Day 180 since Craig moved in. he clearly thinks he’s dating one of us but we can’t figure out who. it’s possible one of us is lying about it for some reason but so far our efforts at inquisition has led nowhere. we would kick him out but he’s been doing the dishes for us. we’ve decided that for the sanity of the polycule we’ll keep up the charade. if all of us continue to be flirty with him, he’ll project his attraction onto whoever the hell he thinks is into him. this house of cards is delicate but necessary
It got funnier
This is how cats domesticated themselves

the natural lifespan of a fandom is unlimited. when well tended a fandom can be functionally immortal. and yet everywhere you look you see newly bred fandoms withering and dying when they’re barely a year old. barely even six months old. fans are looking at their six month old fandoms and saying i think it’s on its last legs, should i euthanise it? when with the proper care that fandom could outlive them for decades. it’s sad. sad state of affairs we’re in.
I love you trans men. when I see you in public and when I talk with you the world feels a little easier. never forget this
This goes for all ages btw. I see you little dude even if your parents don't and I cherish you older men who smile and nod at me knowingly. We are knights in a beautiful order and the only flag we recognize is our own.
hey if you're not a mobility aid user, and you want a simple way to make public spaces more accessible to those of us who are, i have a tip for you:
push in your chairs when you get up from tables.
when people don't push in their chairs, people with bulky aids like wheelchairs and rollators can't get through. also a lot of people who use canes have wider gaits than able bodied people, and having a chair in the middle of their walking path is a real obstruction. while some of us are able to push chairs out of our way, a lot of us are not, and wind up boxed in/out because somebody didn't push in their chair.
so if you want to do something simple that can make a big difference in terms of like. navigating an outdoor food court or a cafe or what have you. push in your chairs.

Would you believe my favourite game of all time that I still regularly play is from 2009
Seriously though, the way some people treat liking media as if it has an expiration date is so weird to me. And three years is still so recent in the grand scheme of things anyway, actually!

Swarovski can continue to fuck off.
In 2021, Swarovski (the company that makes the very sparkly crystals you see in certain jewelry, on figure-skaters' twinkliest outfits, on red carpet dresses), decided they didn't want the grubby fingers of small-time jewelers, clothing designers and costumers and crafters on their shiny beads and rhinestones anymore. They decided to limit their sales to "luxury" and couture creators, not girls who sell stuff on Etsy. The tenor of their press release on the subject was snide and insulting. Resellers (like your favorite bead shop) would no longer be allowed to carry their product; the average Jane on the street would not be able to purchase them. You could only get them if you had an authorized business agreement that bound you to very strict brand behavior. And those of us who still had good stock of the crystals would no longer be "permitted" to use the brand's name in our listings for sale.
Every bead shop and craft supply place and many, many small clothing makers--wedding shops, prom and dancing dress suppliers, the sort of salt of the Earth mom and pop time machines of shops that are the backbone of the field--scrambled to find something that could replace them. The last of the stock dwindled quickly, all of us grabbing what we could get while there was any chance of it, and then it was gone and we no longer had any access.
I was Big Pissed about it at the time. It was just so goddamn stuck-up, when wholesalers and indie jewelers had made them so much money, when some people I knew--when *I!*--had been brand-loyal for decades. But with no recourse, everyone pivoted fairly quickly, most of us to Preciosa Crystals. Those are Czech, quite sparkly, and considerably less expensive than Swarovski. The faceting method they use is different, but not worse; any differences are hardly noticeable when you're seeing them as a hundred pinpoints of light.
Well, out of nowhere, Swarovski just dropped this: https://www.harmanbeads.com/swarovski-brand-policy-update
"Effective June 1, 2026, Swarovski updated the distribution and brand usage policies introduced in 2021. Businesses may now purchase Swarovski Crystals without signing a Brand Control Agreement, and Authorized Distribution Partners may once again sell Swarovski Crystals to resellers, including bead stores and online retailers. Businesses may also use the Swarovski brand name when following Swarovski’s Proper Use Guidelines. Designers, manufacturers, artists, brands, retailers, and resellers are now eligible to purchase Swarovski Crystals through authorized distribution channels."
They want us back. A lot of the companies who could have kept a brand relationship with them also have swapped to Preciosa, over the last half-decade, in solidarity with indie creators and out of a sour awareness that it could be them, next. And it doesn't hurt that Preciosa was able to expand their line quite a bit now that everyone who wanted sparkle had no choice but to go to them.
And I'm not seeing nearly anyone who intends to return. The feeling is, "Y'all told us to fuck off! Off we fucked! And now, that's what you can do, too!" I'm seeing a lot of "How many of us did you stab in the back?" comments from the people whose money they're hoping to attract.
And personally I'm sitting over here all rubby hands, mean snickering, because they really thought they were going to be able to outclimb the people who actually provided all their profits, and now here they are, hat in hand.
We can't post porn but tumblr can host ads of video game women sucking on animated ballsacks and pandas giving birth and people literally fucking with subtitled dirty talk sure yea
Why can i never come up with an alcoholic drink for Oswald to realistically be drinking at any given time. I just keep going "uhhhh wine, whisk(e)y, vodka if he's really in it now" like i need more than that because surely I can't keep repeating it over and over again
Sorry for incoming rambling, but I've been summoned because of Oswald and alcohol being in the same sentence. I've been thinking about if Oswald would like pálinka for a long time, like on a "im collecting headcanons" lvl. I'm pretty sure he would—if there's a way where it can be imported. I'm going off of the assumption that Janos/János (that's the Hungarian restaurant owner's name iirc) would be able to import it. Or, he could homebrew it, technically, but idk the legality of it. Though, it's Gotham so ehhh.—pálinka is an alcoholic drink that is fermented from fruit and is drunk with the goal of getting you under the table VERY quickly. It's kind of (?) a trademark Hungarian drink, but I'm sure ppl also have it over the borders.
It will have that "getting you drunk very quickly" effect especially if it's home brewed with the intention of it being strong, that's házi pálinka. (Throwback to the time I was in freshmen camp and our group leader made us drink házi pálinka in celebration for winning the competitive events. I have a high tolerance for alcohol, but that made my head spin. Let's not mention that I had a lot of spritzer and vodka b4 that...)
But also, other stuff I can name off the top of my head, is licorice (it's a hit or miss for ppl as I've found, because it's usually sweet) and rum, and also champagne, although that is moreso a celebratory drink usually. Vodka could be mixed w different juices, but Oswald doesn't strike me as someone who would want to dilute any alcohol w juice. If you would want him to drink smth less intense, spritzer is also there, and that actually tastes good. (we had to drink spritzers during the competitions in freshman camp during some games :] i really liked them).
Another headcanon I have is that he would like Irish Coffee, if I do go into the direction of him mixing his alcohol with at least something.
