#YES I FUCKING DO

[stellarluminosity]

Here's some sunset pictures I took:

Not my usual space posts but the SKY is sort of related to space. I might as well share some sunset pics that I took over the years with my phone.

Other planets can be cool with their perpetual storms or diamond showers but do they have marvelous sunsets like the Earth? Don't think so! It's undeniable that sunsets on Earth are amazing and you'll probably never see anything like it anywhere else in the universe. Let us all bask in its beauty!

And no two sunsets are alike so each time you observe a sunset, know that you'll only be seeing it once! Oh how wondrous the sky can be!

As usual click on the pics for better quality

respect existence or expect resistance. don’t fucking hurt others. anti-cruelty. pro-karma.

trans people are people. trans men are men, trans women are women. disabled people are people. all are inherently deserving of support and joy.

anyone can get sa’d [including men], nobody fucking should. do NOT make rape jokes - about anyone. stop telling people to “kys”, for fuck’s sake, it’s wrong. be kind. be empathetic. to others and yourself.

black trans people are valid. black cis people are valid. black non-straight people are valid. black straight people are valid. black queer people are valid. black non-queer people are valid. black people are beautiful and deserve to feel it and know it.

the queer community would not have its rights today without the work of black activists. don’t you fucking dare erase that. black women are inherent, vital parts of both feminism and anti-racism. don’t erase any parts of them. feminism is not and will never be feminism without intersectionality.

fat people are people. do not erase them and their existences on behalf of their percieved health. being fat is not a choice. and even if it were, it would not be a valid reason to discount them.

terfs are bad. men are not inherently bad. it’s a disservice to bad men and good men alike. bad men are bad people who make bad choices and could have been good people who made good choices. men are queer, and disabled, and people of color, and fat, and even when they’re not any of that they can still decide to be good people.

stop butting into others’ private medical care. let people control their own uteruses. let trans kids have whatever supportive medical care they need. trust trans kids. trust science. trust vaccines.

jesus was jewish and a liberal. don’t use religion to justify your hatred and desire for control. don’t use religion as a shield to justify your fear of the unknown.

don’t make lizard government jokes, or big nose jokes. jokes that you don’t understand the history of could be cruel. if someone tells you that your joke was cruel, never make it again. live. learn. be kinder.

sex work is work. nobody should be forced into sex work because of poverty. people whose work is sex work are valid.

defend and elevate people who are weaker than you. project their voices.

colonization is bad and inherently evil. america and so many others stole their land from its native peoples. never forget that. do what you can to make up for that. maybe you didn’t steal the land, but you are directly benefitting from it.

everyone deserves access to food and water and shelter and internet and beauty. everyone deserves affordable healthcare. everyone deserves community and dignity.

fuck the prison-industrial complex. rehabilitation over retribution. stop the cycle of hurt and trauma. nobody should be making money off of those who have been forced to harm others to survive in a capitalist hellscape.

it’s okay to want to be private on the internet, but never say something to others that you wouldn’t want to be said to you, and keep in mind that others may have different boundaries than you. don’t be a creep. tone tags are helpful. if you overreact or say something inappropriate to someone on the internet, apologize. you are a person. they are a person. they will remember you if you don’t apologize and they will remember you differently if you do.

fuck billionaires. billionaires’ existences are inherently unethical. billionaires should use their money for good and to do good things. billionaires should lobby for better protections and to make the world a better place. billionaires can be helpful. billionaires so rarely are. billionaires could use their billions of dollars to effect such rapid changes in the world.

don’t steal others’ work. including with ai. it’s wrong. just don’t.

above all be kind. above all take no shit. above all believe the best in others. above all don’t let others do you harm.

The moral of the story is, I have been stuck on the Mr X/Tyrant fight for years and my family has stopped looking for me. I legit scream laughed (if that’s a thing) when Leon said “IS THIS A FUCKING JOKE?”

I don’t talk about it here often but holy hell I am in pain what the fuck why

[creed-of-cats]

"If voting changed anything they wouldn't let people do it-" grabs your face THEY DIDN'T JUST "LET" PEOPLE DO IT, MOST PEOPLE COULDN'T VOTE FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS. PEOPLE OF COLOR ONLY GOT THE FULL RIGHT TO VOTE 50 YEARS AGO IN THE US, THATS BARELY A GENERATION.

IF IT DIDNT MATTER AT ALL WHY WOULD THEY SPEND SO MUCH TIME GERRYMANDERING THE SHIT OUT OF EVERYWHERE?? WHY CAN'T FELONS VOTE?? WHY CANT PUERTO RICO VOTE? WHY DO THEY KEEP SWITCHING DATES AND LAWS AND TIMES AND WHATEVER THEY POSSIBLY CAN TO STOP PEOPLE FROM VOTING?? WHY DO THEY MAKE EFFORT AT ALL??

BEING DISILLUSIONED IS A REASONABLE RESPONSE. BUT PEOPLE FOUGHT AND DIED AND ARE STILL FUCKING DYING FOR THAT RIGHT, DONT SPIT IN THEIR FACE.

i would say that, mentally speaking, i'm in a good place right now! physically of course, the crows continue their chanting,

probably time for this story i guess but when i was a kid there was a summer that my brother was really into making smoothies and milkshakes. part of this was that we didn't have AC and couldn't afford to run fans all day so it was kind of important to get good at making Cool Down Concoctions.

we also had a patch of mint, and he had two impressionable little sisters who had the attitude of "fuck it, might as well."

at one point, for fun, this 16 year old boy with a dream in his eye and scientific fervor in heart just wanted to see how far one could push the idea of "vanilla mint smoothie". how much vanilla extract and how much mint can go into a blender before it truly is inedible.

the answer is 3 cups of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup milk alternative, and about 50 sprigs (not leaves, whole spring) of mint. add ice and the courage of a child. idk, it was summer and we were bored.

the word i would use to describe the feeling of drinking it would maybe be "violent" or perhaps, like. "triangular." my nose felt pristine. inhaling following the first sip was like trying to sculpt a new face. i was ensconced in a mesh of horror. it was something beyond taste. for years after, i assumed those commercials that said "this is how it feels to chew five gum" were referencing the exact experience of this singular viscous smoothie.

what's worse is that we knew our mother would hate that we wasted so much vanilla extract. so we had to make it worth it. we had to actually finish the drink. it wasn't "wasting" it if we actually drank it, right? we huddled around outside in the blistering sun, gagging and passing around a single green potion, shivering with disgust. each sip was transcendent, but in a sort of non-euclidean way. i think this is where i lost my binary gender. it eroded certain parts of me in an acidic gut ecology collapse.

here's the thing about love and trust: the next day my brother made a different shake, and i drank it without complaint. it's been like 15 years. he's now a genuinely skilled cook. sometimes one of the three of us will fuck up in the kitchen or find something horrible or make a terrible smoothie mistake and then we pass it to each other, single potion bottle, and we say try it it's delicious. it always smells disgusting. and then, cerimonious, we drink it together. because that's what family does.

why in the year of our lord 2023 does the new WarioWare not have online play, that's fucking ridiculous

[letmetellyouaboutmyfeels]

I am incredibly serious right now when I beg you all, please, and if you have Twitter or Tiktok or whatever to please spread the word: click on an author's profile on Ao3.

You want to know if an author has written more? Want to know if they're still writing? Want to see more from them? Want to know if they've written a trope or kink or sex scenario you enjoy?

Click on their name. And look at their profile.

I cannot tell you how many times in the last six months someone has read a new or newer fic of mine and said they (a new reader who has read nothing else I've done) "can't wait to see what you do next!" I've written 50+ fics and over a million words already.

"I don't know if you're still writing..." click on my profile. I am. I literally wrote a 128k+ fic for that ship last month.

"Would you ever do X?" "Please do Y!" I already did. Click on my name and look at my works.

Archive of our Own is a library. It's an archive. Not social media. It is your responsibility to fight back against the laziness that corporate algorithms have trained into you.

Click my author name. Just click it. Just click it.

Before you demand more, or ask if a writer will do XYZ, or wonder if the author still writing, or anything - click on their profile. Click on the author's profile.

I'm not trying to be mean or condescending or anything like that. I'm just exhausted. It's disheartening and frustrating to repeat myself ad nauseam, because someone couldn't take thirty seconds to do the tiniest bit of work to see if I've written lately, if I've written more for their ship, or scan my works to see if I've written what they're asking for. Please. Please. I'm begging.

Click the author's name, and explore before you ask.

People keep on asking for more Baby Robin and Papadile so here is more Baby Robin and Papadile. Now never ask anything from me ever again

[iguessyouregonnamissthepantyraid]

sorry we put your morally complex black female character in a fandom. yeah they're vilifying her for making difficult decisions under severe duress. yeah no it's too late, they're already writing porn about the random white guy with 30 seconds of screentime who did all the same bad stuff that she did but for worse reasons. yeah. yeah no. not really anything we can do at this point. sorry
