"people in real life: hey man how's it going" is a killer phrase. instantly neutralizes whatever insane discourse you find online. gonna start using that from now on

saw a grown woman on tiktok snidely calling gen z the christopher columbus generation bc someone’s fifteen year old son ‘thought he’d discovered weezer’. newsflash every generation finds out about the music of the previous generation at some point it comes free with being fifteen. being annoying about music also comes free with being fifteen. a kid saying yeah i’ve just found this band nirvana have you ever heard of them should be a thing of joy

#seriously!! #like im gen z but got a lot of music taste from my family #i love when people find music i like! #it was exciting when ppl discovered the cramps because of wednesday because theyre a good band !! #finding out my friend knew of ween because of a meme was fun!! #now you just have more people to gush about music with!!

Why are y'all still using the word 'Middle East'. We've had this conversation already.

At some point in your life, you were taught that being slightly annoying is an unforgivable sin. Maybe it was by your parents or a teacher or a friend or a bully or an older sibling. But someone taught you that being slightly annoying is a crime punishable by death.

You must unlearn this.

You must accept that all people will be annoying at some point or another in their lives, maybe all of their lives, and that this is okay. It is okay for strangers on the bus, it is okay for children in the grocery store, it is okay for people on social media, and it is okay for you.

If you ever want to truly love your fellow humans, if you ever want to truly love yourself, you must have forgiveness for being annoying.

unavoidable that you will be the villain in someone else's story. You will be painted in an unfavorable light. You will be the irredeemable one. and all of this will happen despite how nice you might usually be or how kind or how respectful or how warm. and you will just have to move on.

I’m gonna be honest I do not care if a trans boy teen is annoying and has horrible taste in music y’all are just mean.

I’d rather hang around with Karkat who listens to Cavetown than someone who is mean.

#i cannot comment on the minecraft stuff idk anything about that #but i dont even care if youre a teen or an adult #youre allowed to be annoying and weird and cringe #personally i think it does us some good to embrace being annoying and cringe

ithink wearing a faggy outfit and listening to shitty music will solve most if not all of yr problems

#mood tbh #also applicable with watching bad movies in my experience #we could all benefit from having worse taste

My name is Alia. . Palestinian woman in Gaza. Mother of 4 children. I need your support to get me, my children, my mother and my father out of stricken Gaza. Every donation, no matter how small, will help save our lives. If you can't donate, help me by posting the link. Thank you from the heart

So I've spoken to Alia here (yes I know, I was suspicious of this account too at first). After a series of texts exchanged in DMs and photo proof, I was able to verify this fundraiser as vetted!

They just started this fundraiser! Do not hesitate to donate!

OKAY series of polls about sock preferences because i'm a curious autistic fuck:

(if you don't wear socks don't answer any of the other questions)

I’m feeling like some of y’all forget the term transneutral exists. If I have to see another posts acting like transfem and transmasc are the only groups of trans people ever I’m going to explode.

And if for whatever reason you want to talk specifically about amab nonbinary ppl/afab nonbinary ppl the terms MtX and FtX are right there.

#new word for me nice

the pet

big PET PEEVE of mine regarding creative advice is when big timers frame things as 'let me tell you what is not valid creation'. i personally always try to frame as 'let me tell you what IS valid creation' because if you are talkin art then, guess what, EVERYTHING IS VALID

my BUCKAROO SENSES always get triggered over these discussions of ‘THIS IS THE SET WAY YOU HAVE TO DO THINGS TO MAKE IT BIG’ because... it is just not true. i mean HECK just look at my career. (and EXTRA LARGE WARNING if someone is charging for this 'advice’)

instead what i personally look for, and what i try to do myself, is say ‘this is what worked for me it might not be for everyone but i am happy to tell you about my path and you can take from that what you will. it is not the RIGHT path, it is MY path. LETS SHARE’

of course this is mostly SEMANTICS you could probably go back through my posts and find thousands of times when i messed this up, but this is what i TRY to do because it is what i believe. YOUR PATH IS JUST AS VALID AS MINE whether it is well traveled or cutting through the brush

alright buckaroos thank you for listening to my ART RAMBLES. LOVE IS REAL lets get out there and TROT

#oh i love this #love is real

I believed in you and your love. Please do not let me down and save my family from this war. Take them out of Sudan so that they can enjoy some stability and security.

This is my house after it was bombed in June and we are inside it

Save my family please🙏
