I feel like we discuss art too much as a product to be consumed rather than a creation of a person
So I moved from my childhood state a few years ago and I’ve been struggling with adjusting ever since, largely because of the drastic negative change in my social life. But life is beautiful, so I wanted to make a list of things I’ve seen since moving here that I couldn’t get back home! You have to appreciate the little things in life. I’m gonna periodically add more as I see them
- “The Oven Bus” which is just a bus with a brick chimney in it. I wanna know what’s going on in there so badly
- All of the sunsets here are beautiful without fail. Don’t matter what time they happen, even if it’s at 4, it’s beautiful. There’s so many colours in them
- The sign I drive past on the way to work that says “WALTZ IS FOR MURDERING THE UNBORN.” I don’t agree with it but it’s fucking hilarious to see, because it’s in the middle of nowhere
- Related, since we live out in the country now, the pro-life religious bulletins that have the most CGI looking babies on them. Like that baby is not real. Honey
- I almost got into an accident once because there are so many dogs down a 55 MPH road that I just kept looking at the dogs
- The church that has six doors outside on their lawn that say “GOD’S DOORS ARE OPEN TO ALL”
- The church that has a progress flag on its flag post and a BLM flag flying under it. I went there once and it’s full of old people. They were so kind. I want to go back there again
- The kind lady at the Chinese takeout restaurant down the road from us who stayed when the restaurant was empty so I could pick up my order. I wanted my brother to get it but he bailed last minute
- The grocery store down the street that my family has wildly different pronunciations of. It’s within walking distance. I’ve never had that before
- The man today who accidentally bought two tickets for himself. Instead of refunding one, he wanted to give away the other one for free
- The mall Santa I see around Christmas time when he’s on his break. Just walking around. High socks and shorts with a Christmas theme, he’s great
- The little girl yesterday who told me she would get a dog and a fish. When I asked her what she would name the dog, she said “Rainbow Pup”
- The parents who use they/them to refer to me. Even though I personally don’t use those pronouns and don’t like them when they’re used in reference to me, it’s a sign of progress
- The little girl whose parents I sold an annual pass to. I’ve seen her four times. She recognizes me each time and runs to give me a hug
- The toddler who tried to hand me her half-eaten cinnamon-dusted timbit when I asked her for a high five
- The kind people at KwikTrip who never look like they don’t want to be there
- My supervisor who shrieks whenever he walks by me because that’s how I greet people so he’s started greeting me like that as well. He’s an absolute truck of a man who looks like Thor
Eyo wtf is up with my island getting the butt ugliest villagers like
As important as it is to protest, to stand up against what’s going on right now, and to revolt, please remember there are people who can’t.
Supporting one another also means protecting one another.
You don’t know a single democrat now. Not a one. You don’t know anyone who voted for Harris. You don’t know anybody queer or anybody who immigrated, legal or otherwise. You don’t know anyone who had or is contemplating an abortion. You don’t know anyone on birth control.
Revolution is not just about hating the other side. It’s about loving and caring for those on yours.
my favourite part about resetting/starting on tumblr is when the algorithm knows literally nothing about me and it just throws shit that it thinks will stick.
Posting this on my main because uhhhhh!!!
I made my own fishgender flag!
[ID : A PNG of a five-striped pride flag. The palette is a saturated green-blue, with the stripes darker at the top and gradually getting lighter at the bottom. In the center of the flag is a simple silhouette of a black fish with eyes and gills etched out.]
Fishgender is a xenogender that relates to a love of fish, not as a product but as an animal. Where one’s gender is related to or is a fish
Pronouns are fish/fish/fishes/fishes/fishself
Examples*:
Nominative // Fish // Fish went to the store
Accusative // Fish // I met fish today
Pronominal Possessive // Fishes // That chair is fishes
Predicative Possessive // Fishes // If I need a phone my friend will let me borrow fishes
Reflexive // Fishself // My friend has to drive fishself to school
*Made with the help of Pronoun Fandom Wiki!!
I know xenogender as an identity is not an identity that is mainstream, and part of me is worried that friends or family will find this post of something that I identify as and make fun of me for something that they do not understand. However, at this point, I don’t care too much? Even if I’m the only one who feels this way, I don’t mind, because it makes me feel comfortable with myself and that’s all that matters
Fishless version as well!

Both these flags are free to use! You are also welcome to make your own versions of this flag, for example if the colours are too difficult to look at or discern from one another
