The one bizarre thing to me about textiles is that warp-weighted weaving is at least 6500 years old, but our oldest knitted artifacts are only ~1000 years old, and crochet 200 years old. Even though you need less equipment to knit (two sticks) or crochet (one hook) compared to warp-weighted weaving (frame, loom weights, batting, heddles). Why the big gaps between these inventions? And why did each one appear and spread when it did?

okay!!! in the last week I have managed to almost completely catch up on my missing work! im once again on track to graduate in two weeks, so congratulations to me for stopping the self sabotaging! I just gotta stay focused and keep away from major distractions for the next week, and then I will finally have a fucking bachelors degree after 7 years of hell!

#well. actually more like #1.5 years of having a lot of fun while wayyy overworking myself and having untreated mood episodes #3 years of Very Traumatic Experiences #and then 2.5ish years of purgatory #but whatever! we are so close to being done!! I absolutely have not processed that. #and then I can read all the comics I want

idk but to me something so quintessential about timothy drake is that he is your average american teenage boy and as your average teenage american boy he is viscerally and desperately terrified of loneliness. the way he latched on to every single aspect of dick's life in an attempt to be close to someone who showed him kindness as a child, the way he'll lower his distinctly bruce-wayne-shaped walls to let in young justice because once his friends know him they won't leave him, hell the way he somehow keeps up his friendship with ives despite all the times he's dropped off the radar. something about this child is such an achingly yearning beast which adores company that he rips through typical fantastical comic book angst and falls straight back into the behavior of My New Neighbor The Average American Teenage Boy in a way i don't think i consciously realized until recently

Back when I used to walk around my college in a corduroy blazer and slacks I didn't call it "dark academia" I called it "professor drag" and the purpose was to smoothly walk into parts of campus I wasn't supposed to access

people who love to say “the only foolproof method of pregnancy-prevention is abstinence” with that smug grin really do not want to think about abstinence as something with a statistically measurable fail rate that is probably higher than that of condoms

Genuinely, I don’t know how else to get the word out, but I feel like if your home-cooked dinners don’t taste right, you're missing either paprika, sugar, butter, or chicken bouillon.
