okay it is actually really interesting how they show older women upholding the structures that support toxic masculinity/patriarchal society

i guess it makes sense because traditionally mothers-in-law occupy a really interesting space in the hierarchy and have quite a bit of power over their daughters-in-law, while I guess the older men in the family slowly lose power to their inheriting son

#ooku: the inner chambers #but the story of slowly forcing a major social change and getting people to believe it was “always this way” is very well done #i'm worried the last lady shogun is going to go “hmm men should be back in charge” #ideal ending would be her deciding to stop using patriarchal forms of ruling and be a woman ruler #instead of a woman following male forms #we'll see #io watches movies #asian media

on the one hand it's a relief that my little furfreak refusing to eat isn't a loss of appetite, but on the other hand the fact that she just ate an entire can of tuna but refuses to eat anything else is just apex asshole behavior what point are you starving yourself to prove, babe???

#she's got a vet appt on monday so like bohhhhhhhh #i've found this supplement powder that is a low-phosphorus additive you can put on anything to make it a complete cat food #that's kidney friendly (she's getting her bloods done so we'll see if the slight uptick was an anomaly or a trend for kidney disease) #so like theoretically i *could* just get tuna and put that on it and she'd be fine #but 1) cost and 2) salt content #she wouldn't even eat raw chicken which she usually goes fully feral for so idek if i could use that as an option with the supplement #she's spite starved before for a few days after i've come back from being away but this is next level tbh #crotchety old lady freak of nature <3

epic win at old lady group today: the group leader was struggling with a tangled up loose skein of yarn, so i scampered over to the other end of the table where was sitting and offered to untangle it and wind it into a centre-pull yarn bal for her since I remembered how to do it from just the other day fjdkdl and she was very confused why i would WANT to do that but she let me :3

so i got to untangle yarn AND wind a yarn ball AND help someone i appreciate, three things i love doing - YIPPEE !!!

#also one of the ladies had never seen the way i do it before and she was so fascinated and impressed fjdkdl #every couple mins she'd be like ''wow! would ya look that!'' SBDJDKL it was so fun #also i finished as much of the hat i could work on while i was there a bit early #so i pulled out my sketchbook for the last half hour and doodled a little #and the remaining women all wanted to see fhfkdl so i got to show them a page of my art #and they were so impressed HDJFDKL #its so strange sharing my art w ppl bc like... i pretty much never do it irl #so im always like super nervous and unsure and ppl pretty much always go ''WOW !! you're an artist!!!'' #and then i get MORE nervous and unsure bc idk how to react to compliments other than saying thank you gjfkdl #and its just a very silly mess of a time LOL #ANYWAYS !! good time there today as always fjfkl i almost had a panic attack at the grocery store after but i survived #idk why that happens sometimes fjdkdl my brain just decides its time to freak out #and i have to be like hey man. we're almost done here and then we'll be home soon. and we can have a breakdown once we get home okay? #and my brain kicks a rock and mutters a pouty ''okay'' and i push through the rest of the time fnfmdjdkl #anyhowdy that was A Lot and im very tired but it was good overall and I've got food again so HURRAY !! #and also i have a drawing im excited abt working on >:3 #pippen needs 2nd breakfast

Opening Commissions

Because school and medicine are a bitch, and I think I’m going to need a new drawing tablet soon (my first one has lasted me a few years but that cord is getting. dicey haha)

I’m finally doing online commissions so, here it is! It would be delightful if you distribute this post or want to support me and order something!

I have a contact email specifically for coms listed in the pic, but if you have any questions don’t be afraid to DM me. I’ll only open 10 slots for now, and will keep the status (Open / Full / Closed) in the bio

( Paypal is not agreeing with me at the moment so we’re rolling with Venmo for now )

I will not do mechs or backgrounds, just because I’m not confident enough in my ability to draw them well enough to sell.

I can do fanart of a series/character, OCs, and/or D&D characters! (If possible please have some references I can go by or a detailed description)

#commission #my art #this is my first time doing this online so this will be fun #we'll figure it out together #i do coms for friends and other folks irl all the time so this shouldnt be too different #paypal keeps giving me that nebulous ur bank has been used for too many accounts warning despite the fact that i have never used it before #apparently this is a common error message and there's just nothing to be done bout it :/ #but ill try to figure it out #those two ladies in the example icons are some of my irl dnd group players! lovely morally grey girlbosses #the rest you will recognize from my rpgau uvu because its my most recent art LMAOO #its consumed my brain #also the example pic is young Andromeda and Comet!! sneak peak of them :)

[coldflasher]

im so cross cos i was doing really well w updating dndb on a monthly basis and then i had to take a 2 week break bc i got too excited and typed too much and too aggressively and my carpal tunnel (?)/weird wrist fuckery came back with a vengeance to ruin my life and brought a fun shoulder injury with it, so i had to not write for a few weeks to conserve my typing ability for my "job" >:( but anyways after 2 weeks of sulking and watching grey's anatomy i tried working out yesterday and i guess my body was just asking me to move or something bc the pain has gone away so!! WE'RE BACK IN BUSINESS BABY

i did then fuck up my wrist again while i was grating a courgette last night lmao but it seems to be okay as long as i have my wrist braces on so. WE'RE STILL BACK IN BUSINESS. SEND ME GOOD VIBES I WANNA UPDATE SOOOOON

#i wanna give an estimated date of when this chapter will be done but we all know i can never accurately judge how long it will take me #so we'll just go for 'as soon as i can get it done #they also reopened the library so that helps!! but it sucks now. they took away all the tables and chairs and replaced them with evil stool #to discourage people from sitting there for prolonged periods #and by 'people' i mean 'me' and also the ladies from the knitting club #but idc i will still go. i'll take my own chair and desk if i have to honestly #i need someplace to write that's free and not in my house

[supermacaquecool]

And, oh yeah lol in Kinzo's ranting about why his children and grandchildren suck, he doesn't mention Ange

#umi posting #Admittedly I did find funny he said Krauss is a fool that wastes two gold coins to get one lol #Also 'you aren't considered an adult until you're successful in business' #Guess Georgie hasn't done too well yet huh lol wtv there's also Kinzo's assertment that he doesn't have what it takes to be a man #Which I did feel might be part of George's issues since he's supposed this gentler intellectual man but he can only drink for business #Eva says he isn't popular with the ladies / he's timid and even remarked that he'd do better in child care lol #Guess we'll see #Very interesting that it's also the same Rudolph says about Battler lol That he's a failure as a man #No wonder we got wellness culture battler lol

[singinrevelry]

I would like to wish everyone as pleasant an experience as I just had at the dmv

#like the line was long and it's stuffy in there #but. a surprising number of people were in a pleasant/good mood #spring is in the air maybe idk #the old men behind me were chatting pleasantly like 'oh once we get through this line we'll be done in 20 minutes' #the lady at the desk (Rose!) was a delight #last name got recognized 'are you related to [mom]. she's great' #someone else who made a similar line mix-up to me was like 'hey you had been before me. you can go ahead!' #if i can pass that on to anyone. we all deserve such an easy time at the dmv

[haniawritesthings]

ah the irony of it being near impossible to get a hold of the accessibility office

#I feel like I'm playing a fucking game of chess\ #like I email the department I get given a calendar to book an appointment the soonest I can book is January!! #so i ask if I can book sooner and i'm told yeah sure when are you available #and then I get nothing! radio fucking silence #so i call up their office #who's times aren't listed online and they don't even have an extension so i have to go through the main office every single time #and after calling twice and not getting through because these people apparently do not have regular hours #i get told yeah sure we'll get through to the lady who was originally emailing you within the week just leave your name and number with us #so i do but then it's nothing for two weeks again!! #at this point it's been nearly two months since i first emailed them #and this morning I call up again and am told okay she's in a meeting rn but we will definitely get her to call you once she's done #we just need your name number and email #all things which i have given these people before!!!! #so who fucking knows how this will go #i'm just trying to find out what accommodations they offer so I can apply #they have a much wider selection of history courses than the other uni but if this is what contacting the acessibility office will involve #each time

Spoilers for "Cold Hearted" by Serena Valentino

Finally reading the book and I will admit I did smile a bit when Lady Tremaine reminisced about her first husband. And I was kinda sad too. 😢

Also I am SO totally seeing parallels between her and Cinderella purely because of the periwinkle dress (even though Cinderella's dress is kinda technically silver) and the GARDENS. HELLO THEY BOTH WENT TO A GARDEN WITH THEIR PRINCES.

Also I wasn't aware (or didn't remember) Drizella was older by a year. And seeing her dress in blue was an interesting surprise considering she usually has yellow, but maybe that might change.

And I did appreciate that little crumb alluding to Hook's book, which I haven't gotten yet but I will eventually!

#Disney #Lady Tremaine #Serena Valentino #Disney villains #I'm not done yet but I'm almost halfway through. #So no spoilers please! #Looking forward to how this will go! #Storm yells about books. #Maybe I'll keep the tag maybe I'll change it. #We'll see.

Hey, I saw your tags on the one post about abuse, and I wanted to reach out and say that I also struggled a lot and hurt a lot of people during a very low part of my life - and I’m proud of you, and of me, for doing our best to change ❤️🫂 I hope recovery for you is going well, brother, and that you have a great day/night. 🫶

aw thank you !! 🥺 same to you, homie. i hope everything's going well, & i'm proud of you for doing your best, too <3 🫂

it's been hard, especially since i lost my most recent job a year or two ago at this point, which has kind of put my brain into an isolative bubble. but i'm definitely still trying to be my best possible self.

#ask #ive been keeping myself out of social spaces for a long time to avoid relapsing. but i don't think my isolation is doing me too many favors. #so i'm trying to open up again. and that's been hard. but i'm doing my best #i've been doing better about catching my shitty behavior and i'm slowly getting used to like. going back on the shit i say #and apologizing for it. because i know it's shitty. and it feels shitty for me to backpedal. #especially when i try so hard not to say shit i don't mean lmao- i go so far as to make a point in speaking in definitives 🥴 #because at the end of the day. i Don't know everything. and for me to confidently say that i know something only to be proven incorrect #damages my pride ig lmao- & i have my mom 2 thank 4 that mindset 🥴 tho that's no excuse for me to stay shitty. #i don't Want to be too proud to admit my faults. & i'm creeping and crawling away from that attitude. #it's been easier since my mom's been doing the same; she's trying her best to do better. and i can tell that she's trying. #she's more patient with my snippiness than she used to be. and that's been a big help. #we're all doing the best we can. especially with the resources we have; some are better off than others. #but we're all still trying our best to not be shitty. #(unrelated but on the note of not speaking in definitives. one lady was asking if i could add a gift card to her already-in-progress order-) #(& i said 'im not sure if i can do that' & so i asked my manager & she also said 🤷‍♂️. & when she came up & asked the customer what was up) #(the customer said ''ur cashier (me) said i couldn't add this to my order when other people have done it for me'') #(& i said '...thats not what i said.' & she said 'yes it was. u said i couldn't do this' & my manager was like 'w/e we'll do it this way') #(& i had 2 stop myself from doubling down & telling the customer that i make a point not to speak in definitives-) #(-therefore i Know for a Fact that i said ''i'm not sure.'' lmao. of all the things i was sure of in that transaction. that was it. lol)

[immobiliter]

I love working in medicine. I especially love working in medicine as a queer person because I get to see the entire breadth of our community. It's not what you think it is.

Do you know how many older gay and trans people I meet on a daily basis? It's not all young, thin teens with dyed hair.

There's this one gay couple, in their 60s, always get their lab work done together, always leaning into each other and laughing about some private joke of the week. They lost a bunch of their friends in the 80s, and they always remark about how good our facility is to them. They smile when they talk to me like yeah, we made it, we're still kicking and screaming, and by god that's how we'll go out.

This butch lady with pure silver that works at a mechinc's shop down the street and always calls me sugar when I see her. Checked in a person the other day who looked like the blanded most non-descript typical middle age cis dude, but went by a femme name and had x/nonbinary gender tag and they/them pronuns.

Then there's the young trans kids that are tto scared to dress the way they want most of the time, still uncertain about using their name and pronouns in a medical setting until we do it for them withiout them asking, treat them as the gender they prefer, and you just can see the weight fall off them as their care giver team treats them as human and with such care and love. They're always smiling by the end even if they had to do something frightening and painful.

The 20 and 30 somethings that I see going out of their way to interact with me because I'm proudly, visibly queer at work, most especially for them because we all need to know that there is someone looking out for us when we're vulnerable. We exist as this vibrant, complex tapestry, so far outside of the way we get stereotyped and talked about online and in the media. My god we are everywhere, experiencing life in ways you will never know about. You are not alone. You were never alone.

parents w no dance experience stop trying to teach your child the steps during class just because it’s visitors week and you’re allowed to sit in class and watch challenge

#UGH it was AWFUL with one mom in particular #she kept giving her daughter directions and telling her what do to and where to go #like lady you've never danced before PLUS you don't know the dance PLUS IM the teacher PLUS you're disrupting other students #PLUS you're annoying me AND ALSO you're wrong about the steps too and ugh #and then. omg. in that tap class the teacher i apprentice under and i were trying to explain #''yeah the kids are off the rhythm for this song (we will rock u) and we dont know #why they're so off or when it started so please show them grace bc #we've done everything we can think of to fix it but they're not getting it #but we'll keep trying until they get it'' and the second #she said ''we don't know when it happened but all of the sudden they're off'' #that mom said ''it's been going on for awhile'' #LADY. SHUT UUUPPP. how do you know that? hm? you're not even here! #you drop ur kid off (way too early btw) and LEAVE. ugh. #that was awful and her kid is in 3 classes so we had to deal with it all night #annoying! annoying! i hate visitors week at dance! i hate it! #and i have to substitute for another teacher on thursday #and i have never subbed for her before so idk what to do really #and it's only two classes but it's still stressful bc i'll be by myself and #i don't know their dance so i can't really do much other than watch and correct their technique #and do some across the floors? bc i don't even know their warm ups but we can't use the barres anyway #bc the chairs for visitors are against the walls w barres #so that's gonna be. ugh. #at least i get paid for that bc i only get paid when i sub by myself even tho the pay is ass #its fine. only two classes. sigh. #yriesodottumblrdotcom #dance tag #tag rambles
