Everyone shut up and look at this carving of a whale from the 1200-600 CE Chumash culture

(gripping the skink with both hands, pale and feverish, sweating and shaking as I look at myself in the mirror) “killing a character is a valid writing choice that can be a crucial plot mechanic and lend beauty and depth to the story as a whole” (wretches up blood into the sink) “even when it’s my favorite character”

I get to be more free as an adult than I ever did as a child and I think more kids need to know that. as a high schooler part of what made my depression so bad was being told over and over again that it was the most carefree time of my life. while I was trapped in an abusive home + amongst bullies at school + in a body that wasn’t right for me. opportunities to be carefree don’t end when you turn 18. you can be more you than ever as an adult and that’s such a gift. I know ‘it can get better’ is an annoying thing to see over and over when you’re as trapped as I was back then. and I know that if you’re still a kid you deserve to be free right this second. but it can and will get better and this is not where life stops being interesting. promise

Apparently there was some kind of race scheduled at a local park or something so I've been trying to avoid the main trail but a little while ago when I had to cross near it I overheard the following shouted exchange

Higher feminine voice: woo, look at you go! You're jogging! Keep it up!

Lower masculine voice (panting): you know it! Last place is still a place, baby!

And goddamn if that didn't rewire my brain a little bit.

Last place is still a place, baby.

I think more historical fantasies and alt histories that have gay marriage be allowed should mess around with the societal implications of this. If your aristocracy allows gay marriage, why? As a release valve for inheritance problems, like monasticism was in parts of medieval Europe? As a way of removing your failchild from the line of succession by legally binding them to the failchild of your political ally, ensuring any offspring they both have will be illegitimate? How about a society where the lower classes are allowed to be gay but the nobility aren’t? Idk there’s just a lot of options that are more interesting than “homophobia just doesn’t real”

I think fishblr will appreciate this 1940s cod liver oil bottle I found at an estate sale yesterday.

Anna Valerious & The Brides of Dracula

I will forever think of that amazing transformation of their dresses into the bat wings

my observation living in the twin cities for a few years now is that people from saint paul hate driving in minneapolis because everyone there drives like they are absolutely certain they will respawn when they die and people from minneapolis hate driving in saint paul because the streets are a confusing mess of one-ways forcing them to un-hotbox their car enough to see their gps app

they should not put ads on the dog tv (eight hours of birds) i put on for my dog to watch. she doesn't understand capitalism. she doesn't even understand that the birds aren't really there in the room with her. sometimes she tries to bite the ipad when a really funky one shows up. you can't advertise to her. she's not going to buy a swiffer wet jet
