I like when fic length/book length/movie length is its own punchline
characters: Ah, I'm so glad that's all over now :). But luckily that's done and dealt with and we can all resume our normal lives now :)
fic length: Chapter 9 out of 48

The above is a joke about classical art and architecture.
In antiquity, in the Grecco-Roman cultural world across multiple centuries, marble was a common and extravagant material used for sculpture and architecture both. In the centuries since the Roman empire, much of these works fell into ruin, from lack of maintenance or from explicit quarrying for materials by the people that lived there. Between the 1400s and 1800s, archaeology developed and classical art became popular again, as a direct reference to antiquity. This lead to the rise of the Neoclassical movement, a style of art and architecture that sought to directly emulate the stark white marble and architectural forms of Roman art. Cities like Washington DC in the United States were built in this style, to evoke Rome.
It was only with further advances in archaeology was it discovered that Classical architecture and statuary was not white: it was painted. Buildings were colorful and statues were painted to appear as lifelike as possible. But the paints were far less equipped to survive the ages compared to the marble, so the visuals did not persist.
This became a piece of common trivia in the early twenty-first century. Perceptions of classical art are locked to the stark white seen in museums and in neoclassical buildings, so this deviation from trained expectations made for a striking bit of information, similar to dinosaurs having feathers (in violation of previous expectations).
In comparison, Brutalism, an architectural style from the mid 20th century, is explicitly a dreary, colorless brutal style. The drab grey of concrete is the intended feature, made to evoke utilitarianism and drab reality, without ostentation beyond form and function.
The joke is imaging Brutalism as having the same "lost" color as classical architecture. It would be equivalently shocking. However, Brutalism is well documented and was developed in living memory. It is known that there was no colorful paint, which would be a complete violation of its intended themes.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Some of these kids straight up bum me out. Like you just have to tell your kids no sometimes.

Disney’s The Princess and the Frog may be the only instance of Roseate Spoonbills in animation, ever.
Nicknamed “Flame Birds”, Roseate Spoonbills are one of the most colorful wading birds of the United States. Don’t mistake them for flamingos.
They live along the Gulf Coast, so they’re an appropriate species for a story set in New Orleans. Through the late 1800s to the early 1900s, they were nearly hunted to extinction for their plumage (used in ladies’ hats). Owing to improved legal protection and public consciousness, the species had just started to recover by the period the movie was set.
Tumblr friends, some of you bore kids, yes? I had extremely bad hip and pelvic pain from my third trimester with kid #1. It got better after birth, but my hip bones hurt pretty often. Pregnancy #2 was excruciating starting in the late second trimester, and that never fully went away. Nothing shows up on an x-ray. Yall. If you look at the material on symphysis pubis dysfunction it's absolutely useless, it's like "maintain a low weight, wear comfy shoes, do not sit too much or stand too much, walking hurts but fucking do it anyway, you lazy slob. You can't take effective medicine like ibuprofen and maybe acetaminophen is bad too, try an ice pack. Maybe wear a belly band. If you're fat, haha get fucked. Don't worry, it goes away after birth."
I'm seven years out from my second birth and if I'm getting sick, I get pelvic girdle pain. It's best relieved by being in child's pose. If I walk more than a leisurely couple miles over a day, pain, no matter how good my shoes are. If I don't sleep with a yoga pillow between my legs, extreme pain.
Y'all. I cannot overstate how painful my second pregnancy was. This is much better. But I don't even know how to ask a doctor. The copay for physical therapy is insane.
these are getting weird
um actually there's nothing wrong with letting cats be outdoor pets. your cat is depressed locked inside forever. it's animal abuse. let it outside. more cats should be let outside more often. especially overnight.
It's strawberry season!

It was really fun to watch Star Wars through a modern meme lens. RIP C-3PO, you would have loved Pride. RIP Biggs Darklighter, you would have loved Pride. RIP Jabba, you would have loved American politics. RIP Princess Leia, you would have loved other women getting to exist like...at all. Jesus. I somehow forgot that you don't see women extras in the crowd scenes or anything. Fucking wild.
But for real RIP Marcia Lucas, you made that whole mess comprehensible. I'm sorry about the 1999 re-release and the mcclunkey cut.
MARK HAMILL as LUKE SKYWALKER
➤• STAR WARS: EPISODE IV - A NEW HOPE (1977) DIR. GEORGE LUCAS
Made my kids watch this for movie night. "This reminds me of Spaceballs," my daughter said, and I nearly burst a vessel in my eye. My six year old fell asleep. It's a crapshoot whether or not he'll follow a full movie after 7pm, and A New Hope is a lot less flashy than modern stuff. I still love Luke.
Alec Guinness really puts his whole guinussy into what's really not much of a role. He does things with his face where you could project all kinds of complicated emotions onto him.
I was teaching my kids about the Trolley Problem and my six year old interrupted me before I finished. "I'm saving five by killing one, it just makes sense."
Me: But what if that one is your best friend?
6yo: ohh. Do I know the other five?
Me: Maybe! What if you kind of like all five of them but the one person is your best friend? What do you do?
6yo: I stop the trolley. Who put kids on the trolley tracks anyway?
8yo: Can I put the president on the trolley tracks, or is that illegal?
Me: It's for sure illegal, but so is tying anybody ri trolley tracks.
8yo: That's dumb.
Me: 🤷♀️

went to a new optometrist today wearing my squid facts ‘save our freaks’ shirt from @sarahmackattack that has a strawberry squid on it. and i wasn’t even thinking about it but the optometrist walked in and he was like ‘oh what does your shirt say’ so i showed him and he was like ‘oh that’s neat!’ and then i thought he might like to know about strawberry squid eyes since they have weird eyes and he is an optometrist and all. so i was like ‘yeah it’s actually a real kind of squid called a strawberry squid, their eyes are really cool because they have one big yellow-green one and one small blue one’ and he kind of gasped and went ‘oh my god that’s so interesting i wonder why they have that. do you know what their retina composition is like?’ and i watched as he minimized my chart on the computer and started looking up images of strawberry squid and then he googled ‘strawberry squid retina composition’ and he was like ‘sorry we’ll get to your eye exam in a moment i just really want to find out’ LMAO 10/10 optometrist experience will be returning
Hell yeah
Our eighteen and a half year old cat sharply declined this week. She's not seeking pets and attention the way she was doing even a week ago, and while obviously I'm hoping there's something obvious and curable, I don't think so. Her arthritis has been managed for a while but she's lost weight too fast. I assume the thyroid is going now.
Eighteen years is pretty good, though not enough. My husband got her as a teeny little kitten in January 2008. She's had a really good life.
Hey so some good updates: she's not actively dying! She had an upper respiratory virus and a UTI at the same time. (Fun fact: this happened to me in 2022 and I thought I was actively dying. I ran a fever for three weeks straight. I lost 30lbs. I got diagnosed with depression because I was sleeping so much but lol it was a UTI.) The cold started to subside and she perked up a lot. So we're doing a course of antibiotics for the UTI. Another update: her thyroid sucks. We can medicate this, it's pretty typical for a cat this age. We've agreed no heroic measures for organ failure, but so long as she's having a good time we're going to keep her around.
Also as we were waiting to pay we saw a white guy with a tiny, trembling chihuahua in his arms...and also the double lightning bolt SS tattoos on each elbow. What the fuck.
