Now would be another GREAT time to donate to mutual aid orgs in Los Angeles that support our unhoused neighbors. There are 60,000 people outside in LA County right now.

Here are a couple orgs I know of, but feel free to share more!

There's a flash flood warning for parts of LA County (home to almost ten million people) until 9 am Monday morning.

Hey friends! I'm currently trying to spread around this survey for my MA thesis project—if you would be willing to share to help this reach a wider audience, it would be incredibly appreciated! ♡
If you’ve created a Spidersona, I’d love to hear your perspective & experience for my Master’s thesis—and this research will contribute to an academic article & a mini-documentary: forms.gle/wZVkJ9H27bnu...

Please share, and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

When people say they're motivated in their creative or professional pursuits by pettiness, that is actually shonen protagonist energy. That is your-rival-snubbed-you-once-and-now-you're-gonna-show-the-whole-world-you're-the-best kind of energy. You're not being petty. You're being anime.

Pro of writing a paper discussing the definition of "canon": you get to talk about fanfiction

Con of writing a paper discussing the definition of "canon": talking about fanfiction just makes you want to write fanfiction instead of making progress on said paper

Putting 67 different covers of Bloody Tears on a playlist and then placing said playlist on repeat is one of the more chaotic things I've, but so it goes
