Anyone else feel like it’s been one of those days since 2019?

Hey, if you did work over the past few weeks to try to stop the GOP's obscene and murderous budget: thanks. It ended up without the AI regulation ban, the trans healthcare ban, the western lands sell off, and without its stupid name being official.

It passing was a major loss for everyone in this country including the very wealthy and other people who believe they will be able to be better off from it.

But also, it passing was not as bad as it could have been and it took the ongoing effort of huge amounts of people to even make that a possibility, so if you were part of that, from the bottom of my heart: Thank you.

You have just been magically transported into a random ao3 fic!

Spin the wheel of ao3 tags three times to find out what your fic is about. Put in the tags what your fic tags are!

Art tip: gesso your fabric before painting on it

Art tip: if you dilute your gesso with water and paint an entire hat it will take a whole ass 24 hours to dry

Art tip: paint more hats

its crazy that a lot of what we call 'video essays' these days are basically low budget documentaries on increasingly weird and niche topics. no network approval no tv budget just one guy with maybe a hired editor/writer and a couple of friends willing to read voice lines. and then they put it on youtube like its no big deal. insane.

"We're living through the ongoing fascist collapse of the United States but I still gotta clean the kitchen and go to work tomorrow" sure is the mood right now, huh.

I think its a mix of cultural shift and people bad at communicating. I've seen way too many people expect their partners to "just know" things about them. So I can see how someone with that mindset can expect exclusivity without actually having that talk.

But yeah, my folks also told me that it's normal to go on multiple dates with different people before settling down. Though there was the caveat that you were expect to have the exclusively talk around the time sex started getting involved.

Maybe the shift started happening around the tine of the sexual revolution? Combo of slut shaming and bad communications?? History side of tumblr could probably explain it better

Are we doing confessions? Here’s one

For so long I thought “dating” meant it was fine to go on dates with multiple different people at different times, because I thought the goal was “narrowing it down,” with a possible end goal of “going steady.”

I remember the first time it was a plot point in a show I was watching when a character found out a woman he was dating went on a date with someone else and he was big mad

I was so baffled by this, everything I thought I knew about dating was wrong

Yet only like two years ago did I actually realize that I’m poly

This was sent at the time of the big confessional wave, I think, and just got buried. 🤷sorry

This is something I fully relate to even though I never experienced it. It just makes so much sense to me and I could see how if my early life were just sliiiiiiightly different I could have reached the same conclusions. This is a certified PolyamorousMood™️

on that note, I'll confess that I don't own a vacuum. Lived here for years, floors completed unvacuumed.

reminder that "allies welcome" was once secret code for "those not out yet can still participate without putting themselves at risk", and for those who aren't out yet to comfortably exist in these spaces you have to let allies exist in those spaces too.
