(Photomode for switch is bugged as all hell so itâs screenshots bare with me)
I put the lambs tent with Narinder and Camellias huts next to mine. They even get their own crown fountain <3
Further down is the healing bay next to the morgue (cause followers donât always get better ya know) Narinder is the undertaker so I had to make it more his taste of decors down there lol I only keep one grave for that sweet faith when they grieve. Besides that I make the followers into fertilizer. Saves tons of space.
Party central
This is my layout for the economy buildings. This way you only need two speakers with enough range to cover all buildings for working.
And this is where I put the mating tent + 2 hatcheries. Those are also the bishops huts with shared shelters for the romantic partners (bottom shelter is literally just for kallamars partners but they keep moving out)
Being asexual and racist is embarassing as fuck. Being racist at all is obviously embarassing as fuck but the amount of racism and especially antiblackness i have been seeing from asexuals recently is obscene.
One of the only asexual activists is Yasmin Benoit, a Black woman. She has raised so much awareness for the community. She was the first asexual person to lead Pride in London, she started the #thisiswhatasexuallookslike movement and is THE leading voice for the community.
And you all will celebrate international asexuality day on April 6th but we wouldn't even have that if she hadn't cofounded it.
Edit: why are you all too scared to repost this. Cmon. Be vocal about being against racism

It's perfectly valid to not want to be a parent, to never want children in one's personal life. But we should not hate children. Children are vulnerable, this world isn't kind to them, it's not their fault, and they deserve better.
Reminds me of Jason Kander, former Missouri Secretary of State. When he went to the VA hospital to treat his PTSD, he told the nurse that Obama told him he should run for president, and she thought he was delusional.
I think I'm gonna make this my go-to story. It's not the worst I've ever heard, which is an asset because people won't believe you if you tell them the actual bad stuff those people do. And it just perfectly sums up the casual arrogance everyone working in mental health seems to have. The way they treat you as inherently Lesser for being in their care.
If they can't even handle basic, easily verified shit like "I'm a lawyer" they are never going to believe you when you tell them that you know how to manage a condition you've been dealing with for decades better than they can or will.
And then there's Alexander Morris, who was put in a straitjacket, called racial slurs, and denied treatment for his potentially life-threatening heart condition when he told them he was the lead singer of the band he was lead singer of.
The lead singer of the Motown group the Four Tops has filed a federal lawsuit against Ascension Macomb Oakland Hospital in Warren, Michigan,
There are multiple parts of that article that are Jae droppingly awful but this one really gets me:
They almost let this man die in a straight jacket simply because they were too racist. And then when they realize their "mistake", they tell him that his life is worth a 25$ supermarket gift card. Of course he's suing them for $75,000 as he should but like. Can you imagine how insulted he must've been. The 4 Tops were one of the top Motown bands of all time. You can be at the top of the music scene and still, they'll kill you because you're black. And they'll use fake claims about mental illness and "aggression" to justify it
& to be clear: none of this is good for anyone. actually delusional people, people who actually hear voices or see things, do not deserve to be treated like this. there is nothing about a person harmlessly believing something fantastical (or which sounds fantastical to you) that requires you to put them in a straightjacket and drug them or deny them necessary drugs. Black mentally ill people do not deserve to be tortured and murdered in a hospital for being Black and mentally ill.
this kind of system is a weapon which can be pointed at anyone. in order to prevent shit like this from happening, we also need to deconstruct how we view mentally ill people, including people who are delusional and hallucinate, and what we view as "reasonable" or "necessary" when it comes to such people.
Black people- including famous black people- have been arrested for "breaking and entering" their own homes due to a neighbor witnessing them unlocking their own house door with their own house key and calling the cops. College professors, celebrities, politicians, and everyday people such as my own father.
It's common enough that young black kids are told to keep any identifying information on them at all times just in case someone reports a black kid breaking and entering by walking into the house they've lived at since they were born. Because that has happened.
When you add mental illness and the healthcare industry into the mix, things only get worse from there. To be clear, you don't need to be black or mentally ill to be treated poorly by a doctor or nurse that's decided they know you better than you do. But it sure doesn't make things easier.
And people have died as a result- or have we already forgotten the death of Adriana Smith who went to THE HOSPITAL SHE WORKED AT AS A NURSE reporting severe headaches and was dismissed as exaggerating and imagining the severity, only to be declared brain dead upon arrival less than 24 hours later and artificially kept alive to force her dead body to carry her baby to term- which couldn't even happen and they had to remove him via C-section anyway.
These are related problems. And until we fix the root cause, they will keep happening.

The apocalypse has come and gone, and against all odds, Pharloom remains standing. The time has come for Hornet to return to Hallownest, accompanied by friends and allies: Shakra hopes to explore the mythical land beyond the wastes, and properly lay to rest a member of her own tribe; Lace fears unraveling without the aid of a Weaver, while contending with the immensity of a future free of her motherâs threads; and the Green Prince lives only only to spite the Citadel, passively seeking a more honorable end than might be found in the rubble of his homeland.
Meanwhile, Hornet returns from Pharloom with magic and knowledge that might aid in the slow recovery of Hallownest and Deepnestâand perhaps offer the chance to call home the sibling she once thought lost to her forever.

Lace, Hollow, and Shakra are chilling together in the Queen's Gardens; meanwhile, it's time for more Mantis Politics! A look at what's happening with Deepnest, Hornet's immediate future plans, and Vise's leadership ability.
Also, the Green Prince has a bit of a crash out! It was probably a bit overdue...

Lace: So... why are we shilly-shallying about?
Shakra: Hornet-Wielding-Needle--
Lace: Yes, yes... I know what the spider would do. But why wait?
Lace: You never hesitated in ransacking my kingdom. Surely for so savvy a wayfinder, the fungal expanse poses no more threat than Bilewater's detritus.
Shakra: Dondakku! Even if such conduct would not jeopardize my friend's alliance, this is no cursed land whose denizens attack with mindless abandon.
Shakra: It is no burden, child-wielding-pin, to rest... to reflect. It is a gift.
Lace: ....finding your "wisdom" dull does not mark me a child. In fact... I suspect I am very much your senior. You really ought to show me proper respect.
Hollow (signing): Okay!
Lace: No.

Vise: Entrances to the Fungal Uplands have been secured, with minor activity reported at the gates of the Weeping City. However, Deepnest remains our primary concern.
Hornet: Apprise me of the current situation.
Vise: Ten or so cycles past, a routine patrol was ambushed without warning by a dirtcarver swarm. We hoped the incident isolated... but attacks persist, crawling ever closer to our core.
Hornet: Do you believe these coordinated strikes?
Vise: No. Though they demonstrate a viciousness not seen since the days of the infection, they overwhelm by sheer numbers rather than strategy.
Hornet: Ah! That is... concerning.
Hornet: But it seems unlikely a new power has emerged to claim the region. Something else has slunk from the shadows to disturb their nests. But what, I cannot say.
Page 3
Vise: The Gardens are not similarly besieged?
Hornet: They make a poor target, so steeped in godlight. However, I go soon to tend my mother's shrine; I will inform you, should answers present themselves.
Vise: In the interim, can nothing more be done? Perhaps the Lady might lend aid--
The Green Prince: Pah.
The Green Prince: I had feared you a dullard, but in truth you are a fool.
Helter: That's out of line!
Vise: Peace, Helter. Our new friend has been naught but courteous 'til now.
Vise: Insult or no, I would learn what provoked him so. Tell, then. What earned me so grand a title as fool?
The Green Prince: Mere disappointment that you so readily forsake your own tradition to chase pale grace.

Vise: ...the Lady is an ally, one I thought we shared.
The Green Prince: Ally or no, she is a god. No good ever comes of drawing their gaze.
The Green Prince: Did you mistake me a wanderer? An adventurer? I am neither. Because of them, I am a prince without a people, orphan of a land lost to all memory but my own. Because of them, I am nothing.
The Green Prince: So ally with them if you must-- But know this: They will take everything, and they will not ask.
Page 5
Vise: ....
The Green Prince: ....
The Green Prince: I... I don't...
The Green Prince: Forgive my forwardness.
Vise: ...no, you honored my ask... now I will honor your answer and think on your words. for now, prior orders hold. Attend the borders...
The Mantis Lord: ....
Vise: I and my guard will take the lead investigating matters in Deepnest.
Vise: The meeting is adjourned.
The Mantis Lord: Foreign Lord, named kin.
The Mantis Lord: I would have us speak.
