i find myself far more charmed by aral vorkosigan than i know i would by any of the modern romantasy love interests with a ~dark past i've heard about. this is funny because he's an utterly charmless man, but when he awkwardly proposed to cordelia a few days after meeting her and said he'd been thinking about it since the moment he first saw her (when she was barfing on the mud), i had to laugh, shake my head thinking "what a strange little man," and admit i'd been won over.

I first read Shards of Honor in the italian translation, and in it Aral is still using the formal form to address Cordelia when he asks her to marry him. His lack of charm bewitched me utterly

Oppose H.R. 1, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (UPDATED 6/28) - Cloture Invoked - Final Senate Vote Early This Week ⭑ 5 Calls

Updates June 28, 2025: The Senate has voted 51-49 to invoke cloture for H.R. 1. The final Senate vote to pass the legislation is expected by

If you have a moment today, 6/30/25, to call your Republican senators and scream at them scream at them ask them to reconsider their plan to destroy Medicaid and America in general, please do. I strongly suggest mentioning if not highlighting the deficit and ICE's wasteful and unnecessary budget in your call. In this version of the bill, ICE is set to receive more funding than the Marines and become the world's most expensive police and detention force.

[errorschacha]

As of today, 7/1/25, or tomorrow I guess since somehow it's nighttime, you should be calling your Republican House reps and imploring them to commit sui to commit suic to vote no.

All of my funguary quilts together (*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)🍄

Chicken of the woods, destroying angel, black trumpets, pixies parasol aaaand wrinkled peach mushrooms.

They’re all 10x10” and were a great way to figure out how this free motion foot thing works. And best of all- I LIKED making these. I’ve always been dissatisfied with my drawing and my sewing, but with their powers combined I finally found an art form where I like the process as well as the outcome. Who’d’ve thought.

Anyway. Maximum scrunch.

to clear any confusion, because my last x-files/campal art raised a lot of questions already answered by that post

Hot take: the following things can be simultaneously true:

America has always done bad things

Trumpism is connected to the failures of Reconstruction

Trump is still a uniquely terrible figure who ushered in a uniquely destructive era in American politics

Snide remarks like “lulz, lmao, you think Trump is bad? America was ALWAYS bad” contributed to the cynicism, nihilism, and apathy which led to not enough people caring about the country to try to stop him at the ballot box

It reminds me of people being outraged when Democrats responded to something like Charlottesville with “this isn’t who we are”; yeah, obviously that’s always been part of America, but rhetoric has an impact and it both empowers white supremacists and demoralizes normies to say “yep, white supremacists represent America and everything has always sucked shit.” There are consequences to pretending all people and eras are equally bad, because then people stop taking new and dire threats seriously, and there are consequences to people believing their society is always and forever evil, because then they don't fight against those threatening to harm that society. You don't need to whitewash history to understand any of this.

I should be able to both read for 8hrs a night and sleep for 8hrs a night. That I cannot is very rude and, frankly, poor design.

Here it is in all its Highlands Coo glory!! I LOVE how it came out. It’s certainly a marathon. If you are considering making this quilt I have 3 pieces of advice for you

1-Buy an Acorn pressing solution pen and refill. This is GAME CHANGING for flat seams and better accuracy

2-for the love of all things, trim to the measurements at EVERY step

3-Make the thistle borders first. Your future self will be so over all the teeny piecing. You are just going to want to be able to add sashing and borders to finish the top. Trust me. You will thank your past self for thinking ahead!

That being said, go forth and make all the Coos!!!

One of my favorites, and it came together quickly! Was trying to learn how to paint iridescent colors.

I've never seen anemic people have issue with people calling scant and unsatisfactory things "anemic" as a description of its state. Like I guess the low-iron people are there like "yeah mood, I am also low-energy, watered-down, lacking in substance, and not truly living up to the potential that I could have had if provided with the right tools and resources. Just like this newest Warhammer release."
