it's such bs that the whole guilt-ridden stoic self-sacrificing martyr thing doesn't work outside of fiction. repressing all your emotions and neglecting your physical wellbeing should make you god's most tragically beautiful morally unassailable little soldier of righteousness but all it does is give you bad skin and gastrointestinal problems

i find myself far more charmed by aral vorkosigan than i know i would by any of the modern romantasy love interests with a ~dark past i've heard about. this is funny because he's an utterly charmless man, but when he awkwardly proposed to cordelia a few days after meeting her and said he'd been thinking about it since the moment he first saw her (when she was barfing on the mud), i had to laugh, shake my head thinking "what a strange little man," and admit i'd been won over.

Wheek Wheek!

I've made two guinea pig emotes!! Feel free to use them x)

If u use them, pls put "jestpurr_" at the start of the emote for credit!! ^^

If u want a custom guinea pig emote, contact me, I do emote comms and I'd happily customize them to look like ur guinea pig, or whatever patterns and colors of ur choosing!

hey quick PSA but “reading before bed to wind down” only works if you’re normal about books btw. if you aren’t you are going to end up awake at 2:52am after finishing the whole book just trust me on this one

If you have a moment today, 6/30/25, to call your Republican senators and scream at them scream at them ask them to reconsider their plan to destroy Medicaid and America in general, please do. I strongly suggest mentioning if not highlighting the deficit and ICE's wasteful and unnecessary budget in your call. In this version of the bill, ICE is set to receive more funding than the Marines and become the world's most expensive police and detention force.

Hot take: the following things can be simultaneously true:

• America has always done bad things
• Trumpism is connected to the failures of Reconstruction
• Trump is still a uniquely terrible figure who ushered in a uniquely destructive era in American politics
• Snide remarks like “lulz, lmao, you think Trump is bad? America was ALWAYS bad” contributed to the cynicism, nihilism, and apathy which led to not enough people caring about the country to try to stop him at the ballot box

It reminds me of people being outraged when Democrats responded to something like Charlottesville with “this isn’t who we are”; yeah, obviously that’s always been part of America, but rhetoric has an impact and it both empowers white supremacists and demoralizes normies to say “yep, white supremacists represent America and everything has always sucked shit.” There are consequences to pretending all people and eras are equally bad, because then people stop taking new and dire threats seriously, and there are consequences to people believing their society is always and forever evil, because then they don't fight against those threatening to harm that society. You don't need to whitewash history to understand any of this.

I should be able to both read for 8hrs a night and sleep for 8hrs a night. That I cannot is very rude and, frankly, poor design.

Here it is in all its Highlands Coo glory!! I LOVE how it came out. It’s certainly a marathon. If you are considering making this quilt I have 3 pieces of advice for you

1-Buy an Acorn pressing solution pen and refill. This is GAME CHANGING for flat seams and better accuracy

2-for the love of all things, trim to the measurements at EVERY step

3-Make the thistle borders first. Your future self will be so over all the teeny piecing. You are just going to want to be able to add sashing and borders to finish the top. Trust me. You will thank your past self for thinking ahead!

That being said, go forth and make all the Coos!!!
