The way that the sun hits leaves and clouds. I feel like I could watch the colors change forever. If I could slow down for that long.

#i keep forgetting a have a deck now. i can go outside and sit there #im doing that now. sitting in the corner of a deck full of empty chairs. staring up at a big pine tree where the sun is striking it gold #at the top. i like how thr light hits the needles. if the sky was black it would look like its on fire #theres a tree outside my bedroom window too. in the morning. after the sunrises it catches thr light and refelcts the most perfect shade #of green. the kind of green that flutters translucent like youre looking up from the bottom of a pool. the light the light its all about #the sun. everything everything is about the sun. when i start my project I'll be focused on understanding how organisms catch the light bc #its so incredible and complicated it would make my chest swell to bursting if there wasnt an empty bleeding wound in my gut. a #metaphorical wound of course. i dunno. its just difficult bc right now my mood is inflated by hormones. not even that much i think I'm #just at what shoulf be a normal level of happiness so i can be slow for a minute. but just a minute bc i kno it won't last long #sorry i cant shut the fuck up when im like this but i dunno i just feel like i havr to document these ephemeral moments before they're gone #its just difficult when you kno the world is so full of beautiful things but 95% of the time your eyes are too clouded to see it #everyone tells me i work too much but i feel like im just staring off into space being miserable 60% of the time. ive just done so much #damage over the past few years im coming into a new lab as damaged goods. ive got an albatross around my neck in thr form of data i #collected so self destructively that the idea of having anything to do with its publication makes me hate myself. everytime someone tells #me good job on collecting so so so much data it feels like they're congratulating me for breaking something within myself. like i slit my #wrists and bled out on a lab bench and theyre saying good job and theyre excited for me and i have to grin and bear it and pretend im #excited too. but im not bc ive burned everything inside me to ash. so when im elevated enough to be distracted by the clouds and trees it #feels like healing. like seeing angels. beautiful ephemeral beams of light. i wish i could slow down enough to watch them. but now thr sun #is hitting the horizon and the sky is going gradually dark and i should go inside. bc i have many things to do in the morning. so that's #what ill do. and ill try to get more thsn 6hrs of sleep but its hard when your body is vibrating over with energy #but at least i dont feel tired in the morning. something in my head must be on fire #unrelated #hm i should maybe add a tw to this #tw self injury #but its the kind thst makes u good at ur Job. its the kind ppl reward. so they don't understand when u say its destroying ur life #but im trying to get better. i say as i gear up for an insane semester lol but i do mean it

banging head against wall

#i read a banger comic and experienced the tragedy of seeing the art style to evolve to be WORSE #it was like. just perfect up to halfway through that it slowly started to morph #WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT.. WHAT HAPPENED... #from decent distinguishable features and heads/faces to slowly getting larger wider eyes that pushed all the faces features together. why #it was so beautiful and you soiled it #are big eyes really something to butcher your whole style over. im taking out my brain and putting it in hot water to dissolve #the noses. the face shapes. they all went out the window #and now so will i #txt

a lot of the comments on that stained glass post are really funny because they assume the horse was like, a serious attempt and not me going "ok I've never used these tools before, I'm going in with no plan and just fucking up half sqft of glass while i learn how the cutter and pliers work" and then assembling the resulting shards into something vaguely resembling a horse to get the rest of the process down in my pre research fuck around and find out phase of learning a new skill.

Also the soldering looks like shit because the articles i found in the 20 minutes i was buying the stuff to start all said "flux makes the soldering better" in really vague terms without actually like, explaining that it lowers the flow point of the solder and makes the copper foil more receptive to it. so i assumed it wasn't necessary and was just used for vague betterness reasons and didn't buy any until a few days later when I started properly researching how to do things and found out it's actual job and that it's absolutely vital to the process.

So the solder isn't actually fully bound to the tape on the horse and is just like, melted overtop it following the lines of the tape. there's a distinct oval shape where the sides of the bead are up and off the tape instead of the domed shape it's actually supposed to be.

I also hadn't bought a grinder at that point bc I'm cheap and wanted to find one lightly used on ebay and also i wanted to wait for my pay check so I'd have a Little extra wiggle room with the whole shebang before i dropped 70 bucks on a tool i might not enjoy using too much.

which is to say, the whale is the first actual attempt and not the horse.

#tbh the just fuck around and find out phaze is something more people should do #learn enough to bumble fuck your way through a project and then go 'this is shit how do i do it better' #and researching each element in more depth instead of sticking with the overviews. it gives you more context for everything the #teacher is saying #like now knowing how important flux is. #anyways dont buy stained glass flux just get the lead free stuff from the hardware store. its the same chemicals for less money #ish #the hardware store varieties arnt diluted as much because they're meant to work for plumbing and such. so they're a lot stronger #but also a lot more likely to fuck you up if you dont work in a ventilated area and let the flux sit on your skin for any length of time #im lucky i dont have any like scaring from the time i got chemical burns down the entire length of my forarm because i #rested my arm on the fluxed window while i was soldering it #like theres a noticable texture difference and ive had a massive and Bad eczema patch there ever since but no scars #my arms are hairy enough you cant see it too much though so thats nice. #bfsg

i know this is my pokémon blog but i gotta say it. if you use windows i'm so fucking sorry i don't know how you guys deal with it

#modern windows is one of the most convoluted malicious operating systems i've ever seen in my fucking life #if you need windows for work or video games or something this is your sign from god to dual boot a linux distro on your computer/laptop/etc #and fuck i mean. gaming on linux is already getting a million times better than it was. and if anyone has ever told y'all that #linux was complicated to set up IGNORE THEM!!!! yes there are distros that require some assembly when installing #but there are also SOOOOO MANY that are as easy as windows to just install and start using. EASIER even #and fuck i mean i would even recommend mac over windows at this point even with mac's laundry list of problems #awful. all of it awful i tell you #i have recommendations for easy user-friendly distros. btw. if anyone's curious at all. #AND!!! THE THING ABOUT INSTALLATION!!! you can test out live version of them without ever installing them to see if you like it #if you boot it from a usb stick!!! #SO YOU CAN MAKE SURE YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH IT BEFORE EVER INSTALLING IT!!!! #like. head in my hands. haaaaate modern windows SO bad

WILLOW IM GOING CRAZY OVER YHAT POLL OMG YESSSSS

like, you and him were classmates for a long time, and maybe you knew each other through mutual friends? you’ve always had your small moments with Katsuki, like accidentally catching him stare at you, or you lending your umbrella to him with the justification of “I live close, and you hate the rain” running off before he can reject it, feelings bubbled deep within him that he’s semi conscious of but chooses to suppress. It’s been a few days that he’s been absent from school, rumours spread in the class until after a week and a half, it’s found out that he’s missing and the whole class take part in the few search partys for him in the woods near by. But nothing is found. Years pass and while you may have also felt something for him, you pushed it deep down too. But you could never shake off the feeling of being watched. It wasn’t all the time, but particularly when you were alone, it always felt like someone was with you, stalking, watching.

NDDHHDHGDEKJD SORRY THIS IS ME BEING EXCITED ABOUT YOUR NEW WIP!!! I HOPE THIS MAYBE GIVES A LITTLE INSPO?? CAN’T WAIT TO SEE HOW THEY MEET

my dear my friend my love this is us rn: 🧠 ⚡️ 🧠 beow-weow-weow-weow-weow (this is the sound of our brain waves in sync)

i can very distinctly remember being in junior high and it's like the age when people around me started to "date" ?? so i was very aware of boys, but i still found them so irritating LOL and also cute which was so unfortunate. SO — i can easily see this being similar, when you are in some classes with bakugou and he's like 😒 such a brat and a know-it-all and a lil bully 😒 but sometimes you get paired up for projects or in games or happen to sit together at lunch or walk home together and it's like. he's still a pain in the ass !!! but your heart is racing and so is his and you're both kind of thinking like. no one would know if we had a first kiss rn 👀 ajfheuajq idk !!

and that's all you have of him once he disappears 🥺 on a school trip nonetheless !! midoriya and todoroki remember him being right there ??? and then he was gone ??? and you aren't on the school trip, so you just kind of hear rumors about it until the boys return very suddenly, sooner than they were supposed to. and now it's a thing, on the local news and stuff 🥺 and you're still young, so it's so odd !! to have known a boy with his face on the television and your parents asking if you knew him and having class called out so you can volunteer in searching for him 🥺 SAD !!

(you start to have these weird nightmares after that. when you wake up in the middle of the night and feel something, but you're so frozen with fear that you can't even move your head to look out the window, because you're afraid to see the red eyes staring back at you.)

#anon friend you live in my lil brain 💕 #you know all my lil secrets #and then you see him again like ten years later and he's actually not thay far from home but it's still a few hours #and he's huge akfbrvais and his hair is a teeny bit longer than you remember and he's like grouchy brat x 10 djfheiajq LOL #and you're really not sure how he knew where you were when your car broke down 🤔 in the middle of nowhere 🤔 on a long stretch of road 🤔 #in the middle of the night 🤔 #odd 🤔 #and why is he keeping the window down as he drives as if you smell bad or something 🤔 #also how have so many people voted in that poll those numbers have to be fake LOL 💀 #๑ but god i like it: bakugou ๑ #✿ ask willow

i think part of why i love tsp is i love horror but hate threats

#no monsters in that game! the horror comes from your solitude #you are the only one in there! you are the map’s sole living occupant #when you see that rare glimpse of the employee walking through the window you don’t feel /fear.: #you feel /relief./ #relief that slowly dwindles as you realize you will never get to interact with this npc #you’re as alone as ever #and the game knows this!!! it knows it!!! #your sole company is the narrator- a disembodied voice. that’s it. nobody else #(yes i know the curator the timekeeper/settings person but you get my point) #and some of the most unsettling moments in the game are moments when the narrator is quiet #the playtester ending where you fall out of bounds and he can’t follow you #the infinite hole in that moment where he leaves and you can’t do anything but wait #do i even need to explain the skip ending. the distress in the narrator’s voice- the distress YOU feel at being forced to leave him alone #he actually has a really interesting bit of dialogue in there. to paraphrase- ‘if you can hear me then maybe i’m real’ #i feel this line perfectly encapsulates the loneliness of this game #it is just you and a voice. each confirming that the other is there. that the other has an impact. that their actions mean something #that they’re real. #and what’s CRAZY about it is that it’s not even a horror game!!!! #is that part of it? yes undeniably. but the game is about choice #the narrator says so all the time #GOD it’s so good. one of those games that turns you into a philosopher #another reason i like tsp is because the narrator is relatable lmao #i too love to go on long tangential rambles and use purple prose and i too will be distressed if nobody listens to them #might be why the skip ending seems to frighten me extra #anyways i think more art should focus on the horror of loneliness and effects of solitude on the soul #i could write a goddamn essay on this shit. actually i might i loveeeeee analysis

Y’all 😳 My favorite neighbor’s house is on fire and her cats are in there 😰😰

#pls cross your fingers that they fled to the basement 😟 #the first floor and the basement seem to be okay #it started in the attic #i heard the windows blow out one by one from my room but i didn’t look outside to see what it was until i heard all the sirens #I think something exploded #It kept reigniting but it is mostly out now #I’m so sad for her #she’s not even concerned about the house she just wants her girls to be okay 🥺 #like obv she is concerned about the house but you know what i mean #fucked up: flames that came out and landed on the roof did so in the shape of a smiley face as if it’s a cruel April fools joke

[goldiipond]

so desktop tumblr decided a small unintrusive messaging window that matched the colors of whatever blog you were talking to was too fun and replaced it with a colorless box that takes up a third of the space on my dash and is, in fact, so large that the notifs/settings/asks/whatever bar covers both the url of the person (who cannot be identified through unique blog colors anymore) and the x i need to click to close the window. yes this is surely a good and needed change and our most pressing area of concern among this site’s many issues. to close the window you need to either load a different page or open someones blog on your dash to remove the top bar and click the x. weee need your money to continue bringing you the changes that really matter like this one. try our new game where you give us real-life money for our crab pngs and see how many you can summon to make the remaining 2/3rds of your window completely unrecognizable you piece of shit

#skye's ramblings #WJAT IS THE OINT OF THIS!!! WHO BENEFITS. KILLS YOU #i dont even regularly get messages from anyone besides ash but like. why did the feel the need to change this #this plus their interest in phasing out custom blog themes really just feels like that one 'no fun allowed' image. tbh #icould see how the smaller window couldve been an accessabilty issue MAYBE. but saying tumblr typically cares abt accessibility is. funny #at least size it correctly so ican get it off my screen when im done. i hate you #yknow tumblrs recent changes are really reminding me of when i tried to use twt to interact w my pm/tok friends there #and lasted like. a few days? before abandoning it bc everything abt the way that site operates is insufferable to me #look me in my eyes. i am talking directly into your ear now. if you turn tumblr into a bootleg twitter i will do something unforgivable

OMG THERES A FUCKING HONDURAN FLAG EMOJI 🇭🇳 !!!!!

#ive had so many people just assume my dad was mexican. hes not hes honduran #had kids tell me to jump the border and go home mad fucked up to be mixed in a southern school tbe racial profiling despite being raised #by my white family was uhm...something alright like cool i literally have never stepped foot in my fathers homeland. #i want to get in touch with the part of me I was pressured to disreguard to fit in #theres somethings from my childhood that I find nostalgic like tres leche cake and tamales which is so bare bones but its #really hard to connect to your roots when you do not live with the parent whos roots they are and were pressured to whitewash #your identity to avoid being ridiculed for the crime of existing #imagine being the only hispanic kid in your graduating class #it was awful #anyway! sorry not meaning to vent /gen i am genuinely excited to see the flag #my dad use to have one stapled over a window in his livingroom haha

[rohirric-hunter]

I went to buy a laptop last month and I told the sales guy that I was looking for something portable primarily to write on and he recommended some of the smaller computers that had Windows 11 version S on them. I wasn’t especially familiar with it but fortunately my dad thought to ask what that was and the sales guy explained that it was Microsoft’s answer to the Chromebook; a smaller, lightweight OS that could only install programs from the app store and was meant primarily browsing the web. It would run Microsoft Word just fine, he assured me, unless I preferred Google Drive?

He was somewhat surprised when I immediately said I didn’t want that, and seemed confused, so I explained to him that my writing program of choice is a program some dude coded in his basement and shares online for free, supported by an open source MS Word alternative for print formatting; my music player of choice is another free open source program; and my outlining program of choice is a single-purchase mindmapping program developed by a smaller software company. And the only way to get any of these on a computer is to download and install them from a web browser.

#to his credit after i explained that he started showing me full windows computers #like he did respond to what i needed and not just try to sell me something i didnt want #but i did not buy one from him because i found a more powerful computer online for almost half the price #he had a LOT of chromebooks and chromebook-like computers #back to school stuff i assume #i see why theyre popular for school purposes. all most students need and hard to get viruses on #but i feel that young kids should have a full laptop if youre going to give them a computer #teach em responsibility #make em learn early how to recognize viruses and what you have to do if you do get one #anyway i was using itunes for a while but i forgot how much the apple update thingummy that comes with it gums up my computer #so im switching it over to vlc #its less intuitive but im figuring it out #its a MUCH lower load on my system

welcome to summer, where flies somehow spawn in your bedroom seemingly from thin air!

#ashton is talking #i've killed... maybe 4 by now? #i've definitely killed two #the problem is i don't know if i killed the third and a fourth just spawned #or if the third is just impossibly resilient #i'm hoping there's not a hole in my window screen that i'm just not seeing #and that they're sneaking in from the living room whenever i leave my room #cuz i don't wanna close my window #fun fact: if you have a stuffed animal full of something like beans #they make excellent fly killer if you chuck it at them hard enough #it's how i've been killing all the flies so far #probably not fluff filled stuffed animals since those are softer #at the very least if you don't wanna outright kill the flies the fluff filled ones might be good to injure them #that way they're not flying around your room

Sick of jerking off to porn now i just look up pictures of kiryu in his little grey tracksuit whenever i need to cum

#Yakuza loveblog #unzipping it down to his bellybutton and then sticking my hands inside #salivating whenever he gets really sad and puts on his comfy clothes and smokes sitting on the floor of his bedroom/living room #i literally need to mess his hair up and grind on his face and i take his cigarette and flick it out the window and kiss him #and he just tastes like smoke like what did i expect ... hee hee ... kisses him again #i hate this fit because its so fucking cute like he really is in pjs ... ready for bed. fuck. ... i want him badly #grey sweatpants kiryu (you see me shaking violently and hear my teeth chattering) taking a bite out of his cock through his pants #just ripping it open so i can fuck him faster hes like my little bag of popcorn puts him in the microwave #kissing him all over ... cant stand him ... hes so cute hes my favourite .... sorry i put my boyfriend in the microwave and let it run for #twenty minutes yeah he was gone within the first ten seconds but i wanted to keep going .... #sorry if you wanted him as well hes gone now. im sad too but i think we all can learn something from this #which is dont microwave your boyfriend too long. sorry again. i know you liked him

#in particular: why do they think that he'd be bitchy /to lxc/ who would only tolerate it with an angelic expression aaaaugh #like. yes. 'being able to stop forcing a smile and sincerely express his negative emotions' is i think be something jgy would want in a rs #BUT i totally don't see him as like. midori from norwegian wood who describes love as ordering your s/o to come fetch you a cake THIS #instant then immediately yeeting it outta the window like 'actually i wanted another cake' and the s/o going 'you're right i'm stupid sorry' #jgy does not... want the power to force people to tolerate his capricious behaviours... if there's something he really truly shares with wwx #then i'd say is the cottagecore fantasy; or rather -- they just want a peaceful existence. jgy additionally wants to help people #but i super don't think he's this kind of lower class person whose life goal is to be decked in as much gucci/prada/whateverthefuckelse as #possible; have 10 servants at his beck n call and throw money and influence around #and i am just Puzzled that other people seem to -- at least to a degree -- think otherwise #anyway: donmai donmai this is just a random rantpost i am hereby going back 2 postcorpsening #postcorpsefuckening...fuckening... hm #shrimp thoughts

“what’s a little gaslighting between neighbors? :)” LMAOOOO

#- my mom 2022 #i had to move a chair to grab something from the top+back of a shelf and our downstairs neighbor immediately called my mom about noise #i was very gentle with the chair btw. #and my mom fully knowing that it was me went ‘idk we weren’t really doing anything. noise travels in this building you know it was probably #some other apartment. who knows’ #context this is a neighbor that calls us for any and everything and has ppl from the building accross us spy on us for her #not joking. one time she went up to my mom saying did you know your son is smoking out of his window and throwing the ashes down #i wasn’t doing that. it was someone from the apartment above probably #when my mom asked how she saw since she’s below us and can’t see our windows she fully admitted #that she got other nosy old ladies to spy on us

[mcmansionhell]

we've found it folks: mcmansion heaven

Hello everyone. It is my pleasure to bring you the greatest house I have ever seen. The house of a true visionary. A real ad-hocist. A genuine pioneer of fenestration. This house is in Alabama. It was built in 1980 and costs around $5 million. It is worth every penny. Perhaps more.

Now, I know what you're thinking: "Come on, Kate, that's a little kooky, but certainly it's not McMansion Heaven. This is very much a house in the earthly realm. Purgatory. McMansion Purgatory." Well, let me now play Beatrice to your Dante, young Pilgrim. Welcome. Welcome, welcome, welcome.

It is rare to find a house that has everything. A house that wills itself into Postmodernism yet remains unable to let go of the kookiest moments of the prior zeitgeist, the Bruce Goffs and Earthships, the commune houses built from car windshields, the seventies moments of psychedelic hippie fracture. It is everything. It has everything. It is theme park, it is High Tech. It is Renaissance (in the San Antonio Riverwalk sense of the word.) It is medieval. It is maybe the greatest pastiche to sucker itself to the side of a mountain, perilously overlooking a large body of water. Look at it. Just look.

The inside is white. This makes it dreamlike, almost benevolent. It is bright because this is McMansion Heaven and Gray is for McMansion Hell. There is an overbearing sheen of 80s optimism. In this house, the credit default swap has not yet been invented, but could be.

It takes a lot for me to drop the cocaine word because I think it's a cheap joke. But there's something about this example that makes it plausible, not in a derogatory way, but in a liberatory one, a sensuous one. Someone created this house to have a particular experience, a particular feeling. It possesses an element of true fantasy, the thematic. Its rooms are not meant to be one cohesive composition, but rather a series of scenes, of vastly different spatial moments, compressed, expanded, bright, close.

And then there's this kitchen for some reason. Or so you think. Everything the interior design tries to hide, namely how unceasingly peculiar the house is, it is not entirely able to because the choices made here remain decadent, indulgent, albeit in a more familiar way.

Rare is it to discover an interior wherein one truly must wear sunglasses. The environment created in service to transparency has to somewhat prevent the elements from penetrating too deep while retaining their desirable qualities. I don't think an architect designed this house. An architect would have had access to specifically engineered products for this purpose. Whoever built this house had certain access to architectural catalogues but not those used in the highest end or most structurally complex projects. The customization here lies in the assemblage of materials and in doing so stretches them to the height of their imaginative capacity. To borrow from Charles Jencks, ad-hoc is a perfect description. It is an architecture of availability and of adventure.

A small interlude. We are outside. There is no rear exterior view of this house because it would be impossible to get one from the scrawny lawn that lies at its depths. This space is intended to serve the same purpose, which is to look upon the house itself as much as gaze from the house to the world beyond.

Living in a city, I often think about exhibitionism. Living in a city is inherently exhibitionist. A house is a permeable visible surface; it is entirely possible that someone will catch a glimpse of me they're not supposed to when I rush to the living room in only a t-shirt to turn out the light before bed. But this is a space that is only exhibitionist in the sense that it is an architecture of exposure, and yet this exposure would not be possible without the protection of the site, of the distance from every other pair of eyes. In this respect, a double freedom is secured. The window intimates the potential of seeing. But no one sees.

At the heart of this house lies a strange mix of concepts. Postmodern classicist columns of the Disney World set. The unpolished edge of the vernacular. There is also an organicist bent to the whole thing, something more Goff than Gaudí, and here we see some of the house's most organic forms, the monolith- or shell-like vanity mixed with the luminous artifice of mirrors and white. A backlit cave, primitive and performative at the same time, which is, in essence, the dialectic of the luxury bathroom.

And yet our McMansion Heaven is still a McMansion. It is still an accumulation of deliberate signifiers of wealth, very much a construction with the secondary purpose of invoking envy, a palatial residence designed without much cohesion. The presence of golf, of wood, of masculine and patriarchal symbolism with an undercurrent of luxury drives that point home. The McMansion can aspire to an art form, but there are still many levels to ascend before one gets to where God's sitting.
