You can love someone you love even if you don't love yourself🏳️‍⚧️
But if you love yourself, you can love both yourself and the person you love. Your love becomes twofold.
So take care of yourself.
Your soul is beautiful.

Love both of these series. I was the Bust-a-Groove master as a kid.

good morning friends 💚✨

The image is a comic strip titled "Terrier Team" from "Hey Buddy Comics." It has three panels: 1. First Panel: A man with a beard and overalls is speaking to two dogs, saying, "Someone stole a loaf of bread!" One of the dogs reassures him with "Don't worry!" 2. Second Panel: The two dogs, wearing blue and red capes, confidently declare, "We'll find the person responsible for this!" 3. Third Panel: The scene shifts to a mayor's office. One dog is standing on the mayor's desk, asking, "Why are there people in your city who can't afford to eat?" The desk has a nameplate reading "Mayor" and a seal that says "Dog Ham City Mayor."

You can’t “try harder” your way out of disability

You can’t “healthy diet” your way out of disability

Many conditions are completely debilitating & the people suffering from them end up disappeared

Non disabled people can’t face the reality of chronic illness, so they choose not too

#WorldMEDay

Realizing that CPTSD and crippling anxiety *are* actually disabilities and that I'm actually doing my best considering the circumstances🫣

When a disabled person talks about their symptoms, the immediate reaction of a lot of people is denial.

They can't imagine or comprehend symptoms like we describe so they don't think it's real, and instead default to thinking we're lying.

But we have to live with it every day.

Hey street corner bootleg dvd sellers of the past. Come back and bring blu rays of anime and I’ll be lining up now.

Black and white etching-style triptych showing 8 hours for work on the left, 8 hours for rest in the middle, and 8 hours for “what we will” on the right

Did you know the “weekend” and working only 8 hours per day used to be considered a radical, liberal idea?

139 years ago today, in Bay View, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 7 workers (including a 13 yo) lost their lives to advance this revolutionary idea.

Hex Crank

A life playing videosgame had me wildly overestimating the amount of times I'd need a hex crank in my day to day life, but I fear that if I leave my hex crank and bolt cutters at home, there's gonna be an inventory puzzle situation where something needs crankin' and I'll be the crankless fool.

We could all do with a good, solid scream.

I remember being a young man and sometimes going several days at a time without thinking about politics.

I know that was privilege but like… I am allowed to miss it. I wish we could all have that. It was nice.

A solid cooking rule to follow is to remember that when recipes say ‘add two cloves of garlic’, it’s always a misprint and what they actually mean is six.

Getting there.

I love being a human artist and creating something never before seen, out of my mind’s eye. I love making every decision with care. I love trying and failing. I love noticing mistakes and fixing them. I love it all.

Just a reminder: having a functional moral compass right now is going to make you feel bad all the time; don’t mistakenly hate yourself for that.

Sharing this again because it's eternally relevant.

It's come to my attention that some people believe you can't buy a new book until you've read the books you already have. Let me assure you, as both a lawyer and a writer, that this idea is legally and morally WRONG and BAD. Buy more books.

"We fucked with that thing you love. It sucks now."

I wish with my whole heart that I could give you my uterus. I’m not using it and don’t want it. Why can’t this kind of thing be available to us?

a screenshot that reads " Permalink for The Orange Information about The Orange About Comment on 'The Orange' Print 'The Orange' The Orange At lunchtime I bought a huge orange— The size of it made us all laugh. I peeled it and shared it with Robert and Dave— They got quarters and I had a half. And that orange, it made me so happy, As ordinary things often do Just lately. The shopping. A walk in the park. This is peace and contentment. It’s new. The rest of the day was quite easy. I did all the jobs on my list And enjoyed them and had some time over. I love you. I’m glad I exist. — Wendy Cope "

happy valentines day, reminder platonic love is just as important if not moreso than romantic love

here's my favourite poem about platonic love

We do not throw away perfectly good food in this house.

We put it in Tupperware & wait for it to go bad & then we throw it away.

It scares me how culture wars and anti-woke rhetorics have brainwashed gamers to pushed aside the legitimate problems within the modern gaming industry.

I miss the days when everyone was unified against the higher executives and CEOs instead of blaming it on wokeness or DEI.
