#Make Racists Scared Again 2026

[creatingblackcharacters]

Share if you want people to know they should be scared to be racist around you 👊🏾

[creatingblackcharacters]

"making them afraid will make them more racist" that's wild to me, because we live in a whole culture of social consequences for antiracism anyway. It is literally safer to be a racist than it is to speak up against it, socially.

Idk about you, but "I'm afraid no one will want to be my friend if I'm a white supremacist" seems like a pretty logical thought process to have, and I wish THAT were the normal and not "I'm afraid my friends will hate me if I tell them they made racist jokes".

i get why people don't believe in marriage as a social construct but legally it is the best and easiest way to say "this is who i trust to take care of me when i can't take care of myself" and i'm so glad gay people fought for that right bc when shit gets scary at least i know im in good hands

today I found out my mother doesn’t know what dandelions are and now I’m wondering what other strange secrets she’s been quietly harboring

[krystal-prisms]

Where do you live that you don’t have dandelions?

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

we have dandelions EVERYWHERE, they are basically our State Weed, it is absolutely impossible that my mom has never interacted with a dandelion before, this requires further investigation

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

So after extensive interrogation I have an update:

my mom is in fact aware that dandelions exist. she temporarily forgot the name and there was some miscommunication.

the truth is actually weirder

she’s aware dandelions look like this

she is familiar with this flower. she knows the name of this flower. she declines to believe, however, that these are also dandelions

she does not believe these are the same plant. I tried to explain, and she thought I was either misinformed or lying. so I asked her what exactly did she think the yellow ones were called?

she answered, with complete confidence: Daffodils.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

gosh I enjoy this website

[authoratmidnight]

For comparison, this is a daffodil

[quietlygrousing]

See, folks in the southern US will tell you up and down those are buttercups, actually.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

i don’t think so? i’m southern and buttercups are what we call these things (much tinier)

[maejacrezz007]

Wait I thought those bigger cup ones were Easter Lillies???

[fractiousrvt]

This is an Easter Lily. It is an actual lily and therefore deadly to cats.

[blood-trip-god2]

They’re marigolds and I know a bitch when I see one!

[delphinidin4]

This is a marigold:

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

….we need to start taking the phrase “go touch grass” more literally. go outside and examine a flower i beg u

[jmtorres]

“buttercups” is a name applied to MANY flowers. in my part of the south it was this one:

imo there’s correct identifications of dandelions, daffodils, easter lilies and marigolds in this thread, but buttercups are simply impossible to agree on and the only solution is for everyone to post pictures of their local buttercups

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

*squints* is that a motherfucking EVENING PRIMROSE?!??

[demon-and-human]

Hello I would like to add to the confusion:

That purple fella is a Morning Glory as told by my mothers (texan)

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

⬆️ morning glory

[huehueiamabaguette]

wait so if thats morning glory what is this?

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

[delphinidin4]

*Puts hand over gaud’s mouth* It’s a butterfly pea. Please ignore the Latin name.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

*licks ur palm* i won’t be silenced THE PEOPLE HAVE TO KNOW

never going to be over that time I was trying to explain polyamory to my mum, and she said "I just don't understand how someone could be in love with two people at once" and I gave her my the-cognitive-dissonance-is-causing-me-physical-pain face and she said "what??" and I very quietly said "mother....you had an affair...."

when I was in high school I had a literature teacher who had a policy of unlimited extra credit. All you had to do was read a book by a notable author (his discretion) and have a little chat with him after school to prove that you read it. No limits, no need for variety (one month I decided I really loved Kurt Vonnegut and just read everything of his I could get my hands on).

Yes, I was tearing through books constantly, and talking to this teacher at least weekly. Because even though I always loved reading as a kid, literature was always a very weak subject for me in terms of a teaching-to-standardized-test school setting (I just do awful on "what color were the curtains" type multiple choice questions. Those details don't stick in my memory THEY JUST DON'T). But that didn't matter for this class. I could just read my way out of any bad test score. I have always had fond memories of how I "fudged" my way through that class and "abused' the extra credit policy.

I was thinking about it again today, and only just now realized that he absolutely tricked me into being well-read, while my teenage self thought I was totally getting away with something. THAT MOTHERFUCKER. I hope he's doing well.

Papercraft commission of Jester, Caleb, Nott, and Essek (and Frumpkin)! I've been moseying my way through Critical Role and having a lot of fun listening, and was thus very excited for my first time making art of any of the Mighty Nein! (I haven't reached Essek yet but I'm really looking forward to him :D) Plus I always have enormous fun with multi-figure compositions, so this one was extra delightful to make!

[pineappical]

thinking about statues of Grace being built all around Erid years after his passing so he can continue to watch over Eridians as they sleep

can we talk about how, olruggio's kinda caught up in the middle of all the main story lines. olruggio, the one who made coco fall in love with magic, who wouldn't have bought that book without it. olruggio, keeping qifrey alive through a pact they made when they were kids, and the sheer fact of knowing that he can't exist in a world without him. olruggio, one of aggot's most important mentors, showing her that she can be so much more than the offspring of her mother. in fact, one of tetia's and richeh's most important mentors, a soft hand outstretched to them when their inventions have cursed them hardship. given the ability to be kind. given the ability to always show unconditional love towards those who he cares about. a polar opposite of qifrey, banished behind the veil of a practiced smile. never to hold never to cherish. olruggio, inventor of necessity and beauty for the common people. olruggio, warmth. olruggio, the sky's kindest, most radiant star. olruggio, who gives and gives but never takes. olruggio of the torch.

[starseekerstar]

Anyone care for some orufrey?

[quizzical-is]

I just want to say that it's fucking DEVASTATING that Qifrey was fully ready and willing to tell Coco EVERYTHING just because she asked, knowing full well it would bring him peace and the Silverwood tree would take over. After all these years of loss and anxiety and keeping secrets from the people he cares about, he is ready to die so that he can keep the trust of his apprentice. They truly are the thing that brings him the most joy. Coco especially I think. He wants to show them the beauty in magic. Coco already knows the darkness and the loss, and the wiser she becomes, the more she learns, the more of that darkness she sees. But there is light, and Qifrey is determined to be the kind and gentle star guiding his students, just as Olrruggio is the kind and guiding star in his life. He want his apprentices to have what he can never have: peace. That's why when coco comes to him, already knowing that he must at least know of the Silverwood to know a way to undo it, and that likely he bears a seed as well, he would answer all her questions at the cost of himself. It would be a relief to be free of it, and he could never stand to take her memory, she is a witch with her whole bright future ahead of her, and he will do anything to nourish that.

[versatileversion]

Qifrey fighting with his dad (who he has refused to visit, as the stubborn child he is) because how do you just lose your granddaughter like that.

What’s wrong with you??

And past her BEDTIME

[joshuallyman]

love how olly's back pats for the girls are a little rough, but still encouraging.

and then when it comes to qifrey he just smacks him as hard as he can lmfao. enough to make qifrey stumble and olly isn't even a little bit sorry.

he's not sorry and he's ready to smack qifrey again if needed

[writingdose]

this and also the only difference between fanfic writers and writers who sell their own original works as careers is that fanfics aren’t monetized. that’s all.

being a “professional” writer doesn’t mean your works are inherently better than fanfics. I’ve read so many fics that are more professionally written than some published books.

whether or not a piece of writing is monetized has nothing to do with its quality.
