SO COLORFUL
it fascinates me that theres (probably) billions of species left undiscovered
Here is an adult :)
The black-backed dwarf kingfisher is also very pretty!
Cats will sit outside your closed bedroom door beeping so sadly and brokenly and then when you finally let them in they walk around for 10 seconds and leave

actually that fits w my theory that fanfiction is closer to literary analysis than it is to creative writing. like i feel like so much of fanfiction is more about “this is my interpretation of the text, and i’m teasing out the complexities of this interpretation by writing it in the format of a creative writing piece” than it is about an original piece of fiction
I have often commented that so much of my fanfic is either “here are all of my headcanons about this setting, in 30k (or 300k) fic format” or “I spent 10 hours of my life trying to get into the head of this character to make sense of their motivations, and y’all get to read the conclusions”
The tag “You gotta GET the original before you can translate it” is SUCH a Very Good Take
This actually fits with what I’ve understood of actors who read fan fiction about their characters. Nearly always it’s someone who wants more analysis of the character than they’re getting from the scripts, so they look to what fans are producing and find those deep dives there.
ID: a screenshot of tumblr tags that reads: “see my word splurge the other day about transmuting elements of canon to an AU. you gotta GET the original before you can translate it.”
the more i write the more obvious it becomes that bioessentialism is essential to fash ideology and i feel so crazy lol. transmisogyny and antisemitism aren’t just intertwined, they fucking propel each other
i came across this essay while i was writing my paper on terfs and antisemitism last month, it’s an excellent analysis of nazi ideology. thanks for linking it here, i’d absolutely recommend that everybody read it!
I like to think there is a parallel universe where reading comment sections is known as a soothing pastime because everyone on the parallel Internet is as kind and polite as the commenters on yourdailypoem.com:
a rly good comic i found while doing research for my lgbt history paper
there's something lorde touches on in her latest guardian interview that I want to talk about and this is not a dig at her specifically, but a common idealist fantasy I've observed in white ppl under 25 is the desire to run away from society and start their own communities where they can heal etc and, look, I get it. I do. but please remember, no matter where you go you are on Indigenous lands. all this fantasy talk of running away and living in the woods/starting a community is premised on the colonial assumption the land is empty and unoccupied, and waiting for you to claim your dreams on it. I hope I don't need to tell you what atrocities that kind of thinking led your ancestors to do. A LOT of ✨cottagecore✨ is actually just cutesied up Nativism. if you care about the Earth, the most important, radical and vital action you can take is being an ally to Indigenous peoples and supporting Indigenous sovereignty. Not doing so is just being complicit in colonialism, no matter how "green" or in tune with the Earth you think you are. Indigenous peoples cared over this planet and its resources for 1000s of years without harming either. A better future for all of us lies in Indigenous autonomy and sovereignty and land back. Nothing more, nothing less.
