#but i dont wanna call off work

"Oh no, someone's attracted to the aesthetics of my -punk movement but doesn't know the praxis and history behind it like I do--"

OK. Tell them. Make it a teaching moment. Everyone who's in your movement learned the background from somewhere at some point, maybe this is that point for that person. Give them a jumping off point that they can dive into later.

"Oh but I shouldn't be responsible for teaching baby -punks about the history and the how-tos and--"

OK. Then don't tell them. You don't have to be responsible for teaching people with a budding interest in your group the ins and outs and how-tos. That's fair and valid! It can be a lot of work. Someone else will handle it

"But I'm annoyed that they would try to claim to be part of/be interested in my community without knowing all the details that I know after being in it for months/years/decades, they're dumb, they're posers, they're--"

OK. Then don't engage with them, if it's that bad. Maybe someone else will come around and tell them the history, maybe they'll pick it up on their own, maybe they'll just enjoy the fashion elements for awhile.

"But they shouldn't claim to be part of the -punk community if they don't know the--"

I feel like we have a few options here. People can either talk to them, share the history, share the values, share the praxis. Or they can just chase off anyone who even thinks about dipping a toe in their community, and then wonder why it's dying off later down the line.

I dunno, maybe I'm too naive and patient or whatever. But if people are entering your -punk spaces without knowing The Rundown of what you feel they need to know, maybe being nice about it and informing people instead of immediately assuming stupidity and malicious intent could help you make a new friend. Even the loudest voices in a space had to learn from somewhere, and not everyone has the luxury of being in the space as the History was Happening--whether it's an age thing or a not being aware of the space thing. Or maybe I just don't see what the big deal is behind people hating people who like the aesthetic of something and don't know the behind the scenes history about it yet.

Because I believe in the word 'yet.' No one comes into this world knowing everything about everything, and we're all constantly learning new things. I'm not gonna degrade someone and call them a poser for not knowing what I know. Because if it were me, interested in a scene but getting chased out and called a poser? I wouldn't hit the books and study up, I'd go 'that fuckin sucks, those people sucked' and then avoid anyone and anything having to do with it.

So chase people off and call them posers if you want. But if your community starts dwindling, don't be fucking shocked.

#out of queue #ani rambles #punks and posers #i cant even call this a 4am hot take because its 7pm but like #idk i keep seeing posts about like 'how DARE people think I bought my punk clothes how DARE they not know the how-tos and DIYs' #or 'ugh people only care about the ~aesthetics~ of my movement if you don't know shit get out of here' and like #maybe I'm just a shy ass introverted nerd whos scared of social rejection! but I avoid that shit like the plague #so if someone were to reject me based on not knowing about something I'd never even heard about? something i was JUST getting into? #there's a high chance I'd just scram and never look back. i don't wanna be the one who causes that emotion in someone else #granted this is coming from someone who STILL doesn't know how to make her own patches or worked up the courage to do direct action praxis #outside of offering neighbors to my tomatoes and trying to talk to people about what I'm passionate about #but still imo unless someone's a malicious intentional bad actor i dont see the point in scaring newbies off #thats how movements die imo #i know this is my solarpunk blog but its not a solarpunk specific thing #i think the main post that inspired this was about store-bought versus self-made spiked leather jackets #which honestly just feels petty to me but who knows. #might delete later

doodles of my fav sillies

anton belongs to @poicyss

#my brain is a barbie dreamhouse and theyre all just living in it #im especially fond of the second one because my mom used to hold me like that all the time <3 #im drawing them a lot lately because im being crushed by the horrors and have to compensate for it somehow #homemade comfort blorbos...... #watch me draw anton inconsistently bc i can never decide if i wanna draw him close to how he actually looks #or yassify him and give him soft fluffy hair and kind eyes and defined features. head in my hands #i dont really have a lot of drawing ideas for them bc they dont have like. a canon storyline or anything methinks #its just stuff me and bow toss around and giggle abt thru messages lol. maybe ill draw infant vincent one of these days #i just come up with stuff and draw them doing it. it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside #cuz like anton works for lobocorp as an abnormality BUT hes super duper chill and cute and does his funny little tasks so its fine #AND hes unkillable. auggie is an oc ive had since like 6th grade and i smushed them together. and vincent was for fun but i got attached #i dont have much of a read on anton either bc i think hes meant to be more of an insert character??? if im using that right #on one hand i dont think too hard abt anything being ooc since im not taking it seriously. on the other hand i just hold them in my hands #and stare into space until i can come up with something to draw since i dont have much to go off of. but its fun to build on small tidbits! #i think bow called it an au so i guess??? its an au????? im not really sure. bow if youre reading this im just willy nilly #the only thing i know for sure is that they boink like rabbits. im talking gomez and morticia levels of boinking #maybe ill go back and look at my old doodles for them and redraw em lol #myart #my art #my oc #oc #friend oc #augusta #anton #vincent #sillies family #doodles

ngl, the more I think about it, the more I feel conflicted over how people sexualize my characters.

On the one hand, it would be silly to deny that I don't go out of my way to create aesthetically pleasing/attractive characters because I love to draw what I enjoy, and I love it when people simp for them.

But on the other hand, sometimes it does bother me that people are so fixated on sex and their own arousal that they miss important lore/plot information that I get a bit frustrated

#txt #i dont really mind that people missed the fact that powers had horns but i do have issues with people thinking the scene would lead up to #sex??? lili had a very clearly shocked face but people were expecting them to just. have sex and fall in love #twitter and instagram is pretty respectful to my works but i think webtoons and especially tiktok (good lord tiktok) is where people are #just. like they're not even paying attention because they wanna fuck my ocs lol #its a lot of work to try to give these incredibly short comics decent pacing and dialogue and it sucks when people ignore gestures or #verbal communication because they saw powers muscled chest and went 'oh yeah. its sex time' #i started posting my bugtopia comics to tiktok and these people are so goddamn obsessed with sexualizing everything that i read comments #where people were expecting arachne to peg her FOUR YEAR OLD SON #and its like. hey guys. im glad you enjoy my work but i dont like how you cannot perceive my characters as anything #but something to whack off to #anyways i dont see myself discussing this on twitter because unfortunately people have 0 fucking reading comprehension lol #to this day i get rude messages accusing me of hating people who enjoy lesbian media or finding my characters hot #because i asked people to not call me a fucking f*ggot when i draw to men kissing

@naffeclipse you've seen this one but I'm posting it today for the serotonin boost, so have a callback to the first doodles &lt;3

[standfucker]

not gonna lie yall, it feels like all I do is either work or recover from work and it's bumming me out big time

#I don't have a chronic illness. I shouldn't be taking this long to recover #idk why I can't get home from work and go straight to writing #it's like I have to spend a day mustering up the will to live in the face of ongoing capitalism #it's my own fault. I would have had a two day weekend but they asked me to come in to cover someone and my clown ass said sure #I want to be pissed at the coworker who called off but it's my own fault for accepting #I had a phone interview today and I am ANXIOUS to know if they're going to bring me in for a second interview I NEED a better job #I just want a job where I dont dread going to work and also maybe get paid more than minimum wage #feeling really depressed about capitalism and working forever and knowing I'll never be able to afford a house #I WANT TIME TO DO MY HOBBIES GOD DAMN IT ;A; #also im lonely as hell. how am I supposed to go out and meet people if I'm too tired to do anything #I wanna meet someone. I wanna be loved romantically.

Salty bitch in me sooooo satisfied by the fact that I probably make more money than the person who made my life hell last year lmfaooooo

#speculation nation #chatting with a coworker about how they ended up seeing her by chance #and she Asked about me. she seemed so preoccupied with me Specifically it seems! #and she apparently mentioned how shed consider coming back here and im just loke #lmfaoooooo girl im in charge of the hiring now and there is no WAY id hire her back #even without the personal grievances. she just caused some Real problems. like hell id accept her back. #but also she was a total BITCH to me. like really fucking nasty. and yeah maybe im still holding a grudge about it! #im a chill person but when someone makes me cry that hard for that long TWICE #yeah fuckin right id hire you back. keep dreaming. #anyways ive just been hanging out at work and chatting Whoops hfkshfj #my shift ended an hour and a half ago. i really should be going home soon. #the good news is i should be able to secure the lease renewal for only $40 more than the original renewal offer #the bad news is they havent replied since sending that which means its not in writing yet #WHICH MEANS the showing is still on for tomorrow. ugh. #which means i need to clean. blegh. #i guess having the pressure to clean isnt the worst but i really dont wanna lmaooo #at least i do have tomorrow off. i can make it work... #but yea my anxiety is a lot more manageable now. tempered by the satisfaction of being better paid than an old enemy #IT'S KIND OF FUNNY to call her that but she kind of is. it was mostly 1 sided bc she took issue with Me #i was fine being friendly work acquaintances but noooo she had to go and make my life fucking hell for several months #the social atmosphere has changed man. im not letting a snake back in. #im a nice person but i am a Resentful person. if youve wronged me i am never fucking forgetting. #but yeah i make more money than her ❤️ yay ❤️

What is the point of insurance. I file a claim. They call me. Say they need more information. None of the information is about the actual incident, it’s all stuff they already have on file about my car (make and model, license plate, etc). Oh! They also have to ask if I had a child’s car seat in the car at the time of the incident, because apparently that’s important. And finally after all of this I ask, “so now what? Are you gonna pay for this?” and the lady goes “to be completely honest, it will probably be cheaper for you to find a shop on your own that will do it the cheapest than go through one connected with your insurance because you’re technically at fault for this and will end up paying for it out of pocket most likely because of the way your copay is set up.” HELLO??? HELLO!?!? I’m at fault for someone breaking my window and trying to steal my car???? God fucking dammit I hate insurance why am I PAYING for this every month just for you to not cover anything 😭😭

#it is a new car and through the dealership I have a full warranty #so fingers crossed THEY will cover the window repair #I just know even if they do it will take WAY longer #and it’s starting to get cold out so I really don’t wanna have to drive long with no window #I guess it could be worse my drive to work is only about 15 min but stillllllll #idk I just called the dealership but no one was available to talk to in the repair center #so I left a message I hope they get back to me at some point in the next couple hours #if not I’ll try calling again #idk… absolute WORST case scenario and I can’t get insurance OR my warranty to cover this #it’ll probably be about 300 bucks based on the estimates I got from a couple other shops #which like is doable for me it’s not the end of the world #I’ll just be stretched tight for a month #and probably have to put off getting my wisdom teeth removed since I was JUST getting ready to set that up #since they’re getting really painful #(if insurance will even cover them el oh el if not I’ll just fucking suffer) #uuugggghhhhh this is just so fucking frustrating and annoying #even the insurance lady was like ‘ooo that sucks it’s a new car too’ #like YEAH GIRL I KNOW YOU DONT HAVE TO TELL ME #I’m 😭😭😭😭 #kaz rambles

had to train a weird guy at work. my friends keep insisting i should report him (bc he kept making sexual jokes/comments amongst other things) but hes friends w my boss (who is a pussy bitch) so it would just reflect badly back on me so its not worth it. also he was well intentioned i think... just weird...

#he kept looking at my chest which idc bc i never look at ppls eyes anyway but he kept calling himself out on it #like haha sorry i swear im just reading your shirt #at one point he said 'im just looking respectfully. maybe disrespectfully.' #and i cannot set a boundary to save my life so every time he did anything like that i just laughed it off #and then he kept calling me adorable if i forgot something or messed something up... and patted my head??? like wtf man leave me alone #i just work here #and so does he now i guess #anyway there was other stuff too but i dont wanna write an essay in the tags here #it was weird tho.

[todayisafridaynight]

poppo oc that i made as a joke accidentally breaching containment. maybe.

#snap chats #this is why we never do things 'as a joke' it stops being a joke eventually #i havent mentioned him for months hey LMAO BUT I WAS THINKING OF HIM TODAY i still like thinking of him.. #oh also i finally thought of his wife. affectionately called Momo. who works at the m store. 'pop' and 'mom' see name scheme there #i thought of letting her work at la marche but thats too extravagant me thinks #anyways 'snap what are you talking bout' no cause the more i thought of him #the more the idea of actually writing short stories ft This Guy having to deal with deranged yakuza every day made me giggle more #if you see me breed a handful of yakuza ocs in the coming days no you dont #really. you wont LMAO i dont plan on having them at all be associated with rgg #if i ever need to draw throwaway yakuza charas tho then sure ill let them ft but i doubt ill need to do that #hence. Breaching Containment #in that regard i might accidentally give him a real name... name after an actual place of course.. #like seiko.. based off seicomart of course... #in any case.. since i plan on streaming tomorrow i might talk more bout all this there. if anyones interested. #i know i wanna actually make a proper ref sheet for him so #i do have a goofy comic or two he might be able to ft in #anyway bye lemme work on this comm so i can sketch out that ref sheet

hey guys ive been busy all day so i havent been able to give u much content but whatever u do dont think abt this frame

#dont do it dont itll hurt dont think abt it #i can think abt it tho bc i have things to say #so basically alex is showing up after being ghosted for like a week bc henry left when alex tried to confess and say that he loves him #and here henry is still pushing him away and asking him to leave bc he cant handle him being there bc he loves him too much #and alex is telling him that he needs to like. demand for him to leave. otherwise hes not going anywhere. #the fact that henry BEGS for alex to not make him leave. is heartbreaking. #so henry wants to kinda. push alex into leaving so its alexs choice. rather than flat out saying he doesnt want him around bc thats not tru #and alex knows this teehee #henrys held onto him so tight so he wouldnt leave. and then when alex tells him that he needs to make him leave. he cant do it. #he cant cut alex off completely bc he adores him too much #even distancing for both of their sakes was hell for them #and henry cant make that final call. he cant be the one to call it off. bc all of his hard work to keep alex close wouldve been for nothing. #this scene makes me ill in the brain #anyway <3 dont think abt this frame if u wanna stay happy <3 #rwrb #rwrb movie #alex claremont diaz #henry fox #henry george edward james hanover stuart fox

anyways i think ive posted this before but the ADL and whatever "rational wiki" is (heard something negative abt it once idk what its about but) both have good index's on dogwhistles to look out for, of course for some things its hard to tell but take context clues and if they use a bunch of other dogwhistles into consideration if you suspect someone is alt right, also consider that some people are essentially taught this stuff w/o context of what it really means sometimes and might just use dogwhistles bc they dont know any better (thinking of minors here mostly). either way gauge for yourself if its safe enough to stick around to find out.

#dogwhistles #theres plenty of other websites i could link but i linked rational wiki specifically bc their index is bigger and includes more #niche internet dogwhistles than the adl one does. #that could also be because a lot of those niche internet dogwhistles are intentionally made with plausible deniability so the ADL #doesnt wanna list them lest they get accused of being paranoid or some shit. idk. #but i *will* say- some of these things isolated- like liking runes and pine trees.... i dont think is enough to work off of #(mostly speaking for myself on that last one bc i love pine trees and i used to like runes but never saw it in That way......) #and also some ppl are trying to reclaim pepe. esp since the guy who made it hated that neo nazis took him and did this to him #so ppl try to reclaim it. that also requires context to sleuth out if someones using it as a dogwhistle or not #in fact bc so many leftists were reclaiming pepe they decided to make a new one called a 'groyper' which is like. an obvious telltale sign #that person is a neo nazi if theyre using that one. #i also think its worth mentioning that theres a certain subsection of internet leftists who like to use these internet alt righters #terms to lure them in to truth and reality (see: vaush) it's like a meeting them at their level of understanding thing #it also shows them that you're not intimidated by their 'Secret Language' and can see it for what it is so if they try it on you #you can still counter them. so once again context matters. like if vaush is talking about someone 'hiding their power level' its him #acknowledging that thats a term they use in reference to hiding how deep in the rabbithole they are and making fun of them for that fact #bc theres something so inherently sad and funny about being that self aware that you're deranged that you gotta have a phrase you #use to hide it lmao. #not saying its great but. it seems to work at least to some degree in deconverting ppl from the alt right

caught the roommate's weather segment on the college radio this morning :3
