Leftist with an incorrigible love for fancy aesthetics (mostly Renaissance Italy/Victorian England) that might be incorrectly read as a monarchist because of that.

Unicorn, but also occasionally gryphon.

  • What's your addiction?

    Jump

  • Food

    It might be an eating disorder

    I avoid talking to my therapist about it because I don't want to confront the truth.

  • What age do you stop trusting the government?

    Jump

  • As soon as I knew what a government was. Age 12ish

    Took another 18 years for me to actually have articulated reasons why other than "feels*

  • What search engine do you guys use?

    Jump

  • Startpage (which is a proxy for bing, but... Yeah)

  • What's the best thing that happened to you this week?

    Jump

  • Profit splits from the corp I work at dropped.

    Basically an extra monthly wage that I don't have to put into rent.

  • Oh, one more addendum to this, another myth related to Corsets:

    "The silhouette of the 19th century was achieved by squishing a woman's organs to the point of death"

    This was rare. Ladies were instead padding everything else. You'll look like you have an impossibly thin waist if you've basically strapped a pillow to your arse and another to your tits.

  • That we have gotten dumber.

    Or smarter.

    Or more moral.

    Or less moral.

    Anyone who says that is trying to sell you some ideology.

    If you know your history, you know humanity has fundamentally always been humanity since we started writing shit down. Possibly earlier, but then we can't be sure because no-writing-itis.

    Some of the oldest texts we have are old men cranking about the kids these days.

    There's stories of people being awful and exploiting each other. There's stories of people taking care of each other and of their surroundings during dark times. There's stories of people being weird little guys. We have just sorta always been ourselves.

  • Started recording history? Like in ancient Greece, one of the gayest cultures in all of time? Like ancient Egypt with its myths about jizz in lettuce? Ancient china with its noted love of femboys and general belief that being gay was just "a thing young men do, that is fine for them to do so long as they do their social duty of marrying and having babies"?

    Maybe prehistoric society was violently heteronormative and it's true we can't know... But saying "cultures were strictly heteronormative when we started recording history" is fucking hilarious. Heteronormativity is if anything a modern disease caught from abarhamic religion.

  • The Ankle thing was less about the ankles themselves and more about how a lady (and by 'lady' I mean specifically rich women, who did in fact wear skirts that touched the floor in a lot of time periods) lifting her skirt implied an invitation for further intimacy while not being indecent.

  • How do I peel a hard boiled egg?

    Jump

  • My boyfriend has this trick where he pokes a hole on the top, a hole in the bottom, and then he blows and the egg just falls out.

    Never managed to pull it off, I just claw at it until it's done.

  • Who is an artist or public figure you still enjoy despite them being cancelled for bad behaviour?

    Jump

  • After being burned by a dozen creators, I find it safer for my own emotional well-being to just assume all things beautiful and evocative are made by someone who is secretly a terrible person.

    Saves me from the disappointment of finding out later.

    I'm constantly surprised when it turns out someone famous isn't getting up to some bad shit.

  • My mom says that people who don't have "value" don't deserve to live and that "depression" is just an excuse for laziness. What's is your rebuttal for it?

    Jump

  • The rebuttal is:

    Go no contact, if she ever asks why you don't talk to her anymore, tell her she's a complete monster.

  • Freud would have something to say...

    Jump

  • I have put my wang in grosser things before I'm sure

    But I wasn't about to actually try money-masturbation. For a dozen OTHER reasons.

  • Freud would have something to say...

  • Hmmmm. I wonder if wanking with a banknote feels good.

  • My momma said, girls are the devil.

    Jump

  • She was a stand user.

  • If you had to replace the floppy disk save symbol in software with a new symbol for saving what would you choose and why?

    Jump

  • An arrow pointing up at a line. Preferably with each being a different colour.

    The arrow indicates movement. The line is abstract. But with the colour coding it carries the idea of 'putting the thing into the other thing'.

    The rest is learned pattern recognition. A download is a down arrow in a circle because you are taking the thing from the other thing. So saving is an arrow to a line because you are putting the thing in the other thing.

  • Does anybody remember this song?

  • And now it's playing in my head
