I escape by not being clever or a man, so yeah.

plot twist: my main character is actually just me with better hair and more dramatic life choices

Not telling your kid they have a learning disability, chronic illness, mental illness etc. so they can “feel normal” actually does the opposite. They will not feel normal if they do not have the context to understand that their normal will be different from that of their peers.

Deity of Jungle apparently. I am the Lorax, and I speak for the trees.

here's a random word generator--whatever word it gives you is now the thing you are the deity of

I saw a sign coloring the non-binary option in yellow and my brain immediately auto-filled: oh, teaboot. I guess you're a gender now or something.

I am okay with this

reblog ONLY if prev is a mutual, i want to see how far this post can go

Hold on, what!? I...I...just what? Yay, one more example of me being a little clueless and stupid.

Don't worry, this isn't exclusive to you. Cats will drink cow milk even though it's not good for many of them. Dogs will eat chocolate even though it's toxic for them. All animals are often pretty bad at knowing what's good for them and their kind. So don't feel too bad about it.

BEING AN ANIMALKIN DOES NOT MAKE YOU AN EXPERT IN NATURE/VETERINARY SCIENCE.

\*Sigh\* This cuts deep. One day. One day when I'm in a financial situation to do so safely I'll adopt some little kid and try to give them a better childhood than I had.

CW: dysphoria, child bearing, internalised transphobia

Many people told us that "Motherly Vibes" is an intensely relatable comic, and not only to transgender women. Many of us internalized that our value as a human being, at least partially, depends on the ability to have children. And that means we are bound to have very difficult feelings - of loss, of grief, of anger and frustration - and, perhaps, worthlessness.

If we had more support on Patreon, we could actually post more than two new chapters a year. That would've been awesome, right?

Aliko Dangote, the richest man in Africa, has been tormented by a Brazilian man named Osvaldo for the last several years.

"a variation of food" - Goodness. You know it's bad when they can't just say food without qualifications.

they're gonna violate food safety standards we've never even heard of

This is me, if you even care

It was @naharie, in the parlor, with a #aromantic.

@informedimagining I don't have lots of writer friends/mutuals to tag, but here you go:

“How curious,” she thought, “has my memory failed me or has another undone what I have wrought?” An unusual thought, even for an adult, but she was not an adult; she was, but recently, twelve.

Don't drink coffee but reblogging on the off chance that some of my mutuals have advice.

Black coffee tastes less black than it used to

Besties, what options can you do to your coffee besides syrups (I don't do sugar; I've tried cold per birb and cappuccino froth as well)
