if unexpected mental anguish can be called rest @lovesodeepandwideandwell - Tumblr Blog

Many of my friendships are like the platonic long-distance version of courtly lovers.

"I would treat you so much better than you're getting now! I would shower you with attention and gifts! But you're married in another state and I'm in disgrace at court poor materially and socially."

#do we know about andy crouch's definition of cultural poverty?#it's actually been so very helpful to me. he says being poor is about lacking power to affect a given sphere of culture.#for example he is courthouse poor because when he went to change his name it was very hard and he had no idea what to do #we are all technology poor except for a vanishingly few number of people #because we have little to no ability to determine anything about what happens to our technology. not even updates #i'm always looking for church and social context where my singleness does not make me socially poor. it's hard to find

Bonus art post feat. cushion cover I thrifted for 90¢

#this way i don't have to do the work of an art wall but i can still display all the small art and beautify the annoying column

Ok real quick guys how are we feeling about the dried flowers + candles portion of the apartment

#just messing with you i would never burn candles right here #they will sit here though when i don't want to burn them #the goal here was pretty much ''clutter'' inspired by putting most of this on the bookcase to keep it out of the way during the move #and then going huh i like that. more so.#also now i don't have to find individual resting places for each of these things in my limited decoration space

Brain to tired to make decisions + body too tired to do physical work = help

#wish i still worked at the museum. numismatics data entry is about the speed i could handle rn

The “encrapification” of the American pint — a chemist’s plain-language dissection

Really good article by a chemist on why most ice cream sucks now— it’s because it’s not really ice cream.

jmtorres

part of me wants to be like "do people really not know this" and part of me knows full well i only read the labels because i have gut problems and don't want to suffer

anyway i've had my eye on the fat content for years. actual ice cream made with real cream won't trigger my lactose intolerance, because the higher the fat content of dairy, the lower the lactose content. my personal tipping point is around half-and-half so if you make "ice cream" with with skim milk, the enshittification i experience is unfortunately literal

#wow this is fascinating

My upstairs neighbors (in the new house) have been out of town for upwards of a month now. My landlord hired people to replace the upstairs windows during their absence and has several times mentioned he hoped they would come sooner but doesn't know when they'll show up. My neighbors are reportedly returning July 6. The window people have been here for a portion of the past 4 days! They are still working on the same room and only that room.

I don't think these windows are getting finished.

I know it's only this one room, btw, because every time the window people come work here, they change the thermostat, located upstairs, from 76° to 70°, which renders it 64° in my basement, and they do not put it back at night so I keep having to go into the upstairs house and switch it back. Like a poltergeist.

#and why does this make ME feel guilty for messing with THEM???#also this morning they're working outside and i can hear them playing early 2000s worship music outside my window #at the same corner of the house still

#the neighbors have a 3 year old and i don't see them letting people build windows with her in the house for 3 weeks #based on how long this one window set is taking

Have lost my car key inside my car, a baffling conundrum

#i've looked so hard and nothing. but the car recognizes it's in there #luckily i have 2 and it can still be locked just with more beeping and button pressing #but still. what am i supposed to do here?

My house is so close to done and I'm NOT GOING TO WORK ON IT TONIGHT I am going to make cabbage pork and start the bear and sleep

lovesodeepandwideandwell

I lied, there are no more containers in my living room or extra things on my table and all my craft supplies are finally organized

#in my defense cabbage pork takes a long time to cook and i lack the emotional energy to watch the bear without ample pausing

DON'T BE SCARED BY HIS BLUE EYES

#the bear

My house is so close to done and I'm NOT GOING TO WORK ON IT TONIGHT I am going to make cabbage pork and start the bear and sleep

#i'm at the stage where i can imagine living here for good period and i want to do things like paint and mend #but instead i need to do things like organize one last shelf and hang 2 more pictures

I THINK WE CAN AGREE THAT THE PAST IS OVER

RARELY IS THE QUESTION ASKED, IS OUR CHILDREN LEARNING?

OUR ENEMIES NEVER STOP THINKING OF NEW WAYS TO HARM OUR COUNTRY AND OUR PEOPLE, AND NEITHER DO WE

YOU TEACH A CHILD TO LEARN, AND HE OR HER WILL BE ABLE TO PASS A LITERACY TEST

A HUMAN BEING AND A FISH CAN COEXIST PEACEFULLY

FOOL ME ONCE, SHAME ON…SHAME ON YOU. FOOL ME… YOU CANT GET FOOLED AGAIN.

DON’T MISUNDERESTIMATE ME

I’m a big fan of reenactment archaeology. I think there’s a lot to be said for recreating a scenario to better understand decisions made in generations past. Usually there’s an inherent logic to them.

Which is to say, that now that I have a baby of my own, I understand so much better the common cultural practice in which unmarried women wear their hair loose and uncovered, while married women have their hair covered and/or bound back.

I doubt it was just for modesty, oh no. No, my friends, I see now that the reason for this common practice of mothers binding back their hair is because there is nothing, I mean nothing, a baby love more than YANKING EVERY STRAND OF HAIR THAT COMES WITHIN GRABBING DISTANCE OF THEIR STICKY, SWEATY, AND IMPOSSIBLY STRONG LITTLE HANDS.

good science fiction does seem to be about not just the question “what cool technology will be available in the future” but “how will human culture be affected by cool technology” which is not uninteresting to me except that every science fiction writer seems to answer the question by saying “well, in part, people are gonna get really weird about sex” and that is the least interesting thing to me in the whole entire world
