Hey so does any other person, queer or not, just have problems with their middle/last names? Like I hate mine for ??? No discernable reason, but I hate it when people know my full name so much?

Does anyone want to talk about how cannibalism is romanticized and/or fetishized (Vampires, Werewolves, Wendigos) and very much has its place in popular media (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Silence of the lambs, Hannibal), but when I talk about cannibalism or blood/Gore fixations, in relation to myself, I get told I'm gross and unnatural and I should be put in a mental institution.

Sorry I can't hang out, I'm busy romanticizing my own misery and suffering while I play games about going outside and being happy and healthy and normal. Thanks for inviting me, though.

Hello my childrens

Sometimes I make references from Tumblr posts to my friends who do not have Tumblr and they just think I'm hilarious.

Got in my bed, all cozy and comfy, then remembered.

There are things that require my attention. Tasks that I must complete.

Every day there's more of them, but they're the same ones. But they're happening again.

I am in a prison created by this awful society.

Let me make my food and trade for cool stuff 💔

Drew my friend group as cats 🫶

It wasn't until after I showed my partner that we realized that me, him, and our crush have matching symbols ☀️🌙🌟 that was completely unintentional but we are being very normal about it now.

New years resolution is to have the vibe of a bicoded loser older brother character from a movie

If you haven't heard, the em dash has been getting a lot of attention lately…

Because it was trained on pirated work—including freely accessible online writing (like fanfic, academic texts)—ChatGPT picked up patterns and quirks native to human writing.

Including (sigh) the em dash.

There are other victims here (RIP tapestry and delve 🫠), but the appropriation of the em dash—a punctuation mark beloved by writers everywhere—feels especially personal.

A kind of low-grade panic is ensuing. Writers who once memed their own em dash overuse—the greatest punctuation mark ever to grace the control-freak’s lexicon, frankly—are suddenly backing away to avoid accusations.

No. More. We have centuries of dash-abusing writers behind us. We will not sit quietly while AI repurposes our beloved stilted aside—or the just-one-more clarification the sentence demands—or the dramatic pause your comma could never—etc.

You don’t write like AI—AI writes like you.

Defend the em dash.

(Feel free to download/share/stick it where it matters!)

I am shocked at how many people don't have an actively hostile relationship with advertising

[dragongirlteeth]

I am skipping your ads as fast as I can. I'm skipping past your sponsor read. I'm muting the tv. I'm muting the tab. If they get too annoying I will simply stop trying to watch.

If advertisers can use every manipulative trick in the book to get me to buy their product, I am fully within my rights to do everything I can on my end to make their job impossible

it actually is insane to me that it's a cultural norm for men to suck ass at getting their wives/gfs gifts. especially when they whine about how they have no idea what women like.

man, you're not getting a gift for Female Domestic Partner. you're getting a gift for Natalie, a person whom you have been married to for 7 years, whom has lived in the same home with you for a decade, whom speaks to you every day about her thoughts and interests, whom you presumably love, and whom you can directly or indirectly ask what she wants. it's not that you don't know what half the human population wants, that's irrelevant. you don't know what Natalie wants and that is inexcusable.

As promised, an art. Huzzah and hooray indeed.

Finally going to start posting actual things instead of the strange awful things that only me and like two other people understand. Art shall follow. Soon
