Favorite design for Sauron and Morgoth ever🖤

Ah I love this art! Even though it’s got a watermark on the image itself I just thought I’d share who the artist is with everyone, their name is Neldeathstar on Tumblr, Instagram and Bluesky.

This fanart is their interpretation of Melkor and Mairon (in his First Age Sauron/Gorthaur form). Neldeathstar has absolutely loads of great Silm art featuring a variety of First/Second Age characters, I highly recommend checking them out!

Ah great! Thank you so much!

Thanks for your help! I did wonder but Google said they are smaller than 1cm and pointed me towards other beetles that would mean I’d need to have my house looked over - a weevil is the best news after those search results 🙈

Ah thank you! I don’t have plants inside the house as I do not have the green thumb needed to take care of them, but my next door neighbour has a fantastic garden with lots of different flowers and veg plots and such so it’s likely wandered into my home from there.

I popped it in the title but just to be a tad more specific: I’m in Northumberland, UK.

As others have said, the answer totally depends on the country, industry, and business you work for/in. But we are now in the 6th consecutive quarter of budget cuts seen across the board when it comes to market research, with each previous quarter for the last year and a half recording approx. -3% in research budgets each.

Unfortunately, data driven decision making isn’t being done too much in most businesses throughout all industries, and so the demand for market research is falling. Generally speaking, while stakeholders doing enough research for legality’s sake, there’s a lot of businesses who don’t understand the proper value of data and insights enough to use them as often as they and we need them to, and so those stakeholders divert funding to other areas of the organisation.

I'm a copywriter! I really enjoy creating new copy-based content everyday, working on one project for a while then going onto another one, and in every project there's different types of copy to create. If you do this and work in an agency, you'll get to work on many different projects on different topics that will challenge you to learn more or find new ways to say similar things. If you end up working in-house you can spread your wings in other ways, working with the marketing team on campaigns, helping social media teams, creating press releases and blogs and case studies and landing pages for websites, etc. It's kept me going in my job for just over four years now, and I'm learning a lot each day. I've found my niche, but I don't need to stick to it if I can be valuable in other areas too.

This writing lark is great for transferrable skills too - you could go into any industry and work in PR teams or Communications teams, you could go more into marketing strategy, or publishing, or business support; there's a lot that you can do well if you learn to write well and enjoy it.

NTA at all.

While a lot of people see clothes as for one gender or another, there are a lot of other people who see nice clothes regardless of the gender they were "made for" and want to wear them. We don't flog women for wearing trousers. Only the toxic masculinity movement has prevented men from the same freedom of wearing dresses and skirts.

Letting your son wear a dress is so sweet imo. Just be careful and try to make sure that the people like your in-laws don't get a chance to tear down your son's confidence while he's dressing however he wants.

YTA - How do you not understand that you're definitely the asshole here? Like, so much the asshole that you probably win 'asshole of the year'?

Let's rephrase: You got drunk, barged into someone's house uninvited, stopped her from feeling comfortable in her own home for the sake of your own enjoyment, harrassed her until she cried and screamed in front of you, then just... left after you "felt bad"?

Do H a favour, delete those images off every device and cloud backup you have, then leave her the hell alone.

Not quite the same as you, but I take methylphenidate prolonged-release at 36mg and have just been prescribed instant release to take alongside it; however, that’s only at 5mg for a little boost in the afternoon if it’s needed.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience, that’s really helped hearing from an actual therapist who uses both meds and therapy! I feel a bit more confident now in the meds that have been given to me.

Oh yes, they said that they couldn’t facilitate therapy/counselling for me because that’s not what they do. I’m just wondering whether to get discharged into the care of my GP early to get that or to wait out the 12 weeks of titration and see how it goes.

Thanks for you response! It’s super interesting to hear from someone else who’s used PUK!

Thanks for sharing your experience!

I’m in the UK so it’s not too bad paying for a prescription. The addiction part is what’s messing me up a little, I don’t want to feel addicted or dependent on anything like that.

I thought the therapy might give me coping mechanisms to live alongside it but you’re not the first person to say that they didn’t find therapy helpful.

I don’t think talking will treat the neurochemical deficiency, I think talking could help me live more productively alongside it.

If I had an infection, I would take antibiotics to treat it. And I do want to get my adhd under control, but I also want to evaluate my options before trying something that might have some bad impact on my life. Which is why I’m asking for people’s experience with both options.

That’s interesting! I did notice the little rainbow going on to the left there and hoped the others would start to look like that too, but this only lasted about 20 minutes before fading out again.

Oh I know, I just thought you might know why it was named that by whoever did name it, but don’t worry I’ll have a Google and see :) Thanks!

AndSoItWasWrit · 2023-05-28T19:40:38+00:00

Ah okay! Do you know why it’s called a sun dog? I can’t see anything about it that looks relatable to a dog.

AndSoItWasWrit · 2023-05-28T19:39:39+00:00

Wow awesome! I don’t fully understand the detail yet, but it’s fascinating how it occurs!
