[harbingerofsoup]

i have a question for aro and ace people as someone who is very open and vocal about being a lesbian, how aro/ace phobic is it that people keep assuming im aroace because im a nerd and have dinosaur sheets

Back In The Day i went to this math camp for 11-14 year olds that had a really strict electronics policy -- you weren't allowed to bring a laptop, and you couldn't use electronics other than graphing calculators in class. i can't remember if anything specific was said about cell phones but this was in days of yore when middle school students didn't, like, have smartphones and the camp website DID specify that students could use the dorm landline to call home and the dorm computer lab to send/receive emails. personally i can't remember what i had for a phone but i was definitely running around with a canon point-and-shoot dangling off my wrist (and perpetually banging into EVERYTHING) and listening to music on my beloved ipod touch using wired earbuds.

(actually, i did illegally bring a laptop, because my mom told me she'd gotten me an exemption but this turned out to be a straight-up lie. i kept my laptop in my room so i only got in trouble for it in like. my THIRD SUMMER at the camp. when i got Lectured Sternly by the camp staff i sent my parents an extremely betrayed email which my dad described to the staff as "hysterical". this took place in 2013 and i'm still lowkey mad about it. anyway)

so i randomly wondered tonight what happened to the electronics policy now that middle schoolers are all on instagram or tiktok or whatever, and actually it has gotten stricter: you have to give your phone to the counselor who will give it back to you for half an hour every evening to call your parents and you can't bring any other device that can browse the internet (so if you want to listen to music you'd better grab yourself a good old-fashioned mp3 player). broadly a good idea, i think, but how the fuck are the math-obsessed youth of today supposed to fall asleep after an overstimulating day of math classes and impromptu set tournaments without the ability to read fanfiction and/or watch overwrought naruto amvs late into the night, i ask you??

(in hindsight this may have had something to do with why i was floridly sleep-deprived by about the third week of camp every year. otoh in college it really came in handy that i had all this practice at doing math homework while running on fumes and sleep debt)

i thought it would be nice to share two projects i made in art class this semester!

title: angel of change

this one's a fun collage/sculpture about the positive and negative changes one can go through when starting college! featuring a nervous little peg person on the road, a surge of waves, and a biblically accurate pet rock angel smoking a cigarette

title: wing surfaces of morpho didius

and this is a sculpture of a morpho butterfly! with its ventral wing surfaces (the visible side of the wings) painted realistically, and with its dorsal wing surfaces (the hidden side of the wings) covered with messily-colored butterfly coloring book pages. the idea here is that my fascination with butterflies, despite being very scientific now, is still one imbued with naïveté, playfulness, and childlike wonder :)

And so the big sskk shortage begins (no sskk for the next 15 episodes) (and the sskk episode coming after kind of sucks)

sometimes i think about how me and my twin brother used to make elaborate plans about how our future homes would be right next to each other or connected somehow. for a long while we did live right next to each other and i mooched off his wifi from my front porch because i never got mine installed. now we live in the same house again. i hope we always stay close because those human-sized hamster tunnels between houses we always discussed would be really awesome to bring to fruition

🏨 gimme those blorbo rooms fdsfdsfsfsd, since it’s Pinterest can I ask for more than one? XD if so ima ask to Karimas and Shaheens OH and also Gideons (low key I know what valens/yazans looks like but its a good excuse for u to get to share) so if u want to Valens and Yazans wild be fun 😌

K BYEEE <3 😘

LOLL im glad you asked and yes i will give you all of them 😌😂😂

Karima: she’s obsessed with collecting room decor and she has a crochet corner, half of her decor is crocheted too honestly 😂 I think she also has a thing for animal print stuff esp curtains and pillow cases, she’d keep small ceramics stuff she made with daemon everywhere

Shaheen: idk why it was funny to imagine his college dorm lol he uses space very efficiently also his desk is very important 🧠

Gideon: his room is so big and so empty but he’s barely home so who cares, the only notable thing about it besides the diabolical toys collection on display is the display cabinet he keeps all his medals, plane models, pictures, uniforms etc in

Yazan: yazan’s room as you know is a Dumpster 😂 it’s impossible to find anything in there and it’s never tidy, also so many posters and records + ofc drum corner

Valen: very pretty but his room is an entire house in itself you need directions to where everything is 💀 Texas king bed with a canopy, mirror above bed/on ceiling, maximalist unique decor and very beautifully coordinated color wise. Also huge portraits of himself obviously lol

There’s no way that this can backfire horribly or be annoying for anyone.

make the sphere poll!

okay! here goes

elaborate on context in the tags, if you like (did you watch it in an educational context? did a friend show it to you? did you stumble upon it alone, in a late-night youtube binge kept secret from your parents?)

[hey-scully-itsme]

trying to find nice older furniture for a reasonable price on facebook marketplace in SoCal is a labyrinth of overpriced Ikea and shoddy 80s cabinets and its driving me nuts

[electoons]

when I think about how many nice valuable items I have misplaced over the years it really makes me want to kill myself unironically

[elytrafemme]
