this is a poem

i couldn’t not draw this

[ID for the original image: a tweet from user @bestinsio reading, subway rat made eye contact with me and said “join us. when the train comes we slide under the tracks and feel it rumble over us like a warm thunderstorm. we live forever and welove to live” I said no thank you l am too large he turned away from me cried /end ID]

The comment added on an illustrated version of the original tweet, perhaps someone can add on an id for that?

bc ive been seeing a huge influx of people rbing from @/biggest-gaudiest-patronuses and their sideblog @/smallest-feeblest-boggart i would like to remind everyone that they’re a giant creep that you all need to stop giving a platform to.

here’s a google doc with a fairly complete list of their nastiness if you somehow haven’t heard this info before

rbing again to say that their sideblog is now @/national-shitpost-registry

I wanna be a cowboy baaaaby

it makes me so sad that there are still bisexuals who think they aren’t allowed to use butch/femme labels

and like genuinely if people are still telling you that butch/femme aren’t for bisexuals then you need to find better circles because those aren’t your friends

zoomers i am going to give you some fathrly advice: really plucked brows are coming back. dont do it. you cn permanently fuck them up and in 5 yrs when its not on trend you will look like shit. a groomed natural brow works in every era of fashion theres lots of ways to comb and style brows to trend without mangling them. im just saying this as someone who saw what happened to 80s moms who went crazy wth the tweezers

This picture from Syria protesting war in Ukraine actually made me tear up.

Abandoned by the world, destroyed and still having enough compassion to think about others.

best part of the internet is the option to not engage. maybe i don’t want to have this convo. goodbye

“Many of my movies have strong female leads - brave, self-sufficient girls that don’t think twice about fighting for what they believe in with all their heart. They’ll need a friend, or a supporter, but never a saviour. Any woman is just as capable of being a hero as any man.” -Hayao Miyazaki

i really cannot emphasize this enough the only thing that will ever stop me from having a good time and being myself is being killed

when hayao miyazaki said that true love was two people inspiring each other to live…recognizing just how hard living is, putting one foot in front of the other every day, how easy it is to lose our passion for it…… that’s the real shit
