“People need to be nicer to each other online” and “people need to develop thicker skin because it’s not normal or healthy to get upset at everything you don’t agree with” are two statements than can and should coexist actually
you can ignore the moral questionability of presenting the axis powers as cutsey UwU adventures without it reflecting back onto you BUT DONT YOU FUCKING **DARE** having any icky ships. That'd be bad
it's amazing what going on a 5km hike and then having a strawberry Margarita in the sun can do for one's psyche
“clown event still possible” put that in your pocket, I can already tell you that this is the key phrase of 2026
I wonder how much of some people's discomfort with "eugenics was a science, and framing it as outside the histories of science is dangerous" is because they need to believe in science as moral/good.
Ive yet to meet a historian who would believe this, though (I am happy to be corrected).
out at a 'beer tasting pairing" event with my parents tonight at one of my favourite restaurants. I'm intrigued by the idea of pairing beer* instead of wine
*one of the desserts comes with a cider
it’s hard enough to encourage people to use alt text. imagine the disappointment when someone with a screen reader finally gets to an image with alt text and it says something like “this asshole” and it’s actually a picture of your dog
its actually comedic doing a redux on an oc i havent done much with since 2023. who is that old art style i dont know them

My darling Mimi who will be 15 next month still enjoying her delightful sunbeams upon my bed
the thing about being so far post op is I feel myself care less about the food warnings I was given
like I don't want to stop myself from eating spicy food or popcorn
i love [geniuenly] when i make posts and i get people with like "incest and vampire lover 2000 make whatever art you want" in their blog description on the post. hell yea brother lets be true to media creation in these trying times

there are intelligent criticisms of genre romance but too many people pick up a book called Seducing The Duke of Cheek Clappingshire, #7 in the Regency Fuck Series and are like “why don’t these books represent women who are happy single?” and you’re like maybe because it’s Seducing The Duke of Ch
one character you have to be made old to romance. one is only a guy in like his early 30s. the other is de-aged. come on now
I love Scarlet Hollow and i think its decent horror, but the way it's afraid of actual age gaps is reaching a comedic level to me

stuff like ao3 going down really makes you think about how fragile online stuff really is
like, take patreon. its tottaly normal to pay to get early access to a WIP and getting to see parts of pieces early. but that gets a bit weird with dev stuff when that turns into basically paying to be a QA tester, yea?
one thing thats really interesting in these times is trying to figure where The Line is when an online Artist starts being a Company, in indie spaces especially. There's no clear line between things and I think that causes a lot of the issues that crop up
its just me and my high dosage iron suppements against the world
