"Being a parent is hard! You wouldn't understand!"

I'm sure it is hard, but your kids don't have the right to be throwing mud at people's windows or destroying community spaces.

"They have behavioral issues!"

Charlene, you're one deflection attempt away from me adjusting your own behavioral issues permanently. Be a grown-up, take responsibility, and tell your brats no or as a bare minimum watch them.

I just had a bizarre experience while researching.

So, for reasons (this will make more sense later but spoilers!), I was looking up whether celebrities had ever worn needle lace in public appearances and I started with Burano and then widened to all needle lace. Nothing came up.

This is weird because I know for a fact celebrities have (especially Italian needle lace, hence starting with Burano), so it’s… just odd it’s not catalogued. (And a little annoying.)

Later, while doing something else, completely unrelated to lace, Grace Kelly’s wedding headpiece happened to catch my eye. It’s dripping (literally, in the front) in needle lace. This was bizarre so I read the caption. The caption is “antique rose point lace”. I have… rarely to never heard that term used before…?

That’s weird because… I’m a lacemaker. I make needle lace.

Maybe I’m just confused though, I am still a beginner to intermediate. So I pull out my lace books and scan the indices. No mention of rose point. I did find an article in a popular encyclopedia that made the common anglophile mistake of assuming Burano only started lace production after 1872. And precious little else explaining the origin of the term or the differentiation (can be hard to find discussion of Italian laces in English, so that’s not necessarily a red flag). So that’s not great. (To give you an idea of how mistaken it is, I read the pamphlet from the Burano Lace Museum in Italy and they, the specialists… yeah they don’t agree. And they, understandably, seem a little terse about the popularity of the error!)

I repeated the search, just to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Grace Kelly’s headpiece still doesn’t come up.

Given the flowery yet vague name, it kinda seems like jargon specifically to gatekeep and confuse. Especially since many needle laces are specifically documented to have “needle lace” nearby for archival purposes. This is all obviously speculation on my part and there could be a good reason for this… but it leaves a sour taste in my mouth, regardless.

Anyway if you know why this is or where I can find articles discussing celebrities wearing handmade lace or antique lace (preferably needle lace but I am getting less and less picky by the moment) please please please let me know. I don’t want to overlook anything in my research!

I am continuously collecting anecdotes like this. There will be a pile of them I won’t even be able to get to after my current research/video is finished. So I’m finding it increasingly hard to buy that handmade lace is one of the few handicrafts academics “respect”.

For the first time this isn't me talking good about a comic and what I LIKE.

You know as I usually do.

This one is me being a hater for once like the majority of comic book twt.

So. Let's begin with All star Batman and why it sucks ass

These are just my opinions btw. It's okay if you like it I just think it's shit.

FIRST OFF!!

Completely got the deaths of the graysons wrong. Was this an attempt to parallel the trauma Bruce faced because if so it's really fucking shit. Like extremely shit. How is the mafia going to make this look like an accident? Which was...I dunno .....a very key point in Dick's backstory? Why he became robin and sought out to prove Tony zucco was behind the murder?

Also I just don't see a point in changing the way they died. If it was for making a parallel then again, PRETTY shit attempt. Both watched their parents die and fall to their deaths and that's enough you don't need to bring this in. Again this is me trying to find a reason as to WHY he would do this. If anyone knows feel free to correct me.

EXCUSE ME??? I MEAN DO I EVEN HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING ON WHY THIS IS MISCHARACTERIZATION AND JUST REALLY FUCKING SUCKY. First of all this is a child who just saw his parents die. Bruce wouldn't just grab him by the scruff and go "okay now fight crime" that isn't even what REMOTELY happens. Why does this even exist. Why am I reading it. This is just THE FIRST ISSUE. AND IT'S SO BAD.

but okay.. I'll give it a chance.

Nevermind this comic gets no chances what the FUCK???? NO SERIOUSLY WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.

He KIDNAPPED DICK DRUGGED HIM SHOVED HIM IN HIS CAR-

And we're supposed to root for batman? Actually this isn't batman this is a fucking disgusting clone it's not real there's no way this is real- it's painful to read actually.

He says this after smacking him. THIS SHOULD'VE BEEN HIS FIRST THOUGHT. I WILL-

Did they really just try to make Bruce the most asshole person on earth because that is NOT BATMAN.

Ugly ass bitch-

Ahem.

So let's continue with this fake ass Batman

Does the writer like...hate batman? And this is such an out of character thing for clark to say, what do you MEAN!?? Clark is the one who got Bruce's back who believes and understands his reasoning and fucked up little brain.

He would NOT say this.

She would not fucking- you know what this is all already down the drain it can't get worse right?

So it got worse-

Babygirl you are insane and cruel and need to be put into Arkham.

....the mysoginy is SO PAINFULLY Evident who wrote this crap. Like seriously what the fuck??? Hello?? Bitch??

There is only ONE scene I like but even that got ruined by bruce punching dick instead of just telling him what he did wrong.

The ONLY panel I actually chuckled a bit at that's it. Even this whole sequence was insane and horrible.

Moral of the story? Don't let Frank Miller right shit he's horrible.

... I already asked it to help, you declining the help doesn't change the fact I already asked. I'm not sure exactly how Fae work, my only experience with them being while I was blissfully ignorant, but I feel I've already become indebted.

Fucks sake.
