Happiness Will Come To You.
when tho
When You Least Expect It. Probably Late March
reblog for happiness to come for you in late march!
I reblogged this last year and I hung out with blink-182 backstage on March 30. Reblogging again because it worked the first time.
honestly, last year one of the best days of my life happened in late March
I’m really looking forward to late March!
This is the only tiktok you’ll ever need, I’ve made about 13 of these and I’m not stopping anytime soon
What a beautiful day to not be a cave diver!
This isn't a reference to anything specific, it's just that every day is a lovely day to not be a cave diver.
"Wake Up Dead Man", and the thankless labor of women
One of the things that stayed with me the most, was reflecting on traditional gender roles in the Our Lady of Perpetual Fortitude congregation and how it relates to religion in general.
Vera halts her life to raise a child she has no moral obligations towards. Simone is the church's biggest donor, keeping it operable basically by herself. Martha is the only employee handling administrative work in the church, keeping the treasure a secret her whole life. They are all endlessly devoted. They are all meant to be contrasts of Grace, the real "women of God," and in the end, it's thankless labor from all of them.
Vera's adopted brother is a selfish jackass who appreciates nothing about what she did for him. He saw her as just a free nanny to be "dumped" once his real father showed up.
Simone is being prayed on at her weakest and used as a cash cow, only to be told she can't be healed because she's a faithless woman.
And Martha only realises at the tail end of her life that her selfless devotion to a man and his teachings meant nothing to him. That he betrayed her the first chance he gets.
Wicks sees himself as blameless, has no standard for his own behavior. He's a disgusting, horrible man, who deserves none of their devotion.
When Vera and Martha realize that their whole life they trusted the story of the "harlot whore", only to experience the exact same treatment even after doing everything in their power not to be like her, that's the first time they can reflect on her, and when they finally realize:
"That poor girl."
they call it his achilles heel because ack! It killies him
They call it the Odyssey because it really do be Odd at Sea
if i came to investigate a case and the main suspect was named “judas duplicitous” i’d throw in the towel dude
Honestly I’m still bitter that the face of “internalized misogyny” is a socially awkward, tomboyish, usually teenaged girl (who’s blatantly coded as not straight lbr), as opposed to shit like queen bee adult ~beauty gurus~ who get their kicks and clout by viciously attacking other women for their looks, and make money peddling dangerous “weight loss shakes” to 13 year olds
The world is saved by a twink once again
Deserved victory? Yes
Weirdest voting in years? Yes

The midjourney stuff just reminds of when we were trying to find a new platform to host the ao3 donation form, and companies kept trying to tell me about all their "ai" features that would track donor engagement, and figure out the optimal pattern to email individual donors asking for follow up donations, and all the ways they suggest we manipulate people into staying on our websites. It was a great way to filter out who either wasn't listening to us when we described our ethics and donor base, or just didn't believe us.
Now granted ao3 is a unique case based on a) the amount of page views we get in any given time period and b) the fact that most donors absolutely do Not want to be identified as such anywhere, (the default "list of recent donors" module got nuked Immediately) but it surprised me some that the concept of "donors who value their privacy and would be furious at even the whiff of AI" is unique. Some of us really are just existing in different worlds.

The last part was kind of insane, honestly. When we started changing platforms for the donor database, I kept telling them that yes I was aware we already had an account for the volunteer database, and no that could not be connected to the donor database. And they said yes fine sure and then connected them anyway. And I called them back and said, excuse me, I'm confused, I can see both databases. And they said, well, yeah, but it's only you, someone has to be able to see both databases to give other users access. The other users can't see both. And I said, no, we have been asking for a completely separate database. I should not be able to see both. And they said, you are one organization, one organization can't have two databases. And I said, last year someone used our volunteer email list to commit approximately one thousand felonies. Please feel free to imagine how much worse it could have been had they had a way to use volunteers' email addresses to get their legal names. We do not want this to be something anyone can do no matter how much we trust them. Let me describe those felonies to you in more detail. And they emailed me two hours later and said, you can have two separate databases.
This post feels like watching an iceberg go by in clear water. The amount of stuff going on beneath the surface of AO3 just astonishes.
(ID in alt)
Approximately one THOUSAND felonies
what were the felonies?!?!
also AO3 is so real for protecting donors like that that's the kind of stuff that never even occurred to me when i was considering donating but i feel really safe about it now for when i am in a position to donate
Some "anti-shippers" emailed the AO3 volunteers a bunch of CSAM (which some of you might know by the less accurate term "child porn") to protest AO3 not censoring stuff that they want censored.

“You need tea” - you are having, or just had, a medical emergency. This tea will have like 3 sugars and milk in no matter how you normally take your tea.
When I gave birth they kept bringing me cups of very sweet tea until I drank one
Even when covered in blood and being stitched up
“Do you want some tea?” I’ve something to say and I’m nervous about it
“Do you want some tea?”

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
“I’ll put the kettle on.” Iy has been the longest, hardest, and most physically/emotionally draining day of our lives, tea is non-negotiable.
{ID - tweet from @/nickocdw reads: British Tea Translator
“Cup of tea?” Welcoming a guest. “Tea?” I find this situation awkward. “Spot of tea?” A foreign guest has activated Hyper-English, Mary Poppins mode. “Pot of tea?” Trying to impress in-laws. “I’ll make some tea.” There has been complete devastation.

“I’ll just put the kettle on, shall I?” = I will leave the room so you can dry your eyes / put yourself together / hide the sex toys / dispose of the body.
