Good news: if you’re currently laying around and not producing anything, you are a credit to your species.
I’m an ant biologist and I’d like to point out that ants also spend a significant percentage of the time doing nothing.
Turns out sometimes the most evolutionary useful thing you can do is chill and not wear yourself to shreds, whether mammal or insect. It helps you deal with emergencies and adapt to change. Plus, you can act as living food storage!
That last part is probably more an ant thing than a human thing, but hey, live your dreams.
I have the Tumblr equivalent of cleaning supplies...
There will be some seriously intense organizing here soon.

Indigenous Canada. Free course. Available online. From Native Studies department at the University of Alberta (where Kim TallBear teaches).
From Indian Residential School Survivors Society, social media, 1 June 2021: “Grateful for the reminder that [University of Alberta] hosts a free course called “Indigenous Canada.” It is a 12-lesson Massive Open Online Course from [University of Alberta Native Studies] that explores Indigenous histories and contemporary issues in Canada, from an Indigenous perspective.”

Course available here.
10/10 recommend this course! I found it very accessible in terms of the language used, and Coursera has captions for all the videos so it’s accessible in that way too
Im Back
Mostly because I was tired of feeling guilty for being gone lmao
Im really sick of guilt tripping myself all the time. Like, either accept where you at or do something about it, goodness.
Thanks for sticking with me even though I wasn't doing shit for you for the past several months.
While I was away I learned a lot about myself. But the most important thing I learned was, I want to know other ppl. Even if Im awkward and bad and weird and late and struggling with consistency (or to understand my weird neurodiverse inner clock)
I want to know ppl. I want to stop being so judgemental and overly protective of my heart. I want to let ppl in
Idk how im gunna go about it. But I got this dope goals breakdown thingy from my therapist, so Im gunna try using that to facilitate this misson.
I bought a mic for podcasting. So that may be a way I go about it. Interviewing ppl allows me to be vulnerable with the consent of the guest. If someone agrees to talk to me while being recorded, I dont have to worry that they're annoyed with me or would rather not talk to me (these are the fears I have). Ive been thinking of podcasting for a few years, now. I have a handful of ideas. But Im gunna make presentations for the art discord Im apart of, and see how my homies respond to the concept
But yeah, Im back and Im just gunna barf up all my anxieties and try to live this embarrassing, vulnerable ass life I am destined for.
Thanks again 🙏🏾
it really is an underrated aspect of lesbianism the way that loving other women makes it easier to love yourself.
i know others have experienced this, but the more comfortable i get with being a lesbian the more i find that i don’t really feel as insecure about my “flaws” anymore. it’s hard to hate myself for having body fat, cellulite, stretch marks, short nails, an inability to apply makeup, body hair, eyebags, and so on when i literally find these things sexy on other women.
fallout game where the bombs and the passage of time made the landscape more beautiful and people kindly work together in this oasis amongst devastation
fallout new york where plants climb the metal skeletons of skyscrapers and settlers farm the fertile soil between them. the people understand how easily beauty can be destroyed by hatred and greed

What she says: I’m fine
What she’s thinking: Wall-e spent days/weeks trying to approach EVE without seeming scary or predatory, more days/weeks worrying about her safety while she was dormant, and a trip across an entire galaxy just for the chance to try and hold her hand? And people still think it’s a straight movie???
I don’t understand
That’s fine

Think about this quote like all the time and how it really undermines so much shit in capitalism
Image transcript:
“But what will you do with the lazy man, the man who does not want to work?” inquires your friend.
That is an interesting question, and you will probably be very much surprised when I say that there is really no such thing as laziness. What we call a lazy man is generally a square man in a round hole. That is, the right man in the wrong place, And you will always find that when a fellow is in the wrong place, he will be inefficient or shiftless. For so-called laziness and a good deal of inefficiency are merely unfitness, misplacement. If you are compelled to do the thing you are unfitted for by your inclinations or temperament, you will be inefficient at it; if you are forced to do work you are not interested in, you will be lazy at it.
