The real writer experience is standing in the shower and coming up with the most authentic dialogue with perfect phrasing and raw emotion in your head, then stepping out and drying your hair, putting on some clean pajamas and opening a word document to write down all your perfect ideas only to realize everything has evaporated.
I FEEL CALLED OUT
Never lose a perfect shower line again.*
*Remember to erase promptly if you share a bathroom with anyone.
I’ve used these to outline term papers. nothing like a bath to get your brain to finally kick into gear and figure out your damn thesis
WHAT
Also these handy little guys if you prefer a notepad:
Are you kidding, shower crayons are the BEST when you share a bathroom with other people. When I was in college, we had them and we would use them to carry on philosophical debates, finish song lyrics, get life/writing advice, etc. It was so much fun and I miss it.
I need these omg

Arthur is negative for heartworms and up to date on his shots and we’re outside sonic waiting for mozzarella sticks.
I’m in line outside in the Texas summer heat to get Arthur his shots. He’s whining because I won’t let him near the other dogs and he’s bored. One person brought a cat and the poor thing is crying in its carrier and it’s breaking my heart.
we can just post whatever we want on this site and no one will question it huh
yes
I remember in Grade 6 we got a skeleton for our classroom. We got it all out of the box, hooked the sections together, and hung it on it’s stand. The boys looked it up and down, and one of them finally said, “I guess it must have been a girl.”
The teacher leafed through the documentation, read for a moment, and replied, “The paperwork says he was a male, age 50 or greater.”
The boys were firm. “No, loon, it’s a girl.”
“What am I looking for?” asked the teacher. “The ribcage is…”
“There’s no bone for <i>that.</i>,” another boy interjected, while a third one gestured around in the hollow pelvis.
The teacher was very quick and firm getting us girls to stop giggling long enough to explain to the eleven-year-old boys that there was no such thing as a penis bone.
Well there is, just not in humans.
I worked for a Halloween store this year and we had a skeleton morph suit for adult men that had an erect penis bone attached to it affectionately named “skeleboner”
One day, me, my manager, and my assistant manager were all up at the counter and this guy walks in, looks real concerned and then turns to us and nervously asks
“Uh where are your. Adult costumes?”
And i speak up and say “this whole right hand side of the store is adult costumes, kids are to the right.”
And he took a step closer and he whispered “where is your skeleton penis?”
And me, my manager, and my assistant manager just quietly, straight faced point to it across the store.
As of today “wheres your skeleton penis?” Is one of the best questions ie ever been asked
I look away from this website for 2 seconds….
You can determine the sex of a skeleton by looking at the pelvis, but not like that. And it’s not 100% reliable. Female pelvises tend to be wider and have a wider, rounder pubic arch, while male pelvises tend to be narrower with a narrow triangular pubic arch. Though some human females have narrower hips, and some males have wider ones, so like I said it’s not 100%. And this is called (according to my anthropology professors) “sexing” the skeleton because apparently no one’s around to tell anthropologists no.
No joke – one of my professors had a student that wouldn’t stop saying sexting the skeleton instead.
I sometimes try to tell from fake skeleton’s because I’m just as weird as the rest of you.
My adhd (I think) has been acting up all week. I’ve been fidgeting and gnawing on the inside of my mouth and on pens and chewing gum like mad and now my face hurts when I eat.
Fortunately, I was able to get mine back. They’d been moved to a sort of ghost file system, and I just had to move them back to the regular desktop. The ghost file system is still there, and it’s hard to find things sometimes, but everything still exists. (And now it exists in a couple more places than it did before, just to be safe.) Not everyone’s been so lucky.
The update that happened a couple of days ago (today being May 24, 2018) sparked a whole bunch of new traffic to the thread. Now people are getting nonfunctional desktops, or black screens. The numbers of people who report having the same problem is up to 205. One of the people who posted in the thread was a tech guy who said that the same thing happened to eight of his customers, and the only thing he can do is pull their hard drives, copy the important files, and reinstall Windows 10. And the Microsoft people agree that yes, this is the thing that has to be done, even if it costs you money, even if they were the ones who caused it in the first place.
I guess what I’m saying is, if you’re using Windows 10, do not go gentle into that good update. Postpone it and back things up, preferably externally. Probably you’ll be all right, 205 out of all the people who use Windows is infinitesimal, but something is going very wrong with some of these updates, and Microsoft doesn’t seem to be taking it seriously, even though people are losing data.
This is happening to me and it’s suffering. Please please please don’t let this shit update until they figure this out
Nebula very patiently held still so I could take a picture of her magnificent kitty beans to share with you.
Tumblr’s at it again, thanks to the new European Privacy Laws. There’s probably nobody who will read this, but it pissed me off so much that I decided to make a post about it. (Ignore the weird language mish-mash, depending on your country the language might differ.)
OK, so many of us get this screen when we try to access our dash:
Realise how the ‘OK’ button is a nice, attention-grabbing blue? If you’re like me, you’re not exactly into reading a 100 pages document and tend to just click it.
My tip? DONT. Instead click on ‘Manage Options’ right next to it:
Now you’ll see this page:
Still pretty harmless, right? That ‘Accept’ button is looking really attractive right now. Instead, click on Verwalten (Probably something like ‘Manage Options’ or something in english) and you’ll get to this page:
Now that’s not too bad, right? I just switched all the buttons to ‘off’, because I’m jealously guarding my personal information and don’t want Tumblr to go off and do who knows what with it. Looks like we’re done! But wait: There’s a SHOW option.
When we click on that one, what we will get is this:
A HUGE list with OVER 300 ENTRIES of companies that can use your data by default if you’d just clicked ‘OK’ on that very first page. Coincidence that this list is hidden that much? Me thinks not. They’re all switched on by default, but I am still a petty bitch that doesn’t want to give out her data, so I switched them all off. All 300+ of them. There is no option to switch them all off at once, and even if you disable all the options above, the companies are still switched on.
(If you wonder how i got that number, I copied the list into excel and looked at the cell number. No way am I actually counting all those entries)
I too, am a petty bitch who unticked every single one.
If you already clicked ‘OK’, go to Settings -> Privacy -> untick the cookie consent, which then leads back to the “before you continue” screen.
Fight the power
(ง’̀-‘́)ง
SIGNAL BOOST THIS SHIT
I had already clicked ‘OK’ without thinking, I’m glad I am able to go back and undo that.
