Finding Stories

Project Hail Mary is very representative to me of this exhausting contemporary literary trend where you can tell certain books are written for Boys because they completely eschew things like "character depth" and "complex plotting" and "artful prose" (frivolous, ephemeral, products of the humanities, feminine) in order to place all their focus on having Cohesive Worldbuilding (concrete, logical, product of STEM, masculine). The events are uninteresting and described in the most boilerplate manner imaginable but you sure can Believe Them. This is also how I feel about Brandon Sanderson and Dungeon Crawler Carl btw

It reminds me of that phenomenon described in a more popular post on here, the Youtube channels run by/geared toward men whose videos are like "The SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN most EFFICIENT way to bake a cake"or whatever. Art is for girls, so men who want to be artists have to shield their masculinity by pretending to be scientists.

Getting down on my knees and thanking the humans who invented dishwashers and washing machines.

InsNe that dishwashers are more efficient and easier than just washing them manually but they also use less water. It’s a win win situation

They ALSO sterilize dishes, due to operating at a far higher temperature than human hands could ever tolerate. It's a win every way.

[Video Description: An ad with piano music over it all, showing an elderly woman in her home, knitting, when two younger men walk by her window, which catches her attention. She stares out her window at them as they kiss each other while walking, the old lady staring in disbelief. Cut to the old woman approaching a residence with a broom in hand, staring up at the second floor window where a small rainbow Pride flag is hanging. The old woman stares up at it and mutters "Ridiculo", before getting up on a ladder with her broom to remove the flag. Focus on the flag fluttering to the ground as church bells chime. The scene then cuts to the couple from before, approaching their home with grocery bags in hand before one stops and stares at the second floor, stopping his partner who then drops the groceries as he too stares up. It's then revealed that the small pride flag had been replaced with a gigantic, hand-knit pride flag. It then cuts back to the old woman's home, where a tin of rainbow-colored yarn sits on her table. The hands of the old woman are holding and fondly touching an old black and white photo of two young smiling women, leaning against each other. Cut to the old woman's face as she stares out with a look of happy pride on her face. At the end of the video, the name "Idealista" appears on screen, followed by "buon pride" along with a rainbow. End VD.]

i love being gay so much it's like walking thru walls except the walls aren't real everyone else has just convinced themselves they are

You can begin this process at any time, regardless of how old you have become.

"There's no platonic explanation for this" <-you need to be nicer to your friends. Right now

Damn, that's useful

Finally a hand sewing tutorial on a hemline that isn't just the ladder stitch! the ladder stitch disappears when you tighten it, but it's not meant for hemlines because it breaks really easily! The overlock stitch is more stable, so it holds much longer, and it won't pucker or warp the fabric!

the thing about ai witch hunt is that instead of spreading awareness about why and how ai can be harmful, people focus their energy on harassing other people instead. so instead of actually achieving something, fandom space and the internet as a whole just became twice as toxic because people have found a ✨noble way✨ to tell other people to off themselves and get praises for it. you’re not helping. you’re part of the problem

witches were not real, yall just defending your favourite slop

must feel good as fuck to curse a prince for being rude to you while you were larping as an old woman for no reason
