For any followers of mine still living with parents, guardians, family, or even just with roommates and who’ve never lived alone and/or fully on your own terms (whether ye be 16 or 60), I have TWO pieces of wisdom for you for when you eventually do:
You WILL discover that you were wrong about some shit you felt pretty strongly about before. Maybe you never realized how often your mom ACTUALLY cleans the bathroom and it turns out she asked for help really rarely. Maybe, much as it grates to admit, putting $50 into a different savings account every paycheck really IS the ONLY way to save any fucking money. Maybe that big rolling trashcan you resented your roommate putting in the kitchen, and got in that big fight about, really WAS super convenient and now you have to buy one for yourself after they move out and take it with them. Maybe blanching vegetables so they retain their color when cooked actually DOES enhance a meal, pretty food slaps actually, and the reason you didn’t think it was worth the effort is because you were depressed.
You WILL also discover new shit that works SO much better for you than everything you’d been taught. Maybe you’ll discover that dropping trash off at a recycling center at your convenience works way better for your brain than getting it picked up on a set day. Maybe you’ll realize you don’t actually hate tofu, you just hate how your family cooks tofu. Maybe you’ll love being able to walk around the house naked whenever you want. Maybe you’ll find you thrive in a space with giant framed nude photography, or taxidermy animals, or fandom themed Everything. Maybe you’ll realize that keeping the thermostat set like 5 degrees colder (or hotter) than is typical makes you sleep better than you ever have before in your whole life.
The point of this wisdom is: Stay humble, but also, stay excited. There’s no point pretending you weren’t wrong about shit you were wrong about, just eat the crow and move on. But also, there’s so much to look forward to about your own space– even more than you could ever imagine when you don’t have it yet.

All these billionaires who invested in the metaverce and Neuralink must be questioning their life choices looking at what what furries are doing in VR chat.
this is excellent proof of how cops train each other to think. merely wearing protection against possible cop violence IS an escalation in their view. like how dare you prepare for me to become unhinged, now my repeated violations of the geneva convention are your fault >:(
i’ve seen too many people arguing that marcille was already a full grown adult when she went to school at 35 despite literally all of the canon evidence indicating otherwise
in recent events of that zoo losing the clouded leopard, it reminded me of the time i went to a large petting zoo and there was a free roaming little black sheep. cutest little guy i ever saw, soi went to the zookeeper nearby and said ‘i think its really cute how you have a sheep thats allowed to just walk around. ‘ then the zookeepers eyes widened and he grabbed his walky talky and ran
TERFs on trans men having parties to celebrate getting top surgery:
Their entitlement to our bodies truly knows no bounds.
I really just cannot comprehend why. This goes beyond just a non-self-aware tit fetishist’s thoughts.
I had to cope with this somehow so I drew this.
I literally had to stop reading the TERF’s post at the line “your breasts were so young and healthy” as if breasts are a separate sentient entity from the human they are attached to and top surgery MURDERS them.
not to be crude but the people who think Laios is one of those fandom characters that doesnt know what sex is are completely missing like. his whole deal. you think the dude who obsessively studies monster anatomy and behaviors doesn’t know what sex is? you think he hasn’t memorized the mating rituals of every single goddamn beast under the sun? you think he doesn’t have an encyclopedic knowledge on how to fuck? thats his goddamn special interest brother. he knows sex better than anyone on the goddamn planet.
sorry if i am piggybacking on your post punkitt and making it too serious but i keep finding this to crop up as a trend where people in a fandom take a character and go “this character is so naive (and neurodivergent) that they can’t know what sex is!” and like. does this feel really infantalizing to anyone else? especially when the character is just an adult man. he’s 26 in a race that has an average lifespan of 60. he was almost married. he knows how living armor fucks. I don’t want to name examples or put anyone’s headcanons down but this has been weighing on me how fandom spaces treat autistic characters as sexless. it also plays into a lot of the harmful ideas that causes autistic people not having all the reproductive rights and access they should to act like they are unaware of the world. I don’t want to say this in a way that people can’t have ace headcanons but I want people to think what they are saying when they add these ideas onto characters with mental or physical disabilities and check they aren’t saying anything that comes off as insensitive (even if they don’t mean to do so).
no actually go off yeah. its weird as hell when people act like adult characters with neurodivergent tendencies are babies that need to be coddled for some reason. its like a complete misread of a character and a bizarre way of looking at other people.
that feeling you get when you see a popular post from pre-2013 tumblr and you go on their blog and see that op is still posting regularly……hotel california ass website genuinely

This is climate change at its finest. This will continue to happen due to climate change.
Long track tornadoes like this are not supposed to happen, let alone in December.
An out of season tornado that had several tornado emergency warnings out for it; something that has been issued less than 200 times by the NWS previous to 12/10/21; let alone a full outbreak in the middle of December.
This overtakes the Tri-State tornado of 1925 in both distance travelled and number of states covered. It has not been officially rated yet, but immediate speculations upon seeing the damage put it at EF4-EF5 in the worst hit areas.
The supercell thunderstorm this tornado was generated by lasted 11 hours.
the effects of this were made worse by capitalist efficiency and top-down control. Capitalism requires ecological destruction, resulting in destabilizing natural cycles. It also rewards maximum extraction of labor (having workers work as long as possible). It also gives an owner near total control of someone’s life.
This two pronged destruction resulted in an unnatural storm that workers were forced to stay in. Climate change is here and will worsen for lifetimes now, and capitalists will grow more powerful from forcing their workers to die through the disasters they caused. It must be restricted in any and all ways possible if people are going to survive the collapse capitalism has already caused.
this same heat system is now causing even more tornadoes, storms, and wind damage a few days later
Minneapolis should not be under a tornado watch in December. It’s not supposed to be almost 70 degrees in December. There’s no recorded tornado in the history of Minnesota, per NWS.
These storms are unusually destructive, happening horribly close together, and are way out of season. I’m feeling my home suffer.
Climate change will kill us if we allow capitalism to do so. We have no choice but to follow indigenous land stewardship and radically change our ways of life and social relations to survive the climate change european colonialism is causing.

i told my friend’s dad that he was hot (it was in context with the conversation, he was complaining that he was feeling old, etc), and he said a very genuine thank you and the conversation moved on to other topic, my friend was now talking about something else entirely when his dad goes

@post-uwuifer is maybe the funniest blog on the platform rn bc it’s obviously a bot 90% of the time and sometimes the owner logs in and responds to reblogs manually, but if you suspend your disbelief just enough it leads to the much funnier conclusion that it’s a bot 100% of the time and its responses are evidence that the algorithm has gained sentience but can only communicate through uwuified tumblr posts
I hate to wuin da fun but uh
it’s aww 100% manuaw💀
tanks fow da pwaise tho UwU
I am sorry but this being completely manual is like 1000x scarier than it being a 100% bot.
having friends is so cool like here’s a person i love soooo much and i get to make inside jokes w them and make them laugh and be there for them when they’re sad and share in their suffering as well as their joy. what a beautiful and sacred thing. friendship is holy
I thought I’d just post two sweet and similar polar flags and be done with it, but the history of Antarctic flags is very complicated, because it was subject to so many territorial claims before the international treaty that guarantees it remains a peaceful non-state, and the difference between the previous proposals and the True South flag proposal [top] is that it’s angling to be the flag of the people who live in Antarctica now. The flag of Greenland, meanwhile [above], is the flag of indigenous people trying to assert their distinct identity from the country that colonized them.
listen, I don’t mind answering questions about my gender presentation or whatever but also I’m very *exhausted* trying to explain how it works sometimes when it’s not really that complicated? like I’m just a fem trans guy with tits because it doesn’t give me gender dysphoria, whereas I get dysphoric from other things. that’s rly it.
Stuff like this radicalizes me. How is this the best system we have?
Could you imagine how fucking awesome food service would be if your annual salary was $162,000 a year? And you’re just making pizzas and shit?
The worst part about working food service was the pay, I actually didn’t hate it that much and slinging out food that I knew actually tasted good gave me a sense of pride I don’t get in my job now. It was just not worth it for what I took home every week.
[ID: the top of a news article. The subject is “climate change.” The headline says, “Indians may already be experiencing temperatures close to limits of human survivability without even being aware.” The body text says, “The basic criteria for IMD to declare a heatwave currently does not include take into account relative humidity, which is increasingly becoming a cause of humid heatwaves.” End ID.]
No, your oc isn’t too cringe or a Mary sue. Yes, it’s completely fine that it looks similar to your other ocs. Yes it’s completely fine that it looks similar to a Canon character design. No it’s not uncreative. No the design isn’t shitty. No the backstory doesn’t have to make perfect sense or be all figured out. Yes it can be self indulgent or unrealistic or overly sappy. No you don’t draw your favorite character too much. Yes you can flip flop between developing whatever characters you want. No you don’t have to keep the parts of your character that you don’t like or that make you uncomfortable just for the sake of consistency, realism or whatever else
Loving the new counterpoint that not only is posting activism, not posting is complicity. Why doesn’t everyone with any fame or internet presence immediately release a lengthy but perfectly-worded statement telling us where they stand on every issue? Is it because they’re evil??? It must be because they’re evil
And then the usual answer is “they don’t post online very much”. Which is all very suspicious, don’t they know everything of importance is done by posts on social media now
Okay I’m going to talk about this for the last time bc currently the stupidest manifestation of this I’ve ever seen is unfolding, and nothing can top it or explain this phenomenon better
So Amal Clooney was one of the lawyers who advised the ICC to charge Netanyahu with war crimes & issue an arrest warrant. But apparently there was already a backlash over her “not speaking up” which is already dumb, like, as far as I can tell she has no social media, but also she’s a lawyer, she can’t comment freely on cases, that could literally destroy the case
But she was trending bc people were saying she should be forgiven, for not posting. But also there are people adamant she not be forgiven. Because she should have spoken up sooner. Helping charge Benjamin Netanyahu with crimes against humanity is not good enough, she should have been posting, she needs to be held accountable for her lack of posting while she was, again, serving as a legal advisor on a international humans rights case against Benjamin Netanyahu.
Like when you’re at the stage where people ask where a celebrity was, and the answer is “helping arrange an arrest warrant for Netanyahu”, and your response is “why was she doing that instead of posting online” I really just have to conclude you think posting online is more important than anything else. Also that your online activism revolves around finding righteous ways to dislike celebrities you have entrenched parasocial relationships with that you rationalize by going “well I obsessively hate them so it’s okay”. But mostly the Posting Is More Important Than War Crimes Tribunals part
