Bad News. Again.

Remember when I said that the replacement computer had a dying hard drive like a time bomb? It went off.

The bloody thing won’t even start up thanks to the hard drive fucking something up, so that computer is fucked. Don’t even know if it can be repaired.

As of right now, I have no idea when I can come back online. Just like last time, I’ll TRY to get on Tumblr each day, but I can’t promise anything.

I’ll update key personnel when I know more. Here’s to hoping I can get a computer back soon...

Oh, and if you wanna keep in touch with me, lemmie know via inbox. I’d prefer to text if you’re willing to give me your phone number, but I’ll manage with asks if you’d prefer that.

For those of you who see this: Stay safe, take care of yourself, and have a wonderful night.

Frat DnD Highlights 2

Cleric: I toss the light-stone into the crypt! *Rolls 20*
Me: You have spent entirely too much time skipping rocks, as such you rebound the rock against three pillars and two skeletons before it comes to a clean stop in the center of the room.
Cleric: ...So I can see them all?
Me: Yes.
---------
Fighter: I WANT TO SING 'EVERY TIME WE TOUCH' AS WE CHARGE INTO BATTLE!
Me: You're not a bard, but screw it roll Performance.
Fighter: OKAY. *Mediocre roll*
Me: Well you don't exactly remember the words but you can hum furiously while fighting.
Fighter: AWESOME.
-----------
All The Dwarves: So...can we use the Elf as a weapon?
Me: ...Hey Elf what's your Armor Class?
---------
Cleric: I want to bless the bomb.
Me: The bomb that was made illegally by an alchemist who clearly was no bomb expert and hastily threw something together in twelve hours?
Cleric: Which is why I want to bless the damn thing.
----------
Me: You stare into the Skeleton Warrior's empty eye sockets and see only the cold black abyssial Void staring back at you.
Fighter: I WANNA INTIMIDATE IT.
Me: Alright intimidating a skeleton that's-
Fighter: NO! I wanna intimidate the Void.
Me: ...The cold black unfeeling existential darkness?
Fighter: Yeah that.
Me: Fuck it why not.
Fighter: *nat 20*
Me: .........You stare into the Abyss and it absolutely stares back. Given your ever-shifting mental state you don't take in the abstract and horrifying nature of oblivion but rather stand defiantly, blatantly giving shape to the shapeless and a name to something that should not be named. At the End of All Things something turns, being actively defied by a mortal, and it hesitates. It cannot stand even an unwitting rival and it will react accordingly - because a primal force made afraid is a terrible sight to behold.
Fighter: So I intimidate it?
Me: Yup.
Fighter: Awesome.
Cleric: Oh my god we are going to die.
--------------
Me: The ghouls retreat into their tunnel.
Cleric: Well if ever there was a time for that bomb, let's seal them in!
Me: Alright let's see how this thing goes. *Nat 20*
Me: *sets up Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture Finale*
Me: The alchemist, having known nothing about proper explosives, pretty much tossed in every volatile horrible thing he could into the 'bomb.' And as your God looks favorably on grandstanding gestures of epic stupidity, he extends his mighty claw down to bless this bomb. You hear a distant roar and a blinding light before the cleansing fire erupts through the Ghoul Tunnels. Above ground, a number of graves explode outward while dozens of ghoul corpses charred beyond recognition fall and litter the graveyard while ash quietly falls in the aftermath.
Cleric: Holy shit we have another one of those.
-------------
Fighter: Rob him!
Cleric: No! He'll kill the HELL out of us.
Fighter: Hey if you're going to do something stupid at least see it through like I do!
------------
Cleric, Elf, and Dwarf: ...So to appease the Void we're gonna sacrifice the Fighter.
Me: ...Yeah alright make the rolls.
Fighter: *is murdered in his sleep*
Cleric, Elf, and Dwarf: Wow that was....well, we're all in tender emotional states. See you next time. *they exit*
Me: ...Hey, Fighter.
Fighter: Sup.
Me: ...Want to be the Avatar of the Void and fuck shit up on a global scale?
Fighter: Would it be me doing more stupid shit with no reason with godlike powers?
Me: Pretty much.
Fighter: I love you Skippy.

If your idea of feminism doesn’t include the “sluts” who take selfies in the underwear, who work in the porn industry, and who have multiple sexual partners because you think you’re better than them then please get out of my face because you’re just as sexist as the people who think that women belong in the kitchen.

It slows your breathing and reduces brain activity to such an extent that Weightless, written by Manchester band Marconi Union, is said to be one of the ‘most relaxing songs ever’.

The eight-minute track is so effective at inducing sleep, motorists have now been warned they should not listen to it whilst driving.

The band worked with sound therapists to get advice on how to make the most effective use of harmonies, rhythms and bass lines. The result on listeners is a slowing of the heart rate, reduced blood pressure and lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol.

Scientists played the song to 40 women and found it to be more effective at helping them relax than songs by Enya, Mozart and Coldplay, all considered as very relaxing musicians. [x]

Axent Wear Headphones

Price: $150

These interesting cat headphones give you the option of either listening in privacy or broadcasting to your friends via the cat ear external speakers. Gimmicky or not, it’s an interesting device though the price tag may not be justified for something that would most likely draw unwanted attention.

so i wore my my marvel superheroes sweater to disneyland today and the old man who scanned my pass at the front gate saw it and was like ‘hey, marvel! that’s ours now!’ with this huge grin on his face and then his voice got really serious and he said ‘next: the world.

TUMBLR PROF ANNOUNCEMENT: If you are trans or nonbinary and you are in the same situation as the student above, email your professors before class starts. I understand that it might be uncomfortable, but generally professors are absolutely happy to accommodate you. I know I always will be!

If your professor does not respond positively, contact the Dean or the campus LGBT+ resource center with a copy of the email and show them that you are concerned about gender discrimination in the classroom. 

Also this is a link to the template I used to write this email, and I’ve seen another similar template going around, and this was extremely helpful.

just a reminder that this is an option for you folks! i did it and all my teachers replied within a few hours saying that it was okay. you can do this! school does not have to be painful.
