Sometimes when I sit quietly with my deer in headlights autism gaze I'm actually listening very intently. Sometimes I'm paying no attention whatsoever. You won't know the difference so beware. Be very aware of me I might be aware of you possibly

Which path should he choose?

The path of the warrior, the path of the scholar, or the path of the artist?

I'm going to have to be very careful about articulating this, but I believe this is an expression of extreme transphobia disguised as an accusation of racism against a 'white queer.' and I want everyone to take note of it.

Like, she is working overtime to give the impression that she is lambasting white queerness, when if you read between the lines, that simply isn't what's happening. There are assumptions baked into this post that are harmful to trans people of all kinds, even if you set aside my white feelings for a second, just look at that 3rd paragraph. "Their identity is a performance" doesn't just implicate me, it implicates my trans black friends who, under this worldview, cannot have any intersecting experiences between their queerness and their race. They are oppressed *only* because of their race, and it follows that any white person speaking about their own experience is just making stuff up from nothing. It's really slick, inserting virulent and unapologetic trans-misogynoir directly into what looks and feels like an epic dunk on an ignorant white.

Please do not misconstrue, I'm not upset on behalf of "white queers," I learned to shut up about ~reverse racism~ when I was 15. describing queer identity as a "performance" is simply far bigger of a claim than you believe it to be.

I spy, with my little eye, a photo that was faked by an AI image generator! Can you spot the clues?

FB is turning into a parade of fake AI images churned out by click-farming pages. More misinformation is on the way. Learn some tricks for spotting AI photos!

enough reclaiming slurs, I think in 2023 we should reclaim nascar. they banned the confederate flag on all properties & their stance on lgbtq+ isn’t just performative bc in 2013 they fined a driver 10k for using a homophobic slur, condemned indiana in a statement for an anti lgbt law, and partnered w carolina’s lgbt+ chamber of conference in 2022. nascar was founded by anti-cop moonshiners/bootleggers who drove suped-up fords to out-run the police. #yaaascar

Another fundraiser I trust!

I've just had a long conversation with @haneenatya, I know a lot of people were asking me if she was a legit account and I couldn't fully answer before, but now I know for sure she is real and legit and this fundraiser has already been vetted before independently by this group on IG, and I got some proof myself as well.

This is a genuine fundraiser and a genuine tumblr account. Please help this family evacuate, they had a lot of hope of being able to restart their lives elsewhere. They have already lost more family members than most people reading this have in their entire extended family.

i know i'm doing something good by speaking frankly and cogently about the embarrassing parts of me, i see your messages. thank you.

As it always is with TERFs, there's no good or bad actions, just good and bad teams. It's useless to cry hypocrisy, like of course I notice when they say TRAs are always spewing violent rhetoric and then say I should be fed into a woodchipper without missing a beat. I notice when I'm accused of emotional manipulation because I expressed upset over being told I was making up my sexual assault just to get my own rocks off at the stories people offer me in support, and then those same people morally harangue me for sending them mass harassment and nearly causing a suicide. TERFs are living in a fantasy world where they are the first ones to stand up to any given trans woman, they think their pain alone is based in long standing trauma while my pain is just desserts. It's not hypocritical, it is perfectly consistent and unanimously applied wickedness.

so i went to my local dollar store the other day nd found these g4.5 pony blind bag thingies for like $3 each

nd first of all lemme tell u, these are not high quality figures, but fuck if i didnt want a little twilight sparkle figure for my desk. so i was reasonable and got only 2 packs instead of All Of Them and figured it was 2 tries at a 1/4 chance, whatever right? best case scenario i get twi and rarity, worst case i get 2 rainbow dash

well as soon as i thought the worst case into existence i KNEW i fucked up. in that moment i was one with the universe and the universe was in my bones and i had tempted fate herself and was going to pay the price

i went home and opened the bags.

and i got 2 rainbow dash.

okay!! fine!!! we’re going to do it this way, are we? like no flame to rd, it just so happens if u have 6 main characters in a show and rank them, one of them is gonna b at the bottom of my list and thats ok! it’s just id really rather have a twilight sparkle figure please and thank you

so i went back to the store a day later and bought 3 more packs. each one a 1/4 chance for twilight sparkle. and as i was walking home i thought to myself:

“man, it’d b funny if this time i got every other figure except for twilight”

well guess what?

i got a rarity, a pinkie, and another rainbow dash :)

i tempted fate again and yknow what? thats on me! fool me once shame on me and all that, i had it coming. so now im here with my 3 rainbow dashes and 0 twilight sparkles and my crippling gacha addiction gene rearing its head for the first time since i managed to quit spending irl money on pngs of anime girls in 2019

i went back to the store.

i bought all the remaining bags they had.

i had 5 more tries. 5 more 1/4 chances to get a twilight sparkle figure. 5 more 1/4 chances to get a SINGLE figurine of my favourite character, and 5 more 1/4 chances to get yet another one of my least favourite.

i figured this time the odds were in my favour. i may have passed stats on a technicality, but at least i figured i’d given myself the best odds i could. and in my hubris i thought to myself:

“at least there’s no way they’re all rainbow dash”

well :)

i clearly hadnt learned my lesson

i’d tempted fate again, and FUCK if she doesnt know how to commit to the bit because,

i walked home from the dollar store.

i opened the last 5 bags.

and all of them were fucking rainbow dash.

I am once again thinking about digging holes

It's so fucked up that digging a bunch of holes works so well at reversing desertification

I hate that so much discourse into fighting climate change is talking about bioenginerring a special kind of seaweed that removes microplastics or whatever other venture-capital-viable startup idea when we have known for forever about shit like digging crescent shaped holes to catch rainwater and turning barren land hospitable
