I’ve had enough

I would just love if there were an official silly sign right h-

Every day I get a little closer to saying fuck it and becoming an apprentice in some at risk heritage craft or profession.

"let's have AI-"

I'm gonna go learn the art of hand engraving or thatched roofing. Maybe hand make clogs.

As a professional hand engraver, when it comes to old crafts like these, its way more accessible to get started with the basics than you'd expect. Back in the day good steel was expensive so trying something like hand engraving was expensive and difficult to justify. But now you can can just buy a good quality handpush graver online for less than a fancy coffee. Just think, for under a hundred quid you could get all the kit you need to get started with fucking up coins and stabbing yourself repeatedly!!!

Don't threaten to do it, go research it, and actually give it a go!!! Most of the books for old crafts are out of copyright. Even if you don't get a job at whatever you try, or hell, even of you don't become in any way good at it, just learning and trying something new is good for you, and it gives you a greater understanding and appreciation for things.

Fuck AI? Good. I agree. Now fucking do something about it. Return to doing human hand crafted things as an act of rebellion! Start knitting, start wood carving, start engraving, whatever the fuck. But most importantly, remember you don't need to be making money doing it to make it worth doing.

I have been a sheep caretaker for like two days and already I'm like. Wow. I get it.

I get why these were some of the earliest mammals to ever be domesticated. They look up to humans with this sort of dumb but all at once innocent and pure and trusting expression. They're happy to see you. They follow you around. They like to be rubbed under their chins. Maybe its just some latent Scottish highland shepherd DNA I still have in me but I look at my sheep charges and suddenly I see why the love of God for humanity is so often described as a shepherd and his sheep. I'd fight a wolf for these guys. I'd go way the Hell out of my way for them. I'd carry their young for miles on my own back.

ppl who don’t make an effort to listen to their partner(s) abt their interests bc they “don’t like it” scare me

exactly. it’s not about whether you like it or understand it. it’s about sharing their joy and learning about who they are.

the disrespect and hatred people have for trans men who are or have been pregnant is disgusting, all under the veil of trying to support trans men, too. like ok so pregnant trans men dont deserve representation because you think its just a weird mpreg omegaverse fetish right? you want to see a story about a trans man embracing the full extent of his own body, doing one of the hardest and most miraculous things we are capable of as human beings, all while still being a man and not relenting to society's expectation that only women can do this? what are you some kind of pervert???

trans men get pregnant all the fucking time and its normal. it doesnt make them women and it doesnt make them porn subjects. all it does it make them fathers.
