… and they silently fell into it and moved within the transparency of all things, yet they were visible to each other, their eyes transfixed on the ornery beauty constantly pouring out from the signal station

Tumblr is such a delightful space because there really is people from all walks of life. There's somebody with the life experience range of an 11-year-old in a 33-year-old body going "actually being engaged with this thing that I have never encountered in real life is super weird and creepy, I don't know anybody who does that", and the next person is like "we are trying to teach my daughter latin since she already knows all the latin names of her favourite animals and my grandmother's best friend is an university professor who teaches it", and the next one is like "anyway a funny thing happened today when I was sucking dick for meth "

Everyone is so weird about people who cry easily. Fellas, is it evil and manipulative to *checks notes* have an involuntary stress response?

Help a Disabled Trans Man Repair His House

Back in 2020, my sister and I bought a cheap house through a first-time homebuyers grant in Pontiac, MI. I'm so glad we got to do this because our previous living situation was untenable and difficult due to my physical disabilities. Ever since moving in, we've been slowly working to improve the house, because the previous owner took a lot of shortcuts that we've had to spend time and money on fixing.

Some of these have included:

Replacing a broken bathroom window, which used to let in freezing air in the winter and had clear instead of frosted glass.

Replacing all the external doors, which were falling apart and very drafty.

Replacing the roof, which previously leaked and was structurally unsound.

Unfortunately, there is still loads that needs to be done just to make it livable, and while my sister works fulltime, I am visually impaired, physically disabled, and unable to work, so our income is very limited.

Some of the work that still needs doing includes:

Renovating the entire bathroom to make it accessible, to reduce the risk of falls and make it so I can use a shower seat.

Replacing the floors because the loose boards are a constant trip hazard.

Blowing insulation into the loft, so the house is better at retaining heat during the winter and we can reduce our energy bills.

Any money you can donate will seriously improve our living conditions and help ensure a safer, healthier future for the both of us

Teachers have tried this and are amazed when their classes don’t go feral like in the book.  It’s almost as if the book was supposed to be satire and not a treaty on the nature of humanity.

THERE’S A TIMESKIP

THERE’S A TIMESKIP

THERE’S A TIMESKIP

IT TAKES THE TERRIBLE IMPERIALISM MIND-POISONED EXCESSIVELY BRITISH BOYS IN THE ACTUAL BOOK SEVERAL MONTHS TO COMMIT A SINGLE ACT OF INTENTIONAL VIOLENCE, EVEN THE ONE (1) CHILD WRITTEN AS AN ACTUAL SOCIOPATH

AND then when they DO turn on each other it is because

THERE’S AN UNSPECIFIED WORLD WAR HAPPENING

AND A PILOT’S CORPSE CRASH LANDS ON THE ISLAND POST-DOGFIGHT AND THE CHILDREN MISTAKE THE PARACHUTE FOR A MONSTER AND SPIRAL INTO PARANOIA

BECAUSE CHILDREN INHERIT THE LEGACY AND TRAUMA OF VIOLENCE FROM THE ADULTS WAGING WAR AROUND THEM

HURR DURR IN THE REAL WORLD IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN LIKE IN LORD OF THE FLIES -

#tbf the dude wrote it to be a dick

yes. yes he did. i’m also gonna direct you to the real life ‘lord of the flies’ which occured in the 1960s, when six tongan schoolboys got stranded on a desert island for over a year before being rescued by an australian fisherman (who, it should be noted, later took on all six as crewmembers because the reason they were out in the first place was because they wanted to see the world, and named his ship the Ata after the island they were stranded on). nobody died. the only injuries that occurred were accidental, and when one of the boys broke his leg falling down a cliff, the others braced it and looked after him so well that it healed perfectly. if they argued, then they would literally go to opposite sides of the island until they’d cooled off. after leaving the island, they remained friends for the rest of their lives. here’s a photo of them as adults, with their rescuer (who is third from the left) and other members of his crew.

i read about this in rutger bregman’s human kind, a book i cannot recommend highly enough, but if you don’t want to go and read a whole book about the inherent goodness of humanity (which again, you really should) then the relevant excerpt can be found here.

something holy inside you wants to get out but you can’t let it

[androidboy]

part-time position. weekends forbidden. MUST NOT BE AVAILABLE DURING THE HOLIDAYS. always greet customers coldly and ignore your team members. looking for someone who can take directions terribly. must be horrible at math, crumple under pressure, and add more sorrow to the atmosphere. this is an unfriendly workplace, we all hate each other here, and we’re looking for individuals who disagree with our viewpoints.
