forever laughing about the time I went to the doctor's office and the nurse called my name as "Mr. [lastname]" and when I got up the nurse was like "OH MY GOD IM SO SORRY" meanwhile I was trying to tell her "no it's ok Mr is good" and she stopped cold, looked me up and down, and just said "no" lmfao. oh the joys of a gender neutral name and transphobic idiots lol.

the thing about being hydrated that nobody tells you about is that you piss more. you have to piss all the time. it's awful. I want to go back to being dehydrated so I can do my thing without having to get up to piss all the goddamn time.

“People should pass a test before being allowed to have kids.” “Isn’t it scary how white people have this inborn capacity for evil?” “I’ll never pass because males and females have different skull shapes.” “Autistic people have a stronger sense of justice than anyone else.” “I don’t want AMABs in my space because they’re dangerous.” “You shouldn’t have access to hormones if you dress like THAT.” “Anyone who does something that awful isn’t human.” “Some people really shouldn’t be allowed to vote.”

This is eugenics. This is phrenology. THIS IS NAZI SHIT, YOU ARE A LEFTIST BUYING INTO NAZI SHIT. YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE TO NAZI SHIT.

I'd like to share with y'all a project I've poured my heart and soul into over the last couple of years: a database cataloguing every single older queer science fiction book I've managed to track down, consisting of just over 200 titles with LGBT characters/themes & by LGBT authors, spanning over a century (1880-2000) 🚀

The database can be filtered by representation, subgenre, whether the book is currently in print, and more; additionally, it includes my own ratings & brief thoughts on the ones i have read, if anyone needs a suggestion on places to start! (or feel free to shoot me an ask for a more personalized recommendation)

one time I went over to a friend's house and their housemate was making paper in the living room, and we saw this big tub full of water they were using to dissolve old scrap paper into a slurry, and everyone was immediately like "oh, you need scrap paper?" and started turning out their jacket pockets and producing expired coupons and bus tickets and crumpled receipts and old shopping lists and whatever else they'd been carrying round with them for no good reason, and passing it all to the paper-making housemate to make sure it was suitable before it got torn up and dropped into the tub, while people took turns stirring the slurry with a big wooden stick. it was strangely ritualistic, like presenting an offering to some kind of temple elder for inspection before placing it in a watery shrine to be devoured and reformed. pulp for the pulp god.

another mini zine!! :) first one I've done entirely in b&w for a while, usually I prefer color! but the sticker printer I have is a thermal printer that only does b&w, plus it's so much cheaper than color printing haha and I wanted to put this zine in local little free libraries! hope you all enjoy seeing some critters I see in my everyday life :)

huge wave of grief for Annie 🐶 today. I miss her so much. I keep remembering little moments and things I treasured about her and it just hurts.

I miss my angel.

Hey i’m a fashion design student so i have tons and tons of pdfs and docs with basic sewing techniques, pattern how-tos, and resources for fabric and trims. I’ve compiled it all into a shareable folder for anyone who wants to look into sewing and making their own clothing. I’ll be adding to this folder whenever i come across new resources

Updated just now with new hand sewing resources (mainly buttonholes) and textbook pdfs on fashion history, fashion illustration, and thinking through designs!
