#a very infuriating problem

[an-asuryampasya]

plastics are so sodding stupid

okay infuriating is a more accurate term here I suppose.

One of the biggest problems with plastic pollution is that plastics are very slow to degrade, and end up sticking around where they're not wanted for ages. Which is BadTM. But you'd think that hey, at least this is good for purposes where they're meant to last long, right? Like in museums!

Except no! Plastics are contrarian little fucks and go cause the exact opposite problem in museums. Because plastic objects have the potential to "to experience rapid and often spectacular disintegration with very little advance warning". And while degrading, they also often release substances that negatively affect other objects stored around them to boot.

And since there's SO MANY different kinds of plastics, from what I understand conservation of plastic objects in museums is kinda like playing whackmole as we struggle to keep up with different types of plastics and the varied ways in which they degrade. Each causing different problems and needing different solutions, of course, and why not shove multiple kinds of plastics within the same object for extra flavour? That way even treating one part of the object puts the rest of it at risk! Oh, joy.

Anyway plastics are stupid and they make it their goal to be a pain in the neck in every context they possibly can.

i'm going to scream i got accused of being a transmisogynist by someone on twitter because of this specific part of my t4t steddie art

[mydream-synopsis]

cuddling with togame and it all seems innocent till you feel jo's hands creep a little higher up your shirt. it doesn't bother you much that he has his hands casually roaming around your bare back - it's business as usual for this man. but he's discreet, reaching up to your bra while your face is buried in his chest. with one skilful flick of his fingers, you suddenly sit up when you realise togame jo just unclasped your bra with one hand.

day 289

you know that episode of steven universe where ruby and sapphire are fighting because sapphire distances herself emotionally from her immediate surroundings in favor of looking at the big picture and ruby is focused on her emotional reaction to the immediate problems that surround them?

yeah dude

re last reblog i feel like so much of tumblrs or rather fandoms obsession with like unhealthy dynamics in romantic relationships and especially the obsession with defining love as something that can be consuming and dangerous and toxic, something that can harm you because its too intense and too passionate or whatever else, and finding that to be poetic or meaningful in a unique way stems from like. two things. 1. not recognizing that the abuse theyve endured in the name of love (could be from anyone, including parents, friends, even teachers, etc.) was actually abuse (and perpetuating the idea that it isnt by openly romanticizing it) or 2. never having been in the situations theyre describing themselves, so it has a certain charm or allure or mystery to it and they're treating it as something to ponder from a safe distance, rather than the incredibly banal sort of everyday evil that it actually is. anyway my point with all this is that i dont have time for this shit 👍

In yet another installment of 'why always with the baby talk?', I am forced to confront the British insistence on referring to closure snaps as 'poppers.'

Every day I long for post-royal spin-offs for the opportunity to allow both Goro and Sumire to actually interact with the others without falsities or time-restricted threats preventing them from having much needed conversations and conflicts. I still wish we had at least gotten a second cafe scene with the Royal Trio where they could talk about how they actually feel about things like change and helping others. To see Goro try and brush it all off and maybe have Sumire call him out on it because his actions wouldn’t match his words, or even Sumire having to reevaluate her own answer since she was no longer under the influence of trying to be Kasumi and what it means if she still agrees with how she felt back then. Also I still love the potential humor with them ordering iced drinks in the winter this time while Akira has his hot beverage and him being able to call them both out for this. Love these funky little weirdos.

If you ask me a question and I really struggle to answer it, it's not because I don't know, it's actually because I need to write a 20 page essay on it to convey the intensity of my passion and knowledge about it to you

it annoys me so much when audiobook narrators consistently make unnecessarily long pauses in the middle of a sentence

it's not just annoying, it's also confusing as hell

'and I'm hopeful. the van sighting will lead to something.'

I'm sure that's meant to be one sentence. two wouldn't make sense in this context. but the way she says it just sounds like there's a period!!

this happens. all the time and. it's really not nice. to listen to. <<< that's what it sounds like to me 😭

its so fucking stupid that just wanting to live a life where i am not afraid constantly and not being on constant alert is too big of an ask to get help with. idk why this is so impossible. i just want to live outside of this house with enough money for food and housing and a little left over for art supplies every month and thats too much to ask for. i wouldnt even ask for friends in town, i can deal with being alone and isolated, i just dont want to be in this house anymore

nothing gave me such gender euphoria as the time Ma said ‘you wear all black and no one can see anything but ur eyes ur like a walking shadow’

[llycaons]

not to be a downer and say things like 'jc is doomed to be miserable forever' but imo his most significant trait IS his lack of personal growth. his complete inability to let anything go and his fixation on blaming people for what happened and his insecurity and fear of looking foolish or taking risks or being vulnerable and all strong emotions expressed as anger is really not doing anything for him or for his relationships and at least in the novel it's stated explicitly that he's never going to be able to change so...yeah I think he is doomed to be miserable forever :/

when you have an eating disorder suddenly you realize how often and how casually people around you talk about "when i was skinny" "i wish i was skinny" "i'm trying to lose weight" "this is how much weight i've lost" and it goes on and on and on and everyone thinks this is acceptable conversation in general and not the kind of fodder that leads to the development of eating disorders in the first place

New hot take I will adopt expressly to be a pundit and start fights: riddles are ableist
