If I could create a law of the internet it would be this: There is no word so specific or so well-defined that people online won't misuse it until it is absolutely meaningless.

That shelf is going to buckle under the weight of all the words we've had to put up on it and we are still finding new words to redefine into oblivion every single day

[zymstarz]

yeah sure that's how i'll [re]come out

Watching shows like: can I have some good mentally ill representation?

The shows: sorry, all we have is extremely watered down and inaccurate schizophrenia labeled as "depression." We may have a bit of neat-freak labeled as OCD if you get here 6am thursdays.

Me: I don't like either of those options.

Shows: oh we made a one-line joke about a skinny mean-girl having anorexia :) Will that do?

Me: ...I think I'm going to go ask the podcasts

Hello, im wehaveagathering from my main blog, im kind of obsessed with your hockey poetry edits and I think your blog is great! I guess I kind of have a dumb question, where do you find the images you use for your edits? Did you say Getty in your tags?? I’ve gotten into making icons recently (and i have ideas for poetry edits hrrrghhh) but it’s hard to find high res images. Thanks for your time and I hope you have a nice day :)

first of all thank you so much 🥹 and second that’s absolutely not a dumb question!! i do pull a lot of images from getty and i’ll also download pictures from sports articles (i got a lot of the hugheses pictures from online access articles, for example), or sometimes from instagram/facebook/twitter if an account is public. freely admitting that i am not technologically advanced? inclined? in the slightest here, but the image editing software that you use and how you import/export photos with it makes a difference in the quality of them as well!

if you haven’t seen them yet, i would also recommend checking out @simmyfrobby @national-hockey-lesbian @hauntedppgpaints @tapedsleeves @starscelly and @captainbradmarchand’s blogs just off the top of my head!!! they might know more places to get high res images and also i love their work 💕🫶

Do queer people who gatekeep sexualities and gender identities have nothing better to do like genuinely what is your problem. The whole point of the community is that gender and sexuality are more fuckity wuckity than man or woman, gay or straight and in almost 2024 we STILL have mfs going “nah that’s not a thing :/ you don’t belong in the community” unless they’re causing harm to others I seriously urge you to shut the fuck up. It is the easiest thing in the world to just say “hmm I don’t really understand that. But it’s their life and none of my business” and just move on with your life and let people live theirs. I do not give one iota of a fuck if someone identifies as a wolfgender they/them/bun/bunself AMAB transmasc who is only attracted to butches with curly hair and brown eyes IT DOES NOT AFFECT ME. I’m happy that they’ve found a way to express their identity that feels true to them and then I think about it no further. Like it takes active mental energy and emotion to get pressed over how someone expresses themselves and I don’t understand why you’d put yourself through that stress and then decide to be bitchy and make people feel like shit for being themselves. I’m seriously getting so tired of people in the community acting like it’s a fucking competition or you can only join if you meet X Y and Z criteria as if it’s some college mean girls sorority club. People are actively trying to take our rights away all the time and while this is happening we’re helping them by tearing our teeth into our own. Great

Guys. I was already looking forward to bottom growth just as a concept, but lemme tell you. Actually HAVING it? So fucking awesome. I'm considering making a second blog or a side blog just to talk about how great bottom growth is.

Do not be afraid of bottom growth. It fucking rocks. A chungus clitungus. A lil sausage. A Mr. Bean. A teeny weenie.

It's the best thing in the world.

i have to say... i think the mta is moving in the right direction with this (relatively) new winter weather service map... its certainly more readable than some of the other new map designs theyve piloted recently though i do think the lack of geographical references in some areas is a problem. also why did they have to put the little walking guy in a hat and cape (????) like ok cute but it took me like 5 mins to figure out what it was lol

been cosigned by the bi women in my life to say this but i think the whole ‘bi women are 100000x more likely to be victims of partner abuse’ thing gets...almost victim blamey if u think abt it too hard. do we believe that there are men who are totally fine to date as a straight woman but if you’re bi they become Abusers or are we just avoiding thinking too hard about the reality of dating a guy who would hypothetically be beating u if u were bi. are we saying the abuse happens because they’re bi? anyway the elephant in the room is that we’re talking about self-reported statistics here and bi women are more likely to be feminists and informed about consent and coercion and so on in order to RECOGNISE abuse. meanwhile a majority of straight women don’t even believe in marital rape and we know a lot about the lengths people can go to avoid labelling what they experienced/are experiencing as abuse. + DUH sexuality is self reported too so of course going through abuse at the hands of men can be a factor in a woman unpacking compulsory heterosexuality and realising she isn’t straight.

i think it’s important because in one narrative, victim-blaming myths about IPV are subtly reinforced in the name of advocating for bi women while the other recognises that abuse can happen to anyone but bi women are informed and autonomous and not just helpless victims with no choice but to play dating life russian roulette

hey i just wanna say, its nice to know other people get fucked over by the 'spices' label on shit at the store. it sucks but you aren't alone in being screwed over by corporations keeping secrets. (i'm allergic to capsaicin, the spicy chemical in chili peppers)

hopefully ur safe food will never be out of stock when you go looking

It is very nice to know I'm not the only one with allergies the "spices" label make very hard to handle, and I'm sorry you're also in this unfortunate group I'm not allergic to capsaicin myself but I can't tolerate it well because it's a vasodilator, so if I eat spicy food it tanks my blood pressure. So, like, not the same, but I know I personally have a lot of trouble figuring out the spice levels of foods I buy, and that's with me being able to tolerate some capsaicin. I'm sure it's a lot harder to try to figure out when you're allergic to it. I hope your safe food is always in stock and never changes their ingredients!

i'm not saying this to make any sort of point but as someone who works in canadian theatre, the wga strike is going to have an interesting effect on live entertainment too, like i know multiple people who have lost their jobs or will lose their jobs soon because so much american television is produced here and obviously the iatse union is standing with the wga which it should and i also know that when film crew are out of work like this they often turn to theatre because it's a different local of the same union (and a lot of them started in theatre) and they wind up pushing permits out of work because film crew are usually members which means they get first dibs on all calls even if they don't have much live entertainment experience and even though attitudes in theatre and film are VERY different. And i really really hope the wga gets everything they want, they deserve that and more, but i also hope it happens quickly before young iatse permits get priced out of this city and we get into into another situation like the one right after the pandemic
