Okay y'all NEED to go see Backrooms.

[redstonedust]

its probably a normal sign for the economy that all of my adulthood fantasies are like "imagine having your own kitchen living room and bathroom to decorate" "what if i could get on a train" "maybe one day i could purchase a sturdy pair of shoes" "i should save and invest in a single bicycle"

[fruitypieq]

Quick what are you doing RIGHT now (besides scrolling Tumblr)

Les dances à travers le monde

[apollosdrunkenmixup]

my favourite thing about this is some are very traditional dances integral to that country/culture; and some are one individuals favourite move

and he approaches all of them with enthusiasm and a surprising amount of skill

[hadesisqueer]

"Tattoos are becoming unpopular", "piercings are unpopular again", "keep your hair natural never dye it again, it's the trend now" literally fuck off I know what y'all are doing

[bekkathyst]

I know this is weird timing, but I'm dealing with some behind the scenes things right now for the shop that are not all too pleasant, and I could really use a little boost.

So, basically the whole online shop (yes even the jewelry) is 50% off with the coupon code CLEARANCE (The only things not included are the journals/prints)

I hate to do this and I wish I already had my new inventory that I'm waiting on, but I'm just doing what I can for now to keep the shop open! Thank you all so much, I'm really looking forward to putting this annoying phase behind us and getting in a good spot again. Soon! :)

Here's the link to have the coupon code automatically added to your cart!

If you can touch type, I highly recommend just looking away from your keyboard and screen while you're writing and just... staring into the void. While typing. Just disengage from your body. The amount of times I've been stuck on a scene until I stare upwards into the white nothing of my own blank mind, and I am hit with absolute clarity of mind and unbroken creativity... It's magic. Try it if you can. 10/10

[creekfiend]

there are a NUMBER of folktale Woman-Creatures like selkies who exist to make the inherently coercive nature of heterosexual marriage explicit and to externalize male anxiety about how if your wife had actual autonomy she very well might disappear and you might never fucking hear from her again

which is a FASCINATING category of Woman-Creature imo

[creekfiend]

someone said it's also a cautionary tale about mistreating your wife and I think that's spot on especially for other related types of stories e.g. the crane wife. like I think these stories are very much Husband Anxiety Stories. the Woman-Creatures are black boxes whose interior experience it is impossible to know and who have strange and often seemingly arbitrary rules that you must follow or else they will disappear. idk. like. that's why I think that any empowering-to-women-ness qualities of these stories is incidental. I think they're externalized anxiety about coercive societal heterosexuality and the inability to truly Know one's wife in such circumstances.

[whetstonefires]

you also see a variant of this formula a lot (generally at the more literary end of the fairy tale space) where it's not a creature you capture, but a magical lady who picks you for seemingly arbitrary reasons, bettering your fortune enormously with her magic and wealth and second-hand status.

and then, for reasons usually at least slightly less arbitrary, fucks off again.

the husbandly anxiety here is more about not having access to coercion as an option.

[creekfiend]

oooo yes absolutely!

I think I figured out how to make those cute wire-wrapped elf/fairy ear cuffs? I donno I'm tired and my fingers hurt but these are kinda cute...

The Same Dark Money Behind Project 2025 Is Bankrolling A Northwestern Study Recruiting Trans Kids

Project 2025 outright calls on conservatives to fund and manufacture more “studies” on the “negative” effects of trans-affirming care.

I hate when king arthur has all these fussy little steps in the instructions and you're like "no way do these fussy little steps matter" but you try it and they do. they matter so much.

[bookaddict7342]

I thought you meant Camelot quests and I was like "that's fair, 'never pick a four leaf clover on the last Wednesday of the month' IS a fussy little step that shouldn't matter" but then I was like "wait isn't that also a flour company"

[morhath]

nooo I am not a beleaguered knight of the round table I am making elaborate focaccia 😭
