I Adore This Silly Little Merchant Man And His Little Togepi Daughter

Sorry for double posting but APPARENTLY those commission scammers have showed up on Tumblr at least for the first time for me.

For those who don’t know what I am talking about, there were/are commission scams going on in Instagram and even places like Artstation where people would pretend to be interested in your work and try to commission a pet or portrait for the sake of trying to get your bank details. Here’s how to (somewhat) sniff them out:

1- They don’t seem to be an average customer/ person that would be involved in your fandom, or has a blank template for an account or don’t even follow you.

2- They ask you to draw a portrait or a pet picture either for themselves or their children/family.

3- They promise to overpay you (in the hundreds) and do not listen to you even if you firmly state the price is cheaper.

4- They are constantly asking for your email name, or private details regarding things like banking details or passwords or other private information others should not know.

5- They try and over reassure you they mean no harm, try to guilt you into giving them the info, or become aggressive over you not giving them what they want.

What should you do if you come across one of these guys? My best advice is to block and report. Sadly these people jump account to account so there isn’t really much to do other than spread this info to prevent artists from being scammed.

im so not normal about ena dream bbq rn. spoilers under the cut. not long but yeah

bro is the boss GOD??? IS THIS GAME ABOUT RELIGOUS TRAUMA?!?!? BATHROOM CONFESSIONAL??? THIS GAME IS FUCKING INSANE AJD I NEED TI DRAW MORE FANART NOW.

My wife and I have a little game we play called "Speaking From Ignorance."

To play Speaking From Ignorance, all you need is a phone with a voice recorder, and another person who knows considerably more or considerably less about a topic than you do. The topic can be anything: from "how to bake a quiche" to "what happens in the Peter Jackson Hobbit movies" to "who is Florence Pugh" to "how does the traveling salesman problem work." All that matters is that one of you has a firm grasp on the material, and one of you absolutely the fuck does not.

Then the person who knows about the topic turns on the recorder, and says to the person who knows barely anything: "Hey - tell me everything you think you know about [X]."

The speaker is then not allowed to ask any questions. Nor is the expert allowed to volunteer any information. The expert is allowed to pipe up with a faintly incredulous "Oh--really? Do you--do you think so?" from time to time, but for the most part, the expert's job is just to sit there and make encouraging sounds while the speaker digs their own grave.

This is never not funny.

The reason you record it is because, very often, the first thing the speaker wants to do after finishing the recording is find out how you actually make a quiche, or whatever. Then you both get to go back and listen to how wrong they were.

We have a small library now of Speaking From Ignorance recordings, and I'm going to be listening to them until I'm eighty.

LOOK AT THESE NERDS!!!

Supreme Court allows Trump to freeze dozens of teacher training grants | CNN Politics

The Supreme Court on Friday allowed President Donald Trump to temporarily freeze millions of dollars in grants to states for addressing teac

i just am completely lacking the words and dialect to express how completely and utterly saddened i am. for those who dont know, there is a huge ass teacher shortage, and my state offers 10k dollars in grants to new student teachers. so many people in college would have benefited from these grants in terms of transportation, paying for college, paying for food to eat, class materials and books, etc— and now the fact that i and so many others may lose this before we even have the chance to see it is. is just. i dont even know how to process it. teachers are ridiculously undervalued and under appreciated individuals who really do make sacrifices everyday, and they are awarded so little when they should be awarded so much.

education is important. educators deserve to eat.
