Thinking about how people have to have the babiest spoons handfed to them to get them to care about women . Ok guys we know you like characters…. But let’s all sit for a second and see if we can think of one that’s a woman. It’s ok take your time. We know caring about women is hard. That’s why we’ve invented genderbends: where you can pretend to care about women by caring about men. Don’t worry. We’re not going to ask you to actually care about a character who’s actually a woman. That would be laughable. This is just an intellectual exercise where we go now what if this man… was instead someone’s daughter? #makes you think . And if that’s too hard that’s also ok. You can say that your m/m pairing is yuri dust your hands off and call it a day
i bet the pain will end if i arrange a perfect enough sentence about it
i’m not even that much of a pervert i can just find the eroticism in anything. doesn’t get me bricked up necessarily i just like to appreciate it.
Took a tiny break from commissions to make some little fancy pigeon gryphons, called pyffs.
Finished up and looking pretty in pastel! These pyffs are dedicated little messengers who carry around the mail and look super cute doing it!
You can find them on Redbubble (1, 2, 3, 4) and Teepublic (1, 2, 3)!
This one resonated with me
big shoutout to the gas station near my house which is running a deal on energy drinks and thought the best way to express this on their large LED sign was to make it read BANG MONSTER 2/$5
update: you'll be pleased to know that they rethought their sign and have changed it to read MONSTER BANG 2/$5
i have terrible news about the economy
they raised the price of monster bang :(
Monster bang inflation 😵💫
monster bang inflation 🥺🥺🥺

i dont WANT pride months to be over,
on the other hand...
"on god's green earth" is way too fun to say even when you don't believe in god and know most of it is blue, actually

we are in the midst of a friday ass thursday. keep your wits about you.
Seems legit
we all hear about kudzu being introduced as "erosion control" in the South but I don't think contemporary people understand on a gut level what that means
these are images from a 1930s pamphlet that endorsed kudzu, entitled "stop gullies: save your farm"
It was Bad.
Invasive plants need to be understood as part of a much larger cycle of incredible violence against the land.
For context: erosion on that scale occurred as a result of our clear-cutting entire states. The land east of the Mississippi used to be covered in old-growth forest to an extent that we literally can’t imagine anymore, because most of us have never seen a forest over 100 years old. It turns out if you remove all vegetation from a landscape, you end up with a bunch of loose soil ready to move downstream. A fast-growing plant that covers everything in dense vegetation sounds like salvation when you’re surrounded by 40-foot deep gullies that get wider with every rainstorm.
A lot of the south too was covered in Canebreaks, basically bamboo forests like a lot of South Asia, I don't know the specifics of the ecology, but bamboo being a grass I assume is rhizomatic like other grasses and forms a big net of roots that prevent erosion. *I assume* (pleez ecologists weigh in)
Yes, the destruction of Canebrakes was a direct cause of this erosion we see here. Canebrakes were destroyed, using slave labor, to make room for cotton plantations. You can read about it here.
Canebrakes built up incredibly rich, fertile soil and are amazing at preventing erosion. They form incredibly strong mats of rhizomes. And their roots are known to go 10 feet deep into the soil.
The erosion we see in these pictures was a result, very much directly, of the Canebrakes being destroyed.
This is a case study in how violence against ecosystems goes so closely hand in hand with violence against people. The violence against the indigenous caretakers of the land, and the violence against the enslaved captives that were forced to clear the Rivercane and work the cotton fields that would degrade the soil into nothing.

I wish I could make white people(and not just white Americans) understand how diverse the pre-columbian Americas were. The history, religion, culture, politics was at least as complex as Europe's. There was the full gamut of religions, from monotheists to animists to ancestral religions. There were city building empires, village farmers, nomadic traders, and so many other ways to live. This is all just based on what we know, the fragments left behind and the stories of survivors of an apocalyptic plague. All this before the most extended campaign of genocide in history was waged in an attempt to wipe out those survivors.
Over 500 years spent trying to cut down a whole trunk of human culture.
Do you understand how much poorer our whole species is because of it? Can you imagine where art, religion, and science would be if we still had these vast bodies of knowledge? The stain of the colonial project will never be fully washed clean. We owe more than just the land to those we stole from. We owe them a whole future, a future that could have been brighter for all of us. If only greed and fear weren't allowed to rule this land.
