The Kang Mansion has a massive garden + it's near a body of water and a forest so I just know that in summer Kang Yohan is not only fighting his own demons, he's also fighting roaches and mosquitoes

every time quinn mentions cory on feeds, cory gets like 12 people in his replies calling him all sorts of dumb names, and when he replies to be like “you’re a loser and a poser” people were like “how dare you use your platform to dogpile a toc (tweeter of color)” maybe don’t quote tweet him calling him and his girlfriend a bitch every time quinn is like “i wanted to do a fashion show like cory & blue did bc i’m bored and that seemed like fun” then??

anyways i hope cory & kevin jacobs & quinn link up after the show, i think it’s sweet to see super fans inspiring other super fans to finally take the leap and apply! i hope one day we get someone who was inspired by fe & america being super fans who got on and had a fun time, we need more lady super fans!

Song of the Day: December 18

“On the Steps of the Palace" from Stephen Sondheim's best musical "Into the Woods" (I'm partial to the original Broadway cast recording, but the 2002 revival is also good)

Harrow the ninth is great for me, someone who spent the entirety of Gideon the ninth going I don’t really care what Gideon thinks about all this I want to hear harrow’s thoughts as she summons so many skeletons that she passes out on the floor

Pro tip for anyone who lives in a building with a toilet: if the plunger isn't working, and you're tempted to leave the clog until the morning, make sure the water isn't still flowing into the bowl.

And make sure it's not on the ground floor of a two-story house, with a communal plumbing pipe that is now clogged deep enough for any water upstairs to come out that toilet.

Related tips:

Carpet that has been soaked in poo water cannot be cleaned by human hands, even with one of those steamer machines.

Drywall that has been soaked in poo water will need to have a one-foot "flood cut" carved into it, to remove the damaged area.

You know that part in ET where the house is covered in tarps because Biohazard™? The water damage people will need to recreate that, with zipper doorways and industrial dehumidifier fans roaring day and night for 3-5 days.

Cats can and will climb inside any holes in the wall. Yes, even that one. Yes, they can climb upward too.

Homeowner's insurance is GREAT.

This little misadventure will cost upwards of $17,000 to fix (but we only have to pay $1000 of it). That's still an expensive clot of toilet paper.

In other news, our new carpet is going to be a different color, and that's exciting.

"Why did the water heater break up with the shower? It just couldn’t handle the constant cold shoulder!"

[egberts]

so the customer service rep that told us "you could dig it up yourself, you'll just be fined for damaging the street!" also told alana that she submitted the report and it would be 3 to 7 business days so alana was like "you understand our sewer is not connected at all and this is impeding our legal right to sanitary waste disposal right? we need this expedited please" and the lady got real quiet for a minute and said "okay i'll note that too" and now two hours later we have four guys and a big truck out there digging up the street. hmmmmm

i had a line in one of the drafts of the fic chapter posted yesterday about luz having woken up once to amity watching HER sleep even though luz does her best not to look at amity at all whatsoever bc she's convinced that desire is poison or whatever. i ended up cutting it not so much because i thought it was too weird as bc i was like okay amity needs at least SOME way to escape edward cullen allegations. but i am still thinking about it.

the thing compelling me most is that amity wouldn't even watch luz sleep in a desiring or crush-like way she's just like. [with the laser focus of a scientist watching a bug] why do you make me feel things. if i apply enough scientific analysis to the way you breathe and look really soft and vulnerable rn then i'll hack my own physiology and fix it. this will not backfire in any way whatsoever

Shoutout to the fact none of our toilets work (they literally will not flush) so every team has just had to wander over to the wards out the back to go and use their staff toilets today 💀 help us

Shout out to the guy who read:

"I keep trying to warn you where this will lead.

It isn't about what I want or what I think should happen, I'm not endorsing anything, let's be clear, it's about what will happen, really, it's about human nature.

This isn't about what's moral, or what's reasonable, or what you think you can stoke a divisive culture war against, it isn't about my opinion, I did not invent the nature of need, it's about what people have always done when faced with no good options, guns in their hands and staring up at the people sentencing them to suffering and death."

Interpreted it as me saying "gun violence is the appropriate solution" and then threatened me with gun violence for saying it was the solution...

And then deleted his reblog when I pointed out his lack of reading comprehension and blocked him.

Leave alone that he is exactly the kind of disillusioned right wing supporting gun toting reactionary who I was trying to point out will be the ones actually enacting the gun violence [not so much the staunch leftists who believe in the value of human life]... As has actually already been proven at least 3 times now.

I'd like to remind him that I do report people for threats of physical violence and for harassment.

And I'd like to recommend stepping away from the internet and having a nice hot bath or something every time he feels the need to try to make a nasty comment... Before he makes an ass of himself again.

I'd also like to reiterate that I am not endorsing gun violence, I am merely pointing out that this will continue to happen if we stay on this trajectory, and you can't reasonably expect another outcome.

Look at history's example.

You are fucking so deeply with human rights and everyone being able to meet their basic needs that the angry incels who used to be taking aim at women and students, are the exact group who are now looking angrily up at billionaires and politicians, having finally seen who they should be mad at [not an endorsement of them seeing gun violence as the solution], and wow I bet THEY -the largely rich white men who are 'calling the shots'- don't like it when the guns are being aimed at them instead of the women and children they can usually scapegoat...

Maybe try not to literally threaten to shoot the messenger?

I mean, I can also predict that suddenly gun reform will start to seem okay or be dropped as a main talking point by the political right once enough billionaires, CEOs, and politicians are shot/shot at... That's just me pointing out what's a near inevitability... Not me exerting some power to try to make it happen. [I have none]

I'm not the one with the gun, and I'm not the one stripping people of their basic human rights or denying their needs for survival. I have no power to tell people what to do and I have about as much influence as your average tumblr shit-poster at best. That is in fact the MOST power I have in any facet of my life. I'm just telling you what I see happening. If you think lashing out at me solves anything, you are misdirecting that energy, buddy.
