This is insane

PSA gays: if you're wearing a mesh/lace shirt to a pride fest, sunscreen your whole chest/back before putting it on. I can't live to see another diva fall prey to sunburns with bizarrely specific patterns.

I think one big reason why we don't consider the stars as important as before (not even pop-astrology anymore cares about the stars or the sky on itself, just the signs deprived of context) is because of light pollution.

For most of human history the sky looked between 1-3, 4 at most. And then all of a sudden with electrification it was gone (I'm lucky if I get 6 in my small city). The first time I saw the Milky Way fully as a kid was a spiritual experience, I was almost scared on how BRIGHT it was, it felt like someone was looking back at me. You don't get that at all with modern light pollution.

When most people talk about stargazing nowadays they think about watching about a couple of bright dots. The stars are really, really not like that. The unpolluted night sky is a festival of fireworks. There is nothing like it.

I always get stupid names for these so I have devised an egalitarian solution

The L in LGBT is short for Lady who... erm, how shall I put this... prefers the company of women

The B in LGBT is short for "bonus 10% damage against everyone"

the T stands for "That's against community guidelines"

held on til may. now what

actually this was so sweet. i love you

It's so funny to me that June is not only pride month BUT ALSO, Scoliosis Awareness Month. You really cannot be caught being straight this month.

I need a father, I need a mother, I need some old, wiser being to cry to. I talk to God but the sky is empty.

What if I chase the dream and it fails? I asked.

Maybe the more important question is - who do I become when I stop chasing my dreams? he answered.

maybe the dystopia is just appealing to youths rather than adults, and deferring to the prevailing cultural trend of all media to have a romantic subplot. they can be warnings for the future AND have a dumb romantic subplot.

THIS. It’s not just youth vs. adults. New dystopian novels often appeal to women (and are therefore dismissed as silly and frivolous), while old dystopian novels appealed to men, sometimes paradoxically upholding real-world misogynistic power structures in order to do so.  

George Orwell WISHES he had what Collins has. Every theme in 1984 was explored better and more thoroughly in THG, and it covered more.

This is something alike what I was talking about with @kromo87 about how media for youth and kids is often dismissed. Animation will never win the best movie on the Oscars, because of the paradigms about what makes a "profound piece of fiction".

And it's unfair.

Even simple media should be respected and loved for what it's.

Moomins might not be as profound as The giver, but it has it's own beauty and charm. It deserves as much love and respect. (Which, mind you, even touches the despair of the end of the world btw, but in a different light; but more often is about life and kindnesses, which is as important).

We shouldn't try to fit the canon of the "deep" and "respectful" to be respected, it only perpetuase the same systems of power (the one that is often homophobic, adult centric, ableist, patriarchal, heteronormative, etc), do stuff because you like it, be queer, be strange, be cheesy, be YOU. Just by being authentic you are giving much more to the world than what the system wants you to.

extremely fucked up that one of the symptoms of adhd is forgetfulness and difficulty sticking to habits and schedules and one of the best ways to alleviate those symptoms is by remembering to take a pill every morning at the same time

"i get on the computer basically first thing, i can just put my adhd meds next to my computer!" yeah but if i do that my brain will actively erase my pill bottle from being on my desk bc its now just part of the desk. another of god's little proofs he desires us to guillotine him

"just set an alarm!" i will hear the alarm go off, look directly at the alarm's title of TAKE YOUR ADHD MEDS RIGHT NOW OR YOU'LL FORGET, and then turn off the alarm. and youll never guess what happens next. i bet youll never fuckin guess what happens when i havent taken my dont forget shit pill
