I know this is a tired, (hopefully) well-known idea, but it bears repeating.

The idea that “money doesn’t buy happiness” most often comes from a place of inherent privilege and comfort.

Sure, money doesn’t buy “happiness”, but it can buy that set of markers you’ve been eying, or a new sketchbook because your old one is finally out of space, or a tablet and pen because you’ve really been wanting to try out digital art.

It can buy piping tips and bags, new cake pans, cupcake liners, food coloring that you’re sure will give you the right result this time—

It can buy books, video games and gaming systems, candles and face masks, nail polish and makeup, cosplay material, and more.

It can buy a vacation to that one place that’s been of your bucket list for years, or dinner with friends, or a plane ticket so you can go home for Christmas this year.

It can buy the basic fucking necessities of life—food, water, housing, clothing, education, etc. I don’t know about you, but knowing that I can feed myself tomorrow, or for the next week, or for the next month makes me pretty damn happy.

You may not need money to be happy, but you sure as hell need hobbies, and people, and a roof over your head, and sustenance.

Don’t be ignorant.

“Oh my god you’re a writer? Can I read your stuff?”

I’ve discovered, during my many firefly-catching excursions, that if I use my phone flashlight to see them, they will flee rapidly away from me.

I was going to mock this, as it’s basically a giant firefly, but then I realized that if an enormous human randomly spawned from the dead of night and began chasing me, I too would Usain-fucking-Bolt in the opposite direction.

Okay, so Jason’s alive, right? Duh. Dug himself out of his grave, yada, yada, yada…

But…what about his grave?

Like, it still has to be there right? To the public, Jason’s still dead, so it would be extremely suspicious if word got out that Bruce Wayne had removed his beloved late son’s grave. Total front-page-worthy scandal.

What I’m saying is: Jason Todd absolutely has a photo of himself posing in front of his own grave, Grant-Gustin-style.

It’s framed.

You come to understand when working with small children that you will never be truly prepared for the crazy bullshit they will pull.

Today I had a group of children create a new language and begin what I believe to have been a summoning ritual.

It had only been ten minutes.

At my work, there are two different sizes of burger patty, meaning that it is a completely normal occurrence to hear someone shout about “needing big meat” from across the kitchen

I would make a terrible witness/accomplice to a crime, because my brain does not compute what other people are saying like 50% of the time. Someone will say something to me offhandedly and I’ll have to ask them to repeat themself like 5 times. So if the police showed up asking me about someone’s criminal plan, I’d be completely useless because there is a high chance that I was in “smile-and-wave” mode while they were explaining it to me.

“Sweetie, that’s a mass murderer.”

Passed a billboard and I now want nothing more than to meet the person who thought it’d be a good idea to name their business “Uranus Fudge Factory”

Say what you want about them, but the Wilson family has i m p e c c a b l e taste in aliases.

Ravager? Deathstroke? Jericho? Twilight? Terminator? Legacy? Respawn? (I got half of these from the wiki, so don’t come after me if they’re wrong.)

Unbelievably badass.

"oh sorry, i guess i was infodumping again" - sad, shy, apologetic

Why is AO3 always fully funded you ask? Because AO3 goes down unexpectedly on a Friday night and everyone loses their goddamn minds. Who are we without AO3 but shells of ourselves?

Tip from a history nerd: If you’ve forgotten the first name of a male historical figure and he is from England or the U.S, there is an 80% chance it’s John
