WIP for an Dragon Age AU thing. I have no idea when I'm going to finish this, but I low key wrote a fic about it, so...

The only thing I got out of Veilguard is frustration and AU brainrot. If the writers are going to do stupid shit to the lore, then I'm allowed to go wild with it too and have Hawke, Sten and DA2's Arishok stand in for Rook, because they would bring some much needed drama and character to the role. We are all suck in this mess, but we do it in an entertaining manner.

don't mind me i am just feeling such despair thinking how i will probably have to move sooner or later to a foreign country and will have to learn a brand new language and make enough money because i am not leaving my mom in serbia. like i can't just go like my other friends and think only about myself and i don't know it's weighting a bit heavy on me at this moment like why wasn't i born rich. my taurus friend is like "cant wait for u to move out of serbia" but she literally doesnt work + is a stay at home gf with a rich man like girl 😭😭😭😭 WHATEVER. positive thoughts......

The other line of comic book-sized GURPS Traveller sourcebooks were Planetary Surveys. This is the first of them and there are five more, which feels like a pretty good run. This one details the vacation planet Kamsii (2001).

Kamsii is a little unusual for Traveller, as it is in the Galactic Core rather than the frontier, and it represents a rich, stable planet thoroughly controlled by a corporate interest. As the subtitle indicates, Kamsii is a destination for tourists and pleasure seekers and is arranged around the safety and enjoyment of its guests. I feel like the playground planet is a pretty standard science fiction trope that often gets deployed without deeper evaluation. Not so here — while the fun bits are presented as fun (and are sights and services on offer are more robust than I expected considering the book’s brevity), behind the scenes Kamsii is downright dystopic: a whole planet under micromanaged corporate control, where all the residents are employees and where safety, or the appearance of safety, is of paramount importance. And that’s the neutral version — there are three other versions on offer, as well, one where the planet really is the happiest place in the galaxy (which is unsettling in a completely different way), one where it is old and dangerous (a la Action Park) and one where all the insidious rumors are true (which is downright terrifying).

There is, I think, some clear commentary on Disney here, or at least Disney provided a logical jumping off point. It is well before its time, too — the similarly themed film Escape from Tomorrow came out in 2013 and the weird fallout of Disney owning or subsidizing the utilities of whole towns was only just revealed in the real world a couple years ago.

5 Types of Surveys You Should Participate In—And Why It Matters

In today’s fast-paced world, businesses, organizations, and governments rely on accurate data to make decisions. One way they gather this valuable information is through surveys. You might have encountered many types of surveys online or in person, but did you know that your participation can significantly impact change? In this blog, we’ll explore five types of surveys, highlighting why they’re important and why you should consider participating.

1. Customer Satisfaction Surveys

Why They Matter:

Ever wondered why companies ask for your feedback after a purchase? Customer satisfaction surveys are a tool businesses use to gauge how well they meet customer expectations. The insights gained help companies improve their products, services, and overall customer experience.

Why You Should Participate:

Shape the future of products: By providing honest feedback, you influence how companies refine and develop their offerings.

Get better service: Your input helps businesses identify areas where they can improve, which could result in better services for you in the future.

Exclusive rewards: Many companies offer discounts or rewards for completing these surveys, making it a win-win situation for both you and the business.

2. Employee Engagement Surveys

Why They Matter:

Employee engagement surveys are conducted within organizations to understand how employees feel about their workplace. These surveys cover job satisfaction, management, work-life balance, and team dynamics.

Why You Should Participate:

Voice your opinion: If you’re employed, these surveys provide a safe platform to express your thoughts on management, company culture, and work conditions.

Improve your workplace: Honest feedback from employees can drive positive change, improve work environments, and increase job satisfaction for everyone.

Build better leadership: When management understands the concerns and suggestions of their teams, they can create policies and make decisions that support a more motivated and productive workforce.

3. Political Opinion Polls

Why They Matter:

Political opinion polls measure public sentiment about political issues, elections, or government performance. Polls like these inform political leaders, policymakers, and the media about public concerns and opinions.

Why You Should Participate:

Influence decision-making: Your voice adds to a collective view that could influence policy decisions and political discourse.

Shape the political landscape: Politicians and leaders often adjust their priorities based on what the public wants. Your input helps ensure that your concerns are addressed.

Understand trends: Participating in these surveys allows you to see where you stand in comparison to others and gain insight into broader societal trends.

4. Market Research Surveys

Why They Matter:

Market research surveys are used by companies to understand consumer behavior, preferences, and market trends. This research helps businesses decide what products to launch, how to price them, and how to market them.

Why You Should Participate:

Influence new products: Companies rely on feedback from people like you to decide what features to add or what products to create. Your opinion can directly affect future innovations.

Stay ahead of trends: By participating in market research, you often get a sneak peek at new products or services before they hit the market.

Get rewards: Many companies offer incentives such as cash, gift cards, or discounts for participating in market research surveys.

5. Health and Wellness Surveys

Why They Matter:

Health surveys are often conducted by government bodies, research organizations, or healthcare institutions to assess public health trends, study diseases, or improve healthcare services. These surveys play a critical role in shaping health policies and medical research.

Why You Should Participate:

Contribute to scientific research: Participating in health surveys can contribute to advancements in healthcare and medical research, potentially saving lives or improving the quality of care.

Raise awareness: Health surveys help identify trends in public health that may need attention, such as the rise of certain diseases or health conditions.

Improve healthcare services: Your participation allows healthcare providers to understand what patients need, leading to improved services, more targeted treatments, and better patient care.

Why Your Participation Matters:

By participating in surveys, you are helping companies, governments, and organizations make better decisions based on real data. Surveys allow decision-makers to better understand consumer and public needs, ultimately leading to improved products, services, policies, and societal well-being.

Here are three key reasons why you should participate in surveys:

Be heard: Surveys provide a platform where your opinion can directly impact the world around you.

Drive positive change: Whether it's about the workplace, healthcare, or politics, your input can lead to real, actionable change.

Gain benefits: In many cases, surveys come with rewards or incentives, allowing you to get something back in exchange for your time.

So the next time you come across a survey in your inbox or on a website, take a moment to consider participating. Your feedback matters more than you think!

Conclusion: From customer satisfaction surveys to political opinion polls, the surveys we take part in help shape our society. By sharing your thoughts and experiences, you contribute to a better future for everyone. Plus, it’s an easy way to ensure that your voice counts, while sometimes reaping personal rewards along the way!

I’m in a statistics class right now and I have a final project that will require survey data. I created a totally anonymous survey for feelings while flying because as I’ve gotten older, flying scares me more. Help a girl out and take this survey if you are 18 or older and occasionally take a flight:

I… don’t really have to tell you which fic I like lol.

Scaramance = Puppet reader is a passenger and pillow prince/princess. He will drive them where they want when they want, he’ll carry the bags, don’t worry baby, embrace the spoiling.

I don’t really insert myself into the stories! Kinda of weird? But I see the distinction between the reader inserts because each story has different settings/requirements and it’s vague enough to input the other bits if you get what I mean.

It’s… like a diving board? For me at least, since I read the story and I don’t get attacked by thoughts until after I read it all. Then I start doing regular everyday stuff and my mind wanders to it and then the gears start turning. And then I’m trapped in brain rot hell.

A really good thing about your writing is how you set up the story so it provides a rather solid foundation for brain rots, which are like the furniture!

I haven’t read a story from you that I didn’t like. If anything, I just haven’t been brave enough to throw out ideas until Scara.

Scara is the grumpy neighborhood cat you decide to follow one day only to see him jump on a spiked fence to visit his beloved puppet reader and suddenly you’re invested in their fluffy love story. And I did fall in love with their relationship. It’s more than the typical friendship/romance and captures just how complex love can be? It’s… it’s a quiet and not so loud love but you see him and you know that whatever he has with puppet reader, it is where eternity is found. (Hehe, eternity, get it?)

Just as there is love in the way that everyone checks on Collei to make sure she’s okay and the way Cyrus checks up on reader and they actively communicate about their lives. There’s love in how Tighnari lets them and Cyno lay on him and he holds their hands as he listens to their soft whispers and oh, Cyno makes a joke and-. There’s love when they include Karkata and Kevah at dinner, and they share stories and jokes and laugh and laugh into the late hours of the night.

Because love (from where I live) is so, so closely associated with a sexual romance where the guy wins the girl no matter what he does to her and how he’s always stoic and can’t be vulnerable. And the culture I was raised in is one where the men can have affairs and no one bats an eye but that’s a whole another story.

But there’s love in your story even if the focus is romance. In bits and pieces here and there that speaks about their willingness to be open about it and I think we should start remembering love (platonic, romantic, and familial) in all the little places that we end up overlooking because we’re so used to it.

This got long and off topic so I’ll end it here, but I would love the idea of love. Not blindly. But that it exists and it doesn’t have to be overwhelming all the time. The kind of love that you learn to speak and watch as you grow as a person. And!!!! It’s okay if two people grow into people who are no longer compatible because it doesn’t erase the love that was/is there. Because you can end the relationship amicably and fall in love again and be surrounded by love from friends (in real life and online!!!) and family.

Okay, I’m done for real now.

Bloom anon

(survey) Holy crap, this reads like a poem, a masterpiece, bloom anon. It's so beautiful, and the bits of headcanons stuck between is both hilarious and amazing

Also the part with Scaramouche dragging reader around is so in line with his Wanderer occupation for real, I can imagine them in a modern au that's always traveling to the point that their friends only get updated by their socmed photos together in some other country or region. While Scaramouche carries the luggage, Reader always has those neck pillows around their neck and their drinks in hand (they hold the drink up for Scara to drink when his hands are full) (eternity joke so tru tho, that's what I was trying to convey!!)

I am sorry about the death of romance in your area, honestly that's kind of the same here in my country too and I try to not embody that for the next generation. But thank you for the sweetness in noticing the details! I do adore the many ways romance can be shown (Romance is actually not my go to genre in every media I consume haha) and as such, refrain from writing cliches

But I think the biggest factor is that I'm a demiromantic, romance that is cultivated and grown is my specialty, romance that naturally occurs. And perhaps my preference to not overly romanticize things can sometimes make fics look like platonic and familial too, which I don't mind at all

Absolutely beautiful words, bloom anon, thank you. Let love foster here, small or not, and I wish to continue showing everyone the many beautiful forms of love

This is typical America. We know there is a problem, the problem needs addressed but not in my backyard. Well, if not in yours then in whose backyard?

Hi everyone!

I’m conducting reaseach for my bachelor's thesis on a interesting topic. It’s about catering in air travel.

I would love for you to contribute to it as your input is super valuable to me and will help me gain a better understanding of the topic.

So, if you have a few minutes to spare, please take a moment to fill out the questionnaire. I promise it won't take long and it’s anonymous. Plus, you'll be contributing to some valuable research!

(Ps: Even if you haven’t flown with a plane nor eaten on a plane, there are options for that too)

Have a nice day!

I'm never really here anymore, but that doesn't stop me from shamelessly using this account to ask for help to finish my studies ✌️✌️✌️

I'm doing a research project on people working and travelling with kids under 12.

Filling this in will only take 5-10 minutes and will save me a lot of headache so if any of you has any time/willingness to reblog that would help me tremendously, I need 300 answers in 5 days and I am overwhelmed to say the least.

November 2022: Melbourne and Mastodon

My newsletter for November 2022: Melbourne and Mastodon

I spent November in Melbourne, Australia, where I gave a talk about linguistics communication at La Trobe University, did lots of hanging out and behind the scenes work with my Lingthusiasm cohost, Lauren Gawne, and met up with various other delightful linguists, including attending the annual meeting of the Australian Linguistic Society at Melbourne University. All of which were extremely good,…
