IMPORTANT REMINDER TO MY EUROPEAN FOLLOWERS AND OTHER TUMBLR DENIZENS FROM AN AMERICAN DESERT-DWELLER:
Climate change is a bitch and summer is coming. If you don’t already have an air conditioner and/or fans, NOW is the time to get them.
THINGS YOU SHOULD BE SHOPPING FOR NOW:
—clothes made of cotton or linen
—air conditioner
—fans
—frozen meals that can be cooked in the microwave
—potable bottled water; you want five days’ worth per person and pet in your household
—bottled fruit juices; it does not matter if these are sugar-added because you’ll want the electrolytes
—electrolyte drinks
—electrolyte pills (you can get these online, I get mine from Amazon)
—popsicle molds to use with fruit and juice
—ice cube trays
—nonperishable salty snacks like peanuts
—one charger brick per adult in case of rolling blackouts or power outages; charge these at the beginning of May, and drain them via use once a month if they’re not needed
YOUR TO-DO LIST:
—check your home’s HVAC system if you didn’t do it at the beginning of winter. Make sure all the filters are clean and replace them if needed
—check the seals on your sinks and bathtub in case you have to run water to handle shortages
—make and freeze meals you can cook in the microwave or simply defrost. Remember to select light summer fare, not hearty winter soups and gravies
—purchase and freeze lunch meats and cheeses you can defrost and use this summer for sandwiches when it’s hot
—assemble your check-in list: elderly, pregnant, disabled, and immunocompromised friends and relatives who may struggle to get things they need when the heat wave hits. Have this list posted and ready to go through daily once the heat gets high. DON’T JUST ASSUME YOU WILL REMEMBER. WRITE IT ALL DOWN.
—create a list of emergency contacts in case of fire, heat stroke, and other heat-related emergencies. This should include your local version of 911 (I think in most of Europe it’s 112, but don’t rely on me as an American, LOOK IT UP NOW before you need it), your doctor’s phone number, and two emergency contacts. Keep it in a place where it can be easily found if someone needs to make these calls on your behalf.
—ask your doctor for an additional prescription for any medications you take, and fill it now. Extreme heat can cause disruptions in the supply chain. Make sure you cycle these meds; that’s to say, always use your oldest bottle first so you don’t end up with expired meds in an emergency.
—stock your first-aid kit. If you don’t have one, now is a good time to make one.
—if you own a car, get your yearly maintenance done now. You don’t want to be dealing with an inoperable vehicle if you need to evacuate.
Staying safe this summer starts now. Get your prep done.
#the heat retention in my flat is insane so im def gonna do some prep cause god#it gets so fucking hot in here#idk about portable acs though if anyone can give me some advice about those id be very grateful xx

There genuinely needs to be a support group for people who managed to move out of their parents house and then had to move back in due to circumstances

If you love someone's art
Someone's writing
whatever they do
if you love it and you're always checking for their new pic, their new comic, their new chapter
If you don't even need to bookmark their site, blog, page whatever because you know how to get there on instinct
and you have some dollars free
Look for their Ko-fi/Patreon.
Support. Creative. People.
They are out here MAKING THINGS for you to enjoy. They are entertaining you, touching your spirit, bringing you grief and joy and everything in between. Most of them aren't asking for much and most of them will keep doing it even without your dollar.
But if you can afford to support your favs DO IT. Not only will you have their unending gratitude, you will be helping to ensure they keep making the things. ♥

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????
I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.
Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

huge shout out to 3 days ago me because this is the only reason i remembered to take my meds despite 1. a calendar reminder on my phone 2. a calendar reminder on my calendar 3. sternly telling myself not to forget as i was cooking 4. wondering if i should take my meds before eating and deciding no, ill take them during the meal
i have to take a short course medication on a schedule that is specifically designed to fuck with people with adhd (once a week, with a meal)

Wondering how large the age gap is? Genuinely asking bc as long as it’s two consenting adults idgaf and let people be. A little shocked there’s nothing for that ship if it’s a game from 2008 😮
i actually dont know lol? id say one is in his ~30s and the other his ~50s or 60s so like, standard age gap old man yaoi for tumblr. theres not that many fics for this game all together (42 total and the top ship only has 16 entries) so i think i just hit a niche of a niche 😔

I feel like many people have a fundamental misconception of what unreliable narrator means. It's simply a narrative vehicle not a character flaw, a sign that the character is a bad person. There are also many different types of unreliable narrators in fiction. Being an unreliable narrator doesn't necessarily mean that the character is 'wrong', it definitely doesn't mean that they're wrong about everything even if some aspects in their story are inaccurate, and only some unreliable narrators actively and consciously lie. Stories that have unreliable narrators also tend to deal with perception and memory and they often don't even have one objective truth, just different versions. It reflects real life where we know human memory is highly unreliable and vague and people can interpret same events very differently
