"Judaism is not a religion of blind obedience
#my very limited understanding of judaism#is that it is a monotheistic religion uniquely structured#around the possibility of disagreement with its own creator#there's much more to it I'm sure#but can't imagine a more appealing quality to a religion than you get to argue with your own maker#(and they're not necessarily always right) (via @consistencyisalliask)

I was at a diner with some friends and a very tall woman with very red hair and very high heels came up to our table and introduced herself as a professional intuitive medium. We were polite as she proceeded to fumble her way through some cold reads. Are we artists? Yes you could say that. She showed us her evil eye necklace. Which was a swapmeet-esque resin butterfly adorned with what might have been a nazar. She said she had just moved from Sedona, which made a lot of sense. Of the new-age inclined towns orbiting Los Angeles Sedona is a provincial capital. I think she could tell the cold reading was not going well, so she thanked us for our time and headed back to her table. She sat with a man about her age in a fedora and a pointed goatee whose name I assumed was something like "Dante" or "Cuervo." I wish them well.
I feel I didn't do her justice. She was wearing very high heels but this woman must have been six feet without them. She was very tall, and her cloud of hair only made her taller. From the sheer size of her pupils and the way she fingered the necklace she was in the midst of something psychoactive. She also wore a huge green coat with lots of buckles. Also of note; big golden multi-knuckle ring that said "SAPPHIC."
I live in LA and one of my friend circles is basically a revolving royal court of people like this. Even the cis people in this setting do not have cis vibes. Recently I met in this environment this gorgeous zaftig Latina, immaculately put together, glitter for miles, who was high on cocaine and kept forgetting she'd offered us some already, among other things. It was very charming (though we did not partake of the cocaine.)
She was also the only astrologer I've ever met who's ever figured out anything about me from my frankly bizarre birth chart, and she did so with high accuracy, nigh-instantaneously. We had a fantastic, if perhaps excessively elevated conversation, she recommended me the work of Carolyn Elliott with several disclaimers, and I saved her number.
I hope your Sedona lady finds her way to our parties!
the term "camera dolly" is fun it always makes me think of a little doll holding a camera thats at least over half its size

are you “adaptable” or are you just willing to subject yourself to existing in low key background-level ambient misery
these are different things btw. actual adaptability means not dealing with being miserable long term. and being constantly mildly annoyed/frustrated with a situation but being “able to deal with it” counts as ambient misery. btw.
let this be your sign to make your life just a little more livable. get a dollar store trash can for your bedside so Cup City’s invasion plans fall through. block a tag or post that makes you grind your teeth every time you see it. get some grip pads so your bed stops sliding across the hardwood a little bit every time you get in it. tell that person you need a little more support. if you get annoyed at a situation more than a couple times, change it. don’t be content with being miserable.
and the more that you start doing this, the better you will get at detecting your own feelings and advocating for yourself! This is an important start to being more of a person in the world if you struggle with that
And if you're always starting the conversation about how you could make a change to be a little less miserable, and the people who you consider to be your family / friends / partners / closest allies are repeatedly dismissive about it instead of helping to brainstorm, encourage, etc - then they aren't on your side. Learned this one the hard way!
Every single cursed amulet is my precious child. I put them out into the world to offer good advice that helps people discover their true selves. The only reason you struggle to take yours off is because deep down you know it's good for you.
Each one is hand-crafted with its own unique curse and perspective, so just because you decided it "wasn't working for you," and you got some wizard to help you remove it doesn't mean you have the right to destroy yours, okay? There's someone else out there who really needs to hear what it has to say. And maybe you'll find the right cursed amulet for you one day! Don't write them all off because of one difficult experience!
"How do I make so many of them" you ask? Because I'm smarter than the likes of Sauron, who only managed to make one ring. The problem with rings is that you need to enchant them so that they can fit any finger. That's stupid. You don't need that feature. Amulets are a one-size-fits-all solution.
Save your energy for what really matters, like transforming the wearer into a dread beast instead.
If you know deep down it's good for you, doesn't that make it a blessed amulet though? Maybe just a blursed amulet?
I'm not here to debate semantics. If the powers that be decree that turning people into demon beasts and unleashing a century of darkness is "cursed" and "forbidden evil magic" then I'm not going to quibble about labels while there's wholesome amulet crafting to be done.

"you can't be punk, it's just not possible" has sincerely become my stance on punk. it's just not possible
The only thing that's punk is arguing about what is and isn't punk
there's nothing punk about semantics or classification actually. it's just not possible
this post made me angry so i went to listen to my FAVOURITE PUNK ALBUMS that i have on CASSETTE (the punkest medium) but i couldn't find them. they were gone. i tried looking them up but the names turned to meaningless fluff in my mind as i typed. it didn't feel like it meant anything anymore. I tried to remember what they sounded like but could recall nothing. I'm saying the word "punk" out loud to myself but it just sounds like noise. I'm not sure i'm even saying it right. was it ever real?
it's just not possible
Ughh, my head… what happened…? I need to go find my Punk Albums…

i love how garnet and pearl are just continuing to use the name of their infamous guerilla military organization while their current jobs are fighting lv4 rpg monsters and giving each other basket weaving seminars. and steven has no context for this and just thinks of "The Crystal Gems" as basically the name for his mom's side of the family. so he walks up to lapis and says "you should hang out with me and my treehouse friends, the Viet Cong!"
Jokes about rich furries and expensive fursuits aside, fursuits ARE ethically made slow fashion. Yes, there is a rise in mass-produced suits but overwhelmingly furries are supporting small business and independent artists. There’s a huge DIY culture: many people make their own fursuits and even if you buy one, most fursuiters learn basic sewing skills to repair their suits. If maintained well, a fursuit can easily last over a decade.
Get Derek Guy on this at once.
adhd paralysis sucks bcuz im just sitting there and my brain is like
YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME
no work done no rest gained. literally no point of this at all
just wanted to share these executive dysfunction comics i am so sorry to whoever drew them these have been saved on my phone for like 6 years
ugh, that feeling of stuck panic but no actual moving is the worst.
Pramipexole (dopamine agonist) is what fixes this at least partly for me, and it unfucks about half of my crippling RSD, too.
The catch is that it also makes shopping and gambling more interesting, in ways that you need to stay aware of and calibrate your actual practices to if you don't want to wake up in debt, having suddenly acquired a kayak in the middle of the prairie.

I never thought I would be siding with the pope’s involvement in politics and cheering him on. I will say that.
This is within scatterplot for a Type Of Guy I meet a lot of in Los Angeles. It's like, there's a sizable contingent for whom the conservative trans/queer panic is there and all, but it is at roughly a sports-fan level of "down with the other team, I hope we get our thing to the other thing first".
los angeles is not known for having a good or even decent public transit system but in the past few years they’ve been expanding the train lines and have been pushing to get people to ride the trains more often, which includes making official la metro merch and, well:
this is a restock because they sold out in less than a week the first time
Oh THIS is how I found out they restocked and that they're OUT AGAIN
I'm not a gatekeeper so yall. the best thrift stores are the ones that look bad. do not go to cool trendy thrift stores with hot alt twenty-something employees. (I mean you can if you want but enjoy paying $40 for a fuckass shirt.)
here's what you actually want in a thrift store:
in a rich town
run by a church
staffed exclusively by little old ladies
most of the clothes will be butt ugly. but they will also be 1) good quality and 2) cheap af. the 70 year olds running the shop think a thrifted shirt should be $3 and they are correct. everyone else shopping there is over the age of 45 so you won't have to throat punch any depop resellers over a cunty little top. you will get hyped up by old ladies and if you frequent the same shop they may start trying to set you up with their grandkids. everyone wins and who knows their grandkids might be hot.
Basically the Thrifting Coefficient is
H
__
A
Where H = hipsters and A = affluent households. The higher the coefficient, the higher the price for decent clothes. In a city like Portland for example nearly all cheap used goods have been repriced into the vintage economy.
(Which to be clear I AM NOT SHITTING ON, vintage shops are a deeply necessary hustle for queer folks in periods of worse discrimination, there is a stereotype about antique dealers for a reason. They are a form of curation. You can pay a premium for curation if you support the curator & sometimes I do, for that reason.
But if you just want inexpensive clothes that have a lot of life left in them? Go to the suburb of your city that is most synonymous with being bored.)
A whole lot of military films will be coming out soon. You'll see older ones showing up on streaming service and new ones soon to follow. Sure, a few are, in fact, very good movies. But here's the caution:
Any film featuring the US military is paid for by the US military. They have the final word on what comes out. These films are recruitment tools. Same applies to TV shows, and doubtless many will soon be showing up.
Do not be fooled by these films and shows. They are designed to bring in new recruits. When these are released, there is a surge in new people enlisting in the military. These recruits swiftly discover they were fed bullshit, but now they're stuck due to a contract. Going AWOL, away without leave, is desertion. You will be caught and put on trial for desertion, and they are not light with the sentencing.
Please, for the love of fuck, do not enlist with the military. You are cannon fodder. They do not care about you.
Recruiters are told to lie. To do whatever it fucking takes to enlist new people. Do not fucking fall for it.
These films and shows are recruitment tools paid for by the military. It's why they're so big, glamorous, and quickly made. Enjoy what you see, but don't sign up. It's a fucking lie.
if you have signed up, you have a year to quit due to "failure to adapt" with minimal consequences to you ("it's not you it's me")
if you want to quit, no matter how long you've been in, these folks may be able to help you https://girightshotline.org/
Are you in the military or thinking about joining? Are you unsure of where to get reliable answers? Call the GI Rights Hotline at 1-877-447-
If you have (subsequent to joining) developed an ideological reason to oppose war, e.g. religious or philosophical, also look here specifically:
You have a right to be registered as a conscientious objector under both US law and international law even if you are already an active duty service member. If your application is accepted you will be either discharged according to your service record or designated a non-combatant (depending which you applied for). You can still get an honorable discharge after being given CO status.
I just wanted to add, it's not only films and shows directly funded by the US military that are beholden to it in some way. To the best of my knowledge (which could be imperfect, but I read an in-depth post about this some time ago) any action picture that uses military facilities, vehicles or equipment is likely subject to a contract where the military has to approve the final product.
That's not an unusual contract rider for using buildings or equipment, mind - you can't shoot in the Coca-Cola factory and diss Coke either. But the pervasiveness and the power dynamic make it pretty bad. If you're shooting, say, a kaiju picture set in New York, you're going to have to either come up with a plausible reason why no one is showing up, spend millions of bucks on physical replication, digitally generate some troops and equipment, or take the outstretched hand... and you can probably make a guess which option is most attractive to studio financiers.
So as a result, most major action pictures produced in the US, particularly those which also take place here in-world, contain at least a little military propaganda, and sometimes more than a little.

some guy: You should seek a personal relationship with Jesus Christ!
me: oh I have one of those! :)
me: aren't you going to ask what it is
some guy: [frantically signaling that he actually means I look queer and he doesn't like it]
me: aren't you going to ask what it is?
relentlessly funny to me when people treat a relationship between someone in their 30s and someone in their 40s as "age difference". bro i cannot tell you which of my friends are 34 and which are 44. i can probably tell you which ones aren't 30 yet, but it's probable some of them are 50 now and i didn't notice. if you're over 30 and don't have kids, it's kinda all one age until you can collect social security.
One of my friends recently dropped that he's fifty-nine and I did a spittake.
...I was friends with him nine years ago. When he turned fifty. I'm sitting here startling myself with linear time?
