I literally don’t have the space for any more physical books, but I’ve downloaded every Underrealm book on Kindle. I read The Alchemist’s Touch specifically because of this post and I seriously can’t recommend the Underrealm books enough. they are absolutely fantastic.

pieprincess-andthe-fallenangel

I don’t really read anymore, not like i used to. And of i get a masters this year like i am planning to then that isn’t going to change. But hell yes I’m going to go and buy these books because THIS is exactly the kind of thing that i want to support!

YISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

One day I will have a job and a bank account and I will have money from the job in the bank account and I will use some of the money to purchase these books

garrettauthor

Hey did you

did you know

did you know we have a podcast now and you can literally listen to the books for free.

(You probably didn’t. That’s okay because it’s very new).

It’s slower than buying and reading them, but it’s great if you have no book budget but you do have some listening time!

You could also beg your local library to get them.  Just saying.

garrettauthor

Asking your library to stock a book for you to read is one of the most helpful things you can possibly do for an author.

I think we should have a turn of phrase for "I'm not in the right, but I AM annoyed with this situation, so I just need to go bitch to a friend about this before I suck it up and go do the right thing" because more and more I'm finding this is a critical element of functional adulthood.

#the person who's re-emailed me asking for help with something: yes I should get back to you. yes I will get back to you#but in the meantime I will look at the email like 'I am busy right now! I have deadlines! do not bother me about this unrelated thing!'#and like in 15 minutes when I'm ready to be an adult again I'll get back to them

Okay I did it. I responded to the email and I was nice and informative and so very brave about it.

Anonymous asked:

Why is the crossdressing tag blocked? A search tells me the tag could contain content in violation of Tumblr’s community guidelines but what’s the reasoning there?

zingring answered:

I don’t know! I don’t think it should be. My guess is that it is sort of collaterally caught in the 2018 over-correction on adult material. One of the (very blunt) tools available to us at that time was to blacklist hundreds of terms that had been used in the past to spread legitimately forbidden content. I wasn’t with Tumblr at that time, so I can’t give particulars for this exact term, but I can say I think it’s long overdue for a comeback. It also sounds like folks can find content with the “cross dressing” tag, which is at least something until we can get this sorted.

Ok, at least "crossdressing" is fixed (along with some other associated tags that are similar).

Fixing these tags is a manual process and not exactly trivial. We do want to fix the ones that are not vectors for abuse (though bad actors will always come along and abuse whatever they can), but it will take us time. We want to do this in a unified way, rather than one-offs, so we can be thoughtful about it.

Not to keep reliving trauma on main, but I'm getting weird deja vu from where my health was a few years ago and where it's at now. And most of it is revolving around Good Omens.

In May of 2019, we genuinely thought I was dying because I was dying. My organs were in the process of shutting down because my red blood cells were prematurely self-destructing and damaging my kidneys in the process, and I was rapidly coming to terms with the fact that I might not survive much longer. I'd fought the good fight, and I'd lost. Mostly due to medical neglect. And I was mad about a lot of things, but do you know what I remember from the traumatic blur I'm left with?

"I'm going to be so pissed if I die before Good Omens comes out."

I'd waited 20+ years at that point for something like a tv adaptation of Good Omens. Ever since I was a child and my dad read the book to me, and I fell in love with it. And here I was, mere weeks away from the TV release and on the verge of death.

Then like a miracle, a miracle that hinged on human compassion and a doctor being willing to listen to me, I was saved. Dragged back from the jaws of death by a relentless hematology department that refused to give up on me and ultimately saved my life. And a week later, I got to watch Good Omens propped up in my own bed, still weak, still ill, with my heart stuttering in my chest every time I laughed. And I remember thinking, "I did it. I got to see it."

That it's now it's 2023 and my health has tanked again. My organs are rebelling against me and no one seems to know why. But yet again, a few weeks before Good Omens is set to release, I find a doctor who listens to me and is doing all he can to help. Striving with the grim kind of determination that can only come from a place of compassion and care. Like my world is worth saving, and not just his.

Which is rather fitting, I think.

I'm glad you'll be here for the next round. And it makes me a bit more determined that somehow we will finish the story.

Thank you, Neil. I hope so too.

I’m the world’s worse advocate for wasps. Everytime I see people repeating bees=nice good pollinators wasps=bad stinging meanies, I face a deep internal struggle trying to explain how they are important to the environment without explaining wasp facts that freak them out in ways they never even thought

dimetrodone

“Bees might be cuter and make honey, but wasps are VERY important too, some of them are necessary as pollinators themselves! Hey anyways you wanna hear some fucked up things about figs?”

dimetrodone

“You hate wasps? Well think of a bug that you hate more then wasps. There’s probably a parasitoid wasp that lays their eggs inside them and their babies to devour them alive from the inside, reducing that insect species’ population!”

“Your least favourite bug is parasitoid wasps now? Well you are gonna be THRILLED and CONFLICTED about the existence of hyperparasitic wasps.”
