I don't think we appreciate cereal crop enough. For thousands of years, billions of people across the planet survived because of bread and beer.

If rye and wheat and rice failed to grow, famine was inevitable, and so were water born diseases (beer brewing process removed bacteria and parasites from water).

Harvest was how humanity survived until now. And the crop never got a say in it- it is the unwilling sacrifice to the greater good, being assumed to have no purpose but to give itself to the service of humanity.

Life on Earth exists by the Grace of Rye Land.

It's kinda funny when you get a bunch of likes but no reblogs like I enjoyed your post but I'd prefer if no one else saw it

We are nothing if not consistent. We know what beast we are.

does anybody remember free the nipple. i wish i wasnt a stupid ten year old when that was a thing because i didnt know how good that movement really was. can we bring that back? the idea that womens bodies arent inherently sexual? all womens bodies? can women be braless or topless without it being a big fucking deal? please?

edit: kind of ironic i didn't think about it considering i'm transmasc myself but free the nipple applies to nonwomen with boobs too

double edit: stop tagging this as "#free the nip nops". they're nipples. nipples on boobs. be mature about this

You know what's dumb? In the UK, it is not a crime to be nude in public, it is only a crime to do so to cause distress ie getting one's penis out at a playground vs a nudist going for a walk through a park- one is a crime, the other is a lifestyle choice.

It is decided by law enforcement whether the person intended to cause distress. I wonder how many topless ciswomen and transmen are considered to be "causing distress" just by doing what cismen do without thinking.

sometimes it genuinely feels like other people don't remember being children. "omg if a 13 year old is looking at porn there is something deeply wrong 😨 they shouldn't even be thinking about sex!!" they are going through puberty and their hormones are going crazy. do you remember being 13 years old.

You know what's cool? I learned what I liked, and disliked (to an extent, most was in theory), and what my boundaries were, and what made me uncomfortable, and what made me feel good (through self love), long before getting into a relationship. It's easy to exploit young people who have zero sexual experience when they get into their first adult relationship, because nothing is off the table if they don't know what is being served.

To be clear, it is VASTLY different when groomers are sending pornographic materials to minors. That shit is not okay and it is not self exploration of boundaries

Why do you defend stuff you find “icky”?

because I don't have to like it, I don't have to consume or even see it, to understand that censorship of anything at all is bad and harmful.

respectfully, if you think I like "every single thing", you are wrong. there are dozens of things in fiction and fanfic tropes that I dislike, hate or find disgusting. but no matter how much I hate them, I will always defend their rights to exist without being censored, and I will always condemn harassing real people over fiction.

if one thing can be censored, everything else, that isn't of conservative value, can and will be censored too.

PHM was his "new fear: unlocked" moment

[loppytaffy]

Do you think brought Stratt comfort that Grace would be fine, because when he woke up, scared and confused, at least he wouldn't be alone? That Yao and Ilyukhina would look after him? Support him, guide him?

Do you think it broke her, just a little bit, that she was wrong?

[ssopimir]

oh okay

[koymadis]

never post again

Yao's chosen suicide method was a handgun, it ensured that he was the last to go; you don't fire a gun on a ship unless you're prepared to breach the hull and depressurise that section if you miss. It would be risking his crewmates and making the choice of when to die for them, so he had to go last.

The captain intended to go down with the ship.

I don't like Van Gogh's style, but I do recognise that it is, by choice, a style. As shown in Almond Blossom, he could do realism. If he wanted to paint realism, he would have done so- he wanted to show us abstract.

Rocky trying to use human words and sounding like Wall-e

[loppytaffy]

Looking at their bodies, Grace's crewmates died almost immediately into the journey (Grace had significant hair growth, they did not have that).

There should have been enough of the nutrients they were fed in comas to keep him alive for the journey back to Earth, if he were comatose.

He didn't have to starve on his way to Erid- it was roughly the same distance- he could have just been put into an induced coma and be as healthy when he got there as he was when he woke up on the Hail Mary.

But he wouldn't do that to Rocky. Ryland Grace chose scurvy and every other malnutrition condition over scaring his friend by going into a deep sleep (which he would wake up from because he has the magical girl anti-coma gene) and leaving Rocky alone again.

[Description: a looping bouncy animation of grace and Rocky from project hail mary. Grace throws himself onto rocky for a hug, smiling and nuzzling his face to the top of Rocky's xenonite covered carapace. Rocky brings a claw up to ruffle Grace's hair and grace throws himself even more on top of rocky, rocky wrapping his arms around grace. End description.]

I'm not......worried, but I am anticipating a reaction. because if the double amputation scene in Sir Cameron was too much for some people, then chapter 5 of The Ignoble Invasion of Prince Proculo is definitely going to be a mass filtering event. that's when the cannibal incest spiders get introduced, and they uh.....do some stuff that you can probably guess at based on what I call them.

[pangur-and-grim]

there's simply no way that could happen.

[pangur-and-grim]

The Ignoble Invasion of Prince Proculo is about an alien brain slug who gets hit by a truck midway through overtaking the Canadian government. he is isekaid into a fantasy land and tasked with killing the demon king. fairly straight forward, you’d think, except that the castle he wakes up in has something surprising chained up in its pantry: a spider centaur with girthy pedipalps and a glistening carapace. instantly, the slug is smitten! and following that is OPEN DOOR EXTREMELY EXPLICIT anal penetration.

so, it’s basically your average romantasy :)
