absolutely infuriating when an algorithm correctly understands your interests. things etsy thinks i want to buy:

earrings shaped like fish: correct but i am very picky

vintage fabric, quilts, and patterns: i window shop often, fair

WOOL BLANKETS: yes. and also i have actually bought. several of these. sorry for blankie boy crimes.

[redacted, spoilers for a plan i have to annoy my bf]: yeah.

headache- and migraine-related novelty stickers. true.

beautiful vintage-style cast iron laundry pulley systems: i want one of these more than almost anything else in the world

Boiled, bleached, and drying. Oyster and clam shells waiting to be decorated for Christmas ornaments gifts.

No fic rec list this week guys. Work kicked my ass this past week and I am EXHAUSTED. Next week shouldn't be as busy (I fucking hope), so the fic recs will resume then.

Have a lovely weekend!

being in your 20s is finding out you can't move your body in the ways you could as a child

the example people always go for with 'taking things literally' is 'not understanding idioms and metaphors' or 'not understanding sarcasm' and that's frustrating for Me, Specifically, Personally because I am a person who has a lot of social struggles with Taking Things Literally but, crucially, not in that sense. I understand idioms & metaphors just fine and, as someone who's primary special interest is the written word & storytelling, actually am pretty good at them and thrive with them. I miss sarcasm occasionally but catch it most of the time and am often sarcastic myself.

No, my Taking Things Literally is that if you say something to me or give me an instruction, I will Understand It Literally. I will get what you said and not at all what you meant. There are exceptions to this in cases where I've learned the script and even use it myself (e.g. the other day I asked my mum "Is this Not Butter" about a thing, and she replied "Yes but it has buttermilk", because we both understood the real question was "is this the lactose-free spread?" because I was making food for my sister) but in the vast majority of cases, I just. will miss implications and unspoken assumptions. I will just completely miss them, they will not register, I Did Not Know They Were There.

Implications in a narrative? I am on it immediately, this is my bread and butter, I can pull a story apart to get to five layers of subtext & implication & theme like breathing

Reliably understanding that the request "Can you empty the dishwasher?" includes emptying the drying rack which is not physically part of the dishwasher because the real request is "Can you put the clean dishes away?"? Not a chance

i talk a lot of shit for someone scared to turn the stand mixer on a speed faster than medium-low

How is it that we've made dinner rolls over a dozen times since moving here and no one has ever cut them and buttered them before... but today of all days is the time someone decided to ruin them?

[running-in-the-dark]

we've only had our new washing machine for four days and I've already done laundry more times than in the past two years combined 🙃
