I don’t care if you make fun of Catholicism as long as it’s accurate! The best humour has its roots in the truth.

A minor stress of yarncrafts which I don't see discussed much:

There is a small tangle in your yarn. Topologically you know it must be a slipknot; if you give it a good firm tug, it should come undone.

Just how much force are you willing to stake on that?

social media relativity within the average 10k+ note post on this site: a new theory i’ve been working on

Someone at an old job asked why I wanted to write up the meeting minutes for our team and I said 'i wanna control the narrative' and they were like 'what' and I pointed out that no one was gonna remember what we said in six months and so my interpretation of the meeting would dictate the assumed reality of what happened

"none of you ever send corrections when I offer the draft so y'all have consented to my version"

"we don't read that shit"

"you must trust me implicitly to create our shared reality that's so sweet"

That's how several coworkers decided I was a supervillain and how I learned several coworkers didn't understand record keeping as like a CONCEPT

Knowing a fic author through AO3 is like attending someone’s thesis presentation and politely clapping at the end, knowing a fic author through this hellsite is like going over to their house at 3AM to watch them eat mayonnaise out of a jar

Marlon Wayans on the Snoop Dog homophobic comments on children's films

"I'm tired of defending this ni**a. I defended him on his criminal sh*t, the Gayle King situation, and I took heat for defending him online when he performed for Trump, but this crosses the line. Sooner or later you just realize someone has issues. There ain't no Hollywood agenda to turn kids gay. That's the dumbest sh*t I've ever heard. Disney characters lie, steal, cheat, kill, poison, and everything and don't nobody say it's an agenda to turn their kids into a piece of sh*t. I watched Snow White when I was a kid and I ain't gave a b*tch a poison apple yet. But as soon as a gay character pop up, its an agenda. The agenda is to make your kids empathetic , not gay. White people acted the same way when black people started being seen on tv." -Marlon Wayans

Hey if you ever worry that your art is too self-indulgent and weird, consider the following:

You know Franciso de Goya? Yeah that Goya. The one who painted "saturn devouring his son" and the other 13 of what are called his "black paintings", which are dark, creepy, and while you might not know all the other ones, if you only vaguely recognise the name Goya, the first image to pop into your head is probably this one:

Unless you've got an art history degree. This post isn't aimed at people with an art history degree. Anyway, those of you who aren't into art history probably only vaguely know the story, of how he was a painter and these 14 were his private paintings, only painted for himself, not commissioned by a customer and never intended to be publicly displayed. People were shocked when they were first discovered, due to how starkly different they were from his other, more traditional and conventional paintings.

This is the part I want you to meditate on: Goya also made plenty of normal art for normal people. A whole bunch of perfectly normal paintings.

How many of those can you name?
