every seven to eight months I think about how the line "I wish I knew how to quit you" is incredibly heartbreaking and it got made into a cultural punchline and I get mad

I was trying to find that "I'm a thirsty little flower" comic so I half-paying attention typed text I remembered from it into google to find it and this was the result

I went on Facebook because I make mistakes and this is one of the first things I saw. don't read the text cause who gives a fuck but why is AI Homer in one of my go-to outfits (big shirt + gay little shorts + boots) in the middle of winter

some tips for actually doing this: -shitty is better than incomplete -you are the ONLY one who can do what YOU'RE doing -people LOVE seeing the artist's hand in their work, esp in the age of genAi -the more you say "this sucks," the more you believe it. the opposite is also true

when you're surrounded by what seems like everybody admitting that they feel awful about themselves, it can start to feel normal and expected that you also feel awful about yourself. but actually, it's okay to not want that! you can feel better! it takes work, and effort, but it's on the table!

I used to think hating what I did was a vital part of the process of making it! Turned out I was just giving myself permission to stay miserable instead of working on my actual problems. Anyway, Keez is right, it really isn’t necessary to loathe your output, and it’s better for you if you don’t

"Like the forefathers intended" brother the forefathers didn't know shit. They were busy doing unspeakable things to enslaved people and making mac and cheese so bad there's historical record of it. Actually that does sound like the median American excited about the 250th so I guess I take it back

sudden realization that the way some people talk about certain fandoms is like how Lovecraft talked about stuff. like "oh my god it was so bad guys. like it was sooo bad. I can't even tell you how bad it was. it was just bad and the worst and you just gotta trust me" like girl what happened!

A diversidade de gênero e sexualidade não nasceu ontem. Muitos povos indígenas já reconheciam diferentes formas de existir muito antes da colonização. O que chamam de "natural" (heteronormatividade) muitas vezes é apenas a norma que aprenderam a enxergar como única.

Tirinha em dois quadros. No primeiro, um personagem cinza pergunta: “Mas LGBT não é uma invenção moderna?”. No segundo, um personagem responde: “Amigo... A gente já era ancestral.” Abaixo, aparecem ilustrações identificadas como Māhū, Tybyra, Two Spirit e Irawhiti, representando identidades e pessoas LGBTQIA+ presentes em diferentes povos e culturas indígenas, reforçando que a diversidade de gênero e sexualidade existe há muito tempo.

Actually kind of cool of my dad that he never did anything with us for Father's Day so the holiday doesn't evoke any especially complicated or heightened emotions now that I'm NC. This is evidenced by that I forgot it was Father's Day until literally 2 minutes ago
