Ok but like

Even if someone's sexuality or gender was a "phase"

Who tf cares???

I used to like zucchini growing up but now I don't. I used to be obsessed with with anime and now i'm not. I used to like the color pink and now I don't

I used to hate jeans now they're pretty much all I wear. I used to hate insects and now I think they're adorable. I used to hate someone who is now my best friend

Those were all phases. They were temporary. But that doesn't mean that I didn't actually feel that way while I was going through that phase

So yeah, maybe she is going through a bisexuality phase, or maybe it isn't a phase but instead who she actually is, either way it's not your fucking business

Maybe that boy is going through a trans phase, cool. Respect his gender and pronouns either way. Because it doesn't fucking matter whether he'll still use those pronouns in 5 years, he uses them now so respect it

Even if someone is going through a phase, why do you care? It doesn't personally affect you does it? It's not like their forcing you to become queer or trans, so shut the fuck up and respect them

i’m very curious about something, please rb and put in the tags:

do you know how to touch type? if so did you learn in school or elsewhere? how old are you?

Text: Touch typing is a style of typing. Although the phrase refers to typing without using the sense of sight to find the keys--specifically, a touch typist will know their location on the keyboard through muscle memory--the therm is often used to refer to a specific form of touch typing that involves placing the eight fingers in a horizontal row along the middle of the keyboard and having them reach for specific other keys.

Its been a long time since I have done any art. I made a few cards for Christmas, and I did this piece today with some new markers I got.

My motivation has been shot. I'm both driven and aimless in that my energy levels are generally higher than they have been in a while, but I have no drive, no motivation to use that energy. It's a special kind of frustration that comes along with recovering I suppose, an adjustmet period.

I understand why people dislike leather and animal products. But leather is such a good resource? Like… My mom bought a sturdy leather coat in 1989. I’m in my 20’s and I now wear that coat. That’s a 30 year old coat? 30 years, two generations, one coat. Versus, like… A plastic one, that rips and gets thrown out, or releases bits into the ecosystem every time it’s washed, takes a billion years to decompose, lasts maybe a decade if you’re super duper careful, and uses oil products in it’s construction. Like, yeah leather is expensive and comes from a living animal, and I’m not saying that you should go out and buy fifty fur and leather products for the he’ll of it, but like… Maybe the compromise is worth it? One animal product, valued and respected and worn down for generations, versus like… Six plastic products that will never ever go away?

idk, I could be wrong.

this is why im so fucking pissed white colonial fucks and white vegans get so enraged at indigenous people for using hides/leather and animal bones as if that shit breaks or rips like cheap polyester does

Remember, kids:

It’s not “vegan wool”, it’s plastic.

It’s not “vegan leather”, it’s plastic.

It’s not “vegan fur”, it’s fucking plastic. It’s all plastic.

It’s all fucking plastic, and every time you wash it, or damage it, or try to dispose of it, that plastic winds up in the water, in the earth, in the air.

Hell, half the damage is already done when the fucking things are made. As the OP says, it’s all oil and oil products; it creates pollution just to produce synthetic fabrics and materials, even before you try to throw them away, which, I mean, good luck with that.

A lot of vegan ideology is built up around a very superficial set of ethics that are supposedly about protecting animals, wildlife and the environment, but they fall apart when you look even a little bit below the surface. Every time you eschew an animal-based product in favour of something “synthetic” for the sake of “saving an animal’s life”, you’re creating pollution and trash that won’t go away for thousands of years, damaging the Earth and making life so much worse for countless animals and people.

Think about this stuff more than not at all, please.

People are gonna eat meat forever so just let the skin have a purpose already, an extra whole ass cow didn’t have to die for dependable shoes to exist

My insomnia is keeping me up late, so why not think about the peafowl that has been wandering my neighborhood lately. I first spotted it a week ago, and yesterday my brother and I followed it for 10 minutes or so. Some people keep peafowls in this area, but they are definitely not native or likely to survive for long outside of captivity or enclosures.

Only question is, has it been out for over a week and some how managed to stay away from the cats, dogs, and coyotes in the area? Or has it simply escaped from it's enclosure multiple times lately?

As someone who loves soccer and working with kids, it's really bittersweet at the end of a season. On the one hand I lose my current team. On the other, I get to know a new group of players and see my past players grow and learn as they have other coaches and play more competitively.

These kids went through so much this past year. It's said a lot. But it's true. I work with 3 to 8 year old children, and the younger the kid, the more clueless they are at interacting with children and other people. This year I taught not only soccer, but how to make friends and interact in more positive ways. And so I wanted to make them something to remember this crazy but fun soccer season.

I cut and sanded down scrap wood, cut out stencils for the team name, season, and each players name and number. I used a pencil to lightly outline my letters for burning and went at it. The backs all had the team name and season, and the other side was personalized for each player with their name and number.
