Skirm's former Tumblr-ings.

I totally don't use Tumblr anymore. Please follow my Twitter instead! Original "about" section preserved for future generations, 'cause preservation's my motivation! I'm some person on the Internet that plays games and wants to make them. I moderate the Distance and Four Sided Fantasy forums, so I'm kinda important I guess. I might do something interesting eventually! (I should write a whole about page later... But you can always ask me about myself! c: ) *sneakily changes all instances of "dude" in bios to "person"* (I am also a cat who thinks everyone is cute. *rolls over*)

It’s been literally like almost 5 months since I bought the shirt, and this picture is also three weeks old, so yeah, talk about finally submitting this *~casually nonbinary selfie~*.

I RETURN FROM MY ABSENCE TO PRESENT YOU WITH THIS GLORIOUS PICTURE OF ME

...and then I leave again. ;P

The massive downside to meaningful action on climate change is that if global warming is false were left with a clean environment and a sustainable economic model. What a bummer

Nominations are currently out for Misaou Awards and HOME is on the list. Also fellow indie games ‘Oneshot’ and ‘Tess’ are on the list as well. You should give a vote for these games and support the hardwork that was put into these games.

You can be mature and respectful and still have a dirty sense of humour.

[geekishchic]

 You can curse a lot and still be highly intelligent with a massive vocabulary.

[get-off-your-arse-its-begun]

You can be quiet and reserved and still be witty and even outgoing in certain circles.

[the-illuminated-showgirl]

You can be intelligent and sharp-minded and still forget what month it is

[aidn]

you can dance if you wanna, you can leave your friends behind

ohmygosh you guys, the dawn room is the single best thing i’ve discovered on the Internet. If you feel at all crappy in any way, go on there right now. Seriously. Anything else you’re doing can wait.

[billytepper-blog]

I always reblog the dawn room, it has literally saved my life twice now. Even when I’m in an okay mood I get really emotional when I go here. It’s so important.

Don’t you dare tell me Australia doesn’t have huge issues with racism.

[liftersandleaners]

There are so many comments on this post saying things like “Australians aren’t that racist” or “well maybe we are but we aren’t as bad as X country” or “this is an isolated incident don’t judge us all” or “wah wah wah i can’t handle acknowledging that I am a part of an oppressive system”

As recently as SATURDAY, our Prime  Minister alluded to the idea that there was nothing in Australia before colonisation. 

Around one quarter of Australians are anti-asian and just over a quarter are prejudiced against Indigenous Australians. 

In August our PM said that Australia’s defining moment was the first fleet, despite this being a disastrous time in history for Indigenous peoples. Indigenous Australians are not recognised as the First Peoples in the constitution (and as a result customary law cannot be recognised or used fully).  There are still parts in the constitution that allow Indigenous Australians to be discriminated against meaning legislative changes can be made that only affect Indigenous Australians.  Indigenous Australians make up over a quarter of the prison population, despite only being 2.5% of the total population of Australia. 55.1 Indigenous children per 1000 are in out-of-home care compared with 5.4 non-indigenous children per 1000. In NSW this rises to 83.4 children per 1000 for Indigenous kids.

This is just a SMALL sample of examples of racism or results of racism. Australian society as you know it, is built on racism. Stop pretending it doesn’t exist.

@ every single trans/genderfluid/bigender/non-binary/agender teen that isnt safe coming out to their family: i love you, i am proud of you, you are made of all the good things in the universe, and you are going to rock it every day. i am rooting for you all the way, every day. go out there and kill it. i believe in you.

[daxdraggon]

Respect Agender people’s pronouns. Just because they look like a girl, or a boy, does not mean that’s what they are.

Also respect if they would like to be called Male, Female, or other pronouns as well. Just because they like gendered pronouns doesn’t mean they are any less of an Agender person. 

Practice using they for ANYONE, until you know their preferred pronouns. Never assume. 

[phillipahh]

this as fuck

EVERYONE’S TALKING ABOUT CORRECT GRAMMAR AND NO ONE REALIZES THAT GRAMMAR FUCKING CHANGES.

JUST AN UPDATE: THE LATEST AMERICAN GRAMMAR CONFERENCE DECIDED TWO THINGS.

ONE-THE OXFORD COMMA MUST BE USED BY K-12 STUDENTS.

TWO-IF HE/SHE SINGULAR PRONOUNS DO NOT DESCRIBE THE SUBJECT GIVEN, THEY/THEM MAY BE USED AS A SINGULAR PRONOUN, BUT ONLY IN REFERENCE TO A PERSON.

Love, Your friendly English major

Earlier this week, authorities released video of a Cleveland police officer fatally shooting 12-year-old Tamir Rice. He was killed within two seconds of the cop’s arrival at a park where he was seen holding an airsoft gun. On the same day the video was released, Northeast Ohio Media Group published a report titled “Tamir Rice’s father has history of domestic violence.”

The article, which has so far been shared on Facebook over eight thousand baffling times, reports that Tamir Rice’s father has a history of violence against women, including Rice’s mother. Although it never explains the significance of this fact, it is preceded by an update:

(Update: A line has been added to this story to give insight into the motivation to investigate the parents’ background)

That line—added after the fact, presumably due to questions about the article’s relevance—doesn’t give the insight promised: “People from across the region have been asking whether Rice grew up around violence.” Oh, have they?

Assuming it is true that “people from across the region” have been asking whether a child mistakenly killed by police while holding a toy “grew up around violence” (and there is obviously interest in the answer, seen in the incredible amount of social sharing), it is hard—impossible, really—to justify taking seriously, and acting upon, the clear search for blame in an innocent child.

12-year-old Tamir Rice was killed by police in two seconds. His parents’ backgrounds, violent or not, had no bearing on his death.

This is a whole new fucking low. You’re going to try to degrade the name of a CHILD now? Just look at the lengths white supremacy will go to defame and brutalize black people.
