I realize it's better for those clothes to not go to the landfill BUT I am still unfairly annoyed when a "vintage" clothing store has new-ish fast fashion shit liike what am I paying a premium for used clothing here for then. However the skirt I bought today does not have that issue

Summary:
"Did she rape you?" Armand asks.

The carpet fibres are scratchier than he'd like against his back. Lestat opens his mouth. No, he is going to say. She made me have sex with her, but it wasn't like that. I wanted to. She was my Queen. I would have even if I'd had a choice.

well now I don't know that I'd use the word "obliged"

Released from the army, tired out by life in barracks, craving the privacy and personal freedom he had been deprived of for three years, he took a casual job as a violinist in a low café-chantant, but he found the experience hardly more inspiring than army life; it, too, seemed deadening, decadent and sexually disquieting. From the orchestra pit, the musicians were obliged to spend the night looking straight up the skirts of the chanteuse; Vlaminck would then have to watch her, 'wrapped in an expensive fur, going off on the arm of a lucky escort, oblivious of the desire she had distilled in me. It was a nocturnal existence which, he considered, could easily have sent him off the rails.

thinking about that having just reread the last paragraph I wrote. to express my love

The noise Armand makes might be a sob, or a laugh, or maybe just the air punched out of him as Louis starts fucking the bloody cavity between his legs in earnest, doesn't matter. Louis is fucking Armand again and this was always their problem, how easy it is, how little discussion they have ever needed to get exactly what they wanted from each other. It's not a good thing. Louis had slept in Lestat's guest room, in his stupid guest coffin, for weeks, because he was scared of messing it up, because he was scared of them getting their clothes off and not knowing how to treat each other, or not knowing how to treat each other *well*, not knowing how to translate so much feeling into movement. And then here's Armand, stupid crazy Armand with his machete and Louis' hair clippers, stupid crazy Louis with every book in the world having narrowed down to just the one that matters, and somehow it is easy for them. Not because they know how to treat each other well but because they don't. They have never bothered trying to figure it out.

this is such a completely whacko insane thing to write about the youth of San Francisco in 1988 that I keep trying to puzzle out if there's some hidden meaning you're supposed to be getting but well. I don't know. I just don't know you guys

But the mortals, how pretty they were, glistering with health, their pockets full of gold, sound bodies everywhere, in which no organ had been eaten by the worms of disease, no bone ever broken.
In fact the sanitized well-being of this entire city rather amazed Khayman. True, he'd seen wealth in Europe such as he could never have imagined, but nothing equaled the flawless surface of this small and over-populated place, even to the San Francisco peasantry, whose tiny stucco cottages were choked with luxuries of every description.

There was a vast difference in both the number of volunteers and the psychological approach between the male and female test groups. 134 men participated, who were competitive and could be encouraged into performing better than their own previous test. Only 28 women unenthusiastically took part.

Sixty-cycle let-go currents were tested
on 28 women. The subjects ranged in
age from the late 'teens to the early 20*s,
They were light in stature and obviously
not accustomed to hard physical work,
and their forearm muscles were not particularly well developed. Although the
women volimteered freely for the test, it
proved impossible to develop enthusiasm
or any degree of competitive spirit at the
higher currents. The results are probably representative for the sedentary
type; however, from observation of the
reactions of the subjects having the
greatest muscular development, it is
likely that the values were somewhat lower than those which would have been
obtained had a group of women accustomed to physical labor been used. Results based on these data, therefore,
should be conservative and on the side of
safety. These data constitute the available let-go data on women.

The study that established how much electric current people can experience before they lose the ability to let go was done by Charles Dalziel, inventor of the GFCI, in 1956. It was tested exactly how you think: challenge someone to let go of a wire, crank up the current until they can't.

A photo titled "Subject in process of determining his let-go current and voltage" In it, four men cluster around a table with some wires hanging off it. Two of them are focused on their instruments, and two of them are grinning at one man's hand on the wire.

...and here's the rest of it. Honestly it probably could have been a one-shot I just really wanted to give Louis a moment to let it ring archiveofourown.org/works/90655696/…

Louis rubs his leg, just above where the prosthetic takes over for the missing flesh. It looks like it's hurting him. "How's your fledgling?" he asks.

"I saw his head separate from his body," says Armand.

Louis shrugs. "Saw mine, too."

"Yes. And so, the fact that I saw it happen is the only sure news of him that I can give you. And your…" for some reason, the only word he can think of is boytoy, so he says it. It is an odd relief, to talk to Louis without worrying about accidentally saying something destabilizing, something that could endanger the fragile peace between them. The worst has happened. Louis had shattered that peace, and then Armand picked the pieces of it back up and stomped on them. The fine dust underfoot is easy to walk on.

A firm finger over his lips. "Whatever you think you want to say, I promise you, you do not."

Armand swallows. Louis is probably right. Louis is usually right about these things; more often than Armand, anyway. The finger on his lips is warm, well-fed, compared to his own freezing corpse. *If I want to apologize?* he thinks.

"If you try to *apologize* to me again, Armand," says Louis, "I will sew your lips together with fishing twine and leave you to starve."

WELL I was going to say 'this is a concerning thing for a medical doctor to be confused about" but it seems like the confusion may in fact be BECAUSE he's a doctor. RIP

In microbiology, the rapidly growing exponential growth phase of a cell culture is sometimes called logarithmic growth. During this bacterial growth phase, the number of new cells appearing is proportional to the population. This terminological confusion between logarithmic growth and exponential growth may be explained by the fact that exponential growth curves may be straightened by plotting them using a logarithmic scale for the growth axis.[7]

I am used to seeing exponential growth used colloquially in mystifying ways but "grown logarithmically" is a new one to me. unless he is trying to say that the paper pile growth was really not too bad at all. But I don't think that was the intention

I followed Mickie into the house. She moved even more slowly than before, leaning heavily on the walker.

filthy friday loumand snippet I'm probably never finishing because it's years old and idk where it was going but hey. you never know

”It doesn’t hurt you too much, huh?” Louis says one night, snuggling up behind Armand, clothes still half-on, the night’s young, nowhere to be, for him at least. He doesn’t really give a shit about Armand’s curfew. Seems like more and more, Armand doesn’t give a shit about his curfew either.

It’s mostly idle speculation. They’ve established pretty solidly by now that Armand likes to be hurt, wouldn’t mind if Louis came up with new ways to do it. But he likes to be a little pathetic when he’s in pain, big eyes, little sobs. Louis likes it, it’s cute, but it’s not exactly subtle. So he’s pretty sure he’d notice if it hurt Armand to have Louis’ member pushed into him. He’s pretty sure it doesn’t.

“Hmm?” Armand is not really listening. He’s twisting himself around, twining their necks together in some strange contorted way that lets them feel each other pulse to pulse.

“Me fucking you. It doesn’t hurt at all?”

“No,” Armand says breathily. “You can try to make it hurt more, if you like?”

Louis snorts. “No,” he says. “Well— alright, but I was just thinking. The times I did that side of things. Always hurt, couldn’t do it without a bite to get me a bit out of it.”

Those big gaslamp eyes. ”If you consistently experience pain upon penetration,” Armand says seriously, “there are likely psychological factors at play.”

“Uh-huh,” says Louis. “Whereas you have no psychological factors. At all.”

OH just realized I first encountered this in french translation in a song. and just discovered where it's actually from (gibran's the prophet)

ND a woman who held a babe against her
A bosom said, Speak to us of Children.
And he said:
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you, but not from you, And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love, but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies, but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomor-row, which you cannot visit - not even in your dreams.

You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you,
For life goes not backwards, nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness,
For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.
