If T makes you gain weight and E and antidepressants do it too, and so does enjoying good food and not being hungry all the time, then perhaps maybe sometimes joy & weight gain come hand in hand and that’s good
instead of either having a server be muted or unmuted discord should introduce a setting called special princess mode where the server is muted except ☝🏽 for one person that is your special princess and the emoji0oo990op09iop09i8o09i8op09iolp-09op-0opyujiko8o9i8ukol9iukolp9i8uki sorry. i got a drop of oil on my keyboard bc i was eating hummus with a little bit of olive oil earlier and i was cleaning that off. anyway and the notification icon is a heart. and they have to to call it that.
i think there’s actually nothing better than being randomly told “I love you” after doing something characteristically stupid. Like what do you mean I’m a lovable person and I just did something silly and you thought “of course you would do that. I love you.”. No better feeling
would you let me into your room so i can sit awkwardly on the ground wearing an oversized t shirt and look at your posters like a squirrel searching for threats before proceeding to say nothing and stare at you until you speak to me. would you let me do this
my friend liz downloaded some free audio software a few months ago to do something and now every time she joins a call a female voice says “trial. trial.” and liz doesn’t remember the name of the software or know how to stop it and she doesn’t want to
my friend liz had her spotify account hacked and literally didn’t realize for a year until I was talking about my decade in review playlist and she looked at hers and it was all brazilian music and she was like oh this explains why I would go to sleep listening to classical music and wake up and it’s playing trap. and also why there are like 30 playlists on my account that I didn’t make. she just thought spotify was like that
hand to god at some point my friend liz managed to fuck up her install of Portal so bad that it was displaying minecraft textures

i think it’s really funny that most of the most popular and beloved companions of doctor who are young women from contemporary england… except for jamie mccrimmon, an eighteenth-century man from scotland
Every time I get groceries I’m always appalled at how little you can get for like, $20. I was making banana pudding so I needed vanilla wafers but the brand name nilla wafers cost $4 a box. The minimum wage in my state is $7.25/hr. My friend put it really well when he said “imagine you work for an hour and someone hands you two boxes of nilla wafers and said ‘actually this is a bit more than what I owe you’”
How are some of y’all missing the point so bad. “Shop at aldi instead” “make your own food” “don’t buy brand name” “don’t buy unhealthy processed food” It’s not about the box of cookies. This is about how minimum wage pays peanuts and has stagnated for 12 years while the cost of living keeps growing. No one wants your financial advice about how to survive on beans and rice and frozen veggies. The smartest grocery list in the world is not gonna help you budget your way out of poverty. Please get a grip for the love of god
Since the body language of cats is pretty common knowledge, I haven’t had to research it too much for fic-writing purposes. I haven’t gotten a chance to interact with sheep nearly as often as I have cats, though, so I find myself looking up the body language of sheep quite often. I thought it might be helpful/interesting to share some of what I’ve found over the years of writing CotL fics, in case anyone wants to use it to help with their writing/art c: Some of this I’ve learned from professional/farming resources, but most of it is honestly just from reading forums about sheep and reading the “informal data” about people’s experiences with sheep!
Stomping, quite predictably, means a sheep is irritated/aggressive, but their stomping isn’t actually all that loud as you might expect with hooves. (Thus, it’s easy to misjudge how aggressive a sheep might be feeling if their stomping is fairly quiet.)
If they’re pawing someone, though, it often means they’re trying to pester for treats/pets.
Ears turned sideways or a bit backwards means a sheep is relaxed. Pointing backwards usually indicates fear. Pointing forwards, especially if the head is tilted up, can indicate either stress or curiosity (the common denominator here is the sheep is trying to figure out what’s going on/if something is unfamiliar or new). Asymmetrical ears are associated with stress or frustration as well.
Scared or uncomfortable sheep might drop their heads, as if to blend in with the flock/their surroundings
If the ears are flicking, the sheep is probably frustrated or stressed. Their ears tend to move more often the more uncomfortable they are
They also tend to snort when they’re annoyed
Half-shut eyes indicate feeling safe, but squinting can indicate the sheep’s in pain. Another common sign of pain is grinding their teeth.
Bunting is an aggressive gesture, and so is lowering the head/presenting the forehead and backing up (preparing to bunt).
On a similar note, head pets or horn touches can similarly be taken as a show of dominance/challenge since rams headbutt. Top-of-the-head pets should be given with caution, only if you know the sheep enjoys it, but it’ll depend on the individual
Common places sheep like to be pet: base of/behind/inside the ears, under-neck, under the jaw, chest, under the belly, top of the tail, behind the horns (apparently sheep can get itchy behind the horns). If they’re really happy with the scratches they might lick the air.
Happy tail wiggles.
Sheep can get the zoomies when they’re excited.
It takes about 4-5 sheep to get them to display their normal flocking behaviors. Isolation from other sheep “causes severe stress and should be avoided,” and sheep separated from their mothers in young childhood tend to be more anxious in adulthood even when in company of others :)
Take the above info as much or as little as you’d like to, since we’re all making fan creations that are fictional anyway so you should do whatever you want forever. Anyway, have fun with these
I was gonna make a joke about how I say “I need to go the circus again” the way people used to say they need to go to the sea to balance their humors. But I realized the circus balances humors too

Crows are able to look at a handful of four-sided shapes and correctly distinguish those that exhibit geometric regularity from those that don’t, according to a provocative new study.
It’s the first time a species other than humans has been shown to have this kind of geometric intuition, says Andreas Nieder, a cognitive neurobiologist at the University of Tübingen in Germany.
“Claiming that it is specific to us humans, that only humans can detect geometric regularity, is now falsified,” says Nieder. “Because we have at least the crow.”
My mistress is a bumbling idiot. She’s been seeing a suitor who intends to buy her hand in marriage from her father, but she’s told me quite clearly that she doesn’t think this man is right. As her devoted maid, I cannot let her be wed off to some scoundrel like him. But all my efforts to save her from him have been foiled by her clumsiness. When I brought the tray to them with the poisoned teacup closer to him, in a breach of etiquette she reached for the far teacup and took the poison for herself. When I poisoned his wine, her ring got caught on the tablecloth and knocked over his glass. When I set up the armoire to fall and crush him, she tripped on the rug and made it go off too early. Once I even rigged one of the chandeliers to fall on his spot, and right before it did she violated table manners, got up, grabbed his wrist, and dragged him to the window because she “thought she saw a stag outside.” A stag?! There weren’t even any woods visible from that window! And after all these foiled attempts she has the audacity to complain to me that marrying this man will ruin her life. As if seeing her with any man wouldn’t ruin mine!
My head maid is adorable, and I am in love with her. She’s served me for many years at this point and, although I wouldn’t admit this to my peers, she is my closest companion. Yet here I am enduring courtship for an arranged marriage to a man I despise. My darling maid is so hopelessly devoted to me, that she keeps setting up “accidents” to kill my fiancé. Every time one of these accidents is about to occur, I cannot help myself, I have to ruin her plans. When I grabbed the wrong teacup, I felt the warmth of her hand brushing against mine as she took it from me before lying that she spotted a fly in it. When I spilled the wine on myself she whisked me away to my chambers and gently removed my stained garments. When I tripped on the rug she took my hand in hers as she helped me to my feet. Seeing her go to greater and greater lengths with her assassination plots just to protect me, and then getting her to care for me in the aftermath of their failure, I cannot resist. One time she cooked up a scheme to “accidentally” treat his laundry in such a way to make it extra flammable, and then she altered the buttons and buckles to be very hard to remove once fastened, it was such an innovative attempt, but I still couldn’t stop myself from happening to sneeze at just the right moment to blow out the candles she set up. After that she claimed I must be sick, made me stay in bed in my chambers away from my fiancé, and pampered me tending to my every need for a whole week! I truly don’t wish to marry this man, but you have to understand. The thing I need most is to push her to her limits, make her show the deepest depths of her devotions, and let her show me just how far she’ll go to keep me for herself… I really did see a stag though!
Okay so I found the most incredible horse statue while doing research for my job and guys. Are you ready for this. Are you sure you’re fucking ready for this thing
sometimes I wonder why y'all are obsessed with specific characters and I’m like “why them” but then I remember that sometimes its literally not your choice you just look at them wrong and all of a sudden they’re taking up your every thought forever
