affirmations they will not kill me at work today. it is not in my job description to get killed. if they did kill me at work that would be weird and probably not worth it for them

[dreamlogic]

asked one of my coworkers how she's doing today and she goes "could be better, could be worse," and another coworker nearby who was eavesdropping chimes in with "could be a lil bit o' alligator curse!" i have no idea what he meant by that but i do know that it has been immediately added to the lexicon.

DON’T become even a casual nerd about historical fashion because you’ll start looking at pseudo-medieval fantasy and going “that jacket and those breeches are 200 years apart and reflect extremely different social movements” and “oh no they were NOT making shirts like that prior to industrialization” and “a fly front? in MY ~1500s???”

The thing about this is that it's not even deliberate. People often respond with deep offense that you're not taking into consideration that it's fantasy, but it's not really a choice: when you understand a topic well enough, these issues are immediately apparent and immersion-breaking in much the same way something more obvious would jump out at a normal person.

It's like if there were suddenly an 18th century style revolver in Westeros, but no other use of gunpowder. Or a Model T Ford. It would stand out and make you go "how did this get here?" even if you understood that this is fantasy!

i miss my beautiful wife joann fabrics it feels as if eons have passed since i last saw her. this guy michael keeps waving her visage in front of me and saying she’s living in his house but he is lying to me. i know this because i went into his house and found only fragments and memories of my beautiful wife joann and pictures of her shadowed face labeled “online only”. michael won’t even let me order swatches from him
