the autistic spider =]

I am the most autistic spider in existance

[catmask]

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

[catmask]

this also goes for aesthetic or -core titles. 'y2k tank top' is going to get you resellers and fast fashion brands advertising to people looking to meet a current trend. 'thin strap crop tank top' is going to get you a diverse group of results and not upcharge you to hell and back

additionally, shop second hand when you can, second hand and thrift sites typically organize clothes by the cut and color. theyll be more affordable than a depop seller curating you a style to sell you

useful terminology for different kinds of clothing shapes :)

[cutabello]

here are more terms! these are all from enérie. it is a really good blog that has lots of fashion terminology and it's a good mix of menswear and womenswear! they also have a book as well compiling all their diagrams. you could also look into getting a visual fashion dictionary for terms as well!

Tags passing peer review, gonna share.

Anyway, homie is, like all wealthy white dudes, egregiously imperfect, but he’s definitely fucking trying. So in that regard, he’s valuable because he’s reaching audiences that you personally probably wouldn’t be able to reach, and if you find he has specific stuff on topics you need to persuade people on, he’s a valuable avenue.

As a research scientist who studies making very precise modifications/damage to glass with lasers, I cannot describe the level of sheer fucking skill and practice which must go into this.

I make the same face every time theres some documentary talking like "the ancient Egyptians believed the Nile river was sacred" and i'm like....well yeah? Its kind of like, the only reason their entire society exists? Seems pretty reasonable to me

[killhitleragain]

also not only is the nile river the entire reason their society existed, but the nile river is incredibly predictable. it has followed the same course for over 10 thousand years. it floods at the same time every year. there is no other river like it, and while obviously the egyptian scope of the world only stretched so far, they knew enough to know that the nile was special.

"Halloween adults are just as bad as disney adults" "Furries are worse than disney adults"

I gotta be real, I thought we were critical of disney adults for aggressive loyalty to a really gross mega-corporation, or refusal to engage with media that isn't for kids, not because people... have hobbies?

[lizluvscupcakes]

No no no, I totally see how you had that misunderstanding, but the complaint about “[blank] adults” is NEVER the very real and understandable argument regarding various corporations, it will ALWAYS be the weird belief that when you’re over 30 your interests are to include Job and Taxes and THAT’S IT.

#when it’s not ‘ew disney adults’ it’s ‘ew harry potter adults’#when it’s not ‘ew harry potter adults’ it’s ‘ew marvel adults’#when it’s not ‘ew marvel adults’ it’s ‘ew dc adults’#when it’s not ‘ew dc adults’ it’s ‘ew nintendo adults’#when it’s not ‘ew nintendo adults’…#look you get the idea#i could sit here listing examples all day#it doesn’t matter what silly thing you do to make yourself happy#it doesn’t matter if you try to enjoy that thing in as non destructive a way as possible#some jackass will look at you not hurting anyone and enjoying yourself#and make stupid judgements about your character without even saying hello to you

I've experienced this firsthand when exploring public spaces on VRChat. In the past month I've been told, by younger users:

get a job

I'm old

"unc", "boomer", etc.

Things that are innocuous in hindsight because teens don't know better. I have also been told:

I'm easily identified as an adult because I talk to other users with respect

I'm safe to approach when there's chaos/someone feels uncomfortable in the public instances

and that honestly holds more weight than any digs I get for my age.

I know it doesn't mean anything in the long run, but I sincerely hope that by being an approachable adult in public fan spaces, I can help mitigate conflicts presented to me, and I can be a physical reminder that, even when you graduate school and start to shoulder adult responsibilities, you can still have the whimsy.

[sillyysquid]

I hope no one’s done this yet
