Just someone very shy.

incredible. you can SEE who's absolutely plastered by how theyre slurring their signs

An interesting demonstration of how the human brain works.

But also something of a lesson regarding perception, and the unreliability of subjective perspective versus objective reality.

You can be extremely certain about how you perceive the world, your "lived experience," that which you "feel it in my heart." But that doesn't mean it's actually true. And it doesn't mean we have to endorse it, or ignore or outright deny objective reality.

That's a "you" thing, not a "we" thing.

This has got to be the funniest discourse I’ve seen on this hellsite

when we try to befriend cats we mimic their meows and get down on the ground to their level and try to gently coax them to interact with us right

that horrifying entity mimicking human noises at us maybe just thinks we’re cool and wants to pet us?

had to draw it

a few people pointed out that they probably wouldn’t understand what they were saying and just mimicking whatever sounds they happen to hear so I wanted to add this

leg refences

Reblogging this not only for artists but also for people who write werewolf (and other animal transformation) fiction.  If a human turned into a wolf, their knee joints would not reverse– what some fic writers mistake for the knee is actually the ankle.  A wolf’s hind feet are relatively long, and they are always walking in way roughly analogous to human “tip-toeing.”

A few of these are probably referring to the date posting bug thing, but AAAAAAAAAAAH!

I beg of all the younger folks on Ao3 to understand two things:

It makes me sad that these people don’t grok the idea of a website where you can post the stuff you make that doesn’t have an algorithm.

It’s like the posts I’ve seen about how “AO3 is just another power-hungry corporation who wants to make money off you” . .  and like … AO3 literally does not have ads. AO3 does not make money for having more users.

having a crush as an adult is so embarrassing, like why am I kicking my feet and giggling instead of earning enough money to get the green sofa of my dreams

disability and class are inherently linked. the disabled are pushed into kind of a permanent underclass. poverty creates chronic illness and chronic illness creates poverty. there is no inherent conflct between the workers' struggle and the struggle against ableism. we are the same people, working through the pain or unable to work and thus plunged into destitution. out of sick days. testing blood sugar in breakrooms or unable to afford gluten free food.

doomed by the narrative and haunted by the narrative and a secret third thing (narrating the narrative)

you ever read a story where you and the protagonist share such a specific brand of mental illness that you feel like you've been smacked with a mirror and you just gotta sit there with wet eyes as it lists all the ways you need to fix yourself. stories that say "this you? get help lmao". stories that equal six months of therapy. self recognition through the other? shoot that shit up my veins all day every day

[tweet by Laureen Bazzi @laureenbazzi: idk how to explain this but thursday, october, and 8:00pm are all the same end ID]

80% of the work week, 83.3333% of the day at 8pm, 83.333% of the year in October.

It’s so charming to see this on my dash because Thursday, October, and the number 8 are all the same rusty brown-orange color according to my synesthesia.

ppl trying to frame art as something thats been historically a "privilege" restricted to the upper classes pisses me off saur much..... when you have no idea what youre fucking talking about ❤️

the way ppl like to envision working/lower class people (or even just... ppl living outside those dynamics) throughout history as like.... eternally miserable illiterate idiots that only know eating gruel and dying of the plague is fucking infuriating. people sang songs, told stories, wove fabrics, embroidered, knitted, decorated their homes, their places of worship, their tools, their food, their clothes, their hair, their bodies, for thousands upon thousands upon thousands of years. everyone, throughout all of human existence, loved art. created art.

some of you unironically talk like 18th century colonialists but with the labels scratched off.

like. you may be stupid
