This seems like such a stupid question but.... library cards are free, right?? I just applied for one for the first time since I was a little kid and they didn't ask for any payment but in today's society it seems WILD that I could just..... go read so many books and watch dvds and listen to cds for free. Like. Existing costs money. And I can just go in and have full access to the whole library for FREE? Seems too good to be true lmao please reassure me

Nothing worse than when your partner says something really fucking funny and you go to immortalize it in no context text form and you have already forgotten the punchline.
Bean please for the love of God can I have at least one of my brain cells back. I am begging you.

it's sosososososososososo funny to realize how many ppl there are in my life currently who know nothing abt me other than the fact that i'm their petsitter and i drive a red station wagon and i have messy handwriting. This year has been WAY atypical for me--I did the same job all year, I lived in the same place, and maybe most significantly I didn't date anyone. I spent the year taking care of animals, traveling, reading, and learning. So maybe if you just met me, it'd be easy to assume that I've just sort of always had a stable, self-sufficient, simple way of living. Like, yeah! It suits me!
But i just. Have been so many things other than a pet sitter. The calmness of this year is totally aberrent in the context of my adult life. And I don't mean to "drop knowledge" on my clients, i just legitimately don't know how they perceive me and i'll mention something in passing that derails the entire conversation. The fact that i have more than a dozen novels published and out there. The fact that i have a late ex husband and his ashes are in a box under my bed. The fact that for many years I was the editor in chief of a real actual newspaper that these people still read. That I bought and sold my own house. That I was a fulltime caretaker for someone with debilitating schizophrenia. Or even just the benign jobs I've done to get by with academic editing/translation, being a baker, a copywriter, designing book covers professionally, being an "seo specialist" back when that was a viable thing, working as a library circulation clerk. That there was ever a time when I was a skinny blonde girl with no tattoos.
I'm happy that I've had a lot of variety and I'm happy that this year has been the way that it's been. And as I keep doing this, I'll have fewer conversations that stop halfway through with a 👀👀👀 moment, now that my clients are learning not to assume much about me.

this happened a few years ago but a guy at chipotle harassed me outside as I was walking in & it made me SO blindingly angry I paid for a drink but filled the cup with water & hot sauce then as I walked out he kept up the stupid shit so I flung hot sauce water on this guy's face, got in my car with my lil bag while he was rubbing his eyes screaming about calling the cops on me bc I was an insane bitch all I could think about was that he was lucky I didn't buy a glass bottle coke and hurl that at his fucking head from my car window

being neurodivergent is all fun and games until you remember those hourly quote bots on twitter and think well maybe I can't make a bot anymore but I could schedule a few quotes a day, that shouldn't be hard. it sounds fun to have a bunch of quotes of my favorite character Thirteen from hit mobile game Obey Me! and its sequel Obey Me! Nightbringer. and then you think about how arduous collecting the quotes is going to be but she's only been in the games for maybe a year and a half with little screentime and you love collecting things so you start but then you remember that you love collecting things so naturally you have ALL of her screentime in the game and suddenly you have 45k characters of quotes and are several lessons into season 4 (which is truly a trial in and of itself) but not nearly close enough to the end but you refuse to just stop collecting the quotes and make the account with the EXCESS of what you have already because you literally only have season 4 to get through and if you don't do it just seeing the bot (because now you've been informed you can make tumblr bots instead) will haunt you with that knowledge even if nobody else would ever know. this is a general anecdote of a situation that could easily happen to anyone though and not in any way related to my life

probably gonna be a shot in the dark but i need some assistance from project sekai players
sooooo w the 3rd anniversary and all the characters getting redesigned, i’ve been longing to get my hands on the live 2d models of the virtual singers’ new outfits as they’re reintroduced in the different sekai
but the problem is that i can’t find them anywhere 😭😭 the project sekai wiki has the models for all the characters’ different outfits after the 3rd anniversary EXCEPT for the characters i actually care about.
luckily, the sekai.best website has the models for all the virtual singers in their base sekai (band luka, idol rin, etc).
however as more events placed different vocaloids in the different sekai (luka in the street and idol sekai, meiko in the wonder sekai for example) and the card art showing off their new designs, i’m wondering if there are models for those new designs too. i can’t find them anywhere and they’re not on sekai.best 😭
do they even exist? i don’t play the japanese version of the game so that’s the main question. even tho the characters are getting new designs teased in card art, do they still use the old designs during conversations?? someone help me out here
