oh this is a life saver
So these are both “Aw Fuck I’m outta real food” meals BUT ALSO: if you’re learning how to cook, these are great “baby steps” meals to learn how to cook basics into something enjoyable without “wasting” anything expensive. Though I maintain that even cooking screw-ups are valuable in terms of lessons learned.
Also they’re great for when you get absorbed in something and you realize your blood sugar is dropping and you need to make something Quick.
Making basic storecupboard or fridge ingredients less basic and more nutritious.
Was I the one scrolling this post like "surely this is going to be the last one"
I met a nice robin at the Morton Arboretum.
Today my Advanced Clinical Pathology professor trailed off in the middle of class and said, “If I seem distracted, it’s because last night I was talking with a friend and she asked ‘Who’s that chick in Titanic?’ but all I heard was ‘Chicken Titanic,’ and ever since then I’ve been thinking about a chicken on the bow of the Titanic like Kate Winslet, wings held high. It’s all I can think about.”
My hand moved on its own
so rare and beautiful when the art is exactly the image u saw in your mind

recently been getting very into the idea that humans are cute. "but robin! that's an opinion most people have!" sure! but we're cute ANIMALS. we're cute PRIMATES. not just cute PEOPLE
we have paws. with little toebeans. and that's cute. we have soft and squishy parts and that's cute. we have fluffy hair on our heads and fuzzy hair on our bodies and that's cute. we make noises when we're startled or excited and that's cute. we love to play in water and that's cute. we love to sleep in big soft nests and that's cute. we cross our legs when we sit on the ground and that's cute. we get redder in the face and ears when we're feeling big emotions and that's cute.
if I was a sapient alien from another galaxy and I found humans all I would be able to think is AWW AWWWWW I wouldn't even be able to say Take Me To Your Leader because I would be too busy picking humans up and carrying them around and petting them behind the ears. and they would love this. my truth on the matter
If we encountered exoskeletal bug people then they would take one look at our ungainly pulpy bodies and say "babies! Little grubs using spaceships all by themselves!"
#i don't know how i feel about the idea of being babycute by the opinion of bug aliens#something very odd for sure
TOO LATE YOU ARE CUTE TO THE BUGS
just wanna say i am a big fan of this trope specifically
oh well i guess ill just be fat and hot
guess ill be fat and hot and hot
listen to me, this is so so important: you've gotta get used to really giving it your 60% as a default. like don't half-ass it necessarily but try not to go over 70% or so of an ass. you'll feel better and live a happier more fulfilled life, and on the rare occasions where you do need to lock the fuck in you'll be able to pull off bullshit that the sad miserable wretches giving it their 100% can never dream of, because they're busy draining themselves dry and you have energy reserves to spare.
so i keep the notifications on this blog turned off but apparently this post got reblogged a lot while i wasn't looking and there are upsettingly many people in the notes saying things like "oh but my maximum is only 40%" so let me be incredibly fucking clear: this is a post about not working yourself to exhaustion and the importance of keeping some energy in reserve. if your maximum is """40%""" then that's not your fucking 40% then is it. that's your 100%. do 60% of that. if 40% is your 100% then you've gotta get used to really giving it your 24% as a default, or whatever.
don't work yourself to exhaustion! keep energy in reserve!! maybe unionise or something, i don't know!!! i'm not some magic wizard of knowing how to solve capitalism, i just made a post when i was kinda drunk and not thinking very hard and now people keep reblogging it and saying depressing things in the notes.

playing a new game where i talk about fandom using words that belong on corporate powerpoint slides like:
✨ we have to align our headcanons to authentically reflect our strategic mission and meet quarterly margin objectives ✨
sorry to everyone who understood that
as per my last 5+1,
Hello team,
With all due respect, I cross-checked your references with Kakashi from accounting, and the error in your fics was statistically significant. Every fic published in our “Enemies to Lovers” tag after the most recent episode’s air date needs to be updated and reviewed due to new policies issued by the author.
Please re-aquaint yourself with the source material before next week’s meeting and prepare to discuss the changes.
Cheers!
you guys are really good at this game
the internet is for
“He lives in Canada,” Eddie shouts from the kitchen island, where he's been tossing grapes into his mouth for the last few minutes. He catches one and drops his head as he chews, leveling Chim and Hen with a significant look. “Buck has an Internet boyfriend who lives in Canada.” Chim and Hen let out a chorus of “Ohhh,” as realization dawns, while Buck shoots Eddie an irritated glare. “So, he's being catfished,” Chim nods, everything aligning and making infinitely more sense. “Got it.” or: the Canadian BF AU by @kirkaut

20 years ago, it was a scandal that Google started to track which links you clicked on the search-results page,
this is like finding a journal written by someone before the zombie apocalypse happened
I used to do cross country in high school, and there was this guy on the team that was wonderful. Great guy. But his advice to everyone that asked how to get good was to run 20k a day.
If you don't run, I'll just tell you, most people's bodies cannot take that kind of abuse. No matter how much you train, you will not be able to run 20k a day. It's like how you can't train to make your cuts heal faster. You recover as fast as you recover. So while a big part of what made this guy so succesful was the dedication and mental toughness needed to actually run 20k a day, an equally big part was that he healed like fucking Wolverine. And that's fine, but it would've been nice if he knew that and stopped telling new guys to commit suicide by jogging.
Different guy on the team ran like, 5-6k a day, which actually isn't all that much. His problem when he gave advice was that he didn't really get that 5-6k a day doesn't generally produce elite results for most people. He was lucky in the sense that he didn't have to work all that hard to get great results, and unlucky in the sense that if he pushed himself much further than that, he fell apart.
I think about those two whenever I get advice from succesful people. The very things that make them outliers also make their advice useless to most people. Worse, they're often outliers on totally separate ends of the same spectrum, so their advice will be contradictory.
@creamsoda-slut no, this was a thing on our team too. The 20k guy had a cast iron stomach and he loved hotdogs. I eat hotdogs as a like, a nostalgia thing, but he just truly genuinely loved them. So some runs, he'd duck into a gas station and buy some. Pair it with the fact that this guy also had a major league pot belly, and it was a sort of accidental psychological warfare tactic. I'd be running along, panting, sweating, dying of heastroke by the AZ canals, and then Mr. 20k would blitz past, potbelly jutting 3 inches past his nose, a greasy gas station hotdog in both hands, and then he'd yell HEY BABS YER DOINGF FERFIFIC and I'd realize in the kind of sluggish way you realize everything when it's over 100 degrees that he had a third hotdog in his mouth and wasn't even out of breath. And then he'd slap my ass and chortle through his hotdog in this sort of huffy HEUHEUHEUHEUHEU and just rocket over the horizon. It was incredible. Like running with Dionysus.
Another time, we had a girl who wore a tankini on a run to the pool. Some of the other girls were Scandalized, so the coach made a thing about it and she was super embarrassed to be called out and then for the next pool run he showed up in a yellow speedo, gave himself a wedgie up to his nips and just slow jogged in front of the complainers the whole way to the pool. There was nothing they could do. If they tried to go fast, he could just pick up speed indefinitely, he was impossibly fast, and if they went slow, he, he had no issue just taking a mozy with his buns out.
Nobody complained about the tankini after that.
At another race, him and a few other varsity were having a contest to see who could pee up a tree the highest. He won when he ran up to the tree, still pissing, and did a sort of half-backflip that resulted in him falling straight on his head while also whipping piss like 12 feet up the tree. Everyone cheered him on so fucking hard, and he was ecstatic, I distinctly remember doing one of thus chest bump things with him and getting pushed back like 8 feet, but immediately afterwards he had his race and he kept getting lost because it turned out that the whole landing directly on his head thing gave him a concussion. And despite going on like, 3 wrong turns, he still won that race.
I was never friends with him personally, I just kind of watched him in awe from a distance. An incredible human being. One of my favorite people of all time. Only flaw that he had is that he casually would tell new guys to join him for workouts, and then the rest of us poor saps who had actually tried it once would go over and have to tell the new guy to Actually Please Don't Do That.
Dude, that was fucking Wario. You met Wario.
this post is wild
Today a traditionally published author emailed me a list of helpful suggestions about getting published.
Their biggest piece of advice: Remove the main gay romance that is central to the plot.
Thread.

Still unpublished, but you can read the first chapter of Echo of the Larkspur right here: https://aughtpunk.com/echo-of-the-larkspur/
So, it turns out I did post on Tumblr about the terrible male author that told me to Un-Queer my book! I just forgot. Hey, it’s been a long…eight years? Jeez.
Well, if you’re reading this post from the present/future I’ll have you know I decided to self-publish my novel, and you can preorder it now!
And for those wondering, in the years between this post and now I went back and made the book gayer and more diverse out of spite.

Y'all, I'm not sure where we lost track of this, but BDSM should leave you feeling good. If it leaves you feeling terrible about yourself, or about what happened, there's a problem.
Tired of explaining to my college peers that yes, actually art history is essential knowledge for anyone who is ever in charge of designing concept art for pretty much anything.
"but I'll work on sci fi and futuristic shit" ALL THE MORE REASON!! TO KNOW YOUR ART HISTORY!!! art history is all about how historical context and background affects the aesthetic trends of the time. Therefore they help you think of how the context of your fictional words affects the aesthetic trends within it. It's really not that hard to comprehend
And since I brought forward the word futuristic ☝️🤓 futurism as an art current was a product of fascism. Which is why it's a neat inspiration if you want to stylize violent and oppressive worlds that are seemingly innocently cool to the naked eye. Rococo is also great for stories set up in worlds with economical disparity that center the aristocracy. Art Nouveau works perfect for societies that value nature and center their lifestyles around it, so on.
Point is if you want to make concept art that feels fresh, innovative, and coherent to the universe you're representing you gotta at least know why other things in the past have felt fresh, innovative and coherent to their context.
