Hello Lovely People! :) I just started my first Etsy shop for the embroideries i make by hand. I’d greatly appreciate if you gave it a look or reblogged this post. I will put more listings up this week. cheers <3 btw. you can find more embroideries of mine on instagram: art.embroidery
back in my day we didn’t call it “shitposting”, we called it “nightblogging” and blamed the australians
I’ve been on this god forsaken website for too long.
ok there is a difference between nightblogging and shitposting nightblogging is like “what if apples screamed when we bit them?” shitposting is like “a crisp one donger bill”. nightblogging has more of a focus on theoreticals, especially in stating absurd thoughts in normal ways. shit posting is more often the opposite, stating normal things in ways that make them absurd. “a crisp one dollar bill” isn’t funny or unusual, but replacing “dollar” with the absurdist internet word “donger” is what makes it funny & thus a shitpost. it’s not necessarily that one is more coherent, but that they’re differentiated both by form and by lexicon. nightblogging is surrealism, shitposting is dada
that makes so much sense, i understood all of it, completely and totally changed my views of thinking
turn on the sound
Best thing that’s happened to me all day
Look for the helpers.
Share the shit out of this. Share the ever-loving shit out of this. The UK is facing a vote with a party that has been very vocal about fucking over the homeless. Remind them why this policy is trash. Raise a huge swell of sympathy. Make it political suicide to go ahead with their plans.

Parallel Earth.
A few weeks ago, we exhibited at Emerald City Comicon. Typically when we attend conventions, we try to create some spectacle that captures people’s attention and sells games. Like the time we brought a marching band to PAX Australia.
At ECCC, we set up a “Pay What You Want” booth and encouraged people to give us any amount of money in exchange for our games. We put games on a table, set up some signs, stood off to the side, and waited to see what would happen.
We brought 2000 games. Before the convention began, we took bets on what would happen:
- Tom thought we’d sell out in a few hours.
- Alex thought we’d run out on the of the second day of the con.
- Trin thought that we would not run out of games because we are no longer cool or relevant.
- Jenn got a fever and didn’t know what was happening.
We were all wrong.
The doors opened, and attendees swarmed the booth. Within five minutes attendees realized they could just take games and walk away. A small group grabbed armfuls of free games and left, but most people paid something. Within an hour, the booth looked like this:
We ran out of games in 51 minutes.and made $8042.48, or 18.7% of the games’ retail value. In other words, we lost $685.44 per minute.
Attendees put lots of other stuff in the payment box too.
Some things you put in our box:
- Five Canadian Dollars ($3.72 USD)
- Ten Euros ($10.66 USD)
- Eighty Philippine Pesos ($1.59 USD)
- One Chinese Yuan ($0.14 USD)
- One Cubone Pokemon Card, XY Breakthrough (Avg price - $0.68 USD)
- One Magic: The Gathering Eternal Masters booster pack wrapper (No Value)
- One handwritten “Any Pizza Free” and “Twisted Flicks + KPC” Coupon from a Papa Murphy’s in Kirkland, WA (Estimated Value $25.00 USD)
- One $1 Bill folded into a bowtie ($1.00 USD)
- One “FeelTheBurn.org” $1 bill. ($1.00 USD)
- Two halves of a $1 bill ($1.00 USD )
Once we sold out, we had to figure out what to do with our booth space.
On Saturday, we gave our space to artists who weren’t able to get a table at the con. People showed up to exhibit cosplay horns, board games, recycled journals, and comic art.
On the last day of the con, we set up a station for mailing letters to representatives.
We provided pens, paper, postage, envelopes, writing tips, and the address of every US Senator.
Over 200 letters were written by con attendees, including the most bad ass Imperator Furiosa cosplayer we’ve ever seen.
We’re still waiting on Immortan Trump’s response.
Someone: why do you like girls
Me: …have u seen a girl
Do you write fics/drabbles/headcanons for the Skam fandom? Then this could be the place for you!
Requirements to join the net:
- Be a writer in the Skam fandom (whether you post on tumblr or AO3 or both!)
- Reblog this post
- Fill in this brief typeform!
- Follow the net blog
What would you get from joining such a net?
- A place to bounce ideas back and forth with other writers
- A place to squeal about Skam with other big fans and the chance to make some new friends
- Potential beta readers for when you can’t look at your own writing a second longer
- A network tag to share all your writing in (much easier than tagging hundreds of people in a post!)
- Potentially a whatsapp group chat if you guys want it
Depending how many responses this gets I’m hoping to start accepting people in early June.
Happy writing!
