Found something funny🔊
I’m prototyping a mechanical paper bird wing :)
Everything is made of paper, no glue or tape or any other material. There are still lots of imperfections that I need to fix but it’s looking not bad so far :D

In the club
I think I’m literally never gonna be sick of this masterpiece. I think watching it on a loop for eight hours could fix me. Dancing’s what clears my soul. Dancing’s what makes me whole.
I just love that this very video is an accumulation of thousands of years worth of art made by people who have never met each other. The concept of this video was so completely unfathomable to every single artist who made the sculptures and yet they’ve all put something toward the creation of it.

THE BEGINNINGS OF KAWAII
No, no, you have no idea. It actually IS the beginning of the whole so-called “kawaii culture”. And it started because girls started using mechanical pencils, which provided fine handwriting. After being banished (more precisely, during the 80s), this kind of writing started being used in products like magazines and make-up. And, during this time, icons we usually associate with the whole kawaii industry (like the characters from Sanrio) came to life too.
And what many people don’t realize is that this subculture was born as a way for young girls to express themselves in their own way. And it was also used as something against the adult life and the traditional culture, often seen as dull and boring and oppressive. By embracing cuteness, these young girls (and adult women, after a while) were showing non-conformation with the current standards.
So yep. Kawaii is important, and it all started with cute, simple handwritting a few hearts and cat faces in some girls’ school notebooks <3
!!!!!
NO OK THIS IS SO IMPORTANT!
This is also how the kawaii fashions started! Girls began dressing in cute and off beat styles for themsleves, they were criticized by adult figures telling them “you’ll never find a husband if you dress that way!” to which they began to reply “Good!”
All the japanese subcultures and fashions that evolved out of this became a rebellion to tradition and the starch gender roles and expectations the adults were forcing on the younger generations. As early as the 70s and still to this day you’ll see an emphasis on child-like fashion and themes in more kawaii styles and the dismissal of the male gaze with styles like lolita (a lot of western people assume lolita is somehow sexual due to the name of the fashion, but ask any japanese lolita and they will tell you that men hate the style and find it unattractive which is sometimes a large reason they gravitate towards the style - they can express their femininity and individuality while remaining independent and without the pressure to appeal to men)
Its so so so important to understand the hyper cute and ‘odd’ fashions of Japanese girls carry such a huge message of feminism and reclaiming of their own lives.
so are you telling me that Japan’s punk phase was really the kawaii phase
Yep. Kawaii has a lot in common with punk when you think about it. Fun quirk in cultures.
I ran into a college friend and he was like “holy shit Jess you look terrible??” And like god he’s right though my hair is at that length where it just always looks greasy and disgusting and I’m sleep deprived and covered in cuts on my hands and arms from working mechanical to the point where it looks like I was attacked and I’ve been on a fuckin bender for, like, a month dude I’m a piece of shit right now
self-care is slathering yourself in baby oil and sliding down the 7th lane in your local bowling alley so the mechanical pin setter will pick you up and take you to the forbidden place behind the bowling lanes where you can meet God but only on tuesdays

HAHAHA
sweet summer child next year u will do mathematical physics
rip in piss
actually content-wise mechanics is p awful becaUASE IM SICK OF KINEMATICS. IF I SEE A FORCE DIAGRAM AGAIN IM GONNA PUKE
but at my uni mathematical is.. the hell class. there is no grades. only pop exams. the final is an oral exam. worth 40% of ur grade. pass/fail taylor series. its a nightmare. so many tears. so many mental breakdowns.
not to be dramatic but i would die for this cat
UNMUTE THIS, I BEG YOU
[Transcript:]
Cat: Arr-rar! (weird chirp noise)
Cat: [weird mechanical-sounding hiss]
Cat, while licking finger, in a very gravelly voice: Ah mlem-a-mlem-a-mlem-mlem-a-mlem-a-mlem… mrowr rowrrr…
Person holding camera: I love you.
Cat: [hisses]
its practically fall weather outside and ive had my windows open and i can hear my neighbors working in the barn across the street and there’s like a bunch of welding and loud mechanical sounds like they have GOT to be building a transformer in there
