went w/ bf to check out a cheap used car and he got upsold despite having been preapproved for a loan through his credit union

#i'm tryina use this as a watch and learn situation #i can offer no negotiation or advice and also don't want to be that kind of person who solves all their partner's problems #but anyway he got a car right at the top of his budget #and ended up financing through the dealership again despite being preapproved for a loan through his cu #9.99% apr which sounded not good but not really bad #but i just looked it up and it's p bad #esp since we could have negotiated #we were working with a very green salesman #idk it's so fucking exhausting to be sold things #i am watching and learning #it's not the end of the world

i have been trying to figure out why the whole 'fae god' and katniss everdeen things with kendrick lamar on here were bothering me, and i think i finally put it into words.

most posts like that are probably coming from well-meaning white people (i am also partially a White People, to be clear), who otherwise dont really listen to rap. they cannot find a way to 'relate' to this black man who sings largely about issues that affect the black community– and rather than try and meet him where he is, they have to fit him into these little tumblr cultural boxes before he can be 'palatable' to them.

they have to shave off the rougher/more abrasive aspects of his work and activism because it makes them uncomfortable, that way they can pigeonhole him into something that allows them to enjoy his work without the critical analysis that MUST come with it

he is not your fae god, he is not a YA protagonist, he is not a little gremlin or a cinnamon roll or a blorbo. He is a human being with opinions and beliefs that deeply permeate his work, and to ignore that truth is to ignore the entire point. PLEASE try to engage with artists' work outside of the lens of tumblr fandom, and i mean that as nicely as possible. you are doing YOURSELF a disservice

#kendrick lamar #to clarify #i am a white person that isnt super familiar with rap culture as a whole #but thats more because im like that with literally every musician #half the time i can barely even name the lead singers of some of my favorite bands #i also only really learned of kendrick through the context of the disses he released last year #but the way people were reacting had me incredibly intrigued #so i DUG. i watched reaction videos. i watched people dissect the lyrics and explain #i watched FD signifiers breakdown of the whole history of the beef #and because of that ive been following the story as it developed #because i find kendricks cultural influence astonishing #and it makes me sad to see people just. ignore the history and culture of the conflict #while claiming to be invested in whats happening

You know, it would be amazing if Hollywood learned the right lesson from the success of Nimona. Something like "Hey, maybe don't throw out a nearly done movie as a tax write off" or "people want queer stories" or even "don't be afraid to take some storytelling risks and be original" but you just know they're going to come away with some absolutely batshit takeaway like, "next time delete all the evidence and burn it to the ground so the gays can't make us look bad!"

#sorry to be cynical on main but all I can think of is instead of watching this and being like wow we made a huge mistake here #disney is just going to be mad because of how foolish this made them look #bc corporate america always learns exactly the wrong lesson #honestly hope I'm wrong and this humbles them and they do better #but also I am a realist #anyway go nimona kick 'em in chip and dale's nuts #nimona #nd stevenson #netflix #disney #oscar nominations #oscar nominee #hollywood

I truly, TRULY do not know how to say this, because the fact that I have to say it makes me feel like I am losing my grip on reality. But no, in the post-capitalistic anarchist utopia, I will not be relying on “autistic minecraft girlies” to be building inspectors because - and this may shock you - one of those occupations takes years of education in how to read and interpret hundreds of thousands of lines of regulations based on complicated math and physics that were the result of decades of tragedy and death, and the other one involves playing a children’s video game.

#i am begging this website. BEGGING it. to stop acting like building codes are state oppression #and please stop reducing blue collar jobs to 'so easy any handyman could do it with a youtube video'#that's how people fucking die #i didn't spend five years learning how to do my job safely to watch people online tell me it could've just been a course in high school #i know that this is like. a minority minority opinion and not really worth getting worked up over #but it's so annoying to see supposed leftists denigrating blue collar jobs like this #same poster also opined that we won't need garbagemen #because 'if the trash is bothering people they'll figure out a way to clean it without having to pick it up'#like what??? does that even fucking mean????#construction

breaking the sign in two by how hard im tapping it

#im putting the word queerbait in a very tall box on a very tall shelf and none of you get it back until you actually learn the definition #sjonnies edits #queerbait #queer media #queer #queer issues #there are real queerbaits! a lot of them! but i am SO sick and tired of everything that's not explicitly stated be called queerbait #or when the focus in an action movie is not the full romance #would the hero and the girl have kissed in a straight action movie? sure. but even now more often than not that doesn't happen or the focus #is different entirely #the world doesn't change overnight. but you know what helps changing it? watching the media that's implying it! NORMALISING THAT MEDIA!#showing the studios that it isn't popularity suicide. encouraging actors to diversify and give them the respect they need without turning #every conversation an actor playing a queer character into what their sexuality is!#venom #deadpool and wolverine #loki #911 #<- which. btw. fucking INSANE thing to say #also queer characters CANNOT be used for queerbait #QUEER CHARACTERS CANNOT BE USED FOR QUEERBAIT #they can be buried! but they CANNOT be used for queerbait because they. are. queer.

Novice sewing pattern: Cut out shapes. Line up the little triangles on the edges. Stitch edges together. We've also included step-by-step assembly instructions with illustrations.

Novice knitting pattern: yOU MUSt uNDerstANd thE SECret cOdE CO67 (73, 87, 93) BO44 (63, 76, 90) 28 (32, 34) slip first pw repeat 7x K to end *kl (pl) 42 * until 13" (13, 13, 15) join new at 30 pl for 17 rows ssk 27 k2tog mattress lengthwise BO and sacrifice a goat to the knitting gods. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WANT "INSTRUCTIONS," I JUST GAVE THEM TO YOU

#knitting #no it's not a real pattern but I can't write one that makes sense because I have no freaking clue what any of that means #How do you make things that aren't basic rectangles #Why has every knitter I've asked for help just said 'patterns are easy; you just have to know how to read them' & then refused to teach me #Where do I even find a goat to sacrifice #How do I join the pattern cult #I am so confused #I've been knitting for almost a decade but I can only make scarves and potholders #I learned one (1) stitch by watching a YouTube video and none of my friends or family knit so I have no IRL resources #And nobody I meet seems to want to take the time to explain the rest to me #I taught myself to sew through trial and error but that doesn't really work with knitting because error is pretty much just... Unraveling?#Anyway sorry for the tag rant I'm just frustrated that I see pretty things I want to make but the instructions are in an alien language #And the gap between 'absolute novice' and 'intermediate' seems to be about 20 years of experience and formal instruction

The way my brain activates when the brainrot kicks in. I don't even know what possessed me. Cecil stans please accept my offering of your pookie. My art style is evolving against my will <3

#the way i kept staring at my screen floored cause what DID possess me???#added buckles because what are you a cop?#i was so neutral to cecil until i saw him in a puffy coat and i understood. i am still a mark grayson stan first and i will die that way.#also watched s3 and boy oh boy do i have opinions!#none of which are coherent currently. i'm still simmering. boiling. bubbling. might do a long post of reactions + screencaps tbh.#invincible rotating in my mind #the brainrotsreal's art tag ✧˖°:*♡#invincible fanart #invincible s3 #invincible cecil #cecil stedman #digital art #fanart #invincible #I AM NOT FIXING THE OTHER EYE. BITE ME. this is coloring practice anyway. slowly learning how to draw older men. and skin.
