"you don't owe anybody anything" has done irreparable damage to the minds of the youth

this ordeal of living is collaborative. we owe each other as much as we're able to give. come take ibuprofen with me.

"okay but..." "this only applies to..." "but what about..."

we owe all we're able to give. what are you able to give?

No, you know what? I just can’t with this one. I was going to pass it by, but I just can’t.

You “owe“ to others as much as you have willingly taken. I didn’t ask to be born. I never asked to be alive. And I’ve spent more time than not over the course of my existence wanting to die. I owe exactly jack and shit to the species that has caused me so much fucking pain over the course of my unwanted life, and the continuation of said life for the sake of those few close to me who simply refuse to let me go is what I am “able” to give, because if it wasn’t for their constant badgering and guilt-tripping, I wanted to be dead 15 years ago. You can miss me with that “you owe people” bullshit.

agree fully with your response. like what the hell is wrong with people that being born means you owe people things. we were born into abuse! the world is fucked up and our body and brain are fucked up and for just existing we are supposed to owe people things? if we didn't have a phobia of death and a weak will we wouldn't be here but that's not an option. and existing for others would make us even more miserable. we don't even give a shit about having friends or relationships so what's the point! there's plenty of other people willing to do stuff for others, let us just slink off into a corner and not deal with this fucked up place.

do we know why their scales are like that?

Great question! Yes, we do know why - bush vipers are highly arboreal, meaning they spend most of their lives in the branches of trees and bushes, and their heavily keeled scales help them climb. The heavy keeling also adds an element of camouflage - it helps their scales to blend in with leaves.

Some deep dark part of my brain that never forgot the first night vale episode: 👀🕐🚌🌧🌧🕐🕐🚌🌧

this is my friend Jay’s song and he has had a really rough time of it lately and whatnot so if you feel like checking out his latest stuff on Bandcamp or whatever, he started releasing stuff as Satellite High again 

I feel like more people should know that the iconic “The Bus Is Late” is from an album of songs entirely about the bus, and he has multiple albums about sharks. Just seems, you know. Relevant to many people’s interests.

to everyone still pirating from sketchy sites named shit like freemovie12369virusfucknow dot com dot net dot au dot lol :

DOWNLOAD SOULSEEK

(*or nicotine. same server different client.)

everything you could ever want, someone on there has. it's p2p. there's no ads. there's a very effective honor system so you'll never have to worry about downloading anything that isn't what you thought it was.

it is home to a large community of datahoarders and lossless audio fans and cinephiles who host some really high quality movies/tv/music. none of that 140p covered by a filter captions with ads shit. this is the real shit. this is quality. it is refined piracy, piracy for those with enough self respect not to bother with torrents and seeding. soulseek is piracy for the mature professional

look at this. ALL of this is courtesy of soulseek. spotify is down? oh that's a shame i didn't even notice. i've already got every song ever made right here on my home media server.

piracy is always morally correct but it makes you COOLER than everyone else to do it correctly. you deserve 1080p movie downloads where you can see all of their pores. download soulseek do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it please

Tbh there is an overabundance of media about a nonhuman creature's deep desire and journey to become human, and so very few of the opposite

Many of those movies/shows are very good and I like them but the whole time I'm feeling like it's tragic in a way. The thought of a creature giving up its otherness to assimilate into humanity is really fuckin sad to me. Or a human getting the chance to be something else freaking out and rejecting it.

Just makes me feel all the more alienated, y'know. Like "damn why don't I relate to this allegedly universal enthusiasm for being human" and "why is the desire to be anything else always wrong"

this is the closest we've related to another's description of nonhumanity, we also consider it a direct symtopm from cptsd

Every now and then I see a post that reminds me that most non-kin have an idea of the otherkin community that's defined more by people who made fun of us than by our community itself

If you heard about otherkin through general tumblr osmosis but never made an effort to actually understand us, your mental image of otherkin is mostly likely informed by people who pretended to be otherkin to start drama with the express intent to get people to hate us. It was really common a while back for anti-kin to create blogs posing as otherkin and post absurd, ridiculous, and inflammatory things like "I'm plantkin and keeping houseplants is slavery" or "I'm dragonkin and I ate my mom's jewelry". If you actually knew anything about the community it was fairly easy to figure out that these blogs were trolls, but most of the people on tumblr at the time either didn't know enough to be able to tell, or didn't even consider that they might be fake

And the most upsetting part? It fucking worked. So many people still seem to think that those posts were genuine reflections of what being otherkin means and how we act or talk about our kin identities

If you want to learn what otherkin are like, outside of hatred and mockery, if you wanna see how rich an vibrant our community is, and how varied our experiences are, here's some further reading:

Hey Tumblr! Looking for books with Aro/Ace (no relationship) leads that are written for adults!

Preferably genre. I don't mind the YA, but that's all I can really find suggested. And not Loveless by Alice Oseman.
