@ ppl in the notes: bao si's kingdom was attacked by king you and she was given to the king at age 13 as a peace offering to get him to stop warring with them. she was said to be very depressed all the time, probably because of the whole "forced to marry some guy who kept killing all your countrymen" thing.

king you offered money to people who could make her laugh and someone suggested the smoke signal thing. since she was a chinese concubine in the 8th centure BC, she probably wasn't even educated enough to know or care about the importance of smoke signals. she didn't give the order to continuously squander the warlord's forces for her amusement, it was king you. later when someone actually attacked the zhou kingdom and the warlords didn't respond because of the whole "boy who cried wolf" thing, bao si was kidnapped by some warlord and ended up hanging herself at 21.

a lot of ancient chinese historians studied the fall of various kingdoms and dynasties and instead of attributing it to poor economic circumstances or the irresponsible behaviours of people who were. you know. actually in charge, they instead point to the nearest woman and blame it on her. something about how the woman "was too attractive" and "distracted the king/emperor/lord/whatever." and how she, someone who was usually a young teen forced to entertain a middle aged man or be destitute/dead, should have "known better than to let her husband make bad political decisions." and anyway, i think in the current day, we should know better than to just take this at face value.

(in this case king you of zhou was only 3 years older than bao si. and the whole "trick and make fun of the guys who were supposed to protect your kingdom" thing sounds like what someone in his late teens/early twenties would do tbh. chinese history is full of simps but we only really hear about the simps that do something especially stupid while simping. and even then they blame it on the woman he was simping for as if she put a gun to this guy's head and forced him to simp.)

Actually, I think girls in middle school and high school should still feel comfortable having fuzzy pillows and lava lamps and glitter pens and sequin tops and a colorful wardrobe and whatever else they think is pretty or cool. Maybe we shouldn’t, like, try to beat the personality and life out of the youngsters, neither should we expect them to act like anything other than their actual age.

People wonder why kids are so obsessed with video games when I see grown adults telling *elementary schoolers* that they’re too old to play with dolls or play food or train sets, or that they’re being “ridiculous” for pretending to be animals or Frozen characters. I’ve met so many kids who are completely ashamed that they want to play with my toys when I offer because it’s for “babies” despite desperately wanting to.

found the artist's name in the notes and went looking because this slaps (it's called A Place Where I'll Dance) and its not even their best song. check this shit out:

So here are some fun facts about the teeny tiny termite-eating hyena who was deemed champion: the aardwolf!

Had a few folks interested in how I made the patches I posted for Solarpunk Aesthetic Week, so I thought I'd give y'all my step-by-step process for making hand-embroidered patches!

First, choose your fabric and draw on your design. You can use basically any fabric for this - for this project I'm using some felt I've had lying around in my stash for ages.

Next, choose your embroidery floss. For my patches I split my embroidery floss into two threads with 3 strands each, as pictured. You can use as many strands in your thread as you prefer, but for the main body of my patches I prefer 3 strands.

Next you're going to start filling your design using a back stitch.

First, put in a single stitch where you want your row to start.

Poke your needle up through the fabric 1 stitch-length away from your first stitch.

Poke your needle back down the same hole your last stitch went into so they line up end-to-end.

Repeat until you have a row of your desired length (usually the length of that colour section from one end to the other). Once you have your first row, you're going to do your next row slightly offset from your first row so that your stitches lay together in a brick pattern like this:

Make sure your rows of stitches are tight together, or you'll get gaps where the fabric shows through.

Rinse and repeat with rows of back stitch to fill in your patch design.

When you're almost to the end of your thread, poke your needle through to the back of the fabric and pull the thread under the back part of the stitching to tuck in the end. Don't worry if it looks messy - no one's gonna see the back anyway.

This next step is fully optional, but I think it makes the patch design really pop. Once your patch is filled in, you can use black embroidery floss to outline your design (or whatever colour you want to outline with - it's your patch, do what you want). I use the full thread (6 strands, not split) of embroidery floss to make a thicker outline.

I use the same back stitch I used to fill the piece to make an outline that adds some separation and detail. You could use most any 'outlining' stitch for this, but I just use back stitch because it's just easier for me to do.

Once you're finished embroidering your patch, it's time to cut it out!

Make sure to leave a little border around the edge to use for sewing your patch on your jacket/bag/blanket/whatever, and be careful not to accidentally cut through the stitches on the back of the patch.

If you have a sturdy enough fabric that isn't going to fray, you can just leave it like this. If not, I recommend using a whip stitch/satin stitch to seal in the exposed edges (I find that splitting your embroidery floss into 3-strand threads works best for this).

And then you're done! At this point you can put on iron-on backing if you want, or just sew it on whatever you wanna put it on. Making patches this way does take a long time, but I feel that the results are worth it.

Thanks for reading this tutorial! I hope it was helpful. If anyone makes patches using this method, I'd love to see them! 😁

GREAT tutorial on patches. sharing is caring, my friends.

Studies of my sister’s gromlin

if I was matt murdock and I found out the same chemical spill that blinded me and lit the world on “fire” turned a bunch of turtles into pizza loving ninjas I would lose it actually

I’m not going lie the thought of matt finding out he’s radioactive ooze brothers with this particular version of the tmnt has me in tears

matt, trying to recount his childhood and ignore the smell of turtle, three day old pizza, and sewer: …..so yah, after my dad died I was basically on my own.

the turtles, already planning on buying their radioactive waste brother a shirt that says “I fell in radioactive waste and all I got was these glasses”: cowabummer dude. our dad’s a rat

New painting!!!!

at least one superhero world should have a team that's entirely insect themed except one of them has plant powers and every time anyone asks how the plant one fits they all get mad and start infodumping. This would probably become their known weakness though
