i like how scooby doo isn’t the product of weird 70s tv animation design but was instead an intentional attempt to create the ugliest trash dog possible

[Image Description: a screenshot of a Wikipedia article that reads

“Taking notes from a Hanna-Barbera colleague who was also a breeder of Great Danes, Production designer Iwao Takamoto designed the Scooby-Doo character with a sloping chin, spots, a long tail, a sloped back, and bow legs - all traits in direct opposition to those of a prize-winning purebred Great Dane.”

remember: the ‘holy’ white doves are just white rock doves, aka the common pigeon!

[sovereignslash]

Doves are just pigeons with white privilege

[sour-charity]

Also can we talk about how STUNNING their irredentist feathers are?

[tawghasa]

This post made me finally look up whether Australian crested pigeons are also doves, and I didn’t quite understand the wiki page but I think the answer is ‘yes’.

[stereofeathers]

You guys are gonna go ham when you hear about fruit doves

if you ever doubt your writing, be it your themes, or the reason behind it, remember that h.g wells wrote war of the worlds both as a commentary on colonialism and the horrors it brings, and because he fucking hated his neighbours and his 13 hour job, and wanted to write about the town in which he lived getting blasted to the fucking ground by lasers into an irreparable heap and all of the townspeople dying painfully 

you, too, can channel your hatred for that guy that lives down the hall and blasts music at 4am into the one of the most influential science fiction stories ever written! fuck it! i believe in you!!

Do you have any advice for someone (ftm pre everything) dealing with crippling gender dysphoria?

I understand that you’re having a rough time my dude, I really do. But just because I’ve been there, it does not make me qualified to safely advise a total stranger on such struggles.

I’ve said this plenty of times in plenty of posts on plenty of different socials, but I am just a dude who makes things on the internet. I draw, I reblog memes, and I happen to be trans. But the fact that I exist as a trans person does not automatically mean that I am open to offering counselling / life advice on trans issues. Nor does it mean I am qualified to do give such advice in the first place.

This is absolutely no harm no foul against you at all anon, you’re not in trouble here, and I very much hope you can find the help and advice you need in a space that is actually dedicated to providing such help and advice. (There are plenty of blogs and even entire other websites out there that are purpose-built for exactly that!)

However, I do wanna use this moment to put a gentle, but rather loud reminder out here as a general rule of thumb:

Please don’t assume that the inbox of every trans individual online is by default a space that is open for you to seek advice for your own personal struggles with gender dysphoria, air out your own personal grief, or seek help for your own serious, real-life situations, completely unprompted.

I get a fair few messages like this every week, here on my personal, non-LGBT-advice related blog (on which there is not and has never been any kind of indicator that I am open to give council on any such things in the first place); and the weight of the fact that I have to leave them unanswered, because I cannot responsibly answer - stacks up to be very heavy.

[abd-illustrates]

There is also something to be said here in a much more general sense about parasocial online relationships and expectations; and the very commonplace, unspoken notion in online spaces that: just because somebody online is [insert_specific_trait_here], that means they should automatically be fine with being treated as a therapist / encyclopedia / debate partner on any and all issues regarding [specific_trait].

Not a fan of that.
