someone: haha you just want to know when you’re off the hook

me: hah

someone: oh like twenty minutes

me: ok

*an hour later*

me: *clinging to every learned social skill i can think of with the desperate hope my distress and exhaustion doesn’t show*

someone: hey we’re almost done don’t be so crabby

me: hey that sounds fun! when were you thinking?

someone: oh we’re doing it right now

Then they leave themselves a nice five-star review with the fake account. This sounds like a victimless crime, but this means your information is compromised, they have your account info, and possibly your credit card information, and can lead to people purchasing garbage because they believe the multiple verified five star reviews. 

Monitor your credit and debit cards regularly. Be wary of pop up sites offering deals too good to be true. If you get a package you didn’t order, investigate, be cautious, but US law also allows you to keep anything sent to you without obligation (you know, to prevent scams where people send you something you didn’t ask for and then sue you for an inflated purchase price).

“He leant tensely against the corridor wall and frowned like a man trying to unbend a corkscrew by telekinesis.”

“Stones, then rocks, then boulders which pranced past him like clumsy puppies, only much, much bigger, much, much harder and heavier, and almost infinitely more likely to kill you if they fell on you.”

“He gazed keenly into the distance and looked as if he would quite like the wind to blow his hair back dramatically at that point, but the wind was busy fooling around with some leaves a little way off.”

“It looked only partly like a spaceship with guidance fins, rocket engines and escape hatches and so on, and a great deal like a small upended Italian bistro.”

Hey so if any of y’all are or have been volunteers for Ao3, PLEASE be careful when checking your emails

WHAT THE FUCK

THIS IS FUCKING BLACK MAGIC AND I NEED TO KNOW JUST

this literally is just how the women of India wear traditional clothing. The cloth itself is maybe a slightly different dimension, it looks bigger maybe, I’m not an expert by any means, but I do have some additional information for you.

The saree, or sari (or sometimes shari) is simply a panel of textile that has over 80 recorded methods of draping or wrapping – its origins date back nearly 5 thousand years, and the word itself is based on an old sanskrit word meaning “strip of cloth”

there are many instructional booklets and video tutorials and things on how to drape them various ways

Saris are usually woven with one plain end (the end that is concealed inside the wrap), two long decorative borders running the length of the sari, and a one to three-foot section at the other end which continues and elaborates the length-wise decoration. 

they are often very colorful and vibrant, and can be deigned so that when you wrap them different ways, different colors and patterns are featured. They are usually worn over a sort of bodice/shirt called a choli, which is what is on the top half of this mannequin

Famously worn in India, this same or similar style of attire is found in many other countries also, such as Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, etc
