@seb_mikella I was like ‘hey, vanilla, that sounds like sol de janeiro’ and I’m not sure whether to be relieved that it’s not one of the ones I have (and love), or sad that I can’t grab this one without getting my arachnophobic ass mugged by spiders

@INDIEWASHERE Hate crime against Jews has risen, but comparing it to the holocaust is wildly incorrect and just makes everything worse. (I know saying this is pointless + the only people in these replies are people who agree or who aren’t interested, but I just needed to say it somewhere <3)

[Eloise Unerman @Inkandamaranth]

@INDIEWASHERE Hamas aren’t targeting Jews. It’s just idiots that are looking for a reason to be like that. They think all Jews should pay for Israeli government’s actions, or all Muslims should pay for Hamas’ actions. Those are not the same people saying ‘Free Palestine’. 2/3

(My gf got me this game after I mentioned it once. once. I’ve been doing a lot of gouache painting lately, and I wanna paint all the charms and Noomlin and Lil’ Gazi, waiting for some cool black watercolour paper to arrive so the snow can really pop ^_^)

[Eloise Unerman @Inkandamaranth]

It’s a Friday morning and I just discovered that Lil’ Berry from #Wildfrost gets bigger every time you heal them. Giggling in my pjs rn, love that for them <3

@EvilTurtleClaw @KnorkemannNagi @me_lindesu @KeystoneSP @RespectfulMemes This reply is actually really funny to me, because it’s so clear you don’t know anything about trans history. This isn’t ‘new ideology’. There have been trans people for hundreds of years. And, barring that, have you ever heard of Stonewall?

[Eloise Unerman @Inkandamaranth]

@pipimisha @monstermemories @JudeStarBerry What’s absolutely wild to me is that this isn’t even a hidden thing, this *had* its own drama *at the time*. Also Jewish perspective on this - I’ll never be quite as comfy with Felix again, but mobbing him like that was a slippery slope to accountability becoming harassment.

Looking for freelance clients rn, so please get in touch if you’re looking for a sharp eye to look over your creative writing/other text, or RT if you know someone who might be interested. ❤️ It’d mean the world to me, really.

[Eloise Unerman @Inkandamaranth]

Been a difficult few months, and it still is, but I wanted to talk about one of the good things to come out of it - I just passed my proofreading exam, a shiny 97%! 🥂This is a big deal for me, because now I can support myself when my creative muse is a lil broken.

@TheRevDrLeslie @sivafled @EclecticRadical @qaomene Same goes for the emotional labour. There’s valid commentary to be had on parenting falling disproportionately on women. But that’s a chat for your partner/a set of political tweets. This is callous, blames the kids, and sounds like it was ripped right out of a sociology textbook

[Eloise Unerman @Inkandamaranth]

@stopthatgirl7 @Jacxonic @soundslikecanoe Exactly, imagine thinking you have a problem coffee can’t solve smh >.> bc that’s so easy, we might as well throw in a couple more medical conditions. Congrats, you’re now the proud owner of an increased risk of epileptic seizures and also you’re too nauseous to eat breakfast

[Eloise Unerman @Inkandamaranth]

@stopthatgirl7 @Jacxonic @soundslikecanoe I’d pay to see everyone who’s aggressively a morning person try a week of workdays that start at 4am. Yes, drag yourself out of bed at 2am, fight to keep your eyes open, deal with that ever-present headache and dread that you’ll have to do it all over again tomorrow

[Barnsley Museums @BarnsleyMuseums]

@AutArmadillo Love how the response to this wasn’t realising how messed up it is that the school doesn’t care about kids/staff being totally exhausted, but to get mad at you for not wanting that for your kid. Also bless you for giving her time off, it would’ve meant the world to me as a kid ❤️

[Eloise Unerman @Inkandamaranth]

@Melanie_K982 People need to realise we have nothing to gain by policing how valid someone’s autism is. We do more harm in accusing people of not being truly autistic/autistic enough than we do by including people whose diagnosis would maybe be something else if they were properly assessed.

(If you can read my handwriting, congratulations but also don’t judge me)

[Eloise Unerman @Inkandamaranth]

Today’s my 21st birthday, so now’s as good a time as any to announce that, similarly to the last couple of months, I won’t be posting anything for a while so I can spend more time with this dude

[Eloise Unerman @Inkandamaranth]

#MementoMori
What a difference a year makes. Words aren’t enough. Thank you for showing us the power we hold, for setting such a beautiful example of creativity. And for giving us The Ultimate Trolley Problem, which was an absolute banger of a birthday video.

[Eloise Unerman @Inkandamaranth]

I also kind of had to sleep. But that's beside the point. I set an alarm to see this final hour - I wanted to see you guys go. It's been a beautiful year.
#MementoMori
Unus Annus.

[Eloise Unerman @Inkandamaranth]

I've never tweeted about you guys, but it felt important to do that in your final hour. This year changed so much in me and your content had a hand in that. For me, making the most of the time I have left meant learning to let go, to do what makes me happy 1/3

[Eloise Unerman @Inkandamaranth]

without counting every second. By stopping myself from placing so much value in time, I made some of my time more valuable. And that meant not watching the whole stream, because I realised I didn't want or need to cling to all 12 hours to say goodbye properly. 2/3
