first assigned reading in my textile history class is about orientalism and the political appropriation of the paisley print and kashmir shawl by the british written by a south asian researcher

"in this essay i would like to offer a way of reading pattern and textile history as political and ideological" sickos yes ha ha ha yes . jpeg

dropbox link to the PDF of the reading i just uploaded bc it's institution paywalled otherwise <3 let me know if you have any issues downloading it

I hate that thing some people do where it's like. "I left my wallet on the table to see if you'd say anything" or "I wanted to see if you'd wash the car if I stopped doing it"

Cause like

I dont know about anyone else

But I am perpetually hovering three inches above the strong subconscious belief that everyone knows what they're doing at all times except me, so if you change your normal patterns and I notice, then I will assume it is an intentional choice with a thought-out plan behind it and I will avoid interfering

And if I don't notice, because I won't, because why would I, because not much bothers me and if you don't say anything to indicate you are bothered then how would I KNOW

Alternatives to experimenting on me like a lab rat when you suspect me of being inconsiderate:

gentle reminder that you’re still a writer even if you haven’t written in days. or weeks. or months. or if you take a long break and don’t write in years.

the emoji combo throwback is killing me. like you just had to be there when new seasons were airing LMAO. anyway yes obviously nate knows, i don't think there was even a doubt cause it wouldn't make sense otherwise.

just made some chicken and rice burritos that turned out real good and I wanted to share. like literally finished them and immediately was like 'I have to tell the people'

Rice Cooker Chicken and Rice Burritos, an Approximate Resippy

Ingredience:

rinse rice in cold water until water runs clear, put in rice maker. fill to the correct line according to your rice maker (making one rice cooker cup should be fill to the first line, but I don't know your rice maker)

optional: add about half again more water for extra mooshy rice. I know this is not everybody's thing, but for me this gave it the texture like the grilled stuffed burritos from taco bell, and part of what made me go OOOH THIS IS GOOD was the texture. however, you do you.

add oil, taco seasoning, bullion, and you can also add some spice with chipotle powder if you want. If not, just leave it out. If you are using low salt seasoning and bullion, you may want to add a pinch of salt. if you're using canned chicken, also add it now.

turn on your rice cooker and go do something else for a bit. come back when rice is done. my rice cooker takes around 30 minutes, I don't know about yours.

heat chicken up in microwave, if you're not using canned. stir chicken into rice.

warm up burrito flats and make burritos, topping with cheese, enchilada sauce, and sour cream to taste. for six inch burrito flats, the recipe will make approximately 12 burritos for me.

more notes below the cut, mostly me yappin in more detail, but I wanted to get the full recipe before the cut

honest to god, I thought burrito flats was a more widely understood term, but it's possible it was unique to my ma, or maybe something she picked up from hers. they both passed away years ago, and the rest of my mom's family has gotten vocally conservative in ways that makes me uncomfortable interacting with them, so it'll have to remain a mystery.

I considered editing it out, but I think it's worth preserving a linguistic quirk, and I'm only a little embarrassed that I'm using an apparently very unusual term. I learned something!

the important part: these burritos still fuck, and they were very easy to make.

Finally, the original has crossed my dash.

@strangezeroz welcome to tumblr where the app decides when you can be gifted with the sight of og memes, you cannot look for these yourself via the search engine, you won’t find them, you have to wait to be gifted them

For those of you who might be new here, Tumblr has no algorithm, legendary memes are brought to your dash by mutuals like pet cats bringing you dead birds.

This is Charles. He wants to go on a journey around tumblr. could you show him around?

It’s my honest pleasure, Charles, to aid you on this quest.

It matters that we refuse.

It matters that we resist.

It matters that we be loud about our refusal and resistance.

"Block this ad" isn't good enough, I need a feature that directly tells the company "this was so shit that it lowered my opinion of your product"

good news citizens! while i was at the beach, i successfully indoctrinated another gullible child into using LIBBY. my best friend LIBBY. the library app on your PHONE that gives you FREE EBOOKS AND AUDIOBOOKS with the tap of a finger! are you sick of incurring late fees? giving your hard earned money to jeff bezos? Libby has it for you.

STOP CENSORING SUBTITLES/TRANSCRIPTS/CLOSED CAPTIONS

LET DEAF AND NEURODIVERGENT PEOPLE READ “FUCK”

I know this sounds jokey and funney but I am serious and it is ableist and infantilising and inaccessible so stop

If the speech is censored, the text should also be censored.

If the speech is not censored, the text should also be not censored.

it. it ends in 50 years…..horse is fucking eternal

Let’s keep the post circulating for 50 years it’ll be great when we’re all in the old folks home

DOES THAT SAY 47 MORE YEARS LEFT…HOW DID YOU EVEN GET A 50 YEAR OPTION

shorthands for dumbassery that i have grown to love deeply

this is prime proof that this ENTIRE WEBSITE is autistic because nowhere else would a no tags post that's just an informative list about slang get this much traction.

anyway more addittions

actually you know what that's exactly it i would rather someone add 5 parantheticals after every sentence than use tone indicators it's 1. accomplishing SO much more in terms of clarity 2. extremely funny to look at depending on how they're used

observe:

"is this real? /gen" — i thought /gen meant "general" for ages. i would not be able to understand this on first sight a few years ago and is thus ineffective

"is this real? (genuine question)" — i fully understand this without issue

"is this real? (genuine question) (can't tell) (very realistic) (looks real) (scary) (photoshop?)" — is not only incredibly clear it's also very funny to read all of these thoughts stapled together while also in their own parentheses. it's also the most useful because now i can actually address all parts of what they are asking me with as much specificity as BOTH of us need

parentheses my beloved (they are for bonus thoughts) (and questions) ( and sidetracks) (like a 2nd conversation on top of the first)

did u know u could just draw bad and nothing happens did u know that

girlies are u doing ok

oh no girlies

the tags are dire so here’s how i’ve come to feel about it

& maybe it’s not that “drawing bad will feel bad” but “not letting myself draw is making myself feel bad”
