I didn't take process photos but here's some details. I found this dress thrifting in high school (2013ish) and its proof thrifting used to be way fuckin better. I was finding dope well made vintage (this one's even union!) for nothun at goodwill.

Lotta seam ripping and hand stitching to get everything to lay right before i machine stitched and it was super worth it, you can barely see the pockets! They even lay really flat on my tummy cuz the dress flares n leaves room so I'm not squished like jeans pockets

Abs with tummy

ive said this before but it was on my old blog so I'm saying it again

dehumanizing abusers is not effective at doing anything other than make people think they're ontologically incapable of violence

[ajunicetryagain]

it's also creating a class of people who you can abuse while telling yourself that you're Good and Moral and Not an Abuser.

[kyraneko]

if you dehumanize the caught abusers then the uncaught abusers will use their humanity as proof of innocence

if you dehumanize the hypothetical abusers you create incentives for false accusations as a means of dehumanization whenever dehumanization is desired for other reasons

the wisdom ive learnt is that becoming part of a friend group 1) takes a long time and 2) involves a lot of feeling awkward and left out at first. there’s nothing terrible about this but if you grew up chronically lonely or have any kind of trauma relating to social isolation this likely feels Really Wrong and activates danger signals. but both fortunately and unfortunately it’s just how becoming close to new people works most of the time

[caydencrypted]

another thing that was not intuitive to me as someone who grew up an autistic loner: basically everyone on the planet is starved for connection all the time and almost everything people do is an attempt to reach out to another. most seemingly illogical interactions and behaviours can be explained by this. you have to take as many of these invitations as you can. even if you're wrong you still attempted to bring more warmth into the world

[kaiasky]

its terrible for any number of reasons, but i think if we invent immortality there should be an extreme sport called civilizational speedrunning where teams of 20 go into the wilderness somewhere and try and be the fastest build the first internal combustion engine. i bet you could get it down to like 3 years tops

[biggestzam]

The real trick is to eat seed heavy food before the speedrun starts so your first poops are halfway to agriculture already

[kaiasky]

i want you on my team holy shit

There is literally no circumstance where I support age verification to access a website. As I've said before I'm very much the "there's nuance here" person on almost everything but on this issue there's no nuance for me, it's awful and horrible in and of itself and it also sets an awful and horrible precedent

[traycakes]

I'm fine with "click here to confirm you're an adult" because it keeps people from finding it by accident.

I do not give a shit if the people checking the box are actually adults, and oppose any effort to confirm that they are.

When a cop pulls you over and asks what you’re up to, he isn’t interested in the goings-on of your day. He’s asking you, “Can you tell me something I can use to hurt you?”

When a hiring manager asks about a gap in your resume or why you left your last job, she isn’t chatting out of curiosity. She’s looking for a reason not to hire you.

Even when your doctor asks you questions about your thoughts of self-harming, they aren’t necessarily really asking you about this for your own benefit because sometimes they’re asking, “Would you like to be abducted and forcibly restrained for a minimum of a few days?”

The difference here is power. Power changes things because what’s associated is the threat of violence, direct or indirect. A guy holding a gun asking, “That’s a nice phone. Can I see it?” is not paying a compliment or making a request but giving a pretty direct threat while mugging you.

It’s not even autism; it’s just understanding realistic social dynamics.

Your landlord is not your friend. They don’t have to live up to their handshake agreements and verbal contracts. You should not be revealing information to them that they can use to hurt you, even if you think they won’t.

Snitching is not telling the truth, and covering for someone else by deceit is not lying (better to shut the fuck up, though). Because power transmutes social relations with the magic of violence, implied and direct.

The wimple - the head veil with the chin covering - was traditional in the Middle Ages for married women. Just like women in Islam today, in certain periods married Christian women were required for religious and modesty reasons to cover their hair.

The cloth that covers the chin was called a barbette, and had the extra benefit of hiding a sagging neck!

I call it a barbette because it appears to be a strip of cloth unconnected to the cloth on the shoulders and chest. If it were all one piece of cloth, it would be a wimple.

There was also a version with the cloth under the chin but NOT over the head, and that was called a gorget:

As you can see, the amount of hair that needed to be covered changed across the middle ages, though in general, married women were pretty much always required to wear their hair up and neat. Loose hair was considered to indicate either a “maiden” (unmarried woman) or a “loose woman”.
