Bees for Presidents of the World

I for one cannot wait for our new bee overlords to take the running of this planet out of our giant incompetent hands. ____ Terfs fuck off.

there will never be anything as funny as the mutual disbelief between long form and short form fic writers about each other's style.

short form writers look at people writing 100k+ fics as though this is some sort of talent given as part of a fae bargain, that the commitment required shows some sort of ungodly mental fortitude.

meanwhile long form writers look at people writing 1000 word one shots like god I would cut off my left nipple to be able to say anything concisely. i would love to play with multiple ideas. free me from the shackles of this child I have birthed. i love them but I now must take them to t-ball and doctor's appointments and they're going to destroy everything I own.

It's interesting how, culturally, we've gone from workplace comedy (The Office) to workplace existential dread (Backrooms and Severance). Can't imagine why.

Jesus Tapdancing Christ... THIS is a good welt pocket and the people who designed Simplicity 2895 ought to be blasted well ASHAMED of themselves for the crap way THEY wanted a welt pocket made. *SNARLS*

This is how I learned to do it and a good example of what you want to see in a short form tutorial: pinning, pressing, seam finishing, good fabric handling.

I would mention that you can make the pocket facing with a small panel of your matching fabric that is visible and the rest in a lighter fabric to reduce bulk. That's a lot of denim layers for comfort.

Fish as fluid as the ocean. 🌊

All California sheephead start life as female and move through an array of colors and body shapes as they mature. Some female adults may transition to male as social and environmental factors shift, balancing the delicate ratio of individuals in their population.

While male California sheephead are largest and easiest to identify at a glance, a closer look at the lively waters of our Kelp Forest exhibit reveals a variety of female sheephead swimming through these fascinating life stages. 

Stream our Kelp Forest Cam and find peace in the beauty of a thriving underwater community. 🫶🌈

when you’re a gay lion and you accidentally tried to introduce your lesbian lioness friend to one of her own exes at a gay bar and she goes into the bathroom and bitches you out for not being able to tell her endlessly rotating cast of girlfriends apart which isn’t really fair because first of all they all keep dyeing their hair different colors and second of all she keeps getting back together with different ones at different times and meanwhile you’ve been “single” for like 8 months but are spending a lot of time with one specific guy who works at your old co-op and were going to excitedly tell her about it tonight but now you’ve ruined the whole subject of dating by trying to introduce her to her own ex at a gay bar (which is a watering hole. because you’re lions.)

grandpa joe was an immoral individual

[princessnijireiki]

I don't even mean the thing everybody jumps to when they say, "damn, so he could walk this whole time?"

I mean from the very beginning, charlie comes home with a loaf of bread, and his mother, concerned charlie may have been working instead of at school, or may have been exploited, or may have been stealing, asks how he got it, and joe says, "what does it matter how he got it? he's got it!"

the family are starving so badly that charlie feels this burden to help take care of everyone, and they can't afford bread, and his mother has to sing about it, and joe's been sitting on some money-- does he buy bread so it's not a child's job? no, he gambles and buys a candy bar.

when they're at the factory, joe steals fizzy lifting drinks, and incites charlie to steal.

when wonka confronts them, joe then rages at him, like they are the victims of this terrible injustice, then tries to prompt charlie to steal again, by selling stolen candy to slughorn (who is vaguely depicted as a spy and a creepy predator approaching children in alleyways, making charlie extra vulnerable).

and he did this after suddenly feeling healthy when the opportunity arose to piggyback on charlie's adventure/lottery winnings.

and the narrative rewards him for all of this.

sometimes I think too hard about like. how the ability to record audio fundamentally changed how humans interact with music. can you imagine if the only time you ever heard music in your whole life was when you or another human being in your actual physical presence decided to create it. and 99.99% of the time that person was not a professional but just like your wife or your dad or your co-worker or church choir singing or playing whatever they happened to know. i honestly don't think we can fathom it

Everyone on this post making nonsense "WAH it must have been BETTER back then" comments is ridiculous. I have 24/7 instant high-quality access to Carly Rae Jepsen's entire catalog. Go listen to Cut To The Feeling and appreciate that miracle or get off my post.
