tbh the best way that i explain to other people what it feels like to live with an anxiety disorder is the one time when i had to get a fingerprint and background check done for a job and i, someone who has never received so much as a speeding ticket my whole life, spent thirty minutes panicking that i would fail because i might secretly be a criminal and have no idea

Stop making new phones stop iiiiiiiiit please just stop making new iPhones and new mobile networks 4G is fine no more Gs don't make 5G and 6G just leave it at 4 there's no need for more Gs. Please just leave our phones alone we can just use these there's nothing wrong with them. Please stop it please. No more new phones. Just give us a break. Stop

[mlem-wooloowoo]

I think this is a good post to point out that producing all those useless new phones has an extremely high environmental impact.

Yes, you should campaign against tech corporations

Yes, you should repair your phone whenever possible

Yes, you should join right to repair local communities and mod the fuck out of your devices

Yes, if your phone is deemed irrepairable you should get a Fairphone. It's made by a company from the Netherlands with great focus on sustainability and repairability.

basically if youre in the place to educate yourself on these topics and you arent

a prison abolitionist,

a harm reductionist,

for decriminilization,

and giving the land back

i really do not think your assertions of “ACAB” or “be gay do crimes” or “revolution” hold much weight

[femcassidy]

this is getting a lot of questions that could be solved with a google search into any of these topics, so i just want to respond with my own that isn’t: if you advocate for abolishing the police force but don’t support prison abolition for [x] reason—what happens to prisons in a post-police society?

[femcassidy]

you might come up with several answers here.

shit, i don’t know. we need prisons as prisons are to A) withhold certain people from harming their communities, B) punish certain people, C) kill certain people.

uh, i guess i can kind of answer this. the criminal justice system still exists. why don’t we just leave those people in charge? they’re not cops! and we should definitely let people who have committed non-violent offenses go. drug charges are stupid.

ok, i feel a little more confident answering this. we need to change the prison model for the better and follow the example of countries with restorative justice practices. incarcerated people need better access to healthcare and education, as well as access to opportunifies post-prison so that they are less likely to face reincarceration.

wait. if we’re abolishing the police for upholding white supremacy and terrorizing marginalized communities, we need to abolish a lot of shit. restorative justice sounds cool, i agree with that guy above. but shouldn’t these efforts be run by the communities affected? wasn’t the problem a white supremacist state? wasn’t the goal community terrorism? wasn’t the power taken out of our hands, especially the hands of people being systematically criminalized? i think i have things to read about.

anyway, whatever your conclusion: here are some things to read about.

“at least bi” really is such an ugly phrase.. bi isn’t lesser!! it’s not “”barely”” part of the lgbt community!! bisexuality is valid as a whole not something you can just mark down as “valid enough to be in the community but only slightly therefore unworthy of my respect”!! this isn’t a fucking contest bi isn’t the lowest tier and you’re ugly

[bunny-brain]

It isn’t meant to call bi people lesser, it’s used to say this person has same sex attraction but we don’t know if they have opposite sex attraction too, so we don’t know if they’re completely homosexual. because they’re not straight, but you don’t know just who all they’re attracted to they fall at least somewhere in the middle. That middle ground often being considered bisexuality.

Another way to say is like, a scale of 1-10?

1 being straight, 10 being gay, they’re not straight so they’re at least a little gay, not a 1, at least a 2.

That’s what most ppl mean when they use the phrase

[firstgrave]

bisexuality isn’t a middle ground, it’s not a “half way point” on some “gay scale.” Both the reasons you have for why you’d use that phrase were biphobic.

you can say “they’re either gay or bi.” You don’t need the phrase -at least- because that does imply it’s a lesser sexuality or “less gay” than gay/lesbian. Bisexuality is its own independent sexuality. It’s not a scale, it’s not a mid way range. It’s a full identity that exists outside of its relation to gayness or straightness.

STEP SIBLINGS, ADOPTED SIBLINGS, AND FOSTER SIBLINGS ARE REAL SIBLINGS AND IM SO SICK OF PEOPLE SAYING THEY ARENT "TECHNICALLY" REAL SIBLINGS. YOU ARE DIRECTLY CONTRIBUTING TO THE ISSUES STEP/ADOPTED/FOSTER KIDS HAVE WITH FEELING LIKE THEYRE REALLY A PART OF THE FAMILY. ESPECIALLY IF YOURE SAYING THIS JUST TO DEFEND A SHIP. YOU DISGUST ME.

what happened to personality quizzes having questions like, “what would you do if your crush asked you out?”. now we get questions like, “what riverdale episode makes you go feral?” and “which taylor swift lyric gives you a vibe check?”

[insertdisc5]

I know you probably get these asks a lot, but I've really been trying to try drawing comic pages. I really admire how free and flowing your style is! I've seen your little tutorials and tips and idk what's wrong but I just can't seem to wrap my head around panel composition? Like I do wonderful painting comps, but I can't seem to break out. Do you have any resources or help to get started?

thank you very much!!!!! im just using this ask as an excuse to draw random comic tips i hope thats okay and that you’ll get something out of it

did that help…
