farcille isn't "toxic yuri." nothing remotely toxic about them, they both treat each other with a great deal of care and affection and respect. just because marcille is willing to do forbidden necromancy and arguably cannibalism for her wife doesn't make her toxic that's just what you do for a woman with broad shoulders

i love this quote too but it is absolutely imperative that you read the essay it comes from. it is so extraordinarily poiniant right now at this moment. these is nothing this quote can do for you in a vacuum that it cant do in a thousand more subtle and ingenious and reflective ways in-context.

READ THE CONTEXT!! its free online i’ll even link it for you. have fun and thanks

Nothing is better than animal whose job it is to basically exist In a specific space. Bodega cat basically just lives there. Bookshop dog whose most taxing duty is waking up from naps to say hello to incoming customers. Librarian horse that basically just goes for walkies with their buddy everyday. Doctor's office fish that like to follow people back and forth as they move in the office.

All love and appreciation to the critters and to the kindly humans to make sure they live in peace and joy

[mysteryteacup]

...librarian ...horse???

[knitmeapony]

In rural areas there are librarian horses and librarian burros that pull cards or get pack loaded with books to take out to folks who can't be reached by other means.

Here's a link to the modern og's, but as I understand it they still exist in various places:

Pack Horse Library Project - Wikipedia

[drtanner]

They do!

Biblioburro: The amazing donkey libraries of Colombia - BBC Reel

[daughterofappalachia]

Horse-Riding Librarians Were the Great Depression's Bookmobiles

During the Great Depression, a New Deal program brought books to Kentuckians living in remote areas

The Pack Horse Librarians - Appalachian History

The Pack Horse Library Project (est. 1935) aimed to provide reading materials to rural portions of Eastern Kentucky with no library access.

This is one of my little favorite niche interests in history. There’s also a great fictional work called The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek.

You don't have to like weed but I find people who are vehemently anti-weed but claim to be left leaning infuriating. If you go into a rage because you smelled someone smoking pot, how the fuck do you expect to form community with people addicted to meth? It's easier to say you hate smokers than to say you hate all drug users in leftist spaces because one makes you sound a bit like a square while the other is the writing on the wall. You aren't anti-weed, you're anti-drug user and anyone who uses substances is not safe around you.

[strongintherealgay]

I know dozens of people who use meth, coke, and fentanyl. While heroin is harder to get I do know some folks who use it when they can. Some of these drug users are my neighbors, some are my clients, and some are my friends & family. One does not cease to be human just because they use a substance you find scary.

Community doesn't mean you need to invite them to your home and look away if they smoke there. It means you don't call your property manager because you suspect your neighbor uses. It means you don't require drug tests for homeless shelters and housing services. It means the very idea of someone who smokes meth in your community doesn't make you go, "what the hell."

Genuinely kind of a wild thing to see in the replies as someone who has been professionally practicing harm reduction for years.

[strongintherealgay]

Considering recent events over here in the States, this seemed like a good time to bring this back. Over the next four years, expect an increase in discourse around "undesirables." This will include but not be limited to drug addicts.

[cowboymalewife]

Also, from someone who works at a smoke/head shop: WAY MORE PEOPLE ARE DRUG USERS THAN YOU THINK. Way more people are addicted to opiates, meth, whippets, cocaine, you name it, than you have been lead to believe, and on top of that, they are often the "normal" or "functional" people you see every day, not just the person tweaking out at the gas stations. Judges, bank tellers, grandmas, teachers, the nice lady who runs your bakery— all of them. You are ALREADY IN COMMUNITY WITH THESE PEOPLE. Start fucking acting like it.

It means knowing how to administer narcan should be as common as knowing how to administer an EpiPen or inhaler, and having some on hand as common as knowing where your friend stores their rescue meds. We need to know about other interventions, including withdrawal meds.

"What to do if Someone has Nodded Off" and "What is the Recovery Position, and Who Needs it?" should be in little informational pamphlets just as much as "How to Perform the Heimlich Maneuver"

We need safe sharps disposal as much as we need any other waste disposal. We need safe injection sites as much as we need bars. We need to know what too much looks like, and that only happens when we get rid of this unrealistic notion of Abstinence Only.

[vergess]

My employer and others I know have started banning employees from using narcan on the clock, carrying it in the building, etc. They do this by fearmongering about people being enraged and violent when they wake from the narcan.

This means that the number 1 way people in the US receive first aid training is now saying "this extremely safe, freely available, effective method of saving lives is Bad Actually and if you don't Die from using it, you'll be fired."

Do not. Believe. The fucking. Lies.

[teaboot]

My mom likes to tell me about how when I was a little kid riding public transport with her I'd always smile and giggle and chat with weird old ladies who smelled like cat pee and homeless folks and strangers dressed in bizarre outfits but any time a tidy and respectable businessman in a suit and tie waved at me I'd immediately clam up, and she takes a great deal of pride in my supposed inherentability to clock personalities but the truth is I do vaguely remember those bus rides, and it was never about the clothes or the hair or the smell, but more because everyone "strange" asked interesting questions and listened to what I had to say and seemed to think about what I said while the neat and tidy and rigid folks only ever acted like they were going through the motions, which was boring as hell and also pretty annoying

Bärli in a bucket :]

[liebelesbe]

the keen eyed viewer may see a treat lying right in front of the bucket. this is because Bärli is an idiot and tried to reach the treat through a small hole in the bottom of the bucket. he did not succeed, and then also didn't get the treat after leaving the bucket.

[marzipanandminutiae]

I love how people frame Uglies as the OG YA dystopia love triangle plot when it's really not that at all

more of a "girl meets boy, girl accidentally betrays boy, girl volunteers to get brain damage so boy's mother can cure her, girl meets other boy while brain damaged, girl and other boy are 100% together and girl is not interested in getting back with First Boy at this time, Second Boy gets WORSE brain damage, girl is trying to fix Second Boy's brain damage for a full book (while actively working against First Boy and his faction), Second Boy dies in surgery to fix his brain damage, girl and First Boy team up to be ecoterrorists, several years later girl and First Boy are MAYBE back together"

like at no point did the girl have to choose between them

and all the B-list imitators were like "yeah but what if she did though? what if that were the main plot actually? :)"

[anti-willo-medkit]

I feel like Tumblr should not only have blocklists extend to all side blogs but also if you block someone's main it should block all other blogs associated with it.

mostly because it annoys me how people have our main blocked but not our side blogs so I can't fucking see when they interact with us. and there's also people who we have blocked but still have side blogs that I need to send to hell

[succubusboyfriend]

are you “adaptable” or are you just willing to subject yourself to existing in low key background-level ambient misery

[succubusboyfriend]

these are different things btw. actual adaptability means not dealing with being miserable long term. and being constantly mildly annoyed/frustrated with a situation but being “able to deal with it” counts as ambient misery. btw.

[succubusboyfriend]

let this be your sign to make your life just a little more livable. get a dollar store trash can for your bedside so Cup City’s invasion plans fall through. block a tag or post that makes you grind your teeth every time you see it. get some grip pads so your bed stops sliding across the hardwood a little bit every time you get in it. tell that person you need a little more support. if you get annoyed at a situation more than a couple times, change it. don’t be content with being miserable.

[demonprincex]

and the more that you start doing this, the better you will get at detecting your own feelings and advocating for yourself! This is an important start to being more of a person in the world if you struggle with that
