So I have…. A Lot of dead stock charms that were expensive to print but don’t sell online at all (and barely moved in person) so I’m running a massive sale where you just pay shipping and I’ll mail you as many charms as you want from this list, comment if interested!! (Starscream is out of stock)
~3” Googly Eye Shake Charms depicting characters clutched by an emoji hand, their eyes shaking around.

Characters are Power, Vash, Bettel, Gura, Catra, Zagreus, Starscream, Alistair, Jester, Stede, Izzy, Saul Goodman, and Eddie Munson

I am dyslexic. Contrary to popular belief, I am not a bad reader. I am a very good reader. However, I am also a very slow reader. By the time I was in high school, I could not finish a lot of my reading assignments by the deadlines. Graphic novel adaptations saved me.

FF7 scenarios with pre-rendered backgrounds were always a mystery to me during childhood; but even to this day it's still something that amazes me. Now you can inspect every single Final Fantasy VII stage, including the 3D path + variations. #FF7 #FinalFantasy #FFVII #PS1 #PSX #RetroGame

Just woke myself up out of a dream where I was competing in a cosplay contest. as soon as I got next to the stage in the minutes before my go, I suddenly realized I couldn't remember my skit. Also I was doing a skit?? It involved ghosts + set in some period of Japan's past

It's bi visibility day! Remember: bi doesn't mean only men or women, it means attraction to at at least two genders. Also, a cis-seeming relationship could be two gender weirdos in a trenchcoat (it's me, I'm gender weirdos in a trenchcoat)

Friendly reminder that Duolingo was initially concieved to trick people into translating articles for free, which they later used as training data for MTL algorithms. Duolingo's primary purpose has NEVER been about teaching you a language, even from the start! slate.com/technology/2...
If it doesn’t charge users and, so far, doesn’t serve them any ads, how does Duolingo make money? It tricks you into working as an unpaid translation service. At the end of some lessons, Duolingo will ask you if you want to practice by translating a real-world document. Which will turn out to be, say, a BuzzFeed article. By melding together enough stabs at this task from high-level Duolingo users, the app can render a surprisingly accurate translation. Which is worth good money. So far, Duolingo has contracts with BuzzFeed and CNN to translate stories from English into languages such as Spanish, French, and Portuguese. This service is already earning Duolingo hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but von Ahn predicts he will be adding a raft of new clients soon. “The language translations market is huge,” he says. “It’s a $30 billion per year market.”

I haven't worked on any cosplay since SJ, though I have cleaned my workspace, done some fabric and pattern shopping, and cleaned + put away all SJ costumes over the last two weeks, so that's still something. Just wish I had the desire + energy to actually make right now.
