The moment atsumu fell in love. Can we even blame him.

[spacelabrathor]

something so unbelievably magical about the dynamic between atsumu and hinata when they're shipped together

because atsumu is so full of hot air lol. he's all bluster and swagger and confidence in the most annoying way - he armors himself against his insecurities with this put on persona of smug arrogance and smooth, effortless cool that is probably so infuriating to anyone facing him across the net or even standing with him on the same side. he's the type to respond to someone saying he's talented with a sly lil grin and an "I know" but he won't mean it, not actually. he won't internalize it because really, atsumu sees himself as flawed and not good enough and wanting always.

but here comes hinata, who is just overflowing with genuine sincerity and adoration for atsumu. who fullheartedly and truly BELIEVES that atsumu is as awesome as he fronts that he is. hinata who gasps and praises at every amazing set atsumu gives him, hinata tells atsumu constantly that he's incredible. and there's no loaded expectations with that praise, no unspoken but implied threat or pressure for atsumu to measure up, it's just hinata saying what he sees and what he feels which is that atsumu is utterly incredible in every way.

and i just think of how that must make atsumu feel. atsumu puts on the annoying, cocky armor on purpose, because he'd rather people be annoyed with him than see him as unworthy. because he'd rather be perceived as a a dickhead with a god complex than someone who is terrified of failing to measure up.

i think of how it must have knocked atsumu on his ass the first time he said "yeah, i'm amazing" to hinata, fully expecting the standard eye roll and shove response his inarizaku teammates would have given him, but instead he gets the light of the sun coming from hinata's expression as he nods and wholeheartedly agrees with atsumu, tells him again how incredible he is, even as atsumu stares bewildered at his face and tries to understand why seeing it is making his stomach do weird things.

an imperfect ally is better than a perfect bystander

[ironinkpen]

the old boomer who "doesn't get the gays" but still votes blue every election is still a better ally to you than every well-spoken, woke millennial who says all the right shit but didn't vote because they "didn't like either option"

the lady who voted for trump but has changed her mind since and is calling her senator every day is a better ally to you than anyone very politely apologizing for how awful things are and not doing anything to actually help

[sweaterkittensahoy]

Give me the granny who only started re-thinking her feelings when her beloved grandkid came out as trans over anyone who can spout queer theory but gatekeeps transmascs at every step.

I'll take the unlearning-trying-my-best messy allies over the my-ass-smells-like-roses-because-i've-read-marx-seventeen-times "perfect" community member any fucking day.

Trump’s attempt to weaponize a centuries-old law for mass removals just hit a major roadblock.

The courts are doing their job—now Democrats in Congress need to step up.

This is why Trump & Republicans pushed so hard to get so many judges appointed--not just the ones vetted by Congress, but there were many others that the POTUS can simply appoint directly.

They were trying to prevent good judges from taking up the vacated positions they were trying to stuff with their law-breaking patsies.

They will continue to try to stuff bad judges into any & all positions they can.

Judge Boasberg is a good person, thankfully.

We got lucky, this time.

So earlier in art class today, someone drew a characters hands in their pockets and mentioned that hands are really like the ultimate end boss of art, and most of us wholeheartedly agreed. So then, our teacher went ahead and free handed like a handful of hands on the board, earning a woah from a couple of students. So the one from earlier mentioned how it barely took the teacher ten seconds to do what I can’t do in three hours. And you know what he responded?

“It didn’t take me ten seconds, it took me forty years.”

And you know, that stuck with me somehow. Because yeah. Drawing a hand didn’t take him fourth years. But learning and practicing to draw a hand in ten seconds did. And I think there’s something to learn there but it’s so warm and my brain is fried so I can’t formulate the actual morale of the lesson.

[kazoosandfannypacks]

Saying "I'm not going to draw this thing because I don't know how to draw this thing" is really shooting yourself in the foot, because you've now cut yourself off from an opportunity to grow.

I had a friend in college who was an absolutely amazing artist. I loved seeing his work! One time I said something to the effect of "I could never do that."

He told me something that, as an artist, I resonate with. He said art isn't about natural talent; it's a learned skill. When you tell an artist their level of skill is impossible for you to reach, you're assuming their level of skill is a natural gifting they have, and it discredits the hundreds to thousands of hours of hard work they've put into getting where they are today, and you're cutting yourself off from trying to reach that point yourself.

[what-hos-there]

I don't remember where I heard this but I wish I could, because it stuck with me:

Talent is THE RATE at which you learn things, not whether or not you can learn certain skills at all.

And that suddenly clicked for me. I have been very talented with a lot of things in my life and once I realized that I had basically been getting XP multipliers on my normal life experiences, it suddenly felt so much less awful to realize that I did not have the same advantage with other skills I struggle with, and that's okay. I might even have some debuffs on those, and that's okay. It's still all gaining as long as I keep working on it!!

Kathryn Hahn, she’s a friend of mine; I’ve known her for years. We shared a couple moments onscreen in ‘Parks and Recreation’ 10 years ago, but I’ve never gotten to work with her, really. She’s one of the most incredible actresses that’s working today. She’s a friend of mine. She speaks my language. To be able to get onscreen with her and go toe-to-toe with her is what’s driving me. I think it's cool that it's Marvel and all that, but I'm really just interested to work with Kathryn Hahn.

Yo, correct me if I am wrong please, but didn't Hitler rise to power because he promised to fix the German economy and people really liked that so they looked past everything else he was doing??? Like exactly what's happening in America right now???

So many people said they voted for Trump, put a truly evil person in power, because he said he'd fix the economy, and a little voice in my head is going, "Isn't that what happened with fucking Hitler??"

But I've seen no one point that out so maybe I'm miss remembering???????

Everyone in America right now who has Studied History and knows the Portents of Doom:

[ryan-sometimes]

It’s wild to me to see transvestigator conspiracy theories online that could be so easily explained by natural human variation. That woman has a deep voice? Yeah, sometimes they do. A woman has broad shoulders?? Maybe she plays rugby or hits the gym a fuckton. There’s a “bulge” in her tight pants?? Maybe her vulva is just fat. All the “markers” of trans woman that transvestigators use to harass any woman aren’t even things unique to trans women.

[ryan-sometimes]

Transphobes talk about women like they’re Barbies. Have you forgotten the existence of cameltoe? Tiny boobs? Narrow hips? Broad shoulders? Why do you think choirs have altos and not just sopranos? What do you think female athletes look like? Do you think a woman that lifts weights and plays contact sports will look like a 90s supermodel? At what point in history did we collectively forget that human bodies have natural variability???
