practicing self care less out of self love and more for the sheer logical reasoning of it’d be kinda stupid of me to expect myself to be able to function without proper maintenance

[succubusboyfriend]

“oh i don’t deserve rest and relaxation, i haven’t done enough, i haven’t earned it” and my car’s breaks don’t deserve break fluid because they aren’t breaking well enough to earn it. that’s what you sound like!!!!!

[reasonsforhope]

If you do not schedule time for maintenance, your equipment will schedule it for you

A unicorn painted for the new postcard in June <3 I keep meaning to draw a lot more unicorns for #Junicorn but I just...can't find the time each year. ;_; Maybe I can make it up later in the year.

ANYWAY. This is the current free postcard in my shop! I'm already starting to run low though so I guess the new postcard will come in sooner than later and then I'll have this art for sale as A5 prints instead. :)

Trump purchased tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of stock in UFC’s parent company while promoting the event, according to a May financial disclosure. Every president since Ronald Reagan has either put their assets in a blind trust managed by independent trustees or sold off their stocks to eliminate conflicts of interest. Trump did not.

I’m so mad that a t4 bacteriophage actually looks like that and that it’s appearance isn’t made up

[cikero]

this is how they look in all the models

this is how they actually look

like they really fucking look like that. in real life

[somniiloquy]

viruses are literally such bullshit they have the nerve to look like this and they aren’t even ALIVE

[nuggettiana]

I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THE SHITTY AND ARBITRARY DEFINITION OF LIFE THAT MAKES VIRUSES NOT ALIVE. FUCK YOU THEY ARE ALIVE

[petzah394-deactivated20250503]

Things are heating up in the virus fandom

we need to bring back the phrase "what business is it of yours" in a big way i'm serious

[valtsv]

i know you can just say "none of your business" but phrasing it as a question with a jarringly formal tone is the ideal way to shoot an overfamiliar unwelcome overture dead in its tracks and force the person making it to confront the boundaries they're taking for granted + it would really piss people off which is funny

[valtsv]

&also it allows you to experience the joy of talking like an autistic vampire, which i highly recommend

[queenofattolia]

insane that the only good colorists in the entire world are making gifsets for free on tumblr dot com instead of being heads of cinematography/color grading for tv shows and movie studios

[raichett]

liking a ship but disliking the distinct set of stock fanon that they have been assigned is like one of those punishments dante came up with when he wrote the worldbuilding for hell in inferno

[uptownlowdown]

my biggest word of advice to anyone scared to post their work/ocs/involve themselves in creative spaces online is to earnestly get interested in other people. be kind to others, like/reblog their work, tell them what you like about their work, get to know them as people.

this isn’t to “weasel” your way into anything or having ulterior motives or whatever. if you become friends with someone then that’s great! but there’s always something very personal about posting any kind of creative work. we’re all trying our best to connect with each other and the best way to get comfortable is to get to know others and show up as yourself. 🫶🏾

A huge fraction of people who are intersex are completely unaware that they are. So, in preparation for Pride Month:

Here are tons of signs that you're intersex:

You naturally have a large clitoris (numbers are complicated) or small phallus (<2.7 inches erect or <1.5 inches flaccid)

You have parts that look like an intermediate between a clitoris and a phallus (clitorophallus)

You do not have a clitorophallus at all (ie, no clitoris, no phallus; nothing)

Your urethra is lower or higher than usual (for phalluses: should be centered on top of the glans -- for vulvas: should have several millimeters of space between the clitoris, urethra, and vagina)

Your urethra is not externally visible

You have a penis or phallus with an opening between the base of phallus and anus.

You have a vulva without a vaginal opening, or have a small, easily irritated or nonelastic opening

You have a vulva with partially or completely fused labia (begins from the bottom of the vulva or from the clitoris - may have a webbed appearance rather than flush skin)

You have a penis with very small or undescended testes

You went through androgenizing puberty and have prominent breast tissue

You went through estrogeninizing puberty and have little to no breast tissue.

You went through both androgenizing and estrogenizing puberty

You never hit puberty, had very little development during puberty, or had a late onset puberty.

You have had imaging tests that show "missing," differently shaped, mixed, or otherwise unexpected internal genitalia.

You have had unexplained medical issues regarding sex traits or genitalia since childhood or adolescence.

You have any of the above signs and are struggling with fertility

Other family members display similar traits (note: this is *not* necessary as not all intersex variations are inherited)

You have had DNA testing and the karyotype came back with an unexpected result (ex: XX instead of XY, or an error message)

You have had high or low levels of sex hormones since puberty (it's okay if all you have are signs that they were high or low in childhood)

You have widespread body hair or any amount of facial hair alongside an estrogenizing puberty

You are experiencing androgenic alopecia and have close-to-female anatomy.

You are unable to grow body/facial hair and have close-to-male anatomy.

You have a very androgynous face, or your face passes as a different gender from your body (this one is Subjective and not indicative on its own)

You have unexplained scarring in the genitalia area. If this one is you, please get in touch with InterAct Advocates, Genital Autonomy, or online Intersex communities before you dig for info.

This is an extremely sensitive topic and may be traumatizing (CIMI / IGM). You also want to make sure what you've found are scars, instead of natural tissue - intersex bodies may develop extra tissue in some places (ex: vulvar hypospadias and hooding of the urethra)

Alright. That's all I got for now. If you're starting to question things now, it may feel scary at first, but you don't have to do it alone. The intersex community online has so many amazing resources and wonderful helpful people in it.

For some primers, check out InterAct Advocates! Happy almost Pride! I'm excited to celebrate with you with us <3

i think it's very important that people know how common undereating is, esp. for feminized people, and how the lower calorie requirements for "women" are bullshit. you don't need to have a restrictive eating disorder (a psychiatric disability in which your relationship with food + body image is dangerous to your health [sometimes deadly] and prohibits you from participating in your daily life, forming relationships, and so on) to not be eating enough.

you could go your whole life not eating enough and not die or get really sick, but just be tired and grumpy a lot, or perform worse, or have brain fog, or a million other things. like there are so many gradations between "should have a snack" and "has a severe eating disorder". maybe you don't have an eating disorder, but you should still start eating more than iced coffee for breakfast. try it sometime!

[coherentnow]

fwiw some of the most malaised ppl i know are thin women. headache this, stomachache that, but swear they are never hungry. yeah right. eat a goddamned meal and you'll probably feel better.

(at my smallest, i was the same way. like yeah, pounding coffee and eating next to nothing, especially while competing in sports, will leave you exhausted and miserable. fucking duh.)

*street shot of zohran mamdani clad in nasty lil suit and hard hat* five months ago i was elected mayor of new york city. in that time, we have managed to COMPLETELY defeat the Staten Island Minotaur at no additional cost to the new york taxpayer

[audliminal]

Thinking about the whole "there is no platonic explanation for this" thing and how it doesn't account for intense platonic situationships and anyways I think we should start saying "there is no casual explanation for this" bc really what we're talking about is the way the characters in question are Obsessed with each other

[shop5]

let’s be real the pressure to use AI as an adult is exactly what they said the pressure the do drugs as a teenager would be like but the people that told us that caved immediately for the AI and definitely did not just say no

Imagine washing up on Dinotopia and getting a talk saying "unfortunately, you can't escape this island! You'll never go home or see your loved ones ever again" & then while you're crying they say "I'm sorry, you'll just have to live on the island of dinosaur communism for the rest of your life" and you look up through your bleary eyes and go. Wait what
