I live on the ground floor, and my brother and sister in law live two floors up, so sometimes we drop in on each other for some reason or other.

Our building also has an elevator. I don't use it, because I don't like it. I hate it. It's small and cramped and there's weird noises even though it's brand new, and I am convinced it's poorly built.

I take the stairs. But the neighbors usually use the elevator, so if I happen to start heading upstairs at the same time that a neighbor comes into the building, I take great pleasure in climbing the stairs at the most geriatric pace possible and still beat them to my destination, especially if we're headed to the same floor.

Like, sometimes I reach the second floor so quickly that I have to deliberately slow down so they see me as they step out of the elevator and know that the weirdo with the creaky knees is faster going up two flights of stairs than they are using the untrustworthy moving box.

Is my rivalry with the elevator as an entity just a bit unhinged? Am I just making a very unnecessary power move? Yes.

I'm still faster than that fucker, though.

Today I learned that ppl with adhd are more likely to have allergies... and I'm very much obsessed with this now.

here's the thing. yes, some pieces of art are "better" than others. there are many criteria you can measure that with--technical skill, creativity, clarity, conceptual depth, successful execution of the artist's intentions, etc., and i do think it's useful to clarify which ones you're using as a measuring stick. but like, of course you can evaluate art. of course you can be critical (in the "art critic" sense) of art. (among other things, that's one of the most important ways to get better at making art yourself.)

however. when it comes down to evaluating what gets to count as art. what art even gets to have a seat at the table. i will go to bat for the thing that isn't as "good" every single time.

you can say you think a piece of art is bad. you can say you think it lacked technical skill, or clarity, or conceptual depth, and you consider those important elements of a successful work. i might even agree with you. but if you think that means it doesn't matter, someone is going to die on this hill and it isn't going to be me

Friendly reminder that you need to wear gloves and a proper respirator mask when working with resin. They are not optional.

I find it really interesting that in the “anger” playlist intro she says that the common thing about all the songs was that she wrote them while she was feeling anger. This particularly intrigues me about the folklore and evermore songs, because they’re the more clearly fictionally-cloaked songs (other than maybe mad woman). Because it makes me wonder what, ahem, personal situations from her past she was drawing from to write those that made her feel that anger (again other than mad woman, which is pretty obvious). Like, yes they are characters and inspired by other stories but they’re clearly… infused.

I hate when people over simplify or over memeify the culture of Asian Parents and tiger parenting - especially if they aren't Asian themselves. Its extremely normalized abuse and its not really a great look for non-AAPI to have a laugh over it tbh.

Especially in trauma and DID spaces, I feel its important for non-AAPI to be cognicient of just how non-optional it can be in presenting "stellar and perfect" inspite of being severely mentally ill and how deeply that will inherently play into the trauma and often how the system forms.

It's not to say all Asian households have it, or that all Asian households that have it push it to such a length, but its really not a haha-hehe typical Asian thing and it really isn't something to compare to non-AAPI culturally rooted trauma.

"you can't just ignore massive narratively consequential chunks of a characters' story that you don't like or disagree with" actually i can. and i do. and it's very easy ^_^

my personal stance on gay slurs is: i can call myself this, you can call yourself that, but if you call me that, that's when i'm going to have a problem.

[the-tenth-arcanum]

being italian online while not visibly black can get weird sometimes, people will assume you're white (understandable) and you'll do something innocuous like calling yourself an "expat" only to have someone go "expat? EXPAT?? oh so when foreigners come to OUR country they're immigrants but when we do it—! you're an immigrant. just say you're an immigrant" and I'm like, look I appreciate the spirit. but as the child of an immigrant who, at times, has been made to feel Other in my own native country, I would like to experience not feeling Other every once in a while you know? like I think that's a valid point you're making but you should redirect that energy somewhere else
