any pronouns I go by any variation of “spade” or “shovel demon”. Nicknames are cool. I draw things I also write things but that’s a random

affirmations when opening a stuck jar:

I am stronger than the jar

⁠⁠I know what left and right are

⁠⁠smashing the jar will make a mess

⁠⁠I have strong and dextrous hands

⁠⁠I have opened jars before and I will open jars again

It also deeply bothers me how many people pull the "okay now ask the average African American how they feel about gay and trans people" as a gotcha, to try to act as though Black people specifically hate and are oppressing queer and trans people (and as if we just, AREN'T those things too).

Buddy ask the average White American how they feel about gay and trans people, since we're taking the census and the piss. Hell, look at the people in charge currently pushing anti trans and anti queer legislation and tell me how they identify. Look at the racial demographics of our last election and tell me who you think is out here going rah rah for the gays and theys.

The audacity to suggest that my entire community is homophobic (I.e., you spend zero time around Black queer and trans folk) but somehow yours is worthy of a closer, more nuanced look... Really some OG white supremacy, actually! "Those savages, they don't understand things like gender and sexuality, they're just angry uncultured brutes!" -mentality shared between 1700s race scientists and 2026 You, apparently.

Some folks was really out here lying with those #BLM pins 😭

the thing about "people have talked about it you're just 21" is that it's not really "young people are stupid" it's more "if you come into an academic discussion you should know what people have said on the matter lest you talk out your ass"

[ivy-michaels]

#I think in general we culturally put too much value into the idea of coming into a situation and making a big splash by making a bunch of#improvements right away. And that encourages a lot of talking out of your ass waaay too soon to try and Make A Mark#I think it's actually a fairly uncommon confluence of prior skills and how the new situation is shaped to be able to do that#but I love sitting my ass down and listening and learning and making Zero Moves until I understand the totality of things#which is also incorrect and employers do hate

you fucking idiot. you misread a social encounter. we're gonna fucking kill you

[epicsause-official]

i recently found out what the * * * that sometimes separates parts of a text is called and youre never gonna fucking believe it

[theswisscheeserag]

You gotta be really publicly passionate about things if you want your friends to text you. Bc people will forget to text you because they’re human. But if you’re really openly the friend who loves identifying ants your friends will think of you when they see ants. And they’ll text you “what ant is this [blurry photo]”. And then they’ll ask you how you’ve been and we should get coffee sometime. But if they don’t know what you love they’ll never know what you like

[theswisscheeserag]

And then when the ant convention is in town they’ll be like dude… we should go to the ant convention. But they would never think to go if they didn’t know u loved ants

[theswisscheeserag]

And sometimes you need to ask them to go to the ant convention. But you Will not get anywhere hiding your passions

as a regular donor to Gaza Soup Kitchen I get their email updates, and they said today that while they've continued to be able to expand, donations are slowing down as Gaza gets less coverage. If you have a few dollars to spare, I encourage you to send them here to continue the amazing work that Hani and his team are doing.

obsessed w this fucking tweet

"But what am I supposed to do for a person in a serious mental health crisis if I'm not supposed to involve the authorities?" You could offer to help them clean or do the dishes or do their laundry. Keep them company. Listen without judgment. Do some grocery shopping, maybe make them a nice meal. Check in on them. Offer distractions. Just show them you're there and that you care in whatever ways are accessible to you and relevant to them. If in doubt, ask and respect the answer. Hell, even just leaving them the fuck alone would be far more helpful than calling the cops on them! But people love to imagine a false dichotomy where you either send someone to the psych ward or don't do anything, when there are lots of ways to offer support to people in distress which doesn't include denying them autonomy

the most satisfying skill you can learn as a visibly disabled person (especially a YOUNG visibly disabled person) is to stare right the fuck back. I know it’s scary because people are judgy af and you want to avoid the attention but I PROMISE YOU. people are awkward as hell when they get caught. it is SO worth it to watch a man who’s like a foot taller than me, at least ten years older, and really buff, duck his head and look away because I refused to break eye contact first.
