the ONLY way for me to be a good ally here is to just accept that someday, I AM GONNA FUCK UP. and i accept it by knowing that even though my feelings are going to hurt, even though the knee-jerk reaction is to fight it, MY MOMENTARY UNCOMFY IS WORTH MUCH LESS THAN PEOPLE'S WHOLE GOT DANG LIVES.

so i operate with the humility to realize that i'm going to screw up, AND when i do, i gotta get a ladder out n get over myself.

listen, if you say you're for dismantling some system that oppresses people as an ally, an then refuse to examine your own shit that you have inevitably learned from that system, that's not being an ally

i am cishet. i am white. i am middle-class. and you know what that means? I Sit The Fuck Down, Shut Up, And Listen.

i also accept and know that it is not a matter of if i screw up, but WHEN.

ok my dog is yelling at me to go to bed

GOODNIGHT FEDIVERSE

i'm guessing that mars is rising in the fifth house or whatever and also my subconscious wants ramen and frilly clothes, personally

dream interpreters, what's my dream from last night mean: i dreamed i was with family and we were visiting tokyo and my dad wanted to eat at the one (1) singular cracker barrel in all of japan so we had to go 3 hours out of the way and miss my one goal for the trip, the plus-sized lolita fashion store

...

note: i did promptly get up groggily to jokingly demand my dad that If We Go To Tokyo There Will Be Absolutely No Cracker Barrel

anyway i gotta go write an apology letter to all members of outkast for summing up so many objections i have to people on mastodon with the chorus to roses

also i need to run the last instance before stormblood in ffxiv but

1. Fear.

2. keep misreading it as "gimlet dark" and trying to figure out what that would even be. sub in chambourd for part of the gin and blackberry puree for some of the lime? vodka gimlet with blavod black vodka?? THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW

to illustrate my point about how :gluegun: is superior to : gun: -

also in the spirit of community, after yoinking so many emojis like for my discord servers from masto, allow me to give a few in return

1. :sadbutaesthetic: aka vaporwave frowny

2. :willrememberthat: aka social down from the sims, bc sometimes, that's just all you got my dudes

3. glue gun (superior replacement for any gun emoji use among crafty friends)

4. an emoji size version of this cat gif that i honestly think is probably old enough to vote by now

there's a guild on balmung in #ffxiv with the tag AP-RP and every time i see it, i imagine, with no small amount of terror still there from my high school days, what exactly an Advanced Placement test about roleplay would be like

why write contrary-for-contrary's-sake opinions about the politics of people existing when you could join me in the REAL fun end of the pool:

GIF IS PRONOUNCED WITH A SOFT G

no i will not be taking questions no i will not be explaining myself don't at me i know i'm right

sure, why not

me: okay, time to see what is going on in the world!

the news: *is the news.*

me: ...................................that's enough for today i think before the bleak void of despair swallows me,

i feel like for neopronouns we need to look at a commonly used, unpatched bit of nonsense that the famously buggy english language uses, that is something large parts of the english language is built to depend on, so detractors can't say tickity boo about it:

say the pronouns are straight-up stolen from another language

bam, it's good english now

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

like contrast that to how in modern day "home ec" is sort of laughed off as a junk course, if something not needed at all, because "well it's all simple things you can figure it out"

and here's mrs beeton from the past, yelling YOU ARE AS A GENERAL WITH AN ARMY, THIS IS A TOUGH JOB DESERVING OF STUDY

god i love mrs beeton

just please don't make me eat 3/4 of her recipes

i also genuinely love how Mrs. Beeton starts it off

"AS WITH THE COMMANDER OF AN ARMY, or the leader of any enterprise, so
is it with the mistress of a house."

immediate equation with ladies running households as a leadership position that has a lot of power and requires dedication! there is no "oh, it's just silly woman stuff" devaluing of domestic management on Mrs. Beeton's watch!!!

not that the victorian ideal of 'heart of the home' was unproblematic but still
