Dear fanfic writers
If you write a story in which you talk about a banker having “stalks” or a “stalk portfolio”, I am going to instantly lose all respect for you.
I’m also going to assume you’re about twelve.

New Followers: New Vocabulary
yarnlettings:
Ply- yarn is made by spinning your fiber (wool, alpaca, silk, buffalo fur, pet fur, camel fur, etc) into thin strands. Those first thin strands are plies. Then you spin those together, two at a time, then spin the two-ply strands with other ones and so on, until the yarn is as thick as you want it.
[emphasis mine]
I wanted to point out that this is not actually true. Singles...

I have not spoken French on a regular basis in twelve years.
So, dear brain, WHY do you still attempt to switch over into French sometimes? Why do you even try? You can’t even remember all the pronouns!
PS: I know you’ve been injured several times, dear brain, so I will forgive you for having trouble thinking of the English word equivalents sometimes. That said, why are you still...

Like, I love knitting, and am proud to be a hardcore knitta, but there are some things you can do with crochet that you just can’t do with knitting.
As much as I truly love to joke about ~yarn wars~, mad props to all the bicraftuals out there. You have my admiration.
Eventually I want to do tatting and bobbin lace and needle lace too. I’ve done weaving (wish I knew...

What Color Is Your Rainbow?
thingsityearnstoknow:
alaskan-bullw0rm:
azzbuttz:
Your rainbow is strongly shaded gray.
What is says about you: You are an elegant person. You appreciate tradition and wisdom that comes with age. You depend on modern technology and may feel uncomfortable without it.
Welp. I’m not surprised.
oh NICE...

even if you’re joking there’s literally no need at all to use the word tranny

Get NoScript for Firefox. Then you can blacklist the music players. It also makes most websites load faster, and partially keeps Google from tracking you across the web. It takes some work to train it up right, but once you get used to it, it’s...

Endless Butt “My butt,” sings Psylocke. “There’s only you ‘bove my thighs, the only thing that’s round.” But seriously, check out these weird looking asses: See, these comic guys are so in love with asses that they take all the time to draw them, and completely forget about the fact…

Unpopular Supernatural season 3 opinion
This season, and possibly this whole series, would have been a lot more interesting if Sam and Dean were better Slytherins.
Step 1: Agree to lead demon army.
Step 2: Gank yellow-eyes.
Step 3: Lead revolution in hell with newly-acquired army.
Step 4: Reform hell from the inside.
Step 5: ???
Step 6: Profit.
Now that would be an awesome series.

Henry Miller: “Don’t be nervous. Work calmly, joyously, recklessly on whatever is in hand.”
Neil Gaiman: “The main rule of writing is that if you do it with enough assurance and confidence, you’re allowed to do whatever you like.”
Richard Ford:...

I just had a crazy wild sex dream about three people I think were supposed to be the Supernatural brothers plus ???. Except in the dream they were named Matthew, Michel, and John. It was definitely not John Winchester. Also, he had a vagina. Well, one of them did, anyway.
And it took place at my childhood home.
I think there was also a subplot about how I was going to die shortly? But...
