HEARTBREAKING: this character understood their fate and decided they deserved it ‼️
FLAWED: this character saw the warning signs a mile away and walked towards the chasm anyway!!!
HOLY FUCKING SHIT: you did this to yourself. it was going to happen anyways, you just laid your head on the shoulder of your doom. you sat quietly next to the door like a dog and you expected it. you expected it a little too much
black people in gothic/alt scenes are just so cool because I think the concept of being black is already outside of the conservative worldview so being black and rejecting norms of a Christian fascist society is a goddamn power move. especially in the face of black conservatives. I've heard from black people who are goth or alt that they faced antiblackness in those spaces and they are honestly troopers. I'm alt too trying to express myself after being in a Christian cult for 18 years of my life, finally out. I find comfort in nu metal and ig "dark" music
it's also why I drew furry lesbians and transgender furries and porn because that shit was so heavily repressed tooI mean my fursona is literally a demon wolpertinger!!!!
Mentioned to my mom I'm asexual a couple months ago and today.... we got into the car and she hit me with, "So you use they/them pronouns now?"
I went, "What. no. she/her."
"How does that work? With she/her/hers and they/them?"
I stared at her. "What are you talking about?"
"Well you came out as-" and I said, "I'm asexual."
She replied, "Like an amoeba, I know."
"Oh. My god. No. Mom. It doesn't- it's not the asexual you learned about in biology. I didn't come out as a single celled organism."
With heavy relief, she said "Oh, it has a different meaning?"
"Yes, mom."
does anyone else have parents who suck in objectively funny ways
drawing it made me realize this one might be a unique experience
im going through some bullshit someones homestuck fankid would experience
just saw someone post “it’s common knowledge ur not supposed to spam reblog from someone ur not mutuals with” …..?????????? am i confused??? IS that common knowledge???? i try not to spam if i can help it but i actually personally love seeing spam notifs lmao??? unless i dont know what spam reblog means
Reblog if you like it when people “spam reblog” from you or whenever that means at any time
Let them eat ass!
yo i made rhis into a sweater
Mistook the couch as your palm and thought this was the tiniest sweater in the world
I'm always seeing this sentiment of "I have got to make my art weirder" or people begging for weirder art but here's the thing, Weird is not a brand. You cannot rack your brains trying to figure out the "Weird" formula. You don't get weird art by artificially forcing whatever you think is "weird." You get weird art (and I think "weird" is sometimes people groping for a way of saying non-corporatized) by figuring out what you like, deep down, even (especially) if you think it's embarrassing and wallowing in it like a pig

Just sharing positive news of how I experienced actual solidarity and allyship as Black person from non Black people. I work at a school as a sub sometimes and it's in an underprivileged Latino community that was recently terrorized by ICE. I'm one of the few Black subs in the school. One of the students (non Black) called me the N word in front of the other students who were shocked. Due to my training I reported it and the staff were so supportive. The principal gave me a hug, the teachers checked up on me periodically, the vice principal immediately removed the student and called the parents. Even the other students were apologetic and didn't want to associate with the student that said the slur. It was instantaneous how they comforted me and made sure if I wanted to, I could request not to sub for any of that student's classes as they don't tolerate racism and want everyone to feel safe in the safe zone of school. I was told also that they gave the student a history lesson of that word and why it was very inappropriate for the student to say that and that they're going to do follow-ups on why the student felt it was okay to say that to me and what's going on at home for him to have these views.
Since I'm a sub and all for education, I treat every moment as teachable during these trying times. For a lot of these kids, I'm their 1st contact ever with a Black person that isn't a streamer/youtuber/music artist they love to follow. This bunch I've taught so far have no idea what the hairstyle twists are, they only know braids/locs/and afros and it was fun exchanging cultures in between lessons. Anyway, I wanted to share how non Black people can hold each other accountable when seeing anti Black particular racism in their community. Strangely, subbing for this school healed a lot of work trauma racism where HR was useless.
I'm glad that they were willing to discuss with the kid why what he did was wrong, so hopefully he doesn't do it again. While I do think there should be a consequence, I always get worried about adults utilizing power over Black and Brown students. I am glad that they surrounded you with support! That is like... Rare, fr, that they actually handled this situation properly.
Testosterone can foster friendly, prosocial behavior in males, a new animal study conducted by Emory neuroscientists finds. The Proceedings
🥰🥰🥰
More from the article below:
"Testosterone can foster friendly, prosocial behavior in males, a new animal study finds. The Proceedings of the Royal Society B published the research on Mongolian gerbils conducted by neuroscientists at Emory University.
“For what we believe is the first time, we’ve demonstrated that testosterone can directly promote nonsexual, prosocial behavior, in addition to aggression, in the same individual,” says Aubrey Kelly, Emory assistant professor of psychology and first author of the study. “It’s surprising because normally we think of testosterone as increasing sexual behaviors and aggression. But we’ve shown that it can have more nuanced effects, depending on the social context.”
The work also revealed how testosterone influences the neural activity of oxytocin cells — the so-called “love hormone” associated with social bonding.
Testing new questions
The majority of human studies show that testosterone enhances aggressive behavior. Kelly and Thompson wondered if maybe testosterone might, in lockstep with being able to increase aggression toward intruders, also generally dampen prosocial behaviors. However, they also hypothesized that it might do something more radical — actually enhance positive social responses in contexts in which acting prosocially is appropriate.
To test this question, the Kelly lab conducted experiments on Mongolian gerbils, rodents that form lasting pair bonds and raise their pups together. While males can become aggressive during mating and in defense of their territory, they also exhibit cuddling behavior after a female becomes pregnant, and they demonstrate protective behavior toward their pups.
In one experiment, a male gerbil was introduced to a female gerbil. After they formed a pair bond and the female became pregnant, the males displayed the usual cuddling behaviors toward their partners. The researchers then gave the male subjects an injection of testosterone. They expected that the resulting acute rise in a male’s testosterone level would lessen his cuddling behaviors if testosterone generally acts as an antisocial molecule.
“Instead, we were surprised that a male gerbil became even more cuddly and prosocial with his partner,” Kelly says. “He became like ‘super partner.’” ...
‘A complicated dashboard’
The current study also looked at how testosterone and oxytocin interact biologically. The results showed that the male subjects receiving injections of testosterone exhibited more oxytocin activity in their brains during interactions with a partner compared to males that did not receive the injections.
“We know that systems of oxytocin and testosterone overlap in the brain but we don’t really understand why,” Kelly says. “Taken together, our results suggest that one of the reasons for this overlap may be so they can work together to promote prosocial behavior.”
Rather than just flipping an “on” or “off” button to modulate behaviors, hormones seem to play a more nuanced role, Kelly says. “It‘s like a complicated dashboard where one dial may need to move up a bit while another one moves down.”"

the differences between alcohol, tobacco, and anything else in america is kind of absurd and it’s hard to wrap your head around without going kinda insane
you can drink alcoholic drinks in public if you want BUT ☝️ only in some places. you can smoke cigarettes almost fucking anywhere though, even though that makes the environment way worse for everyone around you. however you cannot smoke cannabis anywhere. you can’t even have it at all in a lot of places. having open containers (i.e. a bottle of liquor you’ve drank from before) of alcohol in your vehicle is illegal EVEN IF you’re sober as a nun. you can smoke in your car. everything has so much caffeine in it that sometimes a drink just hospitalizes or kills you. you can buy caffeine pills to stay awake at drugstores and gas stations. you need a drivers license to get decongestants and you have to jump through hoops and bark like a trained seal to get any kind of hrt or psychiatric medication. they sell cigs literally everywhere. they wreck your life and finances and make you smell horrid and give you cancer but a bunch of rich people are dumping so much money into keeping them legal that seemingly the only thing the government can do is “ehhh they give you cancer but we can’t BAN them.” cannabis has well-documented medical properties but old white people think smoking it makes you a satanist because of racist government propaganda. hell world
See, the problem with character vs character polls is that you will at some point reach the rule of funny. So the real question isn't if One Punch Man Saitama or Goku would win, the real question is:
Who would win?
Miss Piggy
Bugs Bunny
