What if the combined clips from Paris or Somewhere and Getting Married in Buffalo Jump made a really happy gay cowboy movie?

And just because... wow

Y'ever think there's a subgroup of people in the MCU who when SteveTony get together are like:

The Week's back, with a review of Ultimate Wedding Planner.

The show's a confection - the task is wholly unrealistic and doesn't test the skills it claims. But there's heart and the result is quite satisfying.

Plus Eurovision news, commissions from Edinburgh, and how many milli-Wales is the 6666 Ranch?

As cameras becomes more normalized (Sarah Bernhardt encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use cameras because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by manufacturing companies. I paint not because I want a painting but because I love the process of painting. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

if i have to explain to you that using a camera to take a picture is not the same as using generative ai to generate an image then you are a fucking moron.

You know, I haven't drawn the Princess in a while, so here's (in my opinion) the most intriguing lore wise:

A web of nerves laid upon a web of nerves laid upon a web of nerves...

D&D session was great today guys, nothing went wrong and Soren made no incredibly rash spur of the moment decisions affecting the well-being of herself and her loved ones.

shimmer shifts masterpost <3

about me: hi! you can call me shimmer, and i am a reality shifter. i made this blog to post about my experiences, advice, and my theories about life, the universe, and everything. i have been reality shifting since i was a young child in this reality, but i stopped for a long time and more recently i had to teach myself how to shift all over again. my goal is to in some way support others in their journeys by sharing a piece of mine. just saying since it comes up on here often: i do not believe in the Law of Assumption, but i totally respect if you do. i've read Neville Goddard's work and it just did not align with me. my beliefs and opinions are based off my own personal experience with different forms of meditation and reality shifting, and i encourage everyone to form their own beliefs the same!

my realities:

hogwarts | the walking dead | alternate CR

sky: children of the light

quick links:

shifting methods: pure awareness | destabilized awareness | lack of awareness

what triggers a reality shift?

what is awareness?

intention and belief didn't make me shift. what now?

what are my shifting blockages?

letter for those who haven't shifted yet

i can't visualize, what now?

shifting with adhd or distracting thoughts

what is "the void?"

how i shift

awareness shifts, 3D follows

you ever resent a character's popularity because of how most of the fans reduce them to their characterization in a single scenerio instead of observing how they are in other circumstances as well?

What if Ray and Fraser moved to a small Canadian village and they were really happy? This is what I imagine it'd be like.

I think I've identified the reason I get so worked up about anarchism in relation to labor rights and safety in particular.

Three years ago I watched my coworker almost die when a piece of machinery we were moving unsafely fell on him. It missed his head by an inch and snapped his leg in half instead. It took months of recovery and multiple surgeries for him to walk again and he will be disabled for the rest of his life. And it didn't happen because of Capitalism or profit motive or because our evil bosses were forcing us to work unsafely. It happened because he'd done similar things a hundred times before and it had always been fine, and because I didn't know enough to clock just how dangerous what we were doing was, and just because of some plain shitty luck. Mentally it fucked me up for months in ways I didn't recognize until well after the fact.

And the thing is, almost every construction worker can tell you about the time they saw a fatal or near-fatal accident. An apprentice younger than me had a heart attack and was out of work for over a year after shocking himself on a live circuit. The woman who runs our apprenticeship program has a husband who had his arm blown off in an arc flash incident. One of my teachers had a coworker die after getting hung up on a live circuit and he wasn't found until the end of the day.

Construction is one of the single most dangerous industries to work in, and I believe this is why rates of drug and alcohol abuse and suicide are sky-high in the industry. I think many construction workers are low-key traumatized by knowing constantly that they could die or be permanently disabled due to a very simple mistake or oversight. It is simply inherently unsafe when you are working with live electricity, power tools, heights, thousands of pounds of machinery, cranes, etc. And so yes, I do believe that safety protocols and the ability to enforce them are absolutely necessary to preventing a massive amount of death. The number of worker deaths in the US has been slashed by 60% since OSHA was instated.

And so to get online and have someone who has never set foot on a jobsite in their life condescendingly explain to me that actually, we don't need OSHA or the ability to enforce safety standards because in a perfect world everyone will just suddenly start working perfectly safely, and I'm just too stupid or brainwashed to realize that The Real Villain Is Capitalism, and if we just get rid of that it will somehow also get rid of the inherent safety issues involved in the entire construction industry - well it turns out it pisses me off a little bit!

when the god was made in the image of a man who infiltrated the mind of said god and in doing so made himself intertwined with the form that god took while also being the cause of that form creating a infinite feedback loop of what caused the god and his creator to evoke the very image of the death the creator feared through the form of an animal representing that concept, and the god has faint, undeniably human characteristics given to him by his creator while his creator retained none of it. fuck

Thinking about all the students having monstrous forms in Eito's eyes that are each representative of different horror subgenres or themes. I'll get back to y'all on this one chat.
