I keep seeing a post that's like "it's so sweet that Crowley cleaned up the bookshop while Aziraphale was in Edinburgh" and I'm like listen, I get what you mean but that is not what's happening here, Aziraphale keeps his shop a mess on purpose to ward off customers and Crowley tries to alphabetize his CD collection to take his mind off the impending apocalypse but is thwarted by them already being alphabetized. That was stress cleaning and it was for Crowley's benefit.
god i am always the FIRST to rally against the failures of just fighting for tolerance from straight cis ppl, but also we haven't even fucking reached tolerance yet.
we still need "We're Queer We're Here Get Used To It", because i don't know about you guys, but from what I'm seeing, they aren't fucking used to it.
we need that old school "we're your hairdressers, your teachers, your neighbors, your siblings, your friends" energy back ASAP. quietly queer isn't cutting it for me anymore. in your face dykes fag queer trans forever until i'm fucking dead.
people really do equate morality to hair huh. ppl see a boy balding and say thats actually a sleazebag and creep who doesnt know personal hygiene. ppl see a man wearing a toupee or combing over his hair and make fun of him for trying to hide his true colors of being secretly an ugly balding person. ppl see a shitty person who happens to be bald or balding and say their disgusting ugly offensive hair is their divine punishment for their actions/personality. ppl see a girl whos bald, balding, or just has short hair and pity her and mourn her perceived loss of feminine beauty. ppl see a women with thin hair or receding hairline and harass her enough to make her start wearing wigs and hats or even undergo cosmetic procedures to fix herself out of fear of further harassment. can people stop being so fucking weird about the perceived morality of hair loss that literally almost everyone and their mother has. hair loss is not a bug its a goddamn feature
I recently worked a kids camp for kids with alopecia areata. Alopecia is the general term for hair loss which includes things like traction alopecia (which is what often happens when you get your hair put in braids that it is not meant for- traction because it is being pulled in order to be put in the braids, but if it doesn't have the right curl structure, instead of springing out it just gets pulled out of your head), androgen alopecia (in the past referred to as "male pattern baldness" but this is incorrect because it is due to hormones regardless of gender or sex assigned at birth and is why older cis, perisex women start to lose their hair after menopause- because they are no longer making the same amounts of estrogen and progesterone and are now making more testosterone by comparison (yes, cis perisex women make testosterone)).
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the hair follicles. It can cause bald patches, total baldness on the head (alopecia totalis), the eyebrows and eyelashes to fall out, or complete lack of body hair anywhere on the body (alopecia universalis).
When we did orientation before we even saw the kids, we met with people from the Alopecia Areata Foundation and they talked about what it was like for them to grow up with alopecia. Hair is an extremely important identity and cultural signifier and it's very isolating when some of all of your hair is falling out. This camp was one of the few places where these kids were able to be around other people like them, where they felt safe taking off their hats and scarves and wigs.
Because the world treats people who are losing their hair like shit.
Starting from a very young age, children who have no concept that there is something different about them are singled about by their peers and adults alike and either harassed, bullied, or shunned. As they grow and are able to conceptualize themselves they can see that they look different from other people and that the people in media that look like them are all similar- they're villains, they're untrustworthy, they're sleazebags, they're creeps, they're perverts. The only other bald representation in media is that of the cancer patient (who often have to deal with those same stereotypes!)
the duality of jon is that he cares very deeply about people and will fight tooth and nail to not lose sight of himself and still has a lingering guilt for a death he had no control over at age eight but also he put peter lukas through a psychic wood chipper and then never thought about it again
compelling arguments from the notes
Jon cares very deeply about people he's attached to, and will gladly put someone he isn't through a psychic woodchipper to help those people

You know what it's like when you don't know anything at all, and yet you're totally certain that everything would be better if you were just near one particular person?
someone smarter than me needs to write a full breakdown of how a lot of modern "feminism" is actually just christian complementarianism wearing a pink trenchcoat
#so much of it is just propaganda to encourage women to embrace “our natural role”#including the idea that women are uniquely virtuous/intuitive/nurturing/vulnerable/special/etc#divine feminine and all that you're literally just regurgitating the stuff that's supposed to make us content to be subordinate#it's not even a shiny new coat half the time it's the exact same stuff regressive churches explicitly teach (@thatdiabolicalfeminist)
From now on I'm calling these kinds of AIs "Spicy Autocomplete".
artificial intelligence can't be a pathological liar. it is a robot that puts words in a row without a brain. similar to a procedurally generated minecraft world, or a bad twitter ceo. there arent thoughts behind it no matter how convincing it seems.
Anyway, fuck Adobe, and enjoy!

WHAT?!
I study graphic design and my tutor recommended and used this in his classes at art college last year, it’s so good it has SO many features for free, I really recommend it, even if you’re just trying to learn the basics of PS, such a wonderful thing <3
The fact that Judaism is trending because of both the wave of bomb threats on synagogues and Bradley Cooper's Antisemitism Adventure (his huge fake prosthetic nose, and him basically stealing the story from a Jewish man) is so infuriating and so exhaustingly typical.
The fact that I see Judaism trending on Tumblr and immediately think "oh no. Something Bad is happening to us." We're never trending cause it's fucking good. I never get to be excited, it's just cold dread.
The fact that Antisemitism is getting worse everyday and the only ones who ever talk about it are other Jews. The fact that no one else fucking cares. The only ones who support us are other Jews. Even when gentiles talk about Nazis or white supremacists they don't want to help us. We're just their prop, the canary in the coal mine and the perfect victim.
The fact that everyone's uncomfortable with Jews still being here. Reminding them of things they'd rather forget.
The fact that it'd be easier for them if we were all dead. Then they could tell stories about our people, dressed in offensive caricatures, without us making a fuss.
Can a pro piracy girl and a pro physical media boy really fall in love
Yeah she pirates it and he converts it to physical media it's a match made in heaven and they're t4t also

actually i never experience negative consequences due to procrastination. i am occasionally blighted by god for unknowable reasons though
as is tradition, i've updated my: "hozier using terms of endearment on his songs" list.
"baby" remains number one with 9 new additions. he uses "baby" a total of 74 times throughout his entire (released) discography
"darling" was his favourite term this time around with 17 new additions. it went from only 9 to 26 times he used the term in his songs
"love" got 11 new additions. 17 in total
and last but not least he used "honey" one time. so that's 46 times he says "honey" now
