just talking to myself

This is my personal blog, it's mostly reblogs. I am shit at tagging stuff but I don't use alternate spellings of anything or censor myself really.

Layering my Short Skirt, Long Jacket (CAKE) over my White Tee (CORPSE) and Blue Jeans (Lana Del Ray) Knee Socks (Arctic Monkeys) and Blue Suede Shoes (Elvis) and then putting on my Raspberry Beret (Prince) before I head out to the Bard Olympics where I am disqualified for performance-enhancing power buffs. On my way home I am cast as a sassy but cute side character in an early 2010's Disney Channel original series. I look fresh as hell

Hey does anybody have any advice or know any tips? I've always wanted to know how to do something.

1. If you can avoid it, never call a business on the first day of the week it's open. Wait until at least 40 minutes after they're open on the second day. This waits out the first wave of frantic callers and gives whoever is on the phone time to grab a coffee and drink enough that they don't feel disturbed in their morning start-up ritual.

You'll spend less time on hold and reach more people with the time and patience to hear you out.

2. Take notes for phone calls. You can literally make a numbered check list of what you definitely want to bring up, and then during the call take down who you spoke to, at what date and what solutions/deadlines were promised.

This keeps you on topic without forgetting your priorities, and also gives you something to refer back to later.

The method of changing your duvet cover by rolling it onto the duvet was a huge help when I had low energy:

A rice cooker can also cook most frozen vegetables, as long as they're in small pieces, and can reheat precooked meats also in bite-sized bits. You can make a whole meal in around half an hour by dumping 1 cup rice, 2 cups liquid, and 1-2 servings of meat & vegetables in a rice cooker and hitting start. Use a flavored liquid, like broth, or mix in seasonings at the start, and you're good to go. Cubed carrots and sweet potato with canned chickpeas and yellow curry paste, for example. Frozen peas and pearl onions with shredded chicken and chicken broth.

Whatever you like.

I had a dream once that I had used gen AI for something and woke up disgusted with myself.

[junglejim4322]

Remember when 10 year old girls used to wear happy bunny t shirts that just said shit like “I’m going to skin you alive”

[coyoteroadkill]

ive said this before but it was on my old blog so I'm saying it again

dehumanizing abusers is not effective at doing anything other than make people think they're ontologically incapable of violence

[ajunicetryagain]

it's also creating a class of people who you can abuse while telling yourself that you're Good and Moral and Not an Abuser.

[kyraneko]

if you dehumanize the caught abusers then the uncaught abusers will use their humanity as proof of innocence

if you dehumanize the hypothetical abusers you create incentives for false accusations as a means of dehumanization whenever dehumanization is desired for other reasons

[phantomrose96]

It's always a really great feeling to go back and re-read something you wrote and go "oh wow!! oh yay actually this is really good??"

The one downside is my instinct after "wow this is good" is to then go "wow I have to go tell people how good this is!" and now here. we have an impasse.

[phantomrose96]

slides up into the group discord like "hey did you know that" *chuckles* *flips my hair* *presses my fingers to my temple* "there is a genius writer here and it's ME?!"

please make sure your transfem friends don’t get excluded. please listen to their needs.

[transsexual-feminism]

You should do more than just listen, actually. You need to ask her. You need to go up to her and ask her about things you can do to include her. We are taught to take up as little space as possible, you need to go out of your way to account for that.

[birdbombs714]

You should also do more research and listen to and talk to more trans women, so that trans women no longer have to provide the labour of even having to express what they need to be treated like literal people.

[funkyness]

at least can all we agree that the original gay flag with the magic and sex colours is BEAUTIFUL and it should make a comeback

[funkyness]

what’s more iconic than this

[azeroundivided]

What about the final version of the flag by the original creator?

Gilbert Baker added a 9th stripe shortly before his death, with the new stripe representing diversity. He added this stripe in reaction to the 2016 US election. It’s unfortunately not as well known as the 8 and 6 striped versions.

Here’s an image of him sewing together the 9 striped rainbow flag.

Happy pride month everyone

Happy pride month ^^

I think this might already be known but around April a Black Asexual, Ashabi (creator of Ace in Grace) (she/they), proposed a new Asexual flag. I think it would be nice to show them some support.

Here's links to the meaning of the flag: https://aceingrace.substack.com/p/new-asexuality-flag-final-updates

https://aceingrace.substack.com/p/its-international-asexuality-day (< this includes the meaning of the old flag and the reason she felt it needed some changes + an older design of their proposed flag)

Here's a link to her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_aceingrace_?igsh=dTdqMGZtMzI0MWxs

Thank you for sharing!

[creatingblackcharacters]

So I have no grounds to speak on the validity of anything involving a community I'm not in.

HOWEVER- White asexuals saying "that's not my flag" aye yo lmao that's right out of the white supremacist quote playbook. "That's not my ____" when someone of color comes up with or is something that used to be centered on Whiteness... Bad look folks.
