im not sure if this is a consequence of feeling like we all have to compete over how poorly we take care of ourselves in some giant internet thunderdome like “oh you sleep 4 hours? well I only sleep 2″ and “you only ate one meal today? well all I had was an iced coffee” or “you just finished working 70 a hr week? well I worked 85″ because it feels like we can only be seen, validated, and helped if we’re hurting more than everyone and our situation is the most extreme and dire, but deadass I am extremely concerned for folks if what they're saying is true and not being warped by exaggeration bc as someone who undertook less extremes than what people are posting im still hospital bound bc of how much i abused my body and my limits

my favorite part of my yo-kai watch hyperfixation is when i realize that some of the stuff i know is probably not actually common knowledge. most people probably actually don't know specific alleyways' names and shit-

Every now and then i feel like maybe i should change my artist nickname bc HiddenCarpet doesn't sound enough like artist username but i feel like changing it would be too much of a bother + i dislike the thought of alienation of my old art with different name.
And its not like i dislike my nickname. I really like how it looks when i sign it. And i wouldn't change the Carpet part itself. Idk about the "Hidden" part tho. I fear it makes it sound like carpets are going to be my focus and i haven't drawn that much of them in years.
But maybe i'm wrong and it does sound like an artist nickname and it doesn't sound that forgettable idk.

as much as part of me doesn't want to associate my tumblr TOO heavily with my twitch streaming, part of me is entertaining the idea of having a cohesive theme across my platforms and if I was gonna change the current icon/appearance/theme it would just be for all that...
and also in the honor of that anon who said, after sending me a big hunk of anon hate, added "oh wait you're a furry ofc you don't read the news" like maybe I can prevent stupid discourse but simply being way more upfront about the furry vtuber thing lmao
idk @ long time followers and mutuals would you be too heartbroken if I did a mild re-brand? or anyone who has feedback really, I have kinda built my twitch following more or less separate from my tumblr one which is nice, but it does mean I think people here follow me expecting different content than the twitch people(more or less, there is overlap ofc and I am eternally grateful for my tumblr peeps who check out my streams and vice-versa <3) so that's worth considering as well...still the content of my blog wouldn't change AT ALL and I'd still be lastoneout ofc you can pry that username from my cold dead hands, but just my icon and blog theme and stuff?
Yeah, def would appreciate feedback lol

When I was a kid, I watched WWII documentaries with my Dad. I remember, as a small child, being moved by the people (notably women) who would shelter and aid those who were seeking refuge and escape. They would conceal them from their oppressors and help them vanish, unnoticed. I always liked to think, given the opportunity, I would do the same. It was not a wish I wanted to come true.
I've helped two neighbor girls this year, in the last six months alone, hide and escape from their abusers. The first was the 16 year old next to me, whose father beats her regularly. I housed her, fed her for the evening and helped her escape out the back in the middle of the night.
The second was this evening. An immigrant woman whose husband suddenly turned on her. I found her hiding by the front gate, and asked if she was okay or if she needed me to call 911. She begged me not to. So I asked if she needed a safe place to wait while her mother in law came to pick her up. She was almost completely blind, as her husband had taken and destroyed her glasses. I led her through the dark and to my home. My mother looked up resources for immigrant women who are victims of abuse. We gave her medicine. And I guided her through the dark again and helped her escape. I don't know if I'll ever see her again.
In May, I silently silently rode with a 14 year old girl, who was being hit on by a man on the bus. She didn't know I could hear, she didn't know I watched and made sure he didn't do it again. She didn't know I rode with her until she got off the bus safely, even though my stop had passed.
In June, I pretended to know a woman who was being harassed on the bus, I took her hand as though we'd known each other for years and laughed with her as though we could finish each other's sentences. I waited with her at the stop and made sure she knew where she was and where she wanted to go.
In July, I protected two teenage girls at a bus stop as a man became violent with the three of us. Three other men shielded us and I shepherded them onto the bus and sat in front of them, as a barrier. I walked with one girl as she got off at her stop until she felt safe.
It shouldn't be this way. This isn't the wish I wanted to come true. It feels like I have done this more and more often, and it feels like it won't stop. The world is getting more frightening, and there are too few people who would do the same for me. It's why I do it in the first place. There need to be more protectors in the world, more people who make the world feel less scary. Fear shouldn't be the reigning emotion when you step out of the door.

new hobby is actively avoiding people who critically analyze things i like. not like “the origins/history is problematic” but like the people who seek out plot holes or things to criticize. it makes me sad and my blorbos are supposed to make me happy.

I was meeting a client at a famous museum’s lounge for lunch (fancy, I know) and had an hour to kill afterwards so I joined the first random docent tour I could find. The woman who took us around was a great-grandmother from the Bronx “back when that was nothing to brag about” and she was doing a talk on alternative mediums within art.
What I thought that meant: telling us about unique sculpture materials and paint mixtures.
What that actually meant: an 84yo woman gingerly holding a beautifully beaded and embroidered dress (apparently from Ukraine and at least 200 years old) and, with tears in her eyes, showing how each individual thread was spun by hand and weaved into place on a cottage floor loom, with bright blue silk embroidery thread and hand-blown beads intricately piercing the work of other labor for days upon days, as the labor of a dozen talented people came together to make something so beautiful for a village girl’s wedding day.
What it also meant: in 1948, a young girl lived in a cramped tenement-like third floor apartment in Manhattan, with a father who had just joined them after not having been allowed to escape through Poland with his pregnant wife nine years earlier. She sits in her father’s lap and watches with wide, quiet eyes as her mother’s deft hands fly across fabric with bright blue silk thread (echoing hands from over a century years earlier). Thread that her mother had salvaged from white embroidery scraps at the tailor’s shop where she worked and spent the last few days carefully dying in the kitchen sink and drying on the roof.
The dress is in the traditional Hungarian fashion and is folded across her mother’s lap: her mother doesn’t had a pattern, but she doesn’t need one to make her daughter’s dress for the fifth grade dance. The dress would end up differing significantly from the pure white, petticoated first communion dresses worn by her daughter’s majority-Catholic classmates, but the young girl would love it all the more for its uniqueness and bright blue thread.
And now, that same young girl (and maybe also the villager from 19th century Ukraine) stands in front of us, trying not to clutch the old fabric too hard as her voice shakes with the emotion of all the love and humanity that is poured into the labor of art. The village girl and the girl in the Bronx were very different people: different centuries, different religions, different ages, and different continents. But the love in the stitches and beads on their dresses was the same. And she tells us that when we look at the labor of art, we don’t just see the work to create that piece - we see the labor of our own creations and the creations of others for us, and the value in something so seemingly frivolous.
But, maybe more importantly, she says that we only admire this piece in a museum because it happened to survive the love of the wearer and those who owned it afterwards, but there have been quite literally billions of small, quiet works of art in billions of small, quiet homes all over the world, for millennia. That your grandmother’s quilt is used as a picnic blanket just as Van Gogh’s works hung in his poor friends’ hallways. That your father’s hand-painted model plane sets are displayed in your parents’ livingroom as Grecian vases are displayed in museums. That your older sister’s engineering drawings in a steady, fine-lined hand are akin to Da Vinci’s scribbles of flying machines.
I don’t think there’s any dramatic conclusions to be drawn from these thoughts - they’ve been echoed by thousands of other people across the centuries. However, if you ever feel bad for spending all of your time sewing, knitting, drawing, building lego sets, or whatever else - especially if you feel like you have to somehow monetize or show off your work online to justify your labor - please know that there’s an 84yo museum docent in the Bronx who would cry simply at the thought of you spending so much effort to quietly create something that’s beautiful to you.

i know a lot of people say things like 'if my post doesn't apply to you then its not for you' when they make advice posts, which i totally get. but when people make posts dissing picky eaters or adult cartoon fans or whatever, and other people point out that includes disabled adults, i feel like "oh i didn't mean them!" doesn't really work, y'know?

anti-lgbt lgbt ppl will always baffle me to no end...
#for reference i'm talking about a comment i saw on my fyp a few mins ago#a republican senator shoulder-checked someone for protesting against an anti-trans bill being passed#the comments were 50/50 between people rightfully showing concern for the protester and bootlickers defending the senator#one of the bootlickers was a transphobic cis gay man#his replies were along the lines of 'we normal gays and lesbians don't want to be associated with y'all' yk things of that nature#and i'm thinking to myself...first of all?#regardless of how much respectability politics you adhere to you'll still be 'othered' by the majority#and ofc he was spreading baseless information about trans ppl#and none of it was grounded in factual evidence#'facts and logic' mfs spreading misinformation? color me shocked#he kept claiming i was 'mad' in my replies#and i was honestly entertained by his ignorance#he even went so far as to comment on some of my tiktoks to continue his fruitless endeavors#but when i opened the app half a minute later the comments and notifs were gone#this shouldn't come as much of a surprise but he blocked me after he claimed i couldn't handle the argument#and before he blocked me he also said some bs like 'i'm waiting for my response'#at this point i couldn't help but laugh#more proof in the pudding that a conservative's online presence solely consists of purposely antagonizing people#this also reminds me of another tiktok i saw a few mins ago calling out lgbt ppl for shitting on other ppl in the community#y'know the pick-mes who brag about how 'normal' they are and shit on the rest of us 'cringe' lgbt ppl#and ofc one of the top comments was a pick-me proving OPs exact point without a lick of self awareness!#if these pick-mes invested the same energy into showing solidarity with their own community for once instead it would be a miracle#anyways i'm doing fine. i'm p chill#in fact i thought this 'argument' was kinda funny#you wanted all that smoke and then blocked me right after?#what's cookin' in hell's kitchen?
