Yes the AO3 omega April fools joke was exceptionally funny but actually seeing AO3 on April 2nd without a beta status is sending me.
What do you mean it’s not in beta anymore? Isn’t that it’s thing? Just to exist in a perpetual state of almost ready. Do I too need to grow and change and become an actualized product? I am not ready.
A missed opportunity was for us to see Julian get back from his lunch with Garak, looking all pleased with himself, walking into his quarters. Y’know, it’s been a long day. He takes off his boots, his jacket, gets out an actual notebook and writes something down. Then we see him rip it out and go to his closet where he dramatically sweeps all his identical uniforms out of the way to get to the back wall where he has a Pepe Sylvia red string board titled “WTF IS GARAK”. He push pins in the paper he just wrote on that reads “has maybe A Mom????” because he’s fucking determined to figure out Garak and this is what he got during lunch today.
omg
Opera plot: Local Noble realizes that his affections for Pretty Village Girl have a rival in the form of Honest Laborer. Having read enough romances to know that a girl asked to choose between a rich man and a poor man will always pick the poor man, whereas in a love triangle between two rich men it's anyone's game, he decides that his chief object must be to elevate his rival's wealth and status as quickly as possible. What the Compte de Genre-Savie over here forgot to account for, however, was the overwhelming power of the Pygmalion Effect, and now he has to deal with watching two people he's in love with develop ever-stronger feelings for each other. Eventually all of this resolves via...I don't know.
#first of all: ''comte de genre-savie'' is PERFECT. just great. absolutely no notes.#I would love an opera with this exact plot. bonus points if the comte is genuinely genre savvy#he keeps bringing up opera tropes only for the other characters to look at him like he's insane.#the score is diagetic to him; when he points out reoccurring themes or transitions to minor keys#the other characters ask him what the hell he's talking about. the whole chorus gets together to sing about how#comte de genre-savie is going mad. the comte tries to sneak away and keeps getting pulled back in.#I wonder if you could even push it further - have it so that only the comte can speak or 'hear' spoken words;#all other characters communicate in recitativo secco or formally composed songs#then you can have scenes where the comte is speaking but the other character in the scene can't hear him.#this can be played for laughs (the comte tries to order something from a shopkeeper; the shopkeeper walks away as he's talking)#and for dramatic effect (the Honest Laborer is singing a heartfelt duet with the Pretty Village Girl#and neither of them can hear the comte saying 'I love you' in between their lines)#........I am into this actually. I had to convince myself that this wasn't just cyrano de bergerac but no. it isn't. I'm into it.#upon the stage (via @notbecauseofvictories)
I read this one story once, no idea what it was called, where there was a girl in love with a poor man who also had a rich suitor. Her father was rich in his own right, and didn't have access to the men's finances but wanted his daughter to marry as rich as possible.
She pointed out to him that it's not always easy to tell how rich people are on a limited timescale; some wealthy people live frugally by choice, and a poor man can borrow a great deal of money to impress a girl's family if he feels like he's being investigated for such a thing. Tracking down their friends and interrogating their social circles would be a faux pas and very time consuming. The best way to tell, she suggested, would be to give both men a massive gift of money and see what changes it made to their lifestyle. Someone who already has lots of money will probably not think that much of the gift and not change much, whereas to a poor man (even one borrowing money to look temporarily better off) it would make a huge difference and the increased standard of living would be clear. That way, he gets a good idea of how wealthy the two suitors are and instead of looking nosy and money-obsessed, he looks incredibly kind and generous.
The father praised this ingenious strategy and gifted both men a huge sum of money. The daughter eloped with her true love the next day, now that they had enough money to start a new life together somewhere else.

We saw Goody Proctor posting HP fanwank during Strikethrough 2007, and Satan had nothing to do with it.

i'm seeing a lot of elderly and midle aged women with purple hair around lately and i think thats beautiful so i made a meme about it
My hair is about 1/3 light gray (some of it's gone white enough that I can't see it when a strand falls out, unless it lands on black clothing) and 2/3 medium brown.
When I dye my hair magenta or blue or something, the brown hair looks darker with a tint of the crayon color. But the grays take the color super brightly.
Sometimes growing older means getting pre-ombré-ed.
My gray hair is a near perfect witch’s streak and takes dye BEAUTIFULLY.
How old were you when you met a Jewish person for the first time?
I've known a Jewish person since I was born (family/myself/etc)
8 or younger
9–15
16–21
22–29
30–39
40–49
50 or older
I've never met a Jewish person that I'm aware of
We ask your questions anonymously so you don’t have to! Submissions are open on the 1st and 15th of the month.
jesus fucking christ 20% of you people have never MET a single jew in real life???
I'm honestly surprised it's as high as it is.
I know people who think they've never met a non-Christian.
By the time my dad went to college, he had never met a CATHOLIC.
He then met and married my Jewish mom in grad school, so there’s always time!
hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset
the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years
taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult
at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)
'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65
it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age
it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.
you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.
young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!
there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big
Yuri Gagarin, the hobbyist photographer, at home with his wife.
Yuri Gagarin being identified only as an amateur photographer and not literally the first human in space has me on the floor
This is a good reminder that there is a lot of texture and complexity to people; every human contains lots of aspects that would be completely unrelated if not for the fact that the same person experiences them. It’s easy to forget this, and compress the people you meet into a caricature; even celebrities usually end up being famous for one thing alone. But even something as glorious as the first space travel by a living human does not fully encompass a life.
This, too, is Yuri.
This, too, is Yuri.
Wait while we’re all being unhinged about, like, stew. We all obsessed over the Joy of Cooking as children right. Right
The Joy of Cooking is a cookbook written by a committee of midcentury American goofballs who weren’t sure if your life circumstances were going to call for cooking woodchuck, wedding cake, or both at the same time. But the one thing they could arm you with? Unshakeable confidence and a wine pairing. Absolutely demented manual for living, 100% recommend imprinting on it as a child.
YES our first stop will be the Backpacking menu. We find it incidentally next to THE weirdest vintage things to do with bacon. Hello, bacon and rice custard. Why are you, somehow, a small act of violence in our day. We then see the actual menu with its genuinely extremely useful information including “welcome extra munch items.”
Referencing here also, useful information about building fires, which leads you to the Ritual Psychic Incantation of Massachusetts to determine what setting an open fire is on. This spell is to be performed nonverbally. and Mississippi will also do if you are a coward. Do NOT use anything except a US state!!!! Memorise this fact diligently as you may need it later
finally what other menus do we have, you ask? Normal ones of course
Lots of people asking “is this the one with the squirrel/rabbit diagrams” of COURSE it is that one
“Does it really have woodchuck”
Yes of course. Take one (1) woodchuck
Shout out to @arthurwilde for pointing out this is the one with the recipe for opossum that starts by first keeping the opossum as a lil pet.
File that under recipes you don’t need to make tiktokers try
@tartsandcrafts OH MY GOD
I have a vintage copy with the squirrel diagrams but fun fact: The Joy of Cooking is about 900-1000 pages. In braille, it is 30 volumes long. Volumes.
Oh NO! And this is a book with so many references and cross references that it’s almost unusable as-is!
Forgot to come back with a shot from my work. These are braille volumes of the Joy of Cooking
I am so excited by this, thank you so much for sharing!
In storage I have the Windows CD-ROM of Joy of Cooking. If anyone knows how to extract the database files in a usable way that might be helpful
Also, this is the original cover image
Note: there is no cooking referenced in this image. The joy is in smacking things. A water-dragon is there but we’re not exactly aiming for it and it looks friendly. This is because Irma knew we’d be out here, fighting for our lives, every day. The actual recipes are indeed less important than knowledge and confidence. The water-dragon, which represents Cooking, is awed by the carnality and joy of the Chatelaine. She is sainted for this; her handbag is absurd, and represents keeping it silly. Thus endeth the lesson
@ingridverse - has anyone taken you up on that offer?
If not, then if you're able to share the files via Dropbox/Google Drive or similar, I'll take a look.
I can't find my CD ROM but fortunately someone uploaded it to the Internet Archive

i just want to one day be loved like elle woods’ sorority sisters loved her
they all simply do not understand why elle wants to go to harvard so bad... yet they help her study, grade her tests, motivate her and all around fully support her from the moment she decides to go and never stop believing in elle not for a single second... like wow name me one sweeter moment in all of cinema, i’ll wait
sorry to be legally blonde blogging on main once again but i just wanted to talk about how easy it would’ve been to screw that movie up. the entire premise is based around a girl doing the most to get a guy, the main conflict of the film is the one between elle and viv, elle and her friends are stereotypical girly girls, etc - all that is just a perfect setup for a kind of passive aggressive lowkey misogynistic film that aims at actual feminist themes but falls short at #girlboss. but it doesn’t! while vivian is certainly catty to elle at first the insults aren’t sexist, vivian is just threatened but the confrontation is surprisingly and refreshingly... levelheaded? is the best way i can describe it. there is none of that one scene that a lot of 90’s movies seem to have where the two female protags have a fight where they insult each other’s appearance and then latch onto each other’s hair and yell bloody murder. ya know the one. there is none of that, none of the throwing around lowkey insults to women left and right, and in the end it works out quite beautifully because the only character we meet who is actually outright sexist is warner, which sets him up to be a gigantic asshole without having to have him like kill a kitten or something. it’s clever writing! and for a movie that came out in 2001 to toe that line between empowerment and sexism so well and come out the other side an enjoyable story with realistic women that does not fall under sexist tropes and stands the test of time is very admirable imo
anyway,
This made me bust out laughing

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
This opens up a lot of possibilities for what a haiku can be
Hot take, but cis people have gender identities. They aren't the gender they identify as because of their genitalia or what their birth certificate says. They're only cis because they identify with a gender and it happens to match their government documentation. Cis men aren't men because they're "obviously" men for having a penis. They're men because they identify as men. It's the self-identification that dictates this, not any other factor, even for cis folks. And we should be framing it this way. A cis man identifies as a man and a cis woman identifies as a woman. There is no automatic or inherent gender.
You are not "born a boy/girl." Infants don't have a gender. You acquire gender when you identify as it. No such thing as "biologically a man/woman."
"I don't identify as anything, I'm a man."
It sure sounds like you identify as a man, bud.
Giving a brownie to cis folks who rb this.
Gonna admit the "this isn't a hot take it's obvious" comments from a dozen or so people are grating on my nerves, so I'm gonna address that.
Just say you've never had an actual conversation with a cis person outside of a very leftist circle lol. Obvious to you. To you, fellow trans person. I wish I got paid every time I had to hear a cis person say they don't have a gender identity or don't "identify" as anything they just "are" a man or a woman.
Sometimes you have to stop and ask yourselves what group of people a post is mainly directed at.
As a parent of a non cis child, I can say it’s legit a thing that gender identity is learned, and is not inherent. My kid was 3 1/2 and it was a lightbulb moment for them. We were in the car, their sibling called them by their assigned at birth gender, and they burst into tears and went ‘but I’m NOT?!’ And that was that. It’s been five years and they’re more emphatic about being nonbinary than ever now.
The other two kids then had a ponder about their own genders and mostly decided we had guessed correctly at birth. But they did have an actual sit and think about it.
Every parody of Star Trek TOS: “It appears we’ve once again crossed paths with our old enemy, Emperor Zorblax!”
Every actual episode of Star Trek TOS: “It appears we’ve once again crossed paths with our old enemy…fascism.”
