i wish there was an easier way to tell the difference between an "if it sucks hit da bricks" situation and a "sometimes being an adult means doing things that you dont wanna" situation

Funniest fandoms are where the fans are like, "I'm obsessed with this. I don't recommend it even slightly."

watching a movie at home circa like, 2001 was like

put your TV on channel 2 so the VCR will work

open up the clamp shell case that held the VHS that has that satisfying crrlikkkkkk

put in the movie

gdi it has to be rewound

press STOP and then rewind because its so much faster that way

start the movie and it takes a few seconds for the movie to actually start cause you rewound to the VERY beginning

FBI will get you if you illegally distribute or exhibit this movie

and then. because you forgot that movies are always so much louder than TV

People are trying to bring back 1880s-era anti-ASL sentiment. Worst timeline.

i think what bothers me about a lot of "girl power" narratives is that they function on the implicit idea on the idea that women can become worthy of respect. and i happen to think that really caring about women means believing they already are worthy of respect. that historical seamstresses and soccer moms and forgotten sisters and sweet polite little girls and someone's weird grandma matter just as much as the warriors and politicians, even if they, personally, never accomplish anything "cool."

I have seen this and I understand it and mostly agree with it. But. Why don't we treat historical marriages between men and women in the same way? Why do we look at practices and relationships from thousands of years ago that in terms of what we know about them, are vastly different from modern practices and relationships, and say "yeah clearly that is marriage" because it involves procreation? (and there is also the issue of when a word gets translated as "wife" and when it gets translated as "concubine".) This standard makes sense, and is important, but it isn't being applied to relationships viewed as heteronormative in the same way.

At least two people are interested, so here are my thoughts on the anti-intellectualism surrounding queer histories and why it matters:

Newest finished project! I combined two DMC templates this time, while using elements from both to connect the parts. Also, the flower burst is elongated a bit to go along the seam vertically a bit more instead of being completely round. All in all, I'm very happy with how it turned out.

Idgaf if you don't want to write essays for school. I don't care if you don't want to write corporate emails yourself. I don't care if you can't draw well, I don't care if you can't write well, I don't care if you just really really want to talk to your favorite fictional character but don't want to RP with a real person because you have social anxiety or whatever

If you're still regularly using generative ai, chatgpt or midjourney or character.ai or literally whatever the fuck, im personally blaming you when my utility prices start going up.

the fundamental problem on this website is that if a homeless person tried to talk to most of y’all you’d be scared out of your minds

Remember when we were younger and we made a character's favorite food a core personality trait for them despite having no canon proof they were nearly as obsessed with that particular food as we pretended they were?

look. look. you have to honor what you want and what you feel you need, even if it’s cringey. you have to. if you don’t, if you ignore your weird animal desires and your petty hungers because you feel shame about them, or because they’re not practical, or they’re not what you “should” want, you starve your soul. and one day, you’ll meet people who don’t starve their souls, who give themselves the things you denied yourself and are happier than you for it, and it will hollow you out further with resentment and rage.

the good news is that it’s never too late to start. you can always ask yourself what you want, and maybe if what you want lives at the heart of your disdain. do you know what it feels like to have a well fed soul? would you like to?

Hey i’m a fashion design student so i have tons and tons of pdfs and docs with basic sewing techniques, pattern how-tos, and resources for fabric and trims. I’ve compiled it all into a shareable folder for anyone who wants to look into sewing and making their own clothing. I’ll be adding to this folder whenever i come across new resources
