This one hurt, her work had such a profound effect on my life, thoughts, and politics.

May her memory be a blessing

The fact that “dolls having a tea party” has stuck around in the public consciousness is fascinating to me.

Like, back in the Old Days that would be a way that women would actually socialize.  So if a girl had a doll tea party, she was imitating her mom / other contemporary women.

But these days contemporary women don’t have tea parties. So now, the idea of “dolls having a tea party” is an echo of an extinct behavior, only repeated and referenced because it used to be so prevalent.

So a Barbie in a big hat themed for a tea party is a bit like if they made Transformers that turned into stagecoaches and horse-drawn buggies.

At this point I've seen like three unconnected pieces of American media set in a superficially idyllic small town with a big fuckoff lake that functions as a liminal boundary between the Known and the Unknown and in which a major character attempts suicide by drowning, and now I'm wondering if the Liminal Death Lake is just a thing American small towns have.

Or y’know the dwindling relics of an ancient inland sea that once reached from Labrador to Texas that are so deep and so cold and so still that they’re notorious amongst locals for “keeping their dead” which is to say they’re the fated and inevitable final resting place for anyone who works them or works on them and you never get the bodies back all of which were central to the theology and folklore of the locals for thousands of years before The Cross arrived and which border 2 countries and several states and have their own weird weather patterns and really I could go on at length about the apparent magic contained in those Midwestern bodies of water but I think you get my gist

I think I've literally said this on a trogblog before but, as a native of the area, the great lakes are gods.

Lake Superior is notorious for shredding even OCEAN going ships. Those she takes into the Ice Water Tomb do not return unless she permits. If she feels so inclined, she annihilates the shore with storms reaching into hurricane status. Gichigami does not tolerate the unworthy, and barely tolerates the worthy. Those who slip under her surface will rest there, in the silent cold. She is ancient.

It's the fate of all Northerners to be blanketed by the cold in death.

clicking not interested on something used to mean they stopped showing it to you

I think some of the loneliness of autism is that you feel like you hurt people just by Interacting Wrong, but you don’t know how to Interact Right, and the more effort you put into it, the more exhausted you are and the more artificial it comes across (with the end result of people still being upset with you). and it’s not anyone’s fault for not liking Being Interacted With Wrong, and it’s not your fault for doing it so wrong, but it is very, very lonely.

"art is not my strong suit" and yet the sublime vibes captured by this evocative line work would only be ruined by any attempt at a redraw

there are four human activities and they are crafting, stories, math, and fucking around. whatever you're doing is at least one of those four.

you have to forgive the printer because it's one of the most machine-ass machines we interact with on a day to day basis. that thing says kerchunk. hardly anything says kerchunk these days. you can't get mad at her when she kerchunks up a little.

[digitalsymbiote]

Crazy that tech has gotten so bad that we're doing printer forgiveness now
