All We Are, Is Stars

Yamask -- Ken Sugimori

first day as a small-town sherif and you discover that some of the convicts you're transporting managed to escape in the night and since the penalty for letting prisoners escape is death, and the penalty for being late because you were looking for escaped prisoners is also death, you decide to free ALL of them and go hide out in the wilderness for a bit, except the convicts are super grateful so they make you their leader and it turns out they're decent guys who were exploited by a tyrannical government, so long story short you're crowd-sourcing for a peasant uprising and would anyone like to chip in?

3650th day and due to a series of unforeseen events you are now the emperor and founder of the han dynasty.

wait a second I just need to Google something...

Blue crane (Grus paradisea)

Common mistake, but blue cranes lack the distinctive Adidas stripes easily observable on this birds feet.

STOP CALLING HIM A LIZARD. HE'S A BEAUTIFUL IBERIAN NEWT.

Why can’t real life cities be 10 mile tall gothic metropolises with red and black and skulls and statues of weeping saints everywhere

'dating rules' are so fucking stupid btw. "don't talk too much about your hyperfixation on a first date, it'll scare them off!!" it'll only scare them off if they're a coward. Someone worthy of my affections will listen to me talk about my goal of visiting every whale exhibit with a life-sized effigy of a whale in it in the world for a solid half-hour and come away from that experience desiring me carnally.

One time I went on a date with a guy who stared at me with raised eyebrows while I told him about my plan to go to ComicCon as Daphne Blake, and then he scoffed and said it was weird for me to be so into Scooby Doo at the age of 19. Last year I told my boyfriend (before he was my boyfriend) that next time I got ComicCon tickets I wanted to go as Rapunzel, and he gasped and said "NO WAY I WANTED TO GO AS FLYNN RIDER". So, like, not only is talking about your hyperfixations on an early date a good way to learn quickly if someone is going to treat your whole personality with respect or not, you might also find a kindred spirit.

This doesn't just apply to dating btw. Any platonic acquaintance who acts like you're cringe for having a lot of enthusiasm about something is not someone you want in your life. The people who matter will do things that you want to do with you because they love you and like when you are happy. Case in point I could not have paid my high school official-best-friend to spend four and a half hours in London's Natural History Museum taking photos in the whale gallery but my adulthood best friend agreed in a heartbeat despite knowing the bare minimum about whales.

So yeah. Be openly enthusiastic about the things you love and the right people will love you for it.

Hey, in the most respectful and platonic way possible? I desired you carnally off the first post alone, and that gave me seconds of you.

If someone does not love and respect both your proper and your freak? They were not meant for you.

No more 'being on our best behaviour' for first dates. Let them see your gremlin. Perceive their gremlin. Fall in ooky, whacky, gremlin love.

MWAH kissing you in a nineteenth-century-author-writing-a-letter-to-a-close-friend-that's-now-heavily-debated-as-evidence-of-their-queerness-by-historians kinda way <3

YOU GET IT

just saw a post that accused someone of using generative ai to write an essay because 'no one uses — instead of commas or semicolons' and i've never been more offended in my life

i'm not as offended as i was when i read the ai thing, but i Am offended

EM DASHES AND SEMICOLONS ARE THE ONLY THING KEEPING YOUR STREAM-OF-CONSCIOUSNESS SLOP FROM BEING ENTIRELY COMPOSED OF RUN-ON SENTENCES, AND THAT'S WHY YOU'RE FAILING YOUR ENGLISH CLASSES.

I recently watched a video about AI posts on reddit who pointed out that the em-dash rule is extremely useful on reddit because their text editor doesn't have an easy or automatic way to make em-dashes, so if you come across posts with em-dashes on reddit then either somebody very knowledgeable about the text editor put in the effort to insert them properly, the post was copy-pasted from another location (like maybe they typed it out in Word first), or it's AI. So this is a good indicator of AI in certain places like reddit.

Perhaps this is my inner editor showing, but. Doesn't everyone just use the keyboard alt codes? alt+0150 for en dash and alt+0151 for em dash? No?

No, most people use the double dash and let the word processor combine it into one character. Using the alt codes will get you an em dash on reddit but so few people use them that they're a decent indicator of probable AI when combined with other AI-isms.

Im gonna be so real can yall actually talk about ways we can support trans women in the UK instead of giving all the attention to fucking JKR. I already know that Harry Poter sucks, I wanna know how to actually HELP people. Something something you have to love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor

trans actual uk - trans led and run advocacy, education and empowerment organisation

fiveforfive - collective fund for trans women and girls and transfem causes

gendered intelligence - trans led advocacy org

mermaids - supports trans youth

akt - lgbtq youth homelessness charity

loving me - domestic abuse service for trans people in england
