Never heard of you before. Just happened to see something someone shared on here about how "a place where no one has died" fucked them up.

So I figure sure, I'll give it a listen on my drive home. Not much really messes me up like that, but I could use some new music.

Now I'm pulled over in the back of a strip mall parking lot bawling my eyes out for the first time in... more years than I can say. I've heard of people laughing till they cry, but I don't hear much about crying until you laugh. Something about your voice makes me feel the loss of something I don't think i ever had, but now I'm not so sure. Maybe I just don't remember.

So, uhh, thanks.

what a beautiful moment. thank you for sharing <3

i really can’t put into words the feeling i get when y’all share this type of experience with me. it reminds me that my art might actually be worthwhile. so thanks

@all-reblogs-all-the-time https://ffm.to/allmysecretsep It's a pinned post with links to everything. Personally, I just threw $10* through bandcamp for the album.

*it's 5.55 for the album, but I bumped it up to 10 because I'm still feeling things, and hour of listening that I already have through spotify is worth that, at the very least.

This is the funniest email I have ever received from a professor

[surprisebitch]

also most considerate

[goat-yells-at-everything]

For context from someone with chronic migraines: short reply in large font means I dont have to look at the screen longer than a second to see what the professor said.

Extremely considerate and I assume the professor probably has migraines sometimes too or someone close to them does.

you know what I definitely will give ATLA credit for, in retrospect? no push for zuko to reconcile with his father. no weird, dissonant 'yeah he's an abusive fascist but He's Still Your Dad' thing going on. fuck you. he's going to jail.

Knotty Business: A Delightfully Tangled Reading List on Knots

“Before we learned to make fire, before we rolled the first wheel, before we polished the first axe, we learned how to make knots,” says Kanya Kanchana. Follow her down the rabbit hole and enjoy six stories on our fascination with knots.

I’m just learning how to make knots. I’ve got heavy-knit cotton cords in ivory and crimson that I keep in a pouch. Using two colors helps me tell the twists and turns apart.

I should be starting with the basics but I’m constantly distracted by more glamorous knots with names like Turk’s Head or Monkey’s Fist. Or Windy Chien’s Dune Creature, a Heaving Line sandworm that reminds me of the exploding palm leaf snakes I made as a kid. I’ll keep at it. Just like in writing, I enjoy working with shape and form, gesture and constraint. As Nick Cave says in The Red Hand Files, “What it takes for me to pursue these freedoms—to feel genuinely free—has paradoxically something to do with order and constraint… . Freedom finds itself in captivity.” And someday I’ll get good at this wonderful thing.

People not comprehending Nosferatu correctly might kill me. Yes it's erotic and about pleasure but yes it's devastating and about child sexual abuse. It's a movie about victimhood, about being already dead, about longing for the great beyond, about never feeling safe from your abuser, about always expecting one more rape must be endured. It is about being an ugly victim, a neurotic victim. About your supposed allies tying you down for fear you will rip their world to ribbons. It is about facing the abuser, facing the pleasure the abuser brought. It is about men seeking to silence a plague in the quiet of the night when grooming and abuse can only be destroyed by pulling it into the light of morning.
