actually kinda awkward to reach that stage of life where you don't really have a group of friends but rather individual friends that are all over the map and with different schedules so people just assume you're somewhat friendless. and in a way you kinda are but also life just keeps happening so really what is there to do
if you want to actually start to end homelessness, you need to give homeless people unconditional homes, including when we use them to do drugs or sit around drinking. either housing is unconditional or it isn’t
someone sitting at home alone, an active alcoholic, squandering your charity, drinking all day is better situation than a street homeless alcoholic. someone using drugs in your charity house is better than them doing the same w no shelter
most of you would not like most street homeless people, I definitely don’t and didn’t when I was street homeless. for every one person who uses unconditional shelter to turn themselves around, someone else will do jack shit and very slowly, if ever, work through the issues that made them homeless, will maybe never be able to live independently. still better than street homelessness, still worth doing. ultimately either you believe that shelter should be universal or you don’t
homeless people actually can’t be rehabilitated if you want to end homelessness. we either affirm the right to shelter for the worst drunken, lying, filthy, cheating, self destructive homeless people that exist, genuinely irredeemable wankers, or we concede that shelter is not a right
This post is the distilled essence of everything I believe in.
archers gloves vs digital artist gloves being opposite of one another
Much like how archers and digital artists are mortal enemies
Behold, the digital artchery glove!

weird as fuck living in a culture where it's considered more impolite to speak up and defend yourself against someone treating you unfairly than it is for someone to be rude to you in the first place
Please call this recession the Trump Slump.
We need to put Trump's name on this.
if ever anything I wrote were to ever go viral, let it be this. Let everyone talk about the Trump Slump. I want to hear this term in the news.

"just do both!" let me stop you right there. everyone knows academics cant cum
You’d think that, but based on the noise complaints from the college in my town summa them cum laude
Hating asexual people is the most bizarre fucking thing to do. Like there are so many things you could be hating on and I don't care how long your list of things to hate is, what the fuck is your problem that you decide to be offended by the existence of people whose whole defining thing is that they're not doing anything and have no intention nor desire to be doing it in the future, either.
It's very much tied into the hyper sexualized world that we live in. Often haters perceive it as "What do you mean you don't want to fuck(reproduce)? Do you think you are too good for [it/me/other person]?"
My old psychiatrist just "diagnosed" me with "hypoactive libido" and I was like fine I guess it's not like the ancient jackass tried to get me into treatment/counseling about it at least. This was around 15 years ago. (Thankfully I have a better, much more open-minded psychiatrist now.)
"if tumblr dies you can find me on bluesky" "if tumblr dies you can find me on Instagram" if tumblr dies you cannot find me. It's over. I'm free.
Tragic. Tumblr user made a good point but was unnecessarily condescending about it. Will not be reblogging
"you're a monster if you can't reblog." Well rawr girl rawr 🧟♂️
i made a character sheet. free to use as you wish, feel free to change whatever you want XD open source ass thing. spent all of ~maybe an hour on it.
Credit: the text in the insert-image box comes from this video, and the text for the top three lines (intense, complex, fruity) comes from this post. The actual image was made with the free NBOS character sheet creator, which is a sort of dated but free and solid text-layout sheet maker intended for ttrpg style character sheet creation.
this is GENUINELY one of the best character development sheets I've ever seen. Cuts right to the core of what you and your readers will glom onto, doesn't waste time on details that don't directly affect the narrative. Stupendous. Effervescent. Finally, some good fucking food

Collected Work In Progress pics from The Studio Project.
Really proud of this double cabinet/drawers arrangement. Everything is bolted to the walls for safety, there's braces between the cabinets and drawers and that gap lets me reach the Outlet.
Special thanks to @xiaq and @hellenhighwater for sharing their kickass house projects and giving me the initiative to do mine.
Next wall in progress!!
That little table is mostly there so it's not underfoot, but I am pleased that it fits so nicely in that gap.
Doors on and cords managed! Onto the final wall!
Final cabinet! (ignore the blood)
Herschel and Mochi are helping me break down the cardboard Soni can use it to smother the thistles out in the yard!
1. This is why I bolted absolutely everything to the wall. I have a bowling ball with a mountaineering hobby.
2. Studio corner one and studio corner two (there will be more pillows as soon as the cases get out of the wash because I often work on the floor for the benefit of my back)
Mom will come on Thursday to help me make one final modification to the table (so I can open/close the windows) and then I can move all my crap back in!!
...The Next Phase Begins.

Also a pink mothman plushie that was originally for my niece but I really like it so maybe I will acquire a second one for her.
Collage!!
Probably going to add smth to the Sakura but I need to figure out what.

Put up the wall pieces that my art friend who was downsizing her studio gave me! They're tiny quilts mounted on frames!
Second cabinet done! These shelves are orchids, DNA and the Tarot!
DAWN OF THE FINAL CABINET:
Deciding what the theme papers are going to be but it needs to dry while I'm doing that.
Mom helped me convert the studio closet into a proper storage closet for April Fools!
All of this is recycled wood from my parents various home remodeling projects, and the middle shelf is older than I am. Which means Mom hung onto that board for 35+ years and THREE DIFFERENT HOUSES before it finally saw use today, which has vindicated every instinct we both had about hoarding art and home supplies.
So remember how I mentioned that an artist friend of mine was moving to Santa Fe and wanted to downsize her studio?
I was her unwitting mark.
I am very grateful for all this, but also.
Ma'am. I have a ten by ten cube. I'm not sure this is going to FIT.
I used to joke with mom a lot when we bought fabric together that it's fine to hoard it; no worries, I'm going to be happy to inherit it. While I'm unhappy to inherit it because, you know, how inheritance happens (fuck I miss her), I'm not unhappy to rehome it. I'm just... slightly stumped on where to put around 1.5m3 of sewing stuff, mostly fabric.
