“And afterwards, if you’re feeling like maybe throwing a little bit of lucre our way so that we can continue making movies, you can do so at ipiratedwereallgonnadie.com. Thanks! Enjoy the movie.”
brennan lee mulligan having absolutely no hope for dimension 20: on a bus from the second katie started speaking vs matt mercer trying so desperately to help her have some semblance of sanity occurring has the same energy as brennan excitedly telling the intrepid heroes “gonna kill that dog!” during unsleeping city vs matt allowing laura bailey to keep a weasel pet that absolutely should have been dead by the second episode she had it.
I wish depression were an emergency. I wish someone could take one look at how sick I am and go “oh my god, we need to get you to a hospital!” and then when we get there I get rushed into surgery and the surgeons say “it’s a good thing you brought her here when you did, this is a seriously advanced case” and then they put me under and spend the next ten hours pulling metres of long, sticky black strands of gunk out of my body, throwing it immediately into an incinerator so that it can’t infect anyone else. And then they could stitch me back up and I could rest a few days, and when I leave the hospital everyone can see how much better I am and they congratulate me saying “well done, you’ve been so brave, I’m so glad you’re ok. I love you.”
if you only have one person in your life that you trust, you probably are always going to turn to that person when something shit happens. as well as whenever something good happens. or anything else. this is not inherently a bad thing, and it’s really beautiful to have someone in your life that you trust so much
but if that person is suddenly busy or going through something difficult themselves or doesn’t have emotional capacity for a while, suddenly there’s a problem. not necessarily through any fault of your own, you don’t have anyone to turn to with as much regularity as you did before
this is true of any kind of relationship. this is true of any kind of coping mechanism, also. the problem is not that you trust that person. the problem is not that you use that coping mechanism. the problem is not even that there’s something wrong with you and that it’s all your fault. the problem is that nothing can be everything
the solution is not to cut off your one trusted person or to cut yourself off from your one trusted coping mechanism. the solution is to do the difficult work of diversifying your life as much as it’s possible for you to do. which is why it sucks so much when external factors prevent you from being able to live a truly diverse life. okay that’s all have a good one
apologies for the shitty phone photo, but there’s a panel in my lesbian experience with loneliness by nagata kabi that also sums up this sentiment really nicely.
Sometimes I have to remind my dad that he’s a master furniture maker and most people do not possess encyclopedic knowledge of European and American furniture styles and the history of wood glue
If there’s one thing you as a regular person need to know it’s that the highest quality wood furniture out there is not held together with metal screws. Metal isn’t generally used in actually good wooden furniture outside of hinges and decorative bits. This is because when the wood and metal expand and contract over time they change at different rates and over many years this slowly pushes the screws out.
Really good wood furniture is made by using joinery and wood glue. Possibly just joinery if you do it correctly. The wood and glue expand and contract at the same rate and this makes the furniture last way longer. We’re talking centuries longer.
got a text from my old boss that she got new kittens, which didn’t surprise me bc she’s infamous for having like 10+ cats at a time and is constantly taking in strays from neighboring farms. average thursday for her right. but then i go to actually open the image she sent and
I used to be a proficient googler who never wasted a word but since Google is near useless no matter how good you are at it now I have reverted to just typing in entire questions like an old person
Type the word “fuck” into your query
“Fucking corn bread recipes” will disenshittify your search results as opposed to just “corn bread recipes”
niche indie art is great because most of it is very middling in a genuine and charming way. this song melody is kind of nothing but the lyrics are clever. this novella plot is flimsy but the prose has a lot of bounce. this video essay could have been a text essay and lost nothing but it’s still intellectually interesting. and then one day you take a gamble and click something that you don’t really know much about and you’re like. ah. they put some god in this one.
