note to self: do NOT double the chocolate chip cookie recipe. the mixer can’t handle it. I can’t handle it. my knees hurt. I’ve been rotating cookie sheets since I was born and I will be rotating cookie sheets until I die
Dr Jamal Naim, one of the pillars of dentistry in Gaza survived an airstrike by the #IOF while asleep at his house but his daughter and 9-mo old granddaughter did not! He holds her and says: “What did she do to get killed?” 💔

you ever think about how in portal 2, and only in the single player campaign, the light bridges will start playing cara mia addio if the player lingers long enough. how the companion cube in chamber 7, when crouching, plays a remix of cara mia titled love as a construct? how the facility herself is brimming with a repressed, subconscious love she refuses to acknowledge and accept until the very end, when saying goodbye? do you ever think about it.
I hate how people will look at popular indie artists who had one or two songs go viral on TikTok and start making fun of anybody who listens to them. “Oh you listen to Lemon Demon, Will Wood, Jack Stauber, Glass Animals, and Mother Mother? Tsk, don’t you know that is stupid TikTok neurodivergent white transmasc preteen music? It’s so mid and bad you should listen to real music–” you are a pit of misery
People can’t just say “I don’t like this music” anymore they gotta call you gay and autistic for listening to a band that had one song go viral
I love the Original Flavor Vader. Like, subsequent stuff made him ridiculous by giving him a backstory and world building and shit and I love it, but just imagine
He’s the Emperor’s goth Space Rasputin who you all have to let hang around, even though he’s really killing the vibe, has absolutely no real authority over any of you (Tarkin is the one giving the orders!), and likes to spew vague threatening mantras while you try to strategize and shit. None of you know where he comes from, Darth may or may not be his real name, and that religion he likes to lecture you about is Extremely Illegal
So one day you tell him his esoteric dying faith–that, like, two old men and a twink from Desert Bumblefuck still take seriously–is old, weird, and not as powerful as your fash wetdream planet-destroying laser–and also kinda useless, dude, it hasn’t exactly fixed that Rebel Problem you have going on
Unfortunately, he is also a seven-foot-tall laser-sword-wielding robot wizard of death, so in response to this, he gets mad and chokes you out with his mind
Your other boss (Tarkin, is Probably In Charge) treats this like it’s normal and tells both of you to play nice while you make sure your trachea is intact and The Magic Death Cyborg sulks in the corner because he wasn’t allowed to murder the non-believer
What the Heck is a mushroom?Well let me tell you… its like a plant… but stop right there…Its not a plant… its nota planet and not an animal.. Its something else… Something fucked up that we havnt ever seen before… You can eat it on a steak but its not an animal or a plant… So what is a mushrom? Its a fungits
this is what happens when you make suffering a cornerstone of your self-image. on the same wavelength as people who jump down the throats of depressed people giving advice to other depressed people on how not to be 100% miserable constantly because “we cant all be neurotypical KAREN”
something something if we always define transgenderism by how much we’ve suffered, the community will never be able to envision and work for a future that involves joy and acceptance.
This is why making how much oppression we experience a badge of pride and creating oppression hierarchies in our communities and progressive spaces is Not Good actually. Especially since people don’t exist as a single identity or experience. Even putting aside the fact that said theoretical trans person mentioned in the screenshot does still experience transphobia, what if that person complaining shares *gasp* more than just one identity with the trans person they’re complaining about? And what if that hypothetical trans person has suffered in ways that don’t get slapped with the forced binary of “victim or oppressor”? Is stuff like a car accident, child abuse, abandonment, loved ones dying, developing a terminal illness, etc. necessarily always tied to oppression?
People don’t just exist as the one identity or experience you can use to put yourself above them.
Identities and experiences don’t “cancel out.” Being a man doesn’t nullify your transness. Being white doesn’t cancel out your disability.
And frankly, a person’s worth should never be based on how much that person has suffered. Because not only should we not have to justify our existences that way like some fucked up “submit your suffering for peer review and approval” system, we also have inherent worth as human beings. I don’t believe that oppression hierarchies forced in progressive circles take away the fact that I and the people I meet are all human beings.
kids transitioning as soon as they need to, with loving family support, is the GOAL of queer rights and queer respect. id rather hang out with a hundred cis allies than one vicious, bitter trans guy who feels justified in punishing kids for inheriting our hard work to make the world better.
Too tired to draw but I still need everyone to be aware of this bizarre interaction I had at work this morning
Worth mentioning is that I’m in Iceland and the store I work at only accepts icelandic króna so like even euros wouldn’t have worked in this case
On the one hand I refuse to defend Americans and this behavior is kind of embarrassing but on the other hand dumbasses enraging Europeans by not caring even a little bit about their funny little currencies is absolutely hilarious so I’m conflicted here
I think I’ve decided it’s time to topple the dollar as a world standard
I propose we switch to Chilean Peso
I think we should go back to harvesting seashells
I can’t do this anymore I am seriously at my limit here
Idk I’m in full support of forcing the English to accept my green construction paper
Could you do me a quick favour and point out where England is on this map?
I abbreviate “Beetlejuice” to “BJ” with my one friend whose special interest is Beetlejuice and it’s fine, it’s protocol, it’s a Tuesday afternoon, but I just did it with another friend via the sentence, “I don’t even like BJ that much. I just wanna see that worm,” and it was a little less than fine, I think.
