i have started asking myself “how can i make this more fun?” in regards to the things i have to do and it is such a small difference but it brings me so much delight

When you get dressed up for a pride event but end up not going bc parking was hell, so then you post pictures of the fit online with the hope that queers on your phone will give you attention 🥺🌈

hey cuties!

i noticed @headspace-hotel expressing surprise at how elementary and high school teachers are banning aave from schools under the pretense of "preventing gang activity", something that has bothered me for over a decade. personally, I have also heard teachers refer to it as "gibberish" or "incorrect" and uh ???? especially when the same students who used these words followed all of the "rules" in essays and presentations and even interactions with the teachers, only switching dialects with friends.

i was wondering, do any of you have experience with

1) an (english) dialect being erased or banned in an american school

2) an (english) dialect being erased/banned in an (english-speaking non-american) school

3) a (non-english) dialect/language being erased/banned in a (non-english-speaking) school or

4) a (non-english) dialect/language being erased/banned in an (english-speaking or american) school

this includes calques, loanwords, creoles, pidgins, etc.

ofc i do not mean curse words, which schools pretty universally ban.

some examples i have heard are aave, malayalam, and various indigenous languages from the americas.

these do not have to be your dialect or language, they can be any you have noticed. i do not speak aave, and am asian/white, but i have just noticed it in my schools until late high school.

please rb for sample size, cats and robots!!

do reblog or reply with experiences if you have em, i would like to hear, and will rb yours if you want!

this includes if you have no experience with this, why do you think you haven't?

if this happened to you, that is truly awful and i truly hope that that person or administration or government gets fired 🤭

love y'all! 💚

(side note: why would anybody ban "y'all" it is the most useful piece of nonacademic language ever istg)

so I was attempting to explain to my mother, in the family vidcall yesterday, that real life people like Harry Styles cannot 'queerbait' when she hit me with:

'oh. it's evil like rpf is?'

and i just

Is it TF?

TF, as in Transformation, is a concept that can mean quite a few things to many different people- and when depicted in art or media, usually consists of some sort of physical or psychological transformation of one thing into another, often including the contexts before or after such a change occurs. 

For the purposes of this blog, the assumed pretense that the TF or TF-adjacent content depicted in posts on this blog being nonsexual in this manner is considered the default, and will be treated or engaged with as such unless clarified otherwise, but there are plenty of ways those who engage in TF art can enjoy it! There are many who consider it a paraphilia for themselves and commonly enjoy it as a sexual theme (as explained and described very well in this comic here), but it is also quite common for people to enjoy it entirely nonsexually, as well- perhaps exploring it under a lens of gender, as a vessel or narrative device to communicate themes, or just liking it as an unrelated special interest... TF is fascinating and alluring concept in itself, regardless of the ways it can be enjoyed and explored.

I made this blog because I love it when I see people unintentionally making TF posts on tumblr. I feel like it happens a lot and I think it's really, really funny when it does, by accident or not. Feel free to tag me in posts or send in questions asking if something is TF, and I'll give my honest answer as an expert in the field myself. 

Don't forget, words to live by:

Primary tags: #this is tf, #this is tf art, #unintentional tf, #intentional tf, #definitely intentional tf, #not tf

Hiiiii! I’ve recently started writing fanfics in this fandom. Unfortunately, none of my beta readers are connected or interested in our firefam :((

So I was wondering if you have any idea where we could find our lovely beta readers in this fandom?? I’m more than willing to return the favour, no strings.

Is there any forum when we could sample our works? Or just list out our fics and seek someone?

If you could let me know about it, or just point me to someone who can do that, it’d be greatly appreciated! Thank you xx

Hi and welcome to the community, I’m so glad you’re here!

We have a whole bunch of fantastic betas across the fandom and I bet we can use this post to connect you to one.

————————————-

Are you a beta with availability? Please help! 💛

—————————-

I am not aware of a general 911 Lone Star forum for writers, but if your work is Tarlos-centric and you’re 18+, I encourage you to check out the Tarlos Weekly Prompts Discord Server. This is @chaotictarlos’s community of writers and cheerleaders, and includes brainstorming, fic sharing and beta request channels.

You may also find a good beta match by seeking out those credited with beta reading others’ 911 LS fics, or asking the writers who they use.

But today I’m asking my mutuals who are interested to reblog or comment so that you can reach out to them directly.

Thanks for the ask and good luck!

built a little diving spot, then immediately decided going SPLOOSH was nothing without the appropriate signage. i am nothing if not predictable.

//my favorite thing lately has been scrubbing the internet for decades old samurai jack edits and amvs and watching them. there’s so much love for samurai jack in them, faith that he would be back to finish his tale one day, and it fits perfectly with the time it came out lol. the edits aren’t as great as they would be with technology nowadays and the music is often linkin park but there’s always an open love for Jack and the series in there. and there’s something about seeing people love Jack even when it’s not at it’s most angsty, when it’s just seasons 1-4, without the novelty, without anything else to focus on but what makes Jack Jack.

my brain has officially cracked. you know how you endure such pain that your heart can't take it anymore, so your brain just... cracks?

it's like uninveitable death.

you see, like imagine a string of your scarf getting out, over time it gets worst and worst to the point of being unfixable.

that's what I'm talking about. the crack just gets bigger and bigger until you die.

no matter how much I try to take care of it, I don't know how to sew. I cannot not use it. I can move carefully, but that won't help much.

for how long I can keep it that way? one month, two months? one year? one day it fully breaks.

I never wanted to die.

It's not easy to be a guy with a weird gender and complicated relationships with its sexuality and romantic attraction and fat and autistic and traumatized to the bone but someone has to do it
