Living and Being Alive

Mark, professional lesbian, Chinese, autistic, 25. she/him. I do memes and fandom. Queue: 24/7 every 2 hours. Art blog: @daijoboob

[whitewolf634]

One of these days I'll put together a proper post or Carrd or something to pin. For now this is what all you newcomers are getting:

I'm just here for a good time, bros. Find weeb-y fandoms, memes, general discussion, and public diary entries here. I don't do discourse, but please talk to me about anime and manga. Find my art at @daijoboob.

This is a trans-friendly space! But be aware that I am a cis-woman and might make mistakes sometimes. Please let me know when I slip up- I want to be a better ally.

On the same coin, I block transphobes. TERF cis-dykes are a disgrace. This isn't up for discussion. That said, my inbox IS open to anyone on the fence about their feelings. I don't bite :) just make it clear that you're approaching in good-faith!

And most importantly! If you know me in real life and are snooping outta curiosity, take this littol post to heart :^)))

"But it's not FOR them!!!" The biggest military power in the world belongs to a christofascist nation overseen by a felon found guilty of 34 federal crimes and has greenlit a gestapo with more direct funding than the entire military of Canada for the purpose of ethnic cleansing.

At this point if anyone is trying to exclude anyone benignly pro-queer from a pro-queer space I'm just going to assume you're a fed or something idk like something something destabilize the movement from within or whatever

Something that I get chills about is the fact that the oldest story told made by the oldest civilization opens with "In those days, in those distant days, in those ancient nights."

This confirms that there is a civilization older than the Sumerians that we have yet to find

Some people get existential dread from this

Me? I think it's fucking awesome it shows just how much of this world we have yet to discover and that is just fascinating

[sleepymccoy]

@makaeru peer review cos this made me check when the Sumerians happened and I forget how recent history is for every other continent. 7000 - 8000 years ago just isn't that long when you're in Australia, and the amount of detailed history we have access to here is wonderful and should be recognised more internationally

Source (non Aboriginal)

And a quote I picked out from a longer interview with an Aboriginal local elder about the area where he touched on the history

Source (the rest of the interview is really interesting and all transcribed, have a look if you're curious)

[chaotic-archaeologist]

This is part of my Ancient Civilizations class that I teach, which does a whole week about Australia and the Torres Strait Islands because I was sick of never seeing them represented in USAmerican history contexts. With the help of @micewithknives and @acearchaeologist I've learned so many incredible things about Australia's past and it's been incredibly rewarding to share them with students.

[aggressivelybicaptainamerica]

My favorite fact about Aboriginal oral history is the fact that we pretty recently discovered that the Aboriginal myth of the 7 Sisters, an origin story for the Pleiades star cluster, accurately reflects a point TEN THOUSAND YEARS AGO when two stars in the constellation got close enough together to no longer be distinguishable by the naked eye.

The story? 6 sisters running from something that took their 7th sister.

as a gilgar gunditj woman, i was not expecting to see my culture on my dash.

thank you for spreading our words and treating our culture with respect.

[megpie71]

Boosting signal.

[justgot1]

Echoes from the ancient human past, wonderful.

[meret118]

Their oral history also contains stories about hunting prehistoric megafauna too. Native Australians are the oldest existing culture on earth, which is even more amazing considering how hard the british tried to wipe it out.

In my opinion the human body gets dehydrated too easily.

Also when it wants water it’s a secret for some fucking reason.

Bugs bunny taught me that cross dressing is not only normal, but an effective way to evade ghouls.

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

good news everyone

[redstonedust]

always good to have friends who are at least 5 years older than you and friends who are at least 5 years younger than you. being the youngest person you know will make you feel like an inexperienced child who knows nothing of the world. being the oldest person you know will make you feel like the joker.

The bond that can form between a girl and her rabbit can be emotional and deep

[ladyofthefanart]

That That is not a rabbit

[musicemo]

It’s a hare! A black hare! We have those around here apparently, but I’ve never personally seen one.

(This family of seaslugs are called “Hares” because they have two appendages on top their head that look like rabbit ears- hence the joke)
