Updated pinned post! (will be updated more regularly for fandom/tag stuff)
System + tons of other mental and physical health issues, so we tend to vent a lot. Block the tag "#negative ibuprofen" if this bothers you (that's our chronic pain tag).
DNIs are useless, you know the drill, follow your own. We like the block button. Systems of all origins are welcome here. Don't hurt our friends. All Harry Potter fans will immediately be blocked. We don't care about your nostalgia, deal with it.

Tags:
#canis major collective = anything system related or about all of us in general. basically a general tag for our bs
#canis yaps = answering asks, weird conversations, and fun things with our mutuals
#canis art = art tag. Most of our art is on our old version of this blog, which has been deleted. not sure if we'll find a way to restore it or if we'll repost it. maybe neither.
#negative ibuprofen = politely screaming about our chronic pain. sometimes a funny sarcastic rant, sometimes just. ough. pain. Block the tag if you don't want to hear us complain
#oc stuff = ....yeah you can guess
#oc: [name] = that specific OC!
#constellation island = Our Tomodachi Life island! we've made extensive lore about this, please read it..... posts collection here (link)!
#CI: [name] = same as the "oc: [name]" tag, but specifically for Constellation Island! The lore for characters is different on that island than their original OC lore, so we're seperating it for less confusion. It's basically an AU tag lol
yk I think our very first experience with tracking alters was when we were in middle school and couldn't tell if we were a trans guy or non-binary or genderfluid. so we decided to track whenever we had dysphoria by the class time, every single day, for an unknown amount of time.
I think it was something like "chest dysphoria? y/n." and then we'd X it out for each class period that we had dysphoria. there were other elements to it but that's the main one I remember. usually it'd fluctuate randomly throughout the day, and we were so confused about why it felt so varied. Sometimes we even felt fully fem, which was REALLY confusing to have, like, an hour after feeling fully masc.
...so anyways it doesn't surprise me that that's one of our few memories from middle school, considering. well. the system.
Bodily autonomy (like abortion, anti draft, etc) -> “The government shouldn’t be able to force anything on my body I don’t want.”
Anti surveillance -> “I don’t trust big government/big tech (big brother if you’re feeling frisky) with the ability to spy on me and my family.”
Immigration -> “Next to all of us immigrated at some point, I don’t see why the elites get to decide who’s allowed to be where. What’s to stop them coming for me?”
Climate Change -> “Big oil shouldn’t get to determine whether or not I get to go places. I don’t want to be dependent on some big business to survive.”
State Violence -> “I don’t want the goddamn secret police breathing down my neck! I trust my community a whole hell of a lot more to help me than I do the state!”
The vast majority of conservatives think of themselves as underdogs being repressed by the government/the elite, and they value personal freedom (specifically their personal freedom, they don’t care about other people). The will almost always agree with leftist points if you can find a way to blame the problem on their vague enemies (useful, since rich people are the root of most problems), and tie it back to their ability to say fuck everyone else. NEVER appeal to science, theory, logic, or human goodness. Make it seem as if you are a paranoid lunatic who trusts no one. They love it.
#you need to tailor your arguments to people's existing values and priorities if you want to convince them #the flip side is that it's every bit as easy to tailor conservative arguments to convince a leftist audience #so don't get smug #you're not immune to this either <- prev extremely true
