HELLO WTF ITS BEEN YEARS??? i occasionally wonder about how you’re doing so this is AMAZING!!!! im doing amazing im like a real grown up now lol! HOW ARE YOU???
YESSSS DUDE its been SO LONG 😭😭 honestly same like i wont lie 2 u our hiraeth babies r still living rent free in my head. i have a whole doc full of notes on them that i occasionally come back to every couple months so i always end up wondering how ure doing as well
also lowkey me too…. like that is so crazy. i’m in college taking up an arts/comms degree n an entire legal adult now n everything its insane 😭
what abt u hehe what have u been up to???
if you’re offline or away and i message you something (like a link to a meme or a picture or w/e) honestly just assume that i’m just leaving it there for when you get back and not expecting you to answer straight away. i don’t need you to respond with “hey, sorry, i wasn’t at the computer!” or anything. i was leaving u a gift for later.
This also applies if you’re online and just don’t want to or have the energy to deal with humans in the moment. Just because we have the ability to reply in real time does not mean we have the obligation.
im like a cat i drag the posts to ur doorstep and if ur not there it’s ok, the post will be on ur porch for later
reblog if you wear glasses. too many mutuals don't know they have glasses wearers in their midsts
quarterly reminder that if i reblog something ai-generated it is 110% and always an accident and for the love of god please tell me so i can delete it from my blog
I’m sorry my lovelies but the reason you hate yourself is because you treat you like shit. If you came up to me and then told me I was a fuck up who could never do anything right I'd fucking hate you too.
if you didn't let me go to bed until after midnight because you'd rather watch Netflix than let me rest, and then got mad at me for not being productive the next day I'd be PISSED
You keep calling me a fatass but you tell other overweight people they’re beautiful? Why do you keep shitting on MY weight, then?
Oh? It’s different if it’s me? Wow fuck you too
Love is a verb! Self love isn’t a warm fuzzy feeling, it is compassion and action in support of yourself!
And yes, this includes having compassion for the bully in your head. Unfortunately that part is also you and deserves as much of your understanding as the rest of you.

This is the real reason why you need to be kind to the bully in your brain too, because that motherfucker is really good at doing a switcheroo when you're not paying attention.
holy shit
Heather, Heather, and Heather!

rare moment of me putting colours on him...congrats honey i still love you
only headshot…full body ref will probably nvr happen😭✋ if im not lazy then sure yeh, but hey there’s a full body of chibi Ras, thats smth…
i think we as a society need to start accepting that fictional love stories need to be a bit toxic for us to go insane over them… like, sometimes you kinda need the two parties to be obsessed with each other and fucked up and willing to bring each other back from the dead instead of moving on and go to therapy i’m sorry😔

Local Filipinos once again fighting against the international Filipino community for pushing the “Filipinx” term as a gender-neutral alternative even though “Filipino” is already considered gender-neutral. This has been happening every few months for several years now, and I think it’s time I give my two cents.
First of all, it is true that “Filipino” is perceived as a gender-neutral term here in the Philippines. So, why all the fuss over it?
Well, one must also acknowledge that the term itself is not native to the country. The country’s name (las Islas Filipinas, ‘the Philippine Islands’) was coined by the Spaniards in honor of King Philip II of Spain. And the term Filipino/Philippino back then was used to refer not just to the native indio community, but also to the local Spaniard community. It can be said, then, that the word “Filipino” adopted the sensibilities of the Spanish language. And Spanish is a very gendered language: nouns ending with -o are considered masculine, while those ending with -a are feminine.
Although Spanish is no longer spoken today in the Philippines, its gendered rules influence the native languages of the country in subtle ways. For example, the native Tagalog word “ginoo” was used to refer to both men and women in pre-colonial times, but because of Spanish influence, the female version “ginang” was made. So, now, “ginoo” only refers to a man. Philippine languages also retain several Spanish words in their vocabulary, such as amigo and amiga to refer to a male and female friend, respectively. So to say, there is a degree of gendered-ness that is undeniably now a part of our language/s.
But does this apply to “Filipino”?
Here in the Philippines, you can often find ads marketed towards women using the term “Filipina” to make their products more appealing. e.g. “For the Filipina beauty” and “For the modern Filipina” etc. etc.
But that’s just in capitalist language. In everyday use, nobody thinks of only men when the term “Filipino” is used. No woman growing up here in the Philippines would also just refer to themselves as a “Filipina” in casual conversation. In official government documents, one’s citizenship would be listed as “Filipino” regardless of what gender you identify with. Nobody explicitly identifies as “Filipina.” It’s unnecessary.
“Filipino” may have had Spanish roots, but our people have already reclaimed the term for ourselves and used it to adapt to our sensibilities. Spain may have colonized us then, but now we’re “colonizing” them back by taking what they gave us and making it our own. By insisting that it’s still Spanish in nature and therefore masculine, it’s like saying that we’ve never really broken free from our colonial past. And I think that’s extremely disrespectful to the history of our language.
The people pushing the “Filipinx” term think they are being more inclusive by removing the -o suffix. I disagree. What they’re doing is akin more to enforcing a new set of foreign rules onto our language. They are subjecting the term “Filipino,” which has already been localized through years of painful history, to a second form of colonization—an Americanization with the addition of the -x.
The letter X is not even naturally part of the Tagalog alphabet. No native word is spelled with an X. It was only later added to the Filipino alphabet in consideration of foreign terms that have it:
“Filipinx,” therefore, sounds and looks unnatural to the native Filipino, thereby alienating them from their own identity. It is extremely disrespectful and shows a lack of understanding on how Philippine languages work.
So yeah, drop the “Filipinx.” It’s cringe af.

i saw a video of emergency vehicles rushing down an israeli highway to some location or another and I thought to myself, what a luxury it is to have wide and clear roads, working ambulances, running hospitals, vehicles to rescue people with and places to take them to where they will be guaranteed well-equipped care. what wealth, the asphalt laid on stolen land, operating rooms resting on foundations that displaced many thousands, surgical instruments funded by the exploitation of a captive population, surgeons deploying techniques developed from medical experimentation delivered by bullet and bomb. how fortunate, to have sirens that tell you to hide, shelters to hide in, and the reassurance that if you're hurt, help will come, with not a thought paid to the deprivations that made it all possible. what am I meant to feel but disgust?
"Why would this character be jealous of their friend's romantic relationships? Clearly they're in love with them" I don't know if you guys have ever Had Friends but it's actually pretty common for people to feel jealous if their best friend suddenly has less time for them and is prioritising someone they just met over them. That's not inherently romantic, that's the general human desire to be valued by the people you value.
