I'm not a catholic and have never even seen one up close, but I think the pope should start excommunicating people on the reg again. Just start publicly going "you know what, fuck you, you can't sit with us. You're not allowed in church or heaven on the grounds of being JD Vance. Eat shit and go to hell."

Stir shit up a little. What's the point of being the mouthpiece of god if nothing you say has consequences.

[homunculus-argument]

it's rushed and ugly, but I threw this together about it anyway.

You were a god of textiles; respected, but generally considered a minor deity. But everything changed when mortals started regularly describing spacetime and reality as a 'fabric'.

BFL/ silk blend. What should I call it?

Okay just in case there's people on tumblr who were too little in 2016 to actually remember it yourself, I cannot stress enough that the clown sightings were a thing. That's not a bit that people just made up like pretending that people in camo are invisible. This is a real tweet from the time:

Whoever made you think you'd get teased for not drinking alcohol at parties was lying. You're their new supreme. You can go pick up more snacks. You can take care of the fallen. You can talk to the cops. If you have a car, you can drive people home.

In movies they always portray the sober person as a nerd but it's more like being a priest. Your lack of engagement in the carnal realities of the party makes you holy and powerful. You are a vital pillar of the community. A rock in a raging storm. Now go answer the door for the pizza man.

I mean obviously I would fuck a monster but more than that I would bond emotionally with a monster over our shared sense of alienation and rejection from a hostile universe. together we would explore our deep-seated fear of being inherently unlovable, and reassure each other of our innate value as sentient beings deserving of love and kindness. i will hold them gently, and wipe the tears from their googly eyestalk-tentacles, and something will begin to heal

and then we fuck nasty, im not a saint

Every time I think about what the New York Times did to Susan Doku, I get a bit enraged inside

[thyfleshc0nsumed]

In case you don't know, Susan Doku, inventor of popular number puzzle game Sudoku, was outed as a lesbian by the New York Times in 2003. Many have speculated this was done more or less to slander her to the public so their attempted purchase of exclusive printing rights for the game could be done at a much lower price. She actually lost a lawsuit against the Times, as it was not deemed libelous, given she was in a civil partnership with her now wife, Christina "Chris" Ward.

Susan also lays claim to the first recorded use of the word "polyamorous" in her 1994 essay "81 Squares"

[thyfleshc0nsumed]

UPDATE: The NYT apologized after 22 years and SOLD HER THE FREAKING RIGHTS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s really important that you guys click on a least one the links before you reblog this because there are people in the notes who very obviously didn’t click on any of the links

The thing about handspinning is that it's an expensive and niche hobby that is not marketable. There's a lot of skill and knowledge that goes into it, but we will never earn money doing this. We're all just doing it because we like it, and because of the fundamental human urge to make stuff. There's also something about the sound of a spinning wheel that feels really satisfying, like we're remembering all the years our ancestors spent making stuff, too, and I just think that is very cool and very human of us. (This is a handspinning blog now)
