Being a crafty person and making a bunch of things often prompts people to ask "oh wow did you make that?" And like, the short answer is: yes I did, but the long answer is: well, no, the pattern isn't mine, but I did choose and buy the fabric/yarn and sewed it together/crocheted it/knitted it myself. I used a reference for that drawing/painting, I didn't come up with it myself. That ceramic piece was insired by a poem and a painting made by different people. What I'm trying to say is, everything I make requires other people to make their own thing first, and then I get inspired by them to do my own thing. So I can't really call anything truly mine, because really it's just a bunch of inspirations and experiences of others (and me) put together by my hands. Does that answer your question

This yarn came from sheep raised in New Zealand and was spun by a woman in Peru. The pattern was created by someone in Germany. My needles were made by a craftsman in China and my stitchmarkers came from the lady at the local fiber festival.

I may have knit this sweater but it contains the souls of people from around the world.

i think it's actually really horrifying and detrimental that it's considered socially unacceptable to tell parents when they are making mistakes while raising their kids

iwilleatyourenglish

"don't tell me how to raise my kids" is seen as a good defense and it's so disturbing to me.

children are not your property that you can do whatever you like with.

giving birth or impregnating someone or adopting doesn't give you some inherent wisdom that means you can never fuck up.

and you shouldn't have the right to abuse or neglect or misinform a child just because you have legal guardianship of them.

they deserve to have others speak up on their behalf. i don't care if it hurts your ego.

iwilleatyourenglish

the vast majority of the time, it is all about ego and control btw.

a staggering amount of parents view their children as their property and see advice as someone trying to take away their "deserved" control.

a ton of them are more concerned with being perceived as a good parent over actually being one.

iwilleatyourenglish

fundamentally awful shit like corporal punishment, anti vaxxing, poor homeschooling, parentification, child stars, kids being kicked out of their homes or forced into cults... all of that is possible because:

parents are allowed to have legal and social domain over their children,

parents are seen as suddenly being imbued with innate childrearing knowledge just by virtue of having a child, and

it's socially stigmatized to voice concern over a child that isn't "yours."

so much of the world's suffering is caused by this shit it's crazy.

Me: So you remember in the ALTA finale when Aang gets slammed against a rock in JUST the right spot so his chakra is unblocked and it realigns his whole spirit & body and he is able to reach his full potential as the avatar?

My Chiropractor: What?

silversarcasm

i just fucking hate this culture we’ve created where its a bad thing to help people

like why stress “a hand-up not a hand-out!” whats wrong with a hand-out? whats wrong with sharing and giving and loving?

we are a social species, we thrive when we work together and help each other, this fucking capitalist hellscape we live in is not natural or good or the only way

It’s 100% racism. Welfare was popular when the common media image of American poverty was white dust bowl farmers and Appalachians. As the go-to image of poverty shifted to urban black people, public opinion polling for welfare and related social safety net programs plummeted. This has been studied extensively.

I love how this post implies that the metal music you hear in Doom isn’t from the game but actually emanates from Doomguy himself as he fights

Star Trek Into Darkness Deleted Scene - The Harewoods

spodiddly

so…this isn’t in the movie, but Kirk staring at Carol in her undies and Kirk banging two catgirls is clearly more important. Priorities of Jar Jar and Co., y’all >_>

thetrekkiehasthephonebox

And obviously clearly more relevant to the plot and Kirk’s character arc

tartapplesauce

What I can’t understand is that they wrote and filmed these scenes, which (a) do a very important job of fleshing out Kirk’s character as growing up and growing into his role as captain and (b) show us the family at the end who triggered all the events at the start, so that the little girl and her mother get to be more than disposable elements of Khan’s Roaring Rampage of Vengeance.

Then they cut these for the sake of ‘Kirk in bed with two alien chicks’ and ‘Carol shows us her matching bra and knickers’.

I genuinely don’t get it: if all they think of Kirk’s character is “ladies’ man”, why write these scenes? On the other hand, if they realise that these are important to the audience’s understanding of the characters and the plot, why drop them?

thetrekkiehasthephonebox

But literally though.

This scene was written. This scene was filmed.

Then someone sat down while the thing was in Avid or Final Cut or Premiere and said, “Nahh. This is BORING.”

Like seeing Kirk ogle a colleague undressing for the SECOND MOVIE IN A ROW wasn’t boring and redundant as hell.

But this crucial part of his character development? Apparently the audience wouldn’t care to see the maturation of the protagonist of the film they just sat down for two hours to watch.
