ps/2 ports turned out perfect for turning into ear studs

dunno why I have a reaction to saying 'ow, my port' when I accidentally lean on it tho

littoralreverie

there's been some interest in how these were made, so!

i bought a pack of 10mm stud earring bezels, a bunch of pcb mount ps/2 ports, and 10mm OD stainless pipe (not pictured), all from aliexpress

the original plan was to use inline ps/2 ports but the metal sleeve on them was really soft and deformed easily when trying to cut with a rotary tool, so i settled on stainless pipe instead

step 1: remove the metal housing and pins from the port and deconstruct it down to just the centre plastic bit with some side cutters (extract the pins before cutting it down to the centre bit, metal is crunchy)

step 2: cut a ~10mm length of the stainless pipe (don't be like me, secure the pipe properly and use eye protection when using a rotary tool)

step 3: mix up some two-part epoxy, gently align in the stud bezel and let dry

alas they're far from functional ports, but it's a cute lil project and will look good on you :D

ID / TL;DW: young Black man explains the history of voodoo dolls: they originated in England, where Black people where prohibited from learning to read or write, to help witches keep track of what ailed their patients. Eg., person goes to witch and laments headache, they treat their headache and make a small doll (called "poppet"), trying to represent them as good as possible, stick a needle in its head and put it up a shelf. When they return next week, the witch takes their poppet and asks about their headache. If it's gone, they remove the needle, otherwise they know they have to treat a rather persistent headache.

I feel like contouring is lowkey racist

heartof-au79-deactivated2024090

Is this a joke?

chambaeli

Noo lol I knew I’d regret phrasing it that way. This is tumblr, after all…

It’s not “people who contour are themselves automatically racist” but that the desired face shape created by contouring is one that, at the end of the day, pretty much reflects existing white standards of beauty. A thinner, pointier nose, smaller chin, high angled cheekbones and (on occasion) smaller lips. Also if you’re darker skinned you have to use a much lighter shade of foundation thus ending up with an overall lighter face.

I probably could have phrased that better.

burmeseauntie

No, you are absolutely correct. In fact it is not even lowkey in the performance arts/entertainment world. I’ve known how to contour since I was 9, because I was in ballet. I was taught by an older Asian dancer who told me that I was already darker than everyone else, my face couldn’t look different too. So she showed me the basics, then left me with a picture of a white person as the goal to emulate.

It’s always been explicit and intentionally racist in terms of what is considered correct contouring technique is to emulate white associated features. Which is not to say that contouring is bad, but it is good to ask ourselves why we do not contour to make our noses look wider and more distinguished. Or why we don’t shadow and highlight to make the face look perfectly round? While contouring is not bad ( and is actually very cool to literally be able to control the way people perceive your face, it’s like magic) it’s good to ask ourselves why we contour the way we do.

#when i was in my middle school dance recital my dance teacher was doing my show make up #she started talking about how she was sharpening my nose with her countour stuff #and i asked “why? why sharpen my nose?”#and she looked at me like “are you seriously asking me that? what do you mean why?”#and i just felt like i missed something #and the something was internalized racism! hooray!
