If we're all pretty much on board by now with "media consumption is not activism," are we ready to move on yet to the necessary corollary of "failure to consume media is not failure of activism?"
#salty sunday#this is about a lot of things I've seen#but mostly about the person getting Big Mad#that people listen to Hozier's love ballads more than his political anthems#teenage girls like love songs idk what to tell you man#I really don't think the continuing tensions in the UK between the republic of ireland and the British government#are happening because 13 year old girls in kentucky are listening to the wrong music

The Snape fans are currently whining about the fact that Papa Essiedu is playing him. They're claiming that the reboot will make him unrecognisable or whatever 🙄
I just hope that they handle the race issue properly because there could be troubling implications about SWM because there'd be a racial angle to it (the Snape stans are saying that it makes Harry being a wizard cop that much worse {he hunts dark wizards not dark skin and also, not everything's about America} and Marauders stans are saying that a so called 'incel' shouldn't be played by a white man).
This is just so delightful to me, on my list of worst Harry Potter subfandoms the Snape stans easily take the second spot (only beaten by Marauders stans). Snape is an iconic character, i'm glad a black man is lucky enough to play him, good for him and fuck everyone else.
#replies#sweetdelusionwombat#it's so annoying to me that every time a black person gets cast for a white character we have to think about *the racial implications*#look British society is just not what it looked like in the 90s demographics have changed#it's not that deep. Snape can be black with no 'implications'. it's not gonna change the character and it doesn't have to.#you know why? because the premises for why said 'implications' would be bad are already wrong#it's not bad for a black man to play an incel because Snape isn't one#also even if he were black men can be incels so??#it's also not bad for Snape to be black because Harry becomes a cop#because Harry doesn't become a cop#also Snape is dead when Harry becomes an Auror#ALSO Harry doesn't become an Auror on screen??#like this entire thing is a mess lmao why even care

Being interested in British polar explorers is such a huge learning curve in empathy and understanding human nature because we’re faced with hundreds of men that agreed with the British Empire to the point of actively helping it but we see past that. We see the people beneath the morally fucked views and we love them. And I think that is such an important skill to have because you’re always going to meet people that you don’t completely agree with, that’s just life. But if you hated everyone who you didn’t fully agree with, there’d be no one left on earth for you to love
#that and#having morally bad opinions doesn’t automatically make someone a bad person#just like having morally good opinions doesn’t automatically make someone a good person#and yeah#we ignore it most of the time#but that’s what you do when you love someone isn’t it#you ignore the things you don’t like about them as much as you possibly can#and almost everyone learns to do that at some point in their life#and maybe that’s not always for the best#but it is if their a genuinely good person underneath it all#omg no#*they’re#i’m not changing it#i’m on mobile#but i’m ashamed#and with these guys it’s the extreme of that#honestly#if you can learn to love a 19th - early 20th century british polar explorer you can learn to love anyone#tarra speaks#tarra’s opinions#polar exploration#polar explorers#british navy#british empire

Btw these are my progress photos in order (I'm sorry they are so ugly)
There's something off about him but I'm not fixing it now
#jttw#journey to the west#sun wukong#monkey king#Im so sorry Wukong :(#He's so vibrantly ginger it's unreal#This is just his head#He has no body or stick#Tmr is a very stressful time for me so he may be a floating head for a while 💔#His lips are too light and dark at the same time#He doesn't really look like a monkey either#I will fix him in due time#Maybe ask my art teacher if its acceptable enough to be considered course work#She hates me#And everyone else tbh#She screamed at this guy for a solid 10 minutes in the middle of the class#Was t.e.r.r.i.f.y.i.n.g#Sorry been watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S#I'm at Ross' second divorce#It's one of those perfect background sound kind of shows#Specifically when all my focus is on the first thing I'm doing#Same with the office no clue what happened Seasons 2-7 (idk how many there are)#Atla too. I watched it full attention the first two times and now I crochet to it#f.r.i.e.n.d.s is so weird honestly#I really liked Emily's parents tho#As a British person I just wanna say they were great representation#They were clearly horrible people but in a funny way#I want a spin off show dedicated to young Pheobe cause she's my fav and her life is so interesting#Sad but interesting

#when i was first coloring him in he was gonna be golden chinchilla colored but then i was like ehhh jonah magnus should be red/orange but#elias should be gray ...so i just desaturated what i already did instead of recoloring lol but#he is now supposed to be shaded silver lol#but thats why his coat pattern is on the darker side compared to what it *should* be#og elias bouchard coming from an important/roch family and while whole thing with thinking he just *deserves* stuff bc of his upbringing.#etc. -> he is purebred and matches the breed standards etc for a scottish fold of his color#obviously the eye color doesn't matter because. ahaha#i thought elias fit the Scottish fold vibes because: Scottish folds are known for looking sort of like owls and having intense eyes#and the cat body/face type (also present in british shorthairs) to me gives off sort of... unnasumming vibes?#like ahaha yes i am a boring boss who loves paperwork look at how unnasumming i am season 1-2 elias y'know#trying to think of what cat breed jonah would be. and also jon gerry etc you know all the other characters i like#would it be boring to have multiple british shorthairs#i mean..#Michael shelley/distortion is a laperm that's all I know#i didn't particularly care with the personality attributes associated with eliascat because it didn't need to fit his personality on account#of not being his original body. but i do try to keep in mind the best personality/look/etc. cat attributes as a whole for a character#also sometimes get obsessed with jt making historical and geographical sense but then it just limits me greatly to a point im not into it#so i don't care about specific breeds in that respect lol#tma#my art#elias bouchard#the magnus archives#some notes looking back(made it 2 hours ago but still looking back ok..) on it now are that i feel like elias would never choose this breed#for his next bodyhop because of the inherent health issues in scottish folds. I saw the breed was created in like the early 1960s and#assumed that maybe the health issues wouldn't have been common knowledge until later enough for jonah to be unaware of them but actually no#there's legislation about it like 6 years later LOL so jonah would..maybe not make this choice#i guess in the future when drawing i will just make him a British shorthair#my catTMA is simultaneously 'they are just regular cats or like all show cats or something' and 'exact tma plot but as intelligent cats'#LOL its just vague in my mind idk..also maybe jon can be an Abyssinian#ALSO WHAT WAS I THINKING 'jonah may not have been aware about x thing' like did i...did i forget. me 2 hours ago was dumb as rocks

#the idea that police brutality is a uniquely american thing is so fucking stupid#It also shows what country's are really good at pr. or at least just pointing to the usa and saying at least we are not them#i have tried to have so many conversions about police brutality in this country and everyone always says it rarely ever happens#BITCH DO YOU NOT KNOW YOUR HISTORY???#or do you just live in the nice side of a town in the countryside where there's like 3 poc per town#though its always both innit...#but the audacity of some people to ignore the violence the british police uses just bc the victims are homeless/roma/travelers/in inner cit#Like i know i have the 'privilege' of knowledge#But there's a reason my friends would even suggest going to a cops stall at pride to question them and im shaking like a leaf#just bc the pigs here are good at doing it where ppl dont see/dont care about it or to people that have been dehumanized doesnt mean it#doesnt happen#i wouldn't call being... lets just say very aware of the reality of it at a young age... a fucking privilege#get your head out your ass and apply your critiques of the usa to your own fucking country!!!!!!!#sorry. tag rant over.#fuck the police in every iteration and every country & also the military#EDIT: this is not to diminish the horrors of police brutality in the usa- just me personally ranting about how people use how awful and#frequency to absolve other [mainly european] country's police

There is a smut author who has my exact first and last name. I have a degree in creative writing. Therefore, when you search "*my name* writer" you get bombarded with results about smutty books.
Is... Is this why I can't find work? Do I need to put "not that *my name* on the top of my CV?!?"
#it's not that i don't like smut#write what you like#but it's not good when someone googles your name and that's the first thing they see#when you click around you see that this person is american and i'm british and she's a bit older than me#but a tired recruiter isn't putting that much effort into background checks and is probably going off of whatever they find on google#so like...#oof...#i am applying to work in fields where i work with children to a large extent#libraries#museums#in my current volunteering gig at a zoo they want me to man a walkthrough exhibit and educate kids about the animals there#so holy christ what the hell must they think of me!?!?!?!?!#i have the sudden urge to email every organisation i've ever applied with and tell them i'm not the person they saw on google!!!

see like i've never been a super conscious user of australian slang & my accent is fairly mild so back home i'm like. often never the most aussie-sounding person in the room? but being overseas has just been a long string of wondering why other people don't understand what i'm saying 😭😭😭😭
#personal#that post is putting soooo many things in perspective LMAO there's so much i never realised other people don't say...............#like istg i have offered to shout drinks and stuff for colleagues here#& then they have. to my mind responded oddly?#like i'll say oh i'll shout you and they won't rlly respond/will go on and pay without even saying 'oh no it's ok'#which would be like. the expected interaction you know#and i've always been like huh but i offered........#flash forward to now when i'm like. oh you guys just didn't know what i was saying huh 💀#anyways being overseas has rlly sorted out my cultural cringe and made me feel much more australian than before#bc i'm like. oh no i'm not british at all actually. this is so much more different than i thought#so i will NOT be stopping i will be making myself WORSE

i do think the doctor's lil speech about "time lords are the most civilised civilisation, we're beyond your petty genders and gender stereotypes" is pure cope btw. time lord society for sure is up to their eyeballs in rigid and stifling social conventions, they're just different to the ones humans have. that's why the doctor secretly cannot fucking stand the place and does everything in their power to avoid visiting it, even when it hasn't been recently exploded.swit
#dw#i think this kinda bears out in canon bc bill is immediately like 'you still call yourselves time LORDS though'#and the doctor is like aw shut up. bc he knows he's kinda talking bullshit.#my personal headcanon is that time lords do still have a gender binary and gender roles#and it's not really the done thing to regenerate as a different sex to the one you were born as.#this provides a convenient in-universe explanation#for why the doctor (as far as they knew up until recently) had only been a man for most of their life.#i'm fairly sure most other time lord characters seem to have a specific binary gender and stick to it.#it also makes the doctor (and the master!) transgender#in a way that's more interesting to me than 'socially progressive alien utopia doesn't care about gender'#like. when you get down to it. gallifrey is britain and the doctor is british. for better or for worse lmao#in a harder sci-fi story there would be no good reason for alien genders and conservative social norms to so closely mirror human ones#but that's not really what doctor who is about.

I haaate when apple pay doesn’t work and I have to type my credit card number in because now I have to actually comprehend the ways in which I am damaging myself financially
#i am not even going to lie to you i have bought a typewriter#in my defence i have been thinking about it for ages. i mean this thing has been in the back of my mind since i heard of it in like… may#maybe june. july? anyway it’s been a while#and realistically yes i need to stop making stupid purchases before someone finds out and does an intervention#but for all i know the next great british novel is percolating in my head and i will make my money back#and if not.. at least i can ban myself from buying notebooks and that’ll save me some money#i do have an idea to declutter. i’m going to sell and donate all my surplus knitting needles#basically i will try to donate them first but i doubt anyone will take all of them so i’m going to try vinted and other such places#how will i package these? that remains to be seen#i have. all my grandma’s old needles. my stepdad’s mom’s old needles. my stepdad’s ex-mother-in-law’s old needles#some of my neighbour’s mom’s old needles; some of my godmother’s mom’s old needles; and also needles i myself bought when i was like 16#and price point was the only thing i looked at#i’m talking like well over a hundred pairs of knitting needles; some straight some circular and a lot of dpns#none of them seem to be in coherent sets with regards to material or length so uhhh that’s fun#honestly i think i’m just going to get everything but my chiaogoo needles and anything that isn’t actively in a project out of the house#and then buy chiaogoo interchangeables. and then that’s it. that’s all the needles i need in my life#maybe i will keep some of my knitpro symfonie as well since they were expensive and also i love them. but idk#symfonie would be my first choice for a full set of dpns in every possible size i gotta say. i love symfonie#anyway. so that’s what’s happening here#i also want to organise my notions and crochet hooks because i feel like i buy them then lose them then they turn up and i just end up#with tons. there must be about 20 tapestry needles in this house. how many do i currently have access to? 3#personal
