[ID: a photo of a shield-shaped black and white patch with a bird design, stitched to denim with pink thread. End.]

When I don't trim a patch quite right it ends up on my jacket. I'm not great with sewing, but I think it looks pretty awesome anyway >:-)

Songbird - spirit of diligence. I watched robins, finches, and sparrows build nests this year, and it is very cool to see my neighbors cozy in their homes after all their hard work. This patch design and more in the shop.

this site's userbase is so sex positive that it circles back to being aphobic sometimes.

the word empathy is WIDELY misused, even in mental health spaces. 

empathy:

is responding to a person’s emotions by experiencing the same emotion as them (i.e. feeling sad when something sad happens to that person, or happy when something happy happens to that person.)

is an automatic response that cannot be controlled

cannot be learned

sympathy:

is recognizing that another person is in pain, even if you do not experience that pain, and offering comfort to that person

is something a person must actively choose to do

can be learned

compassion:

is showcasing care and support via words and actions

is something a person must actively choose to do

can be learned

if you need an example of a person with no empathy who practices sympathy and compassion, look no further than data from star trek: the next generation. he doesn’t have emotions at all, but he’s still kind to people and wants to help them.

stop telling people that they’re evil because they don’t experience empathy. stop equating empathy with morality. stop equating empathy with caring. stop saying that cruel people “lack empathy.” stop throwing neurodivergent and mentally ill people under the bus.
