societies that demonize children and child bearing when their population starts its dramatic decline and women still refuse to have children: 😮
#I'm not saying that people need to be forced to have children#but sometimes social engineering works#if you do bristle at the idea of having children#that repulsion did not emerge in a vacuum and isn't any more natural than the people you think were brainwashed to want them#there's this idea that heterosexual norms need to be constantly enforced because they're unnatural (?) or not the default or something#and it's not clear to me if the idea is that you can abolish heteronormativity to return people to their natural inclinations#or if the idea is that as heteronormativity is engineered so also you can engineer whatever you like#either way#one of the implications has been that having children is slavery and not having children is freedom#and so if you think that#as the heterosexual values were culturally pushed#so also your hatred of children is a cultural expression#your beliefs are not insulated from your society or your surroundings

Dream Home - Part 2
Today I want to continue the description of the ideal home my partner and I envision. I copy here again what I said about it in the first part of this post, here. In that first part, I shared with you our idea for the home itself, while today I am going to speak about its sustainability, a topic that deeply resonates with us. Photo by Emre Can Acer on Pexels.com Part 1 – The House Here is a…

Anyways incorporating new saint hcs into my semi au Sliver lore means that now saint gets to continuously experience ascending Sliver forever 👍
#rat rambles#rain posting#along with everything else theyve ever experienced yay#here have some other miscellaneous saint hcs while Im thinking abt them#as Ive said before I like to think that they are physically and mentally quite young and mostly act on what motions theyve taken before#which since their existence is infinite and all that jazz it mostly means that they carry both the same actions and the same emotions#across all moments of their existence#they don't rly understand the things they do or the mental states they achieve as they have a hard time focusing on any given moment#it also doesn't help that the more they think the more their thoughts overlap with all that has been and all that there ever will be#plus theyre y'know. a slugcat. so generally they arent super built to deal with smth this complex#no one rly would be but especially not some adolescent slugcat#I also dont think of them as cruel or mean in nature#I generally think of them as fairly kind when they can be#not that its easy for them to act on it#theyre also ofc generally extremely frail and sickly but thats mostly due to how thin theyre stretched out#their body doesnt age but it still is clearly strained under the pressure of an eternal existence#anyways for a complete change in tone I also like to imagine their fur isnt actually like mammal fur#idk quite how to describe the vision in my head but think of it as kind of like thick insulated foam almost?#its actually prone to getting gooey and melty when its too warm#they do have quite sensitive skin underneath the coat so its important to keep the coat clean while taking care to not disturb it too much#hense their long thin tongue thats often used for careful and precise grooming#or at least thats the idea. saint doesn't actually take very good care of their coat and its often left worse for wear as a result#a more typical fluffy slugcat would usually be able to survive in the worst of the blizzard's that appear in saint's campaign#in fact in my hcs there are actually plenty of slugcats whove built large communities together in such climates with the advantage that#they can afford to emerge during the blizzards to stockpile on food and then hide away during the calm times#it's not uncommon for groups that hibernate together to eat their coats to recycle nutrients and ensure they won't overhead during their#shared hibernation together#their coats will usually grow back during that time and are usually grown enough to handle the outside world again by the time they need to#communal grooming is also extremely common as maintaining their skin health is one of the most important parts of their survival

I’m very happy I discovered Madewell jeans and find them in my local consignment shops often, I find them on sale for $10-17 and they fit and feel so nice!! If I’m looking and see one that fits me and is on sale it’s generally an instant purchase, and they last ages too. I will never spend more than $35 on a pair of pants or buy new so I’m in a very happy spot for pants rn
#personal#also permanently living in my skinny jeans era#but also I have h&m and mossimo pants from like 2017 that are still in great condition. mossimo pants are noticeably thicker denim though#so they are my winter denims. stretch fabrics do not insulate from the cold at all naturally

unpopular spn opinion: the bunker was a huge mistake and made the show worse in every conceivable way
#spn#look i was actually excited about the bunker as a concept when it was first introduced#and i too thought 'oh they deserve a real home something they've never had'#but it changed the nature of the show and not for the better#when they were on the road they were out there meeting people and staying in touch with the world#they saved people and lived in their little towns for a week and cared about them#the bunker insulated them and made them turn inward and only care about the inhabitants of their little closed off world#the bunker made the writing that way anyways#honestly wish the bunker had fucking exploded by the end of season 9 :)#my words

It's definitely not the most widely held belief in online fan spaces (at least not at it's full potency, I think a watered down version is more widely felt imo) but I do think some fans approach art and fandom with this weird idea that because a bad story disappoints or even hurts the fans of a work, it's like. A personal and/or moral failing of the creator for making that bad story. And it should be treated with the same gravitas as something with more far reaching consequences and implications. Yknow?
#ramblings of a lunatic#the stuff got me thinking about this (broadly) doesn't even apply to this post it just got my brain going#i have a lot of thoughts about how wild the blogging style is across a lot of comics fandom tumblr#about how it's one of the few fandoms I've been in that genuinely can't claim to be more chill than twitter#bc even though twitter is structurally the platform more designed to produce outrage engagement amonst ppl#comics tumblr is genuinely just so naturally vitriolic that it completely matches twitters energy without those structural flaws#like as in there's no real environmental excuse for everyone being crazy it's just like that here#and the occasional toxicity i stumble upon just kind of made me start thinking about this#i do think a lot of ppl on comics tumblr have valid complaints about the works#i just also see ppl treat disappointing stories as moral failures aside from any ~problematic~ content featured in it#(and also. problematic content exists on a sliding scale that logically should effect critical response but doesn't often in comics spaces)#it's like those callout lists that start w/ ships the target doesn't like and ends with their illegal human trafficking ring#girl let's prioritise a bit#i also think that tumblr is an incredibly insulated environment from comic fan spaces as a whole?#like the sledgehammer approach to crit and the ridiculously high expectations for a famously stupid medium#is in some ways a direct response to the supposed vibe of irl comic spaces (often not dominated by marginalized ppl-#-and therefore socially focused crit of the works is shut down/ignored/not engaged w much-#-and that any bad storyline will be praised and elevated if it has superficial crowd pleasers like big fights and power scaling)#and i think there's some merit to that#but i also think that comics Tumblr suffers from the a lot of the chronically online fanspace hallmarks#there's always going to be a different tone when it's me and comics cashier bitching about gotham war#than it is seeing ppl online post in such a manner that discussion is actively discouraged (bc there's already a didactic tone to begin w)#anyway none of this is unique to comics Tumblr (minus the being equally as rancid as twitter)#and it's not like I'm not having fun. I'm actually having a lot of fun analysing the few moments I'm not having fun bc of All Of The Above#comics tumblr is an ideal test subject for my experiments#and i need to make more art so i can nestle deeper in the bushes to watch the wildlife from afar#anyway. at least 60% of you are alright. 20% I'd argue are even cool.#10% of you are right but annoying about it and 10% of you would've done great as catholic crusaders#but unfortunately were born as queer 20-somethings in the 21st century

Am truly built for cold weather.
#I am very husky with very thick hair so I’ve a lot of insulating padding.#but also consistent cold weather is so depressing and grey and void it just makes me even more sad than I naturally am. so idk#I love being in the cold weather in the south in a t-shirt while everyone asks me how I’m not freezing but it feels sooo relaxing and good

Types of Fillers in Construction
Introduction Fillers play a pivotal role in construction, providing stability, strength, and insulation. Their selection is critical, affecting the cost, durability, and environmental impact of a project. This article delves into the various types of fillers utilized in the construction industry. 1. Natural Fillers Natural fillers like sand, gravel, and stone are ubiquitous in construction due to…

This is gonna sound so extremely pathetic and sad but I met a dear friend today and hugged them and I was so startled by it like the height difference took me by surprise despite not forgetting about it but I have hugged only like my mom n my aunt (and just a couple inches taller than me) and a while ago my grandma for Quite A Long While so I literally lost practice regarding interacting with people 🧍 I cursed within earshot of their parents bc i kept forgetting I couldn't n I had to keep reminding myself to not lay down bc i wasn't at home n to speak to them n not only my sister n the fact that there were more ppl present..
#it makes le ashamed to admit it but it felt v nice to be in a clean house lol#her house has nice flooring nice smooth unstained walls a small living room with even like a coffee table you can walk around the dinning#table perfectly fine her bathroom has a sink and the houses properly insulated so the ac kept it nice and fresh without standing in front of#it#she even has a little table to do her job!! she did my sister's nails for a concert shes going to and mine too bc my lil sister paid for#them LOL she undervalues her work sm tho they were so cheap.. she experimented with mine like blowing thru a straw to get this blood#splatter pattern! it got in my hands but ngl it looks cooler that way + she picked a v nice length not unlike what I've kept my own natural#nails at when they were sturdier (or i was less uncoordinated idk)#she made me feel v welcome so i didnt even think much about stinking + it did get me out of the house for 4h#personal

Is it infuriating my disabled, food-allergy having ass who doesn't live near a grocery store within walking distance on a good day has to order groceries from Amazon in order to survive? Yes. Do their new silver-foil insulation bags for frozen things mean I now have free wrapping paper for birthdays and holidays? Also yes
#frugal#not sure how i feel about those insulation bags they almost certainly aren't recyclable regardless of what the bag says#and i normally go for eco-friendly wrapping paper like just brown kraft paper or spam mail newspaper#but the foil insulation bags were going in the trash anyway so might as well give them one more use in life before that#sigh even if the bags were recyclable this apartment complex doesn't have recycling#also eco-friendly or not wrapping paper is such a scam#hell the eco-friendly wrapping paper should be cheaper because there's no foil or glitter or decor#but naturally the recyclable plain paper wrapping paper is 3x the cost of plastic coated wrapping paper#make it make sense#anyway PSA with the holidays coming up: most wrapping paper isn't recyclable so don't put it in the recycling bin#non-recyclable things in the recycling bin means the entire neighborhoods recycling gets thrown out#so all the recyclable things end up in the landfill regardless of intent

as ever like: no two things Need to be juxtaposed, much less like material vs material deathmatch Only One Can Be Good, much less am i thinking i have thee objective word on fuckall b/c who does and it's like perfectly boring & unserious whenever someone just throws out Takes that are just "i think...[xyz] is [adjective]" like okay.
but anyways thinking of how, though differing in execution in a lot of ways ofc, deh & bmc start out in a v similar place & explore a journey to self-acceptance from a despairing starting point....it feels like a lot of the hindrance in deh's exploration of its own Theme there is in like, hey. :) hand on your shoulder. it's okay b/c you'll be able to be more normal. whereas w/bmc it's that it's okay b/c you'll be able to be more abnormal
#like hell yeah. and Normality is fake the way that things like Gender is fake so. what's more universally relevant here#versus like. the idea that a winning takeaway re: deh is Talking With Your Parents / Kid like#yeah that could be an improvement? in other situations; that Talking is dangerous &/or just not going to happen / be irrelevant#meanwhile nobody is ''normal'' & the idea of Normality & its Moral Goodness / Requirement does affect everyone#meanwhile that bmc is clear on jeremy's gaining supportive relationships means support for his relationship w/himself#whilest he's also able to feel better insulated from feeling Defined by whatever instance of feedback/input#whereas with deh it's like. All These People....but log off & all you need is at least one parent who doesn't hate you No Matter What#including your unfortunate abnormality....Just(tm) make the phone calls am i right? well now he at least has a part time job#meanwhile difficult to compare w/e's going on w/zoe/evan vs mpdg4mpdg jeremy/christine. latter are cute & a coherent relationship#former are [nothing] to [i'm taking psychic damage] & fuck if i know what's going on besides The Ultimate Romance(tm) (negative)#he was a boy she was a girl they could politely tolerate each other's presence. maybe forever :')#i really don't know what's supposed to be going on there so like. for real share Any reasons you like each other in Either love song abt it#anyways like No Need To Compare but for me the juxtaposition is natural b/c it Does feel like they can be looked at re: a v similar Essence#but one is fumbling around w/it & really Not sticking the landing especially while the other just does exactly what it's trying to do#and ofc it could only help that deh had to go so far from the original [???] ideas & more Farcical approach#vs i don't think bmc's envisioning ever changed so fundamentally along its development at any point#like deh's story does feel like it still has the remnants of the earlier farcier versions even in its bway form#story of A Bunch Of Wild Shit Happens To Our Protag Whaaat & sure ppl are humanized but you still never made room for like a quarter of the#alana & jared? they're alright but they died#anyways & in all these things it's like It's Not A Big Deal lol i am not here to strive to have thee true & final word#right tf on if you as well know them both & like deh more / think It was the more successful execution of its story#though i have natural enemies like say [trt loyalists who are Like That] or forever [deh haters who are Like That]....we're different#erased a tangent also mentioning how i like the Parent Approach of mr. heere's arc better than any parents in deh lol. like of course#it's Not about his Feelings or being Imperfect or Human. like ofc he has the feelings & is human & imperfect#but he just gets energized & focused like welp bummer but ofc i gotta give my kid more support w/whatever he's going through rn#like hell yeah. one fun song we're good to go#bmc#deh

I’ve curated my desk to be impossibly cute AND incredibly functional - which means I’m unstoppable now.
#talkin to myself#😭 this stupid desk lamp that took 85 years to get here has made my dumb week#(i do have other lights in this room but they're really bright / a lot at night time)#and while i have a lot of natural light in the day the blackout shades are pretty integral to the insulation of my room#so this desk lamp is practical as well as cute a win-win

learnt that way fewer dendrites die in autistic brains than allistic ones from childhood to adulthood, which actually could not make more sense
#neuro lesson:#in your brain there are a bunch of cells that look like trees#branches on one end and roots on the other#unlike trees the branches and roots want to grab onto one another. thats how connections are formed#when you're born you have very few connections. and the trunks of the trees are poorly insulated so it takes a long time for information to#get through them (think of this like a wire)#when you're a child everything is pretty connected because you're yet to learn rigid pathways#which is why children always say such interesting and unexpected things. the irregular pathways havent died off yet#and as you learn more about how to fit into the world and how it works unnecessary roots and branches are culled so that signals can get#through faster and more efficiently.#the insulation helps everything get through faster. this is naturally formed in all adult brains (and is chipped away in old age)#and in an autistic brain a lot more connections are kept. which explains sensory overloads and creativity
