well they promised it's on its way
i am not ashamed to say i laid it on thick all "well, i guess i get to borrow money and eat ramen noodles to afford another source of cbd oil until the package gets here". i know it's bitchy of me to do that until i got an apology from customer service but i am also not fucking having it today y'all
4 more business days and i'm doing a fucking cc chargeback. :)
it took 30 minutes for them to reply with the same tracking number
usps's tracking usually doesn't run a full week behind :|
i suppose this is hornt, oh no
listen i'm not wrong! i'm not wrong
just. apply face. to those magnificent titties. will probably come up bronzed and self-tanned. okay with this.
anyway if anyone knows of someplace that has like.
victorian era newspaper scans, of newspapers that were illustrated / had big advertising sections, let me know lol
listen, i know everyone gotta eat, but motherfucker? british national library? y'all GOT money. LET ME SEE THE NEWSPAPERS
maybe my #ffxivrp brain will come back home from the wars soon
and i can get out that thought about how the two main schools of healing magic - whm and sch, more or less - operate in different ways but end up with the same result 99.9% of the time
(whm, leaning on power of the spirits, is more about returning bodies to a 'platonic ideal' version; sch is more about speeding up and enhancing natural processes already there)
if your commitment to your ideology prevents you from doing something that is obviously morally good, you should... probably rethink your ideology?
ok a fistbump is not very on-brand for this interaction uhhh hmm
....in solidarity and understanding, this cis lolita offers out a very ornate gothic choker and this really cute pair of pearl wire kitty ears, to stand side by side with the trans girl fashionistas.
THERE WE GO
CULTURAL EXCHANGE, EVERYBODY
both i think have that root also of "god, fuck what i'm SUPPOSED to wear, i am going to wear what makes ME happy". obvsly i know the lolita fashion side here a lot better - it is what some might consider a paradoxically feminist moment, as lolita fashion actually is pretty fucking punk in its sentiments of "i don't care if i'm 'supposed' to be the perfect demure office worker and housewife in sedate modern duds. i'm going to wear what i want to wear, not what society demands i wear."
this is very Cis Girl Looking In From The Outside, but i wish to extend a hand for solidarity fistbump wrt some chat across the fediverse
i think 'typical trans girl fashion' and lolita fashion both share a root, which is why (unsurprisingly) there are a lot of trans women i've seen wearing lolita and interested in it as well - both are "fuck you, i'm a girl", almost to what society might consider "tacky" or "overdone" or "too loud". it is feminine, and screams itself as thus.
listen, i got no fucking clue what's going on, but that's never stopped me from commenting on meta before and it sure ain't gonna now
if someone's being a dick, and yet others are preemptively blacklisting the person less for their dick behavior and far more for race/gender/etc, which is also a dick move,
it means sometimes that it's not one side that's vindicated, but rather, everyone there sucks. and you got yourself a spaceballs 'surrounded by assholes' moment.
anyway it's a shot in the dark but to keep myself busy with rp shit, if anyone happens to know a source of victorian (or earlier) newspapers with advertisements and/or restaurant menus, etc. - especially if it's not just text transcription, but scans where i could browse the typesetting and so on -
i would super appreciate any links if you got 'em handy 💖
