[t3chn1c0l0rg0th]

About me/this acccount:

🐠 call me River (he/they/fae, preferred in that order. Also feel free to use random neopronouns on me that you feel fit my vibe if you wanna get funky with it, I fw that as long as it’s not anything stereotypically feminine sounding).

🐠 the horrors persist but nonetheless I stay silly

🐠 23 years old

🐠 surrealism enjoyer

🐠 wizard slut. method to the madness, flavor to the sadness

🐠 new wave, goth, psychedelia, synthpop, hyperpop and other alternative music fan

🐠 aesthetic somewhere in between dreamy, unnervingly bright and nightmarish/gloomy, generally I like 1980s stuff and other retro visuals (also 1960s-70s), weirdcore, vaporwave, fruitiger aero, etc

🐠 musician (songwriter, singer, keys, guitar), visual artist (painter, doodler, collage maker) generally into creativity and artsy shit (wanna get into writing more). I don't post my art on this account but I do post stuff that inspires me here.

🐠 eclectic pagan pluriform polytheist panentheistic animist witch w/ quite a bit of Hellenic influence, among other things. I am primarily working with Apollo and Dionysus at the moment.

🐠: general CWs for this account that may be untagged here: horror imagery, drugs/substance use, eyestrain, (tween sitcom older brother voice) raw unfiltered awesomeness, occasional suggestive stuff (not porn or anything THAT nsfw tho). I also use emojis often so be warned ig

people will call rap overstimulating and then listen to hyper pop

[comikbook]

i cant talk to people who hate on entire genres about music they have a sinister aura that i do not want to interact with

[trinistaxmcnuggle]

Even if it's Country?

[comikbook]

yes hot take the hatred of country music as a whole will often come down to classism i love country music i love bluegrass i love folk and writing off a whole genre or type of music is crazyyyyyyy

[meowntown]

crazy how there is literally a character in isttvg that is played by a trans person and both visibly and metaphorically transitions within the story but people forget about her because her transition isn't binary

[cruel-hiraeth]

if you build “community” around hating other people, just know that the second you step out of line—regardless of your moral uprightness or the hypocrisy on their part—you’re the next person they’re going to tear to pieces.

[prof-grace-aspen]

And by the way it doesn’t matter if you claim your community is “pro” something if the main actual behavior of the group is hating the thing labeled as the enemy of the thing you are “in support” of.

As an example, a lot of groups claim to be “pro-women”, when in reality they are actually anti-trans. Their goal is not to uplift women, it’s to harass and criminalize trans people.

So inspect the groups you’re in. Ignore the name of the movement. What are the people in your group actually DOING?

[handweavers]

having institutional access never stops feeling sort of crazy to me because you can literally type in any country and time period and find at least a handful of peer reviewed articles somewhere that discuss a specific aspect of people's lives in depth and at length like "what was considered pop culture in late imperial russia" or "how did the textile trade work in northern mali in the 1600s" or "children's toys in pre-colonial philippines" and it's just sitting there but the majority of people on planet earth aren't allowed to read any of it

[isawken]

hey man. nice regional dialect. mind if i apply some baseless assumptions about your personhood to it? i was also gonna prescribe morality to it as well. if that’s cool with you

[ryan-sometimes]

You know what? I don’t want neurotypicals to see me as “normal.” I want them to be okay with my wackiness.

[ryan-sometimes]

I want them to be okay with autistic people being fucking weird when that’s what we are! I don’t want you to suddenly dismiss our unique behaviours. I want you to be okay with the fact I go extended amounts of time without talking. I want you to be okay with the fact I move my arms in a weird way. I want you to be okay with the fact I will be in genuine pain if I hear that seemingly harmless noise just one more time. I want neurotypicals to be okay with the fact that sometimes, they WILL find autistic people wacky and that we STILL deserve respect regardless.

[genderkoolaid]

people are so obsessed with shitting on enben & transmascs who, god forbid, have transition goals of a gnc man who has fun with his appearance, and making feel stupid or immature or even transphobic for having these goals. fuck em. pre-T i really really really wanted to look like robert sheehan as klaus hargreeves and guess what? i absolutely nailed that goal post-T. sometimes dreams come true. you can become the faggot of your dreams!

[morphic-mythos]

The Greek for “divine possession” is enthusiasmos—enthusiasm. To be enthused or enthusiastic is to be “engodded,” to be divinely inspired.
