MANIFESTING

[homunculus-argument]

Congratulations to everyone who decided to do the annual January Challenge this year: successfully getting through every single day of January.

[ms-hells-bells]

that is exactly my point of view. if all people were given universal basic income, we could have tens of thousands of boring, tedious, dangerous, and long term harmful jobs done by robots, while humans are free to explore their passions without fear of poverty and homelessness.

in a good society, automation means a boom in the arts. language, painting, music, dance, writing, philosophy, architecture, etc. these are the sectors that advance tremendously during periods of human health and flourishing

[bellfry]

Back in the 1960s, we were told that automation and rising productivity would mean shorter work weeks with higher pay. Instead we have multibillionaires, growing poverty, and crumbling infrastructure. The money is all there, it’s just being hoarded.

if you are trans/nb, how did you pick your name?

A geek nonsense word that came out of a surrealist comic from the 30s misinterpreting some badly transliterated Chinese, plus random letters added by a bug on an 8 bit computer's cost saving measure where they wired the joystick into the keyboard matrix.

(and for a last name, the gay man who invented Computers in order to defeat the Nazis)

[gravelcos]

M a n.

First name: Got too attached to the main serious yet aloof android man in the storyline of the “free android-kind or follow your code” game. :’)

Middle name: “yoU’VE KNOWN ME YOUR ENTIRE LIFE YOUR NAME IS JAMES BUCHANAN BAR—“

Last name: Just kept my family name because Italian brain said so dnakfhd

hey kids following me seriously don’t smoke…i know the commercials are fucking annoying but that doesn’t make it worth it and quitting is hard, i haven’t had a cig in like six months and i still get bad cravings and think about smoking every other day

[yurimom]

that includes vaping, ESPECIALLY cheap vapes you buy online from like e-bay. If you’re going to vape then get a good-quality one from a reputable source otherwise it can hurt you really badly. But don’t start a nicotine addiction if you don’t already have one. It’s really, really not worth it. I’m not going to use scare tactics or bash you or talk down to you if you already smoke or vape but it’s just some friendly advice.

[yurimom]

People are reblogging this with tags like “why would you have a nicotine addiction, idiots, its boring/only for edgy points, smoke weed instead” and that just so utterly misses the point of my post…I didn’t start smoking for “edgy points”, I started because I grew up around a family that smokes, I was stressed as hell, and just that first cig made me feel better in the moment. 

I get what you’re trying to say but you have to understand that there are kids who grow up on tobacco, there are kids who don’t know how else to cope, there are kids who think it’s a small way to rebel against someone who hasn’t treated them fairly. Most of these kids are in poverty or are seriously struggling. It’s not fair to label them as nothing but attention seeking morons.

This falls into the category of “making kids feel like shit for smoking” which you shouldn’t do. It only breeds resentment and kids don’t deserve to feel that way. 

[silverjirachi]

in full disclosure when i was at my worst mental health wise i debated starting to smoke every day exactly because i KNEW it was harmful and it would just bring me slowly closer to death

please, PLEASE take care of yourselves.

[looney-toons]

let me stress one more time: smoking is addiction. no matter what it is: tobacco, vape, weed - there are serious concequences to your health (and money), and it’s quite hard to stop doing it.

you don’t want to spend time smoking while you could spend doing something else, even if it’s nothing.

you don’t want to smoke in designated areas or outside, especially if weather is raging with all its might and its the only place you can smoke (not to mention the inevitable littering).

you don’t want to smoke in your home, where it can take awhile to vent it (and if you don’t, guess what - second hand smoking is still toxic for your health).

you don’t want to debate with yourself whether you should spend money on food or on smoking.

if you smoked for awhile, you must build the nerves of steel to resist doing again, and dark days will be waiting for you to fail.

there are people allergic to smoke - they can’t be around you when you smoke (hell, imagine if you’re one of them and you’re smoking).

it’s better to never start smoking - it’s easier and better choice in long run (and for every idiot that pressures you to start smoking - tell them to fuck themselves with whatever they smoke).

[puttingherinhistory]

Don’t start smoking unless you want to ruin every long flight or long train ride or anything where you’re forced to be inside for a long period of time and unable to smoke. Smoking makes these situations like long flights, train rides, or anything that makes you stuck inside for a while complete agony. Don’t start in the first place.

[brokenribs]

Trans kids please pay attention!

If you’re currently on HRT or planning to get surgery, smoking can be *especially* dangerous and may prevent you from receiving that care.

Smoking while taking feminizing hormones exponentially increases your risk of cancer. Why? Because your breast tissue (which is right above your lungs) is growing, which requires more oxygen & blood. If you’re smoking, that oxygen can contain carcinogens, which will now be stored in all that brand new tissue.

Smoking while on estrogen also increases the risk of blood clots & heart attack

Nicotine REDUCES the circulation of estrogen, so it can essentially nullify your hormones.

Being a smoker puts you at higher risk during surgery by minimizing circulation, which can lead to infection and even tissue death.

Tobacco companies *specifically* target the LGBT+ community (e.g. pride events, bars, etc) because they know we are 1. less likely to quit 2. face higher levels of stress 3. are less likely to have health insurance

Please know, I’m not sharing this information as scare tactic, but rather trans folks are often not given this information or have providers who aren’t aware of it.

You matter. Your body and health matters. We’re here for you ❤

[templepriest-motherfucker]

Smoking and vaping is fucking rampant among people with EDs so

[the-unicorniest]

was unaware of those last two bits. and to my followers, PLEASE don’t start. its totally not worth it. I come from a family of smokers and had my experiences with it too. not fun in the slightest and just ends badly if you let it continue.

Hi!!

I haven’t.. said anything here in forever, and I don’t like self promotions when it comes to myself, but–

This is for the CaeJose fans!! I’m writing an angsty story on Wattpad (spoiler and trigger warnings just in case) and it would mean a lot if you could check it out and tell me what you think! I’ll link it here.

Hey everyone!!

I’m.. still not really one that likes promoting myself, pfft, but I finished the final chapter for this story, and it’d mean a lot to me if you’d check it out!! I started it back on August 23rd of 2020, and finally finished it this morning of April 6th, 2021!! I’m really happy with how much I got written into it. It took up almost 28 full pages on a Google Document for the outline, and oh BOY I didn’t realize I had that much to put into this. But please, check this out, and let me know what you think if you’d like!! I don’t usually get a lot of comments on my writing since I’m better known as a small artist than a writer (at least, I think I am??). Feedback let’s me know that I’ve done good, and it may give me more ideas for possible future stories!! Thank you so much for your time! :)

If I catch any of you dressing up as something racist for Halloween you’re getting B O N K E D.

[gravelcos]

I feel like a bunch of memories were ripped straight from my hands just hours ago. It still hurts a lot.

[gravelcos]

So if alternate universes exist, which one do I have serotonin in because I JUST want to talk.

[radicel-archive]

fuck it

i dont want girls sexualising mlm relationships anymore. at all

i dont want them fetishizing our relationships bc they think it’s sexy

i dont care if its a “way for them to express their sexuality”. that aint right and its messed that they can say that they want men in the porn industry to stop fetishizing wlw relationships, only to do the same bc its “fandom”

[radicel-archive]

can yall please reblog this actually ??

bc like. im a boy attracted to boys. and this is making me uncomfortable and i want it to stop

and im not the only one ? a handful of people have agreed with me and im sure there are more

please dont ignore this bc you want to keep writing/drawing/reading m/m porn…. or bc im a boy and you dont care what i have to say….. especially if you disagree with the treatment of wlw in the porn industry its a double standard and this is important to me and i dont want it to be swept under the rug

[transboybrock]

Add on: you can still write, draw and read about mlm without fetishizing them. By fetishization, OP means that you only see these relationships as sexy and sinful instead of just seeing it as average everyday relationships.

Nearly every girl I’ve met within fandoms with mlm ships has only focused on the men having sex or calling them ‘my nasty gay babies’ and that’s just gross.

[theinkstainsblog]

We’re all writers here so I thought it important that y’all see this and take note. 

[lgbtqhelpandsupport]

^^^ yes. I’m a boy who likes boys and even has multiple gay ships. But please don’t fetishize mlm relationships as ONLY sexy and sinful.

[cryptspren-moved]

ts sides fandom read this & take it to FUCKING heart :)))))

[kit-kat-astrophe]

Mlm relationships are RELATIONSHIPS, like any heteronormative one, not a plot point to write porn. There’s other ideas involved, not just “two dudes gonna frick”.

For writers: Think of it like any good (hetero) romance book that ACTUALLY develops the relationship. It should be pretty much the same concept!!
