girlhood this girlhood that. woman you are 26

[ryebreadgf]

I got a message about how this is supposedly mean. I am holding your hand when I say that refusing womanhood and clinging onto girlhood will not save you from the realities of adulthood. I am not saying you are not young. 26 is incredibly young. you are free to love the concepts and media associated with girlhood but there is much to love about womanhood that you are not seeing. there is something to be said for being free of the shackles of girlhood and childhood. you are an autonomous being. you have power over your life and the paths you will take. it is easier to see the paths when you start taking yourself seriously instead of waiting for others to do so. no one is saying you have to be serious. womanhood is joy too. a different shade of yellow

like 99% of "men and women are soooo different!!!" comedy is literally just describing the experience of not understanding other people. like it's not that women never say what they mean talking to other people is just like that. it can be hard to understand what other people are thinking. bioessentialism really rots the brain

[genderkoolaid]

"women will say I'm fine and then not mean it" yeah that's something literally everybody does. is this your first time interacting with another human being my guy

this video is really fucking good. fuck big tech companies, fast fashion, modern auto, and those initial inhibitive greedy lightbulb fucks. planned obsolescence, creative waste, consumer engineering.

Ha, I don’t usually add stuff to big posts like this but this is very relevant for me today.

Today I spent 6 hours sewing a new cover for my chair. It’s an Ikea chair I bought ca 10 years ago. It used to be my dining room table chair but when I moved out it turned into my office chair. The cushion and cover started breaking down some time ago and now there’s a pretty big tear in the fabric. I went to Ikea to buy a new cover and hell yeah they do still make the same chair and sell extra covers! But wait a fucking minute. The chair in the store looks so flimsy?? Mine at home is sturdy and nice to sit on even after a decade. The ones on display at the store look like they’ll break apart in a year max. Oh and would you look at that! The chair IS less sturdy. So much so that the dimensions of the entire thing have changed and this supposedly still same chair is now significantly slimmer, meaning the covers also won’t fit my old chair! Wtf!

Anyway I took the old cover, reenforced the tear with a fabric scrap from some old jeans & then layered a nice fabric I still had lying around over it. Took me 6 hours to make it look really neat but I hope this’ll give my chair another decade of life!

Gotta keep the old stuff alive as long as possible.

Here’s my chair before & after:

I especially love these two excerpts from her wiki page

[only-fragments]

I tell kids about Tilly ALL THE TIME when I'm doing tsunami presentations for my job. She lived in a landlocked part of England! She probably thought she would never ever ever use what she learned in her geography class about tsunamis and then just a few weeks later she used it to save over one hundred lives! It's an incredible story about how anything can happen anytime, and we need to be prepared to act.

What I think is most important about her story is that, even as a kid, Tilly knew she was right and she stuck to that knowledge. She practically threw a fit until her parents listened to her, because at first they kept brushing her off. And that is SO IMPORTANT for our kids to know! Adults can be wrong. You need to trust your instincts. YOU can be right and YOU can act in times of danger and emergency. YOU have the power to save yourself and others.

From wiki:

Tilly Smith recounted that, by coincidence, an English-speaking Japanese man was nearby and heard her mention the Japanese word "tsunami", bolstering her claim by saying: "Yeah, there's been an earthquake in Sumatra; I think your daughter's right."[citation needed] The beach was evacuated to the second story of a nearby hotel before the 9-metre (30 ft) tsunami reached the shore, [10] with patrons narrowly avoiding the tsunami by seconds; Tilly's mother, one of the last to seek refuge, said: "I ran, and then I thought I was going to die."[citation needed]

Ultimately, Mai Khao Beach was one of the few beaches on the island with no reported fatalities, with only a few minor injuries recorded.[9][11][12] Colin added, "It was later when we sort of went through what happened we thought how lucky we were, 'cause if she hadn't told us, we would have just kept on walking," he said. "I'm convinced we would have died, absolutely convinced."[9]

being an adult is just dragging urself kicking and screaming to things that you will enjoy and that will be good for you

[mobydyke]

clenching my teeth and muttering under my breath "you'll be happy you did it you'll be happy you did it you'll be happy you did it" as I physically force myself out the door to go Do Things

[mobydyke]

being very firm with myself every time I think about bailing and saying "no. you committed to this. it will improve your quality of life. you will enjoy it. now put on your big boy pants and go."

tutorial for drawing characters with Down syndrome!

DISCLAIMER... please keep in mind that this is an introductory drawing tutorial and has some generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People. it's more of an overview of features that are common in people with Down syndrome, not meaning to imply that every person with DS has all of them 👍👍 thanks

if you draw any characters using this feel free to tag me!!
