Your identity is valid.

Each person swallows 28 spiders before they die. If you've only swallowed 3 so far, 25 show up before you die.

Hospitals make sure only non-toxic species live in the building. Families bring spiders to hospice to honor last wishes. The number of spiders that show up is taken as a sign of how open your heart and mind were in life, the lower, the better.

Just before you pass, you feel a tickle in the back of your throat, and a single spider crawls out of your mouth, sits on your lap, looks right into your eyes and says:

Hollywood-funded anti-piracy association Brein, the people who made the "you wouldn't download a car" ad, tried to stiff Melchior Rietveldt, the musician who composed the music for it, out of the vast bulk of his royalties. They told him the ad would only be shown at a local film festival, then stuck the ad on a bunch of DVDs and acted like they had full right to.

So, like, if you're ever wondering if anti-piracy capitalists hate piracy? The answer is "no". They'll steal and lie seven days a week and twice on Sundays. They just hate seeing people enjoy media without paying them.

Trump killed the marketing budget for the ACA and changed the enrollment deadline.

You have until Dec 15th to get covered, even with pre-existing conditions.

little bow tie on top = "female-presenting"
little bow tie on bottom = "male-presenting"

like that's literally all you need to know. some people have said that putting a mustache on your nipple will make it "male-presenting" but that's still pretty gender-ambiguous imo.

DO NOT WRAP A BOW TIE AROUND THE NIPPLE. this will fatally confuse the tumblr nipple-sorting algorithm and cause every .jpg on the site to be replaced with pineapple emojis. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

So there was a Tumblr post a while ago musing on the fact that Charlie Weasley was able to get together a group to smuggle a dragon across international borders on two days notice - https://packbat.tumblr.com/post/147254894127/blueelectricangels - and one of the responses was from a biologist who said: "speaking as a biologist, i can guarantee i would show up without question to smuggle an endangered species that would otherwise be destroyed across national borders to a sanctuary on two days’ notice."

...and I think that's something that a lot of writers who aren't scientists, archaeologists, zoologists, et cetera might not think about? Society writes an implicit list of Things You Are Allowed To Care A Whole Lot About, and while I suspect *everyone* has items they drop or add to that list, if you are writing a scholar with a particular field of study? Something irreplaceable in their field may well have a value to them on par with their own limbs.

And I think writers miss that sometimes. So it occurs to me to mention.

Adora is a political science undergrad who has a column in Teen Vogue. Entrapta is her neurodivergent friend who still works at Facebook.

the honorific title for a cat (mx, ms, mr, etc) is mw (pronounced mew)

Anarcho communism relies on those who produce and earn to give to those who don't produce things that have Market Value.

Or put another way, communes work best when they have a couple people in there that understand capitalism and can swim with sharks for the good of the tribe.

The rewards to the tribe of having someone who just does Art, research and home base ops is far in excess of the Cost however.

Villages Work. Start building one.
