#Yolkcheeks talks

Just chilling & watching silly little videos when Her Ladyship shows up, evicts her sister from the couch, lays down where she was and tap tap taps me with her paw. I try to pet her and she tries to bite me. I let her have her spot on the couch, she whines that I am even daring to touch her.

Ma’am /you/ put /yourself/ here.

[ylkcheeeks]

it just kinda sucks but not as badly as either bothering the person i'm watching with "what was that?" every two to ten minutes when my audio processing just fuckin'... goes on break [with the even more maddening "oh wait nevermind" just as they begin to speak when it catches up in the lag], or watching the same forty-five seconds three times in a row because my internal captions are just [inaudible] the whole time even though the characters are expositioning.

like i get annoyed in the moment & also meta-annoyed for the folks who rely on them while for me they're the hearing equivalent of reading glasses, and that is not great for my focus so then i miss more of what's going on... this is how i wind up having months where i walked away from whatever live action drama i'm "currently watching" in favor of cartoons and long-winded youtubers

Why do people need subtitles to watch a show in English? I don't get it. What is wrong with the ears of young people?

possible new rotation subject: Tyrian World Religions 201

I was reading the wiki for funsies (as one does) and noticed in the article on Lyssa a throwaway note that the norn consider her a “spirit of action” with a footnote to an archive of Guild Mag. Indeed, on page 14 a developer went into how the different races filter conceptions of their fellows’ gods/spirits/philosophy thru their own experiences, such as the asura seeing human gods as larger equations in the Eternal Alchemy and the norn see the human gods as spirits of action, with Balthazar being War and Kormir being Knowledge. They would be called such by norn—obviously this is lore that didn’t make it into the game because norn NPCs and PC dialogue options alike refer to Balthazar not (Spirit of) War.

Which already- war can be a domain or an action but knowledge is a domain. One would think the action would be learning or study or observation or something… tho I appreciate the alliteration. But it of course doesn’t go further into it so we don’t know how the other gods’ domains translate for the norn. They aren’t all as straightforward, often having dominion over multiple areas both due to the shifting over time as gods fell or ascended and the doylist need to have a particular god of whatever class you pick.

Balthazar, dominion over war, fire, and challenge. Spirit of War, and boy does he live up to it. *

Kormir, dominion over order, spirit and truth. Spirit of Knowledge. Interesting choice since humans tend to focus more on her aspect as Goddess of Truth. *

Dwayna, dominion over healing, air, and life. First of the gods to arrive on Tyria from the mists when they put humans there. Church of Dwayna worships as Goddess of Life. I perceive her as the head of the pantheon, with additional influence over medicine (human story) and motherhood (see below). Possibly Spirit of Healing? Or of Assistance, given the nature of prayers/flavor dialogue associated with her.

Grenth, dominion over death, ice, darkness (and being baby boy. In-universe mari llywd probably.) Associated with casting off of illusions, defeat of false gods, etc. Worshipped as God of Death. Obvious answer would be Spirit of Death but due to Dhuum and also I prefer more action, how about Spirit of Fallow or Spirit of Inevitability (per statue description)

Melandru, dominion over nature, earth, and growth. Considered the oldest & wisest, worshiped as Goddess of Nature.

- May have had an aspect named Mellaggan (bounty, wealth of the ocean) who appeared to the Quaggans but was killed by krait at some point in the distant past.

- obviously all the spirits are part of nature, so I suspect she’s the Spirit of Growth.

Lyssa, dominion over beauty, water, and illusion. Worshipped as Goddess of Beauty but her parables and associations with chaos seem to more emphasize illusions. Possibly Spirit of Inspiration given her favoring art and culture? Interested in the implications of Lys & Ilya + triple-faced sigil.

Abadon, dominion over deep water, knowledge, and magic. Titled God of Secrets. Lore snippet suggests he used to appear in the form of a handsome & calm man with wings as blue as the ocean, appearance changed over time thru torment into squidhead we know and love. Apparently made the Sirens Landing reliquaries, further cementing Secrets as his main thing so I feel safe saying he would be (have been) the Spirit of Secrecy.

Dhuum, dominion over death undeniable, voice in the void, etc. also has a helmet with fuckassbig horns, both more and less humanoid than Grenth. Spirit of Annihilation sounds good to me.

Menzies the Mad, Lord of Destruction. Yeah I know we aren’t sure he’s a god but I feel safe assuming he basically would be one if humans worshipped him. Allegedly is more associated with destructive/deceptive battle than valorous & honorable Balthazar, but given recent events… possibly the Spirit of Bloodthirst or Vengence?

The three queens! Lesser spirits of defense/wrestling/etc? No idea.

Anyhow. That’s some thoughts.

I wonder if part of the reason that Zakuro is how she is (Doylist, not Watsonian) is on account of pomegranate > Grenada > the Catholic Monarchs

Because like, Grenada isn’t just a city that happens to be Pomegranatopolis, it’s decorated with pomegranates in all the municipal structures like pylons and whatever. And it was also where Ysabella and Ferdinand had one of their favorite palaces. And that might also lead to her being the mysterious, cultured one who speaks several languages.

Catching a random episode of Sailor Moon R and it’s the one where ChibiUsa’s dealing with the news about Usagi being *gasp* Sailor Moon and the introito Esmeraude and oh my god she is such a massive bitch I love her.

Also i am imagining NQS talking openly about her friends around Chibs so much she tunes it out. Like I get that part of the deal was NQS was so poised and elegant but I can’t imagine an Usagi who is quiet or cold- not in the OG anime at least, I love Princess Sailor Moon.

And now I made myself sad because the way she interacts with Ikuko… you might not recognize your cool adult mom as s goofy teen but grandma and mom aren’t as far apart as life stages, from a kid’s perspective. So in Crystal Tokyo I, Ikuko was long dead, small lady never got to meet her grandmother.

Also dang even knowing exactly where everything is going, the music cords and pacing still get me! Oh no! She ran off with the brooch! Key don’t work!! Oh no!

Fuckin delightful

i was noticing the other day how there are almost no benches outside of parks now.

the subway line nearest to me has been getting station renovations for a few years now; the most recent ones i have noticed they ripped out the old benches [already somewhat hostile due to rigid arm rests to prevent laying down] and have replaced them with a goddamn bannister- like a slightly rounded slab of wood about the length of a band, mounted at a 45 degree angle for people to lean their butts on without actually sitting.

the bus stop i get off at coming home has a similar shaped piece of bullshit, except metal and mounted above the height of my waist, so even if a lean DID suffice when what I need is to sit [it does not] i can't even do that.

i probably wouldn't need to use my cane as much as i do if i could just fuckin' sit down without having to do a commerce.

walkable cities also means sittable cities send tweet

Okay let’s talk Cafe Mew Mew New, because I think I could get the ingredients for most of this. Throwing up a cut since we are still in the first day after release but this is just about the food, not the plot.

In the foreground we’ve got orange and apple juices- possibly carbonated given the corks, so something like Arancita & Mattinelli’s- and some little cups of something pink garnished with a little berry and a mint leaf. Now, for obvious reasons I wanna say that’s a pomegranate aril, but the charcuterie board seems to have them. Maybe a miracle berry and that’s something usually tangy or sour? I could see Akasaka doing something creative like that. Actually looking closer it’s a lighter pink, a layer of cream, then a thin layer of a darker pink/ purple which seems translucent, so maybe a jelly of some sort. Dragon fruit is close to that color, so maybe a pitaya mouse with a little pastry cream and then the jelly layer is also dragonfruit, with the “berry” being like a boba bubble of the same stuff.

Then there’s the charcuterie board, with prosciutto, pomegranate arils, rosemary, edamame, and some sort of soft smoked cheese, based on the thickness of the cuts and the rind. Probably Spanish or Italian, based on the other flavors on the board.

Deconstructed caprese.

Okay specifically baby mozzarella slices between vine-ripened cherry tomatoes and garnished with julienned basil. I choose to believe there’s more basil in a serving container just out of shot because that so little basil.

Single bite things! Enormous Be Our Guest energy because the pics say sandwiches but the cubes say cake. I’m going with sandwiches; garnished with cucumber & tomato is a white bread cream cheese situation, maybe cucumber sandwiches, maybe more like a flavored spread situation. The pink and white ones are cubes of ham and cheese, which makes sense with the olives and the prosciutto already in frame.

That does make all the food in on the table savory, except the coups, so maybe they’re little cups of borscht? With sour cream on top and uhhh… beet foam and a tiny leaf of sage? If I do this I will just put dill tbh.

So here’s a take which I think is downright tepid yet still am deliberately putting here instead of FB on account of boomer relatives likely making themselves annoying!

If anyone actually believed that it is a few bad apples and cops as a whole are mostly good family men invested in protecting all citizens in the area they serve out of a sense of civic duty- you know, your basic copaganda fairytale- all you have to do is look at what the police themselves do to see it ain’t so.

like, ok, we know by now that Uncle Politics Guy and Karenus Bluelinea ignore any statistics which don’t suit them and will whip out special pleading every time there’s another incident where a cop brutalizes or murders someone unless there’s a oner showing the whole thing, in which case there’s one of the bad apples.

So in their view of the world, most cops are good guys with guns and a few totally different people slip through. They also can see that a huge swath of the population does not trust cops and judges the incidents they say are fine a lot more harshly. We know they know this due to the way such folks will bring up how hard it must be for heroic innocent good guy cops to be subject to such vitriol. So, to recap, cops are mostly good, and there’s a loud and growing public sentiment they are not, damaging their PR and morale.

What would be the logical response for the cops in such a scenario? Probably to take steps towards:

Removing the Bad Cops, not just when they do something egregious and the public outcry is so loud they are forced to act, but as a preventative measure because they are Good Cops who Want to Protect People Actually- it would really hurt morale even more to keep one of the guys ruining it for everyone else around!

Retraining the Kinda Bad Cops; to the degree that there might be some Bad Apples who Totally Still Deserve a Chance, it would also be in the interest of a culture predominantly populated by civic minded people to make sure all their members are upholding the law, not just because it is their job, but because they’re Good Cops who Care.

Of course sharing PR which directly addresses the people who are upset; whether the perceptions are reasonable and realistic or awful mean liberal bullying of the poor innocent cops, the public clearly no longer trusts the police. That’s a big issue for how police are supposed to function, so you would expect to see campaigns that directly address that loss of trust. Probably something that tells the public about the strides above, maybe even cite some sort of external oversight or study that shows their particular department is so full of very good cops who never get violent with the citizens they are sworn to protect.

But, I know this is not a shock to anyone who follows me, that is not what we seen happening with police departments across the US (in the specific only because I can’t speak to other countries’ cops). What do we see?

Cops who have been a repeated and expensive problem for their department get promotions and often their pattern of misconduct only comes to light when they finally are caught murdering or brutalizing someone and gain national attention.

Cops who have done things which would get them fired from any other job, who are not disciplined at all or who are put on desk duty until attention dies down.

Cops who show a clear disregard for human life, from laughing at the “low value” of a young woman brutally killed by an on-duty officer, to writing up reports in which a victim they judge as undesirable (usually sex workers, PoC, unhoused people, and other demographics who are overall subject to discrimination) as having “no human involved”

Cops making fun of, blowing off, and showing extreme resistance to any professional development which challenges bias or otherwise overlaps with DEAI training.

Cops who do try to bring attention to injustice within their department being stymied, intimidated, and (special shout-out to the NYPD) subject to involuntary commitment to shut them up which is subsequently memorialized as a full color enamel challenge coin showing a rat in a straight jacket. Oh and can’t forget the more recent incident where they beat one of their own to death “accidentally” during a “training exercises” like an extra fucked up sparagmos.

Cops who are high ranking within their hierarchy demonstrating the expectations of police culture by not just ignoring but engaging in all of the above.

Of course neither list is exhaustive, just taking a bird’s eye view of what you would expect from an organization which aims to protect and to serve, and what we actually see happening. These actions point to an organization that not only is refusing the judgement of a large fraction of the populace which the fairy tale claims they serve- and that they serve everyone is definitely part of Uncle Politics Guy’s perspective because folks who pity the poor wittle cops love to crow that the libs will be crying for police back if we actually defund/demolish/even slightly discipline the cops. “Who will you call when [racism, usually]?” they ask, implying that in their view, the good guys with guns cops would currently be useful to protect even you, callow cad that you are, from the very scary evil criminals.

These actions point to an organization which not only refuses that judgement, even if they are super sincerely sure it’s not accurate or merited, but rather than demonstrating a commitment to being the good guys with guns, they refuse to engage in anything which would prevent, counter, or clean up after their messes. Remember that reporter who lost her eye while covering a protest? Remember the cop spraying the seated college kids directly in the face with chemical “disincentives”? Rough rides ring a bell?

They get more violent when someone tries to hold them accountable or points out their actions. They insist on special treatment and the law can’t touch them. They use violence on and off the job as a first response to fear, anger, mild annoyance, and will swear up and down they “feared for their life” even when footage comes out showing that no rational person would believe they were in danger, never mind someone who is supposed to be trained in deescalation and non-lethal force.

Cops do not act like an organization of do-gooders with a few fellas who just were too jumpy for the job and made a mistake they feel just awful about. Cops act like an organization which knows it has power and feels entitled to wield it against anyone who opposes them, from protesters to their own men when they try to speak up. Cops behave consistently like they believe they are above the laws which they supposedly enforce despite not knowing them.

You know, when there’s one bad apple in actual apples, it spoils the whole barrel, and farmers don’t fuck around with letting their whole harvest turn. Not the first by far to point that out, but it merits saying. Cops don’t even turn the barrel over to salvage the good ones and the barrel itself is shot through with fungus. You can ignore everything other than what happens to be audio or video recorded and what police themselves say and it still paints the same picture.

Could you clarify what you mean by using jpegs as dolls? I don’t know if I’m familiar with what you’re thinking of.

In general, if you are sharing something someone else made^1, it should be appropriately credited. If the original creator has a Tumblr where they posted the art, easy-peasey, just click that 🔁 reblog button, adding whatever^2 your heart desires, or even not adding anything at all. The post will stay connected to the OP so both the artist and people who want to see more of their work will benefit.

*1 most of this applies to videos, written work, etc, I’m just focusing on images since that’s what I make and folks who are fluent in text search might not have gotten as much prior experience with image search.

*2 remembering that if you don’t adjust your privacy settings otherwise, what you say will be public. You specifically seem to already get tags as an aside, just mentioning this as a basic for anyone else reading along.

If the artist is like “I’m not on tumblr but I don’t care if you repost as long as you credit” there is a field when making a post for you to do just that. It is important to use that field so the credit will stay attached to the post- it is fine to double up and also put something like “my buddy drew this! They’re not on tumblr but you can see more of their stuff (here)”

For dynamic things like picrew (maybe this isn’t what you meant, but guessing it might be?), the artist usually includes their sharing policy right in the maker so you can just see what they say and follow that. They might ask for you to put the maker as the source, or tag their handle, or whatever. Also for things like picrew, you can sometimes find the OP made a post a la “check out my new picrew!” and if you reblog that with your D&D character you made with it they will be probably be super happy to see you using it!

If you find someone else posted a thing without a source and you either know it or find it, throw it on the post! Future appreciators of MordeTwi Shakespearean AU comics or what have you will be grateful. As an artist, if my work is already reposted w/o credit, someone adding credit is cool and nice.

If you’re in the grey area where the art is not already on Tumblr, and you can’t find anything from the artist prohibiting reposting nor anything saying they are cool with it, and you decide you really want to share it anyway, you absolutely gotta include credit. Not including credit puts you into the TOS violation and actively rude zone. I mention this as harm reduction and from my personal perspective as an artist.

And if you’re unfamiliar with using reverse image search, I threw together a few screenshots to show how it would work. This example took me less than ten minutes including pausing to take screenshots etc. I am adding a cut so this post isn’t super duper long to scroll past and also tagging this post “long post” for people who filter that.

Okay so my buddy sends me some Art I think is neat, but they don’t know where it’s from and the image itself doesn’t have a URL or username I can search. (That would make things super easy!)

I open up any reverse image search site- here I am using google lens- and upload the image.

Note: I’ve thrown the “watery” filter over the screenshots with the full art showing to keep the focus on the process and reduce the chances of someone trying to just crop & save it. I promise this example includes the answer to who drew it.

(I pre-typed the image descriptions on these on my phone- hoping it works, let me know if not)

So I have uploaded the image and asked to find a image source. I don’t show it here but I often add a “-Pinterest” to my search string the same way someone might add Reddit to a much hobby query, because Pinterest is fully of uncredited reposts so will not be much help.

Here are my results:

The first result is on DeviantArt the title says it is by someone, so that looks like a good bet! The second result is also on DA but it’s on someone’s profile and is lower res, so it’s not as good of a bet and I check the first result first.

It looks like we found the artist! If my clues ended here and I wanted to say something about this art, I would make sure, even if I used a share option from the site of origin, that I had a link in the source section.

But I noticed in the description on DA that the artist mentioned it being from Twitter so I know they’re on at least two platforms. Before I even try searching their name, I click through to their profile:

Hey! That’s the tumblr logo! Great, let me click that, then search her blog for an appropriate keyword since I can also see the art was originally posted in 2020, not recently.

That’s it!

I might tag it with a few things for my own organization, or I might not- because tumblr remembers the source, I know that my reblog will connect back to the artist’s original post.

(In this case I grabbed an image I was already queuing to reblog from @peach-sea and went through the steps to check if I could find my way back to her blog using the same steps I’d use for an image I knew nothing about.)

reiterating because maybe we weren't clear the first time

reddit refugees, reblog art, don't repost it

if you really like someone's art, reblog it. you can do that by clicking the little looping arrows at the bottom of the post. this will make it so the art appears on your blog and shows up to your followers, but the op is still credited and given notes.

reposting does not give credit. and no, saying "artist is ___" as the caption doesn't count, unless you have permission given directly by the artist.

if you have a funny or pretty image on your phone that you saved from reddit, don't post it here on tumblr, because 99% of the time it came from tumblr. use a reverse image search to try and find the original tumblr post, and reblog that.

taking that extra five minutes to find the original post of an artist you love will absolutely brighten their day and make the entire world a better place.

please, I'm begging you. reblog art. don't repost it.

Free idea: A Barbiecore fan mew/TMM OC who is named Millicent Roberts and is themed after Mille-Feuille or Milhojas. She is one of those kids who has tried a lot of different hobbies and knows a lot of surprising useful-once skills.

Or if you’re into Purin/Tart she could be a (dub) future kid for them as the dessert is also called/similar to a custard slice, and just have the nod be first name Millie. They aren’t a ship I’m into personally, but I do appreciate that it lines up well thematically.

Or if you want to do straight up Barbie as a Mew Mew, she could be uhhhh Mew Bombolon?

[ylkcheeeks]

Oh man I saw pics of some of Margot Robbie’s Barbie appearances and I really love that she has been working with her stylist to match actual Barbie looks and is maintaining a plasticy rigid smile in photos. Like, if I saw post in 2015 fantasizing about a Barbie movie where the lead actor shows up at press events in in high-end cosplay while channeling Life-Size, I would nod “yes that would be cool, shame it probably won’t ever happen”

It’s a commitment to aesthetic which I find artistic and while I recognized the looks she was referencing for some of them I wanna find a post that matches them up with the sources because I definitely do not recognize all of them.

[ylkcheeeks]

No, that isn’t factual and is based on a really pessimistic reading of the rest of humanity. Look, I know things are bad in the world and everyone is a bit jaded after the past few years.

And I understand how, for someone who is already disgusted by something like abortion or gender nonconformity or being trans or gay or whatever else is Them in their Us versus Them culture war- people for whom those are not things which impact people they know, but something alien so they picture the Chick Tract version of why would a person xyz- it makes a sort of sense to figure “well anyone who would otherwise perform abortion care would let a pregnant person bleed out to make a political point” because liberals are already conveniently demonized by the talking heads on TV (or, lets be honest, YT). Like, I know a lot of folks who have a conservative political compass but consider themselves compassionate people can see how barring a two-spirit author from giving a talk or denying care to someone with an ectopic pregnancy which could never be viable will think (have thought) "surely there will be an exception or consideration in those cases! surely that isn't what they meant- they are just trying to protect kids!"

I’m sorry to put this so bluntly but the politicians and commentators alike have lied to you. These were foreseeable consequences to the language of the respective bills as written.

If the plain text of a piece of legislation says “no drag shows where there are kids” but doesn’t define “drag” then people who don’t want to be pulled into the middle of crossfire, who are moderate mild-mannered folk who read the Terms of Service before they click okay, will understand that, as written, it could mean a burlesque show with numbers that could headline in Vegas or it could mean a fashionable author who happens to not conform to cis expectations having a little book signing. It is so broadly written and there are so many people who are eager to get test cases to push the most extreme reading- the folks who really do think that the solution to Us versus Them is to hone society to exclude Them- that folks will self-censor and self-police.

There doesn’t need to be a cop helping you into the stirrups for your GYN to listen to the hospital’s legal department that says, due to the way the law is written, that they can’t do anything until your life is in danger. The legislation wasn’t written by doctors, it was written by politicians who went to law school in the 60s or 70s, and, to be blunt, the people behind these bills don’t actually care about the cruelty inflicted on the cases you have empathy for. It is, at best, acceptable collateral damage. Some of them are on the very conservative end of things where they will either dog whistle or straight out say they are fine with the cruelties hitting people well beyond who they spread fear about to get support and donations on the basis of that bill or the platform it’s part of.

They are already happy enough to hide behind “think of the children!” when they mean “think of my super PAC funds!” or, for the talking heads, “think of my advertising revenue!”, why would the foreseeable consequences for other people bother them? Especially if it’s just liberals, just gender freaks, just loose women, you know… Them. Not Us.

Individuals obeying these deliberately vague and far-sweeping laws aren’t the ones to side-eye if you have an issue with treating fellow travelers like trash to make a political point. Just this week the Supreme Court ruling about the wedding website “vendor” who wanted to be free to refuse service to couples whose marriages she thinks shouldn’t happen? Based on a hypothetical- hasn’t made any wedding websites and nobody asked for one either. It was a case brought specifically to establish precedent, not in response to a specific incident where her freedom of speech and someone else’s freedom from discrimination actually came into conflict. So folks who read a law with broad language and err on the side of caution aren’t all going to be mustache twirling Them (whether you infer they are a degenerate liberal willing to let someone suffer to make a point or a callous conservative willing to let someone suffer to make a point); most of them are just folks who just want to do their job and go home to dinner, so whether they think the law is bad or fine or doesn’t go far enough, they’re obeying it for the same reason people obey stop signs or say “unalive” on tiktok.

Anyhow! Have a 4th!

I know y'all should all know by now, but here is a current example of how drag bans actually ban trans people from existing in public spaces

This was the email that was sent to Adria Jawort, a two spirit author scheduled to speak at a Montana library, on the first day of pride month.

I was just watching this great YouTube video on myths from a worldbuilding perspective (well a few videos ago so I don’t have the link at hand, but I can find it if someone reminds me) and lately I’ve been watching (in addition to my usual worldbuilding, lore, and theorycrafting diet) a lot about mythology uhh historiography? like reconstructed myths and tracing things and all of that, largely focused on but not exclusively PIE related languages/cultures.

And I have been thinking a lot about syncretism, particularly this thread between Ashera/Inana/Isis/Mary and how while the monomyth thing is not right there are these interesting patterns in how people conceptualize themselves. And how the worldview of the first several thousand years of humans was superseded by a particularly dominant group like, redefining time, and how we think of ourselves and how we think of “recent” vs “long ago” but when I zoom out two thousand years and change is not that long like, even at a human scale. And we’ve still done, you know, a lot, but I am so interested in those earlier years of innovation and change and stories, and how the stories we have- of our history and world and so on, not just myths- define how we engage with the world. And how we engage with the world defines our stories.

And I think about how a lot of religious and uh, what’s the word for about the creation of everything? Like the opposite of eschatological thought? Anyhow a lot of the things humans have said or thought as part of understanding our world has been from a perspective of understanding the world as a thing we are part of, and of seeing in a very real way the importance of the sun to human life, and all these natural phenomena.

And I was thinking about geocentrism and flat earthers and people who do want to immensities the eschaton, speaking of (ha) and these people who are losing their shit on the daily to a roulette of conspiracies which are just the satanic panic with a hasty coat of paint, and like, also the baby billionaire Hawaiian shirt guy turned war profiteer getting a cute profile on NPR, and various billionaires who would pass out from excitement if they could be B&L from Wall-E and restore geocentrism by privatizing the galaxy.

I feel like there’s some sort of story seed here, about the conflict between the people who are excited for serfdom 2.0: now in orbit & want to inception the global unconscious, using the anxieties of a certain flavor of conservative ideology to push the needle, and blah blah blah I would like to die of natural causes at an advanced age under civilized healthcare leaving a better planet than I was granted. So not even a seed I guess. But who knows maybe I’ll read this later and think of more.

grumble grumble back pain grumble grunmbles stupid stinky old sleep headphones up and died with no warning

Now how am I supposed to go to sleep at a reasonable hour (lies) listening to my nice calm sleep meditation (my kink is karma by chappell roan on repeat) I deserve a comfy sleep, this time I really was up late doing thesis stuff- pulled a couple dozen texture tests until the desk paper dissolved from excess ink.

I cannot believe I am being forced to lay down and actually be in my own brain. Where’s my little treat??
