lewis : "how many questions are you having?"

"normally id ask all these things but we only get one question so i need to ask all of them at the same time."

lewis : "so which one is your question" 😭😭

"they're all my question"

lewis : "HE'S GOING RED BTW" 😭

the way I’m getting all of these Black Friday emails that are like ‘this is The Biggest Deal Ever to exist” and then it turns out it’s a 20% off sale lol womp womp

IMO, when asking why something is the way it is, we shouldn't just fall back on easy answers like "culture" or the "character of the people." Such answers are often just the first go-to when someone doesn't know very much about a subject. Culture variables also don't explain change.

An traditional Japanese woodblock print of an actor. The actor is wearing traditional Japanese clothing.

Any time someone tries to explain social outcomes, the easy answer is "culture." That's because anything can be explained by culture (e.g., "oh that's just the way those people are; it's their culture"). When discussing Asia, sometimes this can get into weird orientalism.

Saagar Enjeti tweets: "Probably a cold take but IMO Tokyo is the male fashion capital of the world: whether it’s western wear, suits, street wear the aesthetic is refined to the highest possible level From the salaryman to the rebel teen they are impeccably dressed It also helps no one is fat"

Why is Tokyo so fashionable? Some theories. 🧵

Library Extension (for web browsers) Library Extension lets you instantly see book and eBook availability from your local library

Everyone should get a library card if you don't already have one! It's more important than ever to support public libraries. This is an extension that tells you if the book you are looking up on Amazon or Goodreads is in your library (and if it is available).

there’s not one but two little kids !! 🥹

been having the itch to cut my hair shorter for the past month and found these selfies from earlier in the year…. my hair rly looks great in these pics lol I need to go back to shorter hair soon

a bop

but I need to redownload and reinstall all of my mods first so 😵‍💫

anyways lol I randomly stumbled onto a YouTuber doing a play though of stardew valley for the first time and now I want to play it…..

but emotional attachment to something or someone you don’t know (aka being parasocial) is literally what makes a fan a fan lol. Like literally every single person who is a fan of someone that they don’t know personally is being parasocial to some degree..

idk I feel like ppl who preach about fans being parasocial have some kind of weird superiority complex and just throw that term around to blame fans (aka girls/women) when they acting up and I’m just 🙄 lol. Like sure ppl act weird a lot of the times and too much emotional attachment isn’t good

it’s so funny to me that the word “parasocial” is being thrown around again in fandom spaces (f1 specifically but I’ve also seen it on kpop reddit) bc I distinctly remember seeing the exact same talking points over 10 years ago…. time rly is a circle

man I rly need to go to the beach at sunset more often
