Song of the Day: September 4
“Paint My Face” by The Devil Makes Three
#song of the day#looking for a quote I knew I had written down in one of my 'going to want to read this one again' folders#(the quote was by Starke of howtofightwrite:#'Full plate works fantastically against some weapons‚ but‚ ultimately‚ if you're a giant bell and someone else has a hammer‚#I can completely botch a metaphor.'#I wanted this quote in relation to a tangent from an explanation I was giving Duncan about Mandalorians and slug-throwers#this is very how my mind works)#and I first looked for 'hammer' and found the beloved howtofightwrite quote#(also Warsan Shire 'The House' lines: 'Sometimes the men - they come with keys‚ and sometimes‚ the men - they come with hammers.')#but then I was thinking 'what if I looked for swords' on account of I am very swordtember excited and then lo and behold the lyrics!#'if I should fall / you take my sword / all that is mine / will be yours#do not fear for those we leave behind / the blood that runs in your veins it is mine'#also special mention to the quote immediately above it which I had almost forgot and which would be such a tragedy to lose#'when one is without debilitating venom‚ one must be as a horse do' (mule kick) from a tumblr post by teaboot

does anyone have recommendations for fictional media that has like. actual lesbians in it. not like supergirl Two White Skinny Girls, One Blonde and One Brunette Kiss media, or "its implied lesbianism!!!" but just regular fucking lesbians
#i say lesbians but i guess i mean sapphic#im just like. tired of gnawing#and of men also. sorry men in my life i love you but on god if i have to pretend one more man is butch just to get#content that isnt m/m or m/f im going to turn into a horse and run into the wilderness until im saved from the glue factory by a plucky#young woman except instead of letting her have her formative summer where she trains me and bonds w me and wins a competition w me#im going to commit horse suicide in front of her & change her life forever. just because im so tired of bland CW-marketable women kissing &#digging for scraps in a refuse bin while brushing aside 7002993829292929939292929399394 gay and het romances#m text#i will also take nonfictional lesbians if its like a story#not to be whiny on main but one of the hardest hurdles i had to jump wasnt realizing i was a lesbian. i came out to myself and to friends a#lesbian multiple times. but i would always walk it back when a friend would express doubt or a male friend would ask me out#bc i dont and especially then didnt know very many lesbians in person. and so i had to turn to examples#and all i fucking had were fictional women who liked men. or fictional lesbians who were so cleaned and sanitized and prettified#(you all know what i mean right. the 2 skinny white girls one blonde one brunette. im not crazy right)#and i would be like. i dont feel things when i look at these fictional lesbians so i guess i belong back here#(this is also bc my gender ended up being fuckier than i realized but shhhhh)#I WAS GOING SOMEWHERE WITH THESE TAGS but theyre too long and im lost.#anyway the point is if people werent so fucking weird abt fictional or onscreen lesbians maybe thered be a lot more people comfortable bein#out as lesbian#like sorry but this awful ouroboros of 'all lesbians onscreen have to be cute and sanitized' meaning that people write and believe wlw has#to be cute and pure and sanitized (OR a 'badge of honor' bc good for u u doodled two women together or had it as a background in ur fic)#meaning that therefore all portrayals of lesbianism continue to be like this. is just#and im also gonna be honest theres probably a lot of good sapphic media im just in the wrong circles to have stumbled into lol. so#yknow. personal viewer bias here#but i still like swing wildly between overly brandishing my dykeness as a badge to feel like im proving im lesbian#and like. backing up under a blanket bc i dont wanna be weird or annoying or freak people out#but if people just Saw Normal Ass Lesbians. aough.#im going to watch revolutionary girl utena one of these days even if i struggled w the writing style the first few episodes#I JUST WANNA SEE AN OLD BUTCH ONSCREEN GET SOME PUSSY.#like it also doesnt help im mostly femme4butch so seeing 2 femmes on screen is like. okay cool so what. but only femmes are 'marketable'

I started reading Lord of the Rings (bought Fellowship of the Ring like… last spring but never got around to starting) and I’d just like to say. Holy fuck what a slow book. You mean to tell me I’m over a hundred pages in and this man is only just leaving the Shire? Sign me up for MORE I love this shit. Tolkien said “I will take exactly as much time as I want to describe things and you will like it”. AND I DO
#i can already tell this is the sort of thing that’s going to be so good I’ll never recover from it#I’ve watched the movies like casually-in-the-background a couple times so I know the approximate plot#(they often run on TV somewhere around Christmas and New Year’s in Sweden so they’ve been on more than twice)#but there’s so much detail here that’s just… missed out on… in the films#Or I forgot about it lmfao#Either way loving the book detail#And also reading a book for the first time in months i told my mom id been reading today and she was like YOURE READING?!#It’s part of my social media healing process. Forcing me to like… sit down and take shit in#Used to DEVOUR books when I was younger#Just Kinda Stopped at some point (much like every other former gifted kid)#But it’s a well missed moment of escapism and calm and centering myself. meditative almost#I find lotr to be good also because it’s like… a little heavy. You can read a chapter and then sit with it for a little while#Im not quite reaching the heavy cliffhangers yet either#Each chapter feels pretty concluded#It’s a healthier reading method I feel than the ‘devour in one night then don’t read for 6 months’ thing I did in high school#the few times i DID sit down to read a book#God damn those are some long tags#z talks#not horse game#I feel so late to the party because I always see all these people enjoying lotr ;-; its so established and here am i….#but alas

Uh so there's a baby crying in the background. Btw.
#that horse is so creepy#the mascots name is polly right? i think i vaguely remember that theres some kinda symbolism tied to polly and anyas baby#but! i dont remember what it is at all#the horse is like everywhere he goes though and he cant get away from it. im assuming this is jimmy#and the 2nd time he very literally runs into it its super malformed and everything#i also think its interesting that the baby is always crying#ALSO THE FIRST ID WE FIND IS ANYAS AND I THINK THATS SICK AND FUCKING TWISTED#anyways maybe the horse is jimmy refusing to take responsibility for what he did to anya and the baby#bc i know theres a serious Take Responsibility thing. but maybe not anya specifically#bc im pretty sure he doesnt actually see what he did to her as horrific#i dont know anything about mouthwashing from this point on#NOT JUST “THE HORSE”. I MEAN THE SYMBOLISM OF THE HORSE. i fucked up a tag up there#if i got anything wrong thats fine bc ill know soon anyways

when i say that forsblad ring picture has law firm vibes this is what i mean
#topical!#and what im about to say is something im not sure will make sense to people outside#but anyways i think the forsblad law firm ads would be at the same levels of this accident clinic ad campaign run down here over the years#so its this white guy whos trying to market to latinos so his ads are in spanish and because hes a gringo at first his ads were kinda#annoying but over the years its just transformed from him just talking to the camera to whole 30 second productions like#riding a horse in full cowboy getup in a movie star saves the girl kind of way and winking at the camera#or playing basketball in the most highschool musical esque set dressing or parachuting out of a fucking plane#over the years its gotten to the point where i go oooo whats mr [insert lastname] got for me here#i actually look forward to the 15 to 30 second absurdity of a productuon like i would die for that old man genuinely#hes a part of my childhood his accent is comforting instead of grating he is dear to me#anyways i just think forsblad attorney ads are just forsy using ekkys movie star face to promote their law firm#and having an excuse to dress ekky up all pretty because god forbid this model of a man actually take advantage of it#and not bring ace attourney into this but-#(gets dragged offstage by multiple secret service agents while they cover my mouth)

god, grief hits you at the weirdest fucking times
#was brushing my teeth and started crying thinking about my aunt#sometimes i forget she’s gone because it just seems too wrong#she was young she was healthy (before the cancer) she was more full of life and energy and compassion than almost anybody i know#and it just feels impossible that a presence like that can just. disappear.#they say one of the first things to go is their voice#as you start losing memories of them#but i don’t think i can ever forget hers#i hear her in the way my mom speaks sometimes too#and the way i talk to dogs sometimes#my mom says she sees her in my hands#she had such a big heart and yet she did work that could so easily break someone#but she stayed kind#she fought for the kids she helped#she fought so fucking hard and she cared so much and she never stopped caring no matter how much it hurt#and she loved and stayed joyful despite seeing some of the worst sides of humanity#sometimes i just need to talk about her#because i know she’ll be remembered by everyone who knew her#she’s not the kind of person you forget#but it still feels like that isn’t enough#like she should have had so much more time to bless so many more lives#my mom started a community fund on the island in her name#she hasn’t decided fully yet where the money will go#Tan cared about so many things but especially the foster kids the queer youth and all animals#especially wolves and horses which sounds cliche but it made so much sense for her#one of the things she was fighting for most in her last few years was making sure indigenous kids in the foster system#had ways to connect with their cultures#either by making sure they stayed with family who could take them in and making sure the family had the supports they needed#or connecting them with community programs run by indigenous leaders for indigenous youth#i’m a lot calmer now after all that typing#personal

Once or twice a year I am hit by a massive wave of homesickness for America that makes me literally nauseous and almost feverish. Anyway I am metaphorically turning my heart inside out as I think about junky old Lincoln, Nebraska and a mice-infested farmhouse and living off of food stamps.
#mousehours#sort of#i was five years old and we had a pet rabbit named Floppy#we thought it was a girl rabbit but it was actually a male 🤷🏻♀️#also we had a garden but nothing really grew except our onions#and we had a scare-rabbit instead of a scarecrow because the rabbits were eating all of our vegetables#and I had a secret hideout behind a tree and some bushes where I kept my bob the builder toys#and once my brother and I locked ourselves in the attic and had to be rescued by our dad taking the door off the hinges#there were cracks in the bedroom windows that the wind whistled through#my sister and I got to paint our room half pink and half purple#my brother was seven and just starting first grade and he cut himself with scissors#and fell down the stairs to the basement one day#our neighbours were farmers and they let us put up a rope swing in their hay barn#I was so tiny the grass reached my chin and whenever we went running through the hay fields I was assaulted by grasshoppers#*ping* on my forehead#the church smelled like potatoes all the time and the Sunday school teacher was named Miss Becky and I loved her#she gave me a toy horse for my sixth birthday#…#personal

let's talk about how I made an "equines" deck (unicorns, pegasi, horses, ect) kind of as a meme deck but it actually goes fucking crazy
Lathiel is the commander and there's nothing quite like playing a lame 2/2 lifelink pegasus, and then a few turns later it's an 8/8 flier and if it attacks I can make it a 16/16
#in our first game i played felidar sovereign and became A Problem#but was stopped from winning bc someone went infinite#in the second game i got Crested Sunmare to stick around#and just started pumping out huge indestructible horses to run over the game#like I could take out the bad unicorns and just make it a lifegain/counters deck with way better creatures#but making a bad unicorn into a huge lifelink threat is part of the fun to me#mtg#ramblings

People calling men that are barely below average height "short kings" are WEAK and will not survive the winter much less any season... instead start calling men under 5 foot short kings or die by my blade!!!!!
#it DOES bug me when people see a man whos like 5'4 and are like awww tiny baby short king uwu#first of all its infantalizing and makes you look like a fool. second of all. thats nothing#you havent seen anything#!!!#lighthearted post#but honestly like. im semi feminine presenting and afab. and people are such asshats to me about my height#its either them acting like im an innocent uwu bean and then being shocked when i mention sex or curse or live like a normal adult#or its just constant super weird remarks about my body. OOO YOUR HANDS ARE SO TINY!! yeah might be because my Whole Body is Like That#the WORST is people PICKING ME UP? which will result in a kick. you dont get to lift people you barely know into the air#honestly all the shit ive gotten about my height has made me really snarky about the whole subject#if you make a rude comment about it i will make one back!#but like idk being short makes me pretty athletic so. i can at times traverse difficult terrain when others cant >:)#if i could afford it i could take up jockeying and be the fucking best at it because horse can run real fast because im tiny#apparently climbing is surprisingly a lot easier for short people as well

How do you take a photo of time?
I've been watching the track events at the Olympics since I was a wee lad. It was a tradition in our family. We'd gather around our ancient low-definition 19 inch CRT television and watch tiny blobs compete against other tiny blobs and root for our country.
It was a bit like watching YouTube on your phone in 144p.
Several heroes emerged.
Jackie Joyner-Kersee was amazing.
You can't forget about Flo-Jo.
And then the Olympics decided NBA players were allowed in the competition.
Which formed... The Dream Team.
Was this fair?
Well... they won each game by an average of 44 points.
So... no. It was not fair.
Though it became more fair as time went on.
But, umm... yeah. The other teams looked like the Washington Generals and the US looked like the Harlem Globetrotters if they stopped screwing around half of the game.
But my absolute favorite Olympian was a runner named Michael Johnson.
He was cool as heck.
For one thing... gold shoes.
But he also had this crazy, upright, Tom Cruise-ish sprinting style that just made him look like a running robot on the track.
And in the 1996 Atlanta games he just trounced EVERYONE. I mean, it wasn't even close.
Yikes. Those losing blobs are probably really embarrassed.
Last night I decided to invigorate my nostalgia and watch the track events again. And I got to see one of the wildest races in history.
It didn't even last 10 seconds but it was one of the most exciting sporting events I've ever witnessed. Almost every runner won the race.
After I saw that initially, I was like... who the heck won???
Even in slow motion I wasn't sure.
This was one of the closest finishes in history. There has never been a race where all 8 runners were within this margin.
The arena was silent as the winner was being confirmed. The runners just kind of paced around waiting for official word. My best guess was the Jamaican runner, Kishane Thompson. But then the loudspeaker announced Noah Lyles.
The last tiny morsel of American pride burst out of me with a big "Wooooo!"
I forgot what it was like to be proud of my country. I wish it happened more often. But this young man, despite being last place in the first 3rd of the race, turned on the afterburners and won in a photo finish.
And that's when my inner nerd took over.
Because when they showed the photo finish image, it looked super weird.
Why is the track white?
Why do all of the runners look all warpy like that QWOP game?
So I went down a research rabbit hole to figure this out.
Photo finishes are actually fascinating. The first photo finish captured the end of a horse race in 1890. But that was mostly luck and timing. The actual photo finish mechanisms weren't used until 1937.
Originally they would film the finish line through a physical slit.
And the first horsie head that appeared in that slit would be the winner. This technology ended a huge aspect of corruption in horse race fixing almost overnight.
But we have come a long way since then. And I'd like to introduce you to the Omega Scan 'O' Vision Ultimate.
This slow motion camera sits fixed on the finish line of every race. The concept of the photo finish has remained remarkably similar to the 1930s approach. The camera sensor is specially designed to only record a vertical slit.
Only the finish line itself is actually captured.
And because it limits what it records to only that slit, it can capture 40,000 frames per second to get amazing temporal resolution.
So why don't the photo finishes just look like, well... this?
That is because the camera takes a picture of time more-so than dimensional space. I guess it would be more accurate to say it *assembles* a picture of time.
As the runners cross the finish line, the camera combines all of the little strips of pictures into a single image.
It's almost like if you tried to reassemble a piece of paper after it had been shredded.
Imagine each strip of paper is a picture of ONLY the finish line, just at a slightly different point in time.
What if someone stopped on the finish line and didn't move... what would that look like?
Once they got there, the same part of their body would just be repeated.
So the right side of the photo finish picture represents earlier in time and it just assembles the image strip by strip as time passes and you literally get a picture of time itself.
NEAT!
Okay, but how do they determine the winner from the photo finish?
I mean, that shoe looks like it is ahead of Noah Lyles!
Clavicles!
The IAFF rules state the foremost part of the torso must cross the finish line first. And the endpoint of the torso is the outer end of the clavicle.
So if you get this bone across the finish line first, you win the race.
Two more fun facts!
The start of the race is actually just as carefully timed as the end of the race. There are sensors in the starting blocks of each runner.
The starting gun also has an electronic sensor.
They have determined the fastest a human can react to the sound of a gun is roughly 100 milliseconds. So if you start running before 100 milliseconds they know you didn't actually hear the gun, you just got antsy and started running too early.
And the final fun fact...
Did you notice the Omega logo at the top of the photo finish?
That isn't superimposed or added after the fact. That is captured by the camera.
But if this image is composed only of tiny little slivers, how did they get the Omega logo to show up?
That is a little display. And it is synchronized with the Scan 'O' Vision Ultimate to show a little sliver of the Omega logo for each frame captured.
So when the final image is stitched together, it looks like a cohesive logo at the top of the photo.
Pretty clever, Omega!

Translation here
Turning round and round, The revolving scarlet windmill 《Moulin Rouge》 Makes beautiful flowers bloom. Swinging up and falling down, The dancing bloodstained windmill 《Moulin Rouge》 Makes beautiful flowers scatter... At the utter mercy of destiny, The boy who laments his helpless role Will eventually desire 『power』... Is what he seeks... A 『shield』 that defends against the powerful? Or is it... a 『sword』 that attacks to quell the mighty? I don't really understand what happened... The howling melody of lunacy 《lune harmonie》... Nor the scorching Taste of dead flesh 《Saveur》 of meat... I don't really understand what attacked... But I figured... just one thing... That it's not safe here... I'll take my most important treasure 《thing》 And make a run for it → And so, I grabbed your hand... Ah... Without understanding why, The two of us made our escape, Running until out of breath As they chased after us, a deluge of raging desire... As if following a trail of stardust… Leading into a forest Submerged in darkness... The two of us were shaking, Gasping for breath, not understanding why. Fearing the flood of despair, We held onto each other tightly— Suddenly your body and limbs are flung into the air → Your eyes, frozen in terror ← Searing into my back as I ran away... Passing through a season 《time》 of lunacy... The boy's 《time》 is thrust into a state of flux. Turning round and round, The revolving scarlet windmill 《Moulin Rouge》 Releases a scorching instant 《time》. Swinging up and falling down, The dancing bloodstained windmill 《Moulin Rouge》 Captures a frozen moment 《time》. Ah... if we are to be born again… Let us make a small flower bloom. Forgive me... next time, I won't run away... I'll scatter with dignity by your side... 《Moulin Rouge...!》
"Could there be a Roman here...?"
#erin talks#video#erin's music rec tag#this came up on shuffle the other day and my mom gave me a confused look when the horse neighs#I was like I've listened to this since 2010 you know this#uhh first up: I Still have the biggest crush on Kaori Yuuki and Remi#Remi's operatic soprano range is still so impressive to me she just fucking belts out those notes like it's Nothing#I still feel like speechless awe at her high note at the end of endia and the knights#I don't think I've found many things that feel as romantic as 'I knew I was in danger and needed to take what was most important to me#so I grabbed your hand and ran'#and begging for forgiveness for running away & saying when you're reincarnated that you'll die side by side instead#revo putting hints for moira and idoido in this album: it's a helpful tool for later :)#in middle school I made my friend watch the elysion concert (which was um probably too upsetting to show someone else at that age 😭)#& in return I agreed to let her show me the movie moulin rouge and I Tried to be on my best behavior and not make jokes constantly#but I kept wanting to be like 'okay so like when's the orphanage gonna get set on fire???'#sanhora

And it may also translate to "it's possible to live without a car here in some or even most neighborhoods. Others will mysteriously be transit deserts and poor & desperate people will spend over 2 hours one way commuting to/from work via bus. Even in heavily connected neighborhoods you'll definitely wish it was way better instead of severely underfunded."
At least, that's my take as someone who lives in a 3 person/1 car household in Philly. The neighborhood we're in is fantastic in terms of transit, walkability, and bike ability. But we picked it on purpose for those things, because we had the means to and didn't want to drive as much. There are stilll neighborhoods that to get to from where we are take an hour and a half or more via public transit, with multiple transfers, and infrequent routes if the weekend/holiday schedule is in use. Car though will take maybe 30 minutes in heavy traffic. And SEPTA pays its drivers like shit so even in the most well-connected neighborhoods stuff is frequently cancelled bc there just aren't enough drivers.
If a city in North America has “good public transit” what that translates to is “it’s possible to live without a car here but you’ll still wish it was way better”
#anyway yes i am back on my high horse about septa#bc i want to not drive ever unless i'm going outside the city#and i'm tired of septa being like 'oh it should only take you a little under an hour to get to synagogue!'#well except on weekends ya know when shabbat is#oh and those are the first routes we cancel if we're low on drivers#and it only runs every 30 mins on weekends but is usually late#so hope you didn't have time dependent plans!#ya know...like shabbat services#anyway septa pay your people better challenge 2024/2025
