Guyss, everyone is always saying "Soap's stupid mohawk" but you know what?? I adore his mohawk so much and I really do think it suits his and that they couldn't have chosen a better haircut for him. Neil Ellice also absolutely nailed the mohawk. Just look.

Thanks for listening

the only way they could make it better is to make it longer honestly. it's so good I love it and everyone who doesn't like it is being a hater 🫵🫵🫵

i'm just here to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY WATER BOY!!

EXACTLY!

I wholeheartedly believe that straight men are envious of gay men and their relative freedom from patriarchal pressures. A gay man can walk into a bar and order a “girly” cocktail if he wants to. He can cry and be outwardly emotional. He can be vulnerable and sensitive. He doesn’t always have to be “in charge.” These pressures slowly crush cishet men and when they see someone free of that weight they feel a deep jealousy.

It occurs to me that this is something homophobia and fatphobia have in common.

So many diet cultists lose their minds when presented with a fat person who isn't miserable and shame-ridden and celibate. They view thinness as a prerequisite to having basic human dignity, in the same way that homophobes/transphobes view gender conformity as a prerequisite to having basic human dignity.

Body policing is the same.

‘bread is bad for you’ ‘rice is bad for you’ sorry im not subscribing to the idea that staple grains that have been integral to cultures for centuries are evil. i love you carbs

"This food is extremely good at supplying a lot of easily available energy to you, so you should definitely avoid it to be healthier."

I think I will avoid you to be healthier instead. Good day.

some tweets i saw and said “yEAH” to

white people please just purchase native artwork and jewelry from native people i keep seeing idiot white people be like “waaah i wish i could support native creators but its cultural appropriation” girl why would beaders sell you their earrings then. just dont get a medicine wheel or a thunderbird then like damn it is that easy

If Native folks are making it to sell to white people with the approval of their tribe, it’s not “appropriation”–its support and appreciation! So yes, buy that native-made dream catcher, but not the mass produced fakes made by white people. Like, you can go to a pow wow and buy native crafts there, too.

here are some places to get native/indigenous goods and merch online if you can’t find something local or if physical access is an obstacle:

https://sweetgrasstradingco.com/ https://nativeharvest.com/ https://byellowtail.com/ https://www.salishstyle.com/ https://trickstercompany.com/ https://hutxh.com/ https://www.thentvs.com/ https://urbannativeera.com/ https://www.oxdxclothing.com/ https://kotahbear.com/ https://www.totemdesignhouse.com/ https://ginewusa.com/ https://eighthgeneration.com/

and the only native-owned comic shop in the world: https://redplanetbooksncomics.com/

This semester in college we’ve been working with a company in an indigenous museum to help their sales

They work with native artists in all of Brazil, so the site is in portuguese

Buying from indigenous artists is not appropriation!

No single line has ever wrecked me as hard as this one from the Good Place and I think about it constantly

trans people i’m happy you’re alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i’m so glad you’re here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! keep doing your best!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A galaxy I love it

reblogging this again actually because more galaxy

Sex workers have been organizing for decriminalization and autonomy in India in MASSIVE numbers for decades but swerfs in the western world (tbh including a lot of rich and/or upper caste diaspora “activists” ive encountered) will keep acting like 3rd world sex workers are feeble silent victims who need to be rescued (aka policed and criminalized). Anyways just for starters read about the Durbar Mahila Samanwaya Committee whose programs include, among other things, a banking cooperative run by and for sex workers in West Bengal so they can have control over their own finances, sports teams for the children of sex workers and other marginalized communities, robust health education and HIV prevention resources, and a creative and performing arts wing.

Also the Global Network of Sex Worker Projects

Actually Ive decided to be angry now

Elon Musk’s attorneys are immolating themselves as we speak

Because I'm only seeing other Jews posting about this, non-Jews I need you to be aware that for the past month or two there has been a wave of bomb threats and swattings at synagogues all across the US. They usually do it when services are being livestreamed. I haven't seen a single non-Jew talking about this. High holidays are coming up in a few weeks, which is when most attacks happen against our communities. We're worried, and we need people to know what's happening to us.

None of the major news outlets are running it. I had to Google it. Everyone is so distracted by the rest of the nation’s fuckery right now.

AITA for not telling my son we know he’s queer. I 40s(m) and my wife 40s(f) have a 17 (m) son lately he’s been sneaking around and keeps almost starting to come out and then backing out or getting interrupted. It’s exhausting and I think we should just tell him we know but I’m not sure that’s the best course of action? I worry it might come off wrong.the worst part is his grades have been slipping and if he’s sneaking around with a boyfriend that might be what was causing it? I don’t care if he has a boyfriend I just want him to succeed.

EDIT: nvm he’s Spider-Man

One of my favorite tricks for designing alien species/cultures is to take a real animal with an interesting lifecycle and think about what that biology would translate to if they had human intelligence

Example: silk moths as a base species

Because the moths themselves don’t eat and only live long enough to mate and then starve to death, the entire culture is made up of children and adolescents. The older children raise the younger ones, with families being made up of hatchmates from different years.

Because molts and eventual transformation into a short lived adult happen on a set schedule, families have a cycle— when your oldest set of siblings cocoon to become adults, you wait at the mating grounds and try to adopt their newborns after they pass. If that fails, you take any ‘orphans’ you can find.

Because death and birth are nearly simultaneous, they have a religion based around reincarnation, and infants with markings similar to a parent are often given their name. Claiming the offspring of a beloved family member is vitally important, because you want to be able to protect their soul and keep them close.

Because it’s hard to track the offspring of your male family members, there are sometimes major fights when a family sees an infant with familiar markings in another family’s clutch.

Between mating seasons, their culture is extremely food-oriented, because everyone is growing and silkworms eat nigh constantly. They spend most of their lives outdoors but sleep and shelter from bad weather in large family dwellings made from wood and the remains of the silk cocoons of prior generations.

everyone is really vibing with the silkworm aliens I see
