i have a story for you, tumblr. last year my coworkers and I were riding in a golf cart at a music festival passing out drinks to people, because the festival had been cancelled that day and everyone was trying to make the best of a bad situation. after some time we spot a guy on the other side of the road dressed as lord farquaad, walking alone. we yell, “LORD FARQUAAD! DO YOU WANT A DRINK??” dude yells an affirmative, walks into the road without looking, gets hit by a fucking car, and goes flying.

I really need you to picture a lord farquaad being dummy yeeted into the air by an incoming vehicle while a golf cart of inebriated, glitter and mud plastered coworkers are full-on horror movie screaming together. before we can even process this, lord farquaad gets up like 🤪 how bout that drink?? completely okay, utterly unphased, red hat and bob wig still locked the fuck in. we check on him several times, all talking over each other, and while he’s calmly and pleasantly assuring us he’s fine, he passes each one of us a tiny jesus figurine. he bestows a “god bless you all” and then resumes his jaunt, drink in hand.

after that we drove in total relieved hysterics, the kinda laughter that only happens when you narrowly avoided catastrophe. and i have NO idea if the driver that hit him even said a word because my entire consciousness in that moment was farquaad, there was only farquaad. I hope that he reads this one day and knows that he is STILL talked about and regarded as some sort of festival cryptid. we are blessed indeed

I def think everyone should carry a healthy amount of skepticism in an age where virality is often more prioritized than the truth but!! behold, a piece of my workplace’s holiday mailer. my coworker is the designer of this mailer and she included all sorts of references to our experiences in 2025. she was one of my coworkers on the golf cart with me and of course, included an ode to farquaad

sometimes magical and weird things do really happen

One thing about the mbta red line is that it’s not going to work 💔

Especially when you are trying to.

[kanonkitastuff]

Yeah but you get to feel like you're sitting on roller rink carpet while not going to work

[windynebula]

I'm gonna say something incredibly 30-year-old and I'm going to ask you to not judge me while I'm trying to be genuine and real. Okay? Here's my truth.

A piece of lettuce can really elevate a sandwich. The fresh crunch? Unrivaled. Peak. Poetic cinema.

Pros of re-reading your own fic

a good time;

Has exactly the tropes you like and the characterization you want to read;

Gratification: yes you did finish a thing and yes you did do good;

just a very fun time all around.

Cons of re-reading your own fic:

Is that another TYpO

Do you have any advice about where to publish original fiction? Not like publishing a book, more like AO3 for original works. Remember when we used to have fictionpress...? I know AO3 has an original works section; is that worth checking out?

Thank you in advance if you have any information! ^^

haha, I am unfortunately not the person to ask about this, because all my attempts at publishing original works (short stories, etc) have been rejected by lit mags over the years, so my response would have been "AO3 original works tag," which you already got on your own, or "hosting your own Wordpress/website" 😅 I know derinthescarletpescatarian does the latter, maybe they've posted tips somewhere along the line!

[kanonkitastuff]

I've read a few books that started in the original works tag on AO3. Winter's Orbit by Everina Maxwell, for one. You gotta make sure and promote yourself with consistent posting elsewhere tho or no one is gonna find your stuff.

by default i dont understand people with boobs who argue against freeing the nipple and think top nudity is shameful. but ESPECIALLY i dont understand it when you live somewhere where temperatures can exceed like 80F. youre telling me you havent ever wished it was socially acceptable to walk downtown with your tits out when its hot outside. youre just okay with having to wear shirts in all weather and this doesnt bother you. i simply do not believe you............

[kanonkitastuff]

Yeah, shame should have nothing to do with it. The valid reason for wearing a bra in 80F and 90% humidity is so it can soak up the underboob sweat. 😤

I honestly wish they made lower coverage bras with this express purpose. Like sports bras are good for it but they're also designed to keep everything in place which means that they cover up a lot more and can be stifling in the heat sometimes.

[segamascott]

he seems to be doing a pretty good job tbh

[kanonkitastuff]

Time to form the counter cult whose mission is finding this guy and ending him.

[shamebats]

"men will pretend to be trans to enter women's spaces and flash them" is such a wild belief to hold considering how, when I was a teenager, there was a guy in the city where I went to school known for wearing trench coats with nothing underneath and hanging out near schools specifically so he could flash young girls. After school, in broad daylight, in public. And later on I learned from a classmate's mother that he had been doing this at least since she was a school girl. One time, he was straight up jerking it at the main bus station and all we could do was pretend not to see him. Again, in the middle of the day. Nobody ever did anything. He could just do it. At worst, the cops would come and scold him but considering how long it had been going on for, it obviously never stopped him for long.

Men don't have to plot elaborate schemes to be creeps and violate women and children. They truly don't have to. They can just do it out in public and worst case scenario they'll be known as "the local pervert" and get the "missing stair" treatment by the entire community.

[kanonkitastuff]

Very true. 100%. Being a creep to women is super easy for most men. Lots of women and girls live with a creep right there in their household who can walk into their bathroom whenever he wants.

And also, I am so curious about the legal system where you live now. Like.... Exposing yourself to minors (let alone committing a sex act in public) is a felony almost everywhere in the US. They'd probably hit him with aggravated public indecency and endangerment of a minor. The first incident might just be a fine depending on which state, but repeat offenses would almost definitely mean jail time.

Is public indecency not a crime where you live or do the police just never bother arresting anyone for it???

[baraphalloplastyclinic]

I actually do think we should discourage women from becoming housewives. Do not become financially dependent on a man. That's how a lot of women ended up dead over the years. A man gets violent suddenly and you have to choose between homelessness or potentially dying at his hand because you have an enormous gap in your resume and no degrees or certifications or anything that will help you pursue a career that will allow you to be financially independent. He owns your bank account. His name is probably the one on the car. Try and leave and he can report it stolen. Where will you go then?

Don't become a housewife.

[kanonkitastuff]

Despite all this, there are going to be people who become stay-at-home partners either because they did the math on childcare vs their salary and realized it didn't make financial sense to keep working, or they have health issues that make a 9-5 job untenable, or they genuinely want their fulltime job to be managing a household and raising kids.

For those people, there are things you can and should do to protect yourself in this situation.

One option is that, if you do want to be a housewife -- or a househusband or a housethem -- your partner HAS to pay you a salary equal to what the going rate for someone doing the equivalent amount of work in your house would be. If your partner cannot afford this, then they cannot afford a housespouse.

The alternative I've seen suggested elsewhere for cases where maybe one partner needs to stay home with the kids because childcare is too expensive, is managing finances in a way that EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR that comes to ANYONE in the household is considered SHARED INCOME regardless of who earned it or how, and ALL of it gets put first to shared expenses that you have agreed upon as necessities, and then the remainder gets divided evenly into personal accounts. Again, if your partner is not willing to do this, then they are not safe for you to be a housespouse for.

Have these conversations BEFORE you enter a situation of dependence. Get it in writing. Do not accept the idea that written contracts kill romance. When you are financially dependent on someone else, that is not about romance anymore -- it's a financial and economic partnership, and you should treat it like one. Get. That. Shit. Notarized. A partner who doesn't want to is NOT SAFE for you to be financially dependent on.

And if you really want to be a stay-at-home partner, please, please PLEASE get involved in community activities. Start a book club, join the PTA at your kids' school, volunteer at a food bank -- something! Not only does this give you community connections that will help protect you from a lot of bad situations that stay-at-home partners often find themselves in, but it gives you experience you can put on your resume in the quite likely case that you need to go back to work at some point.

Saw someone on Instagram saying that if you're on T you should take men's multiviatims and if you're on E you should take women's multivitamins. And I can see how someone could come to that assumption, if you thought that vitiam intake needs were affected by hormone levels.

However that's not really the case, at least not when it comes to the sort of vitiams in a multiviatim.

The main difference is that "women's" multiviatims have iron in them to help make up for presumed monthly bloodloss. And "men's" multiviatims will sometimes have antioxidants that /could/ help with prostate health.

If you don't experience a menstrual cycle that features uterine shedding and consist monthly bleeding, then you shouldn't take multiviatims that are marketed as "women's", becouse if you use them longterm you'll end up suffering from secondary iron overload which can cause liver, heart, and pancreas damage.

To my knowledge, the antioxidants in "men's" multivaitims are not harmful to people who don't have a prostate. It's also might be good to remember that trans men on Testosterone for at least a year do develop prostate tissue (it's just not in the same spot). That being said, the antioxidants in men's vitiams aren't medically proven or assessed by the FDA as being beneficial to the prostate tissue - and what studies that do exist certainly don't include transmasculine people in testing, so really it's more 🤷 🤷 🤷

Anyway, basically:

If you're postmenopausal, if you're on T and it has stopped your menstrual cycle, or if you have a condition that makes it so you don't bleed every month, or if you're a trans woman or otherwise transfem then you probably don't want to be taking multiviatims that are marketed towards women, to avoid secondary iron overload.

And if you're on T but you still have a consistent menstrual cycle, you /might/ want to take multiviatims that are marketed towards women to make up for the iron loss during uterine shedding. Though this probably is only necessary if you are a heavy bleeder or someone who bleeds more days then the average.

Now - if you're transfem and having to take multivaitims marketed as "men's" makes you dysphoric, or if you're transmasc and having to take multiviatims marketed as "women's" makes you dyphoria, of it your transneutral and hate any gendered marketing in general. There is good news.

Adult multiviatims, which are marketed as just "for adults" provide a good baseline amount of vitiams that every person needs regardless of gender, with no iron and none of the antioxidants that are sometimes added to men's vitiams.

You can just take those, they're usually cheaper then the gendered ones. And if you think you need more iron, just buy a bottle of iron supplements (talk to yourd doctor or OB/GYN first) or eat more high iron veggies during your period. And if you're concerned about your prostate health then you should talk to a doctor instead of taking an antioxidant about it!

[kanonkitastuff]

In general, talk to a doctor before starting a supplement. Most people can get everything they need for way less money from their diet and just like 15 more minutes of sun exposure a day. You will probably spend less to see a doctor and find out specifically which micronutrients you might need to supplement than to keep buying multivitamins. And if you're VERY deficient in something, your doctor might be able to write you a prescription for the supplements and then your insurance will cover it.

Just saying.

The supplement business is a huge grift and does not deserve any money you don't absolutely need to give them.

[vyvilha]

the thing about self-diagnosis is that to have an official diagnosis you HAVE to self-diagnose yourself first and write down all your symptoms and then present them to the psychiatrist like you are defending it on trial otherwise if you go to psychiatrist unprepared and just say you feel miserable all the time and don't know why they will say "ummmm uhhhhh you probably have anxiety. probably just stress from your work lol"

[fruitypieq]

Quick what are you doing RIGHT now (besides scrolling Tumblr)

[what-even-is-thiss]

I’m kinda surprised that nalbinding isn’t as popular as crochet and knitting tbh because it has an even lower barrier of entry tools wise and unlike crochet and knitting it makes fabric that you can cut.

I guess it’s because it’s slower or something.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Nalbinding aka needle binding is when you use yarn and a big sewing needle to make fabric btw

It also has a lot of different kinds of stitches you can do that make different densities of fabric.

Some people even make rugs.

[thewolfwaitsbelow]

I feel like part of it might be casual people are generally aware of the existence of crochet and knitting, even if they don’t know very much about either, but have never heard of nalbinding

[what-even-is-thiss]

Yeah I hadn’t heard of it until recently and I ordered a big bone needle for myself to try it out and that should be arriving soon.

I was surprised that I’d never heard of it though. It’s older than knitting and crocheting and even though it’s been done all over the world it’s super relevant to Nordic culture and my grandmother and I are both into keeping in touch with our roots a bit so I’m surprised I’ve never heard of it.

It seems like the sort of thing that would be popular even if not as popular as crocheting and knitting, considering the low barrier of entry.

[what-even-is-thiss]

You also don’t need a bunch of different sized needles for nalbinding or whatever. The size of the stitch is controlled either completely freehand or by pulling it against one of your fingers. Most people who have a lot of nalbinding needles seem to either have tried out wood, bone, and metal ones to see which kind they liked or they enjoy carving wood or bone and like making their own needles as an extra hobby.

It’s also a lot easier to freehand and adjust as you go than crochet or knitting and you mostly go by inches instead of rows and number of stitches so a large number of accessories like stitch markers or whatever isn’t really necessary.

Maybe the lack of accessories also makes it unpopular idk. People do like collecting things in their nests.

[the-color-of-sound-is-space]

I've been wanting to do so, I cannot find anyone who can teach me, and any books I can find on it are Ass in the Visual Learning department. Otherwise I'd be making the hell outta some nalbinded fabric

[what-even-is-thiss]

I found this channel by a nice man who makes up close tutorials

Happy Needlebinding

I create videos on YouTube to learn people how to needlebind using two fingers and your thumb. Needlebinding helps people to relax, relieve

[what-even-is-thiss]

I thought this would be kind of a niche post to make but I was quickly reminded that I’m on tumblr, the website full of gay people with one billion hobbies.

[what-even-is-thiss]

So my bone needle actually came this evening (yay!) and I’ve started trying this for real. It clicks in my brain way easier than crochet does. I’ve gotta work up the muscle memory but I think I can do this.

The downside as a beginner is that undoing mistakes is more time consuming than with knitting or crochet. You’ve gotta like sew your mistakes out backwards. Disadvantages of making a really sturdy fabric I guess.

I like the feel of this bone needle though and don’t think I’ll be trying the wooden or metal ones.

Also I think I’m gonna have to get good at doing Russian joining if I decide to get good at nalbinding because I don’t have wool yarn and the ends won’t felt together if it’s not at least 50% wool. A small price to pay for using big bone needle though.

Anyways curse of new fiber craft be upon ye.
