Can I just say that as someone who was raised in a firmly working class household by a blue collar parental team… so many people on this website who try to translate blue collar reality into their fantasy worldbuilding are literally insane

I also don’t think a majority of you know what the reality of farming actually is.

Like I get it! I get wanting to take these fun ideas and bend them into magical shapes! But the fact that most of the ~innovative magic~ doesn’t actually… solve a majority of the problems in either industry or agriculture is so telling. It’s not all about increasing productivity or shifting aesthetics! That’s not any different than what the current mode of industry is doing, it’s just doing it with the power of fairy dust instead of fossil fuels.

Magic is supposed to be a boon, but if you still have people hand milking cows who?? Is receiving the boon here?? Automated milking and pasteurisation spells please!! A quicker and less dangerous way, for both person and animal, to dock lambs than having to hold them under one arm and take a sharp knife to their tails with the other! Or even spells to remove the necessity of docking at all, if you insist it’s cruel and not good hygiene practice! A way to check eggs for blood in the yolk before cracking them both because yuck and because it’s prohibited in certain dietary practices! Venting mechanisms for industrial pipe work to prevent bursts! Safe disposal of waste!! WATER FILTRATION SYSTEMS IN URBAN CENTRES!! HOW INHUMANE TO NOT HAVE YOUR SEWAGE SYSTEM MANAGED BY MAGIC IF THAT IS WITHIN YOUR POWER!!

Also, there’s still so often the Mage In A Tower and then just some schlubs who can do magic or whatever, but listen: those schlubs would unionise, and a good union with magic would be REALLY something to see.

my cat is incredibly sweet and wants nothing more than to be within a 5 ft radius of a person at all times, gently chilling in your orbit.
he is also VERY, VERY DUMB 

it’s a slow morning so husband and I are reading, not making much noise. meanwhile, Barold goes downstairs to use his box and when he comes out, he starts yowling like his lil heart done broke. husband goes to to the top of the stairs all worried like, “Barold, what’s wrong?”

kitty zips back up the stairs and just oozes onto husband’s feet, purring high-powered lawnmower style. the realization hit us both at the same time…

this. boy. this itty bitty kitty boy. 

he couldn’t see or hear us for ten continuous seconds, forgot. we. were. home. and immediately burst into tears !!!!

I was just focusing on the fact that you named your cat Barold for the entirety of that post

I've seen a lot of autistics with a strong dislike of velvet so I want to know about you all. Reblog and put your opinions in the tags on: velvet, unglazed ceramic, and suede

gods I love velvet it's my perfect texture unglazed ceramic is okay but only cos I'm real used to it from pottery and it kinda feels like smooth rocks so it's not the worst in the world suede is like velvet. I just love to scrub my hands over it like brrrrrrrrr

Or, in a more generalized form, beware what thou do ironically, lest thou begin to do it ronically.

Started out as a bit, how did it end up like this

it was only a bit IT WAS ONLY A BIT

I started using 'my brother in Christ' and something about the irony of the phrase stuck and I hate that but I can't stop bc Comedy
