Not That I Think It's Particularly Likely Anyone Will Want To...

People who want to be awful are going to be awful.

What they read/watch/listen to/play might affect what flavor of awful they end up being, but not the basic state of awfulness.

"fiction affects reality" wrong "fiction doesn't affect reality" wrong

The decision to emulate or not emulate what we see in fiction is on the audience. It's YOUR responsibility to KNOW better like a reasonable ADULT.

Abusive people are going to be abusive regardless of what total strangers are writing on Tumblr. Because being an abusive person is an active series of decisions that you make. You don't get to blame murder on Satanism and metal music in goddamn 2025

I walked past some lilac bushes on my way to lunch today and the smell brought me so much joy. I almost forget, from one spring to the next, how much I love it.

I'm thinking about getting some lilac scented stuff, but it needs to be as realistic as possible.

Anyone have any recommendations?

I'm going to start calling Agatha's little clanks her clinks

Current knitting: a simple garter stitch scarf, using fuzzy yarn from Dollar Tree. I'm working in random colors, with two strands together. The goal is warmth and softness rather than beauty.

Current reading: "Area X" by Jeff Vandermeer. This is the omnibus edition of the Southern Reach trilogy. I finished the first book, and honestly, I'm not sure I'd keep going if the second book wasn't in the same volume. It's not bad, but it's a very different writing style than I usually read.

I get so frustrated with myself sometimes. I have THOUGHTS about a serious topic, but when I try to express them, they never make as much sense to other people as they did in my head.

I need to show this to my kid

😂❤️

Too late for me. Now I'm praying the embroidery hyperfixation comes back in time for me to finish this set of Christmas ornaments before next Christmas.

hyperfixation please stay with me long enough to complete the project. hyperfixation do not fade. hyperfixation finish what you started for the love of god

Congratulations, you are now a nest

If you don't have a person handy to do this to, try going to YouTube and searching for "[your favorite piece of media] reaction".

It's really easy to find folks reacting to music, and there are also some folks who do reaction videos for movies, games and shows.

You can never experience watching your favourite show for the first time again, but you CAN convince someone else to watch your favourite show and vicariously enjoy all their raw reactions to seeing it for the first time, which is honestly nearly as good.

My absolute favorite outfit from the 2025 Met Gala, because of its sheer cleverness.
