I read the survivor dogs series before I read warrior cats.

Russell Hobbs appreciation post oh fuck yes 😭😭😭

Can we talk about Russel Hobbs?

Russel is a cartoon character, but he’s so important.

This is a man who watched his friends die. A man who lost his best friend and soul mate.

He’s been plagued with spirits invading his mind and soul, turning him vulnerable and depressed.

He suffers from extreme paranoia and is struck with so much fear and misery.

Russel was kidnapped by Murdoc, and thrown into even more chaos than before.

He has seen the grim reaper. He was almost killed. He was trapped in a glass cage and treated like a monster.

He’s troubled by the memory of his best friend, and is constantly afraid and not all that sure of where his head is at.

He has tried to kill himself.

Russel has been through genuine hell. He’s so tired.

He’s such a tragic character with a heartbreaking and terrifying backstory.

And yet, he’s such an inspiring character as well.

Russel is a fat black man. But he’s not always tough, or loud, or masculine, or whatever stereotype some people throw around.

He’s insecure. He’s not mentally stable. He’s caring and honest and scared and funny and strange and gentle and he doesn’t back down and he’s tired and vulnerable and brave and polite and intelligent and kind.

He loves animals, especially cats. He doesn’t take Murdoc’s shit and he protects 2D. He loves taxidermy, and music, and fashion. He cares so much for the ones close to him, especially Noodle.

Russel has been through so much, but he’s still trying. Trying and trying and trying to make a difference in the world.

He’s been struggling since he was young, and he’s still struggling today.

He’s a good man that has had a shit life, but still continues to be a good man, and still hasn’t let life destroy him.

He’s inspiring and loveable and interesting.

He’s important.

He deserves to be happy, and he deserves to be appreciated.

He’s genuinely amazing.

Your kids deserve basic fucking autonomy

(cw: sexual assault) the pedophile -as it is understood outside of academic circles- is a mythical creature. the idea that a complete stranger who kidnaps and sexually assaults kids is their biggest threat is absolutely insane; not one case of CSA (child sexual assault) in a hundred looks like that. CSA is committed almost uniformly by adults in a preestablished position of authority (such as family, family friends, clergy, or teachers) and in a way that a victim who doesn't know what sexual assault looks like will be left unsure what happened to them. without knowing concretely how sex and sexuality works, would you be able to tell the difference between molestation and the various other forms of unwanted physical touch and abuse kids are regularly subjected to? would it even seem that different? but parenthood and the submission of youth to adults as institutions are threatened by the reality of CSA. adults need to justify their ownership of children through an imagined outside threat constantly held at bay through their diligence. the truth - that putting yourself in such a position of authority over children directly enables abuse (including sexual abuse) - is thrown aside.

Real as fuck. My dad is a diehard AI fan and I've been trying to tell him about this for SO LONG. He keeps insisting it's "more powerful." How? Because they made it look more sleek?

those ads for ai integration on phones are so funny bc it seems like they cant. come up with that many use cases that arent already on a phone? "ask gemini to give you recipes when youre cooking!" "use our AI assistant to find the perfect gift for your girlfriend" yeah or i could just like. google it. you've spent millions on a slightly fancier version of an alexa. good job man.

I love my aro folks. Yall are super cool

By the way I love being aromantic. Whenever I try finding aro positivity I feel like instead I only find posts about how miserable it is to be erased, I havent seen nearly enough actual aromantic pride this month so Im saying myself: Aromanticism is a beautiful thing and I am a better and more rounded person for being aro!! People don't think you can be happy to be aro, or otherwise make it seem like you can only be happy in spite of being aro but that is a LIE to keep you down!!! Embracing aromanticism, finding community with other aros and aces, and rejecting anatonormativity have all been foundational to becoming who I am today and I literally wouldn't trade it for the world.

Fuck the societal structures pressuring us to have partners, telling us that humans have to feel romantic love to be happy, telling us that platonic love is lesser, fuck them all and fuck the world!! I am so happy exactly the way I am.💚🤍🖤

I love "weird" queer folks. I love learning micro labels and hearing about fandoms and fixations. I love barking and growling and running around in the backyard with friends. I love seeing others being so unapologetically themselves.

I don't care if you're a he/him lesbian, if you're ace but you still have sex, if you're trans in any way. Your identity is yours, and you know it 10 times better than me, so I'm just going to respect whatever you tell me. I'll do the same even if you change it again and again and again.

I love learning about queer folks from different cultures' experiences with queerness. I love uplifting queer poc centered communities. Not everyone wants to or feels like they can fit into white cis centered communities. That's okay. We need more areas where poc can speak freely about their experiences without having to adhere to white peers, and we should do our best to protect the areas that already exist. I love you guys, and I'll always try my best to be an ally to yall :]

I love queer folks with disabilities. I believe they should be some of the first that we as a community defend and offer a hand to. Yall are tough as nails, and I really appreciate it when you take the time to share your experiences. I also love seeing any queer folks with tics who are unabashed about it. It makes me feel so much better about my tourettes.

Anyways. Happy pride month. Advocate for your community, and if you're in the States, please stay safe while celebrating this month.

reminder that "allies welcome" was once secret code for "those not out yet can still participate without putting themselves at risk", and for those who aren't out yet to comfortably exist in these spaces you have to let allies exist in those spaces too.

Slowly raising the tourettes headcannon laser beam at Kris Dreemurr while my girlfriend tells me about the lack of control they have over their body. I need to play the new chapters so fucking badly.

I hate when I enjoy a male character, but it gets interpreted that I think he's like,, hot?? Or that I'm attracted to him in a romantic sense.

Baby, I'm for the girls. I'm so painfully gay. My heart is full of fall weather and yearning.

I just think this dude is neat, and he makes me very sad. I am looking at him softly, not out of attraction, but instead a deep recognition and despair for his situation. I am going to be projecting. I am going to be imagining finding him stranded on my porch and offering him the couch for at least one night of peace, standing guard on the floor while he sleeps because he can't calm down. When he wakes up, there will be coffee and a note from me saying I went to work, but it's okay if he needs to come back.

I don't know how to explain this to someone who can't understand how painfully platonic it is supposed to be interpreted. It's like, have you never loved a friend so deeply you would offer the world to make them more comfortable? Why does wanting to take care of others and comfort them have to immediately equal wanting to kiss them??

I think we should just look at more tragic characters as less than "I could fix them, I could make them worse" and more, "I could try to help calm them down from an anxiety attack and sit with them for a while".

acceptable ways to correct yourself if you misgender a trans person

“I went to the store with her–him”

“He and I–sorry she and I went to the movies”

“He’s–I mean they’re a big fan of Marvel Comics”

not acceptable ways to correct yourself if you misgender a trans person

“She really likes–oh my god I mean he, I’m so sorry, I just don’t have it down yet, you need to give me time, I mean, I’m getting it, I promise, it’s just so hard sometimes, and I don’t even know where that came from, and I’m so sorry, I really didn’t mean to, you just have to go easy on me, I’ve never done this before, it’s just, I’m getting it, it won’t happen again, it’s just hard, you get it, right?”

this has been a psa

Actor Jonathan Joss was just murdered for being gay and married to a trans man. On the first day of pride 2025. He was best known for playing John Redcorn on King of the Hill.

I had no idea he was gay but he was married to a man named Tristan Kern de Gonzales (on valentines day 2025!)

They lived in San Antonio Texas where his family is from and he grew up. He was 59.

In Janurary 2025 his home was burned down which made news. It killed some of his beloved dogs. He didnt elaborate beyond he believed it was arson (gofundme is still up and i suggest donating to help his funeral costs and his husband

Update: de Gonzales says hes fine he just wants justice but i still think its nice)

Now we know he and his husband had been threatened by several neighbors for being queer. They told pigs, pigs being pigs did nothing before or after it happened.

Yesterday Joss and his husband went to check their mailbox wherein they found one of their dogs skulls (statement from his husband

)

As they weeped and mourned in shock, a neighbor, Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, came out and aimed at de Gonzales…but Joss jumped in front of the bullet and was instantly killed.

Ceja, homophobia murdering coward, tried to take off but de Gonzales had called pigs who vaguely tried to do something. He was arrested and his bail set for $200k. Or as my sister said who the fuck sets bail for a murderer?

San Antonio.

De Gonzales is clearly mourning, posting pics on Hoss’ fb page. This one really struck me

This is why we need pride people, and not rainbow capitalism. Please donate to the gofundme and let san antonio cops knows what you think. De Gonzales said multiple neighbors had threatened them…id like to see those people investigated for arson.

Go into pride with rage and knowing. Have joy, kiss puppies, dont bow to homophobes. And maybe enjoy a little king of the hill.

UPDATE

Jonathan Joss’ husband Tristan kern de Gonzales identifies as trans on his facebook page.

Which explains the ramp up of hate and why the murderer shot at de Gonzales (Joss pushed him out of the way). So this is also a transphobia related murder
