id much rather see pups & drag queens & leather daddies & kinksters & half naked transsexuals etc at pride than cops & corporations & tiktok users with pansexual flags. btw
A short list of things I think everyone should try or do at least once in their life that will make you feel more alive. Not all of these are applicable to every person, but it’s a summary:
Take a dance class of any style with a semi-serious instructor for at least 4 classes worth
Write a work of fiction, of *any* length and *any* quality
Learn a least a bit of a language that isn’t your native one. You don’t need to become anywhere near fluent, but try and get a bit beyond yes, no, and where’s the bathroom. If you’re from a country where most people are bilingual already, that doesn’t count! Get bits of a language with which you are truly unfamiliar.
In the same vein, make peace with subtitles and start consuming music, TV and movies from cultures that aren’t your own. If your country imports large amounts of media from a specific other culture or cultures (American movies in foreign markets, for example) that also doesn’t count! Get some feelers out to begin to take in content from a culture that you don’t already have a lot of knowledge of.
Try at least one less common/less “exercisey” and more fun type of physical exercise such as roller blading or roller or ice skating, gymnastics, trampoline, rock climbing, aerial silks, pole dancing, surfing, etc
Learn a hobby or craft that produces a physical finished product and produce a single, complete object - regardless of quality - that you can hold in your hands and say that you made.
Look up a how it’s made video or YouTube video on how an item that’s interesting or relevant to you is made
Give one type of thing - media, hobby, sport, whatever - that you’ve never been interested in or never tried because of some preconceived perception an honest shot and see if your perception was correct. Sometimes it won’t be, sometimes it will be, but it’s valuable to know.
Rearrange the furniture in a room in your home
It’s about NOVELTY, babey! Get some enrichment into your enclosure!
I’ve been doing all of these things and my brain and body feel so nice
All this talk about glass onion and Daniel Craig playing a gay detective and not once have I seen the quote from him saying he likes to kiss men. little disappointed in you tumblr
Found the quote!
Do you think Daniel “I kiss all my leading men” Craig ever kissed Hugh Grant to “break the ice”?
nintendo is taking down the 3ds and wii u eshops next year
and they had this lovingly made totally not taunting message to leave about their virtual console legacy they’re destroying
(that they’ve, fun fact, taken down from their site now :])
this pisses me off so much because nintendo is AWARE we want their legacy of games put on their best selling system (literally, outside of the combined sales of every nintendo DS, lite, DSi, and XL, and the GB and GBC’s combined sales, the switch is at the top)
and yet they still do not care. it’s not about them not having this content either because 1 the wii u vc and 3ds vc. exist. and 2, even for stuff that isnt on the virtual console yet, we’ve been given internal proof from previous big nintendo leaks (namely the gigaleak) that nintendo does not mess around when it comes to keeping backups of their older content.
its not a lack of money either, nintendo is literally one of the richest companies in japan. it’s just. a lack of caring
last thing im gonna say about this is that the 3DSand Wii Uboth have excellent, actively updated guides for softmodding them to run homebrew. the Wiiand DSi do as well!
on top of that the emulation general wiki
is an amazing resource for emulators for pretty much every generation
of game system, including emulators for non game systems like arcade hardware, PCs, and mobile phones, along with emulators on game systems! so check the wiki out if you’re interested!
The history of the Disney company is so fucking fascinating and complicated that I could spend the rest of my life studying it.
I hate the company. I love the media. I want it to burn. I was profoundly shaped as a person by some of the art its workers have produced. It’s evil. It’s beautiful. It’s an eldritch horrorterror personified as a charismatic mouse. It’s a nightmarish example of capitalist hell. It destroys as much as it creates. It’s a flaming trainwreck. I can’t look away.
It’s the goddamn Elephant’s Foot of media studies.
It’s honestly fits perfectly with who Walt ultimately was. A brilliantly intelligent manipulator terrified of the inevitability of loss yet incapable of costing himself as he lashed out at his friends and workers over basic workers rights, driven to obsession over a theoretical town where he was basically a pleasant Uncle dictator who could determine the lives of his citizens right down to what appliances they use.
At 40, Franz Kafka (1883-1924), who never married and had no children, walked through the park in Berlin when he met a girl who was crying because she had lost her favourite doll. She and Kafka searched for the doll unsuccessfully. Kafka told her to meet him there the next day and they would come back to look for her.
The next day, when they had not yet found the doll, Kafka gave the girl a letter “written” by the doll saying “please don’t cry. I took a trip to see the world. I will write to you about my adventures.”
Thus began a story which continued until the end of Kafka’s life.
During their meetings, Kafka read the letters of the doll carefully written with adventures and conversations that the girl found adorable.
Finally, Kafka brought back the doll (he bought one) that had returned. “It doesn’t look like my doll at all,“ said the girl.
Kafka handed her another letter in which the doll wrote: “my travels have changed me.” the little girl hugged the new doll and brought her happy home.
A year later Kafka died. Many years later, the now-adult girl found a letter inside the doll. In the tiny letter signed by Kafka it was written:
“Everything you love will probably be lost, but in the end, love will return in another way.”
i’m abandoning my current skyrim run to try and collect all 50+ vanilla followers and i’ve decided to dress them up in cool wizard robes to keep track of them in a crowd
update: i now have 11 followers and they push me around so hard that i’ll sometimes clip through the ground
yeet i’m at 20ish followers and now i feel like a teacher trying their best to manage a gaggle of students during a field trip
i literally cannot get through them?? the orb pondering class of 4e201 is starting to rebel…
onmund pondered over the orb sm that he’s levitating everywhere????
anyways tiny little update:
- i’ve 31 followers now
- only half of them actually fast travel with me, the other half travels by foot to the destination
- everytime i enter somewhere, i’m dropped a solid 10 metres away from the actual entrance because it’s so crowded
- everyone is so loud
- brelyna will sometimes say “got any sausages?” and jenassa will reply “gods you’re starving” which i think is cute :)
orb pondering class of 4e201 now has 40 students!! serana’s too emo to wear anything else for the moment and i’ve decided against recruiting cicero because there can only be one class clown and it’s gonna be me
we’re at 45 followers!! only 10 to go now :)
This is what starting a cult is like up to and including the part where you all go beserk and kill everyone in markarth
people who were saying that notre dame should’ve burned down bc it’s only a building and people who are saying the van gogh should’ve been destroyed in the protest bc art is for rich people think they are soooooo radical and smart and left wing when they’re literally among the stupidest minds of this generation and also unknowingly fascist
For those who don’t know: Ikumi Nakamura is the woman who was senior artist on Bayonetta, and designed the titular character along with Hideki Kamiya. Their greatest moment of bonding was over their insistence that Bayonetta keep her glasses on at all times.
Nakamura cannot go to horny jail. She is the warden.
