I love that one of my final tasks as a lead is straight up firing someone. Whee.

Okay so we're at 623/1025 Pokemon done right now that's 60.78%, and did you know that each 1 (one) new unique crochet brings us .09% (NOT EVEN A /TENTH/ OF A PERCENT) closer to 100%. That's 402 more Pokemon to go (currently) (not including ones that have different variants/forms). That's so many. Whoa. Wow.

There's something so insane to me about being able to create and recreate vintage or even ancient music, clothes, fabrics, building architecture, anything, really.

I watched this video about a lady who knit a WWII-era vest, and it was really unique, because the cable work would eat up yarn, when there were shortages of fibers. This pattern would have likely been used by people to send overseas to soldiers, and now it's being created in a time where this war has been over for generations. What were the people making this pattern thinking of? What about the people making the vest? Could they fathom a world where world wars didn't happen back to back? Could they imagine what peace felt like, or did it fade like a distant memory, a faint friend? All we have now are the remnants of their efforts, a "simple" vest that would warm the bodies of countless people the knitter would never have imagined were here on earth with them.

We're reaching across time to learn about other people - we're reaching our hands out just to grasp anything tangible. And when we've take hold of something, all we can do is say I love you I love you I love you

sorry to still be on those polls but genuinely some of those responses are so distressing to me. the belief that trans people should go through that self discovery process in monastic self isolation and never receive input from the people who love them Until They're Ready is so genuinely bleak and indefensible, regardless of whether or not you're ideologically consistent about which audiences you think the suggestion is "appropriate" for. and furthermore the idea that a cis person getting erroneously told theyre trans by One Person is somehow equivalent to a trans person getting coercively held to agab standards by The Whole World...... like come on. come on.

Me: I’m not going to join the petty ship discourse about dunmeshi shipping

Me after checking ao3: wtf why is Marc!lle/Ch!lchuck the third most popular ship?????

Help this crush is now an obsession - 20/??

i just dont understand how any human being with a single lick of sense could like, look at hamas and.... i mean, forget the people who stan them for some fucking insane reason, or treat them as freedom fighters for even more insane reasons, like, believe a single word they're saying? accept it? do literally anything but stand against them or condemn them? treat any of their actions as legitimate or emblematic of any goal that isnt destruction? i mean, they're not only terrorists. they're the most card carrying terrorists in history or at least one of them. they say shit like "we love death like our enemies love life" on live tv. if they were a fictional organization in a fictional story i would probably consider them too cartoonishly evil to take seriously and i would probably go 'okay nobody in the real world is actually like that, stop being an edgelord, writer' except they are. exactly like that. and i have to take them seriously because of the real thing they did in real life to real people. what version of reality do you live in that they say 'we tried to negotiate for hostage release and israel rejected' and you dont see how thats obviously bullshit. i swear to god that's like reading trump tweets and thinking 'hm maybe this guy has a point'.

writing to my representative trying to pretend this woman hasn't held office longer than i've been alive without taking a single action that represented me

I am once again thinking about motherfucking Tarrare

The more the days pass, the more I think I'm not fit to be a boss whatsoever.

I had a dream that I got my Magic Leap headset and then took it to a forest to create magical crystals and rainbows in the streams there and then I took it to the beach to decorate the sand with glowing shells and stars!!!!!!! and then woke up to realize I’ll soon be able to do these things FOR REAL!!!!!!!

i was just thinking the other day about how fucked up plant pheromone signaling is. like we talk about it like “oh, plant A is getting eaten so it holds up a sign saying PREPARE THYSELF and plants B, C, and D see that and go oh shit we better start making a chemical that makes us taste bitter so we don’t get eaten” but it’s more like. if the sweat we produced while running away from something that’s trying to eat us contained aerosolized cocaine, which makes anyone who smells it start running away as fast as they can in whatever direction they happen to be pointing, which hopefully is in the opposite direction of whatever’s trying to eat us

i think it should be required for every single usamerican within 100 miles of the coastline or the mexico-US border to learn spanish i can’t with this shit anymore

istg people dont know what narrative and foil even mean at this point
