Studio Spotlight: PriestmanGoode

Designing Forward: How PriestmanGoode is Shaping Aviation’s Next Chapter At a time when the aviation industry faces new complexities and evolving passenger expectations, PriestmanGoode is redefining what it means to ‘lead by design’. The London-based studio isn’t simply reacting to change – it’s actively driving it. From future-proofing airline strategies to enhancing the everyday passenger…

spawned on an island with a single tree so i made a boat and headed like actually 1200 blocks away to find actual land, and landed on this beach with a shipwreck in the sand so i guess we're off to a very cinematic start :p

[fic] The Great Suit Loot of 1718 (Our Flag Means Death)

The time has come, and the Auxiliary Wardrobe Zine @stedebonnetzine has come to an end! Naturally, I went over the very word limit I helped to set, so AO3 gets an extra section/extended edition.

Ed/Stede, with background Archie/Jim/Olu and Lucius/Pete; rated T, no warnings; 5054 words.

After giving up the "cursed" red suit, Stede longs for something equally fancy to replace it with. As it turns out, there are plenty of relevant skills and supplies on the Revenge, and what they don't have, well - they are pirates, after all... A little excursion into 18th-century fashion and the power of handicrafts, against the background of Stede and Ed's healing relationship. Set in a pocket universe post-2x05 where there's, like, at least six weeks between that and episode 6.

READ ON AO3

Hugest of kudos to the wonderful @tsunderejon for coming up with and running the zine! The full thing is available for free on her Ko-fi now (SFW and NSFW editions), which you should absolutely check out for all the other fabulous works! And if you'd like to donate to Care for Gaza anyway, I encourage you to do so.

Still reading through Monster, but I think I finally figured out why Trim has had me on edge this whole book. Since the first mention of Trim I have been so (irrationally?) suspicious. It felt utterly sinister and I could not really articulate why.

From what I understand so far, Trim is about finding a "genuine human connection" between oneself and someone else. But I cannot help but feel like lurking in the background is going to be the denial of the humanity of a person with whom one cannot connect.

Because that happens every day.

If you are not part of the dominant culture, the onus is on you to suppress the parts of you which do not fit within that culture so that you do not discomfit those who do fit within that culture. Because what people in the dominant culture are really looking for is a way to see themselves reflected in you. And I think this is the lens through which I have been seeing Trim.

Anyone who has navigated society or any of its institutions as part of an outgroup knows that you could excel in your field while being kind, helpful and pleasant, but failure to adequately portray all of the trappings of the dominant group will still be taken as a personal and professional failing.

Of course, you could cultivate that skill, learn all of the right words and the right ways to dress and act and all the right foods to eat at lunch and all the right topics to discuss. But that is not really connection - it's just you holding up a mirror to those with power so that they can see themselves when looking at you.

Because that is what they want. To believe that you are "just like them", and to ensure that you really "belong", because if you don't, well then they would have to expand their world view to admit the existence of other ways of being. And that would be unfamiliar and uncomfortable.

I think that because the Mbo is more accepting than Falcrest (at least on the level of gender and sexuality), there is this sense that Trim is inherently more "moral". But the Mbo is still a society, and I have yet to encounter a society that does not draw a bright line around at least some people to create a class of the abject. And I think that is why I look at Trim with so much suspicion. I don't need to find a personal connection with someone else to recognize their inherent humanity. After all, my failure in the eyes of so many people to be a person who "belongs" or who is "like them" has not made me less human.

You're a therian? That's so cool!!

Have you made any masks or tails??

:D yeah i am! And yes I have made a mask (and bought a tail, not as fond of it though since I didn't make it myself), it doesn't actually match either of my theriotypes because it was more as a craft project (species dysphoria relief for me is usually something I do through my hair & clothes)

But yeah! I have a couple older pictures of me in the mask actually :)
