No it doesn't.

Being hurt does not help anyone. It can actively make you be less able to help. One does not need to be hurt in order to believe things to be wrong or right.

This is not positivity. "Being sensitive is not a moral flaw" =/= "the world needs you to be in pain".

If your worldview allows the existence and validity of doubles, it does allow the same for factkin.

(This post is pro doubles and factkin)

Being pro cisharmful and pro-full-transharmful-transition requires you to be fine with anti-cisharmfuls and those who are anti-full-transharmful-transition, actually.

You believe we're harmful, yeah?

And you're *pro harm*, yeah?

Aren't we Just Living Our Life in your opinion? Does it not matter if that impacts how others live theirs?

Or does it, but only if what it impacts is their right to nonconsensually impact the life of others?

Don't touch this post if you are not pro-transharmful and pro-pseudoharmful, and/or believe that race/ability/age transition is transharmful transition.

another thing that bourdieu says that I feel very deeply is that if you investigate any social phenomena long enough you arrive at the state. I didn’t start in academia particularly interested in the state as an object of study but it has ended up being completely unavoidable

Those who talk about wishing they went to public school are talking about wishing they weren’t abused and isolated by their parents.

Childhood&adolescence socialization does not only exist in school. Your parents have purposefully isolated you from your peers not just by homeschooling you.

Protection from abuse must exist for every situation, and school would not have saved you from abuse. If it did, infinitely less of those who go/went to public school would be/have been also abused by their parents — as well as by their teachers (and other staff) and other students.

Systems of power are the problem, including, at the core, that of the family — and school is a system of power too.

And. There. Are. Always. Those. Who are too disabled for public school.

Lucifer: While we’re here and having a nice meal at this very fancy restaurant, please order something appropriate.

*Mammon, Levi & MC all stare at Lucifer in “confused autistic with a very specific safe food”.* 

Lucifer…..

*five minutes of awkward silence as the three keep staring at Lucifer* 

Lucifer: For the love of Diavolo order whatever you want! 

*Mammon, Levi & MC all order chicken tenders and fries :D* 

Once again formatted like your post love you ro  ♡

I just know Lucifer is tired of them ordering the same thing at every restaurant jsksjsksj

Tho now I wonder if the devildom has it’s own version of chicken tenders ‘n fries- like deep fried bat wings ‘n chips or something-

the people aren't ready to hear this but angelique arbitrarily picking quentin to decide to be in love with out of nowhere, bewitching roger into marriage and then absolutely not wanting him to touch her, and constantly pursuing men's (chiefly barn's) attention only when it's clear he doesn't want her, is soooo comp het of her.

jim holden would have been a much more interesting character if he spent more time talking about his parents polycule or, frankly, creating his own

Castiel likes Dean he likes him a lot he enjoys when he's annoying he doesn't want to punish him or say mean things about him he doesn't view their friendship as a burden on him he isn't holding past slights over Dean's head especially when he knows the full context he doesn't feel used by Dean he thinks Dean is the best man in the world and he loves him!!!!!!

Alek scowled. His allies in Istanbul had never kept secrets from him. If only he could have stayed there somehow. According to the newspapers, the rebels had control of the capital now, and the rest of the Ottoman Empire was falling under their sway. He would have been respected there, useful, instead of a waste of hydrogen.

Let's imagine for a moment that Alek had stayed. Do we think he would have been shipped off to New York with Lilit for being annoying. Do we think maybe he would have stopped that from happening by standing up for her. Would they have used him for propaganda the same way Tesla and the Darwinists used him.

No I DON'T. I am a manual artist. The only way I could actually start making art was stopping doing this. Congrats to you if you do but you are not the only fucking artist in the world, the kind of artist you are is not the only fucking kind of artist in the world, and the way you make art is not the only fucking valid way to make art. I still cannot do some of my drawing/painting ideas that I technically could have but it would eat all my fucking human strength, I still have wips lying for months in my wip folder on some of which I work by a bit and with some of which I'm not sure I'll ever get back to; but the best that I make paintings is when I just sit down and sketch something in a few minutes and then paint it in a couple of hours actively keeping myself from fixing mistakes because if I'll start I'll never end (many cases where I'd start, and then just undo-button all the way back to what I started from). With those ideas that I still cannot do, I hope that I'll get to the point where I can make them this way, because I Am progressing. I used to try to do art (not just visual) the way that you describe. Boy was it bad for me. Genuine congratulations to you that it is good for you. That does not mean that all those for whom it isn't should be barred from making art.

....and also just. How do you all fucking do that "but what's the point of bringing the idea in your head into the world outside of it if you don't want to suffer while doing it". Sometimes someone just fucking wants to see the pic in their head outside of their head.

.....Double also. There are lots of classic artist shitposts exactly about that. This is not me saying "they should all just use AI", *I don't use AI*, this is me saying that it's not something fucking new and alien???

Also number three, I know at least one manual artist who tried to use AI and ultimately didn't because it was too complicated for that person's usage. :)

art takes so long and its so tiring but if i dont make art for the rest of my life ill die

and like sidenote if i can make a post with a target audience of zero. i feel like fhsy was to d20 what aa3 was to ace attorney but aa3 pulled it off better for reasons i cannot explain

[ace-up-your-sleeve]

listen to trans women even includes the ones u disagree with, lmao

trust me, i do! if you read the whole post, including all of my replies you would know that i stated that if it became more of an issue, i would remove the question.

we have our own opinions on what is transphobic and thats ok! its healthy, even, to have different opinions with those in your community. this survey exists so i can learn the needs of the trans and nonbinary community.

i do not, however, feel that the trans woman in question brought it up in a mature or productive way. there is a place at the end of the survey for input, and i directed them to my dms to further discuss this. instead they chose to insult me and my survey. which, again, was not a mature or productive approach.

if anyone else has any concerns or issues please dm me.

"Our meeting is providence," he said. "I swear I can help you, Nene."

Inexplicably, Lilit burst into laughter. Zaven let out a low chuckle, and the creature joined in.

"What a charmer," Lilit said. "He's adopted you now, Nene."

Alek realized his mistake. Nene wasn't a name at all, but simply a word for "grandmother", like "oma" in German.

"I'm sorry my Armenian is deficient, madam."

The old woman smiled. "Not to worry. At my age, one can never have too many grandchildren. Even if some of them are idiots."

I think this whole conversation (perhaps even the whole chapter) exemplifies how most people feel about Alek after they first meet him. Almost every introduction with Alek follows his Four-Step Plan for Getting People to be Fond of You:

1. Initially come off as stuck-up and out of touch

2. Stick your foot in your mouth and say something you really shouldn't

3. Immediately realize that was a mistake and course correct (sometimes with an apology, always with changed behavior)

4. Say something so earnest that people can't help but be endeared to you

Now if he could learn to optimize and cut out the first three steps and just skip to the earnest part, things could go much smoother for him.

"Cringe culture is dead" people when someone actually does things they consider cringe without parading that Yes They Know It's Cringe

Do Not blackout this post, I said what I fucking said, this is not just about the part prior to 'without'

Yea Sure U Can be Cringe but only if you paste a little (or preferably very very big) "cringe culture is dead" / "I am cringe but I am free" / etc on it

That is its function
