ive heard people say “rich people have no taste” before or point out the sort of endless feedback loop of style/trend/-cores that people with a lot of money to spare seem to fall into and very rarely be the creators of, but never WHY that phenomena occurs other some vague idea of being “disingenuous” or not “real” enough

i think i can best explain it using dish soap. when someone has a lot of money there is less of a fear of not liking something. you can always just discard it and buy a replacement. with dish soap, if you dont like the smell or feel of it, or it doesnt clean your dishes, you can just buy a new one.

this means that those who have money can often carelessly explore new avenues without much risk. to them, a new dish soap or a brand new style that doesnt stick is easily discarded. but this means that it often is taken on without much consideration of the thing at hand - whether it makes sense, whether it actually suits your needs, whether you actually LIKE it.

when resources are limited, selecting something as simple as dish soap will mean people without money to spare consider things someone more affluent wouldnt default to - did a friend recommend this to them? do they like the smell of it? is it within their price range to buy not just this time, but next time as well? do they like it enough to use it the whole month? does it even work properly?

i think this is what results in the “rich people have no style” thing - not that someone having money means they are incapable of something like style, but when someone has to deeply consider the things they include in their life and the functional, accessible ways in which they can be included - that innovates, that creates something. it creates an intentionality, which is style.

and thoughtless consumption and shedding of dead skin is not… a style.

having a cat is so funny like 4 years ago before i had a cat someones would bite me and id be like “but why :(“ now as a cat owner i can interpret the different varieties of bite and when my cat did not bite me for 4 days i became physically sick with worry and he just gently bit my nose and i nearly wept

varities of Biting

soft bite on nose: i love you

less soft bite on nose: bitch

soft mouth bite and pulling my wrist/hand: come with me / keep petting me / i want you to stay

playbite on hand: we are wrestling

playbite on elbow/toes/calf: i am bored and you are not giving me attention

genuine painful bite: this has only happened once when i stepped on his tail and he meowed and licked it afterward. i think i just scared him and i felt so terrible and i dont think he meant it

my momdad tip for the day us if ur getting a snack put it in a rice bowl. rice bowls are perfect sizes and will prevent u from eating the whole bag in one sitting so u will have snacks for later. also u dont let ur pets eat out of their food bag bc they get lost in the fiendish delight of Snacks so u can use a bowl too. if u are still hungry dont deny urself more food it just means u might need a meal rather than just snacks

my snackbowl has cats on it

50k note tumblr post: i call my girl Cran cause she's Berries

tiktok voice overlay on top of a slideshow of popular tumblr posts: i call my girl Cran cause she's Berries

redbubble tshirt that somebody made of the tumblr post: i call my girl Cran cause she's Berries

screenshot on twitter that somebody captioned "who else misses tumblr": i call my girl Cran cause she's Berries

another tiktok but this time it's an influencer with 100k followers: i call my girl Cran cause she's Berries

that influencer on the jimmy kimmel show a month later: yeah jimmy it's hard to say where my inspiration comes from. i just... i think when i wrote the line "i call my girl Cran cause she's Berries" it was just sort of a spur-of-the-moment thing, but it turned out to be something that everyone can relate to, which is really heart-warming. it's one of those things that, like, reminds me that i can uplift people and be a voice for them. yeah i do have a new makeup line coming out, "Cran and Bloom," which was inspired by my now-famous tiktok

I have a friend who’s a fan of DnD actual plays, and y’know what else is group improv storytelling within the framework of a sandbox game? MC RP! So I chatted about the life series with her, she seemed interested, and I sent her a link to Grian’s 3rd life episode 1. Figured that would be a good starting point for someone new to both the series and mcyt as a whole.

She watched Grian’s entire third life series…then proceeded on to watch LL, DL, and LimL from JUST Grian’s POV. She’s planning to watch some other POVs now, of course, but I am. So fascinated by how that viewing experience has shaped her perspective of the other “player characters” in the game.

In particular, Etho. Guys she thinks he is SO scary! Just this looming villainous menace. “Killed Pizza, solo’d the wither,” the whole nine yards.

Which is WILD to me, ethogirl since chocolate island, who only branched out into the wider mcyt ecosystem relatively recently. It’s so neat to see my quick and clever trickster guy reframed as this stone-cold conniving mastermind.

She wants to watch all his POVs next, to see the mirror that culminates in the sword alliance and I just. Really love this medium of storytelling. Few things allow for such a varied viewer experience I wanna nerd out about it forever

Re: the scars wheelchair conversation: I believe scar himself has also mentioned he doesn’t mind being drawn with other forms of mobility. I’m not entirely sure on that, but he has actively stated he’s happy with any fanart even if it doesn’t include his wheelchair.

He’s laid his own personal boundaries, he only dislikes being drawn with his oxygen tubes. I personally am of the belief that yes, it would be nice to have more people draw or write Scar with a wheelchair, it’s also important that every form of disability and mobility should be made more common to see in media. Along with the fact that people can have more than one mobility aid, wheelchairs and canes and everything are all entirely valid.

I think truly the most important thing is Scar, a disabled content creator, is saying that he doesn’t mind how he’s drawn. He’s the person the fanart is for and of. Scars wheelchair is apart of him, but he doesn’t mind if people want to create art of him without it. And even though I do draw him with a wheelchair, I don’t appreciate that anons tone on the subject when Scar has actually said he doesn’t mind it at all.

TLDR; I would also like to see more content of Scar with his wheelchair, I feel like we should listen to the actual disabled creator when it comes to his opinion on how his fans draw him

nothing to add here but thanks for mentioning scar said he was okay with other mobility aids being drawn, though if anyone has a source that'd be cool too

Why is there AI generated images of foxes on iNaturalist 😬

How can a fake image be research grade!!!

The colours and markings of the fox are all wrong. It's supposed to be an arctic fox but it has the black face, ear and leg markings of a red fox (no arctic fox has marking like that). The fur is very blurry and lacking in detail in many areas. The snow on the ears and face makes no sense. The whiskers are weirdly shaped and detached from the face in areas. The back legs make no sense and are weirdly shaped and overall it just looks super fake.
