Ya'll motherfuckers need Talos.

the phm book rules because if youre paying attention rocky is just oozing ptsd at every turn (slaps the top of his carapace) this bad rock can fit so much trauma in him

One side has monkeys and tigers and elephants and capybaras, the other? Squirrels and deer

Have you seen a moose, megafauna are cool.

I live in the US and one of the things that really reframed the way I think about animals was when someone I knew in Brazil posted a picture of a marmoset hanging out outside their window and I realized that monkeys were to them what squirrels are to me. Recently a friend in Hungary sent a picture they took at the zoo of a raccoon and it was like my worldview was being shifted all over again because what was to me the mildly annoying, somewhat cute, critter that makes weird noises behind my house at night was a wonder to someone else. They have little hands and bandit masks. They wash their little hands. How is that NOT a wonder? All animals are cool I’m just used to raccoons.

Everything is cool, it's just that when you're familiar with something you can become desensitized to its coolness.

reading this as someone who does cross stitch but is scared of the other kinds of embroidery is like overhearing an incredibly tall and buff person say they have beef with Mr. Tom, the kitten that chills at the bookstore

FUCK Mr. Tom and his stupid little fluffy tail ok. And his little charted designs.

Okay, but this neglects the true villain of embroidery stitches: the French knot

Don't you dare malign my girl again

Ok the french knot is very useful but it is a BITCH to do it consistently

We talk about how this website’s hate mail game is insane, but this might just be a new level

"skill issue" made entirely from French knots is a next level roast. no coming back from that one. damn

crazy how tying the specific knots you want to make in fibercraft is so painstakingly difficult and easy to fuck up but if you take your eyes off yarn for four seconds it’s somehow finagled itself into several Interlocking Double Loop Fwip Form Uber Nooses when you weren’t looking. insufferable!

string (of all forms and types) should have an HR manager i can yell at. i should be able to put string in a corner as punishment for breaking it down gordian style every ten seconds. this is a level of angry at inanimate objects ive only ever felt towards a malfunctioning toaster, except worse because where a toaster is simply a poor fool being acted upon by the whims of fate, you can actually feel when string is being intentionally malicious. what a tempestuous mistress. it’s not often i’ve encountered an art form in which the pencil feels capable of hatred

I wrote this when I was half asleep last night and it's an interesting experience to reread...
