roxanneritchi: nextian replied to your post: i know tumblr thinks kanye west’s love for himself… topical true story: i lost my phone last night, and today, in the well of my total self-loathing, i found Kanye doing a (terrible) cover of “I’ll Fly Away” and it honestly made me feel better. Fuck this… Agh, jeez, thank you so much. You actually probably DO know how great it was to hear...

urbananchorite asked: "Cruellest Bar" total fanon and from my feverish brain, I'm afraid, I first used it in "If Food Be" and it escaped from there. I sort of wish I'd thought up something else; it's a bit pedestrian!

odditycollector asked: OTOH when Rose learns of this Alternian proclivity she leaves excessively intricate and personalized gifts hidden in treasure chests made of like actual treasure If anyone other than Kanaya gets to them or if Kanaya does not keep them Rose gets especially smug by which I of course mean offended One time Karkat found a scarf knit with the pattern of a villanelle on the subject of how good Kanaya is...

This is Hafiz translated by Elizabeth T. Gray, whose translations I haven’t found faulted for anything but a lack of lyricism! There are apparently a ton of Hafiz translations that I obvs can’t judge, I’m just using this one because it was one people kept referring to as pedestrian and literal (which I think is a p good antidote to Ladinsky.) GHAZAL [Hijab-i chehr-i jan...

A Great Need
crashinglybeautiful: Out Of a great need We are all holding hands And climbing. Not loving is a letting go. Listen, The terrain around here Is Far too Dangerous For That. —Hafiz (c. 1320 to 1389), translated by Daniel Ladinsky This ain’t Hafiz. My Persian is nonexistent, but this is not a controversial claim: see here (apparently quoting this review) or here, or the Amazon review page....

biichama replied to your post: Does anyone know where in Homestuck the phrase… I think it comes from when Terezi is fooling around in her treehouse, playing legislacerator with her scalemates. Nope, that’s what I assumed at first but no hits for b4r or bar in all of Act 5 that are remotely relevant. I think it must be in one of the walkarounds.

magpieandwhale replied to your post: Does anyone know where in Homestuck the phrase… It’s not before Act 5, because I just finished Act 4 last night and didn’t see it. *eyedarts* HAHAHAHA. Another one falls!! Brace yourself, by the way: the first half of Act 5 is entirely tangential to the plot thus far (though an integral part of the plot going forward.) I love your WV suddenly revealed...

So let’s talk about the Alinea Project. For those of you who don’t accidentally stumble across interviews with the creators of food blogs while looking up the twitter account of a food truck on the SFWeekly website—I am including this humiliating introduction to make it clear that I am complicit in everything I describe here—the Alinea Project is this guy Allen Hemberger,...

sqbr: “Call out culture, a phenomenon that casual readers might not even notice, is to me, the most toxic aspect of blogging. Not because it is set to correct wrongs and engage in meaningful ways to actually enact change. No, call out culture is toxic because it has developed as a tool to legitimize aggression and rhetoric violence. Its intent, at the root, is seemingly positive. Constructive...
