weekly comic week 16 . first time getting sick in 5 years ihave no idea what it was
it's dawned on me that no one can stop me from my childhood dream of having a bed tent
i could at last fulfill my deep-rooted need to be Enclosed
this barbie contracts dysentery on the oregon trail
These appeal to my need for creature comforts
I am a Creature and I want to crawl into a little Cave and Snooze or perhaps Hibernate
Box beds used to be a thing! We need to bring them back.
Like IKEA wouldn't be so ready to flatpack this shit.
One of my friends in HS had something very much like this, except it was built into the wall of his bedroom and had shelves all along the inside. It had cute little pocket doors. I was obsessed with it. He was always toasty warm even after the wood stove burned down.
(Most of the ppl I knew in HS heated their homes at least part time with wood stoves bc the electric goes out in the mountains and sometimes you can't get oil delivery for weeks in the winter.)

“me saw who! me saw who!!!”
I cannot stop watching this video. It’s fucking hilarious and I’ve watching it’s approximately 20 times already
One of my favourite english words is "lackluster". It combines the beautiful, resonant, historical kind of air, an ancient and poetic sort of weight and colour, and the absolute baby brain logic of equating something with energy, conviction and vibrancy with something being shiny. Like yeah dude I saw your recital and I don't want to be too harsh but it was so inspid and uninspired that it was like looking at an object that isn't even sparkly. 3/10 would not put into my mouth again.
About the AO3 "No Guest Comments for a while" warning
If you're not following any of AO3's social media accounts you might be in the dark as to what kind of "spam comments" have engendered this banner at the top of the site:
These spam comments have been posted about a great deal on the AO3 subreddit for the past couple of days. Initially they comprised a bunch of guest (logged out users) bot comments that insulted authors by suggesting they were using AI and not writing their own fics. Some examples, from the subreddit:
But it then escalated to outright graphic porn images and gifs being posted in comments, again by logged out 'Guest' accounts. Obviously, I'm not going to give examples of those, but between these two bot infestations, AO3 has clearly decided to act and has temporarily closed the ability to post comments for users who are not logged in with an AO3 account.
Unfortunately, this means that genuine readers who don't have an AO3 account won't be able to leave comments on fics that they enjoy.
If you are a genuine reader who doesn't yet have an AO3 account, I strongly suggest getting yourself on the waiting list for one. More and more AO3 authors are now locking their fics down to registered users only - either due to these bot comments or concerns about AI scraping their work - which means you're probably missing out on a lot of great stuff.
Hopefully guest commenting will be enabled again at some point soon, but I suggest not waiting until then. Get yourself on that list.
Wait times are going to be longer than usual at the moment, due to the current Wattpad purge [info on Fanlore | Wattpad subreddit thread], but if you're in line, then your invite will come through eventually.
Update: There's now a Megathread about this on the AO3 subreddit.
Personally I think that Azula should have been redeemed simply so that she can become Zuko's horrible little advisor who whispers evil little plans to him so that he can do the exact opposite
#the only reason she gets this job is bc he doesnt trust her anywhere else in the palace#its like enrichment for manipulative girls#also so that he can set her on asshole deligates like a rabid little lapdog#she just has mean fuckin pomeranian energy that thing bites then lights you on fire w flames so hot theyre cold#i think their sibling dynamic could be sooo fucking funny its insane (@madscientistenthusiast)
Zuko doesn't like instilling fear in people as the Fire Lord because it makes him feel too much like Ozai but sometimes motherfuckers NEED to be rattled so they don't try anything. Which is where Azula comes in. It's a win/win for everyone except for the poor sucker Azula has set her sights on
fandom tumblr was another casualty of streaming services. we used to be on here posting about the episodes that were coming out weekly and posting gifs and writing insane shit about the tv shows we liked. now a new season of a show will drop and we’ll talk about it for a week. two weeks tops. and then that show will leave collectively conscious for 1+ year till the next season drops. there’s a reason succession sundays was a blast on here
we used to have real television
Yes this poll is very biased in favor of North America lol

Ending the stigma of drug use will save lives.
“Never Use Alone” is a number you can call when you have no choice but to use when you’re alone.
If you call (800) 484-3731, an operator will answer your call, and ask for your first name, location and whether you have any allergies, or medical conditions. After you’ve given us this information you can go ahead and inject your substance. After you’ve ingested the substance, we will continue communicating with you. If you do not respond after 30-45 seconds, we will notify emergency services of a possible overdose at the location you’ve given us.
We will never shame you, judge you, or preach at you to quit. If you are ready to quit though, we have treatment resources for every state in the US. Regardless if you have insurance, or not. We will do our best to connect you with the help you need. please call. We are on standby.

This seems like a solid and real thing, I did my best to vet them and found their FB: https://www.facebook.com/Neverusealone/
They also seem to help with getting Narcan.
holy shit this can actually save Real Lives like dudes this isn’t a joke and isn’t to be passed off
Never Use Alone doesn’t have an app (yet) but there are two apps that can be used all over the world. One that is available only on iOS last time I checked is The Canary Overdose prevention app and the other is Be Safe by The Brave Coop. They are both very easy to use.
from this reddit thread that has a lot of people talking about the hotline, including sharing their own experiences. additionally, it looks like there are also similar overdose prevention hotlines in other countries now, such as canada and scotland
For those in the notes wondering about their cop policy, here’s what they say on their website’s FAQ:
All operators are harm reductionists. Our goal is to reduce harm, not increase it, by getting you arrested. Our hope is that only EMS responds, but the truth is, we cannot guarantee that. To reduce the chances of the police showing up with EMS, when we call EMS, we report it as an “unresponsive person”, rather than an “overdose”. When you call 911 and report an “overdose”, a lot of times, police will automatically respond to those calls. So, by reporting it as an “unresponsive person” it reduces the chances of police responding.
They also say that all of their volunteers have personally experience with substance use, and that they do not accept volunteers employed by addiction treatment centers.
