“Don’t quote me boy, cuz I ain’t said shit”

[teaboot]

When I was a teen in the 2010s boys would call each other Gay to say they were too effeminate but now it’s 2026 and we’re “Better Than That” so I just overheard a kid on the bus tell his buddy “you gotta get on T man cause you are NOT passing” 😭😭😭😭😭

If I was paid I’d do a study on this

This drawing made me realise that actually I love the comfort zone and I would like to go back into it. Also that I must draw more tigers.

“Chipmunk tasting almonds for the first time”

(via)

[religion-is-a-mental-illness]

An interesting demonstration of how the human brain works.

But also something of a lesson regarding perception, and the unreliability of subjective perspective versus objective reality.

You can be extremely certain about how you perceive the world, your "lived experience," that which you "feel it in my heart." But that doesn't mean it's actually true. And it doesn't mean we have to endorse it, or ignore or outright deny objective reality.

That's a "you" thing, not a "we" thing.

Random writing thought: the best stories are often the ones that only you could have written — but also the ones that you could only write at this one moment.

I couldn't write All the Birds in the Sky from scratch now if I tried. But the me of 2013 couldn't have written The Prodigal Mother either.

[neil-gaiman]

When people ask if I'd change anything about a book I've already written, I want to explain to them that I'm not the person who wrote that book any longer, and even if I tried right now I'd write a different one. Everything you make as a writer* is a combination of what you want to say and who you are at the time you are telling that story.

*possibly also as an artist or as a human being

This is the link from the video. It’s important that we try to take action. Don’t buy chocolate that may be connected with slavery. In the link there’s also information about slavery free chocolate.

End child labor in the cobalt and cocoa industries.

[anarkissa]

On chocolate, coffee, tea, other products coming from the global south: if you can afford it, buy only products with some kind of a certificate that demonstrates the product has been ethically produced (and this has been verified by an outside agency), such as the Fairtrade, UTZ or Rainforest Alliance certificate.

But also beware that some producers have made up their own certificates, with no outside oversight. These essentially fake certificates include Cocoa Life, the certificate invented by Mondelez – one of the companies listed behind the link for using slave labour, who stopped using Rainforest Alliance certified cocoa and switched to their own certificate instead.

[leepacey]

here’s a list of companies who use fair trade chocolate:

Clif Bar

Tony’s Chocoloneley

Ben & Jerry’s

Aloha Feels

Newman’s Own Organics

The Endangered Species Chocolate

Dagoba Organic Chocolate

Starbucks

Aldi’s brand

Green & Blacks

Sappho Chocolates

Larabar

full list of ethical companies in the carrd above

and a list of companies who knowingly use slave labor to make their chocolate:

Hershey’s

Mars (M&M, Snickers, Dove, etc)

Mondelez (part of Kraft) (Cadbury, Toblerone, Oreos)

Nestle

Lindt

Godiva

Ghirardelli

As an addition: if you purchase Newman's Own, 100% of their profits go to charity. Paul Newman was a real guy, and a very good one.

hi mr. neil, hope you're doing well.

i don't know if you're aware of the news about Brianna Ghey, but if you are, I know a lot of us could use some words of wisdom. or just any words, really. if i had the right words i'd write them, but all i feel right now is devastated.

sorry to bother you

I'm devastated too.

There's a trans Day of Remembrance for a reason. I hope Brianna Ghey is remembered long after her killers and the people who inspired them or egged them on are long forgotten.

I wrote this page of Sandman 32 years ago:

I hoped when I wrote it that three decades later we would have moved on. That deadnaming would be a sad historical fact. Instead I'm seeing the UK and the Murdoch Media targeting trans people and generally stoking real hatred, helped by sad or evil or just misguided people with their own prejudices or axes to grind.

its always "what are your plans for the future, you should really be planning for the future" and never "wow that character you're obsessed with sounds so cool can you explain them to me. im sure you get them more than anyone else"

Y'ALL I FOUND A GOOD PLANT WEBSITE

[headspace-hotel]

Oh my god how have I not found this before. It lets you toggle between photos of the flowers, leaves, fruits and seeds. It shows a map of where the plant is native. It gives you links to like 12 websites with more info about the plant. Amazing

[headspace-hotel]

This website was made by this one guy who is a nerd about flowers

[headspace-hotel]

I've only tried to look in the USA so it may not have other areas but this is one of the best resources I've found

[headspace-hotel]

(there are a LOT of photographers, biologists and botanists who have contributed to it)
