Collecting books is great until you have to move all of them at once and realize that every one of the little bastards weighs about as much as a brick and collectively have the mass of a neutron star

how many times do we need to say it disability benefits aren't worth the effort of a scam
#way back when i was diagnosed the crohns nurse i was assigned came to tell me about applying for disability as it legitimately is one#I have truly never bothered based on the questions - and that was 20 years ago - they've only got stricter#I can manage like 95% of the time; it is not worth the humiliation ritual to prove that i'm disabled for the other 5%

never believe anyone who tells you that corsetry was Made To Oppress Women. They don't know anything about what we've lost. They don't know about Pockets
#corsetry#dress history#listen men H A T E D corsets and especially they hated crinolines#there's so many political cartoons from the Victorian era (and earlier!) making fun of these fashions as if they pushed men away on purpose#they were not a tool of oppression - the ridiculous extremes were literally just fashion fashioning#Corsets were revolutionary actually. Back support/boob support all in one. Don't judge all corsetry by the outliers of tightlacers#that's like judging modern day fashion solely on the met gala and Lady Gaga lmao

Something terrifying about the way censorship is just straight up happening right now and they're barely trying to pretend that isn't what it is. The UK rolling out the Online Safety Act which forces anyone accessing 'adult' content (including discord, LGBT+ forums, various resources for drug addicts etc.) to share their face and ID with American third party companies, and refusing to debate a repeal in parliament despite 300,000 signatures on their own website to do so. Something fishy going on with Google docs suddenly deleting/restricting content. Itchio and Steam suddenly deleting 18+ games including both porn games and horror games at the behest of Mastercard.
Like. Truly in the past month the censorship is hitting like a truck and we're all just supposed to be fine with it. Like. It's genuinely making me feel sick.
#don't forget the part where the government straight up said you must be a predator if you oppose the OSA#cos there's no other reason for concern at all huh? 2012 tumblr ass shut down response that is#Online Safety Act

Hello! I made a dress from scratch for the Renaissance Faire. It took me six months to make the chemise, hoop skirt, under skirt, over skirts, French knot embroidered bodice, crown and jewelry. I am very excited to wear it this year despite how serious I look in the photos!

nice pair of characters who trust each other more than anyone else in the whole entire world it would sure be a shame if one of them betrayed that trust for the sake of trying to keep the other alive. it would sure be a shame to love someone so much you destroy them

One of my favorite things about Terry Pratchett's books is their unique relationship with used bookstores. Particularly because they are difficult to find, for three reasons. The first reason is that they aren't there. Books in used bookstores were once owned by other people, people who decided to let that book go in the hopes that it will find someone new who will love it. It's very difficult to let go of a Terry Pratchett book. The second reason is that, if they make it into a store, they never stay there very long. They're usually purchased less than a few days after their arrival.
The third reason is my favorite: if they made it to the bookstore, and remained unnoticed, it's because the spine is worn. It's been read and loved so much it's almost unrecognizable from the spine. I've never found a used Terry Pratchett book without a cracked spine, and I love it. Cracked spines, stained pages, worn covers, these are the physical signs of love that we leave on our favorite books, and every Terry Pratchett book I've found in a used bookstore has been loved, dearly.
#for a while Discworld books were the most shoplifted books in Britain too#and Terry reportedly found that really funny#Discworld#GNU Terry Pratchett

My son has acquired a kitten for his sister through a friend at school. The kitten will be brought home next week.
Today he went to his friend's house and took a picture of the kitten.
...I have concerns about what we may have gotten ourselves into.
#cats#that really IS a creature!!#very tiny kittens are adorable - adult cats are lovely - the bit in the middle is actually a tiny velociraptor
