you gotta be mentally unwell about your passions !

inspiration struck and would not let me go until i drew this

but like. my followers list looks like THIS and i do not have the spare TIME to fix it:

.... I know this isn't directed at me but I just wanna clarify something for everyone else who might not be able to visualize the sheer scale of time sink I'd be dealing with.

I posted that screenshot, from the top of my followers page, 23 hours ago. In that time, the amount of new followers, 98% of whom are bots, went up by 643

It's super easy to check, i just hunt down the last real person in the list, ctrl c & z into excel, and divide the total line count by three.

when I say it's a wildly unmanageable time sink to try to whackamole these things while juggling a job hunt, taking care of myself, AND managing a whole small business.... 😬😬😬

apologies @taffeta-von-aavamere I know this is probably your personal blog but I gotta use your follow as the current benchmarck of bot hell so I can see what the numbers are like tomorrow

What's the deal with the possessive apostrophe? I was taught at school that something belonging to something would have the possessive apostrophe (eg "it's arm" or "henry's hammer"), but now I'm being told that the use of "It's" is incorrect. Was I taught wrong or has something changed? All the best, Lancette

I mean first of all punctuation rules are fake so you can do whatever you want and as long as it doesn't hinder understanding it's fine

that said, if you were explicitly taught in school that "it's arm" can mean something other than "it is arm" then either you're misremembering or your teacher was trying some bold new experimental orthography conventions for their curriculum.

also worth pointing out, this was probably just you not phrasing it carefully but nouns that are marked with the -'s suffix are definitely not "something belonging to something"; it's the other way around. -'s marks something that something belongs to.

I was watching Pokémon: Indigo League on Netflix and the Pokédex called Kakuna a “transitional Pokémon”
