Dispatch from the War on Christmas™

Guilty how? I feel like a bother. I know I am often a burden on other people around me due to personal issues that I need to manage better so in a way I guess yeah but also idk if it is actively guilt I feel

mewy cwismis

It particularly sucks cuz I feel like my discomfort around the person from that point hinders my partner from enjoying their time. Sometimes it's easier when I don't interact with people but we also are very much interested in a mutual arrangement. So yeah, skill issue on me ig

Something that always sucks to hear in a more flexible relationship like what I'm in is when someone says "they don't swing that way" cuz either it's blatantly transphobic or it's intentionally hitting right on the point of "I don't have access to HRT yet" and neither feels good.

Ugh I despise these types of people and in this case I don't refer to their bigotry even if bigots also suck. No, it's this pretend of "Oh if you had just been nice to me after I was rude to you I'd have come to your side" and like nah if you actually cared to hear us out, you wouldn't be an ass

Dear Artist Alley Participants, We are writing to inform you of an important change regarding two of our longstanding Artist Alley programs: the Rebook Program and the Veteran Program. After careful consideration, and a thorough review of how we can best support our diverse and dynamic Artist Alley community, we have made the decision to retire both the Rebook and Veteran programs, effective starting this upcoming Anime Expo 2025. These programs have been instrumental in recognizing the commitment of our returning artists, and we are deeply grateful for the contributions of all who participated over the years. However, as we continue to evolve and adapt to the needs of our community, we believe that this change will allow us to explore new ways to support all our participants and offer a more inclusive experience for everyone. As we move forward, we are excited to announce that we will be adopting a new lottery system for Artist Alley registration. This system will ensure a fair process for both returning and first-time artists, offering everyone an equal chance to secure a spot in the event. Further details regarding the new lottery system will be shared soon. We understand that these changes may raise some questions, and we want to assure you that we remain committed to supporting all our artists. If you have any questions or would like further clarification, please feel free to reach out to us at artistalley@anime-expo.org. Warm regards, Anime Expo Show Management

Anime Expo is getting rid of table rebooking for artists in favor of a lottery system. This is devastating to those of us that depend on this event for a significant portion of our livelihoods. Please let them know this change is a bad one.

A comic. Bex is staring into space with a blank and tired expression. The text reads, "There are so many things I need to do right now. Why am I not doing any of them?! I'm making everything harder for myself in the long run... ...please just do SOMETHING!" as the text gets more frantic, a glitch effect spreads over Bex, increasing with her desperation.

Please Just Do Something

I made some frankly preposterously good looking spaghetti for the kids. Fresh parm, homemade meatballs, fresh chopped basil. Restaurant looking stuff.

My 6 year old: Dad can I say heck?
Me: sure buddy:
My 6 year old: This spaghetti looks good as fuck.

Homeboy stopped the wrong lady

Dear Bluesky,

Thanks for being so welcoming to so many wonderful new arrivals……and for NOT being welcoming to the bigoted pricks.

Love,

God

A picture of a bunch of people at a table with the green glass office lamps. One guy looks engaged in debate with his hands in a triangle shape touching the tips of his fingers together. Text reads: DM: Here's a simple puzzle that will take them less than ten minutes The party coming across said puzzle: This is beyond science

My DM sent this to us after last night’s session when we spent an hour trying to figure out how to get ourselves out of a sticky situation.

Mcfooken who did that? What? Ain't no way

Thou shalt not blame a healthcare CEO’s murder on *checks notes* the video game “Among Us.”

With Elon Musk, an unelected plutocrat, six weeks from becoming co-President of the United States, many people are just starting to research who he really is—that is, beyond the basics most already know.

Or, rather, think they know—as most of those basics are untrue.

This thread reveals the truth.

Ooh pretty sure they're the same generation for mine. Technically Darkrai would be it but like if we're keeping it grounded it's so easily Cyndaquil since I could remember having opinions on anything

Pokemon Chikorita

Favorite Pokémon post?
I'll start mine for some reason is Chikorita. 😅

As long as it's a good read it can be a newbie or a 50th book veteran. As for the soundtrack, my preference is just the reader and the sound of pages. For some reason the page turning being heard every so often is always a bonus imo.

Embroidery helps, though

A stylized cover art for the book titled "Beyond the Mark: Ashes of the Hero," featuring a silhouette of a cloaked figure in a dark, magical forest. The figure, shrouded in shadow, is holding a glowing sword with a vibrant red hue. Intricate patterns adorn the figure's cloak, evoking a sense of mystery and fantasy. The background showcases an eerie forest with bare, twisted trees and ethereal lights, creating a mystical and foreboding atmosphere. In the distance, a castle with spires looms against a pale, glowing sky, adding a sense of adventure and danger to the scene. The title is prominently displayed at the top in bold, stylized lettering, with a vivid gradient effect that contrasts with the darker tones of the artwork. The overall composition conveys themes of heroism, darkness, and a journey into the unknown.

UPDATED POST ❤️🎉

I realize not many people have Kindle Unlimited, so I put the eBook version of Beyond The Mark down to the lowest I could on Amazon, which is $0.99

Hope this helps it become more accessible, I'd rather continue the story than make money, so I hope you enjoy!

Wouldn't*

Only slightly late on the typo correction. But the point made sense anyway lol

I haven't looked into it but if I were to make a guess, it probably requires information that is only accessible if you own the domain but that stuff doesn't really make sense to people intuitively.
