I can't believe I've had this tumblr for over a goddamned decade. Queer. She/Her.

Truly I hate to do this to you all but; you can watch all the videos and read all the blogs in the world but you cannot learn to sew without at some point picking up a piece of fabric and fucking it up. No tutorial exists that will stop you at some point ruining this poor piece of cloth. The visceral act of holding a project and wondering where you went wrong is the only way to learn sewing; you cannot escape it. I’m sorry

HAPPY STAR TREK DAY! 🖖

STAR TREK premiered in the United States on the 8th of September, 1966 with the episode "The Man Trap". Today, over 900 episodes across 12 tv and streaming series, as well as 13 feature films have been released, with more still in various stages of production.

Love the concept of scissors. Someone was like, “a knife is clumsy for this task, what if I used TWO knives?” and they were right.

[vidicus3]

Specifically, two knives strapped together. Which is even more unhinged.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Oh no the knives are definitely hinged, that’s intrinsic to their function.

When Leverage Redemption does an episode that you’ve been wanting to see since the original series, and it’s as good as you hoped it would be.

New York Times workers are striking tomorrow for the first time in 44 years.

Tomorrow, December 8th 2022, stay off of the NYT website, don't listen to any of their podcasts, don't play Wordle, nothing

when you have plans in the morning you can still live an eventful & fulfilling life afterwards but when you've got plans in the afternoon? well that's your whole day

The cute girl on the subway can’t seem to stop staring at you! This would be great, except that her clothes are several centuries out of date, no one else seems to be able to see her, and you haven’t seen her blink. Not even once.

[onion-souls]

That’s just every girl on the Brooklyn-bound L

A stack of books that were either never finished, never published, or were destroyed.

Pratchett’s unfinished works were run over by a steamroller as per his wishes, Waugh set fire to his manuscript, Sappho’s poetry was burned by order of the Pope and Lady Wortley Montagu’s daughter threw her journals in the fire for being too incendiary, ironically. The others were either started or planned out but never completed.

“what’s the right order to read-“ NONE. Everything is awful. Shut the fuck up and start pirating arbitrary comics and then desperately follow the references therein to OTHER comics like a proverbial breadcrumb trail for months until you’ve cobbled together some sort of ramshackle understanding of the universe and then lie with conviction for years like the rest of us. No comprehensible canon we die like men.

I like fantasy for the escapism but by escapism I mean reading about people who's problems are worse and weirder than mine.

Google has built a stunning, searchable archive of 3,000 years of world fashion

It's an endlessly entertaining portal touching on everything from modern Japanese streetwear to the clothes worn at Versailles.

“We Wear Culture” is a collaboration between Google and more than 180 museums, schools, fashion institutions, and other organizations from all parts of the globe. It’s part of Google’s Arts & Culture platform, which is digitizing the world’s cultural treasures, and functions as a searchable guide to a collective archive of some 30,000 fashion pieces that puts “three millennia of fashion at your fingertips,” Google says.

But it isn’t just a database. Google has worked with curators to create more than 450 exhibits on different topics—say, how the cheongsam changed the way Chinese women dress—making the site an endlessly entertaining, educational portal filled with stunning imagery touching on everything from modern Japanese streetwear to the clothes worn at the court of Versailles.

i can already tell this has made writing for historical fandoms – the worst part of which, for me, is absofuckinglutely hands-down the clothing – much easier.
