(guy posting from the pub voice) i think life might be worth living actually
the fact that pro-monarchy arguments have degenerated, over the past few centuries, from “the king rules by divine right and is accountable to nobody but god”, to “uhm the royals generate a lot of income from tourism” will never stop being extremely funny to me
the monarchs… bad. but the castles? oh, the castles are positively lush with rats… 👅

He was so badass in the movie Omg
Reading through the notes is a nightmare of people thinking that bad skin is a problem that didn't exist until the contemporary era, and not the obvious answer of IT'S A PAINTING. The subject and artist chose what to portray!!! Those people DEFINITELY had pimples, wrinkles, and worse, but they don't show up due to the magic of "this is an entirely human-created image that was being paid for and the artist would not receive payment if the subject did not look nice!"
As an addendum, photo editing has ALSO been around as long as photography, it just used different skills (such as painting on the negative). Portrait photography developed out of painting, so nobody thought twice about altering photographic portraits the same way they'd idealized paintings before. So those 19-inch waists on 1800s women? That wasn't from corsets, or women "just being thinner back then". It was Ye Old Photoshop (aka an artist in the darkroom painting around the waist to make it impossibly thin). They painted over pimples, wrinkles, moles, etc. too.
Humans have always been humans, with a wide range of appearances and proportions. Our artistic depictions of ourselves show what we *wished* to look like, not what we actually did.
Bernadette Banners has a great video talking about how Victorians faked tiny waists in photos.
being in your early 20s is crazy bc there’s people who are literally married and people who’ve never even dated and people who are trapped in their childhood bedrooms waiting to get out and people who are trying to live out romanticized dream lives and people who are completely on their own and people with multi tiered support systems and we’re all supposedly peers and none of us think we’re doing it right at all
I think about this cake every day
sorry for exposing your tags but this is hilarious
OP, I hope you don’t mind me making an addition:
When I turned 17, we ordered a cake at the grocery store for my party, as we’d done many times before. If you wanted something written on the cake you’d write it into a section of the order form. We requested, very simply, “Happy Birthday Courtney”. When we went to pick it up the day of the party, this is what we got.
The bakery employees had absolutely no explanation for this. The order form, attached to the box, very clearly did not contain any of those extra names. Whomever had done the writing was no longer in, so there was no one to ask how this had happened. The fact that the name ‘Juan’ is misspelled bewilders me to this day. (I’ve never seen ‘Miley’ without the E, either, but it’s believable that someone might spell it that way.) Did this cake slip in from an alternate universe where I’m one quarter of a set of Hispanic quadruplets? Dyslexic Hispanic quadruplets, maybe?
This cake became the focal point of my party. At least two of my friends regularly called me ‘Courtney Mily Jaun Pablo’ for years to come. My siblings and I still reference it sometimes, eleven years later. It is probably the funniest thing ever to occur at any birthday celebration of my life, and may well remain so for the rest of my days.
I love a botched cake.
“you‘re so quiet” baby i’m not even here. i’m fantasizing about a book i read weeks ago. move on.
Not a day goes by when I don't think about joe many liberals

Finally some useful research being done
Love not having a ”””fandom””” specific blog. Something new will just consume my mind and everyone has to accept it. My house
some time ago i introduced the phrase "food pact" to my friends as a shorthand for "i'll go make and eat food if you also make and eat food" and ever since then ive just started incorporating more pacts into my life. stay hydrated pact. stretch break pact. stop doomscrolling and go to bed pact. we need to bring this back in vogue more people should be making pacts imo
the best part of this is when you ask "who wants to do a shower pact" and you get a half dozen friends all rolling up saying "the pact is sealed". faustian behavior
ok!
It drives me insane how many people dont realise how often they break the law and that if the full force of it was ever applied life would basically be unliveable. Like between traffic violations, petty workplace theft, account sharing and piracy alongside how common it is to have been in posession of some illegal drug at some point in your life. People still manage to get away with thinking "criminals" are people who commit crimes not just populations that are surveilled enough to be routinely prosecuted
