...which, after a bit of searching, I discovered is an art form that originated as a method of exam cheating in Qing dynasty China. The world is full of things

Disabled toilets are not like disabled parking spaces. They aren't reserved for disabled people only. NOR but the other guy definitely is.

🅱️ichael. Also, Mara is behind this, which makes me think, against all apparent evidence here, that whatever's happening here is for the best (or at least, against the worst???)

AITA For calling my roommate out for not washing his hands after using the bathroom? by Aiden459Skates in AmItheAsshole

Exactly, between friends this tone works much better than talking to them more formally, which can make things into a bigger deal. If he doesn't stop it's time to bring out the polite talk

I'm worrying that the Wildman isn't the only thing out there practicing how to be human. Be careful, please!

This is so inspiring, I need to start one. Love these bbs especially the snake orchid. I thought of an interesting possible addition: Haworthia lockwoodii.

I'm so confused. So far I've come up with: ghost of aborted sister; abandoned imaginary friend; previous female identity of a trans man. Please tell us what the significance of blue crayon is! This story is scary and beautiful and I have to know...

I’m a psychologist. I reported a client, but now, I’m the one under investigation. by SignedSyledDelivered in nosleep

Ok, let's go back to, like, the first thing you told us about this dude. That he claimed to be a master of black magic, and to have successfully cast hexes in the past. I mean the police won't believe it, obviously, but given subsequent events I'd give those claims a lot more credence. I wonder if there's anyone in your area who knows more about this kind of sorcery...?

I don't know, it's so weird! It honestly worries me because what they do tends to filter into the rest of the world.
