here's where to find it on windows 10
Ugh, it was in mine. It's off now.
IT GETS WORSE
I had to turn this off, but it's something that allows Windows and anyone using your device to generate text/images.

i do appreciate the way that we tumblr users have evolved our language to discuss our feelings related to The Character/The Guy. you used to have to just say he was hot or he was making your ovaries explode or he was a precious cinnamon roll even if he looked bad or was just kind of standing there or whatever. now you can say things like “the creature” or “he looks so sopping wet here” or “i want to chain him to my radiator” like it’s just more inclusive and adaptable to the situation
as someone on the asexual spectrum, this shift in language genuinely made me feel more comfortable and happy in fandom spaces. i've never once wanted to lick a man's abs. i HAVE wanted to chain a man to my radiator. and that's beautiful.
Rotating the blorbo in the microwave of your mind just says so much. No specifics needed.
Important question
Okay but I think these two are onto something

“bits to use in everyday conversations”
i told my dad the joke “dad jokes are just mom jokes that a man repeated louder” and he thought it was hilarious. he turned to my mother, intending to relay the joke to her, and a bare second after he opened his mouth i watched it dawn on his face that he was about to become the subject of the joke. when i tell you that man was slackjawed as he turned back to me, like he had an entire life altering realization in the span of about 20 seconds.
hey. you have to love your trans brothers of color okay. and your trans sisters of color. and your nonbinary siblings of color. you have to okay. its simply non-optional

Description from page 464:
Fashions for May
Fig. 1. — Walking-Dress, of Thin Woolen Material. The skirt is finished about the bottom with three ruffles, the upper one of which has two or three rows of shirring and a narrow upright ruffle. The overdress has a long rounded apron-front, and is fully draped at the back. The bodice is plain, and the jacket opens below the waist, shows the bodice and is finished with a deep plaited ruffle. Bonnet of brown straw, trimmed with brown velvet, bows of ribbon, and upright feathers.
Fig. 2. — Visiting-Dress, of Light-Yellow India Silk, figured with a bronze spot. The lower skirt is quite plain. The overskirt is long in front, fraped high at the sides, and quite full over the tournure at the back. The bodice has three points in the back, and two very long points in front; the latter are finished by dahlia-colored watered silk. Straw hat, faced and trimmed with the same colored silk and feathers.
Fig. 3. — House-Dress, of Lilac-Colored Foulard. The lower skirt has plaitings of the silk around the bottom, and is trimmed with two rows of colored lace. The overskirt has a long shawl-front, the points falling to the right side of the skirt. The skirt at the back is undraped, but is worn over a large tournure. The bodice is cut square in front; is full, below the opening, to the waist, where it is gathered in a point; and has a shawl-drapery on the shoulders, over white crèpe-lisse folds.
Fig. 4. — House-Dress, of White Muslin, the skirt trimmed with three ruffles figured with roses. The high bodice is made slightly full, back and front, and has a large plaited collar of the figured material. The sash is of pink, white, and green plaid ribbon.
Fig. 5. — Walking-Dress, of Gray Nun’s-Veiling. The underskirt is made of a soft thin woolen material, striped longitudinally with a much darker shade of gray: black or dark-gray velvet, or even braid, would look well. The overdress has a long shawl-front, opens up high on the sides, and is most gracefully draped at the back. The bodice has a vest and two bias revers of the striped material. Bonnet of black straw, trimmed with gray velvet and a pink pompon.
Oh man I can't believe I forgot. You know that post that was like "tell me what clothes you've bought because of a character" or whatever. I searched for ages to find an adequate white cable knit sweater because of Ransom's in knives out.
It's a good sweater
I'm putting this here bc I feel like it's information everyone needs. You can find it here.
I don't knit but that's hilarious because this looks like such a complicated pattern for a beginner
Oh it is. There's at least three different styles of cabling. And more advanced cabling at that. That sweater would take me like a year to finish.
All the cabling is done the same way. You just need to read your knitting and keep track of which row you're on
No, but for real. Knitting is just loops. Cables? Spicy loops. Lace? Spicy loops. Color work? Multicolored spicy loops.
There are no levels in knitting, there are no exams to pass or goals to achieve before you can continue.
The Handsome Chris is a perfect beginner project. It's all one color, it's knit flat, you get to learn lots of new techniques all at once, but most of all it's engaging and you're working towards a goal you really like.
I would have impaled myself on my needles if I'd been forced to complete a Sophie scarf before I got to advance to something more "challenging" like a washcloth, or God forbid a ribbed hat.
My very first project was a self-drafted 11-strand intarsia double sided cable scarf, because I didn't know I wasn't allowed and that was what I wanted to make.
This attitude of mystifying certain fabrics as advanced really twists my stitches. I cannot do simple stockinette colorwork to save my life, but I can 3-color brioche without looking.
There are no levels in knitting.
Make that fucking Handsome Chris if you want to, it's a great sweater. Or start with the Sophie scarf if that's more your vibe. But don't ever think that knitting is hard.
You sound like me telling a beginner crocheter "nah the alligator stitch is easy for a beginner, it's all just double crochets!" (a real thing I have said to people picking up a crochet hook for the first time). I'm not saying you can't start with a complicated stitch I'm saying it's very funny when people do.
#I mean. knitting and crochet both just build onto very basic stitches#once you know the basics it’s short work to do those ‘harder’ stitches#you just gotta practice them!
"Once you know the basics" is my point. Beginners do not know the basics. I am a beginner knitter and let me tell you we're doing shit like "trying to remember how to cast on", "not dropping too many stitches and going on without noticing if you can help it", "trying to figure out how to keep consistent tension so the width of the project doesn't keep changing", and "trying to remember the difference between a knit and a purl because at least a quarter of these stitches are definitely backwards".
I've been looking forward to getting a Big Eel to ride since last year's whitsun introduced transport-beasts, but I was truly unprepared for the majesty of THE INFINITE EEL SOURCE

Back during the time when it was popular to bash Twilight for both legitimate reasons (Edward being borderline abusive to Bella, the whole child grooming plot point in Breaking Dawn, etc.) and not (REAL VAMPIRES DON’T SPARKLE THATS GAY), I saw this meme on Facebook where it was Louis and Lestat from Interview With The Vampire commenting on Edward’s sparkling and making fun of him for being gay. Like… Buddy My Guy. My Fair Dude. My Dear Sweet Homophobic Idiot. Not only are the Vampires in IWTV super duper gay, you’re lying to yourself if you think Lestat wouldn’t slam dunk his entire body into a tub of glitter on any given occasion. You Fool. You Imbecile.
@wicked-felina
Lestat: WHY DON’T WE GLITTER I WAS ROBBED
Louis: Does he ask our pity? He can walk in the sunlight, whereas we, foul creatures of darkness as we are, are forever barred from God’s kindly li –
Lestat, upending a pound of iridescent craft glitter on his head: SHUT UP LOUIS
If the trash pickup people stop doing their job for two weeks you'd be throwing a fucking tantrum. Same for the janitors who keep your office spaces and bathrooms clean. (And that's before the various illnesses start to spread all over your city from the build up of pathogens.)
The people responsible keeping our spaces clean (and thus, mostly disease-free) should both be paid more AND thanked more.
Garbage service is one of the ten deadliest jobs in the United States.
And police work isn't even on that list.
