how come no one talks about those days where your mental health just crashes down randomly and you start feeling ashamed of yourself because you were doing so good and now you feel like a complete failure because you can’t figure out where you went wrong.
for a quick change of pace–i know we’ve all seen a thousand posts about voting, but what i haven’t seen (not yet) is one saying thank you.
thank you for those who made it out in the rain and the cold, who organized and canvassed and took on the onerous task of working with non-voting & conservative friends/family to change their stance if at least just this once. thank you for those who stood in line for hours, who had to travel because your voting place was moved, who had to jump through ridiculous fucking hoops to register, who weren’t inspired but showed up anyway for the disenfranchised and the greater good. thank you as well to everyone who voted early, absentee, and provisional.
I got bored while grinding in Ragnarok M: Eternal Love so I started going through @theshitpostcalligrapher’s posts…and my hand tripped and pulled out my very old calligraphy pen and a random notebook and this happened whoops.
I haven’t done any kind of lettering in a decade………..
Asimov invented the three laws of robotics and spent most of his robot books pulling them apart and exploring why they wouldn’t work but why they couldn’t really be improved, either.
Most robot revolution stories assume the danger is when robots stop obeying us and start thinking for themselves.
Asimov’s stories suggest that the real danger is robots doing exactly what we tell them to.
I think that’s both more realistic and actually scarier.
Kid who comes in regularly: How come you’re working today? You’re not usually here on Wednesday!
Me: The other girl who works here needed the day off so we swapped.
Kid: Oh no! I thought she was a boy!
Me: Nope, she’s a girl.
Kid: She looks a bit like a boy.
Me: Yeah, that happens to some people, but she’s a girl.
Kid: Are you sure?
Me: Yep, she told me she was a girl when she started working here.
Kid: Oh, okay! She’s nice. She gave me a lollipop once.
It was seriously that simple. Give kids the benefit of the doubt.
