in united states public school we learn about the american revolution and the first three presidents (minus the fact that they had slaves and abused their families bc how dare we portray them as anything but heroes on a pedastal) every year from when we're 8 to when we're 14, we have one year for generalized world history and if you're lucky one year to learn about a very white-centric view of pre-1700's north america and prehistory

Doesn't that get a bit boring? Now I'm thinking about it tho I think I'd say 95% of my history classes would have been modern history basically anything from the industrial revolution onwards like the world wars, the Russian revolution followed by the cold war including modules on the Vietnam war and Korean war, and then obviously American civil rights movement, the Irish famine, Irish war of independence, irish civil war and finally a lot about the troubles - in fact I think the only two times I can remember learning about anything older is in primary we learnt about ancient Egypt and in first year of secondary we learnt about the native Americans

TRAs talking about how history will judge us poorly reminds me of that quote “isn’t it an amazing coincidence that the good guys won every war?”

#the winners write history #maybe trans rights will triumph over women’s rights #but that doesn’t mean TRAs are the good guys #power isn’t synonymous with moral righteousness #trans rights #activists #vs #women’s rights #activists isn’t quite the same as a war that wipes out a country #because they still need women to create more transgender people #and despite what #francis fukuyama #said in #the 90s #there is no end of history #the end of history happens when the last human dies #the only constant is change #so yeah in 100 years maybe people will think sex was a social construct #and that men can turn into women with simply a declaration #but then in 200 years people will know #that you can’t change sex #and that women need single sex spaces #who knows #no one can predict the future #politics #feminism #radical feminism #transgender #musings

My Top 100 Ships (#42: China/Skulduggery)

Source: Skulduggery Pleasant

When Did I Start Shipping Them? Oh, it's hard to say! I always knew they had chemistry but I wasn't a multishipper when I first got into this fandom, which was my first fandom I ever actually participated in. I reread the books in grade 12 and again in 2019, and both times I was like 'holy shit China should have the whole world' and that means Skulduggery I think.

Why Do I Ship Them? They're both terrible. It's a great match. They're both so loved and hated by their community in equal measure. They're literally the detective/femme fatale archetype and they CHOSE that aesthetic after several centuries of knowing each other and I think that says a lot about both of them.

Favourite Fanfiction Tropes/Staples? I was going to say there's not many fics for them but apparently like forty have been written in the last five years (before that there were only 19 on ao3) so I guess I'll have to get back to you once I read those, I hadn't checked since my last reread of the series!!!

#skulduggery pleasant #chinduggery #this is not the last you'll see of this fandom #i do have many other ships that would be in a top 200 ships list #but there's only one ship that REALLY matters for me and it's deep in my fandom history #my moodboards #my 100 ships #does my skulduggery mutual already follow this blog #i love you person who follows every blog that posts in the skulduggery tag #we've been moots on like 3 blogs over the years and i value you so much #i have only talked to you once

I wish I could take better pics of myself bc broooo my tits&shoulders already look amazing with 2(two!!) weeks at the gym I'm not even going that hard just like an hour a day with 2-3 rest days a week

#it speaks #gym talk #im already up in the 50s-70s in the arm machines i started out in the 30s on #going to platue for a while once i hit the 100s and work on just increasing rep count #(alot of what im doing is 2 sets of 10-20 reps for weight)#i should be at that by the middle of may and ill hold there till the middle of june i think then start bumping up hopefully 20 lbs a week #as long as i can keep a high rep count. 2 sets of 50 minimum i think #my bench goal is 200 by new years which i feel is pretty feasible #more than feasible if im honest im aiming low so i hit it fast and get excited about it #my other goal is a 15 minute 5k on the rower. which is also feasible considering i did a 22 minute 5k last week

I am so glad I decided to avoid manhwa/manhua after getting back into reading manga online last year. There is literally way too fucking many and I get massive FOMO so it makes it so incredibly overwhelming.

I already have dozens of tabs open of manga to get to, I cant have another several dozen shojosei isekai rebirth revenge and k-drama romances

#desiree talks #i already dont like action bc its boring #i had a bunch of ns/fw josei manga and a ton of BL tabs open like 2 years ago #and ive been avoiding that #i like a good revenge or ‘fixing past mistakes to make lives better’ regen shojosei manhwa but im avoid that too #and the het romances bc at a point they all blend together #and you just hope to god that it’s executed beter than the last #otherwise WHAT IS THE POINT #i’ve been reading some more horror spooky stuff #which isnt common for manhwa #some b/c-grade stuff is fun just to see wtf happens #i have some shoujo i’d like to read at some point #some slice of life dealing with grief (chichikogusa is really good)#some semi-educational slice of life ; supernatural etc #i’m over 60 series so far this year #last year from may to dec was a little over 100 #so im really hoping to hit like 200 at the end of the year #and actually make a dent in my to-read tabs i already have open

My student refund and paycheck deposited and uh. I have more money at this point in time than I've ever had to my name.

Just. Kinda stunned to see that amount of money in my bank account. For once. I can't go wild or anything lol bc that would still tear through it but I don't have to worry about bills as long as I don't spend from the account dedicated to it. That's. Fucking WILD.

#it's $3153 which isnt a ton but like. to me that IS a ton.#I've never had $3000 to my name before. and about $725-50ish??? is bills #but $1800 is set aside as savinga for the hotel room at dragoncon rn (which doubles as a big emergency fund)#and $400 for emergency funds. i have 200 something in my “spendinf” account and im debating putting another $100 into that savings. unsure.#i might not tho #bc gas is like $25ish per fill up usually and i have to do that at least twice a week usually #so i need to leave that alone probably #assistant managwr pay is Wild apparently and lowkey this is on the low end #like my hours since this paycheck have been a lot higher and like. we had a solid weekend for once so uh.#lowkey wouldnt be surprised if my next paycheck is over $1000 after taxes.#which would be insane. even seejnf my last paycheck was surreal bc its the second or third time in almost 3 years ive made that much on ONE.#for that to become a Regular thing or even just $900+ every time is honestly going to relieve so much stress.#if its over $1000 consistently i might be able to afford rent. not somewhere thats the nicest but. still.#the possibility is a lot closer than it used to be. I'm just. uh.

Finally finished the book I’ve been trudging through for over a year!!!

#I do not dnf books especially since I was like over halfway through it #I had seen this book while working at the store in 2019 and thought it sounded interesting #got it for Christmas that year didn’t have time to get around to until last summer #I have a basic understanding of how music works and whatnot but this was just so dense and boring #the book could’ve been 100-200 (maybe even more) pages shorter if the interlude things weren’t included #I just felt like he rambled on so so much and like clearly the editors got tired because there are a handful of errors throughout out it #I think my favorite error is referring to ‘You Belong With Me’ as ‘You Belong To Me’ in the glossary #like he also mentioned Pandora a lot because he helped create stuff for it and it was like we get you think pandora is great #anyway going to do a poll to help me decide what to read next!

record scratch moment. hold the phone. during what period of time was scara in the abyss. also why. what were the fatui doing stationing one of their harbingers there… what was being Planned…

#x #gi posting #within the last… i wanna say 200 years timeline wise? would be my best guess #mmmmm there was that time he was very much in continental teyvat to kill the swordsmiths of inazuma #and kazuhas ancestor. can’t remember exactly when that was tho #i feel like i remember it being a great grand parent or smth but i’m not 100%

suspiciously close to dropping a concerning amount of money to get hadestown tour tickets

#I NEED TO SEE HANNAH'S EURYDICE #the tour is going to be in california this september #and they're going to be in three theaters instead of just the orpheum in sf #and one's like only 45 minutes away instead of 2 and a half hours #only problem is the absolute cheapest ticket is $100 #with like the worst possible seats #the pricing for the other theaters hasnt dropped yet #so im restraining myself #but i literally have no money.....#and would most likely pay for my mom because i want to bring her #cause i brought my dad last time #so thats 200$ already #but its been a rough year #i kinda need to see the tour again #okay that was a very long ramble in the tags

what is happening

#100 notes??? In like two hours??????????? ??????????#last time this happened. was a year ago (feb 14—hornet and kabbu post). if i remember correctly.#and it's on the simple thing i took like. a couple hours to make. what #peridots-nonsense #i mean. i appreciate the attention! i just can't grasp why it's this specifically??? it's not even like some super-popular blog reblogged #it or anything. ????#anyway. i have been meaning to let myself ramble more often in hopes of counteracting Awkwardness so you get Whatever This Is #realize i never specified but if it wasn't already clear this is about the prev post. yea 👍#EDIT: at 12:09AM on this Feb 26 (GMT) it has broken 200 notes. it's already officially been my third most popular post on Tumblr since #reaching 158 notes but there's that now too i guess #edit at about 12AM feb 27 gmt: this is without a doubt the fastest any post of mine got notes. it's my second most popular post on tumb #hit a comma on tumblr. at this rate it may very well become my number 1 in less than 24 hours

The brushbug post sure blew up huh

#this is the fastest i've ever gotten 200+ notes #i was so scared when my first brushbug post blew up last year because i'd been told that wha was a small fandom #and i woke up to like 100+ notes for a post i thought would barely get 30 notes 😭#genuinely thought i was getting flamed for something before checking out my notifs lol #anyway this is all to say that i read and adore each and every tag y'all leave on the post #i was sad i couldn't colour the page because of how overwhelmed i've been with exam prep lately #but it makes me so happy to see all the excited tags at the end of the day :)#cina's stuff #🍀
