[ID: Three panel comic with crudely drawn stick people.
Panel 1: A grayscale stick person wearing an oversized t-shirt featuring a flag with red, green, blue and black stripes is looking down and talking.
Pseudoally: “I want you all to know that you are still valid in the confinement pit. You have my support. I will write strongly worded letters about the need for air conditioning in the pit.”
From the pit: “There’s a ladder right next to you!”
Panel 2: The view switches to showing the pit from above, ladder and all. The pit contains a variety of chromatic people, including a small one with a mint green propeller hat and one with animal ears.
Pseudoally: “Look, I know it looks simple for me to just take this ladder and pass it down into the pit. But there are procedures here.”
An orange square-headed person: “It is simple!”
Pseudoally: “No because you see, ladder allocation has to be done through the system. Properly.”
A dark blue person with lime green legs: “They dug the pit without even caring about the system!”
Panel 3: The pseudoally pontificates from on high while the orange person watches in the foreground. A moss green person wearing a bandana and a pink person with a light blue jacket and bright orange, triangular anime glasses are passing a ladder down into the pit.
Pseudoally: “Look, I really wish there was something I could do but- hey what are you doing?”
Moss Green: “Helping.”
Pseudoally: “I don’t think extreme methods like this are good for the movement!”
Anime Glasses: “We don’t give a shit. Step aside.”
i hate when people are like “i really understand what it’s like to be Prey… to look up into the jaws of a predator and know it’s my purpose to be Consumed…” like bitch no, prey runs away, you’re some other shit
I firmly believe that my (Chinese) mom is more Italian than my (Italian) dad. She earned multiple advanced degree in Italian history and studied abroad to learn how to speak the language fluently. She fought for it. The hell did he ever do? He grew up eating slightly more pasta than other kids in the United States. He was born into it. Fucking nepo Italian
I love using “by the way” as a segue into topics that are completely unrelated to the matters at hand. it isn’t remotely by the way, quite a ways out of the way in fact. a little adventure
i’ve seen quite a bit of confusion about this, so let me attempt to clear things up :
empathy is the ability to feel somebody’s emotions as though they are affecting you personally. for example, somebody tells you “my dog died last night!” -> you now feel as though you’ve lost a pet personally -> you feel grief and sadness just like the other person. not everyone has empathy. it’s a trait some people develop and others don’t. some have high empathy, some have low empathy, some (like me) have none.
sympathy is the ability to understand and care about somebody else’s struggles, even if you don’t feel them yourself. so, somebody tells you their dog died -> you realize how this affects them emotionally -> you care about this person, and are upset that they are suffering. not everyone has sympathy either! it’s a scale, just like empathy.
compassion is doing something to relieve another person’s suffering or make them feel better. somebody tells you their dog died -> you don’t want them to remain upset -> you come up with ways to help them feel better, like offering comfort and distractions, or other forms of support. compassion is a learned trait, not something you can be born with like empathy or sympathy. anyone can learn to be compassionate, although some may struggle more with it than others; it’s a skill, just like anything else.
however, none of these are required to be a good person. that’s a choice you make on your own accord. i hope this clears things up!

[ID: Three panel comic with crudely drawn stick people. A character whose rambles are presented in smaller text will have their dialogue shown after the navigation links, and can be skipped.
Panel 1: A blue person with a dark green jacket and bright orange anime glasses is talking to a journalist, while a person wearing a large t-shirt with the text “c m y k” and a pair of scissors cutting off the k rambles behind the journalist.
Journalist: “Hey we need to show both sides on the confinement pits for chromatics issue, come debate this person?”
Anime Glasses: “Go fuck yourself.”
Panel 2: As the background character keeps rambling, the journalist condescends.
Journalist: “You know, I really don’t appreciate your tone here.”
Anime Glasses: “Less yapping, more fucking yourself.”
Panel 3: Anime glasses holds the journalist’s shoulder. There is still rambling on the side.
Journalist: “How do you expect to be taken serio-”
Anime Glasses: “You’re enabling someone who’d never be taken seriously without you. I am not cleaning up your mess. Go fuck yourself.”
Panel 1: firstly it is necessary to understand that the perverse urge to become green is a deviation that has been planted in our youth by the shadow druids, an evil organization that has been pulling the strings of our society to their nefarious ends since the invasion of-
Panel 2: the ultimate goal of the chroma cult remains aligned with the shadow druids: as worshippers of the armageddon beast they intend to saturate our children and grind them into colorful paste to paint their profane idols! they believe these idols will protect them when facing the beast but they are wrong, so entirely wrong, about many things, unlike me, i am right for i am guided by the light of facts, logic, basic biology and fundamental color theory, and common sense and also-
panel 3: -moon gnomes with their evil magics [spelled as “majicks”] hiding their pigments that they make from socks they steal from me, personally, that is where my socks go, and chromatics have never once taken responsiblity!
With the two having no contact with the outside world for decades, the idea of taking care of a kitten, much more their master, would be more than enough to make them panic 🙉
I can see the twins being a horrible babysitter so they run to Forneus for help <//33 (They totally love cooing Kittyrinder though)

It often feels like mainstream acceptance of queer people, particularly trans and nonbinary people, is contingent on there being few of us. When I was a kid witnessing arguments about gay marriage, statistics about LGBTQ people were so often presented in such a way as to reassure everyone else that we are not dangerous because we are rare. “It’s not going to cause societal collapse … because such a small percentage of people are gay.”
And conservative rhetoric against queer people, particularly trans people, which explicitly refers to us as a “social contagion,” really underscores that any perceived “increase” in sexual or gender diversity will be seen as a threat. If queer people are permitted to exist, we must be aberrant and isolated. If we are normal and natural and commonly occurring, it is because something has gone terribly wrong.
So. Forgive me if I bristle at the well-meaning argument that “these trans athlete bans are ridiculous, they’re only going to affect a few dozen people!” I understand where they’re coming from. But I think trans people should be free and abundant.
Do cishet people NOT understand that Portal 2 is a lesbian love story?
Your toxic ex tries to get her way back into your life. A twink friend of yours convinces you she’s evil and incapable of change, and drives a wedge between you. You run into her at a random place later on, and realize she’s not so bad after all, and together you solve the problem of this evil twink friend ruining both of your lives. Through this, you have an intense and fleeting romance that reminds you of the good old days. But, in the end, you acknowledge that you’re better off separated from each other- the problems that drove you apart initially are still there, but dealing with a mutual problem made you temporarily believe that the romance wasn’t dead. So, you break up on mutual terms, but not before she composes A FUCKING ARIA WITH A CHOREOGRAPHED CHOIR to bid you adieu
Oh, and along the way the twink basically confirms she was orgasming every time she flirted with you
That is NOT heterosexual behavior
I fucking stg I’ve seen this exact thing play out in college queer clubs
God, not to mention the deleted bratty degradation voice lines
Someone on Facebook Marketplace is asking questions about my queen Tempurpedic that I’ve listed for sale. Not to buy it, but about bed longevity and protectors as they just bought the same bed.
There’s two wolves inside me. The first is slightly indignant as they’re not gonna buy my listing but they’re asking questions and the second is incapable of hearing questions and not answering.

something about you being a map of everyone youve loved but instead its your artstyle being a map of everything youve loved and every artist youved ever wanted to draw like
every ad is a personal insult to everyone who sees it and i’m not kidding
I’m paying my internet bill for you to use MY bandwidth to put your horrid images and videos on MY screen, draining MY device’s power, wasting MY time? 10000 giant murder hornets forever.
Proposing that it might be kind of fun to share their life experiences with another person or persons, sources speculated Thursday that it would probably be nice having friends. “Gosh, it would probably be pretty cool to have a few select people in your life to do stuff with on a regular basis,” said the sources, stressing that while they had no personal experience with the concept of mutual affection, their observation of thousands of other people interacting in small groups, talking and occasionally laughing, made friendship seem as if it could be really great.
