This is so satisfying to watch—

Polyamory is safe for work. Polyamory is safe for kids. Polyamory is safe for day time tv. Polyamory isn’t more sexual than any other relationship and it can be just as romantic, sweet, and healthy.

Where would you put a city on this map?

[orrangeslices]

probably here. not really sure what scale this is operating on, but it looks real big. but generally just somewhere with multiple rivers for access to trade and near forest (green i assume?) for access to building materials.

[queer-as-city-folk]

The first city has urbanized

Where will the next city be placed

[temporarynameiwillchange]

Here looks fun

[queer-as-city-folk]

A second city has been built

[nakiju13]

I wish for a citadel with robust maritime trading and fishing on this peninsula on the big lake

[queer-as-city-folk]

City 6 has been built, lets start connecting them by rail

[i-twink-therefore-i-am]

what jumped out at me was a city at the red circle with a smaller one nearby at the yellow one. possible trade routes highlighted (you might have to zoom in to see the yellow circle, it's where the red and yellow routes meet)

[queer-as-city-folk]

Cities 7 and 8 have been constructed along the north, now the railroads should begin construction

[zeemczed]

Tentative plans for main trunk line and secondary lines.

[queer-as-city-folk]

4 rail companies have been established based off of these plans

[weirdgirljulia]

We need sustainable farmlands to supply the cities with food!

[queer-as-city-folk]

Farming has been added to the map

[mistressorinoco]

A new city, born out of trade opportunities between the already established cities and train routes.

[jgvfhl]

This post is so cool

Have you considered a city where the red circle is? Much like Paris? Possible rail routes drawn, altho the purple rail could also come from the junction to the south near City 1. Farmland could come on either side of this new city's river.

[queer-as-city-folk]

Cities 9 and 10 have been established, with the support of a new railroad and also a rail link has opened in the north

[queer-as-city-folk]

Ferry services have been established to connect some cities more directly than by rail and as a result of the industry brought by rail, numerous cities have begun to expand as well

[the-shade-system]

I would like to propose this addition:

A deep vein of magnetite, in addition to high silver content in nearby rock, being discovered in the south of the map provides space for industry to develop (black blob), leading to a new rail connection and a small industry town built nearby, which also has its own rail connection (grey blob).

Do you like the color of the cooperatively generated fictional map?

[thegreatzeldini]

[puppygirllaika]

Has anyone else noticed that this map is entirely constructed of existing rivers and coastlines patched together, many of them already where major cities are? they're all at different scales and rotations, but these are definitely real places. In fact, they're all population centers in the united states.

The first city is in North Portland. The second city is san francisco. cities three four and five are around various parts of boston harbor, and city six is up the columbia river from portland. Cities 7 and 8 are in and around Seattle. the new city "born of trade opportunities" is baltimore. The city in the red circle is up the sacramento river from san francisco bay, and the most recent city is in lake oswego, south of portland.

[queer-as-city-folk]

This is true!! Chicago is also there in the Northeast and DC is next to Baltimore

It started out as a series of 6 separate public transit maps that I then stitched together for this post, turning off the rail layer

[puppygirllaika]

very cool! it was a fun exercise mapping all of these out.

Dialogue Beats & How People Actually Talk List!! 

𐙚⋆.˚ Trailing off mid-sentence and not finishing the thought 

𐙚⋆.˚ Answering a question with a question to buy time 

𐙚⋆.˚ Laughing before saying something painful 

𐙚⋆.˚ "I'm fine" said in twelve completely different ways 

𐙚⋆.˚ The pause before a name that carries a whole conversation in it 

𐙚⋆.˚ Repeating the last word someone said while processing 

𐙚⋆.˚ Starting a sentence three times before finishing it 

𐙚⋆.˚ Saying "no, yeah" vs. "yeah, no" (opposite meanings) 

𐙚⋆.˚ The overly casual voice when asking something they desperately care about 

𐙚⋆.˚ Talking faster when nervous, slower when trying to control the room 

𐙚⋆.˚ The subject change that's so obvious it becomes its own confession 

𐙚⋆.˚ "It's fine" vs. "It's fine" vs. "...it's fine" 

𐙚⋆.˚ Going very quiet and polite when actually at their most dangerous 

𐙚⋆.˚ Agreeing just to end the conversation 

𐙚⋆.˚ Using someone's full name vs. nickname as a power shift 

𐙚⋆.˚ Apologizing for things that aren't their fault out of habit 

𐙚⋆.˚ The "anyway—" that means I'm done being vulnerable now 

𐙚⋆.˚ Jokes as deflection (always) 

𐙚⋆.˚ Saying the brave thing, then immediately walking it back 

𐙚⋆.˚ The sentence that stops just before the word that would mean too much

[hungtgirlmommy]

you like being a good girl for mommy? you like taking it all and letting her cover your mouth so people dont hear what a slut you are? it makes you sooo wet to be useful for once in your life, doesnt it?

[robotslenderman]

I’m sorry my lovelies but the reason you hate yourself is because you treat you like shit. If you came up to me and then told me I was a fuck up who could never do anything right I'd fucking hate you too.

[robotslenderman]

if you didn't let me go to bed until after midnight because you'd rather watch Netflix than let me rest, and then got mad at me for not being productive the next day I'd be PISSED

[robotslenderman]

You keep calling me a fatass but you tell other overweight people they’re beautiful? Why do you keep shitting on MY weight, then?

Oh? It’s different if it’s me? Wow fuck you too

[robotslenderman]

Love is a verb! Self love isn’t a warm fuzzy feeling, it is compassion and action in support of yourself!

And yes, this includes having compassion for the bully in your head. Unfortunately that part is also you and deserves as much of your understanding as the rest of you.

[robotslenderman]

via @corazondebeskar

This is the real reason why you need to be kind to the bully in your brain too, because that motherfucker is really good at doing a switcheroo when you're not paying attention.

[inkskinned]

you know what? fuck it, man. the world is held in the fists of people who like to break things. at this point i’m saying who gives a shit. wear that victorian dress you don’t have an excuse for. dress up like a witch, pointed hat and all. who cares anymore. why worry about it when there’s bigger stuff to worry on. i’m saying. yeah, this lipstick is too dark, wanna share? i’m saying go talk to her, tell her that you like her hair. i’m saying she’s out of my league but i’m still swinging, i’m saying yeah i’m in a ballgown and it’s a pta meeting. what about it. eat the extra brownie, tell her your feelings. i’m saying if nothing matters than we might as well give nothing meaning.

[inkskinned]

#i’m saying if existence is a void at least i’m going down screaming.

it’s been 9 years since i wrote this. i was experiencing 24/7 anxiety so badly that i needed serious medication. these days in the back of my car is an “emergency party box.” when people admit they no longer really celebrate their birthday; i tell them to put the sash on and queue up kesha, we’re going bowling or something. these days i can’t spin around without finding something i am enamored with. these days i list 3 things i’m grateful for before i fall asleep. you’re probably one of them, just by virtue of you existing.

at the time i wrote this, i was suffering through a severe panic attack literally every night. i tortured my brother with constant 2 AM calls just to hear someone else breathing, because i couldn’t be alone in the silence.

i rarely wish i was still 23 even though ironically i had more hope back then. what i can tell you is this: i love the same way, but bigger now. i’ve worn the velvet cape to several business meetings. i spent thursday in a crop top without caring what my stomach looked like.

i told her i like her; i often dress as a witch. i still got glass in my foot this morning. i’ve kissed maybe a thousand people since then and met a million more than that; passing like the shadow of a hammerhead in trains and planes and buses.

i saw you, beloved, there, maybe, on platform in south station. you didn’t speak, but you said: i struggle to give the nothing meaning. the nothing fills up everything. it is just loud and yellowed panicked silence. i can’t stop shaking.

on the roof, birds curl together against the chilled spring wind. the sky outside of the craft store was an iridescent pink. the nothing already had meaning; you are giving it meaning by witnessing.

the act of living, beloved: it’s just decoding how to translate it.

Michelangelo saw the angel in the marble until he set him free, and mind you that marble was disposed of by another artist. Was it because the marble wasn't the right shade of white? Was it chalky? Did a vein run through it that nearly split at the slight tap of a chisel? There's still an angel inside. And I think of that sometimes when I love someone. I hold you, I carry you, come there's a studio inside. You were already my angel, my love. Let me touch your face, I see eyes wanting to see the best of the world, even when dust and smoke hang thick. I see a face and lip that continues to smile, even when the tears make it heavy and stiffen. There's a beat in your hands, your pulse, the heartbeat gives it away that you're wearing it on your sleeve. Don't cry, my love, I will cheer you up. This is part of the process of growing. Every wing that has feathers molts for the coming winter. And I think, as I shape you slowly, you're slowly holding on to me. But you're an angel, you're supposed to be free. But you always come back to me, by my side, always, every human was always assigned one. But I found you. I took you into my home and fed you warm porridge. I sewn your cloak, I bathed you, rubbing the dirt off with a sponge. There's a little candle on a saucer on the floor. The window is where the sun falls off the roof. You don't have your reasons anymore. Every lost thing that is found will never want to let go. How, but in never letting go, can grace and beauty be born?

Unfortunately, I do find the whole 'with a little sleight of hand stealing from your chest your drive to protect, your beliefs you sharpened against the world, and your strength to fight, in doing so magically transforming your outfit into a princess's dress' thing to be really so very hot.

Not just princess tf but also taking away the things that made you you. Not just stealing away your values but transforming you into an idealized harmless object. In general I find so much eroticism where objectification and legibility meet, when sufficiently symbolic.

[sevenswordz]

switching between calling you "good boy" and "good girl" to see which makes you grip me tighter
