Folks, there’s so much wonderful stuff on the Fediverse. Case in point, I found this:

Phil: Oh, there's the Techno Memorial. This is really nice.
Quackity: [Gasps] That's sweet dude, that looks so nice. 🥹 Dude, I always look back on that clip of Technoblade– There's two clips I have with Technoblade that I absolutely love watching–
Phil: About the orphans?
Quackity: Yeah, he's like: "I'm the second worst thing to happen to orphans" and I'm like, "What's the first thing?" he's like, "Quackity. They weren't always orphans."
Phil: Yeah, that's a classic.
god forbid 5000 year old girls do anything
I’m at a sociology conference and just attended a memorial for one of the giants of our field, and one of the panelists told this story…he was at a meeting with this guy, who he got his PhD under and had a long standing relationship with, and he was bemoaning the current state of the world, and he asked this old professor, “how can you be so optimistic? I can’t ever be anything but a pessimist.”
and the old professor said, “you little fucker, I’m going to make a statement and then I’m going to take you out to the parking lot and beat your ass. What good does your pessimism do?”
and that really struck me. not the least because I also knew this old professor and he very rarely swore, so I know this was something he was really worked up about. what good does your pessimism do? What GOOD does your pessimism DO. I’ll be thinking about that for awhile.
You can only reblog this today.

Hey i’m a fashion design student so i have tons and tons of pdfs and docs with basic sewing techniques, pattern how-tos, and resources for fabric and trims. I’ve compiled it all into a shareable folder for anyone who wants to look into sewing and making their own clothing. I’ll be adding to this folder whenever i come across new resources

Have you taken all your meds?
If the answer is "All good," feel free to keep scrolling!

i like working at plant store. sometimes you ring up someone and there's a slug on their plant and so you're like "Oh haha you've got a friend there let me get that for you" and you put the slug on your hand for safekeeping but then its really busy and you dont have time to take the slug outside before the next customer in line so you just have a slug chilling on your hand for 15 minutes. really makes you feel at peace with nature. also it means sometimes i get to say my favorite line which is "would you like this free slug with your purchase"
