@anna_gvf red grease paint, was emulating the painted style rather than trying to be realistic with it. it was a bitch to work with though

[pastell @pastellexists]

@seanross241 @JennyENicholson it is the one in tampa, yes

[pastell @pastellexists]

@Artsyrean I put the vertical monitor on the left, and more vertically aligned with the horizontal one. But I like it because I can put a YouTube window in the top, a reference for whatever I’m working on on bottom, and then whatever my main task is can be on the horizontal monitor.

@Em_Gur1best @tvneofyourdeath ??? western fandom as it currently exists can be traced back to housewives in the 60s writing about Kirk and Spock from Star Trek kissing and fucking. not only do millennials know about yaoi, boomers and the silent generation also know about yaoi.

@violet_octopi yeah i got some work done and they filled a chip in one of my teeth i'd had for years and loved even though i asked them not to fill that in. hate dentists!

[pastell @pastellexists]

guys like, yes bad media literacy is a problem but like, y’all are using “media literacy” as a synonym for “smart” like it is a specific thing

[pastell @pastellexists]

@verryraine yes i do lol

[pastell @pastellexists]

and i don’t think it makes you a larper if you agree with a need for revolution but don’t want to fucking die. it makes you normal.

[pastell @pastellexists]

i get tired of takes like this. those hundreds of thousands of zoomers want to live. they don’t want to be a revolutionary martyr, because being a revolutionary martyr fucking sucks.

[dylan @narrenhut]

See, this is the kind of stuff that the “firebomb a Walmart” tweet is meant for. Hundreds of thousands of zoomers liked this tweet, yet none of them will act on it. It’s a cringe larp, like 50-year-old Republican men who accumulate guns for the apocalypse that will never come.

[pastell @pastellexists]

@Colin_d_m Any kind of transit or traffic based game is a really easy sell for me! I would absolutely pay for this kind of thing.

[pastell @pastellexists]

@FakeGirondin @politicaltofu consider this: pre-12th amendment presidents and vice presidents did this too, it was just hatefucking then

[pastell @pastellexists]

@classiclits Not a deep cut or anything, but Hiroshima by John Hersey did it for me. Years later I had a panic attack seeing the Enola Gay in the National Air & Space Museum and I attribute that to this book.

[pastell @pastellexists]

@cosmug i have genuinely thought i was one of like, three total people that think halimede’s thing sucks and it isn’t funny, im so glad im not the only one

[pastell @pastellexists]

@skye_frog_ Got one of those at a hardware store in Georgia. It’s a pretty decent soda.

[pastell @pastellexists]

and condoms have no actual downsides if you aren’t lame so i don’t see a good reason to not advocate for their use

[pastell @pastellexists]

yeah ofc you don’t get pregnant if you don’t end up with semen inside you. the problem is that you have to actually pull out, and relying on something like that with split second timing where there’s an incentive to put it off to the last minute is stupid and it will fail.

[Kitten 🐈 @kitten_beloved]

Pulling out has an effectiveness rate of 97%, basically the same as condoms

It's the best kept secret in the world, everyone's public school sex ed curriculum taught them it was worthless and they were lying

[pastell @pastellexists]

@RaidicThndercoc i didnt know it was a weird self-censoring thing tbh, my friends started saying it during that one arcane scene but they were like "lesbian sex!!! sesbian lex!!"i thought it was just to be silly. like saying something in pig latin.

[pastell @pastellexists]

@ae_e_em @thatfrood Communes named after indigenous peoples, often not the ones that were where the commune was located, is unfortunately a pretty common occurrence in the Utopian movement of the 1800s.

[pastell @pastellexists]

@T0Paine @Ascended_OG “I’ve never actually seen a painting and never will but it all seems like the worst dregs of outdated cloying kitsch culture from the Renaissance”

[pastell @pastellexists]

@betafish3d oh hi! hope you are well!
