"This fic was ai generated—" Cool, so lemme block you real quick
i immediately thought of this
aparently in the latest fantastic 4 comics johnny storm has been in a relationship with an alien, and that would be pretty standard affair for marvel heroes, right.
except someone at marvel with fucking balls of steel and the biggest brain in the known universe made the alien look... actually alien
this is the greatest thing ive seen in my life, is almost enough to make me want to read the comic
okay now this tracks
I find it Pleasing that that alien is clearly based off of a Hallucigenia.
What a deep cut into the Burgess Shale.
Wow. The patience, kindness and calm communication skills. Outstanding.

This made me cry. I wish all situations could be handled as perfectly as this
I just want to point out the core of what the diffuser did in this conversation
They recognized that the mother was also expressing a vulnerable truth about herself - that she felt like a bad mother because her child was expressing gender feelings she wasn’t equipped to help with - and met her where she was, a concerned parent with limited information - to point her where she should be heading, research and resources.
Im going to make more of an effort to stop reflexively pushing people away when they express biases and make more of an effort to hear the underlying fears when i can
“it’s easier to love ourselves when we feel loved as ourselves”
damn that is so powerful though
“it’s easier to
love ourselves when we feel
loved as ourselves”
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

I passed peer review! Thank you. I think these are important skills for everyone to learn. x
A frustrating part of the mainstream vegan “love all animals and protect the environment” mindset is the fact that things need to die in real-life ecology all the time but deer hunting season makes icky feelings and carp culls aren’t cottagecore
The vegan “any animal death ever is morally wrong” mindset doesn’t hold up when:
We don’t have any of the large predators we used to (black bears, mountain lions, or gray wolves) but still retain large deer populations. If nothing is removing animals, they’ll quickly overload the carrying capacity of the environment and have massive losses to starvation and disease that can also pass on to livestock. Human hunters replace the large predators that our landscape can no longer support.
It’s kinder to euthanize an un-releasable hawk rather than try to find it a permanent home with humans. Wildlife rehabs have extremely limited space and resources and are usually run entirely on donated money and volunteer time. Only a few are large and stable enough to care for permanent residents long-term, and those spots are few and far between.
An invasive species poses a danger to threatened native wildlife. I will admit- Australian possums are adorable. But not in New Zealand, where they’re an invasive species that eats the eggs of ground-dwelling birds that previously had no such predators. The landowners I worked with replanting native bush, all native Maori, had no qualms about setting the dogs on them.
I don’t know how to end this except. Sometimes things just gotta die and acting otherwise just isn’t a realistic expectation.
Highlights from the notes over the past 6 months include a lot of angry vegans saying “you’re blowing things out of proportion, no vegans actually think like this!” and a lot of people who work in conservation and education saying “Every day. I have to fight people who think like this.”
As a bonus this post was originally inspired by the vegan who called me racist for saying we should kill invasive species
nature keeps itself in check. It’s why wolf/ deer populations are in sync
When wolf populations increase, deer populations decrease, which in turn causes a decrease in wolf population, that causes an increase in deer, which will then increase the wolf population.
When wolves were reintroduced into yellowstone, both flora and fauna massively bounced back because elk were no longer ruining the environment, including beavers, which in turn brought back creatures that exist in mutualism with Beaver dams and pools.
Keystone Species are massively important to ecological health
thank a big predator today
While this is true, I want to highlight a point from my original post- where I live, our landscape cannot support large wild predators.
There’s food aplenty but that’s only one part of the puzzle. 99.9% of our prairie in Iowa has been turned to farmland. There’s nowhere for them to GO aside from tiny pockets of the Northeast near Wisconsin. At any one time there are between zero and three black bears in Iowa as they pass through the Mississippi River area to get to better places.
I should be so lucky to live to see the possibility of wolf reintroduction. It’s just a “Decades of hard work to prepare” kind of thing instead of a “Ship in a few dozen puppies and let em loose” kind of thing.

Crips for eSims
There’s like. A ton of personifications. Including but not limited to the above:
Quarantine Man
The Taiwan CDC with a Disinfectant Gun
Hepatitis but a Boy Band
Syphilis with Gender (女) and other Bio Information
Varicella (chicken pox) and Herpes Zoster (shingles) as Children
The Plague, but Hot Lady (also with bio information)
Fuckboy Influenza
Measles, but Hot Guy
Lyme Disease with a Mech????
And, of course, COVID-19 in all their gender neutral glory.
There’s more but I hit the image limit. I’ve got a couple articles about them, too:
Taiwan CDC's personified disease illustrations go viral in US | 2020-10-24 09:10:00
Please don't try to roll for them in gacha. Or get them in anyway.
Let’s make this post even longer because I have even more images saved. Next up, we got:
Tsutsumagushi Disease
Chikungunya Fever!
MERS
Pertussis (whooping cough) with a horrifying (almost body horror) headpiece and flute
Dengue Fever, the image of which literally made me stop breathing for a moment when I first saw it
Japanese Encephalitis (as... idols, maybe?)
And Zika Virus (so pretty! and for what???)
And some higher res images of the ones from the video (Legionnaires’ Disease, Viral Gastroenteritis, and Rubella). Unfortunately, I could not fit Rabies because of the image limit.
The lime disease mech is definitely supposed to be a tick
Also Rabies
@bogleech this seems like something up your alley
Dengue and Zika are both dressed in the colors of the mosquito that typically spreads them!
this is so fucking sick i need prints of these immediately
Lyme disease also has an outfit that when viewed from above would be a bullseye shape, which is a characteristic first symptom of the disease visible on the skin around the site of the bite.
OK, so I've seen this image set before, and it is AMAZING! But it's only the recent discussion that made me realize that people may not be understanding many of the visual references in these images. So... with no further ado...

Always reblog, these are all absolutely brilliant.
^ is a zionist
Happy pride everyone , this month Zionists and Israelis will be making posts like these to justify their treatment of palestinians. don’t fall for it, this is pink washing. the term "pinkwashing" was literally coined specifically for Israel.
if they refuse to protect their own queer israeli, why should we let them cast judgement against queer people who actually want to stop their genocidal mania?
Don't let them use LGBT rights, which they do not believe in in the first place, to make people support their slaughter of innocent civilians.
gay and interfaith marriages are also illegal in israel btw LMAO
Haredim, extreme right-wing activists take to streets with parade of their own in protest of planned pride rally scheduled for Friday. Durin
Itamar Ben-Gvir, one of the most bloodythirsty cheerleaders for the slaughter of Palestinians in Israel right now, used to hold these parades where he'd compare LGBT+ people with animals. Israel is not an LGBT+ ally state, and the current government is even moreso not an LGBT+ ally government.
"No one can love you until you love yourself" is like the worst possible way of articulating "if you don't respect and value yourself, it's very easy to become attracted to people who don't treat you right and then justify their mistreatment, so be careful."
so THAT'S what it's supposed to mean. that actually makes sense.
Draw this based on that one draw your fav ship tweet
