(Sound on.) We’re all doomed.
Exercises for all the homies who want to have a long career drawing.
The true problem with being an artist and drawing all day (as I wanted my whole life) is that human backs are not designed to hold that position, so it is very common for artists and designers to have really stiff shoulder blades, creating a chain of muscle strain towards the arm AND the back… and a lot of pain.
These are some physical exercises for artists and honestly anyone who works at a desk.

the other day I imagined a character who’s a eunuch and has to deal with everyone assuming that this makes him inherently good at scheming and/or guarding concubines
King: “—and so, you see, it’s looking more and more like war is going to be inevitable. I don’t know what to do. I don’t know who to trust. And so I must turn to you, my most trusted advisor, to give me guidance.”
Eunuch: “Jeez. I dunno. That sounds scary.”
King: “Have you no advice for me at all? The fate of my kingdom lies in your hands!”
Eunuch: “Man, I was an English major. I don’t know what you expect of me.”
King: “But you… but your… you know…”
Eunuch: “The castration didn’t come with a poli sci degree, believe it or not.”

wait help the reverse is even funnier
King: “And as a wedding gift, in appreciation for your years of loyal service, I will bestow you a title and modest land holdings.”
Advisor: “Thank you… that’s wonderfully generous.”
King: “Your bride must be an exceptional woman. Not many would be willing to overlook your… shortcomings.”
Advisor: “…um, ha, yeah, she’s pretty great. I’m very lucky that she’s so crazy about me.”
King: “Yes indeed. Though I have heard that your sort is often wildly popular with the gentler sex. I suppose that makes sense… an artisan with limited tools must needs be creative with what he has to work with!”
Advisor: “I… right. Hm.”
King: “Does she mourn the fact that you will never be able to give her a child? Or is she relieved to be spared the ravages of pregnancy?”
Advisor: “My liege?”
King: “Of course, if you plan to adopt, I will gladly recognize the child as your rightful heir.”
Advisor: “I’m sorry, do you think I’m sterile or something?”
King: “….well… I just assumed you would be, because of the… ahem.”
King: [mimes scissors cutting through the air]
Advisor: “You think I’m a eunuch?”
King: “…aren’t you?”
Advisor: “No????”
King: “But… you’re so good at scheming…”
Advisor: “Yes, I have a master’s degree in political science and skullduggery, I studied hard.”
King: “And so effete—”
Advisor: “What??? I’m quite masculine…”
King: [grimaces and wobbles hand]
Advisor: “Just because I bathe—”

okay so I'm having a debate with my flatmates
are these all different things and if so what do you call them
[Three images of warm outer layers of the type originally designed to pair with sweats over top athletic wear.
The first has a zipper in front, side pockets, and a hood.
The second has a pocket that covers the front with openings on each side, a hood, and pulls on over the head.
The third has no pockets or hood, and pulls on over the head.
End ID.]

Was watching the new Dimension 20, Titan Takedown, with @lynati and found that someone is credited as "Renesme Fakename"
Okay, that is the funniest possible last name someone could have, and I am desperately hoping it's their legal name.

Expelled from Word, he is now trying to contact you through other programs...
Hey i’m a fashion design student so i have tons and tons of pdfs and docs with basic sewing techniques, pattern how-tos, and resources for fabric and trims. I’ve compiled it all into a shareable folder for anyone who wants to look into sewing and making their own clothing. I’ll be adding to this folder whenever i come across new resources

Gordon Tootoosis, Aboriginal Canadian actor, activist, and band chief of Cree and Iyarhe Nakoda descent, as Cecil Delaronde in Canadian TV series Blackstone.
[image description: two stills of Gordon Tootoosis, captioned, “Leadership is about submission to duty, not elevation to power.” end description.]
This is one of the most profound statements on leadership I’ve encountered in a long time, and it really landed a hit on me. It’s difficult to discuss without getting a little weird about it, but for a long time I’ve been of the mind that the privilege of having a large readership implies the duty of giving back in specific ways – I just never thought of it in terms of leadership as submission to duty.

For those who are not familiar, the Death Note is a supernatural notebook from the titular manga and anime. The basic rules of the book are as follows:
- If someone writes the name of another person in the book while visualizing their face, that person will die.
- The time, cause, and circumstances of death can be specified within reason.
- If details are not specified or are not possible, the victim will die of a heart attack.
- If the owner gives up the book, they lose all their memories of owning it.
For the sake of the poll, if more than one motivation applies, select the most important one. The definition of the options and the specifics of the fantasy are not particularly important here, I am mostly interested in the moral stances and rationale of other people.

Willis convincing Bruce to let him visit not only to reconnect with Jason but also as a ploy to get into Bruce’s pants. Constantly putting on the charms rizzing him up convincing him to let him stay for dinner…convincing him to let him stay the night
Willis had the numbers of a doctor, Sandra Wusan, and an international spy in his contacts and he was just some normal ass guy who worked as a goon. We can only assume he was a charisma god
I’ve realized this crack au inevitably turns into a Jason lives au because if Willis is around and trying to be a positive part of Jason’s life that means:
- Jason has an easier time processing Catherine’s death because Willis is alive and there mourning with him and thus probably doesn’t spiral ass hard
- if Jason and Bruce fall out Jason has someone in his corner who isn’t directly connected to Bruce to vent to and doesn’t feel so alone that he goes running across the world to find his mother
- if Jason does find out about Sheila Willis is there to intercept him and tell him what she’s actually like
Willis, Bruce, and Jason in a twisted version of Mama Mia. Bruce invites a recently released Willis to help him plan Jason's birthday/graduation from middle school/ etc. They do not get along. Jason uses this to play them off each other because he's 15 and a brat.
Bruce decides to be "nice" (nice to Jason and mean to the guy who is stealing his kid's attention) and tells an employee to find Jason's birth mom and invite her. Overworked Wayne Employee decides it's too hard to figure out and just invites all of Willis's rolodex of Violent Vicious Women (yes, he does steal Willis' little black book: he's a gothamite).
So day of the party Bruce and Willis realize that All Of Willis' Ex's are insane and violent and now around Jason and they have to work together to keep them from causing damage. (The Spy is using this to steal info from a classmate's parent. Shiva is there to kill a politician. Sheila is trying to play Joker against the Mob so she can move back into town without being killed for that botched back alley abortion that killed a mobster's girl. And there are a few others whose names don't start with S but were in the address book.)
Now. Bruce can't actually say anything about Willis' taste in women because he doesn't want to be too much of a hypocrite. In fact, he's a little concerned that so many of them seem like women he would date. They work together so that neither of them are left alone with the women in question. And Willis is VERY charming while they work.
Bruce realizes too late that it isn't the potential moms he needed to worry about.
Climax when Sheila's deal goes wrong and Joker takes Jason captive. Willis shows how competent he is when he kills Joker and saves Jason. Police take him into custody afterwards. Bruce has to decide if he's going to send lawyers in and try to help.
One of the Ex's comes up afterwards and offers Bruce a consoling pat on the back.
"I recognize that look" She says, "That's the look of someone about to get into trouble chasing Willis."
Bruce buries his face in his hands.
