Hey. I'm Melissa and I'm from Brooklyn. I play a bunch of instruments, sing, and write lyrics. My favorite pastimes include playing with words, making puns, and pretending that I'm funny.
(And sometimes I cosplay)

special selection of screenshots from when my friends and i watched spongebob on some TOTALLY LEGAL site and the captions were from the wrong episodes for some reason
people are cowards about fantasy settings and not including some things in em. I get the aversion to not wanting too modern of tech, however dwarves would invent and fucking love metal folding chairs
They invented them as a weapon first then later discovered their use as a seating option
Not that that isn’t funny, but consider this:
Everything built by every other species is always *too high*. So they had to invent a small, portable folding ladder in order to avoid the embarrassment of having to ask for help.
Which was metal, obviously, for strength and durability and making it useful as an impromptu clubbing weapon.
And then one dwarf looked at his ladder one day, and thought “y’know, if I put a seat on this, it could do *three* things,”
Carrying around a folding chair would become a symbol of ambassador dwarves or adventurer dwarves. Some might even dispense of traditional weaponry since the folding chair is multi-use and doing so lightens packs
“My dad wanted me to bring an axe,” the young dwarf says. They rolls their eyes, adjusting the strap of their folding chair along their back. The sunlight gleams off its reinforced back. “Like, get with the times, you know?”
I used to be popular on this site a long time ago but now no one uses tumblr anymore and my notes are in the garbage. I have tens of thousands of dead and abandoned accounts following me. I’m the queen of hell.
Companies nowadays are getting SO comfortable asking for our social security numbers.
Like why tf does Optimum need my social to install wifi? They’re just an internet provider, they don’t need my social. I don’t care that the last people living at my location didn’t pay their bill, there are a dozen other ways to prove that I’m not them without me handing over my social.
Anyway, hot tip, legally you can refuse to give your social security in unnecessary cases like this. If a company needs to prove that you are who you say you are, they have alternative ways to do so.
People who have a legal right to your social security number:
1. The government.
2. People who are giving you a paycheck.
That’s it. That’s everybody. Everyone else can fuck alllllll the way off.
I’m am so done with fucking medical providers trying to weasel my SSN out of me. I have spent decades arguaplaining to officious receptionists in medical offices that it’s illegal for them to require me to give them my social security number and they should not be asking for it.
Do you know how many businesses, medical providers, etc. get hacked on the daily? Right. Don’t give out your social security number.
THIS. Not sure where the sudden push came from, but ^^^^ THAT.
If someone who is NOT on that list there asks you for yours, calmly tell them, “I am not comfortable giving that information to you now/over the phone.”
I do this when ever I’m asked for mine and 9/10 the person I am talking to does a neat little verbal U turn and asks for some other ‘verification’.
Also, since it’s related, remember that government organizations DO NOT call you to contact you. The government sends LETTERS. Usually more than one even.
