people who do physical sports and stuff are always talking about how fun it is despite it being difficult and effortful. snowboarders are literally slamming into rocks and breaking their wrists and shit And being like man i love snowboarding. I think this is a good mentality for artists to have too
We don't want AI-generated stories.
We want stories that are beautiful and weird.
Mistakes and obsessions. Labyrinthine worlds; love poems that break us.
We want the wild stroke of chance, the stray detail.
We don't want soulless slop.
We want work *written* by HUMANS.
anyone can watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Netflix right now. the show is aimed at a teen audience. it has gratuitous b-camp violence and minors fucking monsters. there's a whole season where Buffy and Spike just spend it railing each other softcore. can't do fanart of it on patreon or substar tho

something that sometimes annoys me about when people headcanon characters as nonbinary is it's almost always in a way where they want to shed gender entirely, whereas sometimes people are nonbinary/gender nonconforming bc they actually LOVE gender and want more of it
A baby smiled at me and giggled and my whole morning has brightened. Love is real and humanity is going to survive despite it all
Tumblr tags never disappoint (they are nonbinary)πβ¨
Spotted this on a pole behind independence hall. I recently saw someone say they found collage to be the best way to work through things and I didnβt really see it at the time but
This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon.

even in a "history is written by the victors" sense, theres no alternate story here. neither nation believes it needs any kind of cover story where this savagery is justified or moral. they haven't even bothered to try and put together a rough draft. just wanton and gleeful butchery
the united states is fundamentally a party to these actions, and many of its own actions are also completely and totally out of control. any credible chronicle of world events would conclude that these two nations have gone so rogue that they are imperiling much if not all of the planet. malign
under the plain terms of any known and accepted moral framework, the nation of israel is definitionally completely and totally out of control. rampaging horde type shit at this point
One half of all television is urban fantasy set in a speculative universe in which police serve a positive societal function
Some people are fat and it should be okay to use the word in the same way as we'd use words like tall. It's just a physical trait they have. It doesn't need to be an insult or dismissal.
It remains damning that "from the river to the sea" is criminalized to the point that thought police has evaporated a great rally cry for freedom from common use, but genocide and international law breaches and group rape of hostages with knives are in the "it's not the time to lecture" bucket.

A lot of people seem to think that being fat-positive means you can't say the word. "No, this person isn't fat! They're so beautiful / friend-shaped / fashionable/ whatever!"

In my delusional mind sy can be weirdly and funnily possessive of binghe online and sometimes fights the Binghe x y/n shippers. The shippers would go "binghe x y/n scenarios" and sy immediately quotes it or answers it with "he leaves you for sqq"
