Tawny frogmouth. Nightjars in genera look like they've got tiny little beaks when they're closed
and then they open their mouth and it is a not tiny at all beak.

you can enjoy your rainbow Oreos, and celebrate with rainbow bottles of alcohol, and take rainbow pens from your bank, and buy pride merch from Target and Walmart.
you can take advantage of the spoils that rainbow capitalism offers you, you can enjoy them, and celebrate them.
it's a symbol of how far we've come, just to be recognized as a valuable demographic to be catered to, to be publicly aligned with.
just don't forget their place. don't mistake their marketing as compassion. don't mistake their inclusivity as allyship. don't forget that actions speak louder than words.
billion dollar corporations are not our friends, and they will not protect us.
but you, as an individual, are not responsible for boycotting and avoiding every billion dollar company that does wrong in this world. especially when it's well known that they have their dirty fingers in every pie.
enjoy yourself this pride month. genuinely.
just don't let their pretty packaging make you complacent. 💖

Well what the fuck. Where’s my seven daily hours of dicking around time.
the psychology of this thing is so fascinating to me for real like imagine the moment these out of touch rich assholes realised they were lost. people rich enough that they've gone their whole lives thinking they were untouchable suddenly find themselves locked in an impossible to open capsule at the bottom of the ocean with noone but other insufferable rich people just like them. i hope they're eating each other in there
4E 201 in skyrim is like…did you hear that the high king is dead. did you hear that the harbinger of the companions is dead. did you hear that the thieves’ guildmaster is dead. did you hear that the archmage of winterhold is dead. did you hear that the headmaster of the bards’ college is hosting burning man weekly
#also did you hear that the Dragonborn is here?#did you hear - no yeah it all happened after they got here but I doubt it had anything to do with them#they were kinda busy stopping the return of the dragons#speaking of which did you hear Alduin is dead for good? did you hear the emperor was murdered#did you hear Nazeem died mysteriously in the streets of whiterun#i love skyrim#skyrim#the elder scrolls

she asked me if i believed in god and i told her that when i was four i almost drowned in a public pool and in my panic mistook a stranger for my father. i clawed my way up his leg. four years later he’d send my parents a picture of the scars alongside a tin of cookies. he said, “i hope she’s still okay. i carry her with me. it isn’t every day you save a life. it isn’t every day you feel like you were here for a reason. when it does happen, you have to cherish that memory. for once, i had a purpose. just being there was enough. she tore me open but she taught me a lot about love.”
for the record, disabled people don't have to automatically know their limits. we are allowed to push ourselves and learn our limitations. what is not allowed is able bodied or even other disabled people who think they know us tell us that we have to keep going. my disability and body are not science projects for anyone to play with.
post canceled my irl friend pointed out that their history included fics that I had written so I have to retreat
you can't oppression olympics your way out of how your trauma affected you.
"other people had it worse" bitch! I don't care! just from looking at you it's plain and obvious that you've had a time of it! a person can drown in six inches of water, it doesn't matter if someone else is drowning in ten feet! you're both still fucking drowning! show yourself a little bit of compassion before I come over there and do it for you. this is a threat
"Stop saying 15 year olds with weird interests are cringe, they're 15" this is true however you should also stop saying adults with weird interests are cringe because who gives a shit
To wit:
I want to share some wisdom from my high school art teacher.
In my AP Art class, there was a girl who was just starting to experiment with mixed media. At this point she was still playing around, trying to decide what direction she wanted to go with her portfolio. So one critique day, she brought in an abstract canvas with some rhinestone highlights and painted and real peacock feathers. She loved sparkles and peacock feathers so she thought she’d try introducing them a *little*. And after everyone had given some input, the teacher gave her his advice, VERY roughly paraphrased here:
“So here’s the thing… I do not like this style. These are just elements that do not speak to me personally, but I see that you like them, and you’re doing interesting things with them.
“My biggest critique is, I only merely *dislike* this piece. I want you to make me HATE it. Go crazy with the things that you like. Don’t hold back trying to make it palatable to people like me. Because I am NEVER going to like it. And if the audience does not like it, it should drive them crazy seeing how much YOU love it.”
Her portfolio was chock full of neon colors and glitter and rhinestones and splashes of peacock feathers and it was a delight. Our teacher despised every piece lol, but she got great marks and I think even won some awards. And more importantly, she was happy and proud of the results. Because she didn’t limit herself by trying to appeal to people who were never going to enjoy what she enjoyed.
Takeaway here: be as cringe as you want. Don’t limit yourself based on other ppl’s tastes. They’re not you, and you are incredible 💕
