her: have u been a good boy for daddy? me: No man earns punishment, no man earns reward. Free your mind of the idea of deserving, the idea of earning, and you will begin to be able to think.

soft call for zine submissions: "The Witching Hour Is Over" -- zine about moving away from/out of the popular "magic/witchcraft" trend. I was really into tarot during an incredibly unstable time in my life, and witchcraft vibes in general, and then moved away from it. so this zine is thinking about that, the relationship between popular/commodified forms of witchcraft, consumerism, feminism, cultural appropriation/invention and bending instead of breaking. I don't have a clear timeline on this project and I don't want to do a big Open Call. BUT if anyone reading this post is interested in these themes and would like to write/collage/draw a piece for the zine, please send me a note via tumblr or [email protected] with a draft or even just a description of what you're thinking about and we can go from there. part of why I'm making this post is because this is a personal topic but also a topic with so many possible points of view and I'd love to expand the zine at least a little beyond my own experience.

As a result of tonight's savage russian attack on Kyiv—one of the worst I have experienced—a dozen cultural, educational, and scientific institutions were damaged.

Pictured here are the Chornobyl Museum, the Institute of Literature, the Knyharnia YE bookshop, and the National Art Museum of Ukraine. Several schools, bookshops, and the Kyiv School of Economics were also affected.

Not to mention dozens—if not hundreds—of residential buildings, markets, office buildings, and coffee shops.

Yet many people will continue celebrating "great russian culture" as if nothing is happening.

absolutely looosssinggg it. i'm so obsessed with movies which portray the woman MC in a highly specific job because the writers clearly think it's like "off-beat" and "quirky" but have no idea how the field works whatsoever.

i decided to try a romcom i somehow missed i the 2000s 'head over heels' and i got 3 and a half minutes in and we're introduced to the lonely MC with bad taste in men as evidenced by her extremely short list of ex boyfriends, including her first boyfriend when she was 11 or something because i guess that's still relevant in her adult life.

so she's resigned herself to never finding love and prefers to ignore men to focus all her energy into her career.

this job is immediately presented as though it's for spinsters with no hope of ever finding a man.

the mc's lesbian bestie (whose first line involves her being scolded for being too sexual in the workplace, but moving on) points out their colleagues as evidence that they're doomed to a romance-less, sexless life if they don't switch up their shared career path. the colleagues are three old women, so-dubbed "the menopause triplets":

these women are presented as if they have no idea what's going on at any given moment. this is 2001, and presumably this is an entry level job requiring low effort and no experience.

then their boss bursts into the room, unceremoniously bumping a large painting into the door jam and walls, announcing that it's a new project for our MC.

our MC is thrilled to see the painting. apparently it's a light in the daily slog at her dreary job for loser women with nothing going on in their lives.

And that job is? Conservator of paintings (specializing in Renaissance) at the New York City Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The painting being handled like an old couch on its way to the curb?

The Bacchanal of the Andrians by Titian.

Her lesbian colleague who is presumably also a a highly trained & skilled curator finds it depressing that the MC is so excited about the painting.

it's a quirk unique to this MC that she cares so much about paintings, in her department at the metropolitan museum of art, where her colleagues find all that art business rather dreary. because we all know that's what conservators in extremely competitive museum positions are like.

[wizardarchetypes]

I'm not saying there can't be lifelong love in here somewhere but I also just feel like the monogamous heterosexual marriage you're fantasizing about isn't necessarily best represented by the bacchanal. and that's okay. but i do stand by that.

foster kitten update: the kittens lost some weight which is very concerning (healthy kittens should gain 5 - 7 grams per day) but it seems that the cause is Diva isn't producing enough milk atm (as opposed to kitten systemic problems.) so now the kittens get weighed and bottle-fed 4-5 times per day. they seem enthusiastic now that they've figured out the hang of it.

You really do get over it on a random day.

almost finished (still need to add decorative border and block) the baby blanket for my cousin. if I had more time I would basically redo it from start to finish because the tension in the first couple rows is much looser than the rest and i really hate giving people subpar handmade items, here's something that you neither want nor need but feel guilty about throwing out! however. perfect is the enemy of done, it's the thought that counts, etc. if I had even more time I would buy different colors of yarn. my dumbass was at the art supply store (limited yarn options) and thought, no I won't do dark colors for a baby, I'll do pastels, like this light blue, light red, and light pink. and then I made stripes in the blanket so now it looks very suggestive of the trans flag. also I'm like oh fuck there's too much pink in this for a Boy Child. however if anyone gives me shit I can invite them to make their own.
