Optimism is an act of rebellion.

Optimism isn't foolishness, and it isn't sweeping problems under the rug. Optimism is saying yes, we see these problems, yes, we see these issues, but things will be okay, things will be alright, because we'll make them that way.

Optimism isn't saying that everything is alright right now and that we can just go on with the way things are or the way things were. Optimism is seeing real, valid issues, and saying that they'll be okay anyway because we know how strong and resilient we are.

Optimism is an act of rebellion in a world so consumed by fear and anxiety. Optimism is saying that you see the bad things, but you won't let them beat you, because you can't let them. Optimism is an act of rebellion because it's seeing what's wrong with the world and declaring that you will live long enough to see it get better, even if you have to fix the world with your own hands.

Optimism doesn't mean never being sad or hurt or scared because of the challenges you face, though. Optimism is a choice - a choice that sometimes, you can't make. Optimism is a challenge and something you have to work for, so don't feel bad if you aren't there quite yet.

Optimism is hard to achieve and hard to maintain, but it's worth it. Work towards being optimistic. You might not be there right now, and you might not be there for a while, but trust me, it's worth working to.

And if you've lost your optimism, know that it's not over yet. It'll be a fight to get it back, but I know you can do it. You're amazing, and I love you.

Hey everyone, please consider buying the 2024 itch.io Palestinian Relief Bundle- it's 373 games, game-making assets, tabletop roleplaying games, zines, and comics for a minimum of just 8 USD! They have a goal of 100,000 USD, and as of the time I'm writing this post, they have 8 more days to reach it.

Amazing news!! They reached their goal of 100,000 USD! There is now a second goal of 250,000 USD! Remember, this is 373 games, assets, and comics for a minimum of 8 USD- a bundle of items which would normally be ~1,667 USD! Let's reach that second goal as quickly as we reached the first goal!

i think twitter is actually really funny and good sometimes. where else are you seeing shit like this

“Put it all in his pussy” I love it. He just wadded it all up and shoved it right in there. Crammed it all in. That expression should be commonplace too.

It's literally queer AAVE

It's literally queer AAVE

It's an American saying originated from 'they put their whole foot in it' which means giving your all to something. (which in turn originated from the saying 'they dipped their toe into it' which means tentatively trying something out)

Ya'll love to appropriate Black culture and call it something the 'internet puked up one day' it's sickening.

To those who are finding out right now, please don't ignore this because it makes you uncomfortable. If you wanna use the phrase please respect its origins.

Not just thousands of Palestinian children, but tens of thousands of Palestinian youths, men, women, and the elderly. 5% of Gaza's population has been either severely disabled/injured, has gone missing, or has been genocided. From destroying orchards and farms, to the destruction of Gaza Infrastructure to the point where it has collapsed in many spaces -especially their medical complexes, to the complete lack of access to fresh and clean water. Israhell is also still starving Palestinians -is still committing war crimes, and now this? The zionists are continuing their illegal settler-colonial project full steam ahead apparently, and it's beyond horrific.

A.I. photos are flooding social media and contributing to an Internet where we can't believe what we see. Spotting A.I. 📷s is an important media literacy skill.

None of us have time to research every image we see. We just need people to notice BEFORE THEY LIKE OR SHARE that an image might be fake. If unsure, check it or don't share.

I've started drawing some comics explaining the basic of AI spot-checking and media literacy in the age of disinformation. Follow along here or on my Twitter.

absolutely incredible shit going on in circles of the internet I don’t even know about

Say it to my snout not behind my tail, pussy

hello fellow autistic lesbians 🌈💜

Saw a sibling poll and needed to expand it because I fit, like. Mid youngest, youngest in theory only child in practice, and adopted. And I think they all have their own unique parts in the sibling ecosystem.

I will never get over how weird it feels to have tragic and emotional chapters of your life where you just also still go to work, and the grocery store, and see funny videos online all while feeling such paralyzing fear and heartache

life just goes on no matter what

Not. yet.
