First you procrastinate on the task because it is not a big enough deal to get done urgently. Then you procrastinate on the task because it has become such a big deal that doing it is overwhelming. You would think that this implies a middle point where it is just big enough of a deal to get done easily, however the inherent perversity of the universe's causal geometry prevents this

I know "60s housewives who invented slash fanfiction" has taken on a life of its own as a phrase, but Kirk/Spock didn't really exist until the 70s and THOSE WOMEN HAD JOBS. They were teachers and librarians and bookkeepers and scientists and they damn well spent their own money going to conventions, printing zines, buying fanart and making fandom happen. Put some respect on their names.

You guys rlly don't realise how much knowledge is still not committed to the internet. I find books all the time with stuff that is impossible to find through a search engine- most people do not put their magnum opus research online for free and the more niche a skill is the less likely you are to have people who will leak those books online. (Nevermind all the books written prior to the internet that have knowledge that is not considered "relevant" enough to digitise).

Whenever people say that we r growing up with all the world's knowledge at our fingertips...it's not necessarily true. Is the amount of knowledge online potentially infinite? Yes. Is it all knowledge? No. You will be surprised at the niche things you can discover at a local archive or library.

Humanity has finally reached the stars and found out why no one had contacted us. The universe is in a sad state. As such, Doctors without Borders, Red Cross, and many othe charities go intergalactic.

Kallen’s been in dire need of a hat for outside work (because he is delicate and sensitive to the sun).

….he’s likely going to get a fishing/boonie hat and I didn’t think about that implication until just now.

He’s a Chief Petty Officer, not a Captain….but I don’t mind. 😉

regardless of a myriad of other AI discourse talking points i'm not touching with a 10 ft pole, i think it should always be disclosed when i'm looking at something AI generated. like that's a basic level of societal courtesy, right. AI images more than any new technology that has changed the course of humanity seem to be inseparable from a purposeful obfuscation of their origin. the gimmick is to deceive human perception, their entire purpose is to make you believe you are looking at something created by sentience. AI is at its core a tool for deception and i mean that as a neutral statement. it's a mimic, a pantomime. impersonation. and that is, ethics aside, annoying as all fuck

A reminder that just because I’m in a het-presenting relationship doesn’t mean Kallen and I are exclusively LGBTQIA+ allies.

I’m bisexual and demisexual and genderqueer (I sometimes just call myself queer to simplify it). Kallen is pansexual and polyamorous (and label agnostic).

….we belong in the LGBTQ community as much as anyone else, even if we appear to be straight and heterosexual on the outside.

Just tired of the exclusion based on appearance, that’s all.

my biggest pet peeve wiht the english language is that you don’t have sin/sina

in swedish if u have two people who use the same pronoun u can always tell whos doing what bc its like ‘han tog sin väska’ (he took his[own] bag) and ‘han tog hans väska’ would be that he took the other persons bag

but in english its like if u have 2 ppl w/ the same pronoun:

“she took her bag” whose bag????WHose BAG was it her OWN bag or the other her’s bag??????????????

“he ate his donuts” were the donuts his own???? did he fucking eat someone elses donuts??? YIU DONT KNOW bc english is a bullshit language

from a fellow fat girl (around the size range you described), i get my exercise leggings from fabletics. they have a large variety and lengths, and you can pick some that have pockets too. they always have deals for new customers where you can get 2 for $24 (they’re usually like $70 ish each without a discount), but what i do is just make a new email and then i can get that discount every time LMAO

leaving hearts in your inbox <3

Big hearts, friend!! That’s super helpful. ☺️ Sending you hugs and solidarity. 💚💚

I like your sneaky trick too. 😉 (I got caught with that trick in another store because the credit card and mailing address matched my other emails 🤦‍♀️. Baby Gemma learned the hard way that doesn’t always work lol)

Also if you ever want to rant about fat fashion, lmk! ☺️

Okay, hot on the tail of chub rub tips:

Hit me up with recommendations for capris/leggings for exercise for 2XL/20-22 girlies (gn). Of course I’m between the conventional 18-20 and 22-24 🙄

My yoga pants and dance pants are all a decade+ old (RIP me) and with age comes holes and weak spots and sheerness. I’m not keen on showing my ass to my neighbors unbidden.

I need something I can walk/hike in, phone pocket preferable. Nothing crazier than that at this point, though maybe someday I’ll pick up roller skating. 😊

I think I’m good on under-dress shorts (I am going to compare a bunch of brands and styles eventually lol). Just need something to wear when Kallen and I go “gentle hiking”.

I’m inundated with options and overwhelmed. 😭
