"You are a museum. Some people will stay away cause they are simply not interested. Some will only explore the first floor because they find the whole thing intimidating. Some will only visit for the temporary exhibit and some will scan all the floors but won't learn any of the context. Only few will spend hours reading into the depths of what's on display and those are the ones who will cherish you."

Realizing that I am not employing enough of my free will to become a nuisance at work
Me watching this:
I’m not letting this rot in the tags
I eat romantic shit up. If I were asked to just sit on a roof and look at the stars id probably internally combust
The calico is Katarina and the sphinx is Mewsette. These photos are from July 2023, I truly just never post anything for some reason. They’re from AridaBJD on Etsy (she has a YouTube account also), Katarina was a custom order (in terms of eyes and markings etc). Couch and clothes made by me, shoes came with them.
Not an ask, I wanted to share this guy
I only saw the one, but it cant be that old. (Its like a centimeter long?) Anyway, it was doing the cute little "im a twig in the breeze" dance, so I put it safely on a big lily flower and it scurried off.
SO TINY
I can't remember where I read it last week, but the person discussed how when we think of chattel slavery in the US, we tend to think of massive plantations of cotton or tobacco, with one very rich white master or mistress with lots of land and lots of enslaved people. But we very rarely think of the many families that had just one or two slaves, in smaller homes.
Because it's not like you had to pay them, so once your family owned someone, they owned them and their descendants indefinitely. Could you pay and eventually free em- sure! You could also send them anywhere you want for any labor you want, could have an enslaved woman bred for more children, or maybe save up and buy new slaves and sell the old. Like cattle (thus, chattel slavery).
So it's interesting that many people go "oh well it's not like my family owned slaves!" Because like, one, how do you know that? Have you ever actually asked your grandmas about their grandmas? How many of your family members grew up with mammies? Have you ever asked? I wonder how many people have actually done the digging for the truth (or was it easier to just benefit). Because I've talked to my grandma, who picked cotton in the sea islands. She had to have been doing that for someone in the 1930s and 40s!
And two, it's easy to think that because your family (or someone else's) didn't own sprawling stolen land and generational blood money like a plantation owner, that it wasn't as important. But... It was. That was still someone's entire life. That was a person, whose labor benefitted and saved a family money that could be used in other ventures. How often do we think of them?
that poll going around of the guy who thought "people only eat tofu as a bit because they're deranged vegans" or whatever really crystalizes something that i have never been able to precisely say - which is "a nonzero fraction of people who start picky-eater discourse just happen to precisely hate those foods which are not from north america and refuse to introspect on this whatsoever"
In contrast some people say "there aren't any picky eaters in Asia 🙄" but this is laughably untrue. I have a cousin in India who refused until his 20s to eat anything in a sauce. as you can imagine in India this was difficult. he basically had to pick things out of curry and wipe them dry

The Greco Egyptian Magical Fragments are so fun
If I was drinking with the girls and someone threw a dog-bitten rock near me, I would ask the caster what's up. Why we throwing dog rocks?
Having lesbian friends feels so healing. I love u lesbian friends.
this pride month i'd like you to consider becoming transgender. and if you're already transgender, i'd like you to start killing everyone who has wronged you
This is what hieroglyphs and figures in ancient Egyptian temples looked like before their colors faded. They were recreated using a polychromatic light display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, following thorough research.
Sometimes you hear a song and a fic pops into your head full formed. This is a trap. The fic may be fully formed in your brain, but you still Have to write it down. This is an important step that most people forget about.
throwback to my favorite image ive ever seen on this site. a perfect little melange of racism. i could write entire novels deconstructing this thing. its so bad it looped back around into absurdist comedy for me. thats my friend the floating buffalo shaman who has no religion
every so often i remember that most people probably dont know what i refer to when i mention my friend, the floating buffalo shaman who has no religion.
