i (and carlos) would like to once again thank turin for ushering in the requited era

the brooklynn being ben's gf theory (i was not in on this theory but i already hate it and agree w you it would be terrible route for the story to take): you said something about biphobia? are people being biphobic about ben having a gf instead of a bf or something?

Yeah, it’s a really sucky thing to see. I’ve seen some bi fans make posts about hey, Ben could be bi and the response from other fans…

It’s not been great.

It’s also a little disappointing that people are acting like Ben can only be gay or only be straight.

I totally get if someone hc Ben as gay and is upset that that isn’t canon (currently, this could change!) but, that doesn’t automatically mean Ben isn’t queer.

I’m hoping we learn more about this gf or meet her.

চারিদিকে এত English এর মাঝে একটুখানি বাংলা লেখা বা পড়ার আনন্দই আলাদা। তাই না?

At least, I think so.

Much to my own shame, my Bangla knowledge is extremely limited, even more so by the fact that I learned the alphabet a long time ago and barely remember how to write simple sentences.

I tried my best, but ultimately had to put this in Google Translate, which I feel like partially defeats the purpose of your ask, so I'm sorry! Not just for having to do that, but for answering in English because, again, I can barely formulate sentences in Bangla. I can understand it well when people speak it to me, but speaking it and reading/writing it is really tough for me.

Anyways,

Yes, I absolutely agree. Even though I know so little of the language, I think it's absolutely beautiful. I'm very proud to be Bengali. And reading or writing what little I know does feel really nice :)

I hope to get back in touch with the Bengali/Indian part of me once I have a bit more time — I used to take Hindustani Classical Music lessons when I was a child and I learned a lot of Bangla songs, especially Rabindra Sangeet from my old teacher. I have a lot of memories that I cherish from that time, like learning to pronounce Bangla words and understanding what these songs actually mean while expanding my knowledge of music. My voice isn't what it used to be (thanks, puberty), but I think I still have it in me, and my love of music always reigns eternal.

Anyways, this probably isn't the answer you were hoping for, but I hope this gets across what it means to me to be Bengali, even though my language skills are horrendous 😅

"You are not our children. You are... a bad first draft."

calamity really is fantastic

"You think that you are a man of true belief, and that it is all these wizards around you that are humble. Who is the most PROUD man HERE? These ones who thought they would fly a city, or the man who thought he would teach ME a lesson? (...) Now I'll tell you why I spit on your forgiveness. I'll tell you why I loathe your redemption. To reach a hand down to somebody, they need to be BENEATH YOU! And I'm beneath nobody."

SKELLS WHY DID YOU PUT THIS IN MY INBOX OOUYFGHHGGHH

god i've seen sooo many clips of brennan's asmodeus but nothing could have prepared me to bear witness to it in the moment

i feel like for as wild as the sex dnf are having skephalo sex is at least 10 times more batshit insane.

hmm depending on the insaneisms, like dnf are insane but free and they get to be freaky knowing they love each other unconditionally, they also like loving marital sex.

skephalo is more crazy contextually i fear

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

[beepboopappreciation]

Is this anything

[beebfreeb]

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

--

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

Listen man, you guys can't be like "you guys need to be normal about asexuality" and then turn around and get weirdly judgemental when you find out someone doesn't have sex by choice. Like that's weird that some of you do that.
