my personal argument for open borders is really simple it just boils down to "i believe restricting human movement and barring certain people from certain places on this earth is a human rights violation"

ransomnote

i mean this. everyone should be able to walk freely between mexico and the united states, fuck an ID, fuck a passport, fuck a visa. it's land, continuous, uninterrupted land. the soil on one side of the fense has the same geologic makeup of the soil on the other. we drew this invisible line in the sand, we can wipe it away with our feet together. it is well past time the world organizes en masse for our freedom of movement.

If you are currently sitting or laying down this moment ask yourself if you are resting or rotting. Change your behavior accordingly

I hope some of y'all take this as a sign to rest intentionally too.

if you're "resting" but thinking of all the things you have to do, that's not resting, that's rotting. Even if you haven't done anything all day, give yourself some time to rest and truly relax. When you let yourself relax guilt free, you actually regain energy for your responsibilities.

nonbinary-octopus

this post has helped me a number of times since I first saw it. I have realized I was rotting instead of resting, and depending on the circumstance, got up to do something, or settled more comfortably to actually rest.

Thank you.

was thinking (shocker ik) abt having glasses and stuff and generally I think its like way more accepted and de-stigmatized socially now than hearing aids or mobility aids etc, but no one rlly talks abt how it still sorta fucks u up???

Like when I was in primary and intermediate (and sorta highschool too), it was kinda a huge thing, and ppl would be like "Eww y do u have glasses?? Yuck that's so weird," and "U look so much prettier w/o them u should just wear contacts," and they'd make jokes abt them and stuff like "Wow if you had braces too u'd b even more of a Nerd" (bc I also liked books which was the reason y I needed glasses even though now everyone thinks I got them bc I'm Online Too Much :/ sucks to b them tho bc the only thing I got from reading was escapism and actual skill in reading between the lines (what's the actual word called idk) so jokes on them ig) which were never very funny

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

catmask

this also goes for aesthetic or -core titles. 'y2k tank top' is going to get you resellers and fast fashion brands advertising to people looking to meet a current trend. 'thin strap crop tank top' is going to get you a diverse group of results and not upcharge you to hell and back

additionally, shop second hand when you can, second hand and thrift sites typically organize clothes by the cut and color. theyll be more affordable than a depop seller curating you a style to sell you

useful terminology for different kinds of clothing shapes :)

cutabello

here are more terms! these are all from enérie. it is a really good blog that has lots of fashion terminology and it's a good mix of menswear and womenswear! they also have a book as well compiling all their diagrams. you could also look into getting a visual fashion dictionary for terms as well!

This comic is a little different than what I usually do but I worked real hard on it—Maybe I'll make more infographic stuff in the future this ended up being fun. Hope you learned something new :)

If you are still curious and want to learn more about OCD, you can visit the International OCD Foundation's website. I also recommend this amazing TED ED video "Starving The Monster", which was my first introduction to the disorder and this video by John Green about his own experience with OCD.

The IOCDF's website can also help you find support groups, therapy, and has lots of online guides and resources as well if you or a loved one is struggling with the disorder. It is very comprehensive!

Reblog to teach your followers about OCD

today at the grocery store a man asked if I knew where the broccoli was and I said damn no I haven't seen it, and he said I need broccoli I can't find the broccoli, and I said I don't know where it is either but I'll keep my eye out, and then we both went our separate ways. when I passed him again I asked if he found the broccoli and he said no!! I still can't find the broccoli!! and I said oh no. maybe there isn't any. maybe they're all out. and we commiserated. but then later as I was walking around in circles like a dazed housefly looking for hot sauce I saw a secret additional vegetable bay behind the magazines and there was the broccoli!! but by then I couldn't see the man any more. he must have left, imagining there to be no broccoli. perhaps because I suggested they were all out. I reflected upon my part in the tragedy. I should have told him not to give up, to keep looking, to search every corner and perhaps he would find his prize behind the magazines. but it was too late. my defeatism had instilled the certainty of failure in him, even though I was just as ignorant of the truth as he. and I did not buy the broccoli because I don't like it very much.

school is incredibly fucked up. sure, youre "preparing teenagers for the real world" but we are still children. you pile all this work on us and go oh yes! by the way! you have to do really well on these giant tests - loads of them! - because if not everyone thinks you're too stupid to survive. now sit down, here's the shitty work you have to do that will have no benefit to your future once you finish your exams!

#YES #AND LAST I CHECKED #IM SORRY #but when am I EVER going to need to sit down at a desk on my own and be quiet for a sustained period of time while answering questions on #paper about a topic that by and large I wont be pursuing in the future bc I'm not interested in it that has created a HUGEASS amount of #stress and worry that stops me from sleeping and/or eating etc where I can't cooperate with others?? In what real world situation is that #going to be useful to me #please tell me #If you're going to grade me just use a real-life situation.#Maths? depends on the type obv but cooking/baking/measuring etc #English? (assuming your in a western country bc that's where I'm from) it barely does anything anyways :/ u should be teaching people how t #comprehend different perspectives and read between the lines and instead we're writing essays on the best sort of cereal??#anyways u just write a story don't need to sit at a desk in silence for that?? I don't get the deal and what's with all the time limits etc #Drama is obv acting #PE is also increasingly basic SUPER physical #trades. sparkies plumbers builders u just have apprenticeships #social studies u just write a report no need to do it in school?? literally for all of the written assessments u don't need silence?#if u work better in silence just go into a dif room? could b soundproof watever floats ur boat idk #also don't need time limits (and if you do give prior warning I beg u) why do I need to write 3 assessments in 2 hours wat drugs are you on #foreign languages?? TALK TO PEOPLE IN THE LANGUAGES DUH

cranberry-branflakes

another reason why school is so fucked up is because you put so much stress on teenagers that they don't want to wake up the next day. they dread going to school. that shouldn't happen!! ever!! not at 14 or 30 or any age!! if you are not happy where you are, you shouldn't be there! if you don't like your job, you can leave! we can't! we can't change to something happier, we're just stuck in the same place that makes us wake up in the morning wishing we hadn't.

that. is. not. healthy.

#EXACTLY #in school it SUCKS #sure I generally don't have homework #sure it's easy for some people #but it is extremely difficult #stress-inducing and terrifying for so many people like me!!#I dread going to school every day #if adults don't like their jobs they can normally (job market subject to change obv) find a different one #minors?? legally stuck in a mentally-draining school environment that has been proven to have significant negative mental and physical #effects on people :/#I just want to have an actual sleep schedule that doesn't rely on me waking up at 6 every morning #I would like to wake up and be able to get out of bed #I would like to not dissociate out of every class and not have such huge mental pressure on me #I would like to get up and maybe even look forward to the day #Is that too much to ask

ppl are so annoying “you can’t paint ur bedroom pink you’re an adult” i did not spend my entire life waiting to grow up and control my life to paint my bedroom beige

hojolove

I had a sales woman in furniture store try and tell me not to buy a hot bubblegum pink loveseat because she wanted me to “think about the future”

Bitch, I am thinking about the future. I already got a hot bubblegum pink couch at home and now I need a loveseat to go with it.

madgastronomer

when I first bought my house, I announced my decision to paint my bedroom purple. I had wanted a purple bedroom for thirty damn years, you fucking bet I was gonna have one now. My friends decided, for some reason, that I meant what one of them referred to as “14 year old girl purple” (through what’s wrong with the colors a 14 year old girl chooses, I don’t know, even if they’re not what I want as an adult). They didn’t believe me until they saw the color on the actual wall, even thought they helped me pick out paints. My mother, meanwhile, decided to get worried that if I painted my bedroom a “dark purple”, it would be “depressing”. As if, with an entire house to live in, I would spend all my time in the bedroom, which I wanted to be dark because I would be sleeping in there. In the damn dark.

I had like one, maybe two friends who were all like FUCK YEAH YOU PAINT IT WHATEVER COLOR YOU WANT, PURPLE BEDROOMS ARE AWESOME.

But when they actualy saw the finished bedroom, every single one of them was like, “Oh yeah, that’s really pretty.” (Well, the ones who supported me from the beginning were more like WOOHOO.)

And the moral of the story is: Fuck ‘em, please yourself. Either they’ll come around, or you can safely ignore every question of taste they opine about for the rest of time.

themintycupcake

This applies to other adulting activities, too. When I was a kid, I decided that I wanted to have a wedding cake made of doughnuts. When I got older, I figured that I would be “mature” about it and get a traditional cake, which the older adults approved of. Now that I’m 25 and facing the possibility of actual marriage in the near future, I’m just like “marriage is a social construct but it comes with tax & insurance benefits, so just give me that goddamn doughnut cake.” If they don’t like it then they don’t have to come to my wedding.

I’m thirty and my first big furniture purchase was a custom coffin shaped coffee table that opens up and is lined with purple crushed velvet. I would have loved it at 13 and I love it now. Growing up doesn’t mean you have to abandon what makes you happy.

I have told this story before, and I will tell it again, because I am An Old now and repeating stories forever is our prerogative:

When I bought my house, the kitchen was multiple shades of dingy white. It was dismal, but it was now mine! So went to the hardware store for paint (well, several trips, painted swatches on panel, etc — I’m very picky. But this was the final, ‘real’ trip). It was a busy day in the paint section. There were at least five people behind me in line.

Now, remember, latex paint is slightly lighter and brighter when wet than it is when dry. And I’d decided to paint my kitchen candy-apple red. The hardware store employee took my gallon off the Paint Jiggler and cracked it open to put a dab on the top, revealing the most incredibly deep pink, and behind me I hear the entire line of people say,

“Oh my god.”

…in perfect chorus.

I did not realize up until that moment that shocking a crowd of strangers with my paint color choices was a life goal, but at that moment I felt an absolutely overwhelming sense of achievement.

When I first moved into my place, I painted the spare room, that eventually became my office, lime green, the kind of lime green that glows down the corridor when I open the door - The colour was only available as an “accent colour” in the section of paints intended for children’s playrooms, and in the shop I got a lot of “Oh your son will love this!” And from people I knew I got a lot of “Oh well, you’re 21 now, you’re basically a teenager, this is a terrible idea, you’ll hate it and need to pull out all the furniture to repaint it.” And I have to report that I am now in my forties and my office still looks like this, and it makes me smile every time I see it.

marzipanandminutiae

this is such a modern idea, too

not decorating trends; those have always existed. but the idea that color and decoration is inherently childish

this is the dining room at the Eustis Estate in Milton, Massachusetts, from 1878 (where I used to work, briefly). the walls are TEXTURED MICA SHIMMER on a green background. Adult Space For Adults!

A jewelry shop in Paris c. 1901. kids can’t buy jewelry!

who can forget the classic 1950s colorful bathroom? I’m not a huge fan, but still! adult space! bright colors; decorative designs!

meanwhile “you’re immature if you like Art Nouveau” is a hot take I’ve really, seriously seen on this webbed site (only once, thank the gods). I don’t know who started this, but I’m going to kill them

taraljc

I think a lot of it stems from the ubiquitous Waterhouse prints that were sold on college campuses for 20 years. like why would I get a free pass if it were Monet instead Western culture is stupid. The entire point of being an adult is breakfast for dinner and cake for breakfast and dying with the most toys.

The examples of decorated homes above are both either modern or upper class, which makes it easy to dismiss because “sure the rich people have beautiful homes” and “sure, modern middle-class people have lots of color in their homes.”

So here’s two examples of traditional Norwegian farmhouse interiors. You know. The kinds of places peasants live in.

This type of painting is called “rosemaling” and today you usually find it on, like, carved wooden bowls and such that are only used for decoration. But back two centuries ago, it was very common to find the interiors of homes covered in it, in projects that were painted little by little over the decades. Because it’s beautiful to look at, paint is the cheapest way of decorating your house, and what else are you going to do on the long winter nights when it’s too dark and cold to work outdoors?

But mostly, they did it because it made them happy, and it was beautiful.

Those old peasants were on to something, I think.
