god my favorite part of knitting/crocheting/etc is watching string become fabric. crumpling it in my hands. this fabric would’ve never existed had I not willed it into being. it isn’t fabric, it’s time made physical. made material. isn’t that the high of crafting? you mold time between your hands and put it into other people’s hands. my least favorite part is when my cat tries to cram the whole yarn ball into his mouth
im having feelings about the uffington white horse again
so essentially there’s this cool horse drawn into the hills in england made out of chalk and it’s like 3,000 years old.
people carved trenches 3,000 years ago and filled them with chalk in the shape of a horse but what’s interesting is that if you fail to maintain the horse by adding new chalk regularly, it will disappear. for 3,000 years, we’ve been filling in chalk in this horse so it doesn’t disappear.
we’ll never know what the purpose of the horse was originally. we’ll never know if it had ritual or spiritual significance or if it was just art. but we do know that people maintained it then, and, even though the meaning of the horse has long been lost to time, we continue to maintain it now.
the people who made this horse are long dead, but they live through us still, don’t you think?
Tumblr Blaze is very good because tumblr correctly deduced that if they ran a real advertising service using targeted demographics we’d have burnt this site to the ground, but ALSO correctly deduced that we would be overjoyed to collectively pay large amounts of money to spread shitposts onto completely random dashes in a delighted flurry of slightly malicious mischief. You really do gotta hand it to em on this one, A+ problem solving.
Incredible content brought to MY DASH with OTHER PEOPLE’S money? Yeah, I’ll support that
By every metric this is a far worse and less efficient version of both advertising and site-curated content, a combination of both techniques that makes each one shit at what it’s supposed to do, but it’s the only form of them that we will embrace.
People commented that they want this hoodie so shirt bots took the horrible writing on this piece and made a shirt/hoodie out of it, even though this isn’t even something original and available in HQ on various places around the internet, so now they look like idiots 😩
i love that post thats like “never trust how you feel about your life after 9pm” that shit changed my life. every time i feel bad i look at the clock and i’m like Aha It’s 10:26 PM You Cannot Fucking Fool Me
everytime i go back to cheeb style im reminded i love it
CUTIES. im always a sucker for pokemon aus guys and tbh…… im having too much fun designing these kids… if anyone breathes in my direction i’ll tell u the poketeams i chose for em
final iteration this time i swear!! all the kids in their glory
yamada and aizawa have been married since their young years, then adopted toshi and eri later. still with their sad backstories but not as horrifically sad since pokemon is for kids folks
since one (1) person asked for my teams, i’ll reveal my starters for em (my personal onion, do not come for me)!!!!
yamada - chatot. i struggled w this one but in the end i gave in to popular fandom onion. apparently chatot can imitate other pkmn noises so that would be entertaining for babymic aizawa - eevee. giving him umbreon was a no brainer. i think this also was a popular fandom onion? i know eevee’s kinda fox-like but i’ll let it slide….. hitoshi - drifloon. hit em with the sad orphan backstory u mad lad! he thought drifloon would whisk him away from his orphanage eri - applin, bc OF COURSE I HAVE EYES. she has other support pkmn but applin was the one who brought her out of her shy lil shell
I’ll 👏 ship 👏 whatever 👏 the 👏 fuck 👏 I 👏 want 👏 thanks
Actually 👏 many 👏 postal 👏 services👏 have 👏 rules 👏 and 👏 regulations 👏 on 👏 what 👏 you 👏 can 👏 and 👏 cannot 👏 ship 👏 many 👏 regulations 👏 depend 👏 on 👏 the 👏 destination 👏 weight 👏 and 👏 content 👏
The weirdest instance of “getting my wires crossed” I’ve ever experienced: I had a piece of candy at my desk. My intention was to simultaneously eat the candy and start a brief work task. I put the candy in my mouth and felt a surge of alarm as I was convinced, for a fraction of a second, that I had somehow eaten the task I was about to start.
