Aizawa: You Left Kaminari Alone With Eri?!!

happy PRIDE i’m here i’m queer and i believe the land should be given back to the proper indigenous stewards.

*takes months between posting on my main blog*

My brain: No biggy

*doesn’t post on the side blog with one follower for a week*

My brain: We are an atrocity, we do not deserve our thoughts, suffer

Give me the peat, boys, and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your moss and bones

Every time I see the word “saccharine” it makes me feel ways. That’s an evil word. You should only be using that for villain characters. I don’t care if it means overly sweet. It should mean it in a sarcastic way. Let it be an evil word.

A second workbook made for teens:

Your Pathetic Bisexual Not Wanting Therapy?

Here’s what to do!

(This does not just apply to bisexuals)

First, give them a stuffed animal and make sure they’re cuddled up tight!

next, wrap them in a blanket and make sure they can’t escape!

Finally, look up therapy resources and begin to go through them! One of the ones I’ve used is a trauma workbook linked here (it’s for children but sometimes there is little difference)

Kaminari: yeah I’m an idiot

Some unsuspecting person: Don’t say that!

Kaminari: Do you really want me to show you?

Person: uhhhhh….

*insert stupid thing Kaminari does here*

Sero, finding out: Not again

"I don't want to read this" is totally valid.

"This is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't want to read this because it is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.

All your hellraising (especially with my suggested targeting of state AGs, especially Democratic AGs) is working! Keep it up! There will be many bad news days to come, but remember: pushing back is always worth it and it is already working.

The thicker the string the stronger the connection

The rougher the string the more likely the color will change

Black means they are enemies

Red means lovers

Blue means freinds

Green means jealous of each other

Gold means soulmates, and it is often mixed with red.

Orange means aesthetically attracted

Purple means family

There are lots more but those are the ones you see the most.

One day you see a color that you have never seen before, and it is connected to you.

You have the ability to see heart-strings. You can see the connections that people have with each other. Each connection appears to be a colored line running from one person’s heart to another. The colors, thickness, and texture of the line determine the strength and type of connection.

Listen to me. Listen very carefully:

They are trying to wear you out.

They are trying to wear you out, and they own most major social media now, along with many major media outlets. The disinformation machine is cranking along. You are going to have to slow the fuck down and read things before you help them wear out other people, too.

So you just saw a post about a real scary bill, hunh? Republicans want to make it a capital offense to pet dogs and repeal The Sky Is Blue Act of 1793, declaring the new official color of the sky to be squant? Damn, that sounds scary.

Let's go look up this fictitious "Make The Sky Squant Again Act" on GovTracker* & on the official legislative tracker on congress.gov!

GovTrack.us

Well, let's see... GovTracker estimates it has a 1% chance of even getting out of committee and a 0% chance of being enacted, while congress.gov says this bill has 2 cosponsors who have been in the House and combined total of less than a month. The bill doesn't have any actual text, and it was referred to 5 different committees.

That fictitious bill and a hundred others like it are quite literally not worth your time, and more than that, continuing to wring your hands about it and tell other people about the scary scary squant sky bill only does their work for them. It scares people, it makes them spend time and energy on it, and it wears them out. It is a legislative Gish Gallop, meant to throw so many things at people that we can't keep up.

Even calling or messaging your Rep in this case means their staffer has to waste time responding to you and letting you know that Representative Buttzonheads definitely won't support making petting dogs a capital offense, a thing that will never, ever happen regardless.

Staying engaged in this environment is going to require protecting your heart and protecting your energy, yes, but also protecting the energy of others. This is why WWII propaganda posters also included ones taking people to task for spreading panicky rumors and undermining morale.

Do you know why most observant Jews don't eat chicken and dairy together, even though the ban is on red meat and dairy together bc you're not supposed to cook the calf in the milk of its mother?** It's not because we think that chicken might secretly lactate or Just Because. It's because the rabbis decided that if I'm sitting out in public and eating turkey and cheese together, someone might glance at the turkey and mistake it for red meat and think, "oh, well, I know that Spider is a good Jew, there must have been a change, or maybe I can just justify it to myself that if Spider does it, it must be permissible to bend the rules just that much." And I would then be accidentally leading my fellow Jew astray. We are responsible for being even more careful for the sake of others than we are for ourselves.

It's the same principle here. We need to really be careful about the information we are spreading and check things past reading a news site. Is it true? Is it relevant? Is it meaningful? Is the news site one I recognize? Can I find meaningful independent corroboration on another site, which is to say, if I find an article about it on a second site, is it just quoting or rephrasing this site?

Yeah, that is a lot. But that's how we keep them from using us to lead our fellows astray.

*GovTracker is an independent site. They explain their methodology in their About section.

**I cannot say enough how I am not at this time interested in going on a Jewish Side Quest About Dietary Laws on this post. Usually, I love it, but hold off this time, please, y'all. Let's stay on target this once.
