life is a party & i get to choose the color scheme

Slow train journeys in rural England sure are an experience. You're going ten miles and it takes a day and a half because it stops at every lamp-post and the announcement says "The next station stop is Ferretley" or something and you think "I didn't know that was a place" and you get there and it isn't

Last stop was literally a picket fence, enough chopped wood to build another picket fence and, briefly, a train.

antis hate AO3 because it's staunchly anti-censorship, yes, but they also hate AO3 because 1) they can't mass-report fanfiction they don't like, 2) the fanfiction they do report almost never gets taken down, 3) if they harass an author, it's very likely that they'll be reported and suspended, and 4) they seemingly don't understand how non-profits work.

who is telling all these british actors they got to be in the harry potter bullshit or they'll get executed

so sad to hear about the bomb in nicolas hoult's ass that will go off unless he pretends to be gilderoy lockheart on hbo

Being able to draw older people as attractive without reducing or erasing the visual signs of aging, and in fact showing that they're attractive because of those signs, is an artistic skill that should be valued so much more. Honestly, it should earn you an immediate fortune because holy fuck is it a rare commodity. There are so many artists who seem to think attractiveness and aging exist in opposition to each other, so they smooth every wrinkle, erase every crease, and de-age the character until they're basically thirty with silver hair. But when an artist can look at crow's feet, smile lines, weathered skin, deep-set wrinkles, and all the little traces of a life well lived and say, "No, that's what makes them beautiful," that's a level of artistic observation and care I wish we celebrated more often.

Mycoprotein is fucking cool, vat-grown meat is fucking cool, believe me I am fucking down for figuring out efficient calories and I’m interested in attempting to reduce or eliminate animal agriculture but you wouldn’t want me to sneak-feed you cricket flour, you don’t get to sneak-feed me your stuff.

Also, insect protein can cause severe reactions to people with shellfish allergies, so that’s another reason not to feed cricket flour to people without telling them.

If you have spoken to the person about alternative ingredients and know they’re willing to try it but don’t want to throw off the experiment with preconceptions about the taste, then you can surprise them with the timing of ingredients they’ve confirmed they can eat. Otherwise, Do Not.

one thing abt me is that I can't recognize veneers and I can't tell when someone's hair is a wig and I can't clock fake accents even when they're done pretty badly and I'm also bad with faces. all that to say I would be insanely vulnerable to hijinks/capers

idk who needs to hear this but it’s healthier for you to just accept that you’re gonna be kinda fat than it is to live the rest of your life miserably trying to monitor yourself to maintain a skinny weight your body doesn’t want to hold onto
