No One Talk To Me Ever Again I Have Died One Hundred Times Over

Protect Public Libraries

Some things that you should know about Grant O'Brien and Ally Beardsley's Kickstarted film The Disruptors:

Grant plays a rideshare driver who scams his clients, who ultimately sets his sights on scamming a billionaire into investing in a fake startup.

Ally plays an agoraphobic hacker.

Marc Evan Jackson plays the billionaire, in what is honestly a terrifying performance.

It's extraordinarily well-written and acted, and BEAUTIFULLY shot and edited, especially relative to the budget.

They were unable to find a distributor or get a festival to pick it up, but Dropout fans are legion! We can make this movie a sensation! Please reblog this.

listen. aging into your thirties rocks. yes your joints get a little creaky. yes you can’t sleep in a pretzel on the floor anymore after a concert or a convention. and you lose some friends. but the thing is that you sort out who your real friends are and you sort out who you really are. and you get to see your friends settling into careers they like, and adopt new dogs and cats, and you find a job you can stand, and get really good at arts and crafts, and maybe that book you loved as a kid gets a movie deal and it doesn’t suck, and you learn to like new food and bake your own bread, and you realize that the great portfolio of self harm scars you all used to curate are going white with age and not updated, and half your friends are a different gender now and so much happier and maybe you are too, and you know who you are, and that it’s a journey and not a revelation. it’s a direction you’re headed, and you’re enjoying the trip.

reaching your 30′s rocks. and i’m hearing good things about what comes next, too.

Twitch Streamer Mary Ann Skuttle AU

She almost exclusively plays video games, tho sometimes she reviews the quality and cuteness of plushies. Sometimes she updates people on her quokki pet's level or how her personal AC Island looks, or her longest running Stardew Farm. (Maru IS her favorite Stardew marriageable NPC because it reminds her of her "loser boyfriend".)

Sometimes she gets her friends to play games with her on stream, or they're just in the background hanging out. Once when a game comes out that Mary Ann is legit excited for (in her own way) everyone gathers in a little watch party in the background with snacks as they settle in for the Marathon stream about to happen.

If she misses some streams she probably tosses out a simple update about her and her friends being on a quest or something similar that she implies is kinda lame. Her watchers KNOW she's an adventurer but there is never any elaboration.

They also know she has a boyfriend but known VERY little about him.

Loser Boyfriend™️ Confirmed Facts

1. Loser

2. His quokki pets gameplay is trash

3. Also an adventurer ig

4. Plays drums sometimes

5. They officially met when she curb-stomped his ass at a sports tryouts and he got mad. (No elaboration)

6. He made her a switch capable of running ROMhacks and mods.

7. Half-orc. The only times they have ever seen him is once or twice when he wordlessly hands her a mango soda from off screen. They have an entire emote of his hand with the soda bottle they spam sometimes. (#bottleboi)

Which is to say when Gorgug shows up in the background of the stream one day, cause Mary Ann rearranged or was streaming from somewhere else temporarily, people start freaking out.

Mary Ann notices but only comments "yeah, that's my loser boyfriend. Don't worry about it."

THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE MARY ANN!!!

THAT'S GORGUG THISTLESPRING, FAMOUS 4X WORLD SAVING RENOWN ADVENTURER BEFORE HE EVEN FINISHED HIGHSCHOOL, THE FIRST EVER BARBIFICER IN THE WORLD, AND GODDAMN FAMOUS ROCK STAR.

YOU CALL HIM YOUR LOSER BOYFRIEND?????

"His quokki pets gameplay is trash."

I don't live in Missouri anymore (I went to college in the state) but I saw this and had to reblog. Public libraries are so important for so many people. Students, parents, kids, the elderly, and anyone who needs a computer but can't afford one. Please please please do your part in helping.

Missouri Citizens - Call to Restore State Aid for Libraries

A post I made a few days ago about the Missouri Legislature’s proposal to defund public libraries really blew up.

I’m happy to have helped spread the word about this issue as it’s not getting enough mainstream attention.  But frustrated at the tone of the original post and the thought that it’s become a part of many people’s daily doomscroll.

This is bad, but there are things we all can and should do to make it better.

If you are a Missouri citizen, please go here and fill out the short form.  It will use your address to contact your state senator about reinstating the full State Aid funding to Missouri’s libraries.  You can also customize the message and I encourage you to do so.

If you have time and energy, consider calling your senator’s office as well.  You can find out who your representatives are and find their contact information here.  A short phone call letting them know you are a constituent and this issue is important to you can do a lot of good.

Ignore the naysayers who claim that contacting your representatives is a waste of time.  I know people who intern in these offices and collect information on what the public contacts their representatives about.  If enough people call about the same issue, it raises the profile of that issue on their agenda.  It can make a difference, especially in a case like this where the mainstream media is not focusing on the story.

Please take a few minutes of your time if you are a Missourian to make your voice heard on the importance of libraries.  And please reblog and spread the word even if you’re not a Missourian.  With your help, maybe we won’t have to fight this fight in your homestate as well.  Thank you.
