Little something I found at goodwill a few months ago and hadn’t gotten to. This was worth every penny of the $30 I spent. This is someone’s baby that their grandkids donated. Cams, tools, extra small foot, foot for making a rolled edge, extra switch plate, original pedal and cord, original instruction manual, even a partial tube of Singer brand machine oil that’s likely 60 years old.

Tell me all your troubles sweetheart. Doc’s gonna make it all better. <3

#sewing #look at this beauty!! #oh my goodness such a gorgeous find #and only 30 bucks!!! #i hope she serves you well <3 #you gotta show me what you make!

unavoidable that you will be the villain in someone else's story. You will be painted in an unfavorable light. You will be the irredeemable one. and all of this will happen despite how nice you might usually be or how kind or how respectful or how warm. and you will just have to move on.

#oh yeah #dealing with that rn #its' tempting to salt the earth with this one too #i've been gentle yet firm for too long #i'm the bad guy regardless so shrug #reblog

Ha! The last person likely thought the tension was screwed up too. Oh no my friends. Her needle was just dull. She’s a beast. And already quieter from some strategic dribbles of white machine oil. <3

#oooh such a lovely machine #what breed is she? #sewing #reblog

There’s something very nice about remembering fics you read years ago. Maybe you remember the plot perfectly, maybe the rest of the fic is only a blur aside from a handful of vivid scenes, but you remember the way it made you feel. And sometimes you dredge up the memory - the premise or a favourite scene or a few lines that stayed with you -  and your heart aches a little bit, the way it does when you think about books you enjoyed as a child.

To all the fanfiction writers out there: your work is beautiful and meaningful and it leaves an impact. I promise.

#theres a couple of r&c fics and a crossover or two that live forever in my head #i should make sure they're still up #and maybe back them up to a flashdrive if i can for fear of purging #reblog

Fandom Problem #4403:

Do fanpol know that most "normal people" are capable of watching / reading problematic or questionable content, properly identifying certain parts are problematic or questionable, going "yeaahh that part was a little yikes" then continue on watching / reading as normal without having a meltdown over it or accusing the author and every other person who's read / watched and enjoys it an any capacity of endorsing every single action and idea presented in the work?

Sometimes its necessary to go "yikes" and then move on with your fucking life. If the "yikes" is TOO Yikes for you to continue on, that's totally fine, but don't act like everyone else having a higher Yikes tolerance think everything is absolutely fine.

since ive regularly needed these reminders over the past month or so since i quit: not working is completely morally neutral. everyone deserves respect and dignity regardless of employment status. ones ability to work should not determine their worth etc etc. i love my unemployed baddies

not proshipper not anti but a secret third thing (person who has a career in the media and, through covering legislative politics, has watched "associating with problematic fiction or entertainment is an indicator of moral degeneracy" rapidly become a mainstream GOP position that they are encoding in legislation to target the queer community under the guise of protecting children, thus coming to the conclusion that positioning the "can people enjoy things that would be immoral IRL in their fiction" debate as a proship v anti fandom debate is akin to pretending that "should we have the death penalty" is a discussion that only matters in Death Note discourse — the extent and manner to which fiction affects reality is an issue that is immediately relevant to today's US politics, and to summarize my opinions on the matter in fandom terms would be to diminish the ways this debate is affecting america Right The Fuck Now. and i have stopped taking "this person is bad for shipping the wrong anime thing and being horny about it" in any sort of good faith ever since I saw it literally used as part of a GOP smear campaign against a transgender state legislator in an attempt to defend the right from backlash after they used their supermajority in the Montana house to prevent her from speaking on the floor. Anyway I think everyone on this site, especially Americans, could benefit from ceasing to think in proship v anti vocabulary and instead developing coherent political positions on the nature of fiction that do not directly align with current fascist political tactics)

“That’s why high school, or a crappy job, or any other restrictive circumstance can be dangerous: They make dreams too painful to bear. To avoid longing, we hunker down, wait, and resolve to just survive. Great art becomes a reminder of the art you want to be making, and of the gigantic world outside of your small, seemingly inescapable one. We hide from great things because they inspire us, and in this state, inspiration hurts.”

#oh. ok. yeah.

When a character is assured enough in their own power that they are completely relaxed in dangerous situations??? When that same character becomes tense and uncomfortable in the mundane because they don't have a framework for peace?????? When they help navigate violence for another character and in return that character helps them navigate softness??????????? That's all, your honour
