red why am I just now finding out you’re going to be at dashcon 2?? From my other comfort youtuber???
I could've sworn I mentioned. Who's talking about it? :D
For anyone else who might've missed it: Red & Blue will be presenting a panel called "The Joys of Overthinking" at DashCon 2 next weekend!
You can watch their panel (and many more) at Virtual DashCon 2!
Tonight on My Husband Doesn’t Know How to Baby Talk
“Ma’am, are you aware that these, right here are your hands? They belong to you. And you get to decide what happens with them. So when you use these hands to pull your binky out of your mouth that is not necessarily a dad problem. I’ll fix it obviously i just want you to acknowledge it’s not my fault”
Husband: ma’am it has been reported lately that you do in fact have tiny little toes and a little button nose, do you care to comment?
Penny Rose: Babbles in Baby
Husband: RIVETING!
Penny Rose: Does that High Pitched Baby Yell ™️
Husband: Let it out friend! Feel your feelings!
Me: Hehehe silly husband doesn’t know how to do baby talk
All of tumblr collectively at my husband:
Penny Rose: does a sad baby scream
Husband: you don’t even have to understand taxes yet! I can explain them but you’ve got several years before that’s relevant!
Penny Rose: wide eyes, staring at her father, almost intrigued
Husband: I lied to you Penny your mother does our taxes. Do you want to know about arbitration? I know all about arbitration.
THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND
yes he just walks around the house and talks to her like this
Penny Rose: Cooing as twinkle twinkle little star plays
Husband: Now Penny there is a lot of misinformation out there in the world and I hate to tell you this but the moon is in fact not made of cheese. That is a conspiracy theory pushed by Big Dairy.
????
I can't help but imagine he sounds like Gatsby and calls the baby "old sport" sometimes
I'm retroactively recognizing these as posts as being about the artist currently known as "Penny the Deals Warlock" and let me just say, I am thrilled to to realize that OP's family has been like this The Entire Time.
I do this with babies, too. I also just carry on deep conversation, responding to baby noises like they answered in great depth. It's funny to hear about it from folks that don't Get It.
My spouse and I have mutual friends from different circles (Me: boardgaming, Her: quilting). One friend has had a couple of kids in the last few years, and at least one is around at any given time. The first few times I conversed with the kids, mom was very confused and asked my wife about it later. "Oh, yeah, he's always done that. Never an ounce of baby talk or cooing, just straight-up debates about stuff."
Last night at gaming, she "Yes, and-ed" me for the first time.
*Baby gurgles*
Me: "Well, yes, that happened in 1928."
Mom: "(Atomic), we all know that was 1932."
Me: "Yes, but Smoot-Hawley happened in the interim."
*Baby giggles*
Me: "See? He agrees."
We never talked baby-talk to our kids. Oddly enough, what it led to is them talking like intelligent little people from an early age ... rather startling strangers, at times.
I mean yeah, we sang to them, 'cos *babies*. But we always talked to them as people.
me too, for this friday cliffhanger
see you on monday!
Okay, I was not expecting this innocent-looking 1915 women’s fashion magazine to hold not only a debate strongly in favor of birth control, but also a BLISTERING demand for women’s suffrage!
Like, super passionately furiously angry blistering
Made me want to run out and march for women’s suffrage myself

In case anyone finds it helpful because mobility aids are horrifically expensive and inaccessible…
And for those people who have access to mobility devices but might benefit from a second chair they can abuse without risking expensive damage…
Erik Kondo has made a website, Open Source Innovations, that details plans for DIY wheelchairs. These wheelchairs can be made from common materials like wood, plastic, and pvc. They are lightweight and can be custom fit to the user allowing from the same degree of movement you would get from a custom chair. And they are durable and easily repairable. (he has been stress testing his latest design by dropping it down stairs, dropping it out of a car, launching it across a driveway, and throwing it off a deck). Its 12lbs and I think he said its was in the $200 ish range for parts.
He also is working on cheap, open source, accessible designs for beach chairs, off road chairs, motorized attachments (think smart drive), and so on. Plus he skateboards in his wheelchair. Cool dude, helpful info, pass it on.
It's incredibly sad people have to resort to this, but it's a damn good resource. Use it. Spread awareness. Maybe one day people with physical disabilities won't need DIYs like this. But until then, reblog and share.
This is Accessibility!
That's so amazing! It is unfortunate that so many people will need this, but very very cool that it exists
That other link seems to be broken.
Thank you so much for putting the working one!
I will add it to my original reblog as well.
the main problem i have with america is that nothings old as hell there. i cant be so far away from a castle it damages my aura
man people really just say stuff on here huh
Noooo haha don't spread racist ideals and colonizer propaganda by idolizing white european aesthetics above all else and denying the life and accomplishments of native peoples on their own lands
People have been living in the downtown area of Tucson, Arizona for at least 4,500 years. The greater Santa Cruz river valley has been occupied by humans for 12,000 years.
You see this?
That's not a river. That's the South Canal in Mesa, Arizona (Phoenix metro area).
This is a view of the East and South canals. At least half of all the Phoenix metro canals were originally built by the Hohokam (from roughly 200-1400 CE), and are still in use (restored) today.
Phoenix, Arizona actually has more miles (kilometers) of Canals total than both Venice and Amsterdam. No, really. Phoenix has about 180 miles of canals, many of which are built on ancient canal foundations.
below is an aerial view photo taken in the late 1930's of one branch of Phoenix's canal systems:
Also have the "Montezuma Castle," if you need a castle:
I don't need to look at some 12th century European castle to see age.
Also want to point out that many Indigenous nations literally decided to prioritise NOT building permanent buildings. That was a choice they made. You know what permanent human-created things they left instead? THE LITERAL LANDSCAPE. Even though the settlers did their best to destroy it, the landscape was still tended and shaped by Indigenous people. Every biome that exists here was created by some nation or other, every plant was encouraged or discouraged by the local people who ranged in that area.
But more to the point: I don't need fucking buildings to know that people have been here millions of years, the people are here telling me that, and I fucking listen to them.
sometimes u headcanon a character as a sexuality but then also ship things that contradict that. sometimes you ship things you would NEVER EVER want in canon. this is because these things are fun and silly and not legally binding.
Yeah I don't know where some people got this idea that fanfic is always like, auditioning to replace canon or being posited as "better" than canon, as opposed to people just borrowing the characters to play with in the sandpit for a while before putting them back in their box
It's my birthday!
And to celebrate I got wonderful new headshots from Sarah Deragon with Portraits to the People!
For the third annual Festival of Everybody Yells at the Elemental Magus, Erin's actually in the current chapter and on today's page in a Situation!
we're celebrating the spirit of the season! nobody deserves to be alone on the Festival of Everybody Yells at the Elemental Magus
Competent larger than life villains only exist in fiction. All real life evil is cartoonishly incompetent. It's their fanboys who talk them up in fake histories.
I checked, the book is real.
Kids comics are not separate things that people are doing over there, but rather these should be considered steppingstones to getting young readers into local comic book shops.
In my latest newsletter, I interview writer Preeti Chhibber and artist Jodi Nishijima about House of Harkness, my favorite new graphic novel in which teenage Wanda Maximoff goes to magic school and becomes rivals with teen Agatha Harkness
When I checked it out “Travestissements” means “Cross-Dressing” so what’s going on here?
Are these 1832 Mardi Gras outfits super-femmy versions of boy’s outfits
— or are these *fantastic* disguises for a man and a boy?
Notes:
Fashion plate No 158 from the March 1832 "Lady’s Magazine” labeled “Travestissements”, or “Cross-Dressing.” It looks like fancy dress costumes, probably for Mardi Gras.
A woman and a little girl (unless it’s a man and a little boy) in the fashionable silhouette of the early 1830s — giant puffed short sleeves sticking out sideways from a tight triangular bodice with a narrow waist, bouffant skirts extending out in a rounded dome. However, these are shorter than normal dress skirts — calf-length on the woman and only knee-length on the girl. Their hair is pulled tightly back and up into the looped and braided topknots popular at the time.
The person who looks like a woman carries a black mask in her hand. She wears a white dress with white sleeves and a large white ruffle at the knee. Over that she wears a watermelon-pink latticed bodice underbust corset sort of thing with an open-front short skirt. There are big blue-green bows on her shoulders and waist and she has more in her hair looking like leaves with a big pink flower. She also has a huge carved comb stuck in the top of her hair but her hairstyle is so busy you almost don’t notice it. Her stockings are bright pink and she wears little black laced ballet slippers.
The person who looks like a little girl is wearing a white dress with a fawn-colored corset-bodice laced up the front, also with an open-front skirt, dagged at the bottom and it looks like little bells on the points of the dags. Her sleeves are fawn-colored with blue dags and bells and she wears dagged fawn pantalettes under her skirt. Her shoes are bright pink and red and have curled toes like in Aladdin stories.
Alas, I am informed that “Travestissements” simply means masquerade costume or fancy dress.
So maybe that woman and little girl are not cross dressing.
However — *this* couple from an 1834-1836 Belgian fashion plate *definitely* includes a cross-dresser!
So hooray!
Fashion plate 144 from the Belgian edition of “Le Follet Courrier des Salons” circa. 1834-1836
Two women in fabulous costumes. One is dressed sort of like a Musketeer, but using the fashionable silhouette for women of the time, with a pinched waist, huge puffed upper sleeves, and a rounded bouffant skirt which, being a male costume, only comes to her mid-thigh. She has a black half face mask on. Her dress is in shades of pale gold and light blue with a small white ruff around her neck and a big white lace collar over her shoulders, and she has visible gold breeches with big lace cuffs at the knee. She has one hand sassily on her hip and there seems to be a blue ostrich feather emanating from it so maybe she has a musketeer hat hidden back there.
I wondered if maybe she was supposed to be Shakespeare and that was a plume pen but when I looked closer I think I can see a tricorne hat sort of folded up in her hand.
The other woman is in some sort of shepherdess outfit, I think, with a tight black bodice, short tight white sleeves, and a big white calf-length skirt with pink and green ribbon decoration. Feels like the sort of popular “rural” opera costume of the early 19th century that later “traditional” folk costume was designed to imitate.
Behind them are sketched in theater boxes and a big crowd of people in fancy dress. You can see people dressed as Turks and Muslims in turbans, clowns in pointy hats, a Marie Antoinette dress and a Harlequin.
