reblog to give your mutuals tiny Chilean good luck pigs

I am Chilena!! 🇨🇱 and this is true, I have some myself!!

They don’t just come as a tiny pig, though. My mom has a really big one we use as a rice holder pot, and they can also be bigger, like this:

Chanchito < CHANCHO 🐷❤️

necesito CHANCHISIMO

i went to a tiny counterserve diner once and accidentally poured sugar instead of salt all over my hashbrowns and was eating them sadly anyways. the waitress took them away and started making me another one and I tried to protest, but she just snorted and said "we're not catholic here". now every time i'm doing something painful out of obligation i think about how that is not repenting, this body is not a catholic establishment, there is no nobility in suffering.

my brother and I don't say "mcdonalds" when referring to the fast food chain. we've always said "mcnaldo's", then it became "naldo's". now it's simply "nald". and we always refer to it as a single unit. like "do you want a nald?"

Some "Did you know"s about AO3 tags from a tag wrangler volunteer

  • It takes 3 unique identifiable users (no anons, no unidentified orphans) for a fandom-specific freeform tag to be canonized.
  • Relationship tags are primarily alphabetized by last name.
  • If you see that something like "- Freeform" or "- Character" has been added automatically to a tag you used, it means it exists in another category already.
  • If you use a tag that is marked as a subtag of another tag, it will show up in the search for the metatag as well - so if you tag "Hybrid TommyInnit (Video Blogging RPF)" it will automatically show up in "Hybrids"!
  • Many larger fandoms have tags show up in odd places because certain fandoms are used as holding bins. For example you may see MCYT tags in 30 Day SMP | Free Trial SMP as we use it as our collective bin for tags we can't do anything with.
  • You don't have to use the canonical tag for something if you don't want to. You can tag "BadBoyHalo" and it will still show up under "Darryl Noveschosch | BadBoyHalo" as tag wranglers connect tags together.
  • You can report issues with tags by submitting a support ticket using the "Technical Support & Feedback" button on the bottom of any AO3 page.
  • The Wrangling Guidelines are publicly available to read here!

You don't have to understand someone completely to respect them and fight for their right to exist.

I always say it but in-fighting and self policing is oppression on autopilot. Don't fall for it.

People who aren't familiar with animal behaviour - especially when it comes to wild animals - are surprised and delighted when a wild animal that's usually averse to human contact seems to be completely tame. It's cute! Look at this little buddy, look at how friendly she is! You see pictures like that on the internet sometimes, people snapping photos of themselves and their friends picking up this incredibly sweet and docile beautiful piece of wildlife.

The truth is, that is mortifying. An animal acting unnaturally is always a bad sign. That creature is too sick or delirious to flee from a predator. Depending on what's wrong with that poor thing, their unexpected - well, unanticipated - bite might infect you, too. A creature that can't comprehend, or can't bother to care, that they're in danger is dangerous by default.

I wonder if that would apply to humans interacting with supernatural creatures. Like they emit vibes so bad that humans just fucking bolt at the first hint of it, the aura of Sense Of Impending Doom radiates from them at Demon Core doses, you'd chew your leg off like a trapped animal to escape it.

And then these creatures find a human that is so thorougly depleted of fucks to give that they honestly just don't fucking care anymore. Looking at unfathomable cosmic horrors like "yeah this might as well be happening" and doesn't even flinch at the unfathomable hand reaching to grasp them.

And the entities are like "omg look it's letting me pick it up! it's completely tame!", blisfully unaware that a human being who has reached a point this far beyond fearing death will not hesitate to kill a god.

My mom was having trouble using they/them prnouns with some friends for a while. One day she said “I think the problem is that I haven’t changed the way I view their gender outside of their pronouncs which adds several extra steps in converting binary pronouns to they/them then conjugating it. So I need to shift how I see them as a gendered person entirely to make using their pronouns easier.” And since then she hardly ever messes up.

This is literally why people mess up pronouns and why it’s a problem.

Like the reason you’re not calling me “they” is because you still think of me as gendered the way you initially assumed. It’s not just the pronouns I want you to change, they only serve as an acknowledgement of the gender I want you to adjust your perspective to. If you did that, you wouldn’t struggle with it.

“Rules are, you can't—” “Yeah, yeah,” you cut off, “I can’t wish for more wishes. Should I also assume I can’t wish I can wish for more wishes?” At this, the genie pauses.

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

“what’s your five year plan” bro i wake up every day confused by the fact that i’m even alive

Young people and old people's complacency and acceptance of autoplay terrifies me if I'm finished a video and another begins playing THAT I DIDN'T CHOOSE I'm already loading my gun

ok i know i'm one to talk but genuinely if you think 👍 or ❤️ is "passive aggressive" you might be spending a bit too much time on your phone jeez louise

who thinks 👍 is passive aggressive i read it as an old timey mobster going "on it boss"

Whenever I use thumbs up I'm sticking my hand out from under a pile of rubble, too exhausted to speak, but signalling I'm okay
