I wear lolita fashion for myself; for fierce femininity on my own terms; for bringing strange and unexpected beauty into the ordinary world.
🎀
I wear j-fashion as part of a community that celebrates all this and more; that delights in elegance and excess and experimentation.
Elya is seated on a stone bench; they are wearing a burgundy and off-white Metamorphose JSK and matching headdress with a white blouse, burgundy socks, and black platform mary jane shoes. They are carrying a black velvet heart-shaped purse. Elya is standing in front of a backlit curtain, posing to show off their outfit. They are wearing a black and white old-school style JSK by The Black Ribbon, a short-sleeve black blouse, black and white striped socks, and black shoes. Their full-head mogwai mask is topped with a black and white rectangle headdress, and they are carrying a Gizmo plush which is wearing a matching dress. A close-up of the details of Elya's outfit; they are wearing a black Atelier Pierrot JSK with a corset-laced bodice, a purple Lady Sloth chiffon blouse, coordinating necklaces and rings from Néant Glass and BB&B, and a brooch by Puvithel. Elya poses with their bat'leth, wearing an Angelic Forest "Girly Gang" JSK, Lady Sloth chiffon blouse, Teja Jamilla printed tights, and Cotton Candy Feet shoes, all in various shades of lavender. They are carrying an ita bag shaped like a starfleet combadge. Matching lavender bows adorn their head over their ridged forehead.

When you hear them ask
(and you will hear them ask)
why astronauts
and Olympic athletes
are still wearing masks
in 2026,
kindly but firmly reply
that the real question is
if astronauts
and Olympic athletes
are still wearing masks
in 2026
then why aren’t the rest of us.

It's still cold enough to stack main pieces, so I've been thinking of doing that more often. I definitely want to revisit this coord again--so many people at Wawa just really loved this one on my pre-work gas/coffee run!

Two images of Poster in a white strawberry print long-sleeve-OP-worn-as-a-blouse (Lief / Strawberry Fields) x red and white gingham skirt (The Black Ribbon / Love You Beary Much) lolita fashion coord, edited onto a close up of the border print of the skirt--on red gingham, there is an off white banner of strawberry themed teddy bears enjoying a picnic. The rest of the coord has a cross stitched strawberry headdress, peeking white bloomers, white lace topped socks (OTKs worn as UTKs), and red tea parties. The right image has Poster wearing a red coat over the coord, and holding a white cat x strawberry tote bag with a fabric bow on top

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.

A dessert themed centaur girl in the style of a carousel. Color palette is red, pink, cream and gold, backed by a subtle mint-colored diamond pattern. The girl has blonde curly hair decorated with a piped cream headband, and strawberry horse ears. The figure and image are adorned with many opulent cream and strawberry swirls, simulating a combination of carnival & rococo styles.

A digital illustration of five cans conversation hearts. Not the really cruddy chalky ones but the better ones with nice raised lettering. They are in five different pastel colors (pink, green, yellow, purple, red) and have one word each on them reading ‘MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN 2DAY’

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."

That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Black History Is Star Trek 🖖🏿

Charles Washburn was one of the first Black second assistant directors in Hollywood, having apprenticed for the job in Star Trek’s second season before taking on the second assistant director role fully in its third.

The best part of this lie is that "computer" was a grunt-work position for women that involved hand-calculating a *lot* numbers. When computers became machines, women suddenly couldn't math because math jobs paid actual money. Weird how that happened.

Another fun wrinkle from that period (that might still exist): I was good at math and loved it and then my geometry teacher told me that I'd probably struggle because female brains were bad at spatial thinking. I kept loving math & being good at it but assumed that would end so I ended it first.

The thing about ebooks as a substitute is that it ignores two major needs of teen readers: autonomy (the ability to get a book without going through parents) and community (the ability to pass a book around to all their friends.)

I've said this before but I truly believe we could revitalize YA and kidlit overnight by switching to MMPB and paperback first. Kids want paperbacks! It is by far the biggest request I get from teen readers.

hello this is the official petition to bring back mass market paperbacks!! mmpbs are good actually and everyone should do them!! i think esp romantasy readers would really love that shit! and you can still spray those edges!!! bring back mass market paperbacks thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
