Idk Why I'm Following You But You Seem Chill Imo

We need help!

My wife @astrmastr and I need help moving to the EU!

We’re two transgirl/nonbinary queers stuck in the conservative Midwest!

Unfortunately, we’re already living paycheck to paycheck as it is. I’m incredibly blessed to have two parents that are willing to dig into their retirement fund to help us, but I want to take as much financial strain off of them as possible.

I’m offering pay-what-you-can commissions over on my Ko-fi!

You can find more examples of my work on my art blog!

If you have an oc, a pet, a friend, or a silly idea, toss a couple dollars our way! You’ll get some neat art, and you’ll help us move to a safer, more supportive environment!

We also sell stickers! We can even take custom orders!

Get your blorbo made into stickers! And then stick them in places!!

If you have the resources, please consider a commission or donation! If not, consider helping us out by reblogging or sharing with your friends!

saw some ppl full chest using the argument that "seeing so much human suffering is unnatural" and it's like do you know what's even more unnatural??? seeing so much human suffering and doing nothing about it bc you've been coddled your whole life and think lives outside of the global north don't mean anything. that's extremely unnatural to me . but a lot of you are shameless enough to be doing it rn.

My family in Gaza is suffering beyond description. The war has left us with no choice but to live in constant fear, between every sound of bombing and the endless showers of bullets. Every day they wake up to the sounds of explosions, and every night they go to sleep hoping for a better tomorrow.

My family has suffered from the loss of security, and the loss of the home that was their shelter. The airstrikes turned everything into rubble, and all that remains for them is memories of their former life. But worst of all is the constant worry for their loved ones, every moment they live in worry for those under the rubble.

Even with all this pain, they have not lost hope. They gather around one table, clinging to each other, and defying the circumstances with their inner strength. They know that there is always light at the end of the tunnel, even if the tunnel is long and dark.

Living in Gaza means fighting for survival every day. But my family is strong, and they know that this ordeal will not last forever. They will remain united, despite all the difficulties, because love and hope are what keep them alive.

Your donation, even a small one, makes a huge difference in the lives of my family and thousands of families in Gaza. Every contribution brings hope and dignity for a better future.

I'm sorry, as I don't currently have the funds to donate, but I can try my best to spread this post so others can see it and help as best they can. Please stay safe and stay alive.

wikipedia is a gem

a professor told his class “consciousness doesnt exist. there are only neurons”

a student stood up “would you eat a raw egg and then drink oil and vinegar?”

“no” the professor replied.

“would you eat mayonnaise? perhaps on a sandwich or with some fries”

“of course” the professor replied, unsure of the purpose of this inquiry.

“mayonnaise is made from these very things and yet when combined, new properties arise.”

the professor was astounded. “what is your name?” he demanded

“shadow the hedgehog” said the student

Fucking jinkies, I did not know about this. It's frankly terrifying that Neo-Nazis are here and anti-trans legislature is shadowing what the Nazis did. I am scared of my own future, being only relative weeks from starting HRT myself

if you're just joining us, george takei is having to educate jk rowling on holocaust denial

Repeat after me:

Homosexuality is not an illness.

No letter of the whole LGBTQIA+ is an illness.

There is no treatment, prescription, therapy or cure BECAUSE IT IS NOT AN ILLNESS.

Thank you for your attention.

I absolutely LOVE the song "No Such Thing As A Hollywood Ending" from the 2018 movie "Anna And The Apocalypse"

It is an amazing beginning song as it fits with how the main characters, Anna and her best friend, are feeling. It fits with emotions and it gives little bits of insight as to the lives of random background characters. Any song can do this, but what makes this song special?

Warning, spoilers for this amazing Christmas musical under the cut. I recommend you watch the movie before reading all of this

First, it is called "No Such Thing As A Hollywood Ending" which hints to the fact that the film isn't going to play out how you would generally guess it to. This is then reinstated with the line "this is not the story you're dreaming of, the one where you get all you want, so stop your pretending, no such thing as a Hollywood ending" which then calls to the fact that many of the things you may want don't happen. The father isn't saved, the couple don't make it out alive, the grandma dies, the best friend is zombified.

Then there's John(the best friend)'s lines. He says that "the nice guys don't always get the girl" and he doesn't. He never gets to have that more solid relationship with Anna because he sacrifices himself for her, letting her live. He, the nice guy, doesn't survive and instead the bully does.

Then there's the lines of the couple. Christian and Lisa want a "love never ending" and Christian directly states "I'll never disappear" and these things ring true. They are both zombified in the end and are set to eternally linger in that room, occasionally bumping into one another. They are forever together in their undead state.

And then this all ties back to the very message of the song: "No Such Thing As A Hollywood Ending". No one gets what they want, it doesn't end how everyone expects. It's a comedy musical set during Christmas and so it would generally come to mind that there will be a happy ending where the main cast survives, but that doesn't happen. Only two of the original cast survive in the end, with Anna being the only one of the initial cast to survive. The bully and the butch are introduced later on, with the bully receiving even less of an introduction than the butch.

As the film progresses you want Christian to arrive to the musical number Lisa sings, you want Anna to get back to her father and survive, you want Anna and John to eventually get closer or maybe even get together.

But none of this happens.

"So stop your pretending, there's no such thing as a Hollywood ending"
