Turns out working at DFTBA for a long time means that if you brag about me to how much a company gives to charity I will break out a calculator to figure out what percentage of your profit that is and I WILL judge you if it‘s comparatively pocket change.

What level of tired is it when the only words you can think of to describe noted artist Joseph Mallord William Turner‘s style is “brush slut?”

This career is wild. I’m supposed to be a merch designer, project manger, social media manager, convention logistics manager, book keeper, R&D, and probably more AND THEN somehow find time to go to the gym, cook healthy food, and have meaningful relationships.

Do you remember making potions as a kid, and yearn for that experience as an adult? Do you like making delicious treats but hate the oven in the summer? Do you have someone who's neck you want to wring? Do you need to work out your grip strength? Try my favorite fancy lemonade recipe!

A friend of mine just got their wisdom teeth removed which reminded me that when I got mine out I woke up from the anesthesia in a completely empty room with a red rose on my chest.
Did anyone else have this experience or did I like, briefly die or something. The people (me) need answers.
