Here to fuck around, find myself wanting to vent and spam and yap a lot but my old blog feels weirdly sacred so here I am!

I like roller skating, dungeon meshi, the x files, whatever it is Hank Green gets up to, and old sci-fi!

Minors dni, I would like the freedom to occasionally hornypost. I will try to tag but no promises :p

people talk all the time about “primal instincts” and it’s usually about violence or sexual temptations or something, but your humanity comes with a lot of different stuff that we do without really thinking about, that we do without being told to or prompted to

your average human comes pre-installed with instincts to:

Befriend

Tell story

Make Thing

Investigate

Share knowledge

Laugh

Sing

Dance

Empathize with

Create

we are chalk full of survival instincts that revolve around connecting to others (dog-shaped others, robot-shaped, sometimes even plant-shaped) and making things with our hands

your primal instincts are not bathed in blood- they are layered in people telling stories to each other around a fire over and over and putting devices together through trial and error over and over and reaching for someone and something every moment of the way

~“Your primal instincts are not bathed in blood.”

My god this is beautiful. Such a refreshing change of pace to the constant glorification of instinctual human violence.

Primal Human Instinct pack also includes bonus instincts such as:

imitating weird noises made by other animals

playing with water

the urge to eat anything brightly colored and jelly-like

touching things that look like they will move in a funny way

seeing faces in literally everything, including toast

jumping up to see if you can bap the top of that doorway

saying ‘ow’ when something unexpected happens, even if it doesn’t hurt

you'll feel like a total dipshit train wreck and no matter what some girl is gonna see you and think "role model". you can't kill yourself you have to go be clocky in the gas station so a 14 year old can have the trajectory of her life altered forever

as annoying as it is to work fast food, at my previous job one time a kid recognized the theta delta pin on my hat and was so fucking excited because i was the first other therian they had ever encountered offline.

"hey....are you a therian?" "yeah!" "what kind of animal?" "eh, some kinda dog" "😲😀 im like a wolf coyote hybrid" "that's fuckin awesome"

to be weird is to cast lifelines all around you

what really drives me nuts is that like. this happens an average of x times per year as a visibly weird person, but we only get made aware of it a small fraction of the time. you can't kill yourself you have to be clocky in the gas station.

Being clocky when i was working as a barista was one of my big joys. Being clocky when i was teaching high schoolers how to play the marimba was my reason for being for half a decade. It sucks how scared I am to leave the house I live in now. But I still need to try and be clocky at the grocery store. I wish i had a job to be clocky at. Being visibly me is one of the most radical acts I'm capable of, and I hope that one day we live in a world where it isn't radical at all.

that's exactly what I was feeling when I wrote this. we all find ways to defy our fear, love is an excellent motivator.

Anybody I catch bitching about Rainbow Capitalism this year is getting blocked, no exceptions. Learn to read the fucking room or die by my sword.

#I am so glad other people are seeing the vision here. like the absence of pride this year is such a terrifying barometer #the climate around us has changed so drastically. we are reentering the point of it being a sort of radical stance to support us.#maybe a bit of sheltered bias but this is how I remember the world feeling growing up. when protecting marriage equality was coming up-#-in the us. When supporting us was controversial and had urgent importance. When it was a financial risk #I didn't really miss the feeling

Walter Gripp: I’m the last man on this abandoned planet, I can only surround myself with soulless creature comforts as to not lose my grip in reality, but how I long for human connection and comfort from another- a woman, in my wildest dreams….

Unless she’s, like, a total uggo or some fatty, am I right?

#i <3 the book but. yeahhhhhh #the treatment of women is very yikes.#how sad that with such brilliant imagination of such inventive worlds and futures. bradbury still couldn't imagine a world where people who #look like me are of any importance #agency ambition. anything at all #rip king you had blindspots in your worldview the size of mars #the comments about vonnugat are so real I gotta reread slaughter house 5. I remember loving it but nothing stuck sadly

...there is a gulf between you and other men, and my most painful torture, I can tell you, is to make comparisons. There is no one in the world your equal; there is nothing that resembles you.

I’m reading Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles right now and like… it’s all really lovely prose and I’m enjoying it, but also the stories are driving me crazy because so far it’s like:

1. “We landed on Mars and immediately got killed by a Martian for telepathically hitting it off with his hot Martian housewife.”

2. “We landed on Mars, told the Martians we’re from earth, and their immediate reactions consisted of yelling ‘get out of my house’ and institutionalizing us.”

3. “Messed up. Didn’t hit Mars. In Illinois somehow.”

3A. “OH FUCK IT’S NOT ILLINOIS.”

4. “You get to Mars. All the Martians are dead from Chicken Pox.

4A. You develop an intense attachment to the lost civilization.

4B. You murder 5 of your crewmates because they are assholes messing up the remains of a civilization markedly similar but more emotionally and spiritually resonant than ours.

4C. You have a homoerotically charged exchange with your captain about how fucked up human colonialism and industry is and semi-convince him that you are right but still he’s gotta shoot you because, y’know you murdered your crewmates. Happens to the best of us.”
