Let kindness be your guide

i love that post thats like “never trust how you feel about your life after 9pm” that shit changed my life. every time i feel bad i look at the clock and i’m like Aha It’s 10:26 PM You Cannot Fucking Fool Me

It do be like that tho.

Am I a little late to this party?

Outside

op this is good commentary but I’m mostly just captivated by how you drew the kid as a teeny little grub with a propeller hat

colleges are like: we hate disabled people, we hate sick people, we hate our baseline student but if you need accommodations we hate you much much more, we don’t think you deserve an education if you will have to miss classes because of your chronic illness or disability, we don’t care if you live or die in fact we hope you die

we want you to drop out so you will stop bothering us and please let the door hit you on the way out, don’t fucking come back

we’re so committed to making the lives of disabled and sick people miserable that we study the ADA religiously just to do the opposite of what it says we have to

when it’s suddenly 4 AM and you’re still awake

What I can tell you as a transgender woman is that occasionally I will read trans woman characters written by cisgender authors. And I can pretty much always tell when the author is cis, even if the character is portrayed respectfully, because they get some details wrong or something. But I certainly don’t think that they shouldn’t be allowed to take a stab at it, and I actually appreciate any representation that isn’t egregiously harmful. And I certainly don’t think that only transgender women should be allowed to write transgender women because then it falls on me, and that’s rather tokenizing, isn’t it?

Also it seems like demanding that only #OwnVoices authors should be allowed to write certain characters is an excellent way to enforce a situation where most books are about cishet white people.

And no: you probably won’t get all of the specific details of someone else’s lived experience correct, in much the same way that most authors don’t get all of the specific details about how, say, nuclear reactors or space work. But so long as your character passes as realistically human and not a one-dimensional caricature of what you think that other types of people are like, then I think that that’s reasonable.

I love leaving situations one thing about me is I’m leaving

Phone is always on silent.

Beautiful

It's hilarious to me that Al Capone was an amazing tipper. I get why it took so long to catch him.

There's a special place in hell for whoever popularized wireless earbuds. I straight up just cannot find wired earbuds in stores anymore and I'm NOT paying $60 for earbuds that die and have to be recharged after a few hours. I'll die on this hill

Many such cases

"I hate fandom, it's everywhere on this site," Sir (gender-neutral) this is Tumblr, aka the Denny's parking lot at 3 am of websites.

Of course, fandom is everywhere. Their tagline on the app store used to be "the home of fandom." You're the one who walked in here, you can walk yourself right back out.
