Progress not perfection

the horrors persist but so do books, art, hot chocolate, winter nights, the moon, the sea, the stars, sunsets, literature, libraries, cats, flowers, stories, love and the wistful feeling you get when you finally return home

if theres one thing that really pissed me off from my 3 years of architecture i took in high school it's learning about how we used to have all these little techniques to maximize or minimize heat or warmth and now we just merrily abandoned all those to have the same copypaste style buildings everywhere that are often INCREDIBLY unoptimized to the local weather and climate so we can just throw more money at our heating and cooling bills

where i live it is hot as balls approximately 80% of the year. i do not want a massive butt-ugly grey mcmansion with a huge echoey open-concept kitchen-livingroom-foyer-diningroom-staircase that has huge windows so i can have an hvac unit the size of a barge heaving and straining to keep it at a constant 72 the grees. i want a north indian traditional style home with small windows to force the airflow to cool, decorative grates to limit the amount of sunlight, and a COURTYARD with a POND *smashes unspecified large object*

I hate learning about instances of "oh yeah we know how to do that, we just don't".

crazy how i find myself thinking i've got a handle on it all finally and then i see the ways that other people tangle their lives together so easily and live so easily together with their friends and i feel like that girl at the top of the stairs painting by norman rockwell

We have got to destroy the rhetorical construct of the disabled person whose family members/friends/partners are burdened by caring for then, not because of the absence of proper disability care under capitalism, but because of the disabled person's inherent selfishness/laziness/"weaponized incompetence." We have got to.

You ever think about many peices of media have zero women and thats just perfectly normal but if a peice of media has an all female cast people get... like that? Women should be allowed to kill over this btw

For a second I didn’t realize it meant “high” as in a stoner--I thought “High Geologist” was like a rank of geologist or something and he was insulted you would challenge him to naming stones

Can’t believe he’s ace

"it's just stress" oh thank god, it's just the silent killer that slowly kills you, perfectly harmless, no need to worry

"Wow, you're really good at this, you should do this professionally" okay but have you considered that I don't want to because that would suck all the fun out of this thing that I do for fun and entertainment and it's actually a conscious choice to not do this professionally because that would destroy the very reason I do this to begin with

"You should monetize this hobby" You should go outside and leave me alone

craziest thing in the world is how many restaurants have started not including fries or any side whatsoever with their burgers meanwhile the burgers cost the downpayment on a new car. you want $19 for a fucking sandwich and you aint gonna give me even a scoop of coleslaw on the side? you’ve truly lost your fucking mind. i’m filing a class action lawsuit atp

You love fat women so much but you won't learn about fatphobia, refusing to acknowledge it exists, ignoring the fat experience at all costs, with all the discrimination, medical murder, and suffering that fatphobia causes? Fat women don't owe you the time of day. Pick up a book and examine your biases, or you are just another dehumanizing, fetishizing coward in a sea of them.

also black tumblr users are targeted disproportionately! esp black trans women!

Luke Skywalker put away his targeting computer to destroy the Death Star so I don't need AI to help me write an email.
