A sketch sheet to explore Nirin’s (fa) creature concept. She has a mix of lizard, dragon and raptor influences in her design. And can switch between bipedal and quadrupedal stances. Pretty fun to try and figure out!

Learning that the problem with my ear was that stomach acid was getting in there. Weird. I forgot that the mouth and ears are connected tbh.

[hunkychewbacca]

Wait what?

[what-even-is-thiss]

I forget what it’s called but there’s tubes that connect your ear canals to your nose and mouth and I was getting burning feelings in my ear and jaw pain on my left side that I didn’t understand but apparently it’s because stomach acid was getting in there while I slept on my side.

I’ve had problems with these tubes for my whole life just due to like idk the way my body is formed. They can’t really be fixed. My whole body is moderately lopsided. The ones on the right side are too narrow which leads to that ear getting plugged a lot and the ones on the left are too wide which leads to stuff from my mouth and nose getting in there and causing ear infections.

Despite having these issues I still manage to forget that I have them lol. My right ear being plugged sometimes is just a part of my life I don’t think about much anymore.

I’ve never had stomach acid get in there before though which is why this issue was so confusing.

I had a phone appointment with my doctor about it and I’m gonna start taking an h2 inhibitor and eating more fiber before bed to control my stomach acid a bit better. We don’t want acid slowly damaging my inner ears after all.

Anyways add to the weird list of things that can happen apparently

those devious Eustachian tubes

THE EEL SKIN TEXTURE IS FACES. I just noticed this while I was adding these images to the wiki.

REMEMBER WAYYYYY BACK IN THE DAY WHEN I SAID THE BLOOD REMINDED ME OF MINECRAFT SOUL SAND BECAUSE THERE WERE WEIRD FUCKING FACES IN THE TEXTURES????? LOOK:

God I LOVE calling shit. I said this out of my ass earlier because I remembered in the theater that some of the blood growths on the inside of the submersible looked weirdly like skulls. Low and behold, here comes our lord and savior Deadlymelodic.

The blood takes the shape of a human visage in the same way honey crystalizes into hexagons. What a horrible thought.

I saw this video about a doctor who performed an MRI on a 5 year old and discovered she essentially had “brain damage” from excessive iPad use, as the white matter in her brain couldn’t form properly due to an understimulated environment.

Hmm it’s almost like there’s supposed to be adult figures responsible for monitoring her screen time and making sure she develops properly… certainly this isn’t the result of neglect at the hands of her parents…

[rottingtrouble-child]

“This 5 year old is brain damaged by excessive iPad use”

Translation: This 5 year old is developmentally impaired by neglectful parents who used an iPad as a stand-in for social and environmental stimulation / interaction for hours at a time during critical early stages of child development. The iPad is the cop-out.

[rottingtrouble-child]

“Children don’t have the strength to hold pencils anymore because they only use screens.”

Translation: Parents aren’t making the conscious effort to help their children develop necessary skills and letting iPads raise them.

When are people going to realize the iPads and whatnot are the instruments through which the neglect is happening through and not the cause? How the fuck do you let your child have such a severe lack of physical strength in their hands that they can’t hold a pencil properly?

[rottingtrouble-child]

People will see a study suggesting children with higher screen times have poorer or negative developmental outcomes and immediately say it’s the screens causing this, and not the more likely fact that higher screen time = less engagement time with their environment, physical exercise, parents, family, and their peers, all of which are NECESSARY for a healthy upbringing as a social species.

It’s like saying a dog who was kept in a cage all its life and left with atrophied muscles was damaged by the cage, and not by the fact its owners were too lazy to play or walk their dog in order for its muscles to build properly. The cage is the instrument of neglect and the owners are the perpetrators, in the same way parents are the perpetrators and weaponizing screen time as an excuse and painting themselves as helpless bystanders.

I've known a number of non binary people in my life and I think single biggest conclusion I can draw from that is that non binary people are not the same. Like if Men fit in box A and women fit in box B, people really, really want nonbinary people to fit in a theoretical box C, and it just doesn't work like that. They are outside the boxes. They defy any simple categorization because they are not a third way of being, but every other possible way of being.

Being supportive of binary people is relatively simple, they have decided to sort themselves into one of the boxes that we have lots of experience interacting with. Being supportive of nonbinary people can be comparatively tricky, because you have to resist the urge to create box C and drop them all there. That's how we end up with various prejudices like "woman lite". Humans really, really like to categorize things. It helps us think. Unfortunately, sometimes it helps us think wrong.

If you have a non binary person in your life, I think it is important to take the extra effort to learn about them specifically.

i've seen countless kind and emotional replies in the year or so since i posted this comic, but this particular tag set has squeezed me unlike any other. thanks

[melodies-stereo]

"in my socialist utopia, we will still be allowed to hunt, discriminate against, and kill a specific kind of person" <- a LOT of you for some reason

[melodies-stereo]

in MY socialist utopia, justice will not be emotionally driven... except in regards to this one type of person i really don't like and want deprived of rights and recognition

the wisdom ive learnt is that becoming part of a friend group 1) takes a long time and 2) involves a lot of feeling awkward and left out at first. there’s nothing terrible about this but if you grew up chronically lonely or have any kind of trauma relating to social isolation this likely feels Really Wrong and activates danger signals. but both fortunately and unfortunately it’s just how becoming close to new people works most of the time

[caydencrypted]

another thing that was not intuitive to me as someone who grew up an autistic loner: basically everyone on the planet is starved for connection all the time and almost everything people do is an attempt to reach out to another. most seemingly illogical interactions and behaviours can be explained by this. you have to take as many of these invitations as you can. even if you're wrong you still attempted to bring more warmth into the world

my cat passed away this year.

i looked down today and realized the scar he gave me (from slipping off my lap) hasn’t faded yet and i hope it never does.

[staticbluue]

“People should pass a test before being allowed to have kids.” “Isn’t it scary how white people have this inborn capacity for evil?” “I’ll never pass because males and females have different skull shapes.” “Autistic people have a stronger sense of justice than anyone else.” “I don’t want AMABs in my space because they’re dangerous.” “You shouldn’t have access to hormones if you dress like THAT.” “Anyone who does something that awful isn’t human.” “Some people really shouldn’t be allowed to vote.”

This is eugenics. This is phrenology. THIS IS NAZI SHIT, YOU ARE A LEFTIST BUYING INTO NAZI SHIT. YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE TO NAZI SHIT.

sorry I saw a post about AAVE and got fired up and had to make this

[standwithdaanes]

as much as everyone loves "the power of love won't save us, we need the power of incredible violence" i'm sorry to rain on your parade but we've actually tried that about ten million times as a species, and you'll be shocked to hear the power of incredible violence, without the power of love behind it, is just brutality. the power of incredible violence has been ruling (various parts of, and then the entire) world for the past 5,000 years. ours is not that damn special.

like yes use that gun you found but WHY are you using it? on who are you using it? what would make you stop using it? is your goal to live in a world where every problem is solved by violence, or is your goal to do the violence necessary to live in a world where that necessity is unthinkable?

You cannot "power of love" your way out of a fascist regime 💀
