i'm begging you, you cannot use "sex positive" to mean "enjoys having sex." sex positivity is a pro-sexual liberation political stance, emphasizing sexual autonomy, and freedom from the stigmatization and criminalization of consensual activities. it is good to be sex positive, and everyone should learn to be sex positive. but YOU DO NOT HAVE TO LIKE SEX TO BE SEX POSITIVE. if some people are saying "everyone should be sex positive, being sex negative is wrong," and some people are also saying "sex positive refers to people who like sex," do you understand how dangerously that muddles the message? it makes it sound like the message is "everyone should have and enjoy sex, and not doing so is wrong." which is actually the complete opposite of promoting sexual autonomy. you can't have sexual liberation if sex is something you HAVE to have to be a good person. i genuinely don't want to go nuclear rage on people for making what's often an innocent mistake, but as a person who is politically sex positive, and personally sex-repulsed/averse, it sounds like you're implying i'm actually sex negative, just for not wanting to have sex personally. people on this godforsaken planet constantly get pressured into sex as is, we can't let "having sex is politically good and saying no to sex is politically regressive" gain any more traction

thinking about what is and what isn't allowed in frame with reference ecosystems in prairie restoration

[ariel-s-awesome]

Explanation from OP in the replies

restoration ecology tends to want to restore to a past state of an ecosystem, but magically that past state never involved people! Harvest, reciprocity, etc are all ignored because we pretend there's such a thing as prairie without people. Turns out, that imagined prairie never existed, there were always people here and there should people involved in restored prairie too!

Solarpunk, realism, dystopia: a rant

Hopefully this is helpful to someone out there 🌸

You can find the Prompts podcast here, I drew some of the covers :D Also check out this digital library full of Creative Commons Solarpunk art (neither of these are sponsored).

🦗Somewhat shameful plug🦗

I would highly appreciate if you threw me a couple bucks on Buy Me a Coffee or bought a commission, my money number is only getting smaller these days 😔🤙

[ms-demeanor]

Hey, also, all the anarchist shit aside, tomorrow I want you to make something.

I forced myself to draw something after the 2016 election. I forced myself to draw something when my mother died in 2018. I forced myself to draw something when my spouse was hospitalized for multiple organ failure in 2021.

When you are miserable, make something. Add a row to your project, bake a box cake, draw on a sheet of lined paper, write a poem on a napkin, fold an origami shirt out of a dollar bill, make your favorite recipe for dinner, but make something with your hands, something that you can hold and look at engage your senses in.

It won't fix the world, but it will change the world. You will have made something that didn't exist before. You will have impacted your reality, even in a very small way. And it is going to be something you made *after.* Something bad happened, something shook you, and you made something after, in spite of it.

[psi0nics]

The world is hopeless when we believe there's nothing more to add. Everyone is an artist in their capacity to create.

We made this extra word, "artist", for those like me who adds things for your head or your heart.

Whatever it is, this is a time for action, if there ever was a time.

Congrats on Wind and Truth release!!!

This is a collage of all the countdown pieces I've done and I hope you enjoy the journey and brace the ending!

It's really a looong ride and I've been following the series and doing fanworks for over a decade. It's just incredible to see the first arc come to an end!

Well, this is absolutely the fandom where I've stayed the longest. The series has been with me from college, through grad school, and into my career as an editor. It helped me through my toughest times and even led me to become its translator. I really want to say thanks to the Dragonsteel team and all the fans I've met for the support and shared love for these stories ❤️

[nudityandnerdery]

I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

[nudityandnerdery]

Thanks to whoever tried, but I knew they'd never allow it.

[library-graffiti]

Let's do it the old fashioned way. Spread it far and wide.

[psi0nics]

They eat everything, bit by bit. Thus is the death cult.

stop fucking using the word psychotic to describe bad behaviour and violence already god fucking damn it

[03josten]

oh my god i’m so tired psychotic does not mean violent it does not mean angry or erratic. it refers to a person suffering from psychosis, a loss of touch with reality that includes hallucinations and/or delusions. psychotic people are not inherently violent and y'all need to understand how much stigma you create when you again and again incorrectly use the word psychotic without even thinking about it

[03josten]

would appreciate if non-psychotic people could reblog this

[papayajuan2019]

cruelty is so easy. youre not special for choosing it

[chilewithcarnage]

"The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain."

-Ursula K. LeGuin, The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas

[wizardnuke]

"Evil is boring. Right? I kinda believe in the banality and mundaneness of evil. Evil is just selfish impulses, which at the end of the day are really easy to understand. It’s easy to understand why people do bad things. It’s like “yeah, ok, you’re selfish and scared and cruel, I get it”. Being good is complex and beautiful and hard." - Brennan Lee Mulligan

[transchakotay]

“Imaginary evil is romantic and varied; real evil is gloomy, monotonous, barren, boring. Imaginary good is boring; real good is always new, marvelous, intoxicating.”

- Simone Weil

[xic4-4]

"Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope."

- Vincent van Gogh

do you ever want to gently float up to someone and whisper “this isn’t a debate; i am actually educated on the subject and i’m telling you you’re wrong”

Yes and I would also like to gently float in general.

[valerie-an]

this is the most positive addition that has ever been made on my post

[maidthings]

elf liberalism probably goes insane

[maidthings]

"elf liberalism is basically the same as gnome fascism" - phrase that has been echoing in my head for the past 30 minutes

excuse the fuck out of whoever this is

the gnarliest, dirtiest shredding with that fucking casio keyboard metronome beat I can’t stand it

[autistic-apple-sauce]

This still blows my mind

[3rdbogwitch2theleft]

I will happily delete this if I’m derailing or taking away from the original message (initially I put this in the tags, but a friend asked me to reblog as text)

If you don't want to pursue an autism or adhd diagnosis and you have access to a doctor or therapist you can get them to write you a note attesting to a symptom of your neurodivergence (rather than naming the condition itself) and stating the need for accommodation. 

It's something my therapist told me about when we were still working in offices. I have sensory processing issues and on multiple occasions the noise in my office was so bad I broke the skin on my hand clenching my fist. 

This work-around of course won't fix structural ableism and relies on you having access to a doctor/therapist who actually gives a crap, so still might only help a couple of folks.

Would like to know how exactly she wouldn't fuck up Netflix or Hulu

Yahoo thought Tumblr would be the next PDF

Yahoo’s grand plan for Tumblr was to turn it into a “next-generation PDF”

They didn't really get it.

[noctumsolis]

What does that even mean? PDF as in Portable Document Format?

[sreegs]

i cannot stress enough that i dont think yahoo even knew what a pdf was

[virdigrishammer]

you left out the best part of that article. the poor yahoo emplyees at those meetings were just as confused as the rest of us.

[yeahokayillreblogthat]

yeah okay ill reblog that

[neo-pussy-deactivated20250705]

Hello skinny tgirl. Lately you've been complaining that your tits aren't growing. In front of you is a plate of food.

[verloonati-deactivated20260305]

[traaansfem]

Unironically my tits grow faster for a few days every time I eat salmon

I should probably cook more salmon

[neo-pussy-deactivated20250705]

Well yes salmon does have some fat in it! And it is good! Try and eat it with some carbs, like potatoes, or maybe blinis. Why not add some vegetables as well? Steamed brocolis, grilled leaks, roasted eggplant, and maybe some cream? That sounds delicious.

[featherboabear]

[dumbtrannybitch]

Idk who this man is but he is right. Eat girls

[commas-georg]

[prismatic-bell]

Girls can be eaten many times if you know what you’re doing.
