I love people who craft and I love learning about other people’s crafts because every single one is full of little things that non-practitioners wouldn’t notice but others in the craft RAVE about.

Like, I’m a knitter, and before I started I couldn’t tell a knit fabric from a crocheted one, and I mostly would appreciate pretty color choices and overall patterns. But now I drool over perfectly uniform stockinette or a good stretchy bind off, and don’t even start me on neat floats on the back of fair isle!

Quilters will talk about the binding and stitch choice on a finished quilt, ceramics artists will gush over how a glaze turned out, embroiderers will sigh at perfectly smooth satin stitch, and a woodworker can spot a good join from a mile away.

There is so much more beauty and artistry in the world than we can see on our own.

“Man, as an aromantic person, Valentines Day must suck–” WRONG! All my involuntarily single friends are moping. All my coupled-up friends are stressing about putting together an activity. I am having a perfectly nice day knowing I can buy cheap candy tomorrow.

still mad about smart TVs. that shit should be in a separate box like you can literally buy one of them androidtv boxes for £30. it doesn’t need its own ip address it doesn’t need its own app store it doesn’t need to replicate the functionality every device plugged into it already has

Smart TVs are one of the great evils of the modern era tbh. If I wanted spyware on my TV I should have to download it myself

i keep promising myself i won’t become another technophobe yelling about those “dang newfangled machines” or whatever. that i won’t Get Worse until going back to punchcards unironically seems like a good idea. that i’ll enjoy new things as they come out.

but so much is actively evil, hostile or otherwise enshittified. i don’t want to track my greebles with splorp i don’t want to pay a teehee subscription to get round cacophany’s file limits i don’t need 17 ways to skrimple my scronk 7 of which secretly activate scrungly plus ultimate i don’t need to link it to my flowolf account i don’t want to manage it with the flowby mowby i don’t care if poob does or does not has it for me. i don[’t care

i want a big screen whose ENTIRE job is to show me whatever device i plug into it. and also audio. i want to save my documents. on the computer. that i’m using. i want to own the media i buy. i want tech that is fat, properly cooled, simpler, serviceable by a normal person, and not forcing me to constantly select the “onlly spy on me a little bit” box every couple weeks.

You are so incredibly right

thinking of jesus at the gay bar again………

Do tell

[ID:

a poem by Jay Hulme, titled Jesus at the Gay Bar

He’s here in the midst of it -
right at the centre of the dance floor,
robes hitched up to His knees
to make it easy to spin.

At some point in the evening
a boy will touch the hem of His robe
and beg to be healed, beg to be
anything other than this;

and He will reach His arms out, sweat-damp, and weary from dance.
He’ll cup this boy’s face in His hand and say,

my beautiful child
there is nothing in this heart of yours
that ever needs to be healed.

additional info:

-> “why wasn’t this book listed?” probably because it wasn’t black sapphic-centric, the author isn’t a black sapphic themself, or i just simply haven’t heard of it! so feel free to add on if it meets those two criteria

many of these books require trigger warnings, especially some of the older ones that are more likely to feature racial struggles of the time. please do your due diligence and search for tws if you want to read them!

please feel free to add onto this list in the rbs or comments! happy black history month
