this is your sign to read Superman Smashes the Klan!!!

It's a fantastic spiritual adaptation of the original radio show episode that actually centers the Chinese immigrant family being targeted by the Klan, and cleverly weaves a compelling twist out of Superman history and mythos.

If you always wished the immigrant part of Superman's story was discussed in its political context, this is the comic for you. Compassionately written by Gene Yang with fabulous art by Gurihiru.

#ramblings #totally normal recommendation not out of frustration at how immigration and asian characters were handled in an animated supes show #i have two copies of this story that's how insane i am about this #it's beginner friendly too super accessible

Testing, testing... Decided if I'm going to do this excruciatingly-detailed liveblog thing, I may as well go all the way with it and make a sideblog dedicated to it! Hopefully that will motivate me to actually keep working on it at a semi-regular pace.

I'll reblog a couple of relevant posts from my main blog here before I start in on the new stuff, but as a quick introduction:

Hey there! My name's Tyto and this is where I'll be documenting my journey through the Japanese translation of the Guardians of Ga'Hoole books! This has been my favorite book series for literally 20 years, and, since I've been slowly trying to learn a new language, I figured what better way to immerse myself than with some classic books for kids? Doesn't hurt that the Japanese cover art is beauty incarnate and I wanted to own the books for that alone, haha.

Anyway, expect this to be mostly commentary on the language-learning side of this experiment, but I don't doubt there'll be lots of nostalgic talk about the story and characters along the way. :)

#Guardians of Ga'Hoole #TRJPGOG #I took three years of Japanese in college but I am still very much a beginner #this liveblog should be totally readable if you don't know any prior Japanese #and honestly I imagine watching my struggles would be more painful if you DO know the language so. there's that lol

Art Burnout is back in full swing and so I decided to make myself something nice with my personal stash of cabochons that were for bead embroidery.

Many years ago (10+), I attempted to learn wire wrapping. It destroyed my wrists and I was never happy with anything I made. Come to find out I was using the wrong temper wire and wrong type of wire.

Fast forward- I picked up the right temper/type of wire. And made some shiny things for me.

And I have no desire to stop.

Waiting on the oxidation solution to come, but that’s all these need.

#wire wrapping #jewelry #wire wrapped pendant #artists on tumblr #gemstone #plz be kind I am new to this #total beginner and that’s okay

ouhhhh the neighbour doesn't have any supplies of her own for crochet and I'm teaching her and my mother today starting in just over an hour

and i am ... not selfish with my supplies but i am unemployed and living off a very tight budget (cannot purchase any more yarn for projects unless i manage to do some pretty spectacular savings on my groceries for the month which is... not very doable) so I'm a tad worried she's going to be good at crocheting and want to Make Something with the yarn that i do have fjdskl and I would normally be totally fine with that but considering there's basically nowhere in town to buy yarn (i've had to buy online) and shipping is $20+ lately, that's not exactly a great thing for me right now 🧍‍♂️

#but i feel terrible for worrying about this fdsjkl like it feels selfish and greedy to worry #however. she is employed. as is her husband. and i have been unemployed (due to disability lol) and have had zero income for three yrs #just living off savings and watching it get drained slowly all away by my parents charging me rent to live in the basement fdsjkl #(and i realize i am very very lucky to have had so much in my savings account that i'd been stashing away since my first job in gr 8 lol) #so um... i think perhaps she should go to walmart and buy whatever random skein they have on the bare shelves #in NORMAL circumstances i'd be totally fine to share my supplies #i love teaching ppl and sharing my crafts !!! i love helping ppl make art !! i am normally very happy to share and give away !! #this is not normal circumstances though i am so stressed about even just buying groceries lately fdsjkl #AUUGHH i was just hoping she'd got some sort of beginner's kit or smth already fdsjkl #im probably worrying about nothing though fdsjkl like crochet takes a while to get the hang of #and hopefully by the time we have our next ''lesson''/teaching session she will have acquired at least some yarn of her own #and unfortunately i cannot lend her any of my hooks bc i am working on a project that requires the hooks i'd normally lend #vent // #dandy.cmd #I'LL DELETE THIS LATER BTW SORRY i just have to yell somewhere so i dont cry and panic dsfjkl i got myself so worried over this

I finally finished the front and back panels of the sweater I've been crocheting and my suspicions have been confirmed. I fucked up.

Artists rendition of me trying it on (safety pinned together):

This thing is going to be. so fucking big. My thought process was "well I like oversized clothes, so more big is more better." Next time I will listen to the pattern...

I would show you the actual sweater, but it looks even more ridiculous irl and frankly it would bring shame to my whole bloodline.

#crochet #beginner crochet #girl fucking help me i am drowning in sweater #pattern claimed in total it used 2 skeins of 'pound of love' yarn. I have used 2 for the front and back alone. I fucked up so bad

You're getting a bass this weekend? Sick. What kind if you don't mind me asking?

It's pretty dependent on what ones are available at the store, I'd like to try to get one secondhand (some people say you feel closer to instruments you buy new? But for years I learned and played on a secondhand saxophone and loved the instrument dearly) so it depends on what's there and the price. Hopefully there's something in my price range because I'll need an amp too. I also, uh, have no clue how to play a bass, so I figure I'll start on an inexpensive-but-decent one and see how it goes from there?

I read up a bit and saw good things about some Squier Classic Vibe and Ibanez SR300 for beginners, Yamaha in general too. I'm not picky about the brand right now, I figure I'll get a more nuanced opinion as I learn and figure out what sound I want? One reason I want to go to the store is so I can try to get my hands on some to hear the sound of them, and choose from there.

#sorry it's not a more nuanced answer but alas i am a total beginner #i've been wanting to play music again for years rbh but for reasons beyond my control my saxophones are. out of reach #it's. complicated? or. well. not really. but it is frustrating #but they've been out of reach for years and i dont know when i'll get them back #but i dont want to buy A Third Saxophone so im switching instruments! it was between a bass and a theremin tbh #i also don't know if i want to lean into a more metal sound or jazz sound and that'll determine future bass purchases i imagine #if you know more about basses and have advice would be happy to hear/read it #(also. am hoping that an amp for a bass will work for a theremin in case i decide to learn that in the future) #((it COULD be worse i COULD be building an Apprehension Engine. which was made specifically to score horror movies.)) #i am excited to learn to play bass though. i've missed music a lot and i think if i can get into the habit of playing regularly it'd be good #sorry for all the tags too. lmao. i don't have many people to talk to about this

standing outside the italian community center with a boombox on my shoulder while the conversation class is going, not so loud I interrupt of course but like. ;A;

#at least an A2 level is required for you to sign up for conversazione. which makes sense but... #I am currently several weeks into their A1 (total beginner) class. which I need so I can learn basic grammar in a guided way #bc I spent like 3 years self-teaching I'm in a weird 'still need to be nudged on basics but know way more than I should' spot #but every time I get an email advertising the conversazione class I'm like NOOON LASCIAAARMIIIII SOLOOO NOOON LASCIAAARMIIIIIII QUIIIIIIIII #(cugini di campagna you and your bedazzled keytars will live forever)

Anyway I put content tags on my work. If something is not for you, don’t read it but there’s really no need to leave ugly messages to some random stranger on the internet

#I think plenty of things are stupid but I never leave unnecessary comments ? #anyways #I’ve been way too long on the interne to be shake up by that but if I were new and like a beginner writer (I mean I am a beginner writer but #I’d probably not be comfy writing #writing should be an outlet and a way to be creative #especially smut where u just allow urself to not think ‘is this too much or cringe’ #if u don’t like something that’s totally ok but how is it cool to write some #thing Rude under someone’s work #ppl on the internet are straight up miserable
