Every artist should have a discord full of insane biologists, I bring them eldritch creature designs and they’re spec evo’ing that bastard so fast. It’s got a life cycle now, we’ve worked out its optimal environment. This is enrichment for us
Fanfiction dot net is the wild fucking west for a fic author. The only fic I still have up on ff dot net received this list of demands on the prologue (pic 1) and an absolutely bonkers series of 5 reviews dedicated to this man explaining the fic I should write for him (pic 2)
Anyway check out my art account and watch To Be Hero X!!

New tax: every time you complain about the tbhx fandom being dead, you've gotta reblog 10 fanworks or 3 currently running events.
Tbhx fandom is definitely small but if you think its inactive, its cuz you're not participating.

So, Terry Pratchett was once asked what books aspiring fantasy novelists should read if they hope to write great fiction. His advice was telling. He encouraged authors to avoid reading much of what passes for contemporary fantasy (what he called “Extruded Fantasy Product,” derivative of Tolkien). “Do not write it,” he said, “and try not to read it. Read widely outside the genre. Read about the Old West (a fantasy in itself) or Georgian London or how Nelson’s navy was victualled or the history of alchemy or clock-making or the mail coach system. Read with the mindset of a carpenter looking at trees.”
Any great fantasy series you can name, from Star Wars to Narnia to Discworld, was written by authors who read voraciously, who read old books and loved old myths, whose minds were so steeped in history and folklore and obscure pulp fiction that they couldn’t have written derivative works if they had tried. We’ll only have great fantasy in this century if we can recover the reading habits of the authors of a previous era.
Hayao Miyazaki on modern anime, via Roland Kelts the author of 'Japanamerica'
"Hayao Miyazaki said to me at one point: 'The problem with young anime artists today is that the only thing they study is anime. When we were young, we studied French literature, we studied impressionism, we read Dostoevsky. We swallowed everything. And then we went and created original anime. But if you grow up and all you watch is anime, you're just regurgitating spinning wheels.'"
He also spoke about his work on the upcoming documentary 'Tezuka! God of Manga'

Had a locksmith try to charge me $570 once. It took 20 minutes each way for him to get to and from my house, and 2 minutes of shoving an air wedge through the crack in the door and popping the latch. Ppl who complain about comm prices genuinely have no idea what life costs

🚨 URGENT: The Senate votes Monday on a bill that would make permits on our public lands nearly impossible for ANY future president to undo.
And Trump's admin is still handing them out on those very lands right now.
They're calling it the permitting bill, and it's a sneaky one. It's far worse than the name sounds.
Any permit still in effect on September 16, 2026 gets shielded, no matter who issued it or when. Older permits count too, even decades old, if they're still active. So does every one Trump's admin signs from here on.
The thing I want you to understand is this. Federal oil and gas leases don't expire as long as they keep producing. A lease signed in the 70s or 80s is still in effect today if it's still producing. Earthjustice warns this bill makes leases like that "virtually impossible to overturn."
To change or cancel a permit, a future admin would have to prove it by "clear and convincing evidence."
Only five reasons count:
1. A court orders it.
2. The permit holder broke the law.
3. The permit was obtained through fraud.
4. The permit holder asks for it.
5. An urgent threat to life, property, or national security the original review missed.
If none apply, the permit stays. Locked in. Trumped in.
If a judge finds the government botched the environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act, the judge can order a redo. But the judge can't cancel the permit or stop the project. The bulldozers keep running during the redo.
Tribes don't get a say until AFTER agencies have already made up their minds about work on their ancestral lands and sacred sites.
Two Democrats, Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), top Democrat on the Senate Energy Committee, and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), signed on to the bill Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) introduced, with Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah).
Voters just handed Democrats Congress. Two of them put their names on a bill that locks in Trump's permits anyway.
This sitting Congress is trying to push it through Monday. Please call your members of Congress today. We don't have much time.
I've tagged the four senators behind this. Let them know how you feel about it by saying no to the bill to your MOC.
Thank you for standing up for our public lands.

One healthcare reform I would push for as an internal medicine physician:
When a private health insurer refuses to cover medically necessary treatment and that decision causes a patient harm, the insurance company should face the same medical malpractice liability as the healthcare professionals responsible for treating that patient.
You shouldn’t be able to make decisions that jeopardize someone’s life and walk away without accountability.
