Down the Circling Spiral We Go!

[Sorrel | Adult | mirror/any pronouns] @sorrel-schematonics's casual blog! Mostly reblogs and rambling about my own interests.

[renthony]

You won't get media with messier, more nuanced, more realistic queer characters if you keep flying off the handle the second a fictional character has sex, does drugs, swears too much, or acts vaguely like an asshole.

You won't get more diverse queer media with wider stories if you can't handle it when queer artists make art that is raunchy, crude, edgy, and gross.

You won't get more diverse queer media if you shut everything down the second it does something you, personally, get squicked out by.

You will never get more diverse queer media if you contribute to the way queer media is picked apart, raked over the coals, and held to unreasonably high standards.

You will never get what you want if you keep tearing queer artists down for their weird experimental art instead of learning how to say, "this isn't for me, that's fine, and I'll be over here in my own space."

perhaps some will disagree, but i think the world got worse when we changed the colour of the night

[strongermonster]

To be clear, THIS is how nights of the future should be lit

This is bat friendly street lighting, which not only looks sick as fuck but allows bats to pass through without disturbance, as they cannot see red.

orange and especially white lights deter bats and prevent them from reaching feeding grounds at nighttime. Please if you can, write to your local council and encourage red street lights!!!!

[anarchistmemedistro]

ALSO! red light doesn’t fuck up human night vision much so you can go in and out of lit areas without readjusting

red light gang rise up

Ohh, so I was looking at my storage and found these! I originally shared them on twitter before yeeting the platform. Anyway, feel free to use! Art memes for your oc :D

Attack for @sorrel-schematonics !!!

[official-lucifers-child]

hey, if you struggle with “reading comprehension” (it doesn’t matter how or why) then there is nothing wrong with going back to basics and reading kids/teen books, or books that are english-class-favourites like to kill a mockingbird, maus, fahrenheit-451, etc. all of those books will have quizlets and discussions on them that will help you learn to read beyond the literal material of the book, and honestly they’re good books so i’d recommend reading them anyway!! i know we joke a lot about reading comprehension being “piss poor” so i thought i’d try to help the situation by giving a possible solution. i can compile a list of books and resources if anyone wants.

this video has been going around for a while but the English subtitles didn't match the energy of the spoken French at all. i had to fix it.

im. im fucking wheezing i just now noticed i had this exact same post idea drafted a year ago that i completely forgot about. speak of the devil huh

[wizardarchetypes]

i love the framing of the song dirty paws by of monsters and men. like: i’m jumping around and i’m an animal. oh btw there’s this other animal I wanna tell you about. he had a son. the son was alright i guess yeah. he mowed the lawn. anyway. he had a dragonfly as a pet. it ran away one time but actually it came back and—oh the dragonfly can talk btw that’s important—so anyway it came back and it told the lawn-mowing son a story. yeah we don’t know if the dragonfly witnessed the events of the story itself or if it only heard the story from someone else. but anyway, you know the birds and the bees? yeah, not the way you’re thinking. they were at war actually—

you're going about your normal day when, suddenly, surprise! you've been pokémon mystery dungeon'd!

unfortunately, due to budget cuts, the pokémon assigning quiz has been canceled. instead, you must spin THE WHEEL, assigning you a random, unevolved, non-legendary and non-mythical pokémon. you must now go on some sort of world-saving adventure as this pokémon. good luck!

tell me in the tags what you rolled, and how you feel about it - for bonus points, you can spin the wheel again for (or just take your pick of) a pokémon to be your partner.

bonus rules:

you're not shiny unless the wheel tells you you're shiny

take your pick of regional forms and evolutions (for example, if you roll vulpix, it's up to you whether that means normal or alolan vulpix)

apply whatever logic you like with regards to gender

have fun and be yourself!

Vetted fundraiser masterpost-masterpost.

This is a collection of links to various posts concerning fundraisers I've vetted and instructions on how to submit fundraisers to me. These are primarily ones for Ghazzan families although some fundraisers for Sudanese families are also listed (I'm more familiar with my own country's politics and dialect and am more capable of vetting fundraisers for Palestinians as a result). Each post will have a time stamp indicating the latest date of update. And fundraisers will have colour-coded disclaimers according to the particularities of their case.

I know that people do not like clicking on links or navigating between posts, but please actually look through these posts and choose a fundraiser to donate to. Please.

Instructions on how to submit a fundraiser. (for those not Ghazzan) تعليمات لتقديم طلب توثيق و نشر حملات التبرعات الخاصة بالغزاويين و عائلاتهم (للغزاويين فقط) سأنشر البوست قريبا

List of fundraisers for direct contacts from Ghazzah & Sudan. - PRIORITY.

Vetted family evacuation fundraisers list 1. - Particularities Listed.

Vetted family evacuation fundraisers list 2.

Unvetted but highly likely legitimate fundraisers.

‼️‼️

If you're having trouble keeping up with what's going on in Palestine because of US news coverage of university protests, here are some articles you can read and a video you can watch:

Media Statement   23 April 2024   Discovery of mass graves at Nasser Hospital in Gaza   South Africa is appalled by the recent grim discover

Spokesperson says some bodies allegedly had their hands tied while others were bound and stripped

While CNN & all the other mainstream media try to paint the university protests as "pro terrorism" (which they're not, they're literally anti-war protests.) Palestinians are being slaughtered by the minute.

Please don't stop speaking about Palestine.
