Calvin and Hobbes - It’s July Already
Quick reminder that July is disability pride month. Not “gay wrath month”.
When ableism is a massive issue in the queer community and most pride events aren’t accessible maybe y’all should. Idk. Try a bit fucking harder to educate urselves this July.
these posts have the same vibes imo 💯
and this tweet as well
this also
Just so you know, whenever we invent yet another fake fandom character, they inadvertently blink into existence, ill-formed and meaningless, only to be trapped within the hellish liminal space created by the zeitgeist of our collective consciousness.

chronic pain is weird because sometimes in your head you’re like AAAAAAAAAHH!!!! AAAAAAAGGGGHHH!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAhhh!!!! but in actuality you are just sitting there staring impassively at your phone

So I had to get nosy and do some research because It's never occurred to me that this kind of effect was possible in the 19th century (upon reading the origins I was like "Oh Shit That's what that is??").
Fabric is made up of basically two parts while being woven, weft (which goes side to side), and warp (which goes up and down).
This dress is made of Shot Silk, so named because of how the weft bobbin of a different color is "shot through" the warp color while the fabric is being woven. The silk in the original post is probably "Dove silk", made of turquoise and magenta fibers which makes that striking iridescent grey color. It was popular all throughout the 18th century, especially in French fashions, and gained a popularity during the American Civil War (cotton production was disrupted and yielding smaller crops as the enslaved peoples involved with production of cotton were dealing with bigger fish to fry, like seeking freedom from slavery and trying not to die).
You might be more familiar with its use in cosplay spaces, specifically with One Disney Princess In Particular
This fabric has so much potential in modern garment making, and I'm so shocked no one else has latched onto it for period pieces. Especially when we have documents suggesting that this technique has existed in Noble and Clergy circles since THE 700'S
Shot silk! What a concept!
yes! shot silk/changeable silk is so pretty. I see it fairly often in late 50s/early 60s party dresses, usually in really intense green/blue but sometimes in pink/orange or blue/purple.
This is what my university uses for the stoles of graduation gowns. Arts get blue-green, engineering gets red-orange, and science gets yellow-vomit
Also, shot silks had a great popularity during the late 1840's to 1850's. Of course shot silk was used before and after, but I focus more on Victorian era clothing.
if tumblr ever starts forcing us to censor kill and die and murder and fuck and cunt and fag i’m deleting my account and starting an email chain with the mutuals
Wait I just thought about it and it might be cute to bring back wholesome church camp swear-swaps like frick,heck, jeez, mothertrucker. Sometimes the way ppl post we might need a lil. Swear jar,,
absolutely fucking not.
I still use "heck" depending on the context. "Heckin cute" just sounds more wholesome than "Fucking cute". It's all in the tone.
Also it's sometimes so much funnier to use non swears.
I still think about that scene from Night In The Woods where (spoilers) Mae has a near death experience and a mascot shark in the darkness says "You've been Danged to Heck" and laugh about it.
You're all missing the point luvs 💚 peace and love
"No guys don't worry getting censored is like, soooooo fun we can have sleepover activities like making up words that are less impactful to not upset advertisers " SHUT the fuck up please

The best visual gag in any piece of media was the giant vault door concealing a normal-sized door in Portal 2
Actually the best joke of all time period was also in Portal 2 and it’s when Glados says “Well, this is the part where he kills us” and Wheatley follows up “Hello, this is the part where I kill you!” and the chapter card pops up reading “Chapter 9: The Part Where He Kills You” and then you unlock the achievement “The part where he kills you” and the achievement description reads “This is that part.”

Portal 2 is a fucking masterpiece for hundreds of reasons

A fun update to the ongoing Reddit meltdown: r/femalefashionadvice has, after polling their users, reopened to only accept posts about 18th century fashion.
See, THIS is why Reddit refugees were welcomed with open arms.
I mean seriously. Twitter refugees came here with "UGH! Thid id what we've been reduced to!" attitudes despite them stealing from us for years. Reddit folks are like lost lambs.

Anonymous asked:
What is DDOSing? And i guess why is it bad that it's how Twitter is stopping people from using it?
'DOS' stands for Denial of Service. It's an attack where a malicious actor uses one machine to repeatedly make requests of an online service in order to tie up its resources and degrade its service.
'DDOS' means Distributed Denial of Service. It's the same thing except the attacker uses multiple machines or at least multiple clients, usually distributed across multiple locations, to do the same thing except now it's harder to shut out the attacker. It's also usually much higher volume of requests so the scale is bigger.
Basically what happened is Twitter rate limited users from reading too many tweets. However they didn't change their own client (the website or app) to account for this, so the twitter clients kept getting errors and automatically retrying. They DDOSed themselves because their own client was repeatedly making requests that were being blocked for rate limiting. And whenever the client received a rate limit error they would retry the same request again and again and again. Their own users were doing this without being aware and not at any fault of their own. All they had to do is just go to twitter.
it's so hard to come up with an analogy to describe this without technical terms. try to picture it like this:
twitter is a restaurant. the customers sit down and order. after a little while the waiters come back to the customers and say "your order's gonna be a while, the kitchen is busy" and you go "okay? fine."
then the waiters go back to the kitchen and keep re-submitting the order to the cooks hoping at this moment the kitchen isnt too busy. and every time to cooks have to stop what they're doing and shout "we can't take that order right now!" the waiter then just re-submits the order again a few seconds later. and again, the cooks stop what they're doing and shout "we can't take that order right now!" so in response the waiter submits the order again and... repeat indefinitely
meanwhile you're just at your table unaware whats even happening or that your waiter is repeatedly re-submitting your order causing chaos. you're just sitting and waiting for your food. most of the other diners are experiencing the same thing. and their waiters are also submitting orders again and again.
once in a while you see some other diner recieve their order. there's smoke coming out of the kitchen and whenever the door to the back opens you can hear the cooks and the waiters shouting at each other
and this is how the restaurant was designed to operate
