Milestone day for Rutabaga! He's grooming and playing! He's managed to hold onto the "regular kitten" form for most of the day!

Whenever I take a long car ride I end up exhausted afterwards, and I'm always like "why am I so tired? I was just sitting around doing nothing all day."

But the answer, it turns out, is I was doing something. Riding in a car jars your body in many directions and requires constant microadjustments of your muscles just to stay in place and hold your normal posture. Because you're inside the car, inside the situation, it's easy not to notice all the extra work you're doing just to maintain the status quo.

There's all sorts of work that we think of as "free" that require spending energy: concentrating, making decisions, managing anxiety, maintaining hypervigilance in an unfriendly environment, dealing with stereotype threat, processing a lot of sensory input, repairing skin cells damaged by sun exposure, trying to stay warm in a cold room.

The next time you think you're tired from "nothing", consider instead that you're probably in situation where you're doing a lot of unnoticed extra work just to stay in place.

i feel like people got so weird about age gaps in this very abstract sense that now there's this taboo about being friends with someone who's a few years older or younger than u....like, i have friends in their 70s and i have friends in their early 20s and im always friendly with teenagers & kids too because they all deserve to have adult friends in their lives who they can trust! other people projecting their gross shit onto those friendships is not my problem

[indieninja92]

guess what! its good for us to have intergenerational friendships actually! its good for all of us to have healthy, friendly, respectful relationships with people of different ages! it works in all directions!

When we say make Pride more accessible we mean make sure disabled folks can actually enter the gay bar. (We see your doors with a lip on them.)

When we say make Pride more accessible we mean don’t pack people in and make it hard to move in mobility aids. 

When we say make Pride more accessible we mean stop having Pride events that only happen on grass. 

When we say make Pride more accessible we mean make sure all bathrooms are easily found and usable. 

When we say make Pride more accessible we mean make sure we actually can sit somewhere if we need to. If all the seats are bar stools that is not helping or helpful. 

When we say make Pride more accessible we mean don’t expect everyone can dance physically. 

Stop using ‘that’s just how it’s always been’ as an excuse. Intersectionality in the community needs to be a thing. 

Handicapped queer folk exist, too.

fun fountain pen fact: writing in cursive will make your inks look like boring garbage

[mamoru]

making fountain pen inks look interesting means frequently lifting the pen. the more frequently you lift the pen, the more often the ink can pool at the beginning and end of your strokes. ink pooling is important. that is how you get variations in shading, shimmer, and sheen. basically, ink pooling = color variation. which is cool. and you want that. you want the colors to look cool. so before you think fountain pens are out of reach because you hate cursive, remember: so do I
