annoyed at men 

I'm starting to try and make an effort to not automatically cede as much space when guys do that.

annoyed at men 

I'm becoming increasingly frustrated with guys at clubs getting into my airspace. Like, okay, I get that it's crowded and yeah there's gonna be some amount of contact. But there's a pattern of specifically men carelessly pushing in while talking or dancing with a partner and I guess presuming that I'll move?

Last night one guy was pretty much pinning @acetone_kitten against the stage even after I went as far as verbally pointing out what he was doing.

subnautica lol 

Ten minutes into Subnautica: "oh shit I can't go over there. There's Stalkers over there, and they have really big teeth!"

Ten hours into Subnautica: "Oh, the Stalker I just waltzed past noticed me! I guess someone wants to say hi. Hi Stalker!"

me, whenever I reject a call from an unknown number: "But what if it's someone I know calling from jail and they need someone to bail them out?"

It's a weirdly specific anxiety.

Also, if you haven't seen The Iron Giant, I can't recommend it enough. It's a sweet, charming film about paranoia and xenophobia in 1950s America.

I want to destroy the idea that art is something that is made by a specialized class of people.

I can't draw for shit, never really learned to paint, can't make music, can't do so many things.

But there's lots of things I can do. I write, sometimes. I've learned how to make simple jewelry. Right now, I'm making silicone copies of penises. And dammit, all that counts.

There's so, so many things out there that qualify as art, and I know there's some that you can participate in the creation of.

Now I see it as super clumsy compared to any half-profressional work.

But I made a gemmed silver jewelry, and that's pretty dang cool.

Maybe I'll wear my cast silver orobouros necklace out tonight.

Fine metals teacher, early in the class: "I know it's more expensive, but you'll actually be really happy when you start working in silver instead of copper. It's just such a nicer material to work with."
Me: "Sounds fake but okay."

Me, a month later: "Oh shit she was totally right, silver is magical."

I miss working with silver. Really should re-do the wire wrap on that meteorite fragment necklace. Broke years ago and I didn't get around to fixing it.

Me, age 19: "There's so many nonstandard things about me that there's no way I'm ever gonna find a partner or social group that really Gets It on more than one or two."

Me now: "Okay the city I live in has an entire subculture of polyamorous trans gay furry communists."

Okay so I'm starting to realize that whoever is editing Great British Baking Show is really on top of their game. Lots of fun irony cuts, some pretty subtle and some less so.

Watching enough YouTube that I'm starting to be able to identify lots of various bits of royalty-free music.
