I'm inventing a new variant on chess I'm calling "sibling chess." It works like this: the older sibling sits on one side of the board and plays by moving the chess pieces normally, and the younger sibling sits on the other end of the board and plays by throwing bricks
Made a little drawing based off of this cute fic by @catradoramma:
Read it here!
Thanks for putting this into words! It was a really good and cute read!
I love you public history people I love you museum people I love you archivists and I LOVE YOU architectural historians!!!
Sometimes your worst fears are true. Sometimes you’ve annoyed a loved one. Sometimes you’ve even upset them or frustrated them.
But you know what? It doesn’t mean they’re done with you. It doesn’t mean they’re going to leave you.
It is normal to be annoying sometimes. It’s normal to not be perfect and to have off days. It’s normal for relationships to not be in perfect harmony all the time.
My point here is, yes, while sometimes they are true, it isn’t the end of everything. It’s actually quite normal. And you’re going to be okay.
I was annoyed by my partner earlier. He forgot to do something that was important. I also felt frustrated. It wasn’t a huge thing, but it still sucked. And you know what? I still love him! I’m going to marry him and I’m laying next to him while he sleeps thinking about how excited I am to spend my life with him!
Bitches love me bcz I’m so fucking earnest
She lets me hit because of my zest for life.
The hunger games: capitalism pits individuals against each other in order to prevent us from uniting against the systems in power that maintain our oppression

FOLKS, PLEASE…DO YOUSELVES A BIG BIG FAVOR AND STOP USING TURBOTAX! IT IS USELESS NOW!!!
THE IRS website will let you fill out and file your return THERE ON THE IRS SITE. You pay like $12 for the actual electronic filing process, and THAT’s IT!
Unless you have tremendous amounts of Schedule D stock shit, TurboTax is NOTHING BUT A RIPOFF!!!
The IRS website is EXCELLENT. They allow you to look up your past returns, and have every bit of information you MIGHT POSSIBLY NEED!
FUCK TURBOTAX!
LIBERATE YOURSELF FROM IT!!!!!!!
Actually, with Free File it’s FREE
No $12 fee
That’s the point of free
If you make less than an income threshold you get to file for FREE using various softwares that are REQUIRED to be and stay free or they lose the license to work with the IRS as part of the Free File program
If you make more than that threshold you can file for FREE using the Free File Fillable Forms where you type in numbers and click “do the math” and the website does all your math for you
Also fuck turbotax, I’m not even allowed to use it because it’s inaccurate enough that I’d get fired since Congress mandated all IRS employees’ taxes need to be PERFECT as a condition of employment
Here’s a list of free tax filing services, straight from the IRS website:
It tells you how much their income threshold is and if they’ll free file for you at the state level.
DO NOT PAY TO FILE YOUR TAXES IF YOU DO NOT HAVE TO.
So I did Free File yesterday, and I don’t think people realize how broad the eligibility is - it goes all the way up to $41,000 or less a year in adjusted gross income. (There are also even more generous eligibility standards for seniors and veterans, so you should check those out if you qualify). Odds are pretty good that you are among the 42% of Americans who fit into that bucket.
So screw the predatory TurboTaxes of the world and save yourself a couple hundred bucks a year.
Wish I would’ve known about this last week before I filed my taxes 🙃
