Good news of the day: There are a bunch of male bands who are playing their Tennessee shows in dresses to protest the shitty drag bill.

Thank you Facebook memories for reminding me that six years ago today, my friend took a stray cat to the vet. This cat had been hanging around their apartment complex for a while, and they'd been feeding him and generally getting to be friends. But it took time for him to trust them enough to get him inside and into a cat carrier.

But six years ago today, they were able to bring him to a vet to get scanned for a microchip. And he had one. He had somehow gotten himself to the other side of town from his family and had been missing for a year and a half. And in December 2017 he went home!

I get emotional every time I think of it. Just imagine, your cat has been gone for eighteen months and you've grieved, you're maybe still grieving because you never knew what happened, and then you get a phone call.

tonight i was out by myself and while i was walking a couple of boys catcalled me

after that the group of people that was walking in front of me (two women and two men) stopped and let me go ahead and walk in front of them so they could keep an eye on me and make sure i was safe and honestly it just made me feel so much better

so yeah some people are good and i just wanted to share this experience

#tw catcalling #catcalling #sometimes people are good #as awful as it is to be catcalled it felt very reassuring to know i had someone in my corner #literal strangers who just wanted to make sure i would be alright #wholesome #wholesome story #i feel better now

When Mary Shelley said “Life, although it may only be an accumulation of anguish, is dear to me, and I will defend it” and when Van Gogh said “I dont know anything with certainty, but seeing the stars makes me dream” and when Margaret Laurence said “I could not really comprehend these things, but I sensed their strangeness, their disarray. I felt that whatever God might love in this world, it was certainly not order” and when…

Hey I know this isn't Ironwood or RWBY related but learning this blog is run by a woman really does make me appreciate it more. Knowing there women defending good and unfairly hated men, even if said man if fictional.

Oh wow thank you so much. (Don't mind me crying over here). Thank you for the kind words. I was bullied as a kid and I just hate seeing other people (even fictional characters) getting constantly shit on for stupid reasons. You don't have to like someone to be a decent human being to them. I just don't understand why people struggle with this concept so much.

If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)

At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.

Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.

#i think about this story sometimes like yeah I'm proud of them for that too actually. good job baby brothers #they're not babies anymore of course they're turning 20 next year which is crazy #but they're still the type of people who'd do something if they saw something of this sort happen for sure #respectful of women and everyone else too. they're good guys #I'm glad I ended up with them living in my house against my will for like 14 years #anyway i have no idea where i was for all this but my best guess is probably a friends house given the time period #i was always at my besties house lol #i hope she's doing well too actually. haven't spoken in forever... #bestie from greek elementary school... if you're out there... let's get muffins and fanta at the bakery across the street again someday 💜☮️

I think we need to get more comfortable with the idea that sometimes shitty, racist, homophobic, bigoted people are still incredibly talented.

I feel like every time I see a post addressing someone’s shitty behavior the post also takes the time to mention that they’re not even good at [x] anyway. And that’s just not always true? Equating being good at a skill as being morally good is just not necessary. Someone can be a fantastic writer, can have a beautiful singing voice, can create breathtaking artwork, and still be a horrible person.

I know part of this is probably just the instinct to dislike everything about a person when you dislike them, but I also think this mindset leads to people defending creatives way past where they should, because if bad people create bad art, then if this person creates art that I like and resonates with me, then they can’t be a bad person!

And you know. That’s just not true. Those two things are simply completely unconnected and I think it’d be healthier if we all started disconnecting them in our heads.

#ramblings tag #like idk. I think it’s possible to feel distaste for someone’s stuff while acknowledging it’s objectively good #but sometimes people act like admitting there’s a single good thing about a person who’s been shitty is impossible #and like. no! people are multifaceted and can have many positives #those don’t change the fact that they’ve done shitty things

i'm very picky about tv shows, but my pickiness has only an incidental relationship to whether or not a show is "good". it needs to scratch a particular itch in my brain at the right moment. do i know what the right moment is? no. do i know what the itch is? also no. i can be relied upon to get instantly bored of 85% of tv shows and then turn the remaining 15% into a central facet of my personality for 3-5 business months and even i am incapable of predicting which one it'll be ahead of time.

#least favorite genre of people are the ones who are like 'but how do you reconcile enjoying this thing with the fact that it's not good 🤨' #and like idk man aside from the fact that 'good' is not an immutable and universally agreed-upon descriptor #sometimes shit just makes my brain go brrr and i'm not interested in deconstructing it any further

“Bruce is emotionally incompetent and can’t step outside his own morality” yeah it’s a character flaw.

“Dick is extremely stubborn and thinks he’s right all the time” yeah it’s a character flaw.

“Jason has hypocritical tendencies” yeah it’s a character flaw.

“ Tim is entitled and doesn’t think about people when seeking results, and often acts uncaring” yeah it’s a character flaw.

“Damian is rude and bratty” yeah, it’s a character flaw.

Also, some people may not even regard everything listed above as flaws.

Having negative traits allows incredible flexibility within your characters, what makes them intriguing, what makes them easy to relate to. If you want to write people, then write people. But they can’t be good and clean all the time.

#bruce wayne #dc comics #dc #batman #jason todd #dick grayson #tim drake #I’m really glad we’re growing out of the ‘my favorite is flawless because they’re a good person who has done both wrong ever’ phase #you can absolutely enjoy media that has imperfections and blemishes. these characters should be flawed. they should get to be shitty people #sometimes. they should get a chance to grow and extend and evolve as individuals. because I think that’s what we need to see more #it’s not about being a shitty person. it’s about STAYING a shitty person #text #meta #batfamily

I remember being on a trip with my dad when I was 9 or 10 and getting a new plush toy, a ginger tabby that was pretty realistic by the standards of the day. And we were on some kind of public transport - maybe an amusement park tram? - and the woman sitting across from me was like, "shouldn't that cat be in a carrier?" It made my entire day, I felt proud and smug for ages, that my stuffed animal was so realistic it had fully fooled an adult.

It was only years later that I realized. I doubt she even remembers, but I still think about her sometimes, and I hope she has received as much kindness and joy from strangers as she bestowed.

These are the best pictures I could find of the cat, btw:

No one ever thought that was a real cat. Thank you, Unknown Tram Lady, for knowing exactly the right thing to say to a little girl.

2023 is the year for asking the burning questions like "What if David Tennant came back to play a queer, nonbinary, nearly-immortal, otherworldly being that loves Earth and whose greatest adversary list somehow includes a cup of coffee?"

#David Tennant #good omens #doctor who #doctor who 60th anniversary #14th doctor #okv #Twice in one year. #“bouncy” for both too. #“possible flight risk to the stars” #“time is sometimes a choice actually” #I had a really good time with the special. :) #Edit: I don't believe in the coffee theory. But I'm happy for people to have fun with their different theories. Even if I disagree. #All I meant was a (regular) coffee was included with the Metatron.

Losing my mind at seeing Twitter Discourse where a girl talks about being a waitress and how sometimes people don't acknowledge her or reply to her at all when she speaks to them and how it feels dehumanising and all the people in the replies are like UM. SOME OF US HAVE /SOCIAL ANXIETY/ You're literally an evil person for wishing people would treat you with bare minimum decency :/ like idk how to tell you this but if a waitress asks how your evening is while she's taking you to your seat in a restaurant and you're gonna pretend saying "Fine, thank you" is a horrific arduous task like. Maybe you're just a massive cunt? Maybe you're just an insufferable fuckwit?

#i loveeeeee when people use social anxiety as an excuse to be rude like lmao #i get anxious sometimes and i can be awkward as fuck #but a two word 'Good. Thanks.' really is not that fucking difficult good god #especially since she stated theres been times when multiple customers will totally ignore any greeting and bark orders at her like. #youre just rude bro thats all that is

irl i don't normally tell people my pronouns unless they directly ask, but this has led to a very silly occurrence i call DLC pronouns. my gender is a sidequest you can unlock in the dialogue tree if your character has a high enough lgbtqia+ stat . or if my pride keyring falls out of my pocket.

#i generally think it is good to be out and proud as long as you are not in danger and i try not to give in to the urge to make myself more #digestable to people i dislike anyways #but sometimes you find a good job with good coworkers and bad management and getting to move up in the company means comprimise #capitalism sucks for everyone though because there is no corporate culture without average people comprimising themselves
