A shaky (sorry!) video of my alethiometer-like device in action. I call it my divining watch, and no, I’ve no idea who made it or why. It seems to be pretty old, maybe from the 1920s-1950s?

I bought it from a dealer in the UK who specializes in rare watches. No, he doesn’t have any more like this, as far as I know. No, this isn’t a movie prop or, as far as I can tell, in any way tied to the actual series of His Dark Materials.

It does work a bit like an alethiometer, though. Instead of twisting the needles around to formulate a question, though, I just ask. Then I wind the watch and it points to a symbol, which I interpret. I do know a bit about it, but not who made it. You can check out my #divining+watch tag for more on that...

I truly am obsessed with how Knives Out was like. Hello Daniel Craig, man who has spent the past two decades of his career being alternately beaten up and objectified playing an action hero with no personality. Would you like to please put on a shirt and an incomprehensible vaguely Texan accent and flex your character acting dark comedy muscles as well as your pecs for a while. And he's like BOY WOULD I and they made a work of art. Also love that they put Chris Evans in sweaters. Get your beefcakes then dress them nice make them soft and give them some bonkers character work to do it's what cinema needs more of

[calamitys-child]

I love that several people have responded to this with "op I forgive you cause you're Scottish but that's not a Texan accent" which is fair thank you I appreciate it but no two people have agreed on what accent it is which is also Absolutely fair and hilarious as a reaction to this film

[calamitys-child]

Cannot stress enough that I do not know what the fuck a foghorn leghorn is but literally a hundred people have said it to me so far so I'm assuming it's important to, like, Americans

[peachfromcmbyn]

[tricornking]

The idea that Foghorn Leghorn,

The Rhode Island rooster from Looney Toons, is one of the Elder Gods of America, is honestly fascinating from a theological and folkloric viewpoint

[lovetheirloves]

Pardon me, but he is a LEGHORN, not a RIR. It’s in his NAME. Leghorns are an Italian breed. And yes, he is an elder god.

[tricornking]

According to Foghorn's Tvtropes page:

Presumably, it's less that Foghorn Leghorn is a Rhode Island Rooster and more that he's a Rooster who lives in Rhode Island, possibly a Central Virginian Leghorn Rooster living in Rhode Island, though that implies a complicated and interesting life story that took him from Central Virginia all the way to Rhode Island

[lovetheirloves]

I would not rely on TV Tropes as an unbiased source. Wikipedia simple says his species is officially “rooster” and mentions a Leghorn being a breed of chicken. TV Tropes probably thinks the Cornflakes chicken is a RIR too.

[lovetheirloves]

I am potentially willing to concede he is a “barnyard mix” (cross between breeds) and his father, Harold Leghorn, was a leghorn and his unnamed mother was a RIR or other dark variety.

I love this site.

[lovetheirloves]

Sometimes it’s 1:30 am and you own chickens and you’re drinking whiskey in the bath tub and accuracy about iconic fictional chickens is the hill to die on, ok, and that’s why I love Tumblr.

[oodlenoodleroodle]

I'm gonna keep asking it: if the law is supposed to be the same regardless of gender, what is legal gender needed for if not treating people different based on their gender?

ooh rebloging for that last comment, so on point ily thank you

[nietp]

I went to a bookshop and I got dizzy at the amount of books on stuff like “astrological feminism” “reclaiming womanhood through numerology” and all that shit…… One was called “cosmic fanny” or for my french speakers out there, “foufoune cosmique”. I think the fight against patriarchy is going really well

[tepot]

“But I didn’t and still don’t like making a cult of women’s knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men don’t know, women’s deep irrational wisdom, women’s instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior – women’s knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think?”

Ursula K Le Guin, from What Women Know

One night we had a thrilling summer storm… We hadn’t been in the house long, and it was the first time in this house we’d had to close all the windows. In the morning I smelled gas, strong, unmistakable. “I smell gas,” I said to my husband. “I don’t smell it,” he said. He had a friend come over. “Why are you having a friend come over,” I asked, “when it doesn’t matter if he can smell it or not, and none of us can fix it?” His friend didn’t smell it, either. I called the gas company. The gas company employee didn’t smell it, either. He waved his reader around and it blasted off in three places, substantial leaks behind the stove and in the basement. “Always trust a woman’s nose,” the gas company employee said.

Yes, I thought, believe us.

Then, No, I thought, I’m not a fucking witch. Believe anyone who smells gas. If someone smells gas, believe them.

A Simone from earlier this summer!🐉❤️

[ruffboi-mags]

there is a show on netflix called “Old Enough” that is (apparently) a well-loved reality show in Japan, where teensy teensy kids go on errands alone (except for the camera crew) and y’all. Y’all I needed this adorableness in my life. It’s so precious. FUCK.

[anais-ninja-bitch]

say more now please

[knitmeapony]

I am not the OP but I need to also express my delight for this show. They are very simple errands, like walking down to the corner store and picking up some milk. The kids are given everything they need, a list if they can read, money, a bag, Etc, and they’re safe the entire time because the camera crew is constantly keeping an eye on them. None of these kids are pushed too hard, they are all curious or stoked or honored to be given grown-up tasks, I’m pretty much everyone who interacts with them is that her delighted at the tiny business people doing their errands, checking in to make sure they’re all right, or actively helpful getting stuff down from shelves and stuff. The kids are determined and the very high success rate is heartwarming.

There’s something absolutely lovely and heartwarming about watching a five or six year old clearly going through a mental process deciding whether or not they should buy the bread they’ve been sent to buy or the chocolate bar literally at eye level at the checkout, deciding quite firmly to do the correct thing, and being very proud of themselves the whole time. Shouldering a bag with a single shirt in it from the dry cleaners like they’re carrying the ring up Mount Doom and making a beeline home.

If you ever have a night where you just need a win, a little serotonin to make the day go by, I highly recommend turning an episode on.

[ruffboi-mags]

Also like, I just watched a little 5ish-year-old girl go to the fish market and get bream instead of shrimp like she was asked, but she got home and her mom just laughed a little and told her she’d done a wonderful job, like. It was SO PURE. She asked her mum if she’d been lonely while she was gone and mum was like “I was a little” it was just.

I could die it’s SO CUTE.

Favourite scene from Wayward Son for Simon’s birthday!

Can’t stop thinking about how this is Simon’s love language in a nutshell.

When Harry meet Teddy, a little rough comic.

And yes the stuffed animal is a wolf because I thought it will be funny.

First time drawing a baby, a really stressful moment.
