Lemmings don’t jump off of cliffs unless they’re being chased. Frogs don’t stay in boiling water unless they’ve been lobotomized first. Crabs don’t pull each other back into the bucket unless they are desperately and randomly grabbing for anything to try to get themselves out, out of fear for their lives.

Actions taken in specific, negative conditions don’t exemplify the nature of all beings.

Before you mock a sheep for staying with the flock, ask what dogs nip at its heels when it strays too far, and what wolves wait just beyond the edge of the pasture.

Tempted to think of this merely as another stage of "What Fresh Hell Is This."

Marlene Dietrich is detained at a train station in Paris in 1933 for violating the ban on women wearing trousers.

her eyes were the sickly green of the sky before a tornado, and to his horror he discovered she could throw cows around just as easily

she’s so small she can’t smell anything bc smell molecules are too big to fit into her nose. she can’t see bc light is too big to get into her eye. she can’t hear sound is too big for her little tiny ears. when she was born her mom didn’t even notice. she went to an ant carnival and she was not tall enough to ride any rides. and yet she is so brave. being held like a fresh honeycrisp apple

Listen to meeeee go befriend transfems speak to them like a person welcome them into your space and lives and maybe you'll stop acting like clowns. Stop treating transfems like some abstract concept like they're unicorns like they're a "gotcha!" in arguments. You act like they're a convenience or a commodity rather than siblings in your community whatever

It’s sad that toxic game culture is so prevalent cuz like. As someone who has ended up in random matches with kids before, I can attest to how fucking easy it is to reverse and un-teach shitty attitudes in kids.

Example: I downloaded Friday the 13th because it’s free on psn. I dunno how to play, so I just enter quick play and I’m matched with 3-4 kids on mic. Immediately on mic they’re shitty and disparaging to each other. They laugh at each others deaths, they actively work against team mates and self sabotage, they call each other “fags”, etc. From the sounds of the voices they cannot be older than 13-14.

I put on my mic and just decide I ain’t havin it. I am nice. I thank them for barricading doors or leaving me items. When they break free from Jason’s grasp I say “good job!” or I try to help them. One kid survived for most of the match by himself. When he dies, I tell him he did a fantastic job.

The mood shift is practically INSTANT. These kids almost immediately stop being dick heads. They start encouraging each other and being kind. After the match all of them try to friend request me. Which should tell you a couple of things:

A) kids want to be kind, and they want to have a nice time playing games. But encounters with adults like me or so rare that they’ve trained themselves to instantly put on a toxic, shitty, defensive veneer when encountering any new person online. It’s literally just THAT EASY to not groom a horrible gaming community, it’s just that NO ONE does it.

B) the speed of which they all tried to friend me was cute, but paints for me such a sad picture? Like these kids are SO desperate to find people to play with who aren’t crappy jerks. They played with me for 10 minutes TOPS and all instantly tried to reach out to me.

tl;dr: The kids are alright. Adults are shit heads.

just learned that magnolias are so old that they’re pollinated by beetles because they existed before bees
