Lately I’ve been idly thinking about trying to figure out what “my colors” are, mostly bc we found this booklet of color recs my mom got done at a makeup counter in the 90s and my sister assured me that I am also “a winter.”

Idk. The only thing I know for sure is, I do look good in black.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

FFXIV had a new patch yesterday, and I’ve been having a lot of fun in the new deep dungeon.

My default dragoon outfit is very fitting of a faerie princely theme, and I love it, :*)

These have been making the rounds on tumblr, so you should also see my decade-old fanart of Wicked Lady

A young woman in a dark flowing hair in a dress modeled after, I think, an Elie Saab dress from the mid-2010s. She’s under a red parasol.

The same young woman with two spiral oxhorn pigtails in a white dress.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.
