Getting ads (on my own blog)??? meant for me (owner of the blog) on my own blog??? (my blog) as I scroll (my own blog) for Ye Occasional Maintenance?????

#i feel like I shouldn’t get ads on my own blog cuz like #I’m not browsing #i know what’s here #i curated this collection #ads in feed feel normal #it’s like getting a post it note ad on your mirror while brushing your teeth #rusty rants #not annoyed or anything #it just struck me

"Average adventuring party carries two sets of manacles" is actually a statistical error. The average adventuring party carries no manacles. The Mighty Nein, who have inexplicably collected five different forms of magical restraints, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

#this was the first thing I thought when chetney was like 'we could get some manacles!' #and I went 'how do you not have a set of manacles. doesn't everyone.' #critical role #cr spoilers #by proxy #almost went with 'bdsm georg' but it wasn't gonna be clear lmfao #like legit the number of ways the nein could tie people up. fucking ridiculous. #the nein were CURATING that collection truly

applying to jobs in the art history field like

“preferred PhD. must have 8+ years experience in [insert extremely niche art historical subject area here]. must speak/read french. must work weekends. must have references from 5 other museums minimum. must sell ur soul to us. annual pay: $35,000”

#for an assistant curatorial position mind u #not even the fucking curator #job searching is turning me evil! EVIL!! #anyway if ur reading this manifest that i get this job as a collections manager at [redacted] #manifest it for me so hard i’d be so good at it #ramblings

any ao3 user who has ever made a collection by just adding fics that all have similar premises or tropes owns my entire heart. Yes I DO want to read the same fic I just read but a little different this time. Yes I DO want 41 fics that all have the same premise but follow through on it differently. godspeed dude. No idea where you're finding these

I need more,,, I need to be able to subscribe to users' curated lists or something

#like reading a fic with insane worldbuilding and being like :( i wish there were more fics like this #and then you scroll up. and in collections theres like. 'ryan's 300 worldbuilding fics with similar traits' #best feeling #i need widespread fic curation

Watching the lower decks Voyager episode and I have to say, as someone who works in museum collections I do get the curator's worry over everything but also why no cotton gloves then? Especially in the scene where he tugs on Harry Kim's uniform hmm? HMM?

Like you CAN handle textiles without gloves but with the importance of the collection AND ESPECIALLY everything Voyager went through I would simply be treating everything with arsenic exposure protocols, (or whatever the future space version of them is). Who fucking knows whats on those uniforms. Wear gloves! Not even cotton ones at that point that's a nitrile situation. Wear a mask. Where's your PPE??

Would this have avoided the macrovirus issue? Probably not. Would it have been proper museum practice. Yes.

#ALSO! #Where is the collections manager?? #This is museum staff erasure fuck curators #star trek #star trek lower decks #star trek lower decks spoilers #I have been waiting FOREVER for there to be a museum-related star trek episode I can be insane about #the voyager museum episode with the doctor doesn't scratch the itch because that is more a curatorial-focused episode #and not a collections care and preservation one

By Curator standards is Mr Hearts/Apples bisexual

#fallen london #this was a shitpost but maybe it's more like bigender?? given the role that collection has as a defining identity trait #curious now whether curators think of their collections as a natural interest they can't consciously sway or a thing they have choice in #like did Mr Fires choose to be Mr Fires? or did it just always like that category of things and start hoarding? #anyway happles is funny #i wonder if it sees its two identities as the same category somehow #just living things related in general #and it's only humans that care to make a distinction between plant and animal

[regular-gnome]

Now you've got me curious gnome. What WAS the relationship between the archivists when they were younger like?

(Also I LOVE your work and look up to you ALOT. Have a nice day/night!)

Their relationships have changed since childhood, running through extremes and attitudes but ultimately focusing on a common goal and set of routines. Adding to it, there isn't exactly anyone else older who could be there for them in the long run, so for better or worse all issues are build on or/and resolved between them. In the end.. it's not like they have anywhere else to go, and they don't exactly want to be alone in the void. They stick together, even if some are gone for periods of time

(But I'm glad you enjoy the things I draw! It always makes me happy to see you pop up in my notes and see your interpretation of the celestial critters:P have a cool daynight too!)

About the colors of the cloaks when they were kids, in some previous comics they shared the same teal cyan hue as an indication of being part of the group. Buuut, they already have affiliation indicated by the shadow face ornament.. and keeping the same colours made it difficult to distinguish them. Soo, this is one instance where I need to backtrack a design choice. Not counting in the more casual clothes besides robes that apear in comics too

#I am so sorry answering took that long I think it took me few weeks to finish this drawing #so yeah #thanks for colour checking Curse xD I died so many times on this #regulart #toh #the owl house #toh fanart #toh archivists #the archivists #toh collectors #owl house #toh collector #the collector #the collector toh #collector toh #collection incomplete au #c:i Anatomist #c:i Curator #c:i Architect #c:i Wayfarer

i am so glad i have fostered a following where i can make these posts that would get me metaphorically shot on sight anywhere else. we're all about radical disability advocacy over here. boot up bitch. we're making a better world one person at a time.

#my posts collectively have thousands upon thousands of notes and i often think like. #there are so many posts on this site that have fundamentally changed my life #and they're allowed me to curate this space on this blog #bc i grew and i changed yada yada #and i just wonder how many lives ive touched #i hope ive inspired the growth and healing that others have inspired in me #i'd probably be in a very dark place rn if not for this blog #so ty all for being receptive and supporting me thru my struggles as well <3 #ilya /p #julian rants

@shinybulbasaur wanted to see my rock collection and i never pass up an opportunity to force others to see all my shiny trinkets and things so here it is:

It’s gotten too big for one set of shelves so she’s a little spread out. There’s also some other stuff in there because I just love Stuff™️

#molly mumbles #i hope u enjoy ♥️ #I’m pretty sure I still have some of my collection left in my childhood home that I have yet to unearth #someday I want to have a nicely curated little cabinet of curiosities

it's time for another episode of desk posting!

I'm still in the guts of plotting out Bad Governance, it's a very fun but very dense puzzle to figure out on account of Keeping Track Of All The Election Cycles, which drive the interpersonal drama.

also crammed in there is my current ideas notebook, because I was jotting down some stray thoughts I had about Jack the Giant Killer, and I'll probably cycle back to it in a month or two with another idea that ties everything together and transforms it from a collection of thoughts to 'ohhhhh I want to turn this into a comic for real.'

#lmao i meant to do these once a week as an informal hang out type of post and immediately. my sense of time. gone! #where is november. where did it go. where am i. WHO am i. a collection of pens probably. #desk posting tag #i might curate some kind of reading tag but frequently i read stuff and go 'wow! loved that!' and then think about the critical #reading skills ive seen on the topic and go 'oh I DONT like that' and while i believe that you should never assume the worst #i find myself. unwilling. to wade into those waters just yet. #soon tho. i have thoughts about grail quest narratives and i will. heugh. hdhdhrughh. ehgh.

Every day at the bookshop I meet people who say they "need to get back into reading," that they "haven't read since they were a kid," etc. etc. etc., only to then inevitably say "...except, you know, [YA/comics/kids' books/fanfiction/something else that is objectively writing that you read]."

And obviously if someone wants to get into adult traditionally published fiction I'm happy to show them around, especially if they're trying to find something by minority authors, or something not on the award-winning bestseller table, or perhaps something faster-paced, or shorter, or whatever makes it easier for them to get into—

but there is also absolutely nothing wrong with having a reading preference. In fact, statistically speaking, in a country where 54% of people allegedly read below a 6th grade level, it's more likely than not that the average person is not destined to love Infinite Jest. (N.B.: literacy is complex if not impossible to define and these are not equally distributed probabilities among everyone in the population.) I feel the need to tell all these people that they are readers, since, by definition, they read—and enjoy it! And if they don't enjoy reading as an adult, well, there are films and songs and television shows and video games out there for them to get their fill of art. There's fashion and sculpture and painting and architecture; nobody has to do my One True Hobby to be smart or cultured or (jeepers) morally correct.

So if you are a reader who prefers books with simpler prose, plots aimed at child readers, fast pacing, art with your words, or anything else associated with kfic/YA/comics/etc., that's perfectly alright. If you find your attempts to read adult fiction or "classics" or whatever other thing you feel you Should read don't actually result in enjoyment, that's alright, too. Any time you spend feeling guilty is a waste—you could spend it reading!

#txt #booklr #bookblr #I really love children's fiction by the way and am trying to curate a collection of books adults can read to get the Best Of... we'll see. #If you caught the Sims 2 reference in this post you are my new best friend. #yves talks reading #yves talks #important writing updates #Sorta. #This is a bit of a chip out of the Mocked Genres essay but don't worry it's not going to be rehashed in this form.
