My friends laugh at me but like, my actual dream meet cute is meeting a femme in Ikea who is like “Oh no, I want to buy all this furniture but I don’t know how to build it” and I get to (butchly) say “Oh I’ll come build it for you, I love building Ikea furniture” and then we go back to hers and she drinks wine while watching me build Ikea furniture with my set of 30 interchangeable screwdrivers and also she shows me her cat

thinking about what is and what isn’t allowed in frame with reference ecosystems in prairie restoration
Explanation from OP in the replies
restoration ecology tends to want to restore to a past state of an ecosystem, but magically that past state never involved people! Harvest, reciprocity, etc are all ignored because we pretend there’s such a thing as prairie without people. Turns out, that imagined prairie never existed, there were always people here and there should people involved in restored prairie too!

love hannibal conceptually because it was a bunch of nobody canadian actors they picked up in toronto, a handsome british fop who’d mostly done romcoms, a guy who up to that point was best known for performing cock and ball torture on james bond, and Emmy Award Winner Laurence Fucking Fishburne

I was showing my class that, contrary to popular belief, divorce rates aren’t at an all-time high but actually peaked in the 80s. When I asked them why they thought divorce rates went up so quickly in the 60s-70s, none of them could guess. One guy thought it might be because of all the “free love,” drugs, etc but I told him it wasn’t all hippies getting divorces. Not a single one of them had any idea just how hard it was for women to leave an abusive marriage before the late 1960s at the earliest.
In the late 90s, having secured a permanent and full-time position as a teacher, I applied for a car loan. During the conversation with the credit union rep I was told that I was a risk because I might get married within the 5 year loan period (with the unspoken implication that if this hypothetical marriage were to occur it would immediately result in my becoming a housewife) and that, not entirely linked to the possibility of nuptials, I might also get pregnant (and again, be rendered incapable of paid work.)
I was dumbstruck.
My parents had to go guarantors for the loan. My freaking parents.
I was in my mid-20s. I had a well-paying, secure job. I was single with zero intent to marry, and even if it had been on the cards it sure as fuck wouldn’t have been to the sort of person who would immediately insist I quit my job and stay at home.
But apparently, the fact that I was a woman overshadowed all of that stuff. That single factor meant I was a risky prospect and had to get my parents to back me.
It was absolute bullshit.
Dude, women in Ireland were forced to resign from their jobs upon getting married up until 1973
In the late 60s, no-fault divorce became possible, and it spread throughout the US through the 70s.
The combination of “you do not have to prove to a [male] judge and [mostly-male] jury that your husband is abusive (without being able to afford a lawyer)” and “you can now have a bank account in your own name” did indeed kick off many, many divorces.
Divorce rates are lower now. Marriage rates are also lower now - because, again, women no longer need to get married to get access to a bank account, rent an apartment, own a car, etc.

fun fact about me is that when i was a kid id write capital E’s with as many of those little horizontal lines as possible and id call them ladder E’s and adults fucking hated them
artistic rendition
All capital letters should have a leveled-up form
So far I’ve got
- ladder letters: A, E, F, H, T
- humpback B’s and P’s get as many bumps as you think they need
- circle O’s, you just keep spiraling in til you feel like you’ve made your point
- tree letters branch into smaller versions of themselves ad nauseum: X, Y
- spider Q’s, so many legs
Please add your own unsettling godtier capitals!
New alphabet dropped!
oh my god, it’s beautiful
(future handwritten notes are gonna be so wonderfully cursed now, thank you! :D )
well it’s going to take some getting used to, @ceekari (don’t mind the redacted letter between T and U)
But I think i’ve taken a real shine to it!
recursive
So i may have done a thing in an insomnia fueled jaunt into insanity.
This is how new alphabets get invented.

I FUCKING HOPE SO !
Clarifying for everyone who doesn’t read usernames but the delayed release is just a rumor but an extremely LIKELY rumor right now. Considering how people who are working on Beyond the Spider-Verse say they’re barely in the animation testing stage.
A good movie is NOT worth unsatisfactory and mentally unstable, exhaustive, and dangerous working conditions. If you can support the artists who worked on atsv financially through commission or other means DO THAT!
I will happily wait another year or two so that the animators aren’t worked to the bone. I want my entertainment to be produced as ethically as possible.

You should tell people how important they are to you. Not because they could leave at any moment, but because they’re here now, and it’s worth saying something.
