Feeling grateful for my mom today. 10 years ago I came out to her and she had no idea what asexual/aromantic meant, but she said, "Are you happy? Do your friends support you? Oh, you have friends like that, wonderful! As long as you're happy, I'm happy for you."
Just instinctive kindness, even toward something she didn't understand. Looking at the unknown with empathy instead of fear or annoyance or "Ugh, kids these days." That's the sort of person I want to be, too.
(She also got kicked out of a church 50 years ago for supporting gay rights. But I only found out about this later, in passing, because she didn't think what she did was anything special - just basic human decency.)
You won't always know the right words to say, or the current issues, or the answers to those issues. We're all ignorant or mistaken sometimes. But you can always try to be kind, and that alone can take you pretty damn far.

KINDNESS (JADE) IS STILL A PAIN, ME WHEN I GET THEM
THEYRE SUCH A MESS
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
If i could be allowed to rant about them for a moment
Ohhhh myyy godddd this kid. See the other’s designs came to me relatively easy. Got beemed into my head, yatta yatta, as far as character design has been for them I’ve had much worse and they were pretty straightforward. But this kid has 3 pages of sketches and this is because I kept thinking and thinking for what I wanted to do for them.
The ideas got a little all over the place. I decided yeah I want to take this alternative route and see how jaded i can get away with making them. Thats ironic. Thats interesting to me if i can get something cohesive down!! i think that’d be fun to chew on!! Ok!! I also want them to be glam. I want them to like jewelry. I want them to be super pretty. Who said theyre just a chef huh. They’ll be into as many things as they want to be into!!! Alright!!! Time to put all these things into a design now!!! 2 HOURS OF PAIN LATER. I DEADASS STARTED GETTING DIZZY STARING AT THEM AT 4AM. THIS KID. LOVE THEM NOW BUT 😁🔪
They obviously still need some tweaking - the ideas are still a little all over the place but overall my favorite idea that i still want to use is has a stupid amount of hair that can be shoved into hat.
Also duh i forgot to assign a color palette lmao. Yeah ill be back another night for them - round 2
Anyways still had fun

Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom You're amazingly strong, even when you shouldn't have to be. I really appreciate that about you and I'm on your side even when (especially when!) you feel weak. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked 4:45 PM · Mar 18, 2024

Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Basic rights must never be curtailed by economics. It is an evil, archaic conceit to ever place monetary needs ahead of the safety of people. 2:45 PM · Mar 17, 2024

"just because your intentions are good"
can be used as such a perfect excuse
for anyone being harsh, being mean
for people saying whatever that
they think they have the right to say
because why not? after all,
they "mean well" for us, don't they?
people need to understand
especially the ones close to us
that words leave footprints
the permanent kind of footprints
so if you dig your heel in the earth
it will leave a mark, no matter what
and if you want to leave a mark
let it be without blood and tears
kind words are maybe one of the
rarest treasures that I've found
or maybe i haven't found them yet
because no one uses them anymore
~ shreeya.

You are going to laugh until your stomach hurts again. You're going to be in awe of a sunset. Watch your favorite show while you eat your favorite food. Find money on the street. Discover a great band you haven't heard of before. You will find your way back.
