Hi all, Minnesota's favorite deep sea horror reaching out with another mutual aid request. My brother's cat Goob is recently diagnosed diabetic, and he's raising funds to cover the emergency vet bill. Anything helps! gofund.me/a0398cc52

Look, this RPG book and set of teal dice just happened to fall into my bag! What was I supposed to do, *not* buy them??? Unrelated, anyone want to play Visigoths vs. Mall Goths? I might make this the first game I run

I'm currently sick and this post made me laugh myself into a coughing fit

A Tumblr post from the following users:

Hey students, here's a pro tip: do not write an email to your prof while you're seriously sick.

Signed, a person who somehow came up with "dear hello, I am sick and not sure if I'll be alive to come tomorrow and I'm sorry, best slutantions, [name]".

I mean, if someone wrote that to me, I'd probably believe they were sick.
