the sun king did not pop his pussy this hard for the ungodly rich of the future to slap beige on everything and call it a day
The modern tendency of the very wealthy to attempt “tasteful” estates has annoyed me for a very long time. Bill Gates, you are a billionaire! Why the hell* did you have built for you a bland-as-fuck vaguely Craftsman-style mansion when you could have had a fuck-off gilt castle instead???
“Upper-middle-class, only bigger” is not an aesthetic to inspire to, fuckos.
Neither, by the way, is “expensive dental office”, so fuck all the way off with that minimalism crap.
*(Answer: because Bill Gates is so, so, so painfully basic that it hurts my soul. I mean, he’s the son of two prominent, staid Seattle-area individuals of the sort who played bridge–his dad actually played it with a friend’s mom–and did charity stuff. No need to be ostentatious when you’re not trying to prove anything to anyone.)
You know how sometimes, you have strong feelings about something absolutely stupid and ridiculous? Yeah. Umm. This is one of mine. Look, during my commute to the Evil Empire, you could look over to the right of bridge and glimpse the Gates house. I did this commute for YEARS. And every single damn time I crossed 520 and glanced over, all I could think is “YOU ARE NO WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST!”
Here, have a thing of beauty crafted for an obscenely wealthy man.
Did you guys know that the most recent version of sharks have fins that are kinda leg like and they like to walk up onto land?
no way i must have missed an update!
The Epaulette shark is only about 9 million years old as a species, making it the most recent branch in the shark family. And it is slowly but surely evolving into a land animal
LAND SHARK!
LAND SHARK!
WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN HE COMES FOR YOU?!?!

Pattern test for Sew Fresh Quilts. My Darling Catholes (my name for it). I had a lot of fun making this one. Background is origami cats!
The striped one is my favorite 💕
hello we live in a world where someone out there is making patterns for cat butthole quilts and my mother is testing the pattern by actually making the cat butthole quilt. and posting it on tumblr. which I suppose is where this quilt belongs, really.

All the tags going "I don't get it" tells me of either when they arrived here or that they've stayed away from the firehose of sacred texts
"I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow; but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.” Agatha Christie

The Barbie movie looks good.
when a film or tv show takes place somewhere where you have been, it is your sacred duty as viewer to say “i’ve been there” every time you recognize a place
When a film or TV show claims to take place somewhere but you been there and it is your sacred duty as a view to say “no the hell that is not there.”
When a film or TV show takes place somewhere you've been but with no regard for the actual street layout of the place, it is your sacred duty as a viewer to say, "That street doesn't connect there!"
Sometimes you read a fic where the author is clearly and intentionally writing dead dove content like:
These garbage boys are going to torture and gaslight each other until they’re inextricably intertwined 😈 they are going to make each other the most fucked-up and worst versions of themselves 🔪 they will be so codependent and broken they will never be able to be with anyone else after ☠️
And, like, this is probably written by a pretty normal, well-adjusted person. Genuinely. The dove is dead but the author knows that the dove is dead because they killed the dove. On purpose. Gleefully. They were like “wouldn’t it be fucked up if…” and then wrote the if.
But then sometimes you read a fic where the author is like:
uwu these soft boys are soooo cute and in love 🥰 they’re so sweet and pure and good 💕 I just want them to be cutesy-wutesy and in lurveeee forever 😍 this is my new fic about soft boys being soft 💋 this is the height of romance 😘
And then the fic is. Not. The relationship is THE must fucked up, manipulative, passive-aggressive shit show where both characters are being awful to each other, but in the most socially-acceptable heteronormative way where you could 100% picture a friend of a friend telling you this bizarre story at a party while you’re sitting there like wow 😬 straight people are wild who acts like that?
I don’t read fics like that often, but whenever I do I’m always like................... 👀 you good? You doing okay? You seem to think this kind of behavior is, uh. Normal. And, uh, romantic? But these characters certainly seem to hate each other. Not in the narrative, in the narrative they’re super in love somehow but uhhh. Um. You good?
There is such a chasm between people writing something fucked up on purpose vs someone writing something fucked up on accident. And the latter is where things are not tagged properly, and they’re infinitely more disturbing imo.
Elderly women are an extremely important demographic for feminism. If a woman cannot be childless and then live comfortably taken care of in her old age, then there is still coercive incentive for children. Social security and elderly womens programs are very important.

someone: hey I noticed this thing you did in your writing!
me, kicking my feet up flirtatiously: oh??? do you want to hear my thoughts on why I did that? do you want a play-by-play of the language choices in every related sentence? do you want an exhaustive breakdown of The Themes???
I find there is a 50/50 chance of this situation being:
a) Wow, I'm really glad you noticed that! I spent ages considering the implications and how it ties into the themes. Please let me talk to you for three hours straight about my thought process.
or
b) Erm... that thing... yeah... that was definitely a deliberate thing... I absolutely meant for that thing to be there honest
