OK enough ruminating on old relationships, I have (checks notes) catholic cardinals to draw

I have gone between two all encompassing soul devouring extremes this month, one was james bond, the other is ascanio sforza, and neither will let me SLEEP

i have understood so many things about online leftist culture by the fact that when i said "your local community has people you will morally and politically disagree with but you cannot lock them out of accessing any tangible service you’re organising" one of the tags responding said "this isn’t about proshippers in here you’re not welcome" like. folks. focus with me. some of us are homeless here.

in my humble opinion, the moment you know you or a friend truly in it as a sports fan is if you have beef with sports reporters. officially in the trenches

ngl I do feel like if I block someone, it should also banish posts that someone that I follow reblogs from them even if they're not the OP of the post

Genuinely insane that George W Bush can go to like, starbucks or whalgreens or whatever without the constant fear that anyone he meets might start ripping at him with their hands and teeth like a baboon as soon as they lock eyes on him

a lot of my friends make their living as sewists & costumers and something i see a lot is that they’re selling custom commissions made from shirt/pants/dress etc. patterns that they painstakingly created and through hard work & a little luck a video of the pieces gets “viral” views and the comments are absolutely filled with people asking then to sell the pattern instead, specifically because it would be cheaper.

i understand the desire for access to gorgeous indie pieces & i know it can be frustrating that they’re out of our price range, but small designers are under no obligation to release their custom-made patterns.

i say this because i have genuinely seen drama across social media devolving into hate toward fibre artists who don’t release patterns to clothes/knit/crochet pieces they’re actively selling in their stores.

there are so so so so so many cheap & even free patterns available online that you can definitely find one similar to the piece you’re admiring, and with some practice you can learn to alter or even create patterns to replicate pieces you see online. you really don’t need to be badgering small artists.

I was re reading inkheart yesterday and it's still got the magic tbh

[attila-werther]

what's a book you read as a teenager that was so magical and personally profound to you it literally changed your life, doesnt matter if the book was actually well written or not. mine's probably the catcher in the rye

I forgot about all the sex that was supposed to be in this story

the quest to invent my own intelligence agency alphabet soup has me going places for sure.

I FUCKING PULLED IT OFF, alphabet soup intelligence agencies invented, espionage plot blocked out, characters named, fake budgets for all departments figured out. I'm Going Back To Bed Now.

anyway the MI6 book briefly goes into how the US uses intelligence in the government economy of legislation and policy making and I feel like I'm just slowly losing hit points with every new sentence.

honestly seems like a baffling oversight for a book on the structures of western intelligence agencies to discuss MI5/SIS/MI6/etc, the FBI/CIA/etc, and then jump to, very specifically, italian intelligence operations under the fascist gov't during WWII, skipping entirely over the french DGSE. what kind of comparative text are you.

I've got a stack of dense reading material for this stupid horny spy thriller comic but the part that took the longest and required the most effort was figuring out a name for one of my principal characters. I finally decided on one last night and I might change it again.
