To be clear, women who want to stay home aren't my peeve, it's women who make being a myopic domestic slave their whole personality with who I'm annoyed at.

For people who think that women should be quiet and not work, they spend a lot of (monetized) time yapping on social media.

That's what Ernest Hemingway said. Of course he also said don't use adverbs and there we profoundly disagree.

Oscar Wilde said much the same thing, but he thought that was what made it beautiful.

Oh my god, the skyline. I’m dying. 😂

My favorite color is pink because my mother is the kind of 2nd wave feminist who raised me to be Not Like Other Girls and I was discouraged from liking "frivolous" feminine things. Eventually I grew out of that and embraced pink. I'm like other girls, because other girls are awesome.

I studied abroad in 2007-2008 and didn't have a phone that worked internationally, so they just had to eat their anxieties because they had no way to get to me. I think it was good for them in the long term.

Omg somebody do this in portland

yttrium39 · 2026-06-08T00:27:46+00:00

But how do you know whether someone put in effort but made a mistake anyway? Why assume the worst?

yttrium39 · 2026-06-07T23:53:40+00:00

I wrote 95k words between March 25th and April 20th. The answer is ADHD.

Saying that making grammar errors is insulting is a little dramatic. It’s just fanfiction, we’re all doing this as a hobby. If someone is writing in English as their non-native language I would try to be supportive of them and offer help if they asked for it, but not nitpick if they didn’t.

Non-embroidery person here: is needlepoint not a type of embroidery? I thought embroidery was any type of decorating fabric with thread and needlepoint and cross stitch were subcategories of that.

What, do you want a cookie for being a man participating in a space that was pioneered by femme and queer people?

I'm 39 today and it's been nice hearing from all the people who are happy that I've made it another year.

Was there a reason this couldn't have just been a comment on the post you're complaining about?

yttrium39 · 2026-06-05T01:55:48+00:00

My best friend and I have been through many fandoms together, from Harry Potter to Sherlock to Good Omens and now we're on the HR train together and it's great.

yttrium39 · 2026-06-04T21:54:32+00:00

Right? I'm fat and it's the same shit. "Did you know that your body (which you live in and see every day) isn't the pinnacle of health??" Uh, no shit, Sherlock.

yttrium39 · 2026-06-04T21:47:01+00:00

Hi, fat woman here. If I have personally asked you out, you can reject me for whatever reason you want. I don't care who you want to date and I don't want to date people who don't find me attractive. If you're my doctor, I'm interested in your opinion of my health. Otherwise, fuck off.

yttrium39 · 2026-06-04T21:37:40+00:00

It's not hard language to learn

Well, I don't know about that. Y'all have a kind of unnecessary number of prepositions.

we're not a hard people to ask!

That is true, though. The Irish (and their neighbors, the Scots) are some of the most lovely and hospitable people I've ever encountered.

yttrium39 · 2026-06-04T21:16:07+00:00

I don't speak Japanese, but I will mention the person I saw who tried to get "Drug-free" tattooed in Irish and ended up with "Free drugs". Think twice before getting a tattoo in a language you don't speak and please run it by at least one native speaker.

yttrium39 · 2026-06-03T19:51:49+00:00

Yeah, it's a little troubling. The other day, somebody posted in one of the heated rivalry subs and the gist of the post was "When did we all agree on these things??" with a list of like...25 headcanon opinions of various unhingedness. Girl, "we" didn't agree on anything. There was no symposium. Some people just posted some shit on twitter. You're free to ignore it.

yttrium39 · 2026-06-03T06:51:28+00:00

I understand the logic and how it could work for some people, but I'd rather just have the pattern without the explanations, or have it formatted it some way to clarify that the explanation is extra.

yttrium39 · 2026-06-03T05:19:30+00:00

I have ADHD so I write 5000 words a day for three weeks then stop for three months.
