I am once again thinking about digging holes

It's so fucked up that digging a bunch of holes works so well at reversing desertification

I hate that so much discourse into fighting climate change is talking about bioenginerring a special kind of seaweed that removes microplastics or whatever other venture-capital-viable startup idea when we have known for forever about shit like digging crescent shaped holes to catch rainwater and turning barren land hospitable

They should invent a new kind of body that doesn't do that

Tweets from two sisters in Gaza. One day after doing a birthday party for her 5-year-old daughter with a cupcake, Doaa and another one of her daughters, 7-year-old Sham, were killed by an Israeli airstrike

sometimes I remember “I don’t need a first aid kit because I don’t do anything dangerous” and the demon comes back

I don’t cook I don’t use tools of any kind I don’t walk up and down stairs I don’t walk on slick surfaces I don’t have windows I don’t encounter animals I don’t own anything made of glass I don’t ride a bike or drive a car or use public transportation I am immune to natural disasters my skin is impenetrable I have perfect balance I am unaffected by violence or human accident I have never seen a nail and I don’t even get paper cuts

worst part about getting angry is how much it makes you want to be mean

sorry i said something dickish. a few mildly frustrating things happened to me in succession and it turned me evil

Elliott from Stardew Valley in Baldur's Gate 3 🪶

In honor of Stardew Valley's recently released 1.6 update I created my favorite bachelor, Elliott, in BG3! ✨

The main thing missing is his iconic green tie but I couldn't find a good enough equivalent. 😭

I've seen a lot of different interpretations of Elliott but this is just how I see him in my mind's eye (more or less - there is only so much I can convey in a video game)!

I've been playing the update non stop since it came out so my sdv brain rot is in full force haha I might do this with the other bachelors and bachelorettes too! I already have some ideas for Sebastian... 🤔

EDIT: Here is a post I made with the mods and slider settings to get Elliott in your game 🤍

EDIT: I made Sebastian!

i must not stir the pot. stirring the pot is the notifications-killer. participation in the discourse is the little-death that brings total activity obliteration. i will face the bad opinions on the internet. i will permit them to pass over me and through me. and when they have gone past, i will turn the block button onto their source. where the discourse has come from there will be nothing. only i will remain.

3 signs a wizard has inflicted a curse on you:

If you're lamenting the fact that you used to be able to shoot through a 500-page novel in like a day when you were in middle school and now you can't, it's worth bearing in mind that a big part of that is because when you were in middle school, your reading comprehension sucked. Yes, mental health and the stresses of adult life can definitely be factors, but it's also the case that reading is typically more effortful as an adult because you've learned to Ponder The Implications. The material isn't just skimming over the surface of your brain anymore, and some of the spoons you used to spend on maximising your daily page count are now spent on actually thinking about what you're reading!

Reading as a kid: "I can tell that this is supposed to be an emotionally moving ending, but I genuinely cannot remember who two-thirds of these characters are."

Reading as an adult: *reads a paragraph* *pauses* *reads the same paragraph again* *flips back and re-reads the preceding page to make sure you didn't misunderstand something* *stares into space for ten minutes as the Implications sink in*

a new concept: idiot academia

where u have book smarts but have absolutely no common sense

Why are you hiding this in the tags. Truth should never hide in the tags.

Idiot academia fashion- hawaiian shirts buttoned up underneath a blazer, colorful pants and ties, party hats.

Also three inch red heels and a slightly-longer-than-mid-thigh-skirt that you think looks professional because you’re 23 but actually isn’t the best outfit choice for teaching undergrads.

(It’s me. I did that.)
