Note to self: Fallen London, FFXIV, do not adopt one or more cats,
investigate return of oh-fuck-no nausea and post-prandial pain (similar to gall bladder bullshit),
try not to fall into suicidal despair at the thought of seeking any decent standard of care from a decades-strangled NHS,
Also Greens took more seats than Reform, tell people that,
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,
christ this hurts.

Let’s talk about one of the least intuitive words in Hebrew.

Please.

It’s not the easiest one to guess…

But here’s the good news:

✅ It’s also the word for “there you go” (like when a waiter brings your food)

✅ And for “you’re welcome”

One tricky word — three super useful meanings.

You’ll hear it everywhere in Israel.

Save the video so that you have it in your pocket whenever you need it 👀

Then drop a comment if you’ve ever heard it used in a way that surprised you!

A Nazi is wanting sympathy and praise for the companies his money and opportunities have bought. Hmph.

A buyer, a purchaser, wants your devotion? Does he?

Not any money man, but a hoarder of wealth beyond imagination that sits AT THE VERY TOP OF THE CHAIN wants YOUR pity? #PLEASE !!!!

OH, almost forgot.... He is also a self-outted fucking #NAZI

Why in the fuck would I give a fuck about a billionaire???

They make money off interest. Not any jobs. They sleep and thrive, not sleep for dinner.

Heat Pumps: refrigerators that run both ways.

omg wait. Het Pumps: shoes that denote utter straight-ness.

He Pumps: description of masc person who doth lift.

H Pumps: uhhh, probably a biology or chemistry thing? Like H is Hydrogen, so just one proton (+1 positive charge, +1 atomic mass in the nucleus) with maybe a neutron or two (+0 charge, +1 atomic mass in the nucleus). So an H pump would probably just be a proton pump, like the opposite of what you give people for stomach ulcers? Cuz acid is more protons, giving a stronger overall positive charge.

E Pumps: come on, this is a free trans chick joke. Or maybe like e-girls, or both tbh. Are e-boys a thing? Are e-boys just fem bois in a more cyber punk aesthetic?

Dear artists, and everyone doing the same:
If you have a Mastodon and a Pixelfed or Loops account and just post the same content on both accounts, there's no need for people (me) to follow both as it'll just be twice the same thing in people's (my) feed.

Boost instead! It won't clutter (and annoy) people's (my) feed!

Thank you!

TransFem SpaceKiran 🏳️‍⚧️ (@kirancodes)Any advice? please someone respond to this post. Please please please. If you see this in the timeline please please please respond. okay asking for like advice about this. I've been kinda spiralling around this comment, and like I'm trying to work out whether I should block her over this... So I think the core of the problem was that like my feelings were hurt in this interaction. I respect her skills and knowledge having gone to art school, but I kinda hoped she'd respect mine? Like it's a hobby sure, but I've dedicated a huge amount of time to drawing. There were long parts of my life where I'd be doing drawing exercises daily and like those warmup sketches etc. and I've read through a ton of like anatomy books and gone through all their exercises. There's even this like course called how to draw a box? which is meant to teach fundamentals of drawing and building motor skills and I spent like two weeks non stop drawing circles as practice for that. I don't think this makes me on par to someone who went to art school, and like I don't think my hobbist stuff is equivalent to like an art student ofc, but like idk I feel like I've earned some level of respect w.r.t my drawing skills? and like me making a self deprecating joke, and then her responding by taking it at face value and then condescendingly explaining references and how to practice art to me was like she didn't respect that at all. (Like in the previous interaction I mentioned, I told her that I wanted to improve my skills such that I didn't need references, and the fact that I still need them made me feel bad about myself, and she took this as though she was the one who told me to use references? like? I've been drawing for a long time before I met her and been drawing since). Currently I want like some kind of recognition of my feelings being hurt, so like I want to like convey this to her somehow. I guess one way would be to just block her. I don't want to write up a passage or like ask for an apology. Like she knows I do art, I've shared artwork with her. She should know that that's being hurtful, and I would be further offering respect to her in a situation where she's offered me none. So why not block her? She was the first person I ever went on a date with after my egg had cracked. I like having a platonic girl friend and she's Singaporean so there are some things about Singapore I can talk to her about. I guess like sentimental reasons I don't want to like cut off that relationship. We don't chat that often, like once every several months or something, so it's not like this conversation is particularly important to me, but like just out of sentimentality I like having her as a friend. I guess her image of me is probably pretty skewed because this was like pre everything and I was very much in boy mode when I met her, and I guess these conversations are a reflection of how her view of me is outdated. Her condescension being about drawing techniques is also pretty annoying and making this in the foreground again, because like now when I'm drawing I'm self conscious of like whether I'm going to follow her advice or not (which wasn't like even new information, it's stuff I obviously knew before, but she wasn't telling it to me as a fellow artist, but as someone "above" me teaching me) I guess. and the fact that like this interaction is now getting into my head and preventing me from enjoying a hobby that I have is also making me sour on this interaction further. Any advice? RN: Just want to vent about this, a bit idk friend from SG (one of the gals I went on a date with, we still chat now and then) messaged me, I guess sharing her artwork? I was like cool (the proportions and stuff were off and like there were issues but like it's someone sharing art, I'm not going to like critique them without them asking) She's started trying drawing people more recently but she's mostly used to like drawing environments We have like an extended convo and I'm like nice and then she's this convo happens (we continue discussing other stuff after, but I'm still a little irked by this) idk I know my art is still a work in progress, but like I've been drawing for a while, yknow? like I feel like I have some knowledge on this. and she's like you said drawing from references are wrong? like fuck you I didnt' say that fuckward fuck you fuck you fuck you I said I wanted to reach the point where I didn't need references dickhead fuck you and guess what, I'm better at drawing people than you, your drawings had shitty proportions, oh and your internship? I guess that' didn't pan out either eh? I guess you're still living with your parents lol I'm in a different fucking country dont' fucking talk down to me fuck fuck fuckf uck (📎1)
