A couple years ago, I was staying with a friend for New Year’s and we’d decided to drive down to this adorable strip of locally-owned small business shops and check them out. The bakery was particularly crowded and since I wasn’t planning to buy anything, I waited outside. It’d been snowing, and since moving I’d picked up a “Californian-experiences-true-midwest-winter-for-the-first-time” habit of making at least one (1) tiny snowman every opportunity I get

so I built a little snowman on one of the small tables on this strip.

after about three minutes of cramming ice together, I hear, “Do you want espresso beans for the eyes?” and I turn around and there’s this gal leaning precariously far out the window of her coffee shop, surrounded by her coworkers, holding out her hand and said espresso beans.

I think of those strangers often. just the thought of them all looking out the window to see this random stranger on the corner in the snow building a tiny snowman and deciding to join in, make it special for no other reason than that they wanted to. people are so, so precious and I’m never going to forget that moment.

journals

i love how personal journals reflect how we think as individuals. Like the content yes but the format of said content tells so much about a person.Every journal gives you a peek into what goes on in its owner's mind. Are their thoughts organised? do they like visuals more than writing? do they prefer talking to the world or talking to them selves? are they more comfortable in expressing themselves through art and pictures or do they feel better understood through words? or is it a mix of both. Do they care if their art/writing has a solid structure (a begining and an end, title pages etc) or are they just someone who goes with the flow. Do they write to release or do they decorate it to be art. It's crazy how these subtle details act like "body language" of the mind.

I love it when people just do nice things just for the sake of it.

I was on the train and as the conductor came around checking everyone's tickets and passes, a kid saw him punching the tickets and asked if he could try. The conductor then gave him a ticket to punch, told him to punch it, and the kid excitedly did it. All the other passengers in the car who had paper tickets gave him their tickets to punch, the kid was so happy.

This is the drawing of a horse from a manuscript from the 13th century. (Wien, Österr. Nationalbibl., Cod. 2742*)

It's from a copy of Priest Wernher's driu liet von der maget ("Drei Lieder über die Jungfrau"), a three part vernacular retelling of the life of Mary. The horse is just some sketch in the front, in between unrelated little tidbits. Right beneath it it says "Wer daz pferd hat geschriben der ist ein guter gesell" – which roughly translates to "the one who drew this horse is a cool guy". (The rest of the sentence is really hard to read, my colleagues and I (one being an expert on medieval handwriting) tried to decipher it, but couldn't make out the whole sentence.)

I used this image in a workshop I held about the use of AI in Higher Education. I had it as the intro image and waited till the end to explain. Because the point I was trying to make: The ultimate reason why we write is to connect as humans. And it doesn't matter if it's a silly little horse badly drawn in the manuscript of a religious text. You cannot imagine the joy my colleagues and I had when I stumbled on this image purely by chance, I immediately ran across the whole institute to show it to everyone. They printed this horse on the Goodbye card when I left and I keep it in my new office.

It's not about how beautiful something is, how well crafted, how perfect. Ultimately, it is about sharing the human experience, to connect to people, even if it's centuries into the future. People will be people, and I will always think of that looking at that horse.

what's your most oddly specific hot take

Hello maggot what a lovely question, here you go:

I believe that OFMD fandom's character Izzy, the subject of much controversy, actually doesn't exist, and so the discourse is unnecessary. He is simply a Freudian projection induced by hallucinogenic rum triggered by childhood boiling of a humanoid potato by Ed.

Shitposters in Ancient Greece and Rome would crush anyone on Tumblr. Has anyone on Tumblr ever run into the prestigious Academy of Plato with a plucked chicken screaming Behold a man? Spat in the face of a rich man in his own home because he told you not to sully the furniture with your spit? Left graffiti on the walls of Pompeii before 70 AD that said, "If you are bored, take a bag of rice, scatter it all over the road. Pick the grains up one by one. Now you have a task."

144 is the sluttiest number ever why does it have to be divisible by so many things? You could tell me 144 is divisible perfectly by 433339 to get a whole number, and I would believe. What a whore, 144.

Not a hot take, but Crowley's hot and I wanna take them on a date.

One of my older coworkers is basically the Weird But Cool Uncle of our department. He'll collect the entire group of co-ops/interns and take them down to the cafeteria for ice cream, he'll take you out and teach you how to shoot or change a tire or whatever you need and want to learn, he'll randomly show up whenever you need help (as long as you ask) with a trailer to help you move or power tools to fix whatever needs fixing, and all he asks in return is some gratitude and maybe that you buy him a pizza or donuts at some point. He helped me move from my apartment to my house two years ago. When my furnace went out after Thanksgiving last year, he showed up with a bunch of tools to see if he could quickly fix it before the repair company showed up and/or I needed it to be replaced.

Anyway, I mentioned to him today that I was considering a small sawzall and/or chainsaw to deal with saplings growing by my garage and back fence and the resultant lumber on my property (since I have a fire pit in the backyard, might as well make use of it) and he immediately messaged me with "cool, here's the brands you want to consider, let me know what size you get so I can make sure I have the same size chain/blade to match in case yours breaks so I can give you one of mine" and y'all, I damn near cried in the middle of the work day at such a casual expression of community and solidarity and connection. It's so rare that someone who isn't family (and even if they are family in some cases) will casually set you up for success like that and I am so, so grateful to have him in my life.

He also showed up after work today to help me deal with said saplings and helped me hack off a bunch of wild grapevine while we were at it, so I'm definitely gonna buy him lunch this week.

Reverse Summoning

Technically, this is my 7th Humans Are Space Orcs even though this is more of interdimensial summoning...

Anyways, more fun to think how terrifying we can be I guess...

So, I've seen one story prompt like this in the past but forgot where and who wrote it. This one would center more on the "what if we are summoned on a place kinda similar to Earth but seems more magical and is also stuck in the Renaissance or Medieval period?"

Cuz I've seen a post on TikTok saying "What if Earth had rings like Jupiter and other planets? What if those rings would be space rocks due to our close proximity to the sun? Our internet connection would go poof! and even if we have satellites, the transmission to Earth would buffer due to the magnetic disturbances possibly emitted by said space rocks".

Such is why I wrote this asking myself, what if humans are sorta classified into legendary creatures that could do a lot of things despite our weak looking bodies?

So, sorta like the usual isekai summoning but with the fact that they need to put certain "elements" to get the human familiar that they want though it doesn't translate well to our language, thus, they still get to have randomized humans qualities. Example: Earth, time, patience where they wanted someone as sturdy as the Earth, could manipulate time, and have patience for serving them equates to a farmer.

You get the gist of it lol.

Imagine this scenario… you are someone with an abnormal sleeping schedule due to a major project with an approaching deadline. You've been drinking caffeine and various energy drinks to the point that your stomach, liver, and kidneys would cry and curse you if they could speak. Your nerves are frazzled and your anxiety level is through the roof to the point that one wrong move could either send you through an enormous breakdown or a volcanic meltdown.

You were down to the last details of your project, the most crucial moment where you can finally end your torture and pass out on your bed for hours on end when suddenly, engravings appeared under your working area and a bright light was the last thing you saw as you cursed at the world for suddenly feeling faint (a side effect of the summoning) to the point that you felt as if you're hallucinating the bright engravings on your floor because ain't no way you have a shining marker anywhere near your table.

On the other side, a creature with humanoid features and chicken bird wings (nah, just kidding… the summoner have wings similar to a hummingbird) was feeling sweaty from the length of time it was taking for you to be summoned. Other people surrounding them was also waiting in anticipation.

Note that in their world, the longer the length of summoning, the higher the resistance force of the summoned being (yes, we can resist), and this means the greater the summon's capabilities are.

When the children (they look almost like us but due to their constant use of the leylines had certain additional features on their bodies, as featured with the chiken wings of the summoner) finally saw a body drop on top of the large summoning sigil.

They all held their breath as you gathered yourself from the disorientation.

They could see someone whose flesh isn't covered by scaled or hardened by muscles. No signs of any crystal either which is needed to harness the power of their leyline energy. To be honest, the summoned familiar looked as if its on the verge of death (looking zombified from the stress). They feel like you're about to keel over at any moment and instead of a summon, they'd have a corpse to clean up.

Of course, you, feeling delirious at the plethora of unique looking creatures, still sleep-deprived, and absolutely pissed off from suddenly being taken away from your work looked at them with bloodshot eyes and launched off a tirade of curse words that goes down to at least the 3rd generation of their family.

They know a few of our language given that they have attempted the same ritual over the past few years (though depending on the leyline used, time either goes too fast or too slow in our world, in other words it's more of a time travel hotspot).

They could understand words like "intestines" and "murder" and "deadline" and "kill" but the other words feel more different (the last summon that agreed to teach them was a pissed off Russian woman who was inwardly cackling as she incorporated a lot of random words that didn't match her place of origin as she's very happy to screw with people who are wasting her quiet time with her beloved wine).

The teacher though… the more he's looking at the translation orb in his hand, the more he feels the blood drain from his face.

They did summon someone important. Someone resilient and capable. Someone who's been able to go through harsh moments and still smile as they work through an entire cycle of hatred and cursing of their self, life, and world.

The greatest familiars usually come from what you call as "procrastinators".

Well, procrastinators are their own breed of legendary so it's not as if they're wrong.

Still, the summoning teacher felt like quitting that very moment when said summon brandished a sharpened pencil as you charged towards them shouting how you'll rip them limb from limb with a fudgin pencil if you have to.

Violence was one of the things in your mind and spite was the only thing left fueling your deranged soul as you chanted, "You messed with the wrong person, b!tch!" before diving forward at the squawking student who immediately casted defensive shields...

That shield did help deter you for a bit before you heaved, rounded them, and internalized all hate in your soul and stabbed the pointy end of your pencil at their mighty shield, laughing like a wild hyena as you watch the barrier crack open like your last piggy bank when you're left with no money in your pocket.

Their screams were glorious!

.

The school finally banned calling onto procrastinators until further containment considerations on their part after they sent home a crying, plucked humanoid hummingbird.

A TikToker by the name of hustlanani, who identified as a DC college student named Sanai, has raised over $150,000 after helping a homeless man with prostate cancer in a video that's gone viral.

In the video, Sanai said she was vlogging her trip to the grocery store when a homeless man asked if she could buy him tea. She noted that the man didn't ask for money, so she offered for him to join her on her grocery store trip. During their walk, the man revealed that he needed his medication refilled for the pain he was experiencing. The college student took the man to multiple pharmacies to have his prescription filled and made a stop at Starbucks for tea.

When the man told her that he stayed at a church, Sanai decided to check him into a hotel room for a night. The TikTok video of Sanai helping the homeless man, who has been identified as Alonzo, garnered over 12 million views. Social media users praised the college student for how she helped the man. As of Thursday (February 1), Sanai raised over $150,000 that she plans to use to "make sure he has a place to live, new clothes, shoes, a bank account, doctor's appointments, a phone, etc," she wrote on GoFundMe. Sanai said she plans to document the rest of their journey on her TikTok.

Cringe should be dead, you're right, but it's pretty cringe to watch you jump to conclusions about that reblog. Sol didn't say they wanted it removed because they think HH is bad or cringe, they wanted it removed because of something personal. Yes, we get attacked a lot on the HH fandom, but you shouldn't jump to conclusions, especially when they took the time to ask politely.

Sol is that you? /hj

I am taking the ask at face value. It is completely ridiculous to ask someone to go through their blog and delete posts that they’ve reblogged from you, especially if it’s for something as petty as “I don’t want to be associated with your fandom”. Just roll your eyes and block the blog like a normal person. No one is forcing you to interact with the blog or the fandom just because you had a brief, one way, meaningless interaction. This is like seeing your neighbor wearing muscle shirt and marching onto their lawn, demanding that they change clothes because you’re having company and you don’t want to be associated with people who wear muscle shirts. This is HOA vice president behavior. It’s weird, it’s irritating, and it’s overall poor etiquette.

[Ask in question]

Hi Reid! I'm not entirely sure how to phrase this so I hope the question makes sense, but, historically, has there been evidence found that people in the past (before the modern age of archeology, I guess) also had an interest in excavating and documenting things ancient to them?

Like, were there archeologists (or the equivalent) in ancient rome? Or even before? I can only imagine that if we have people with deep interests in the past now, people like that existed back then, too.

People have always been people, and our ancestors had just as much interest in their ancestors as we have in them! Imperial China, Ancient Egypt are two of the examples that come to mind.

so on solar eclipse day one of my profs was like “I just don’t get why everyone gets so excited for the eclipse” and it made me think about the fact that like. There really isn’t much reason to get so excited about it, other than it looks cool. But imo that just makes me love it even more, bc it shows how silly humanity can be sometimes. The moon passes in front of the sun every once in a while, and everyone collectively decides to stop what we’re doing and make special little glasses so we can sit and watch, and we cheer when the eclipse reaches totality, and it’s honestly so cute
