Val. 21. ND. He/they/vae.

Hello! We are the Nightshade System!

The collective name we have is Valentine (Valen or Val for short)! He/they/vae is preferred, but star/void are also accepted and enjoyed. I am bi aroace-spec and nonbinary :)

There are so many people out there walking around in suit jackets thinking they've got false pockets, when actually they're real pockets that are just basted shut so they don't sag in shipping, and nobody ever told them :(

also i beg yall to cut open the slit in the back of your suit jacket/coat pleasuhh

people on tumblr love adding "this is the funniest comment ive ever read" "every part of this image hits like a truck" "okay but can we talk about (lists all the things that make a joke funny)" in the comments. why dont you keep your voice down and let the posts wash over you in blissful silence

Given my subject of the day, I'd be curious to hear what all you have to say about the Bohemian Club, and the Cremation of Care ritual in particular.

It's a leftover from the early 20th century when the hip thing for rich people to do was "Join a knockoff freemason lodge" because it was a hobby that came with a significant degree of exclusivity and conspicuous consumption.

A lot of the pageantry around these sorta groups was LITERALLY pageantry. As in, a popular thing for them do was hold beauty pageants. Looking back on the ritual aspect of these sorta events, they are -and I say this as a bisexual trans person- faggy as all hell, but in a lame rich straight people kinda way. It's like if you took the idea of Camp and then applied it to the sort of people who take etiquette classes.

Thats how the Cremation of Care reads to me. It's just fucking tacky and precious. Real Americans just chug a 40 and do donuts in a parking lot if they want to unwind.

No it's exactly the Veiled Prophet shit. Like this is what happens when you don't let cool broke trannies into your secret societies. Everything just becomes lame.

I worked in a service industry that catered directly to rich people like that for a while, and tbh that's just what they're like. Past a certain level of wealth, even nice rich people don't act normal.

The wife of a famous billionaire once asked if she could, and I quote "Hire me for the day" like as a servant. I told her no, because I was on the clock until 5.

twitter is implementing some draconian ass rules. you’re no longer allowed to promote most social medias on there, and can be banned/deleted for having done so in the past

twitter is digging it’s own grave straight into an antitrust lawsuit tbh

you can’t add the banned sites to your bio on twitter anymore, this is what it says

and you can no longer DM links to those sites

This is the opposite of those “oddly satisfying images”

it’s funny and all but it’s also an example of how corporations will cheat people in every single possible way they are legally able to get away with if there isn’t any system of regulation to protect consumers.
