i wish there was an easier way to tell the difference between an “if it sucks hit da bricks” situation and a “sometimes being an adult means doing things that you dont wanna” situation
The best answer to this that I’ve seen is “You are free to do whatever you like. You must only live with the consequences.”
“If it sucks, hit da bricks” is for when you realize that you actually definitely can live with the consequences of Not Doing The Thing.
“Sometimes being an adult means doing things that you don’t wanna” is for when you’ve thought it over and it turns out you would strongly prefer NOT to live with the consequences of Not Doing The Thing.
A friend told me I should be using bottled water to make my tea, since the tap water around here has a lot of chlorine in it and that’ll throw off the flavor of some of my more delicate teas.
I tried it. Boiled the water in a kettle, poured it into the cup to brew, and it all bounced right back out. Made a hell of a mess. My slippers are soaked.
Tried again, same thing. Mess all over the kitchen, hot water all over the counter and down my apron.
I called my friend to tell her about it and figure out what the hell was going on.
She said “that’s weird. I’ve never had that problem. Are you using filtered water or spring water?”
Would it make sense to carry multiple bows for different purposes?
While I’d love to wander round like some kind of archery Witcher, if I was adventuring, I’d probably stick with the one. But that doesn’t mean I can’t have different ways of shooting!
Some five thousand years ago, a 27-foot high granite standing stone was erected by the Neolithic people of future Dartmoor. In the 12th century, a monastery was built on the spot, incorporating the stone into its foundations. The monastery became a manor house in the 14th century, then an inn in the 15th, which it remains to this day as The Oxenham Arms.
The standing stone remains in its place, unceremoniously part of the sitting room wall next to the radiator.
Saw your tags, prev;
And there is a word for it! It’s called a palimpsest!
Originally it means a very old manuscript that has been written on and then scraped clean and written on again, but its also a theory used to describe the way an object can have multiple meanings and contexts from different times written on top of one another, like the layers of an onion. Its one of my favourite cultural history words!
🚨both good and bad things are happening to todaysbird🚨
(my cute little lady for tax)
so as many of you may already know, i’m in a…not great living situation currently (other issues aside, i live in one single bedroom with my partner, a cat, a dog, and six rats…), and the cost of living is too high in the northeast US (going without medication and must haves), so…ive been looking for places elsewhere. good news: i found a place where i’m approved, and can bring my pets! (With a YARD, which my dog has never had in my time renting). the bad news? i’ve had to move twice in the past two years, we’ve been plagued by health issues, car issues, and general life issues, and we have no savings. while i have enough for the security deposit, i will literally be moving with my clothes and my pets, and that’s pretty much it. i don’t have family members who can help financially support me through this time.
TLDR: I think if I get it together now, I can really get it together, but it’s gonna be hard.
So, yet again (some of you may remember my previous moving sale), I need to get my shit together - REALLY quickly, because my wife is approved for work at our new home, but not in our current state.
what I’m doing to raise these funds:
KO-FI: Commission a bird post here! I ask that you check through the blog so there isn’t anything already done that seems too similar, and put in your message what bird species you’d like me to cover (I can also cover broader topics!). Minimum required payment on Kofi is $3. Please keep in mind there may be a delay, as I’m actively moving, but I WILL make your post!
My Mercari mostly has Vulture Culture & old plushies - I’m adding more stuff 8/29, so take a look if either of those interest you! There’s also some other random odds and ends.
My TOYHOU.SE - mostly selling Warrior Cat characters and some others.
If you can’t use KOFI but you’d like a bird post, let me know and we can try to figure it out.
I’m pretty desperate, so…DM me offers on stuff if you can’t afford it! Seen me post an artwork that isn’t up for sale, but you’re interested? Ask about it! Want a bulk order? Let’s do it! I only have a little time to make or break this, so I’m willing to sell things at a very reasonable cost <3
Thank you, everyone. Reminder that while I appreciate help, this is NOT a paid blog and you are NEVER obligated to buy anything from me or give me a payment. I appreciate you all!
