i'm begging you guys to start pirating shit from streaming platforms. there are so many websites where you can stream that shit for free, here's a quick HOW TO:

1) Search for: watch TITLE OF WORK free online

2) Scroll to the bottom of results. Click any of the "Complaint" links

3) You will be taken to a long list of links that were removed for copyright infringement. Use the 'find' function to search for the name of the show/movie you were originally searching for. You will get something like this (specifics removed because if you love an illegal streaming site you don't post its url on social media)

4) each of these links is to a website where you can stream shit for free. go to the individual websites and search for your show/movie. you might have to copy-paste a few before you find exactly what you're looking, but the whole process only takes a minute. the speed/quality is usually the same as on netflix/whatever, and they even have subtitles! (make sure to use an adblocker though, these sites are funded by annoying popups)

In conclusion, if you do this often enough you will start recognizing the most dependable websites, and you can just bookmark those instead. (note: this is completely separate from torrenting, which is also a beautiful thing but requires different software and a vpn)

you can also download the media in question (look for a "download" button built into the video window, or use a browser extension such as Video DownloadHelper.)

Honestly employers oughtta be tripping over themselves desperate to employ chronically ill people. Who else is more intimately acquainted with prioritizing tasks, maximizing efficiency, and overcoming challenges? Like are you kidding me? Maybe I’ll miss a few days here or there. Maybe I’ll be grumpy when something hurts. But when I’m at my best? When I actually have energy? It’s like removing the training weights. I do the work of 3 people, easily. Even at my worst, I can usually eke out the bare minimum. Like idk about you, but I’d say that averages out to a pretty good deal.

I'm realizing that the question I need to be asking myself often isn't "do I feel like doing x?" but "will doing x make me feel better?" Because even if taking that shower or going for that walk or sitting down to draw or showering or eating or cleaning isn't what I'd prefer to do in the moment, it's very likely that I'll feel better afterwards. And maybe that matters more than whether I initially feel like getting started.

This is a little more niche as far as fan-efforts go, but figure it's worth boosting anyways:

SOC Fans are fundraising for billboards to put up in NYC and LA to save the Six of Crows spinoff.

Here's the Kickstarter - it's already about 2/3 of the way to target. Any small amount of money helps - even a $1 donation.

And even if you're not in the place to donate, please like and reblog!

I've seen this before, but it's been years and it just came across my Twitter in its dying days. The words are from a favorite author of mine, Maggie Stiefvater, and they are the words I most need to hear when it comes to dealing with chronic pain and illness. I didn't need this the first time I saw it, six years ago. I need it now. Maybe you do, too.

a fun thing about being on medication that carries warnings like 'if you suddenly stop taking this you might have effects that can range from feeling crummy to psychosis' is that the pharmacy will still go 'haha oopsie we forget to get those pills you order every single month, you can do without for a while right'

Which path should he choose?

The path of the warrior, the path of the scholar, or the path of the artist?

Reading The Locked Tomb series like:

Heart wrenchingly beautiful prose-TEN YEAR OLD MEME-descriptive language so visceral and brilliant you feel it through your whole body-HORRIBLE DAD JOKE-a paragraph so original, poignant and resonant it’s like nothing you’ve ever read before, to the point where you’re sure you’re reading the work of a genius, the likes of which have never before- HOMESTUCK REFERENCE. ANOTHER EVEN WORSE DAD JOKE. TWENTY YEAR OLD MEME. FUCK YOUR IMMERSION, GET RICK ROLLED BITCH.
