I Don't Wanna See ANYONE Talking About How They Won't Be Voting For Harris In November Because Of Palestine.

Hot take but I really do think that some of y’all need to consider how/why/when/how often you’re making fun of straight people for being straight

I do it too, I’m not going to pretend I don’t make jokes about the hets, or the down with cis bus, or whatever

But I recently befriended a cis, straight dude and I have watched him be dismissed, degraded, and unambiguously insulted for the perceived “crime” of being straight — all in queer environments where he is allegedly “completely welcome” and surrounded by “friends”

This guy is not a toxic person! But I have seen him be made to feel so small and like his comfort and safety in those spaces are conditional on his silence and acceptance of being treated like a human dunk zone, and I think that some of y’all have had so much shit from straight/cis people that the second you feel like you’ve got an inch, you want to luxuriate in the perceived catharsis of bullying someone who— actually —doesn’t deserve it

And until he very, very carefully mentioned to me in private that it makes him feel bad, I didn’t even clock that I was involved in doing that, that it had become so instinctive for me to make casual jokes like that, and that— well meaning or otherwise —I had been contributing to an environment that made someone I really really like feel like shit

So, I dunno, I think maybe some of y’all should think about that too

It’s not lost on me that Bernie Sanders is the only mainstream politician touring the country rn listening to Americans’ concerns, giving them hope that a better world is still possible. Not campaigning for President, not an election year, just inspiring swing town voters to use their power to incite change in their communities.

Bernie is 83yo, doing the work that every single Democrat could be doing simply in their own district. He’s packing overflow rooms by the thousands in suburban and rural towns, not “democratic strongholds”. It is possible to get through the next four years but the status quo Dems aren’t going to make that happen.

Imagine what a true progressive party could do for the US. Leftist policy is popular and wins elections. Bernie and others have told us this for decades. If you tuned out his message before, I have to wonder what side you’re truly on. Because his shtick has not wavered with everyday Americans.

Not me, us.

But seriously, what does the J. stand for?

But seriously, what does stand for?

I cannot get over the assassination happening while I was trying to get coverage for my testosterone. Imagine going into the pharmacy all excited to get your first ever testosterone prescription but find out it costs 800$ out of pocket for a three month supply and UHC won't cover it. So then you wait for your provider to get back to you about changing your prescription for an entire week and a half, and during that wait someone just. goes and fucking murders the CEO of your insurance company. Like they just kill him on the street. They had so much calculated hatred for this guy that they even engraved each bullet that hit him. Then, as if the heavens themselves opened up entirely to watch brian thompson descend into hell, your testosterone is ready two days later for pickup, and only costs 10 delicious dollars.

IT'S THE THREE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF LIONHEART

When I first started writing this fic, I never knew I might still be writing it years later or that it might have grown into what it is and what it will be. Thank you to those of you who have been here since the beginning and those who are newer!

I was hoping to post a chapter as a little celebration but unfortunately it isn't ready yet.

However! I still want to have something as a little treat!

It's Baby Demon Tanjiro! I drew this in May of 2022 and unfortunately I cannot find the original. I think I doodled this in my SAT study book and then tossed it before I tore out my various doodles in it ;-; RIP to all the doodles I did that I didn't save because I thought they were bad yOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER BY NOW BOOKIE!!

I'm (very inconsistently and slowly) trying to get into drawing so I can draw my little blorbos. I won't post any without prompting though because I don't have any confidence in my drawing capabilities.

under the cut is a meme that I've had in my brain for years and on my computer for months but never found a good time to post it:

Yes.

does anybody on this godforsaken hellsite watch elementary??? the sherlock one!????

PLEASE ANYONE???

You've been cast into a fictional setting, and you don't get to pick your genre. This wheel picks it for you.
