I am a too-old-for-this-site mom lady who likes to take pictures, draw pictures, and post random things about what I am doing. I don't care if you follow or unfollow me, this blog is completely for myself. I'm going to post bugs and rants and scary...

[blackwoolncrown]

oh also? An absolutely freaky thing I'm seeing yt leftists do?

STOP TRYING TO TRACK DOWN PROTESTORS THAT DO 'BADASS STUFF'. STOP POSTING ABOUT IT ONLINE.

PEOPLE FUCKING DIE.

AND IT'S USUALLY SOMEONE MELANATED.

THE GOVERNMENT IS WATCHING YOU FUCKING DUMBASS.

y'all are so stuck on egoistic heroism that every time someone does something 'sick' at a protest you wanna turn them in to the next celebrity to have a parasocial relationship with and then they go missing.

Tf is wrong w y'all.

[blackwoolncrown]

Friendly reminder that this man is fucking dead.

[crypticarchivist]

If you try to praise or draw attention to a specific protester for doing something photogenic THAT IS SNITCHING.

NO YOU *DON’T* KNOW THEM.

No children are allowed in the Library of Congress.

It's not that kind of library.

In other words...

You are being lied to

again

[madenthusiasms]

Everything published in the US is copied to the Library of Congress; appropriateness for children is not a criteria. Published under copyright is.

In order to read something in the Library of Congress, you must, in order:

1) Be 16+ years old and in possession of ID such as a driver’s license or passport to obtain a LoC card

2) Make an appointment to go to a reading room

3) Know what it is you want to read and which library building it is in so you can fill out a request form when you arrive.

So the chances of a “child” just stumbling over something “inappropriate” that was “put” there by the choice of the head librarian is 100% impossible.

Leavitt seems to believe that if she wears a big enough cross, God can’t hear her breaking the commandment against false witness.

When you've gone to school for a field that includes critiques (architecture in my case) it's hard to remember that not everyone knows how to receive and give feedback in that way and HOW INTEGRAL it is our fields. Hell yeah.

fitted sheet: nothing :)))))))

TSLA hit its all time high of $488.50 on 15 DEC 2024. To reach of a price of $114.00 would be a 76.7% drop. That's huge, right?

Yeah well, when I checked the price just now (12 MAR 2025 @ 1:31 PM EDT), TSLA is currently trading at $250.85. That's down 48.6% from the high.

Babes, we're already nearly two-thirds of the way there.

TSLA $114.00. I believe this is where I say 'like to charge, reblog to cast.'

Every week Severance is like here’s an hour of some of the most fucked up implications that have ever haunted your television screen, with some of the most gorgeous cinematography & acting you’ve ever seen, that will make you experience the entire spectrum of human emotion all at once. And then I have to go to work the next day.

[scarfarms]

NGL the cognitive dissonance of going to work as usual in this historic time feels like I'm already severed.

I'm an electrical engineer and for the longest time I was saying that electricity and electronics isn't magic, but think about it.

You literally have to collect rare stones from remote locations, put them into specific formations to work. All of this gets written down in symbols which don't make sense to the uninformed. It gets powered by energy which can not be seen in most cases.

Like what else do you want. What's your standard for calling something magic.

Oooh

[susellesie]

no dentist's office. no writing christmas cards. no taking flights. a world where every pain or minor annoyance is dismissed as your consciousness is replaced with a different version of you. a life without pain, or agitation, or monotony. and conversely, a life full of only that for every version of you who experiences the chores you wished to evade.

forget skipping work or school or birth. try everything. never experience anything that expires a negative emotion. the ideal consciousness sold as a product for the price of a version of you that you'll never meet.

but it doesn't matter. you carry the hurt down with you. in your hands, in your mind, your mouth. the grief mark experiences carried into his innie, gemma feeling the pain she experienced in the rooms even after she's been severed.

it doesn't matter. you carry it with you.

[scarfarms]

Braindump:

I just keep thinking about the implications of the door factory interview - work done when you're severed doesn't translate into useful work experience for YOU. YOU didn't learn anything at that office job. YOU were basically unemployed, and your job holds all your experience captive and doesn't have to share its training investment with any other employer. It traps you at a job even more than our current healthcare-as-benefit does!

Likewise, hard experiences in life are important for building yourself as a person! NOT HAVING THOSE will stop your growth as a person! Not feeling the consequences of a bad dentist visit will not help you practice better dental hygiene, not being able to tell the dentist that it hurts when you have ice cream (because you've never had ice cream) will NOT help the dentist help you better. Both innie and outie suffer. I've had sedation (roofie style) dentistry done to me where afterwards I didn't remember a single thing, but I still had ALL the anxiety before the visit. I still lived through the discomfort and then effectively ERASED the me that lived through it. I remember going in and I remember coming out and trying to pay, but I had already paid. It was trippy as fuck and I'm a little scared of how effective it was - and that wasn't even a severance chip!

A world where you cut out all your fears and anxieties isn't going to get rid of your anxieties, they will only adjust, Overton-Window-style, to cover different parts of your life. And you'll find other fears to explore. I imagine risk-taking behaviour increases in severed people as they try to feel something that has been cut out of them. To make themselves whole in the fraction that remains.

Why are we living, if it's not to LIVE?

*edit to add that this doesn't mean I think all trauma is good and you should be forced to grow around it and remember it! There's lots of nuance, even in the show, but my god they just wanna cut every single minor inconvenience don't they?!

I feel like typically the "dead wife" montage does nothing for me, even when executed very well, because it's often just like "here's this woman you'll never get to meet, she only matters because a man loves her so much and now he's sad."

But the montage wasn't just Mark's recollections. It was her perspective too. He's her dead husband. He's her Eurydice as much as he's his own Orpheus.

This isn't humanizing Gemma for Mark's sake. This is humanizing Gemma for Gemma's sake and it's there not for us to root for Mark, it's there for us to realize we're rooting for Gemma. Every moment Mark reaches out for her, she's reaching back.

The dead wife montage normally deprives a woman her agency, making her a tool for a man's arc, but this episode fully restored Gemma's agency. She's fighting back, she's yearning too. She hurts, she aches, she angers. She fights, she bleeds, she gets frustrated too. And has been before she was ever Ms Casey,

I've never seen a show restore a character's humanity as fully as this single episode did for Gemma. She went from an abstract concept--a wife, a severed employee, a ghost--to a tangible person.

And this was realized so literally as well. We literally see her bleed, we literally watch her eat, her hands cramp up, her teeth ache. It's like watching a hologram become flesh muscle by muscle, bone by bone.

I'm in awe of what they were able to do for her in just 50 minutes. In many ways, I feel I know Gemma better than I know half the cast.

I should have KNOWN that Tumblr would be the right place to go to for Severance theories and art and headcanons. I can't believe the lack of (nonhorny) fanfics on ff.net and AO3!

Folks I need more. I'm runnin out of podcasts and youtube deep dives. Season 1 I could handle on my own but Season 2... I need MOAR!
