I hate the pivot to video I hate listening to some morons obnoxious voice and watching their stupid face to receive a message that could have been conveyed in 45s and 1kb in 3min and 150mb instead I hate being thrall to the tyranny of linear viewing rather than glancing around the file I hate not being able to copypaste and I hate ppl playing this withering vampiric drain on my finite quantities of attention and patience and capacity for analysis as some heroic blow for the rights of the disabled as though they are not equally being victimised by it
I hate the tacit assumption that I’m supposed to form some sort of parasocial relationship with a goddamned software troubleshooting guide because apparently that’s what conventional wisdom in marketing says brings in the dollars these days

Iceland is fucking bizarre my name change made the news
Like just @ me at this point I’m literally the only person in iceland (and very possibly the world) who has the first name Lauf
(Article title reads “Lauf and Birningur in group of new names in the name register”)
No one lives here so now two of our biggest news outlets are vagueing about me lmao
Hmm you’re right. Correction: two of our biggest media outlets are talking about me specifically because they are obsessed with me
This morning I showed up to work and my boss was like “congratulations :))” and I was kinda confused so asked her on what and she said “your name, I heard about it on the radio”
So far I have counted two online articles and apparently the radio is also talking about my name change so I’ll keep you guys updated when I’m on national tv or something
With a little legwork we can make more people on Tumblr see this than the entire population of Iceland.

A half-elf conwoman (and the moth tasked with keeping her out of trouble) travel the Jewel in search of, uh, whatever a fashionable accessory is pointing them at.
Last time, the party confronted the manager of Cabana Jim’s Luxury Resort and Spa, Miriko Watchwood. Her attempt to reestablish vampiric dominance over the resort in the wake of Cabana Jim’s death was ill-advised and doomed, and they successfully foiled it with a combination of cool-headed diplomacy and brutal emotional manipulation. And now… they want to recruit her???
