The monster and the scientist

Fortunately, banks no longer just ask 'did you make that transaction' they want to make sure you weren't scammed into making that transaction and 5mins after their call will give away all your money anyway.

This is an honest to goodness life saving movement and I cannot be happier banks are adopting it

Unfortunately, it meant I had to have the most embarrassing financial call of my life

Me: Ah yeah I was just trying to tip a tumblr blog

Cash: right and were you directed there by a Facebook link? An Instagram advert?

Me: no I was just on tumblr...on purpose

-

Caah: and this person asked you for money?

Me: oh no they just had a funny story, which happened to be about money and I thought, "wouldn't it be funny if I tipped them"

-

Me: * covering a reblog by reblog update on the adventures my mutual was having *

Cash: okay I don't think that can actually happen though..

Me: It might not have, but i was happy to tip them just because it was funny

-

Cash: and how well do you think you know this person?

Me: *considers explaining how much I know about a beloved mutual without ever knowing their name or face* ... I have no idea who this person is

in phm, grace just. he cries. he cries because he's alone and sad and scared and he's saying goodbye to two people who must have been his friends but he can't remember. he cries because he's stressed. he cries because his best friend is sending him home and he didn't think he'd ever get to go back. he cries because his best friend is asleep and he doesn't know if he'll ever wake up. he cries because he's found a way to save not only one but two worlds. he cries because he has to give up going home to save his best friend. he cries because he did save him.

idk.

ryland grace cries, frequently, and he is brave. he is brave and a hero and the story's beloved protagonist and he cries about damn near everything.

Labubus are blind bags but they're also blind bags with some of the most insane dark patterns stacked on top. The online store for them has a thing where they tell you what you got the second you order it online so that you can immediately try again if you didn't get the thing you wanted.
