You know what’s more fun than worldbuilding that makes some fantasy races EEEEVIIIIIIILLLLL!!!!? Worldbuilding that gives the different races cultural differences that help explain why there’s a lot of conflict between them:

Goblin culture doesn’t have a concept of “Property”. A stick on the ground and a tool in a locked shed are equally up for grabs if a thing needs doing. They casually take and leave things all over their communities, eat from communal pots, and genuinely Do Not Understand why the Core Races are so Angry and prone to Violence all the time.

Consequently Goblins who live near Core communities develop a reputation as “Thieves” despite not even having a *word* for that. (The closest word they have is more like “Greedy” and it means a person that hides things so nobody else can use them, and it’s a surefire fight-starter to call a Goblin that)

Common Orc Spiritual beliefs hold that a Soul can only grow stronger by overcoming Challenges in life, and see intruding on another person’s Challenge unasked for as not just Rude, but Deeply Harmful. You’re Stealing their chance to Grow. Asking for help is deeply personal and doing so can be both a way to grow closer with them or a too-personal intrusion, depending on your existing relationship with them. An exception is Children, as far as most Orcs are concerned, all Children are fundamentally the responsibility of the Whole Community, regardless of whose child they are, or even if said child is an Orc at *all*.

This means that Orcs who live near Core neighbors often seem Rude and Standoffish if not outright hostile, because they neither ask for nor offer aid even in times of trouble, and respond to unasked for aid themselves with Anger. There are even rumors that they Steal Children, because if an Orc finds a child lost in the woods they’re pretty much immediately going to start feeding it, and if they can’t find where to bring it back to, or it doesn’t seem to be well cared for, they’re just gonna keep it.

See, this is the sort of thing I was talking about a month or so ago. Inherently evil races have been done to death, and it should be their actions that races should be judged by, particularly after understanding their motives.

I like to imagine that the reason you can whip around those floors at warp speed and so smoothly is that you’re running through the museum with a pair of wool socks on.

i thought the eyewitness vhs museum was a real place when i was a kid. i wasn’t a total idiot, i knew there were a few vfx things going on, but i thought it was filmed in an actual museum

when women say “i hate men” they mean it in the “stop hurting me and my sisters” kind of way, not the “i want to rape, murder and oppress you” way. you know, the way men hate women.

congrats to the ARAs who got facebook to ban animal sales. shortly before then, many rare heritage chicken breeds were getting much needed attention to save the breeds thanks to various agricultural facebook pages highligting them. but now, with the ban of animal sales on facebook, those heritage breeds have become damn near impossible to find again. guess what that means? the breeds will begin dying out again. people will go back to hatcheries who mass produce unhealthy chicken breeds in horrible conditions. folks will always buy chickens, but now instead of buying them from ethical breeders on facebook they’ll be supporting a terrible industry, woohoo.

hope y’all are proud.

[gendercontender]

We are, actually!

Slowly but surely your industry will go extinct, just like those breeds of chicken!

thanks for the love and attention uwu

[pangur-and-grim]

I think this interaction is very important for people to see.

animal welfare advocates work to make sure heritage, healthy breeds survive as an alternative to corporate breeds like the Cornish X, which grow so quickly that their legs eventually collapse under their own ballooning flesh. heritage breeds like the Brahma, Cochin, and Legbar (left to right below) grow and lay at a normal life, and can happily scratch about, dig holes in your grass to nap in, rip the leaves off your garden plants one by one, and make very funny sounds with their functional beautiful bodies, all while providing you with food.

‘animal rights’ advocates like @gendercontender​ would prefer a world in which the relationship between chickens and their keepers (and the chickens themselves) did not exist. I would go ask Tallgeese, Yennefer, Anzu, Milkshake, Henny and Perchy what they think of all this, but fortunately they’re too busy tearing apart a fresh green head of lettuce like the tiny funny velociraptors they are.

[mad-hare]

Also literally every single accomplishment of animal rights activists seems to do exponentially more damage to the small guy than the big guy. Broiler crosses are still being produced by the billion in an essentially untouchable industry but good job ruining farmer joe schmoe and his government allowed maximum of 99 layers (Canadian law thanks to quota). The political policy equivalent of releasing cane toads to take down cane beetles or w/e. Its great that you feel good about yourselves and you hate animal agriculture but you can do shit all to stop the cooperate poultry industry so have fun picking on the little guy I guess.

By the way, the facebook rule ONLY targets small individual breeders, because if you are selling animals tied to a registered business you’re allowed to post them on facebook. That’s why you still see pet stores selling puppies, auction houses listing dairy cattle, registered horse farms selling foals, on Facebook. A USDA licensed puppy mill (that’s a thing and the USDA licence does not mean it’s a nice place) can post and sell their puppies on Facebook while a hobbyist dog breeder who does it for love and invests every dollar back into health testing and proper care cannot. It only affects hobbyists.

A big reason I’ve sort of been turning anti-law/rules lately, every “well meaning” law only harms poor individuals and never huge companies. Less restrictions but more people thinking for themselves, please.

[elljayvee]

If you are very lucky, you might live somewhere where a local farm sells heritage-breed animals as a sideline. (This means that you probably live in a medium-to-large urban area with mixed-use farms on the rural outskirts, and that your area has right-to-farm or urban agriculture laws that mean it’s profitable for the farm to sell to backyard hobbyists or micro-scale farmers. Anywhere else, at least in the US? You probably aren’t this lucky.)

One thing that ARAs do not want to see or understand is that humans and domestic animals have a long-developed symbiosis. In the case of chickens, it has made them the most evolutionarily-successful bird species of all time: there are billions of them, and they have come with us everywhere. When you take away the ability of individual people to have individual relationships with domestic animals, you push humans farther from symbiosis with domestic animals and into exploitation of those animals, with a nice side bonus of damaging the genetic diversity of the animals.

Personally, I’d rather keep 8000 years of beautiful tradition alive, and get rid of factory farms, but what do I know, I only work with small-scale farmers for a living.

I’m assuming they didn’t read that part of the OP or they chose to ignore it but they still basically said “yeah we want people to not be able to buy from ethical breeders so they turn to unethical major industries instead and support those”

it's 2022. donald trump has died in disgrace days after being impeached and jailed. my chemical romance's new album is coming out the same day as the new spiderverse movie. the lizzo and janelle monaé collab song is blowing up the radio. lil nas x has a verse in it. you and your partner have time and energy for dates after work after jeff bezos' assets have been seized and distributed to the public in the wake of his arrest for keeping employees in unsafe working conditions.

Everyone has been vaccinated for free and the virus hasn’t caused a single death in months.

Those dates you go on with your partner? They’re in public. Unmasked. Your server smiles at you. Everyone feels safe.

You can hug your friends.

You can see a movie. The people in the movie are gay people of color and they kiss and live happily ever after.

And so will you.

[taylorswiftstylequestions]

Hi Sarah! I’m planning a trip to Vancouver and while I know I should probably be asking you about blog related things I was wondering if you have any suggestions on what to do and where to stay? I kinda just want to go shopping, eat some good food, and get some good photos and relax for the most part. I was thinking about staying in Gastown but I did hear that there’s a sketchy side to it so I’m wondering if there are any other ideas. (3-8 of March if that helps!)

I get asked a lot about Vancouver reccos so don’t worry at all ;) I’m more than happy to talk your ear off about my gorgeous city. 

… This got VERY long wow. Lol.

I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?
