Finally got my first tattoo yesterday!! I've been wanting it for years and finally found the perfect artist and I'm SO SO HAPPY

The quote is from @woodenovercoats which is so so important to me, and each word was written by a different person, all some of my nearest and dearest people 💖

For a second I thought I was reading an addition I didn't remember writing, so here's ours!

Story time!

My father, who is a FRATERNAL twin, has older sisters who are identical twins and one other older sister. So in the late '60s, when my Grandfather is waiting to find out on the newest baby, the doctor comes out and says

"Good news! It's triplets!"

And my Grandfather says, "WHAT?"

And the doctor laughs and says, "Actually it's only twins again, congratulations!"

And my Grandfather in the retelling says, "And I tell ya, I was so relieved that it wasn't triplets!"

I love that doctors/fathers everywhere find this so funny, these people are taking their shots 😂

Surprise triplets 😂

very sad to me that people seem to have a knee-jerk cringe reaction to the idea of asmr videos because it's some of the most inherently, unambiguously kind content on youtube. literally just an entire genre dedicated to helping people fall asleep or relax, with a huge variety of types to choose from. it's just nice innit

one thing i will say from everything that's happening with the fia and the new regulations, don't ever put lewis in the talk of somebody who needs to step up to those motherfuckers !!!!!

that man has been going out of his own way to bring awareness to social issues happening in the sport and outside of it but they refused to be educated and labeled it as "political"

so if it ever crosses your mind that another driver should say something to the fia, let it not be lewis !!! baby just wait for your driver to be a man and have a backbone

i'm letting it be known that lewis hamilton, the only black man in this sport, is not obligated to speak up for people who failed him time and time again

Okay I'm calling the left brunette and the right blonde but to me the crucial difference is where the hair started! If you've always had brown hair, it's brunette. If it was lighter/blonder when you were younger, then it's a dark blonde now.

Assume you have not forgotten all descriptive words in your moment of need, and that you can speak this language. Regrettably, circumstances do not permit you to spend more than a paragraph scrupulously describing the effect of highlights, and the audience is not necessarily interested in the tiny specific variations of hair color in white people. WHAT COLOR. PICK ONE. GO.

okay so I couldn't write a post yesterday when I listened to it but PLEASE let it be known that re: Carmilla episode 3 "We Compare Notes" has me feeling INSANE

FATHER. DAD. POPS. WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS WOMAN TOLD YOU ALL HER BUSINESS WAS TOP SECRET AND SHE WOULDN'T EXPLAIN ANYTHING AND NEITHER WOULD HER DAUGHTER AND THEN SHE JUST LEFT. THAT'S WILD.

Laura just wants to talk to Carmilla SO BADLY. Also it's so endearing to me how she keeps going "you who live in a city would never understand..." Like I did not grow up in a lonely Schloss in the German forest but I am from a small town and I feel that.

OKAY THE HORROR. THE TERROR. CARMILLA WAS THE FACE FROM HER HORRIBLE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCE. Like of course she was going to be but that doesn't make it less unsettling!!! And it was so creepy to listen to how Carmilla makes herself trustworthy and sympathetic. I wonder if her dream from her "childhood" is at all real... I am more compelled to think that she made it all up, that she knows Laura bc SHE WAS THERE IN HER ROOM twelve years ago. (Sidenote: it was very funny to me that Carmilla says "in my childhood... I was definitely a child you see" like twice. okay girl, try harder to convince us you had a perfectly normal childhood.) UGH. FEELING WILD ABOUT IT. Also, Méabh de Brún as Carmilla is perfect?? I could listen to her talk forever, and she was SO CONVINCING. Much like Laura, I am bewitched by this beautiful woman.

SPEAKING OF WHICH. I know people have said "lesbian vampire novel" and "precursor to dracula" in talking about Carmilla but I was *completely* unprepared for how many times they called each other 'beautiful' and 'pretty' in this section. Laura why were you noticing her lips, huh. What was that about. This would be such a great meet-cute if I didn't know I was reading a horror novel.

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH SOMEONE PLEASE TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS.

The best part about not knowing a single thing about a media is that whenever I see Blorbo In Law (friend’s blorbo), that’s all I can associate them with. Like I may not know you, sir, but you are Beloved Friend’s blorbo so I am happy to see you :)
