When I was younger everyone cared about Talk Like a Pirate Day. Every September 19th it'd be yars and shivers me timber all the way down, and people took delight in it. Now nobody ever talks like a pirate, on that day or any other. So few of us cling to the old ways. This is where our society went wrong. People not talking about pirates once a year, everything else about society is fine, probably

Birds of Aotearoa! At the very least, a couple of them!

If you could see something no one else could see, like, say, everyone having a halo that revealed what they were thinking, or something like that, you'd think you'd realize that you're very different pretty fast, right? That you can do something no one else can do? You'd figure it out early in your childhood, surely. Because no one else would even mention it or talk about it and it's so obvious to you, right?

But we live in a world where people can be colourblind and not know it for decades. There are people who have four cones in their eyes instead of three and can see many more colours than most people, but no one knows who those people are, or even how many of them there are. They assume everyone can see what they can see.

We live in a culture that radically changed how sleep works and no one mentioned it. We used to sleep in two parts, and wake up in between them to be sort of half-awake, and we called it " the witching hour". We failed to talk about it so much that everyone collectively forgot that the witching hour was once a normal part of the human experience and not just a cool term for when weird things happen.

I think there are things we assume are so normal they're not worth mentioning, and we assume that's why no one mentions them, so if it's different for you, maybe you just think it's impolite to mention it, right? That everyone can see the thing you can see, but it would be rude or boring or gauche to say so.

if the thing were knowing what people were thinking, surely there would be times when it felt like other people could see it too, right, because we can be pretty good at reading faces and context. So if someone says, "I know what you're thinking," you might take that to mean that they are acknowledging that they can see it as clearly as you can. So maybe you just start saying, "I know what you're thinking," and no one thinks it's weird, so you don't realize other people actually can't see it the way you can.

As much as it sounds nutty, I think it actually is plausible that you could have a radically different sense of perception without realizing it.

It's like how we can all see the ghosts, and we've just agreed not to talk about them too much. Right?

All of the Prehistoric Pride guys in one collective post to celebrate pride month. Choose your fighter and have an awesome time :D

More suggestions are always welcome, I sadly was not able to cover everyone, but I will do more of these in the future!

I am going to add more and more to the collection as I get them done :D

If you would like to support my silly little dinosaur art, then you can buy any of these Prideaurs as stickers from my Etsy shop, which I just set up recently. I am pretty new to this entire business side of art things, but I am trying my best :D so a like or a reblog would go a long way. Thank you guys so much for all your kind words and support!
