gentle, soothing, refreshing, a quiet murmur, hydration with no chance of hail

soft rain is good for the soul. too often, we describe rain in negative terms. today, we challenge you to describe it in positive ones.

I got the chance to road trip out to the path of totality! My phone camera didn’t do it justice, so I painted what I saw instead 🌞🌚

Here’s the photo I took and the sketch I made with my finger in the notes app while watching it happen 😆

#I haven't had a chance yet to see a total eclipse #only annular and partials #but someday!

🔹 Someone else's fiction cannot cause you physical harm.

🔹If someone else's fiction is causing you emotional or psychological harm, or distress, you can put it down and not read/watch it.

🔹Your emotional well-being is not the responsibility of fiction writers.

🔹Someone else's fiction is not about your personal trauma.

🔹When reading or watching fiction, you always have the power. You can always stop. You are never reading fiction without your own consent.

🔹Fiction writers are not responsible for other people's mental health.

🔹The content of a piece of fiction does not reflect on the morality of its author.

🔹Just because someone writes about bad things happening, doesn't mean they want those things to happen.

🔹Don't like? Don't read.

I think the best most human thing in the world is strangers doing a silly thing together

[ddpej]

I kind of want the boops to stay forever. after a few days it'll calm down and then I can just boop my beloved mutuals occasionally when I see them on the dash or in my notifs to say hello I love you

it's so good-- someone in one of my discords is stitching it, and I'm always blown away by how good each panel looks

(Source) A lot of nonbinary-flag stuff doesn't speak to me, but I love this one from @the-delta-quadrant!

#there are multiple flags of the queer community that apply to me #but this one is easily the most relevant to my daily life #and the one I wish more people recognized

When absolutely 0 of Biden’s accomplishments have made any kind of news, and we’ve been fed a steady diet of fear and panic for 3 years, no one gets to be shocked when he loses the next election to Donald 2.0.

Posting anything positive about the president here will get you called a capitalist bootlicker.

What do we expect to happen?

Anger sells better. Anger feels better, it feels righteous.

It’s easier to protest against a president you don’t like then to actually remain in charge and keep pushing ahead, even if small, consistent accomplishments are all you receive.

#the biden administration knows how to work the system and they've been quietly chugging along at it in so many unnoticed ways #it's so important that we give them a chance to keep doing it

They are already selling data to midjourney, and it's very likely your work is already being used to train their models because you have to OPT OUT of this, not opt in. Very scummy of them to roll this out unannounced.

i’m a firm believer that leap day should be a free day no matter what. i don’t care if it’s a thursday everything is put on pause for everyone and we all get to hang out and enjoy the extra day that only comes once ever four years. peace and love on planet earth.

Not romantic not platonic but a secret third thing (drift compatible)
