1/3 Fewer Cries Than The Leg

My inbox is where chainmail goes to die, and I don’t tag people in memes. Therese, Swedish, genderqueer and bi, prefer she/her pronouns. Trying to spread kindness and not wank. I tag fandoms, ships and NSFW, but not characters or spoilers.

The thing about sewing is that, at some point, you realize that you can do ANYTHING and no one can stop you. You can put pockets in everything. You can put extra pockets in everything. You can get some tacky dayglo pink fake fur and make it into a skirt and put extra pockets in that and sew yourself a silk velvet button up shirt with extra pockets. No one can stop you you’ve become too powerful for the fashion industry to control. 

I’m laughing cause this is hilarious, they turned of messaging after I called them out. But for those of you not in the know let me explain how gift card scams work.

If someone is offering to give you money, great!! There are a few ways to stay safe. Apps like PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay Cash, and internal banking transfers are all safe ways to do this although PayPal is generally a good way since you don’t need to give any personal info other than an email.

A scammer will ask you to purchase a gift card for them, and this is your first clue there is something phishy going on. If some one is genuinely trying to give you money they will not ask you to purchase something in order for that money to get to you.

If you purchase the gift card, they’ll ask you for the number on the card so they can refill it for you and give you the promised money. In a scam they will take all the money out of the card you purchased and then disappear.

I deal with this a lot at work. People calling folks and telling them their online accounts are locked and they need to purchase a gift card so they can pay to unlock them. It’s all bullshit. Please do not get wrapped up in the promise of money or in the fear or your accounts or devices not working. Think rationally, and if someone asks you to buy something so they can give you what they promised (money, unlocking your account, return of digital property) don’t do it.

Stay safe friends.

I used to get in trouble with my mentor in undergrad because I was obsessed with this style of chair and every period piece where it would fit, I’d cram one into my scene design. If I knew a three-person one existed my 21-year-old brain would have exploded in joy.

Aziraphale, after discussing modern slang with the Them: I have decided that I am in fact a snack. People are just not hungry.
Crowley, under his breath: I’m fucking starving.

Aziraphale: What’s that, dear?

Crowley: Noth-

Adam: He said he’s fucking starving.

Aziraphale, brightening: Well then, let’s get brunch! I’m feeling brioche…

Crowley: [gesturing helplessly at Aziraphale’s retreating back]

The Them: [shaking their heads in sympathy]

From the DVD commentary, episode 3:  

Douglas Mackinnon: Little bit of magic. If you’re careful and you look at the beginning of that shot you’ll discover that Aziraphale isn’t in the car. And then suddenly he is.

Neil Gaiman: Did we magically CGI him or was he just sort of bending down?

Douglas Mackinnon: We CGIed him out. And the other thing that we should know about this car is that the morning that we shot this we - well it was David Tennant - broke the car. He broke the door on Aziraphale’s side, so you couldn’t get in or out of it anymore. It was stuck in, and there was actually a broken window.

Neil Gaiman: Which we had to CGI out.

Douglas Mackinnon: Yeah. So, at the end of the scene - although Aziraphale appears to get out of the car - he can’t.

Neil Gaiman: Because he couldn’t open or close the door.

Douglas Mackinnon: It was a directing cleverness to get him out.

Of course David Tennant accidentally broke the vintage Bentley. Of course he did.

It wasn’t the vintage Bentley, it was the non working Bentley frame, the one they blew up in episode 6.

No, the one David broke was the real one. It was repaired…

At the Ineffable Con, the owner of the Bentley talked about this.

(The car is called Mary, and she's gorgeous.)
