Someone hit me with their car and I got isekai’d to a world that’s really similar to my old one except in this one my collarbone is mysteriously broken
there’s a stage in sandwich consumption where it’s falling to pieces & you’re desperately cupping it in your hands & it’s like this poor wounded animal that is covered in mustard & wants to die
this dog walked on stage during a biden rally and joe had his campaign team bury and seal the dog underground with bricks. this is SO fucked up, are some of you really voting for this ‘nice guy’?
I’m a bag of anxiety but also dense as fuck which is a great combo in social situations because when I screw up it plays off as sheer confidence
“Eating a sandwich,” I answer happily, to what seems to be a positive reception. I finish my lunch and leave the cafeteria. Halfway to class I realize that junior kid meant “what’s your major at this institute,” not “what brings you to the cafeteria” when he asked what I was doing here. He laughed at my dry humor, thinking my jape funny. Little does he know, I am but a witless fool. I will now stress binge an entire loaf of pretzel bread and sleep for twelve hours
ok if u want like endless refreshing beverages that are basically free like, just buying a bit of mint and putting it in ice water is truly a game changer. started doing this yesterday and i feel noticeably more hydrated altho its kinda chicken/egg because im probably drinking more water because it tastes better. anyhow, i feel like this is a good thing to give guests if you are entertaining guests too.
also this isn’t my house its an air bnb so don’t judge the decor i would def put floral wallpaper up if i had weird protruding things on my walls like this and i certainly wouldnt waste time and money framing a picture
so I went to the counseling center at my school to set up an appointment etc etc and I know they have a therapy dog there and I was like “where’s the dog?” and the receptionist was like ‘oh I’m sorry, she’s in a meeting right now’ and I look over at the other room and there is a fucking dog sitting in a chair at a long table sitting next to all these people in business suits and I felt like I was in a dream
I’m losing my fucking shit because my mom is getting catfished by a guy that sends her pictures like this and it never once occurred to her that this….isnt a real picture that a real person would ever take, ever

i cannot emphasize enough how 5 years ago you could walk into a store and pick up the item you wanted and buy it and leave . it sounds like a fairytale now but it was true.
Artists make art and then either are paid for it by an employer, or sell the art themselves. Either way, they are selling their labor-power to support themselves. That, by definition, makes them working class. If you dismiss artists as “petit-bourgeois” because the self-employed ones own their own drawing supplies, either your argument is bad or petit-bourgeois is a fucking useless term that primarily serves to divide the working class, or both
You’re not fucking cripple punk if you are are gonna be ableist towards severely disabled people. Take those stickers off your cane if you can’t treat powerchair users with speech issues and carers like we’re fucking human beings.
In fact in general if you’re going to treat severely disabled people and people with intellectual disabilities or higher support needs like shit then stay the fuck away from disability “activism” or “advocacy”.
(hey op, hope you’re OK with me reblogging with commentary.)
so i’ve noticed that people are tagging this post with things like, “internalised ableism isn’t cool.”y'all have got the spirit, but wrong word. this post isn’t about internalised ableism.
internalised ableism = i feel like a burden on other people, i’m not in enough pain to need this mobility aid, i should just do XYZ even though it causes me pain, i’m faking, etc. it’s a product of other people’s treatment of you, to the point that you have to unlearn the shit that’s said to you because you start believing it.
being a dick to other disabled people is just ableism. the non-internalised kind.
if you don’t use a mobility aid, there is nothing internalised about your ableism towards to people who do. if you are sighted and hearing, you being ableist to someone who is blind or d/Deaf is not ‘internalised’.
it didn’t feel very internalised when my cane-using acquaintance told me, a wheelchair user, that they’d rather die than be a wheelchair user because of how embarrassing that would be.
i care about this now especially because there’s a trend of disabled activists who will catch themselves doing this and say “sorry, i’m working on my internalised ableism.” this implies they’re just as hurt by their actions as the actual victim, and they absolve themselves of any responsibility by blaming Ableist Society As A Whole for the way they, an individual, just mistreated someone else. sure, society plays a pretty important role in how we all think of disability, but pretending that nothing you say or do can be outright ableist because you’re also disabled is incredibly irresponsible.
you do not get to be a cripple punk and make fun of people who drool, or call people disgusting when they’re unable to meet your hygiene standards. you don’t get to be an ass to people who live with their parents and/or carers, who take certain medications, who can’t leave their homes, or communicate with words, or who need round-the-clock care. and you certainly don’t get to write it off as internalised ableism.
Okay, 1) Why did wikipedia decide to feature this as one of todays fun facts and 2) whose tumblr ass art is this isnt this a homestuck characterOkay yeah i looked it up it’s homestuck. Homestuck mpreg on wikipedia good job everyone
okay this felt too weird to be real but
homestuck mpreg is on wikipedia. it’s on fucking wikipedia.
“I’m almost 50, and here is the best thing I have learned so far: every strange thing you’ve ever been into, every failed hobby or forgotten instrument, everything you have ever learned will come back to you, will serve you when you need it. No love, however brief, is wasted.” @louisethebaker on Twitter
having mutuals who are all also mutuals of each other is like living in a fucking hive mind. heres a post, heres that post again, heres that post again, heres that post again, heres that post again
moles make these lovely little hills and tunnels but make them so small than noone dares to enter why ? to scheme and keep secrets from god! forsaken beasts let me in there,,, i dont like being left out please :(
Extremely Important Update: in April 2023 the World Bird Sanctuary had an orphaned eagle chick in need of care, so they decided to see if Murphy could live up to his parental ambitions.
He successfully raised the chick, which is now thriving with the other juvenile eaglets!
Congrats Murphy, you made it happen through sheer determination.
(Pictures are from the Facebook page of the World Bird Sanctuary; I can’t link them directly because I don’t have a FB account and the site is a nightmare to interact with if you’re not logged in, constantly resetting and kicking you to registration pages.)
i’ll die on the hill that says “sapphic love isn’t inherently more wholesome and pure and saying it does will only hurt lesbian and bi women”
listen. if you go around talking about how much better and moral love between women is because male love is so sexual and bad, you’re not actually doing any good. i know too many lesbians who think they’re predatory just for being sexually attracted to women because #feminism. the idea that love between women is the non-evil sexuality you will only shame wlw for what you claim is evil male sexuality, whether it’s a sex drive or finding women hot or if it’s(god forbit) the masculinity, because these are all traits wlw will have. and you’re not helping.
also just btw- this is introductory TERF rhetoric. the idea that men are inherently evil and are always a threat to women simply by virtue of existence, and that women are inherently purer/safer/more wholesome simply by virtue of being women, is the ‘radical feminism’ part of the acronym. It’s gender essentialism, where “goodness” is given to women, and “badness” to men.
