I was at the grocery store and the soundsystem was playing the usual Top 40 pop music songs. But then, all of a sudden there was a very familiar guitar riff and I was like, "Is this...? It sounds like... But IS it really?" And it was. Freaking Bob Dylan Subterranean Homesick Blues. 😂

Rory & Jess Parallels - First & Last Kiss (2.22 // 6.18)
It’s interesting to line up these two scenes just to look at the similarities and differences. I think it’s interesting to notice that during their first kiss, Rory is the one that instigates it and during their last kiss it’s switched, and Jess is the one that leans forward. Rory also pulls away both times, realizing that she’s with someone else. Another noteworthy point is that their positions are switched - in the first one Rory’s on the left, and in the last one she’s on the right. It seems a very fitting way to “close” their chapter, so to speak.
I think another major difference is the scenery, the clothing and the colors in general. Their first kiss happens outdoors amid a bounty of green as they’re both wearing shades of blue. It’s optimistic and speaks of new life, new love, and hope for the future. Their last kiss happens in a very neutral-colored space, while they’re dressed in grays and blacks. There’s something restrictive about the fact that it’s indoors as well…and while I can think of no more fitting a place for a kiss from these two than a publishing house, the atmosphere is more muddled and stale.
To expand on that a little bit, their first kiss happens in a bit of a wooded area, with green trees surrounding them. Their last kiss happens in a place that has a lot of wooden furniture. Perhaps this is another way of contrasting the two scenes. The live wood vs. the dead wood.
If you watch these two scenes fully and in succession you’ll realize how similar they’re set up as well. Rory turning to see Jess from afar reversed so that Jess notices Rory from afar…the short conversation, the impromptu kiss, the pulling away, the confused look on Jess’ face, the horrified look on Rory’s, the last glance back…
What is prev to you?
the smell of woodsmoke in the dark
sunlight glittering on drifts of snow
opening chords to a classic song after an ad break on the radio
daisies in a mason jar
the curve in the road you always take a bit too fast
blank notebook with a leather cover
a stone church with carvings and spires and stained-glass
a cool pillow and a warm blanket at midnight
playlist that makes sense to no one else
yellow leaf floating down a clear cold river
silver fog over green hills and warm hands in raincoat pockets
a strain of violin music floating through a crowded subway
How am I supposed to pack under these conditions? (Cat on suitcase)
fuck everything. whats the media people ASSUME youre into. what are people surprised that you havent watched/played/whatever

Ya'll remember how online games made specifically for children were programmed in a way that made it practically impossible to share your personal info?
When age, gender, location was censured like profanity in the name of protecting kids?
But suddenly the Only Way to keep children safe online is to make sure that they have 0 privacy?
Yeah ok. Sure. For the children.
The reason all that was done is because the FCC had the 1990 Kid Vid laws. The reason none of that is done now is because Michael ORielly gutted them in 2019 while calling it "updating" and saying that streaming made the rules irrelevant. Btw he's gone but the FCC still hasn't done anything to protect children with those rules, even though they can change and update them at ANY TIME.
But yeah sure we need a whole new act that protects children. We don't like... already have one or anything.
Call your reps and demand they update the Kid Vid rules to prevent advertising to children and prevent gambling and dark patterns to be something children are exposed to. THOSE are the things children genuinely need protection from.
one of my creative writing professors once said that to evaluate a work as good or not, first you ask what the work is attempting to do, and then you evaluate how well it does it. and this is how to judge everything from critical essays to romance novels to snack packaging to theory tracts.

also this is part of a disturbing but sadly not uncommon attitude that progress = women (specifically women most of the time) showing more skin. because not showing skin is "following irrational religious modesty mandates" like the man on twitter says
somehow being progressive and secular automatically means putting women's bodies on display (although of course these people would shame women showing that much skin because they chose to). gee, I wonder why...
(to be clear, religious concealing clothing should also be respected as long as it's voluntary!)

…that’s it, that’s the post.
Excuse me, I think you mean RORY's huge potato chips! 😤 See! It has her name written on the bag right there, in big letters!
R-O-R-Y, Rory!!!
Which means Doyle is a dirty, rotten, potato chip stealer.

Trying to find a fic..... A long time ago, there was an AU one shot about Logan coming and getting into a fight with Jess at Truncheon, because Rory took Jess up on his offer to 'tell him we did... something.' It was either posted on fanfiction.net or here on tumblr OR was sent to me privately. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Well, that was a short, slightly embarrassing search. Slightly embarrassing in the fact that I temporarily forgot I co-authored it. Definitely not my best work, but kind of funny. I think my subconscious went rooting around for it because of the title, taking into account recent conversations about the song (and because of a post someone made asking whether Jess or Logan would win in a fight). If anyone's interested (it's just a bit of silliness, really):

There's also ANOTHER fic along those lines, haha! But a bit less humorous.
And the sequel:
(strong language in both) Enjoy! 😆

This is a telephone/gossip table/bench/chair. Like computer armoires of the 1990s and early 2000s and the typewriter desks/stands that preceeded them, they were a piece of furniture designed around an every-day technology that has now become obsolete, largely due to miniaturization.
They come in all sorts of styles and are cute af. Prices are also all over the place, but I've seen them reasonably priced, especially if they need reupholstery.
For a smaller footprint, there is also the telephone table, usually notable for a shelf that would hold phone books. These often get misidentified as schooldesks or lecterns. I have one similar to the last photo and used it in a bathroom for reading material + toiletries.
Fun stuff worth keeping an eye out for if you have a weird little niche that needs a chair and/or stand. A lot of antique specialty furniture could use new homes!
I also wanted to add - if you've ever seen a weird little alcove (especially around the entryway or kitchen) in an older house, odds are it is a telephone nook!
These are also stylistically all over the place - some even have a stool or desk built in. Another fun detail, and something that could get repurposed as a keys/wallet or charging station.
i'd love a house with one of these to put a little godzilla figure in like a household god
You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.
Like, my assumption this whole time has been that when folks go "I misunderstood this post that says [thing] as saying [unrelated thing] because I mistook [word] for [completely different word that happens to start with the same letter]", that was a bit. What do you mean they're teaching kids a reading method that's tailored to produce this exact error?
Three cueing. Once you learn about it, a whole lot of very frustrating online discourse with US Americans makes so much sense 😭
For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have
If you were taught to read with the three cueing method, and now struggle to read fluently, you can still learn to read properly!
