Wait. Shocking and dismaying revelations befell me tonight. Still processing.

Did you know that if you intentionally start projects to use up your fabric stash, the fabric will be used up? And you won't have it anymore? Because you used it all?

Please be considerate of me in this time.

Dearly acquainted, I have forcefully gathered you here today to honor the impending last project of my favorite fabric, Deadstock Burgundy Silk Dupioni

You were bought from a deadstock warehouse in Chicago and the lady at the cutting counter warned me twice that "this is silk, you know" before cutting my requested yardage.

You had the perfect crisp woven drape with no stretch at all, and behaved wonderfully in the sewing machine. At the same time you were so lightweight you almost floated.

You had the most lovely color that cameras hate to capture. Obviously red without being garish or glaring, and it caught and held shadows beautifully without being too shiny. That subtle slubbed dupioni texture gave elegance and movement. In low light you almost glowed.

I boughy uou originally for Laudna, and already repurposed you into the sash, cuffs, and cape lining for Nana.

Now you have been volunteered as the lining for my Howl Pendragon fancy jacket. I will have enough for the jacket but there will not be enough left to cut out another project.

Thank you for your service, Deadstock Silk Dupioni.

Love is not a morally pure force that fixes everything. Love does not automatically make someone a good person to know. Love does not prevent abuse.

It doesn't matter whether or not they love you. The question is whether or not they're hurting you. You should not have to put up with mistreatment because of something they feel.

What difference does it make if they love you? None. Their actions are the same regardless, and you are valid for recognizing the harm they've caused you.

Do you take your dreams seriously?

No, I let them disintegrate upon waking. I do not care.

Yes, I ponder them. They are an important part of my waking life.

I am unable to remember my dreams.

hey white people . if u dont know how to pronounce an ethnic persons name *google it* or if its someone ur talking directly to *ask them*. dont fucking do that "erm i dont know how to pronounce but __" or "im gonna butcher this haha" or "im not even gonna bother trying" . ur not funny. do u know what poc think when they hear u saying that ? u sound like a loser asshole and we dont want to spend time with u . im so fucking tired of watching youtube videos about media from my country and hearing those phrases. im tired of people saying that to my face . i respect someone who clearly looked it up and is tryong but says my name wrong over someone who just goes with whatever bad first guess they had without trying. u have too many resources at ur disposal to keep doing this. for the love of god just Fucking Try. if ur confused Just Try.

I highly recommend Forvo.com, the website where native speakers of a language contribute their time and voices to read words and names in their own language. It is a fantastic way to expand your world, open up your ears, and it's way more likely to nab a hit than just googling.

[vampire-loving-vampire]

wow , I didn't know this existed, thanks so much for sharing the resource !! I will absolutely be using it now too 🖤

Artificial Condition:

Those are not the first two possibilities to consider. I had no idea what it meant. “All right, what are the first two possibilities to consider?" That it either happened, or it didn’t.

"If it's not true, it ought to be" - my mother's response when confronted with the fact that most of what Trump said was lies. She didn't care. She wanted it to be true, and that's what mattered to her.

Hitchen's Razor: "What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitchens%27s_razor)

"A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots on" (not sure who said it first: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/07/13/truth/)

If someone keeps pushing a particularly outrageous, upsetting version of a reality you know to be different, you should consider that they wouldn't have to push it so hard if it were true.

my that one friend that's too woke opinion is that in a similar vein to how you almost never see fat people or women without makeup on tv you never really see anyone experiencing incontinence issues unless it's a humiliating comedic moment at their expense and that's kind of scary

[valtsv]

like sorry to be the bearer of bad news but people piss themselves. when they're afraid. when they've experienced mental and/or physical trauma and their body needs a way to express that stress. when they've been sexually assaulted. when they get older and their muscles start to wear out from a lifetime of service. a not insignificant majority of people Will experience incontinence in their lifetimes and while there are steps you can take to manage it for your own comfort and others', there's simply no moral dimension to it whatsoever. & like i'm not saying every show and movie needs checkhov's bed wetting scene but we have seriously got to get more okay with acknowledging that somehow.
