on the one hand, i love the way needle felting finished projects come out. i love how soft and fluffy they can be!
on the other hand, the process of using polymer clay doesnt ever send a shooting pain up my wrist & arm. and i like being able to paint and carve each sculpture.
i think with more practice i can get to a place where finished sculpey projects look as satisfying as the needlefelted ones. i mean i've already made a lot of progress so far-- the early pieces have all been smashed to dust with a hammer but now i'm so fond of the new charms i'll be keeping them around to wear as necklaces!
and i'll still keep needle felting. i just have to plan more carefully/efficiently so I'm not working for a long time, then scrapping it, starting over, and figuring it out as i go along etc. that should definitely help with the wrist pain.

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

donated 50 reais to a palestinian GFM today
it amounted to 8 dollars
several days' worth of expenses for me became a single digit donation for them. barely enough for a blanket. just like that
it really sucks to know that my money is inherently less helpful no matter how much it'd pay for me, and there's nothing i can do

was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.
to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:
kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him
