Twokinds 23rd anniversary!

I really like Tom's style. It's a great balance between detail and simplicity, playfulness and seriousness, etc. Also, 23 years is a hecking long time! I remember seeing Twokinds art 15 years ago, when I first got interested in the furry fandom, and I associate so much nostalgia with it :3

I don't believe in the rule

The stock market is the weirdest thing to me. You can buy stocks and sell them for a profit later, but it's hard to know which ones will be successful, so it's a bit like gambling. You can also get dividends from them, but that's just wages stolen from the workers. I get the basic idea of shareholders financing a business by buying stocks and getting something in return, but at the end of the day, it's just another playground for the rich.

I love submitting applications only to be rejected every single time, it's my favourite pastime! My favourite part is when you have an interview or some test, and they tell you they'll be in touch by the end of next week, but then you don't hear anything until next month. Every time that happens, I know they don't want me but would take me if they couldn't find someone else. If I was unqualified, they'd reject me right off the bat, but I guess I'm just unlikable (or give HR red flags because my life doesn't revolve around work, idk)

They don't check those "tell us about" answers, but then they want a reference for an unrelated job I had when I was between jobs 10 years ago lmao. I appreciate your perspective. It often feels like everybody is doing fine all the time, and it's good to hear that I'm not the only one who just doesn't understand the point of this whole process.

Yeah, and when I try to do that, I fail miserably. It feels like everybody involved in the hiring process is incredibly "corporate-brained", and I'm very obviously not. I'm also pretty awkward when I don't know the person I'm talking to, which doesn't help. Why does this whole circus have to exist, the deception and lying?

_____ Rule

Wiktionary says

In the original result of the Wug Test, children consistently produced wugs for the plural. However, plurals other than the standard wugs are sometimes used humorously, including wuggen (by analogy with oxen), weeg, and wuggi (by analogy with Latinate plurals).

Wuggi sounds nice. Huggy wuggi :3

Chemestry is… well, technically, chemestry is the study of metter. But I prefer to see it as the study of chenge. Now just… just think about this. Electrens. They chenge their energy levels. Melecules. Melecules chenge their bonds. Elements. They combine and chenge into compounds. That’s… that’s all of life. Right? It’s just, it’s the constent. It’s the cycle. It’s selution, disselution, just over and over and over. It is grewth, then decey, then trensformation. It is fescinating, really.
