he's a boy no matter what he has between his legs.

how a person identifies themselves is fact. it's not open to interpretation. respect it.

I can't wait to give up this job. Today my colleague was like 'omg I hate that no one ever crushes ice in the morning' and I just wanted to be like 'UM I do the morning shift, and no, I don't crush ice, but you know what I DO do? Who do you think restocks all the fridges and freezers? Who do you think preps all the cake, and cuts the fruit, and makes the popcorn, and makes sure the coffee machine is set up, and the washing up from last night is all put away? Who do you think runs the baby club and has to clean up the diapers left over? Who sometimes even has to single-handedly manhandle the outdoor furniture out into the rain, and put away the milk delivery?'

Who do you think does all that, all the while simultaneously serving and preparing coffee/soda/cakes/popcorn/milkshakes/ice cream for Every. Single. Customer. in the building because I'm the only staff member in the building, besides the chef and the manager who have other shit to do?

We use crushed ice in ONE cocktail.

ONE.

So with all due respect, fuck off.

Indians supporting the Israeli regime do it largely out of Islamophobia, not ignorance. They see Israel do what they want to, legitimise genocide in the country

I hope they rot.

I am too tired and frustrated to write up a real rant, but I just want to point out, after yesterday’s mass shooting that killed 19 children and a teacher, that we Americans have been taking our shoes off to go through airport security for like 20 fucking years after ONE failed attempt at a shoe bombing that killed no one, but we can’t pass any kind of sensible gun control laws after multiple mass shootings, multiple school shootings killing small children.  Instead we’ve made mass shooter drills a regular part of school for these kids.

I’m not even a “ban all guns” type of person, I respect responsible gun owners, and I’m not trying to take their guns away.  Protect yourself, go hunting, target shoot, as long as you use and store your guns safely I don’t care.  I’m just tired of all the bullshit disingenuous arguments about how a gun is just a tool, people will find any way to kill someone if they’re determined, etc, etc.  Yes, but the gun makes it a lot easier to kill people, doesn’t it?  The gun makes it easy to kill a lot of people very quickly, even while they are trying to run away, doesn’t it?  The Las Vegas shooter didn’t kill 60 people throwing knives out the window, did he?  Can we at least admit this is a problem instead of dancing around the issue every time, and demonizing the mentally ill by pointing at them as a scapegoat.  We banned lawn darts and Kinder eggs after a few children died, but we are selling bulletproof backpacks to kids rather than address how many guns we have in America.

I’m tired of The Onion having to repost this article

I kinda don't wanna work on birthday gif sets and just make the outfit gif sets instead. The sparkle suits are calling my name

[nouverx]

Pov the cannibal overlords are judging your outfit (or discussing how they're going to cook you tonight, your choice 👀)

Based on very cool outfits for them I saw on twitter! Here's Alastor and here's Rosie

shoutout to people who don't have a "before" the trauma.

shoutout to people who don't have any sweet or nostalgic childhood memories. to people who don't remember enough of their childhood to know what the before was like. to people who lost their innocence before they ever learned the word for it. to people whose pasts were too painful to keep around in any form. to people who only knew trauma, and don't have an idea of what life would be like without it. to people who can't long for "the better days" because there weren't any.

you deserve a good future. i hope it's there for you soon.

[onesidedradiostatic]

do you think vox has one of these with velvette too

probably as a soft copy posted online with a caption instead of a physical photo though. just to complete the unholy trinity of it being a requirement to take a photo with vox if you're associated with him

[wombywoo]

Just laying some ground rules because in this past week I've seen more nonsense™️ than I have in my entire online experience thus far and this wombat's just about had it🤦‍♀️

starting with #1--if you see my stolen art (or anyone's art for that matter) on pinterest DO NOT repost that art on social media. like AT ALL. period.

#2--STOP tagging VA's in my twitter posts. If I wanted them to see it, I'd do it myself. this just reads like you're the one that wants attention, and it's annoying. bye.

#3--whatever this shit is.

the audacity of not only reposting art, but running it through a tween-idol filter ??? If you can't handle my boy's raw, unchiseled anglo saxon jawline, then gtfo 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

finally #4--DO NOT ACCUSE ME OF MAKING AI ART!!! I can't even fathom how you've reached this conclusion, but making a callout post about me where you claim you have 'proof' is the most ludicrous thing you could've done for yourself mate, because if you want proof, then how's this:

just an example of hundreds of digital artworks I've made in the past...6-ish years?? maybe before AI was even a thing..🤔

Anyway--kindly get the fuck of my lawn 📣📣📣

Asexual Joel. Not in the sense that he doesn't experience sexual attraction, but in the sense that he reproduced via mitosis. That's why there's so many of him in all this intros

[redysetdare]

A character looks straight into the camera and says "I'm not interested in romance" and people will still say "No, it's not confirmed they're aromantic!!!" "They could change their mind!!!" "it's a challenge for them to overcome!!!" "They'll have character development that makes them fall in love"

It's like they are given the most blatant answer to a character romantic orientation and they actively ignore it. all the while all it takes is subtext for people to speak as if it is fact for a character to be any other sexuality.

Is Ecliptica still see Oscar as food or did she just decide to make him her "pet" cause he amuses her?

How do you know it's not both?

Punk 101: A History of Battle Jackets

Battle Jackets have a long and interesting history in general, not limited only to punk. Today we see them as a reflection of the wearer, they are a form of self expression and affiliation.

Battle jackets can trace their origins back to WWII American pilots who would decorate their flight suits and bomber jackets with their squadron's insignia patches. They were jackets that allowed pilots to easily recognize each other and instilled a sense of pride and community in their owners. This is also where the term 'battle jacket' comes from.

After the war was over, pilots returned home and many found joy in the speed and excitement of motorcycles. Biker clubs were formed, and thus, biker culture as well. Pilots often used their bomber jackets while riding because of the protection they offered, though the sleeves were usually removed due to how they restricted movement. Jackets got decorated with club/gang logos to represent their wearer's affiliation, much like the insignia patches. As biker clubs grew, members without a pilot history often used leather or denim jackets to showcase their affiliations. There is a LOT more to biker jacket history, but this is what's really relevant to punk jackets.

In the 60s, two different cultures evolved in the UK. The first is The Mods, known for listening to modern jazz and riding scooters (supposedly their name comes from the modern jazz thing. I would not have been surprised if it was from 'modification' considering the seeming obsession to keep adding mirrors and lights to their scooters). The other group was The Rockers who were known for listening to 50s rock and riding motorcycles. While the groups strongly disliked each other, they both decorated their jackets in ways that influenced punk's jacket scene. The Mods often added pictures, paintings, and patches to theirs, while The Rockers were more likely to be seen sporting spikes and studs. (Not to say that those things were strictly limited to each side - just what was more common)

The following decade (the 70s), the two branches came together as various music subgenres collided and formed. Punk was among the genres formed, and the culture surrounding it was one of the first non-gang or club related groups to decorate their jackets. Taking influence from both The Mods and The Rockers, the characteristic punk look was formed, and intended to be a Fuck You to societal norms. In the earliest days, punk jackets were mostly covered in band patches, much like modern heavy metal jackets. As punk evolved into what we know it as today, with notes of anti-establishment and anarchy, it became more common to see political patches right along side the band ones.

Today's jackets are a personal statement. the bands you like, your interests, political statements. They are a symbol of individuality and rebellion against society. They are a physical representation of YOU and your history with punk culture. This is why it is so important within punk culture to make your own jacket or have someone help who can customize it to you. You are not a generic human off the rack, you have lived a life, had your own battles, have your own personality, and have your own history. A premade, mass produced jacket won't showcase any of that or really truly represent the individuality of 'you'.
