Happy pride month to my dad. When I came out as bi to him, this man googled what it ment, look at me and said "ohh. Yeah. You get that from me. You'd have far more siblings of I only shaged women." And went right back to his work emails.
Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”
So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”
Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.
Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.
#hell yeah #let's get Tumblr those reading comprehension skills #media literacy skills and critical thinking skills even if they pout about it #they're in the game so they have to use it #me included of course I have a lot of learning to do but I wont stop being a judgy bitch tags by @gayfirebird
My summer project for myself is to make a collection of 16 of these embroidered thimble rings (called kaga yubinuki), these are my first 2 ^^
using this as an opportunity to add this link to this post too:
Thank you for coming back to my blog after so long a leave (again). I plan to update my blog at least once a month but as you see it has be
really clear, written instructions that explain the why as well as the how. there's a lot of beautiful, simple designs on her blog as well!
Guide for people like me who discovered the idea of thimble rings with this post (eventually after spending some time at the sewing store wondering what use silicone thimbles can even have)
well its june across the pond, so here's a unicorn for junicorn
trying out shapes with akram and carl
happy pride everybody
pick whatever option the person you're following who reblogged this post didn't pick. if they didn't say in the tags what they picked or if you're seeing the original post and not a reblog, pick at random instead.
first option
second option
Proof of concept. Playing with lace on a wire frame.
things in fic I'm used to people kind of faking their way through writing about:
the city of los angeles
the city of new york
sex
how drinking alcohol works
how getting high works
how a child of any age speaks
how nuclear physics work
how [my job] works
how debilitating being shot in the shoulder is
how hypothermia works
things I have never before seen someone fake their way through writing about, until today:
what french toast is
read through the notes on this one trust me
Here's some of the notes, starting with the things multiple people brought up:
SHRIMP COCKTAIL:
banahbanah: #flashback to that one fic where Peter Parker frets about drinking shrimp cocktail because of the alcohol
generaldeliciousness: adding: what a prawn/shrimp cocktail is
#why is your character turning it down because they're under 21 #do you think prawn cocktail is a cocktail #this lives in my brain rent-free constantly #the rest of the fic was so normal #and good enough that i'll still re-read it #but bro
And then many, MANY, people wondering if this was actually authour mistake, since Peter really would do this!
POMEGRANATES:
zhajhassa: #haha where's that post that was like someone describing someone eating a pomegranate but they ate it like an apple
thornhands: #once someone wrote persephone biting into a whole Pomegranate #had to stop and stare at a wall for a minute
sungsingsanguine: I once saw someone very confidently write about a character eating slices of pomegranate.
FRUIT TREES:
zagreuses-toast: #given a very endearing glimpse into a writers blindspots by seeing them describe someone sitting under a ''pineapple tree''
salatrash: I remember something about picking watermelons... OF A FUCKING TREE
baander: #cranberry trees
DOUGH/BATTER:
maycelium: #I'm a chef so I'm really used to people not accurately describing how to cook food #But I was surprisingly flabbergasted when someone was writing making a cake and was kneading it. Which uh #Not necessary for cake. It was interesting for sure but just bizarre
livebloggingmydescentintomadness: #the one that drove me nuts was when a character set aside a batch of PASTA DOUGH 'to rise' #pasta doesn't have yeast!! #it does need to REST but it will never RISE #you do not want an airy crumb on your noodles
lovesodeepandwideandwell: #THE ONE WHERE THEY MADE COOKIES BY LADLING BATTER INTO A TRAY
Some other topics:
this feels like making one of those posts people get sent death threat anons about but...
do you think the Despicable Me minions are people?
Me and my friend are in two camps. She thinks they are not, simply because they are not human. Her requirement to be a person is simply to be a human. ME on the otherhand, i extend my definition of personhood to any sapient non-human who can communicate on par with a human. Humans are people by default, but i think a 40 foot flesh creature with teeth for skin would also be a person if they gave me their name and told me they were DTF.
Thats why i would not consider a dog a person, because while they yes are very intelligent and have an internal state and way of communicating with us, they are not able to do so on the same level, whereas a minion would be, despite not speaking the same language.
This all was brought on btw bc of an argument with her fiancee about putting minions in the people section of his Tomodachi Life Island
Oh my definition is even broader than that: An Orca Whale is a person, but one that needs additional civil protections because of its inability to communicate with the kind of nuance necessary to function in modern human society.
And by the same logic, the Minions have the same right to inhabit the "people" section of Tomatachi Life as any other fictional character, "human" or otherwise.
(more under the cut)
#this is an extremely silly argument that makes for good philosophical exercise #also don't take this too seriously #I'm not in a position to enforce this belief or the oceans would be a whole lot cleaner #also OP just turn off anon after a certain amount of Tumblr noteriety it just becomes a hazard tags on above post
Already know I wanna send this to people on June 1

the best part of field trip experiments is a chance to become THE experiment yourself ;)
I was curious about the math on this because... they're made from rocks and their atmosphere is way higher pressure than ours. But I think the math works out!!
Assumptions:
Air at 29 atm and 230C has a density of only 0.02 g/cm2, which is essentially 0
Water is 1 g/cm2
Eridians are 5 g/cm2 (rocks are 2-3 and metals are 5-12 so I'm going with a funky average with nice numbers)
xenonite is the same density as Eridians
xenonite barrier is 2% of the radius of the ball (1cm for a 1m ball)
I can do all my calculations assuming Earth gravity because bouyancy/weight would both be affected equally by the double gravity, thus cancelling out
We can estimate the radius of a pebble by picturing them loafing cutely into their carapace
In order to float, the ball has to be less dense than water; however, water displacement is directly related to density, so
to be comic-accurate, we're looking for the balls (with pebbles inside them) to be roughly 20-50% as dense as water.
Let's start with the xenonite shell:
% of ball that is xenonite = (volume of outer shell - volume of inner shell)/(volume of outer shell)
= [(4/3)πr{outer}^3 - (4/3)πr{inner}^3]/[(4/3)πr{outer}^3]
= 1 - (r{inner}/r{outer})^3
= 1 - (0.98)^3 = 6%
So the density of the ball alone is roughly:
6% x 5g/cm3 + 94% x 0g/cm3 = 0.29 g/cm3
We're already pretty much there without adding a pebble!
Now let's see what radius pebble we'd need to get to 0.5 g/cm3:
[% of volume taken up by pebble] x [density of pebble] + [% xenonite x density xenonite] + [% air x density air] = 0.5g/cm3
% of volume taken up by pebble = (0.5 - 0.29)/5
= 4% of the total ball volume
What a cute little pebble!!
but remember volume scales by radius cubed.
% of ball is pebble = volume of pebble/volume of ball
= [(4/3)πr{pebble}^3]/[(4/3)πr{outer}^3]
= [r{pebble}/r{outer}]^3
0.04^(1/3) = r{pebble}/r{outer}
...so the radius of the pebble is about 35% the radius of the ball!
To find the maximum size of a pebble that can float, let's say the density of the entire ball has to be 0.95 instead of 0.5:
% of volume taken up by pebble = (0.95 - 0.29)/5 = 13%
13%^(1/3) = 50%
However, this would mean they'd be mostly underwater (like an iceberg)
So the pebble has to use a ball that is at least 3 (for safety) times taller than its loaf height in order to float!!
(2-3 for safety if they have a low density like a rock, 5-6 for safety if they have a high density like a metal)
oh my god thank you so much for doing the actual math about it 🥹🥹🥹🥹 it is so important for me to know the pebbles can actually float!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
like seriously I thought it was a silly little comic that won't get much attention so I decided to feel a little guilty and force myself to handwave the science for that cartoon cuteness sake. now that it got A LOT of attention I was seriously starting getting worried 😅
but now I can bask in the vision of Pebbles just being accidentally gifted the biggest bouncy castle on the planet xD (I know they won't be able to bounce like that either. best they would get is like reverse cannon ball? with the help of Grace but screw it lol) that poor Grace as the only bouyant guy in 16 light years radius has to fish them out of ;P
I made something 🥰🎉🎉

This is what my free play screen looks like right now:
8 hours of decent sleep will have you thinking things like 'i am a beautiful horse and i will never die'
2 hours of bad sleep will have you thinking things like 'i am a stranded whale and i need to be covered in dynamite in an ill-advised attempt to clear the beach'
0 hours of sleep will have you thinking things like "I am a stranded horse covered in beautiful, ill-advised whales that can never die" and "I bet I can fix this with dynamite".
