Yelling into the void

This is where I will eventually be dumping a bunch of my Dungeons & Dragons campaign information and other cool things that I find along the way.

been reading cicero's rant about words being given obscene meanings and i don't think i've ever seen a latin sentence that made me burst into such immediate and violent laughter before

[thoodleoo]

had a couple people be like "i have no idea what this means" so to clarify: the word penis in latin originally meant tail and only later got the sense of, uh. penis. so this is cicero complaining that nowadays all these hooligans are using the word "penis" for naughty purposes

After I came out as an adult to my childhood best friend, he went back to his family and told them and then when we next spoke he said, ‘we’ve decided this is a good move for you.’

My toxic fandom take is that I think that it's awful how much we can talk to creators and get answers from them word of god style. We should be out here in a godless place rooting for scraps of lore in the media like truffle pigs out in the fields

straight white people making a romance movie: haha what if it was illegal to have sex? wait what's lawrence v texas. wait what's mclaughlin v florida. wait what's loving v virginia

[ninewheels]

As preposterous and stupid as this fucking movie's premise sounded (for a light-hearted rom-com, and not The Handmaid's Tale) I didn't want to think about it too much until the movie actually came out, and then I could see if it was somehow more intelligent and subversive than the trailer let on, but guess what, it's even worse!

One Night Only review: Pull out from this sex-negative rom-com

If this is what it takes to get a rom-com greenlit these days, maybe we should just let them die.

Sex workers are thrown under the bus, shown only as thieves who fleece men in the woods at night, while queer sexuality is relegated to a few scenes with Allie’s roommate (a woefully underused Quintessa Swindell) and a handful of pans past blurry same-sex extras making out in the background. “This night is for the straights,” Swindell’s character says to Allie, before saying that queer people have worked around straight laws for centuries.  This is supposed to be a nod to queer resilience, but largely comes off as straightwashing the history of anti-LGBTQ legislation in this country that led towards raids of queer clubs and incarceration of queer people in the not-too-distant past (let alone the current barrage of anti-Trans and LGBTQ legislation currently in the works and on the books). It’s also ignorant of the long and fraught fight for the normalization of age-of-consent laws, which, by the way, did not happen in all states in this very country until 2003. Yes, that’s not even thirty years ago.  By the end, our intrepid protagonists have not had sex with anyone, because this is a film about Romance with a Capital R (and I guess sex is not part of romance!) and for that very same reason they ultimately embrace the fascist state of things. They aren’t the only ones who refuse to fight back. No one in this cursed film is protesting this mandate beyond “repeal” signs in various windows and some creative graffiti (...) (...) If we are supposed to believe that the film is making some subversive statement about the state of sex and bodily autonomy in this country, it cannot end with its leads embracing their chains. That’s just warmed-over conservatism running around in sheep’s clothing.

[nepenthean-sleep]

yeah i wrote this post having only seen the trailer, but jesus christ. was this movie a psyop LMAO??

also, for the unaware: mclaughlin v. florida was a 1964 supreme court case that struck down a florida anti-miscegenation law that criminalized cohabitation (and thus, as implied, sex) between white people and people of color of opposite genders. anti-miscegenation laws made marriage and sexual relationships between white people and people of color, most often specifically black people, a FELONY in several states in the united states up until the 1950s and 1960s. though it was already struck down by the supreme court, the state of alabama didn't repeal their law until 2000! there were THREE ATTEMPTS at codifying anti-miscegenation into the us constitution!

like yes, the issue here is partially straight white people's ignorance on the united states's history of homophobic policy, but it's also really important to recognize that arguably the majority of the issue here is straight white people's ignorance of the united states's history of codifying eugenics and antiblack racism.

the premise could have been interesting as a serious dystopian story, especially taking that history into account, but it wasn't written that way at all. this movie should never have been a fucking romcom making light of the violence the united states (and many other countries) has enacted on any kinds of sexual relationships it deems undesirable.

[nepenthean-sleep]

can y’all maybe reblog this version i feel like people are forgetting about the racism and just focusing on the homophobia

Someone asked me a while ago if I still had a photo of the worst sink I had ever seen while apartment hunting in Los Angeles. I assumed I deleted it so I didn't answer the ask and now it's gone, but as it turns out, yes, I do still have a photo of it.

@jelloapocalypse

I got nothing done at work today because I have been obsessed with this sink. This is very much a me problem, nevertheless I have Findings.

Some astute tumblrinas (to whom I am indebted for the waste of an afternoon) noted the knob had the name of the Italian design company Ritmonio. My wild goose chase through all the products on their website yielded nothing like this sink.

I had more success with a reverse image search. This led me to this article by Leicht Los Angeles (a kitchen cabinetry company).

A basic web search for Sonobath turned up these articles by Kitchen and Bath Business.

Bumdada da! Dumb sinks galore! The sink in your photo seems to be a version of the Titus sink.

Yes, all the models of sinks have names like that. The model Hydros has the tagline "vessel sink or interactive sculpture? you decide." It looks like this.

Which, I'll be honest, looks exactly like the Ethos sink, but rotated 90 degrees and rocks added. Or perhaps it's the inverse. Who knows!

The genius? behind these "sinks" seems to be one Jae Omar. He seems to have transitioned from bathrooms to whole houses. He has a new website.

I have no point and no final conclusion (at least, not beyond "rich people have remarkably poor taste"). But I spent all day figuring this out and none of my friends have been appreciative of my efforts. So now I'm dumping it on to tumblr.

Everything about this damn post is so funny to me. The lighting of the arm from the flash. The posing of the arm like a dramatic death from a novella. The fact the photo somehow got taken still and looks this good. The subreddit name. The fact this guy really is built like crash bandicoot

[bramblepatch]

it will never not bug me that for some reason everyone agreed that the Backrooms is liminal horror when it is clearly megastructure horror

[bramblepatch]

listen to me. are you listening. the Backrooms aren't a transitional space. they're a self-contained, apparently artificial but inexplicably vast environment that does not follow human logic but bears all the trappings of architectural design. we have a word for that and it's not liminality.

[lanthir]

Yes this! Liminality is the ambiguity of being on the threshhold of multiple states. It *can* be spooky but it usually isn't.

There are so many words for the kind of things people are reaching for when they missuse liminal -- oneiroid, surreal, disorienting, uncanny, etc.

ok not only does mash validate our “stuck in a timeloop” jokes with its in-universe jokes, it also validates my truman show au jokes with the PA announcer’s entire inadvertently post-structuralist existence. we never see him. he’s never in Henry/Potter’s front office where we know the PA announcements go out from. he’s just a voice that tells you what to do and makes fun of you.

[uququ]

after a couple hours chopping dried sea urchins into tiny pieces with a razor blade you start referring to the razor blade as yourself in your thoughts. a little while afterwards you'll inevitably think something along the lines of "i'm getting a bit dull, i'm going to have to throw myself out & get myself a new self" at which point your internal monologue has pretty much returned to baseline
