#hello new person

[leahnardo-da-veggie]

happy storyteller saturday! have you been dragged down any research rabbitholes for your projects? what are some interesting things you've learned? :3

Oh, this is one of my favourite stories to tell. Once upon a time, a little Leah wanted to know just how weird people's eating habits could get. Once I got past all the pages in eating disorders (which were informational but not particularly entertaining), I came across... Tarrare, he who belongs as the final boss of a food-themed horror game. Seriously. He ate corpses, intestines from gutters, and was even suspected of eating a baby.

Other honorable mentions:

Charles Domerry, serial cat consumer and cannibal

Michel Lotito, showman who ate a plane

Edward Dando, who ate 25 dozen oysters and then refused to pay the bill. He's my second favourite <3

Thanks for the ask, and I'll remember to drop you some this Saturday!

idk how many of you remember this but a few years ago tumblr ran a universally panned ad campaign for (us american) pride month that went "the gayest place on the internet".

well someone planning that campaign dropped in to ask the queer automatticians for advice on that and universally me and the other trans people involved were like "don't do it. i am so serious. don't do it. people on tumblr won't understand that it wasn't automattic who instituted the porn ban, or they will, but they'll recognize that automattic hasn't done anything, hands tied or not, to reverse it. nobody will like this. it will be a disaster." and they thanked us for our thoughts and went ahead with it anyway and then had to do retrospectives about how badly it went and were like "we just didn't know" and [gestures] yeah [edit: i think the person who rbed saying it was queerest place on the internet was right, my brain is fried, sorry! and that's... even worse lmao]

The discussion around the fandomization of the I/P conflict is so fucking relevant because why did I just see someone in a discord for a reaction channel that reacts to musicals and cartoons suggest them to react to the Columbia ""protests"" with a heart emoji as if it's another episode of their favorite show and SIX other people agreed with that

…OK WAIT WHAT

sobbing because it's entirely possible that someone who works on cancer research and treatment (maybe even specifically for hodgkins lymphoma) learned or reviewed biology through hank green's crash course episodes. like they are using the knowledge he presented to them to help him. maybe not directly but somewhere along the line there's reciprocity.

I sincerely want to come back. I think my burnout is finally cured, after a couple years away. I was making some christmas presents for some friends recently and realized, as I was in my studio, that as much as I adore the complexity of the digital art I make, I once more had a yearning to just make things with my hands. So, I'm making plans to come back, but when/if I do, it's going to be with a total refresh of my inventory, my website, and my process. I'm no longer going to put pressure on myself to make things quickly, or stick to a rigid aesthetic. When it is no longer my sole source of income, it gives me the freedom to be much more playful with what I make, and gives me room for failure. That's the ideal, but I'm trying to figure out time in my schedule to do so. My hope is that I can fit some schedule handmaking time into my schedule now that I am starting up a new queue with my other freelance work, but time will tell if I'm able to do it.

March looks a lot like

Golden sunlight through white curtains, melted chocolate easter eggs, cherry flavored lip balm, exhilaration, the scent of wet earth, giggles, stargazing, flowy dresses, trips to the beach, ukeleles, bright green grass, bouquets of pink tulips, freshly baked banana bread, picnics with close friends, gold jewellery, new notebooks, reading poetry in the afternoon, candlelight dinners, tabby cats, the fresh feeling of productivity, morning jogs, strawberry smoothies and avocado toast, rosewater, the press of lips against your forehead, love and peace.
