Advice I gave someone today was: 'do it stupid.'

She wants to learn photography. Do it stupid. Take a million photos. Don't think about why they're not good. Enjoy the process of taking photos.

Pick out tge ones you like the most and figure out why you like them. Is it because the subject is centered? Is it because you caught them doing something cool? Is it because the light made cool shadows?

Do it stupid. If you try to do it smart, youll get stuck. If you think too much you'll never get to doing. Do it stupid.

Holy shit

[quill-ting]

This is honestly how I started quilting! I had fabric, I had a knowledge of backstitch, I had a quilting magazine. I asked "how hard can it be?" and now here we are. Just have fun and give it a go!

Archery x flower arranging

This was actually really fun!

Anyway, don’t forget I’m still raising money to test a bunch of things in a suit of armour:

The Bluminarmour Project

Blumineck is trying to fun a video series doing fun and serious historical and fantasy testing in fitted plate armour.

Cows can sit in upright positions while resting. It’s a normal posture they use for comfort and digestion.

I'm having so much fun going through a bunch of Project Hail Mary fanfic (you people are writing it so fast) but I have to say very few people are committing to the absolutely bizarre things that would happen to language in the Hail Mary over the years. Like you take two social species speaking languages the other physically can't pronounce and stick them in a confined space for MULTIPLE YEARS.

These two are going to come up with absolutely insane ways of speaking. They're going to invent weird whistling words that they can both say because their little social brains want to mimic one another so so badly. Grace is going to start speaking in the same cadence as the translation software he wrote. Rocky probably simplified a lot of his speech and probably isn't speaking in actual Eridian sentence structure. Most of the science they discuss they both had to make up new words for in their respective languages. They're going to have inside jokes so wildly dependent on context that no one will ever understand them. I understand that this would be difficult to do in a fanfic but it would be so funny. Regardless of whether they head to Erid or Earth they should be completely incomprehensible when they get there.

[i-am-snowils-admiral]

@tarchives This is EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Eridians have really good memory and I don't know how their language evolves but I can almost 100% guarantee that by the end of several years Grace will have no idea what parts of his speech always existed and which parts he integrated from Rocky-exposure. Humans love robbing other languages for random grammar and phrases.

clicking Mark’s new video and him ending it with “I can finally escape the blood ocean and curl up into Ryan Gosling’s arms” made me put my head into my hands.

It makes me feel like this

I've said it before and I'll say it again. We need a "This is absolutely NOT mature content" feedback button on posts. You can report a post as missing a community label. We should also be able to report posts as having a community label when they dont fucking need one.

the best piece of relationship advice i ever got was “a relationship isn’t 50/50, it’s 60/40 with each party excited to be the 60”. which to me means that you should be with someone who makes you want to do more, be more, open your heart even wider. why WOULDNT you like making life easier for your loved one(s)?

For those who don't know: Ikumi Nakamura is the woman who was senior artist on Bayonetta, and designed the titular character along with Hideki Kamiya. Their greatest moment of bonding was over their insistence that Bayonetta keep her glasses on at all times. Nakamura cannot go to horny jail. She is the warden.

An Update from back in October I'm surprised wasn't added to this post. lol

[notbecauseofvictories]

"impulse buy" (noun) anything I have been low-key thinking about purchasing for 3 months, an item that subsequently spent 24-48 hours in my cart as I went through each and every state of grief, and which I then bought, in a desperate, the-guilt-can't-get-me-if-I'm-fast-enough rush.

[transmutationisms]

there's a certain rhetorical sleight-of-hand i often see on this website wherein the phrase "media literate" is deployed but what's meant is more along the lines of "sharing a specific interpretation of a text." the skills that make up media literacy have to do with the ability to understand what's being said in the text and how that message is conveyed mechanically. two people can be equally media literate and will still interpret the message radically differently if, say, one is a card-carrying marxist and the other votes tory. and that's not me saying that both are equally 'correct,' because i don't think that lol. but you can't resolve that type of disagreement by 'teaching more media literacy' (often a euphemism for economically inaccessible and culturally hegemonic university education) if you're ignoring the political and social interpretive frameworks and value systems that people are importing when they put their media literacy skills to use

[transmutationisms]

the corollary is that some interpretations of a text ARE reactionary, but often that's not due to 'media illiteracy' and in fact, the assumption that the university functions as some kind of enlightening force is itself ALSO reactionary and doesn't engage with the political conflicts that are actually at hand

[luckyladylily]

This queertember, let us remember that pride is about, first and foremost, being annoying as shit.

[luckyladylily]

Pride is when we remind people just how much of a Problem we can be if treated poorly. That we know how to organize and mobilize and for now we are choosing to use that to throw excessive parties and a parade bursting with enough rainbows and social taboo to send homophobes scattering like roaches in the light. That gay dude dancing down the street in assless chaps and a leather doggy mask waving a rainbow flag is a reminder that we can always go back to throwing bricks instead.

We're here, we're queer, get used to it.
