the single braincell persists

Shay, early 30s, queer person of colour. this is a side blog and my hoard of things. emotionally damaged. freely affectionate. fuck capitalism, cops, zionists, terfs, and anyone who thinks someone else is below them.

[shadows-chaos-continues]

finally a proper pinned post

Welcome to the shitshow! It's MY shitshow.

Shay (she/ they; early 30s) a queer and emotionally damaged creature with lots of affection to go around. Usually found in the middle east, often visiting the uk

my nsfw and main blog is @sin-n-bliss-burnt1 so i follow from there. You can read about supporting me and my content here! backup blogs @shadows-chaos-backed / @sin-n-bliss-backup

this blog can be 18+ often so, minors, consider yourself warned.

DO NOT INTERACT

if you think any kind of human is better than another,

if you think you deserve to make decisions of another person and their body,

if you struggle with respecting people who are different from you,

if you do not support sex workers, content creators, and artists,

in other words, racists, homophobes, anti-choice, pro-lifers, and other weirdos, stay the FUCK away.

you'll find here a collection of art, animals, landscapes, laughs, opinions on worldly things, and other weird shit. my queue (900+) is posting 90% of the time, the other 10% is me being a dumbass. i (near daily) share vetted fundraisers, please reblog if you can't donate.

I love the timeless appeal of dragons across cultures. What if a lizard were really big and could fly. Crowd goes wild.

"oh, you're a trans woman? omg you're gonna love this then, it has like, sooooo many drag queens in it!"

[puppygirllaika]

The unspoken subtext of course being "oh you're a trans woman? omg you're gonna love this then, it's also about men that put on costumes and pretend to be women, just like you!"

[puppygirllaika]

people will see a post by a trans woman about a form of cultural transphobia she's experienced and is trying to frame in an understandable way and say "I'm gonna take every statement here out of soooo much context" while rubbing their hands together and grinning gleefully.

My manager was like. "I found the best video on YouTube" and I said "oh?" And he said it's called "one hour of silence periodically interrupted by the sound of a metal pole clanking" and proceeded to play it

Every time the pole clanks he spooks like a wild horse and keeps getting more and more frustrated

We are about 20 minutes in and he's like "god I can't wait for this to be over" refusing to turn it off

[kindofcarson]

I went to the bathroom and still heard the metal pole clanks and heard him say "how am I supposed to prepare myself for this!?"

[fahadaccount]

stop making yourself easily available for people who never prioritize you

Don't forget to be excellent to each other and yourselves, homies, girlies, and gays

every couple of days someone makes a post on here that's basically "watch out for those scamming palestinians! they're really annoying and i don't like them, which disproves the extensive vetting efforts, because my discomfort is the most important thing in the universe" and everyone in the reblogs is like "thank god someone finally said something! i knew it! i had an inclination in my heart that those palestinians are dirty scammers all along and i was waiting for someone to confirm it! and now that you said you find them annoying that finally confirms it! wait shit that sounds racist i mean uhhhh it's so tragic that those scammers are taking advantage of a tragedy :( pretending to be real palestinians :( we all know real palestinians don't know how to use the internet :( thank you for talking about these fakers :(" i hope you all die

[feluka]

of course you're uncomfortable. you'd better be uncomfortable. seeing people desperately pleading for their lives trying to survive a genocide is heartbreaking. nobody should be comfortable seeing starving and injured children. none of this is normal. you'd rather believe it isn't happening. but it is, no matter how much you want to pretend it isn't.

you can look past your own discomfort and understand that taking action is more important, or if you absolutely can't move past your discomfort, you can block and move on. but making posts telling everyone else to stay away and decrying people as scammers without evidence makes you scum.

[covid-safer-hotties]

"Are you okay?" is so funny for the way it completely disarms people like, they want rage or shame or some other emotion and when you react with concern, they just like short circuit and run away lmao

[canthaveshitingotham-crucified]

i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point

[canthaveshitingotham-crucified]

you get it. you get the themes. i dont have time to do it justice. just look at it its on the ceiling

Samurai about to kill a pregnant woman. There's a glint of light and his sword slashes faster than the eye can see. Suddenly the woman isn't pregnant anymore, but the samurai is.

Counter point, those machines can make me a peach sprite.

[pusheenthenerdcat]

guys did you know the tech in that nefangled machine revolutionized preemie healthcare

[maimonideznuts]

[pusheenthenerdcat]

yeah the guy who invented them made incredibly precise infusion pumps (as opposed to gravity fed ivs) which not only meant they could give medications to teeny tiny babies safely, it's also used for insulin pumps and portable dialysis machines. the key element is that it's a peristaltic pump so the liquid stays in sterile tubing for safety

(unholy drink cloaca uses it to dispense precise amounts of flavored sugar syrup)

[leebrontide]

Thank you unholy drink cloaca guy
