reminder that donating just a few $ to gofundme campaigns actually helps, you don't have to donate huge amounts if you don't have the funds, every little bit is useful. give $10, $5, even $1. it all adds up. don't scroll past because you think you can't help. help in your own capacity. donate a dollar. share and speak up.
I posted this on an aroace subreddit and what I loved is that everyone seemed to have their own interpretation of what it meant and how it applied to them.
i think shadow working for g.u.n. could be interesting IN THEORY however when it's played straight aka he's just a fed with no nuance yeah no i hate that shit. like first of all, they killed his sister. a child. in cold blood right in front of him. so if you want to make him work for them DESPITE THAT, then you better find a damn good justification. second of all, g.u.n. doesn't see him as human. they view him as their property. and more than that--he's a liability. a threat. he's already tried to destroy the world once. who's to say he won't again? of course it makes sense for g.u.n. to want to keep him on a tight leash. but shadow bites back. remember that.
In bonobo societies, all bonobos frequently engage in sexual contact with other members of the community, regardless of sex. Female bonobos in particular are quite promiscuous with both fellow females and males; thus, bonobo society is matrilineal or matrifocal. Since the patriline of each member is unknown due to female bonobos having many sexual partners, the female bonobos take communal care of their collective young, and the male bonobos take on other community-care roles instead. It is theorized that this leads to lower levels of violent conflict, as opposed to chimpanzee, human, and other primate societies that are patriarchal, since male members of these societies must find ways to identify their offspring which inevitably leads to violent, controlling behavior toward female members as well as violence & competitive behavior toward other males who may pose a threat to their social statuses. Bonobo societies are extremely peaceful in comparison to other primate societies.
The feature musical film Mamma Mia! (2008), directed by Phyllida Lloyd, shows an example of what a matrifocal society, resembling the structure of bonobo society, could look like for humans; where several females care for a child whose exact paternity is unknown, and instead of violence resort to prosocial behavior (joyfully singing and dancing) in order to resolve conflict. In this essay I will attempt to
lol i hate today’s era of absolutely zero nuance takes. a friend didn’t behave exactly as you’d wanted them to? cut them off. a guy didn’t text you back instantly bc he has his own life? he’s just giving you breadcrumbs. doing something makes you uncomfortable? don’t do it anymore. someone isn’t instantly available for you? disinterest. just absolutist statements that often don’t apply to the multilayer situations of everyday life. like. stop. literally just stop it
man, I hate aus that come from weird sonic dreams *wink wink*
Had a dream last night that there was this Sonic spinoff cartoon where Sonic sacrifices himself at the end in a literal blaze of glory and dream me, in true me fashion, went ''okay but what if he survived but was all burnt alive and stuff''.
