A new pendant I made. It is reticulated silver (technique to create that wrinkly surface look) and a garnet cabochon. It’s redder irl than this photo shows. I used sulphur to get the darker contrasting look in the reticulation.

Suddenly struck with a need to explain to you how boat pronouns work (I work in the marine industry).

When you're talking about the design of the boat, you say "it".

When the boat is still being built, your say "it".

When the boat is nearing completion, you can say "it" or "she".

When the boat is floating in the water you probably say "she", unless there is still a lot of work to be done (e.g. no engine yet) then you say "it".

When the boat is officially launched and operating, you say "she". If you continue to say "it" at this point you are not incorrect but suspiciously untraditional. You are not playing the game.

If you are referring to a boat you don't really know anything about you may say "it" ("there's a big boat, it's coming this way"). But if you know its name, it's probably "she" ("there's the Waverley, she's on her way to Greenock").

If you are talking about boats in general, you say "it" ("when a boat is hit by a wave it heels over")

If you speak about a boat in complimentary terms, it's "she" ("she's a grand boat"). If you are being disparaging it may be it, but not necessarily ("it's as ugly as sin", "she's a grotty old tub").

If she has a boy's name, she's still she. "Boy James", "King Edward", "Sir David Attenborough"? The pronoun is she.

If it's a dumb barge (no engine), you say it. But if it's a rowing boat (no engine), you say she.

I hope this has cleared things up so that you may not be in danger of misgendering floating objects.

I HAD to reblog this with a picture I took months ago in the wild because it was so bizarrely appropriate.

And the actual caption I gave this when I first posted it to social media was “GRANDMA SAID SKILL ISSUE”

Huge fan of when my speech patterns rub off on people enjoy when thay happens

hello I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. The anonymity of tumblr means that I associate my idea/image of you with your icon and sometimes I look at people’s icons and I’m like ‘hmmm….what is that and why?’ 

so pls reblog this and comment in the tags the meaning behind your icon and why you chose it. this is a social experiment. do it for science pls.

worst part about getting angry is how much it makes you want to be mean

#my anger used to make me a terrible person #I’m not letting it control me anymore

Abortion Clinic Employee Shares How Some Pro-Life Women Act When They Come In As Customers

I am not surprised that anti-choice zealots would hypocritically obtain abortions, but I am thoroughly fucking shocked that they wouldn’t even attempt to hide their anti-choice views when doing so.

Also, I must point out that some Protestants do take communion, e.g. Lutherans.

"Christ on a cracker" well actually I think you'll find Christ is the cracker. And also the wine. But you wouldn't know that you fucking protestant heathen

So right now in this house, my washer and dryer are in a weird cupboard in the hallway upstairs. Between the hall bathroom and the master bedroom. There’s nothing else in there. No room for anything else. Just a slide door that hides them.

In my parents’ house, the washer and dryer are downstairs off the main basement sitting room, in their own kind of laundry room. There’s also an extra freezer in there.

Growing up, we lived in a kind of old (~130 years) house and the basement was just hewn out of rock. That’s where the washer and dryer were there. Along with a lot of spiders and cave crickets. :)

As you age you just realize a lot of shit has absolutely nothing to do with you and it’s such a relief lol
