos. Why else would they make their main base a cruise ship if their primary enemy is a son of Poseidon? Named after Andromeda, the wife of Perseus? Why would they work on Oceanus specifically being free so much? Side notably with other children of Poseidon? Why plant Zeus and Hades' items of power on Percy when Luke already had them? Why only Zeus and Hades' items, not Poseidon's? Well because they really need Percy as Kronos' host, that's why. (and Poseidon siding with them because of that would be a bonus as well)

I like to imagine Luke's cabin on the Princess Andromeda is fully decked out with like "WELCOME PERCY" and sea-themed sheets and everything and he hates it so much cause it's a constant reminder he failed and he was Kronos' second choice. Also then he gets his super special pegasus not even exactly stolen by Percy, but the pegasus willingly defects to be Percy's personal steed instead, which must just be insult to injury. Luke has immense one-sided beef with Percy and Percy has no idea.

you're allowed to discuss and work together, reblog for a higher sample size or something

You have 1 week, good luck!

not to sound like a boomer, but I need some people to learn how to write emails in a semi-professional (at the very least) format so you're not cold emailing a business/potential employer/any other stranger about formal matters in the exact same way you'd DM a close friend on instagram

the formality/language can loosen up in the email chain once you've established a rapport and you match the other person if they're being less formal, but please don't have the very first email you send a stranger be written in all lowercase ultra-casual sms slang with no greeting or signature and a billion emojis

This isn't the full scene, but I absolutely love how insanely wacky they had the house fight in the movie be.

Full on Looney Tunes energy.
