99% of queer discourse stops right before they define the true difference between bisexual and pansexual!
FOR THE LAST FUCKING TIME
BISEXUALS GROW FROM THE GROUND
PANSEXUALS GROW FROM THE CEILING
You can remember this with the handy mnemonic: (b)isexual - (b)round, (p)ansexual- (p)eiling.

My first Magic the Gathering card was revealed yesterday! Thank you AD Jameela Wahlgren for the trust and guidance.
im gonna say something controversial, but the same way we expect americans to learn about cultures of the places they're visiting you need to be aware of american culture when you visit usa too.
and ofc im talking about tipping culture. idgaf if it's fucked up that we have to tip bc their employers don't pay them enough, YOU KNOW this is expected of you, you KNOW this is part of their culture, and YOU KNOW that not tipping will affect them negatively.
it's is disrespectful to walk into someone's house in japan without taking your shoes off and it is disrespectful to not tip in america.
Just to shout this to the rest of Americans who don’t tip too. It’s not about customer service or saying they did a good job.
It’s literally their pay.
I’m not joking. I have friends who were servers. They made $3.25 an hour. That’s way less than the already ridiculously low minimum wage of $7.25.
Some states have laws that allow employers to pay less to employees who ‘work for tips’. And it’s legal. Completely legal wage theft. You should always tip in these states especially. It’s ridiculous and unfair.
It shouldn’t be happening but it is so suck it up and fucking tip 20%.
in regards to my previous tags (the ones restated in the tags of this reblog) it's worst than I thought
i need you guys to look at this fuckign post
You were alive here — fearful and wild and beautiful.
The United States government is literally disappearing people to a gulag with no due process and yet it's the stock market crash that has finally pissed conservatives off.
the other 25% shouldn't be in mega-prison either, btw
Saw this on Twitter and I obligatory need to share it
So she actually said that she does not see the appeal in Senshi at all and that the panty shots weren't intended to be horny - she just has a neighbor who looks kind of like him and does laundry in his underwear. Which she finds kind of weird and offputting, and put into his character to be funny.
But that's the thing. She doesn't exaggerate or grotesqueify or alter people's bodies to fit some standard. (Except insofar as she draws different species differently, and those are exquisitely practiced to ensure they have the same diversity of appearances that humans do.) She just presents people exactly as they are, complexities and oddities and all.
It just so happens that when you present people exactly as they are, what you present will be beautiful and alluring to many. Even the things you yourself might find weird and offputting. Honestly I think it's a touching example of how you don't have to see the beauty in everyone for the beauty to be there, simple honesty is enough to let the wonder of people's humanity shine through.
#i think we should put this post next to the interview where she said she doesn't want to eat the food in the series cuz she's a picky eater#and file them both under 'you don't know an artist from their work'#and maybe you don't need to!#maybe all you need to know is that ryoko kui is Good At What She Does#idk I don't like the implication that artists (and women especially?) can only create from personal life and feelings#some people have imagination and craft#kind of a tangent but. there you go.
no but you're very correct
I've reblogged this before and I'm going to do it again because it really, really, REALLY cannot be emphasized enough that you do not know who an artist is just based on their work.
I could trot out any number of pop culture saints who have turned out to be monsters, which is perhaps the big reason why you should be wary of projecting what you see in a person's work onto the person who made it. You get taken advantage of, sometimes in horrifying ways.
But on the less horrifying side, this is also just... one of the things that's really cool and arguably the POINT of art?
Ryoko Kui draws things that don't appeal personally to her with a deep dedication to craft, and that dedication creates images and artwork which appeals deeply to the people who ARE into whatever it is she is drawing.
She has no idea what it's like to be a person who is into bara hairy men, and yet she makes images that sing like music to that exact group of people. Isn't that fucking magic? Isn't that enough?

"y'all's" is the best regional solution to the english second person plural possessive problem but "your guyses" is my favorite because it sucks
So anyways with the rapid rise of fascism I feel it’s a good time to point out that it’s perfectly legal to follow unjust orders slowly, badly, or inefficiently
Breaking the law, even an unjust law, has consequences that not all can afford. But also a very large number of us are also very stupid, or very confused, or very lazy, and so it’s not unreasonable that someone at the bottom of the chain of command might make a typo, or misplace some paperwork, or leave a Friday afternoon email for Monday morning.
When something goes wrong, or an operation slows down, because a low-level worker somewhere sent a package to the wrong address or left someone on hold for an hour or didn’t fill out a particular form correctly- Do you immediately assume malicious intent? Or do you usually just brush it off as some underpaid idiot being bad at their job?
You also gotta not brag about it. Keep your political opinions on the down low. Be noncommittal or ignorant or undecided. Say things like “I’ve never heard of that”, “where did you hear that?” or “that’s interesting, I heard a conflicting story from here, how weird”. Never be outwardly confidant of what you know. When there is a silence, don’t fill it- leave the space and let the other fill it for you. That’s how you get information, that’s how you find sources, that’s how you reduce the value of anything others get out of you.
Virtue signalling by wearing pins and ribbons and loudly declaring your place is not safe in some environments. It will place scrutiny on you and everything you touch. Nobody believes the guy who says “fuck my boss and everything he stands for” scratches the boss’s car by accident, even if it is an accident.
If you want to slow the march of a tank, filling the path with mud is going do more than laying down in front of it.
draw it bad and draw it weird and draw it catered only to yourself and draw it wobbly and draw it too small and draw it with the default brush and draw it without using references and draw it and leave it unfinished and draw it for the first time and draw it
youre literally allowed to do anything u want forever. i hope this helps

didnt expect to be talking abt starbucks so much after i quit but it just keeps getting worse
8 human trafficking survivors are suing Starbucks, exposing years of forced labor and child labor. the article starts with the story of a man who was enslaved at age 16 and was just rescued last year. if nothing else has convinced you to boycott, please let this sway you...
it also says the NGO CoffeeWatch is filing a complaint with US Customs and Border Protection attempting to block these corporations from importing coffees produced wholly or in part by slave labor in Brazil.
but this isn't unique to Starbucks, this is the unspoken truth of many of our goods in the west, relying on the exploitation of people in the global south. i pray all the survivors secure a massive payout, but still.. i cant imagine anything would ever make up for this kind of treatment.
and i know a lot of people read headlines and not necessarily the whole article so I want to highlight a quote from Santos Filho at the end
"To put an end to this, we need consumers to be aware that every cup of coffee they drink, without questioning its true origin, is financing slave labour in coffee production. It's no use feeling sympathy for the workers or claiming zero tolerance for such practices if you continue drinking coffee without questioning its source."
The problem with trying to get people quit drinking coffee for moral reasons is most regular coffee drinkers are addicts (caffeine is addictive, addicts are not bad even outside of coffee drinkers) which makes it hard to actually get people to stop.
I'm not trying to get anyone to quit drinking coffee, I'm trying to get them to think critically and investigate what they're buying and where it's coming from, and at the very least try not to fund slave labor and child labor. This is not just about coffee either but nearly all of our imports in the west.
