Back because Ive lost control of my life

We are the last generation who can hear from these survivors directly. Do not take that lightly. Do not waste that opportunity. Do not forget your freedom isn’t infinitely guarenteed. And do not, do not, let it happen again.

Really truly, watch the video, reblog it. Teaching about the holocaust is so necessary for our generation before it slips under the rug and people forget about it.

More Hilda!!

A new co-worker tried to assert his nerd dominance over lunch by explaining to me what Dungeons & Dragons is.

Rate the efficacy of his depiction on a scale of 0-100%?

He seemed to be under the impression that the Dungeon Master has their own secret character (also called the Dungeon Master), and that becoming powerful enough to fight this character is how you win the game.

hey I have a new rule I’d like to propose for all editions of dungeons and dragons

remember the time i pitched a longform piece to buzzfeed and the editor was like, “this sure is an interesting idea, how about you write this entire 12,000-word article on spec and then i’ll take a look at it and see if i like it enough to publish it and pay you for it” and i was like, “no, i want some assurance that you will publish my work and pay me for my labour before i spend several months researching and reporting and writing this piece, that is standard in this industry,” and she never replied to me, and i eventually pitched it to another publication with a fraction of buzzfeed’s budget and got paid literally thousands of dollars. bc i think about that a lot.

it’s almost like buzzfeed isn’t real journalism

no, buzzfeed is real journalism, buzzfeed’s news team were pulitzer finalists, it’s just that buzzfeed’s management is made up of grifters and their greed has penetrated every level of the publication! effed up!
