randomly remembering that i spent like. 10 years? 5/6 to 15/16 yo. wearing literal 19th to early/mid 20th century nightgowns on a daily basis in the warmer months (april-september). for some reason. like floor-length white gowns with embroidered collars and all. there were various models and colors and lengths and shit. they were passed on to my mother by the 10000000000 Ancient Italian Ladies she was learning her italiaboo ways from and like, all of these gowns were genuine period pieces their mothers and aunts and even grandmas (!) had worn when they were my age. (you know like. the eternal condition of "children's clothes get less worn down than adults' clothes since they usually grow them out pretty quickly"). and since they ALL had heaps of Old Unwanted Clothes in their attics (acute case of "never throw anything away" syndrome) they were ELATED to have found a victim period clothing enthusiast and dumped entire suitcases worth of various Ancient Attire on my mother (and, relatedly, on me). and then i wonder why everyone thought i was WEIRD!!! i was talking like urianger AND dressing like him too!!!

imagine you hate your home town so so much so first chance you get you steal a beat up car from a junkyard and you run away and you’re doing a pretty good job of avoiding your hometown except that occasionally you get into fights with your ex boyfriend (toxic relationship and he’s still kind of obsessed with you??) and then this weirdo (who was also maybe your drinking buddy in that “we are not really friends but we are in the little group of weirdos who hate our hometown” way) and who was running unethical experiments in the bio lab at your college (which was also in your detested hometown) attacks your beat up car and kills you (you come back to life) and you’re already SO out of it and then she drugs you to give you amnesia AND THEN she impersonates your friend you’ve been traveling with because she knows that even though you never turned in a homework assignment once, you were a pretty bright kid back when you were in college and she has kidnapped you to work on her new unethical experiments. this is the life of dr who

Right, so I work in the bakery section of a grocery store, and sometimes I have the weirdest encounters.

Just last night, while I was cleaning up, a guy came up with his grocery cart, and sitting in that cart is a baby bouncing and patting at the handle bar. A woman, who I'm pretty sure was his partner, stepped off to look at toaster naan. He asked me, "Hey, do you guys still have the Rumplestiltskin Special?"

I lowered the bottle of cleaner, confused, and asked what he just said.

He repeated the question, and I heard it right. The Rumplestiltskin Special. My confusion only grew.

With an awkward laugh, I asked, "What, are we bargaining on first borns?"

He asked, even more seriously, "No, the Rumplestiltskin Special. Do you guys still do it?"

At this point, I didn't know what to say, and he asked if I had any idea what he was talking about. I said no.

He stood his head and said as he pushed his cart away, "I guess it was before your time."

For the rest of the night, I kept running this interaction over in my head. My coworker in the neighboring department thinks he was messing with me, and he probably was. But like, he didn't look that much older than me, and I've been at this job for a couple of years. I can’t begin to wrap my head around what a Rumplestiltskin Special is.

we need a term for the opposite of woobifying. like when someone only focuses on a characters negative traits or makes up and believes shit about them to make them seem fucked up and evil

i was so brave a couple days ago. there was a baby huntsman spider in my room and i totally didn't fumble trying to catch it 3 entire times while trying to lure it in and out of a box all while screaming and going "whAT THE FUCJ WHAT" whenever it moved even a little bit. in which the reason i was trying to catch it was because it randomly appeared on a box right next to my bed and i knew if i didn't catch it i wouldn't be able to sleep. nope. totally wasn't genuinely frightened by a tiny itty bitty little guy that could literally fit in the palm of my hand 15 times. whaaaat me? scared by a tiny little spider??? psh no wayyyyy man no way

(after i did this i was slightly shaken up and extremely worried there was another much bigger one in my bed and i felt like there were bugs crawling on me until i fell asleep)

Me making a joke about how I am confirmed a "Ken" because of my middle name (it has "Ken" at the start) and that my sister is a "Barbie" because she has a bright pink "Funeral Director Barbie" shirt:

My sister's poc partner: "Wait, that's your middle name? I know so many black girls with that name!"

Sister: *proceeds to inform him of ALL our siblings first and middle names*

My sister's poc partner: "For the whitest family ya'll have the blackest names."

Me: "Our parents thought they were being "original"."

*Several Months Later*

Sister: "So, I was talking to this black lady at work, and she's writing a book. She said you have the blackest first and middle name and that she's stealing it for a character, you have to choose a new name now."

Me: "...Okay?"

Sister: "I said I don't think you'd mind about the middle name, but she might have to fight you for the first name."

Me: "I mean, I don't mind sharing?"

Anyways, I hope that lady wasn't secretly a fae and my sister didn't actually hand over ownership of my name because I'm too lazy to pick out a new name. Although to be fair I do usually just answer to nicknames. People rarely actually use my real name. Hmmm, maybe I'm the fae??? I am apparently a bat cryptid.

what i dont get is how some people think that certain forms of oppression only affect one single group?

like taking the example of transmisogyny and transmisandry (because im seeing those pop up again on my dash): a trans man can absolutely experience transmisogyny if the person who's oppressing them thinks he's a trans woman and vice versa

what happened to "we experience both similar and different forms of oppression and i will empathise with you over the ones we share and sympathise with you over the ones we dont"

also what happened to "communities shouldn't be built based on trauma but instead on allyship"

My life sometimes feels like I’m opening the pantry for some oyster crackers, discovering an other-worldly horror writhing around next to the jello, and just staring at it with sheer exhaustion, deadpan, before closing the door again like yeah not dealing with that today

[realjoehours]

so i’m currently walking down the street to pick up a library book from the library and i hadn’t even made it out of the scheme when this man who’s a related to one of my brother’s friends just stops me and says “why do you look so scared when you walk down the street? you’re always looking scared whenever i see you. are you okay?” and i just say yes because i don’t know how to respond to a situation like this and then he just goes “if anybody says anything to you fucking tell me.” and then he walks away

like thanks? i think? i haven’t even gotten my book yet
