had a moment of weakness today
very into films from a child’s perspective about the weirdness, imagination and perversity of childhood at the moment
my recommendations:
The Reflecting Skin, 1990, dir. Philip Ridley
Poison for the Fairies, 1986, dir. Carlos Enrique Taboada
Celia, 1989, dir. Ann Turner
Angela, 1995, dir. Rebecca Miller
Tideland, 2005, dir. Terry Gilliam
Ponette, 1996, dir. Jacques Doillon
The Spirit of the Beehive, 1973, dir. Victor Erice
Heavenly Creatures, 1994, dir. Peter Jackson
Ratcatcher, 1999, dir. Lynne Ramsay
Cría cuervos, 1976, dir. Carlos Saura
Don’t Deliver Us from Evil, 1971, dir. Joël Séria
Oh, Moon!, 1988, dir. Reha Erdem
The Innocents, 2021, dir. Eskil Vogt
The Other, 1972, dir. Robert Mulligan
This is one of my favorite kinds of movies, and these are great recs. I would add a few:
Fanny and Alexander, 1982, dir. Ingmar Bergman
Parents, 1989, dir. Bob Balaban
The Curse of the Cat People, 1944, dir. Robert Wise & Gunther von Fritsch
I Start Counting, 1970, dir. David Greene
Laurin, 1989, dir. Robert Sigl
Lemora, 1973, dir. Richard Blackburn
Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, 1970, dir. Jaromil Jireš
I Start Counting, Laurin, Lemora and Valerie are more coming of age stories, but I think they still fit.
And perhaps it's considerably different from the others, but I'd also recommend The World Is Full of Secrets, 2018, dir. Graham Swon.
and if you turn to ur left you’ll see the emos
is that my chemical romance?
OH MY GOD not every group of emos is my chemical romance stfu tumblr
but it actually is my chemical romance
I love that Jules Verne asked the question "What kind of person could circumnavigate the world in 80 days?" and decided that the answer was not a groundbreaking explorer or genius inventor, but a guy who's really, really, really obsessed with train and boat schedules.
my final paper for my CS degree was literally "how can we algorithmically optimise for the fastest possible circumnavigation route on commercial flights?", which incidentally required me to adopt a very good working knowledge of what flight options are available at what times (and also led to me accidentally memorising several hundred airport codes)
incidentally the fastest possible route seems to be about 51 hours, if you're working from 2022 schedules like i was. if you use current schedules and are very optimistic about how quickly you can transfer between flights, you can maybe get it down to around 48 hours (also known as 25 millivernes).
The very best thing about tumblr is that you can make a post about a 154-year-old novel and get responses like this.
Someday I'm gonna.

Queer-Friendly Indie Tabletop RPG #137: This world has no patriarchy or gender inequality, yet somehow evolved exactly the same cultural institutions as every other generically medieval fantasy milieu.
Me: And we're not gonna delve into that even a little bit, huh?
Queer-Friendly Indie Tabletop RPG #137: Here's 5000 words exploring the implications of undead skeletons being fully integrated members of society.
Me: Okay, now you're just fucking with me.
#“now go off into the world and kill 'tribes' of bandits and goblins without moral compunctions” (via @bombussyaffinis)
To be fair, sometimes it's more along the lines of "our goblins have exactly the same stereotypical traits and propensities as their Dungeons & Dragons counterparts, but the text awkwardly tries to spin those as virtues".
(My personal favourite is "yes, our goblins do break into people's houses and take everything that isn't nailed down, but they're not thieves, they're just immutably genetically programmed to be absolute socialists and are literally incapable of grasping the concepts of privacy or personal possessions no matter how it's explained to them".)
I've thought about this a lot and when it comes to dealing with things like enshittification, your only real power is to just walk away and do without. I'm not even talking boycott, that involves a lot of people walking away, I'm just talking about yourself, singular. Maybe you can get other people to join you but that's not the point here. You need to be able to just let it go, deal with whatever loss you might have from it (because I recognize that yes, there's still something holding you there, even if it's not great), and move on. It's recognizing that it's not going to go back to how you remember it, it's going to keep getting shittier, it's going to keep costing more and more for less and less, and in the end, you need, for your own sake, to just let it drop.
Of course there's always the, "But hey! You don't have to! You can pirate it/go to this other service/Poob/install Linux/get this other software that's just like it (sort of maybe kind of)!" thing too but in the end, maybe you just have to not have whatever it is anymore. This isn't even a social statement really. I could say, "Hey, this companies are doing awful things with the money you're giving them" and they are but that's not why I'm saying this. It's just picking a spot where you say, "You know what? I'm tired of being irritated by this all the time while more and more of my money gets sucked up by it."
I mean, you basically sell part of your life for money. Every hour you spend working for money is an hour of your life you will never, ever get back. So how much of your life are you willing to give to this thing that doesn't really bring you joy anymore and doesn't really give you what it used to or promised to and never really delivered on? Let it go. Walk away. Find the place to breathe easier.
I think those fancomics where Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes is transgender are cute and fun but I also think it's a deep misunderstanding of Calvin's character to think he would transition into a heterosexual normie who goes to her high school reunion. That girl would have neopronouns and fang implants
Adult Calvin is a tattoo artist named Panthera who is the bassist in a terrible metal band called Captain Napalm and Hobbes helps do faer E injections
I know it's like 2 weeks too late to change it but I'm so mad I didn't realize that the band would obviously be called "Get Rid Of Slimy GirlS". I walk the road of shame

if someone gets killed by a grizzly bear or a polar bear it’s like “Damn, that’s unfortunate. Luck of the draw.” but if someone gets killed by a black bear you’re like “What did they do to that bear to make it that angry?”

Literally obsessed with this image.
I heavily recommend getting very good at spotting Meta glasses. Like I'm talking so good all you need is a glance. Otherwise, I would go about public life bearing in mind that more and more people are wearing expensive camera glasses that can record you without you realizing.
Learn how to identify smart glasses through visual cues, behavioral patterns, and recording indicators. Handle privacy concerns with this pr
Ready or not, the smart glasses future is upon us.
With smart glasses, there are concerns around being recorded. Fortunately, you can watch for indicator lights and certain movements as a way
Here are some basic primers. If someone is wearing what look like Meta glasses, they usually have a small circular camera in the outer corners of the lenses, like the one on your phone.
I would also regularly check their own product pages so you're on top of what the models look like. They tend to have larger frames, but come in a variety of shapes and colors.
Shop every style. Every color. Prices from $299 to $499. Browse Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta AI glasses and sunglasses to find your pair.
The creator of Nearby Glasses made the app after reading 404 Media's coverage of how people are using Meta's Ray-Bans smartglasses to film p
A new hobbyist developed app warns if people nearby may be wearing smart glasses, such as Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses, which stalkers and harassers have repeatedly used to film people without their knowledge or consent. The app scans for smart glasses’ distinctive Bluetooth signatures and sends a push alert if it detects a potential pair of glasses in the local area.
The app comes as companies such as Meta continue to add AI-powered features to their glasses. Earlier this month The New York Times reported Meta was working on adding facial recognition to its smart glasses. “Name Tag,” as the feature is called, would let smart glasses wearers identify people and get information about them from Meta's AI assistant, the report said.
I am against Meta and everything they stand for but I’m curious if peoples’ opinions would change about someone wearing them as a disability aid?
Not necessarily, because Meta has military contracts (source 1, source 2, source 3), is testing surveillance tech on their own employees and their customers (source 4, source 5), and there are at least two class action lawsuits against them for privacy violations (source 6, source 7, source 8). There is also some sketchy stuff about workers being forced to review material, which may or may not be used without the customer's permission, that is sensitive, graphic, and/or pornographic (source 9).
The American Foundation for the Blind has said that "The Ray-Ban Meta glasses are an accessibility tool only by coincidence. That makes them more affordable and, in many ways, unaware of the needs of users with reduced vision" although they do have seemingly positive views on Meta Glasses as a whole. (source 10). It also seems like their marketing push as accessibility devices began last year (source 11).
But to add even more into the nonsense, Meta is now toying around with adding a "limit" to the functionality of their glasses unless their users pay for more access (source 12). AND, as stated above, Meta has officially added facial recognition code in their glasses and only admitted it after being called out, which is basically the death of privacy as we know it (source 13, source 14, source 15). And oh look another lawsuit because of it (source 16) THAT THEY LOST (source 17)!
Long story short: I don't begrudge someone using them as a disability aid overall, but ultimately both their privacy and other people's privacy are being disregarded by Meta and that is not and should not be acceptable by any means.
I understand there is no ethical consumption under capitalism but there is a level of personal responsibility someone has to take when using them if they truly truly need them, such as opting out of sharing information, not filming strangers without permission, not posting footage of strangers online, opting out of facial recognition if possible, etc.
Disabled people deserve assistive technology AND privacy rights, and Meta is not the solution.
i was so naive in thinking that spirk shippers were exaggerating. what the fuck is wrong with these two.
SPOCK HAS A MATING CYCLE?????
I used to make fun of people who insisted on using super toxic heavy metal paints when we can synthesize basically any color until I got into miniatures painting and like... I still try to have the ones I'm touching constantly be nontoxic, my azo yellow ink is fine, turbodork yuzu works for some of the more magical elements, but the cadmium yellow is just better. It is more yellow. Everyone I've shown the bottles to side by side agrees - it is the yellower yellow. My big models deserve it.
I did make sure to swap my paint water cup for one I won't accidentally drink out of though (mason jar with a pony in it). Probably shouldn't be eating or drinking out of anything that's touched my old workspace tbh.
Tabletop gaming has always had a special relationship with toxic materials even compared to most other arts. At least we (usually) only need to be concerned about the paints these days – it's really only within the last twenty years that it's become safe to assume metal miniatures don't have lead in them!
(We're not just talking trace amounts, either. Ral Partha was selling metal minis whose alloys consisted of up to 80% lead as late as 1993.)
I don't know what's more annoying, online shopping for clothes and clicking on a size chart and it doesn't show the measurements for a size it says it has and you have to guess or clicking on a size chart and it shoes a size that isn't actually available for clothes you really want.
These are both eclipsed by having the typical gendered clothing options, Men or Women, and then not having the big and tall/plus size clothes even under those but under something else like Other. I swear it's like, "It's over here, fatty. We don't even see you as a gendered person (and we don't mean this in a good way)."
On par with that is going to re-purchase clothes you already own and liked and finding out they don't make them in your size anymore or it's only available now in the most awful/dull colors imaginable. Seething is perhaps the way I'm feeling right now.
OK, related to the above but not really related, just kind of a minor gripe, why does all men's style underwear now seem to be boxer briefs? That shit is uncomfortable, especially with big thighs. Like just get boxers or just get briefs. It's like a spork but not fun and cheerful, just annoying with bad support and legs that roll up. You know, if a spork had legs I guess.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled trans bunny girl shitposting to bring you... some actually pretty distressing news
City government has been doing some repairs on my neighborhood's water supply, the problem is that with the constant raind and flooding the repairs keep getting delayed
Which means we've been having to make do with no potable water for the past 6 days. Mind you we can still get bottled water instead, but that stuff is WAY MORE EXPENSIVE than just water from the tap
soooo I'd just like to ask y'all to help me and my family keep paying for our drinking water... which is kind of a fucked thing to have to do on tumblr dot com, but such is life

Thank you everyone for your help either with money and with boosting and I hope this mess gets solved soon
