—Vincent van Gogh, in a letter to his brother (c. 21 December 1881)

"The clergymen call us sinners, conceived and born in sin. Bah! What confounded nonsense that is. Is it a sin to love, to feel the need for love, not to be able to live without love? I consider a life without love a sinful and immoral state."

I am exhausted and not-quite-migrainey so decided to instacart groceries.

In this order I requested 5 individual carrots.

I am now the (proud?) owner of 5 BAGS of carrots.

This is too much carrot

[fractiousrvt]

I've been got by instacart carrots again.

I chose this:

This image appears to be of the lose carrots that one finds in the bins where you can choose your own carrots, yes? You would not expect this to be a pre-packaged bag of carrots, right? Well that's what I thought at least, so I requested 1 pound.

I received, admittedly for the price listed, a 25 POUND BAG of carrots.

Oh my gods i didn't even notice!

Does this count as a very minor fey curse/blessing because it kinda feels like one

Happy Too Many Carrots Day to tumblr user fractiousrvt

[fractiousrvt]

If this happens again next year i might cry XD

[fractiousrvt]

Well, Too Many Carrots Day has learned some moderation.

I ordered two carrots. There is no longer a "bulk carrots per lb" option, but I did select the loose carrots.

I ordered 2. I have received 3. This is a tolerable amount of extra carrot.

Papercraft commission of Frieren! I love this series, so I was extra excited to make this piece. ^_^

Since I had free choice of what spell to depict, I picked the Vollzanbel/black hole spell from the big magic fight in episode 25, because I thought it would look especially rad made out of shimmery holographic paper. Plus, I also got to make flying rocks! Bursts of fiery light! Lots of drama!! And, my favorite part - I got to go super, wildly detailed with Frieren's hair!

I will forever respect Animorphs for tricking kids who are just really into animals to read a book series by going “Hey you, you daydream about what it’s like to be a dolphin or a bird or a wolf? Have I got a book for you!” and then slowly radicalizing them with 50+ books of “There are no winners in war. Whatever ‘victory’ you perceive comes at the cost of sacrificing your own morals and killing the part of you that is human. In the end you will resort to murder, torture and war crimes and the knowledge of what you have done will haunt you for as long as you live.”

I bet those astronauts are pretty excited to be the farthest from Earth anybody's ever been. You might even say they're over the moon about it

[eldritchbauble]

Say it with me - I am CHOOSING to be responsible for my own behavior, I am CHOOSING to approach others with decency and kindness, I am CHOOSING words and actions that put good into this world, I am CHOOSING to be aware of my own capacity to harm others and to consciously avoid that harm, and I am CHOOSING to believe that hope for a better life and a better world is never lost. I don't know what else to tell you but I truly believe that if we cannot collectively fight for this, we're going to go insane and things will be bleak and we will die miserable. Hope for yourself and others is only lost if you let go.

[eldritchbauble]

I don't have to know you all personally to genuinely care about what happens to all of us, and I refuse to let myself be bitter and hateful.

[eldritchbauble]

Kindness isn't always free because sometimes caring is the hardest and bravest thing you can do when it feels like the world has turned its back on you and everything is bad forever. But the cost of letting go of hope and kindness is far greater than the cost of committing to hope and kindness.

[eldritchbauble]

Especially if you've gone through a lot of pain, the commitment to hope and kindness is one that you'll probably have to make over and over again.

It's worth it.

[eldritchbauble]

And absolutely DO NOT FORGET that being kind and doing good does not mean any of us are obligated to entertain willful ignorance and bigotry.

Guy who never feels like his problems are “bad enough” to be taken seriously: what if I hurt the character so horrifically that everyone around them could not possibly deny the severity of their pain even if the character themself tries to downplay it.

i know things are hella grim in the nsfw/kink art circles especially in the last year --

but I'm hearing there's a NSFW-friendly ko-fi alternative built on atproto that's actively in the works, and being vetted by lawyers right now. as torrent-princess (OP) says, you should be able to swap out payment processors while keeping your account intact. this matters since even if stripe removes support, you'll still have a shop and all of your links intact. (ATproto is an infrastructure that bsky is built on, but is far bigger than bsky with far more opportunities.)

additionally, the Free Speech Coalition is working on a credit union specifically for adult work (including kink art) - here's the link so you can add your interest & support. Since this will be built by sex workers, there'll be far less risk of being debanked for spurious and puritanical reasons.

on a domain TLD level, there's an initiative here for a .furry domain built from the ground up by seasoned furries; it's unclear whether they'll support NSFW, but it's yet another promising turn of events for a group that's been similarly affected by censorship.

there are friends and allies out there helping to build a working parallel infrastructure. keep being vocal, keep supporting these initiatives when it's possible, and keep supporting your nsfw/kink artists. ♥
