“I’m wearing a 30s/40s patchwork quilt robe, vintage Levi’s, vintage mesh top, vintage loafers, and a 60s whimsical print purse. I am always drawn to pieces that emphasize beautiful craftsmanship, attention to detail and pieces that are uncommon.”

“Worm theology” is not the whole story of the human race. It’s not where our story starts, and it’s not where it will end. But it is part of our story, and, it’s currently part of our story.

“I am wearing the ERL sunset puffer jacket with a vintage union-made quilt skirt and supreme Nike Af1s. I'm drawn to pieces created from quilting or embroidering fabrics. I'm really picky with textures, and today I wanted to feel like I was walking in a blanket.”

This is me and my beautiful, joyful, determined, funny, brave daughter taken by the wonderful @finndaragh several months ago. Miranda is the highlight of my year, the light of my life, and becoming her mother is a neverending delight and privilege. I know I’m not the only one holding their little ones tighter than ever.

For those who don’t know, recently it’s been announced that Singapore is going to repeal a colonial-era law criminalising sex between men - Section 377A. It was one of the big goals in queer activism country, and now, we’ve done it! Sex between men is getting decriminalised!

There has been conservative backlash at this decision, and the government is also amending the constitution to protect the definition of marriage to be between a man and a woman to appease religious groups. But though this wasn’t a complete victory, and there’s still lots of work to be done, I’m still glad that we did it! Our queer activists achieved one of their big goals! Holy shit, I’m really happy right now for that, even though I know the fight is far from over.

I hope that queer Singaporeans stay safe in the upcoming weeks. Take care of yourself and each other. Keep hope alive. It’s slow progress, like with anything, but it’s still progress. And though I know the fight is far from over, we will get there someday. Stay strong all!

What do you think is what causes this absolutely unhinged Targ hate? Like, I totally get if the Targs aren’t someone’s cup of tea, they can be a lot, but the way Targ haters talk about the Targs is just scary. I had this unhinged Targ anti reply to my comment on Reddit with an absolutely unhinged essay on why the Targs aren’t magical at all and that it’s just “supremacist propaganda.” It’s just really weird.

Idc if someone just doesn’t like the Targs, but what bothers me is when they act like they invented feudalism, are the most evil family ever, and when they demonize them for their dragons. Targ antis act as if the Targs are the only problem in Westeros and that getting rid of them is the solution. They must have watched GoT and read asoiaf with their eyes closed, because the war of the five kings was a war that was started just fine without help from the Targs.

The Targs did not create feudalism or war. It’s just strange how Targ antis fixate on the Targs and only blame them for feudalism as if feudalism wasn’t the system Westeros had for thousands of years before the Targs appeared. Sorry for the rant, I’ve just seen some really dumb comments on Reddit about the Targs and wanted to say this.

Unbiased answer: hate is stupid in general and i've seed batshit takes for every single character I like in asoiaf. It's a general phenomenon, if it makes you feel any better.

Biased answer: targs get extreme hate because they are the coolest house in the asoiaf universe and the very reason for asoiaf's popularity. they get hate because, while not everyone is familiar with the asoiaf universe, everyone and their mother knows the targaryens and recognizes asoiaf precisely because of the targaryens. they get hate because george decided to keep writing about the targaryens and they get an insane backstory where other houses get nothing. they get hate because dany is the reason game of thrones got popular and the reason hotd exists. that's why they get hate. loving the targs on SOME level is the norm and hating on the norm simply makes you seem cool and different in online spaces, which gets you clout.

Actually this is in sync with my unbiased answer because every character/house/trope that is popular and well liked will get an insane amount of very loud and stupid hate, it's just the way it goes. It is not something that only concerns the targaryens. I hope that covered you.
