“I’m wearing an 80s Issey Miyake jacket, a 1996 Gaultier goat tee (yay), Fendi sneakers, Gucci glasses, and carrying a Balenciaga leather tote. I love fashion so much—it’s so intimate; art that touches the body. Right now, I’ve been swinging into big swooping outerwear and sparkly tops of various kinds. Feeling my age, and feeling the season turn to spring.”

Thinking of christopher eccleston on this trying day 🙏🏻
Softly filtered dead wife in movie montage but of the sandwich I had one time and can't stop thinking about
What she says: im fine
What she means: the average age of conception over the past 250k years is apparently 26.9. Let's round it down to 25. Think of your birth mother. Hold her hand. Imagine her holding hands with her mother. Within 4 people, you're back in time 100 years, and it's an intimate family dinner. Just after WWI. Add another 16 people, a small party of 20, and you're in the 1500s. Double it, twice, and you're at 80 people. Your family would fill a restaurant, and you're at the height of the Roman empire. At 100 people, Confucius is alive but Socrates has not yet been born. 100 people. That's a medium sized wedding. A small lecture theatre or concert. 200 people, probably the biggest party i could ever hope to host, takes you back 5000 years. The guests at your soirée of parents would be contemporaries of the Egyptian and Indus Valley civilisations, although you'd probably be too busy fixing drinks and nibbles to talk to all of them. Just imagine it. 200 of you. That's all it takes to get back 5,000 years. And we could go further. 1000 people, a decent sized concert, a large high school, and we're at the end of the last ice age. Your ancestors are comparing their pink floyd vinyl with music played on instruments carved from wood or bones of long vanished species. Wander through the crowd. See your own features and phrases and gestures refract out like a kaleidoscope. What would they make of you? What do you make of them? Why does it feel so unfair that even that first 100 years --that small family dinner of four--is out of your grasp? Maybe it's because questions of spatial distance have become negligible to us now. why, oh why, does time hold out against us so stubbornly
walked across the street today and there was a huge l pothole. really deep. like something had eaten through the entire street. at the bottom was brick road. did they just pave right over it?

btw what are some things you guys are proud of achieving in 2022? i'll start i'm really proud of myself for finishing my degree, getting a cool new job and a new place to live :-)
THE advantage of memorizing poetry is that when somethings happening, maybe even you’re in a situation or a location, you can just go “ok. lady of shallott time” and boom. you reclaimed your mental space and attention for YOU for the next ten minutes
Everyone should be able to do one card trick, tell two jokes, and recite three poems, in case they are ever trapped in an elevator.

the student loan forgiveness application site just went live btw
what's your most niche skill? like a thing you can do that almost never comes in handy, but every so often, in highly specific circumstances, is useful to you? mine's cooking a fairly involved dinner in a standard hotel room.
everyone is cordially invited to check the notes on this one and mentally assemble their own tiny skills x-men team, btw. it's a good time.
people on the subway train are alwaus looking at their phones well we should look to eachother and build a community that lives on trains and be like a siphonophore that uses the train as a shell . and float through the pelagic zone and share the seas nutrients such as small fish and crustaceans among our linked bodies
So I'm halfway through Gideon the Ninth and how come nobody has told me about Dulcinea?? She's so good, you'd think people would go bonkers over her
Ah.
Ngl ive had Gideon the ninth in my to read pile on my kindle app for months and this post is what inspired me to finally open it now
Ah, I see.
......well now I'm curious.
its important to note with the queens death, a lot of shit things have been reversed after complaints.
center parcs are letting guests stay after people complained. at least on of the food banks has backtracked on saying it will close. there's national pushback against the protest arrests and the met police have released a statement saying protest is allowed and officers will be told this.
so don't stop pushing back against this shit. don't stop telling them that this is bullshit and we won't let it stand.
and also remember that community and mutual aid are one of the most important ways to support each other in times of crisis as we sink deeper into the tory cost of living hellscape.

Pride bees are finally here! 🐝 I’ve had a lot of fun making these patterns, I hope you all enjoy these little bees as much as I do
You can get all 80 pattern tiles and more wallpapers than I want to count for free (though, if you’d like to help support a small queer creator tips would be super appriciated!) from my kofi shop: https://ko-fi.com/s/6cdc057c16
And you can help choose which future combo packs I do here: https://forms.gle/n5ndWbJ2c1egqUot9
I worked really hard on making these as something fun to celebrate pride (and puns) so a reblog or otherwise sharing these would mean the world to me.
[ID: graphic with bees with pride flag stripes on them, interspersed with hearts and daisies. Text reads BEE PROUD, Free To Use, Repeat Pattern + Phone Wallpaper Set. The Pride Flags Featured section shows that the set includes the orange-pink lesbian flag and the gay men's, bi, trans, nonbinary, genderqueer, rainbow, aromantic, asexual, genderfluid, pan, agender, polysexual, and Gilbert Baker flags.

keeping my eye out for the most up-to-date size-inclusive guidelines for pregnancy prevention & termination (pls add on if you have resources), but here’s a quick rundown from a wonderful HAES physician & fat activist:
As the conversation about abortion swirls, it’s a good time to remind ourselves and our patients that plan B is less effective in patients over 155lbs (?!).
The best advice for patients of size until better products are available is to:
- take 2 if you have them.
- take 1 as soon as possible if you don’t have two
- Ella is effective up to a BMI of 30, less effective up to 35. It also can be used with no decreased effectiveness up to day 5.
- Copper IUDs are the most effective post coital contraceptive
- ocps are also less effective in fat patients and may not provide as good endometrial or pregnancy protection
- Progesterone IUDs should be strongly considered in patients of size who want to prevent pregnancy or need endometrial protection, especially if they live or study in abortion restricted states.
- I don’t know the weight significance for abortion pills- looking into it.
I love it so much when cartoon villains are like, "horrid greetings, your vile wretchedness," or "foul morning," "disgusting evening," "wicked nightmares," "sleep abominably, and bite the bed-bugs back" instead of normal salutations
