so many male characters are held back by the fact that they're not wearing earrings when they so clearly should be wearing earrings

“In my opinion, camp is simply a matter of doing things as if you are doing them. Diving into a swimming pool? Throw your arms heavenward and give it the full Esther Williams treatment. When you dive into a pool as if you are diving into a pool, as opposed to executing an earnest quotidian plop, the result is magical—that pool is transformed from a grody Band Aid–strewn chlorine bath into a veritable LAGOON! Smoking a cigarette? Perform the action as if you are a French existentialist.” — Simon Doonan, Transformer: A Story of Glitter, Glam Rock & Loving Lou Reed

We also got pics of this top I made. The embroidery is done after William Blake's "The Great Red Dragon and The Woman Clothed In The Sun". It's a little crop top with split sleeves I made off of a pattern I'd put together for a dress that never happened. At least I have this very fitted (to me) top pattern now though. I think this was about 5 months? It was my second long form embroidery project and it's one of only two where I used 1 piece of floss throughout to get the delicate color shifts of the original watercolor.

when you download a pdf and it's called like 1328723486basdf12.pdf but then you gently rename it to what it's supposed to be. that's forming a bond with a hurt and wild mythological creature and reminding it who it is.

Finnish idiom of the day:

välikuolema*

(lit. death-in-the-middle-of-things)

noun, spoken language, humorous

a period of rest after finishing a task, before starting something new.

”Hi iibis, I scored some quality oolong from Théhuone! Pop by for a cuppa?”

”Thanks! That would be lovely, but I just got home and need a bit of välikuolema first. Ask again in an hour?”

*ä is pronounced approximately like the a in ”can”
