if someone is talking about how much they love their parents do not jump in and start venting about your issues with your parents. if someone is venting about their issues with their parents do not jump in and start talking about how much you love your parents. peace and love amen swag city

#peach rambles #hall of fame i guess #anyway if you don’t know what to say in the former case #just say ‘aw that’s nice!/that’s cool!’ or ask a follow-up question. like ‘how often does [good thing] happen?’#people love being asked questions about themselves esp when they’re happy!#and if you don’t know what to say in the latter situation a simple ‘aw that sucks… ouch… i’m sorry’ or anything to that effect #’but that feels so fake and empty’ you’d be surprised how far little platitudes go #a bandaid and a kiss won’t heal the wound but they make you feel better #people at least like knowing that you heard them and that you want to try #you don’t have to be a poet to know what to say but just say something or at least do not say something disrespectful!

ok not to be that guy but like. labor rights and working class rights can coexist with 24h services and late amenities. its certainly hard to do so without worker exploitation in this political and social environment, it’s not a conflict likely to resolve overnight. but 24h services are important and especially valuable to those of us that are disabled or are on a different circadian rhythm. in fact more professional, health, and government services should be available or at least possible to work on asynchronously (if applicable) during late or odd hours, while workers also get sufficient pay for their labor and proper consistent scheduling. this would be much easier on the workers with night schedules if the entire professional world didn’t grind to a halt at 5pmEST

#just like. it doesn’t have to be this way #the number of people I’ve talked to who would absolutely do a night schedule if it didn’t suck ass because you can never get anything done #like. go to the doctor. without waking up at your equivalent of 2am to make their latest afternoon slot #the sleep deprivation of trying to keep a normal schedule and trying to get stuff done sometimes on my natural schedule are like #the same. I started getting fevers any time I stayed up longer than 14 hours bc I had to do it so often to make appts #it’s only a little better now because I’ve been strict with a schedule that’s somewhere in the middle #so I at least have 2 hours to try and do stuff before the entire country fucks off to bed #.txt

Love to see the evolution of their dynamic in the latest chapters

#rem draws #deltarune #kris dreemurr #ralsei deltarune #kris deltarune #deltarune chapter 4 #if you still subscribe to the 'kris hates ralsei' theory then i got news for you..........#but seriously the fact that kris will not let you be mean to ralsei is so cute to me. like... they DO care its so wholesome #btw im not even suggesting in the first panel that kris used to hate him but likes him now im more showing how forced their interactions #used to feel as compared to now where they will hug ralsei out of their own volition and try to make him feel better #kris and ralsei gaining more of their own autonomy where ralsei doesnt glorify kris and views them as a genuine friend and kris sees ralsei #as his own person and willingly wants to spend time with him sdjkfbifgbkdlfgbkdjgdfg #fun gang you are SO dear to me i love friends forever hope nothing bad happens to them

ANT-Tenna and some game accurate(-ish?) ANT Tenna. I drew him normally once and then proceeded to exclusively bug-ify him.

It would be fun if he had to plug in his own AV inputs to the mic/his screen!

#deltarune #tenna #art #my art #fanart #artists on tumblr #tenna deltarune #anyway i had my fun interpreting him into my style #AND doing an unspectacular character design where i kind of try to design him some fun shapes/stylise him #but also consider the original. I LOVE TRANSLATING A CHARACTER'S ESSENCE #not 100% happy with the more normally proportioned one. I wanna have the segmented ant body #but on the other hand tenna being too spindly is soooo damn wrong #but ALSO ALSO he is an UPSIDE DOWN TRIANGLE SO THE LEGS /HAVE/ TO GET THINNER #maybe ill draw more tenna if i wanna get back to a better design

#own art #own characters #CanisAlbus #art #artists on tumblr #anthro #sighthound #dogs #canine #animals #I've spent most of this spring sick and even though things seem to be getting better #I'm having trouble reaching the person I used to be #feeling like a stranger in my own body and in my own life like I'm stuck in a long dissociative episode #I'm trying to snap myself out of it by doing things I used to enjoy but nothing feels correct and pleasant #nothing gives that feeling of being at the right place at the right time if that makes sense #not being able to draw is actively distressing I can tell you that #I just sense that the blocks in my brain aren't connecting like they should and I'm not loving it

As a reminder that good exists out there, a coworker recently confessed to me that he found out his child is questioning their identity (kid's gender redacted for this post). The kid is keeping it from him, so he can't say anything to them or show that he knows, but he's doing his best to get mentally prepared and educated so that he'll be ready whenever his kid does feel comfortable enough come to him.

For context, this guy is a big, bulky middle aged dude who loves sports and typical outdoor "manly" activities. As his coworker and friend, I know he's a kind and sweet teddy bear of a person, but his kid probably views him as a stern, authoritarian figure, the way most teenagers view their parents. His family lives in a conservative area, so I'm sure between that, their dad's looks and interests, and the fact that their dad is a Figure of Authority, the kid is worried that they won't be accepted.

But you know what? When he found out about his kid, the first thing he did was reach out to his closest queer friend and ask for resources for parents of questioning children. His biggest fears are that his kid will be bullied or discriminated against and won't feel comfortable enough to be themself. His second action was to find himself a mentor in another parent who went the same situation (kid coming out in a conservative town). The other person is preparing him for some of the struggles his kid may face and the fights he may need to take on as a parent to make sure his kid is safe and treated well.

Something I want to emphasize for people focused on language as the primary method of allyship is that when we spoke, he used some outdated terms and thoughts about gender and sexuality. That does not make him bad. These were the terms and thinking used about questioning teenagers when he was growing up and he never needed to learn more current ones. But now that he does have that need, he's throwing himself in head first because that's his kid and he's darn well going to make sure that his kid feels welcomed and has a safe place to be themselves even if they never come out to him.

#I'm so proud and happy for my coworker and I've been trying to figure out how to let him know how amazing I think he is #what gets me the most is that he's keeping this super down low to avoid giving any hints to his kid #he has a lot of queer friends so he already is known as an ally but there's always a chance it will be different if it's family #and he took that chance and crumpled it up into a ball and slam dunked it into the garbage for three points #and decided that even if his kid wants to hide it from him for the rest of his life he will still do what he can to make their life better #pflag #parents doing their best #parenting win #good news #allyship
