I'm putting the word "exotic" on top of the refrigerator yall can't be trusted. we live in a global world, no more using "exotic" to refer to things that are locally familiar to many people who are simply not in your area

"clam chowder is an exotic soup" is a true statement for the vast majority of human beings on this planet

from now on exotic should refer to like. newly discovered and undiscovered species. exotic mites are flourishing in my backyard

reminds me of this plant we used to have in texas that was exclusively on one property and the fringes of its fence line when i was raised on a farm

no idea what the hell it was. goats went insane for it. looked like a brown version of milk thistle but clearly wasn't poisonous; they literally prioritized eating it over everything else. got super crunchy when it dried out into a husk. didn't sting.

we called it goatweed and lo and behold when a botanist was called to identify it they'd never seen it before. took samples and asked us what we called it. those samples may be the last remnants because the goats went out of their way to eat as much of it as possible and i have no idea if that plant is extinct now :(

I. I need SO many more details about the Exotic Mystery Goatweed Driven To Extinction By Local Goat Herd

Say Hello back so he feel appreciated :)

fuck my stupid gay life i drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was DRY 😭😭😭

Very funny that the 2 lasting legacies of BBC Sherlock is the big jumpstart of Hbomberguy's career and people going "I am not an alcoholic" everytime they miss the charging port on their phone

porn artists getting treated as below sfw artists is so funny to me considering the dude who is the grandfather of anime drew furry TF porn in his spare time for fun.

i hope he knows this art is extremely revolutionary

NSFW art is important. kink is important lmao

no, SEXUAL EXPRESSION WITHIN ART IS IMPORTANT. Better wording

For April fools today I am gonna be named kyle, ama

the original got flagged with no way to appeal it when every contributor is deactivated but I will never let this post die. it's monday and we are getting on it cunts

I personally see myself as being judged as not good queer rep, as aroace who dates, "feminine" trans, "emotionless" trope, alien/robot/outsider coded, etc.

This poll is because i am often thinking about characters that are considered bad rep, but I know people in real life are LIKE THAT and identity is messy! In my opnion bad queer rep would be the ones that are shown or touched upon on screen. Idk, just wondering.

Edit: lmao i wrote hood isntead of good and tumblr didnt let me edit

probably not. as transgender representation because i haven't "transitioned enough" and there were no super obvious signs of gender variance, let alone dysphoria, before i came out. i use a specific and uncommon label for my gender, i talk a lot about exorsexism, both of which people think is "unrealistic". i'm neurodivergent, which means of course i couldn't possibly know what gender i am. for most of my journey, i was isolated and not surrounded by other queers at all, which apparently is also "unrealistic". in some ways i'm the nonbinary stereotype which people would be mad about. i've been with my partner, a cisgender person who considers themself het with me as the exception, since before i've come out.

Too much going on, the perisex cisallohet peeps (at least those that aren't allies deep in this shit wouldn't get me

I've seen such a spike in use of rhetoric around the word "theyfab" as more and more trans "allies" use it to describe someone they dislike. It's so incredibly lonely and makes me unwelcome in trans spaces when I see people talk like that. Idk. I just want a community

why the fuck was he kinda cooking with that bumpersticker

I went to an exhibition on the history of migration and colonial rhetoric in Australia and it really helped me to pinpoint my exact issue with the way non-Australians (and. tbh. some aussies) talk about this country

this map is a piece of propaganda from 1921. honestly what shocked me about it was how little of Australia is marked out as “uninhabited”. I have seen maps shared around on this website that basically mark out the entirety of non-coastal Australia as “empty”. fucking colonialists from 1921 were more generous than some of you

the history of colonial Australia is a history of “taming the untameable land”. this has been reinforced through narratives that this country is:

this rhetoric survives in both the way Australia is imagined by non-Australians and in the self-image of Australia. the (white) aussie battler conquers the unconquerable. the outback is imagined as a post-apocalyptic hellscape. our fauna is categorised as uniquely hellish and unwieldy. so when non-Australians make joke after joke about how scared they are of this place. well you can imagine why it fills me with the kind of rage that can only be generated by the understanding that You Are Reinforcing Colonialism

@isuggestlandback any thoughts?

I have a suggestion

Do not, under any circumstances, whether I know you or not, send me asks looking for donations.

Myself among many others are in no position to help you. Please DNI. I don't care about your story, I hold sympathy for you, but I cannot answer these asks for both my physical and mental health. I ask that you respect this boundary.
