transitioning isnt enough i need to bond with a symbiote. i need to be a weird shapeshifting goo monster. i need look all pretty and then make my face split open reveling sharp teeth that by all logic should not fit in my skull. and the big long prehensile tongue.. ough

why is making friends so brutal I just wanna mean something to someone

oh you're in a horror film/book and your phone died/has no bars? how boring. I think phones in horror SHOULD work. they should ding only to have the protagonist check and find nothing. they should get calls from somebody you don't know but is still somehow in your contacts. google maps should lead you to one place, no matter what address you type in.

phones are such a big part of our daily lives, removing them from horror removes the horror from our experience. what if the horror felt like it could happen to you, right here, right now? what if it felt like it was already happening?

(said while gritting my teeth and gripping the sink so hard it cracks) We’ve gotten through this before and we’ll do it again it’s not over until it’s over there is so much in the world to care about and cherish and we are going to protect it we are going to make our voice heard we are going to make it we are going to make it we are going to make it we are going to make it we are g

I'm certain this is on Tumblr somewhere, but I haven't seen it around, so I'm sharing it myself

i need everyone to know that community is what will save us all in every single way imaginable. you forming a bond with your neighbour or coworker might help them move house or feel less alone or have the courage to leave an unhealthy living environment. you helping a stranger might provide them with hope. in turn, being able to lean on your community in times of need will save you. your broader bonds with your community are the revolution we need. our society seeks to divide and separate us in so many ways but we are all so much more united in our struggles and joys than you are made to believe. we need to hold onto each other very tightly.

do any MMOs with player housing have to deal with player-run HOAs

Ok new game. What's the thing you're a fan of that you're the most pretentious about. NOT the most pretentious thing you're a fan of, I mean the thing that makes *you* act like one of those "oh yeah? Name five of their albums" people. There is a difference

[sherbertdab]

yeah okay the substance made me feel sick to my stomach but does anybody else who watched this movie feel like it had a profound affect on your self image or self worth? like i genuinely feel less scared of looking old and/or undesirable after watching this. like we should not be fucking doing this to ourselves and our own lives are worth it !!!!!!!!

sue did such a good job building that bathroom closet that i think she missed her true calling as a general contractor

[sherbertdab]

the substance is absolutely fucking bonkers grisly gorgeous horrifying and disgusting it's cured my body dysmorphia and it's given me 7 new disorders it's me on my period it's me in my dreams it's me alone in the shower it's me chewing 5 gum it's my ego it's my mother it's my future it's my worst enemy it's EVERYTHING

There's a lot I could say about The Subtance as an unflinching, gruesome close-up portrait of systemic misogyny, internalized sexism, self-hatred, and the brutality of fame, but more importantly, you know what I bet? I bet there is exactly one customer of The Subtance who is doing everything right. Week one, makes a living as a fitness influencer; week two, enjoys a lavish retirement funded by her other self's earnings. Week one, jogging, yoga, filming tiktoks, enjoying the vitality of youth; week two, Alaskan cruises, mahjong with the girls, enjoying unlimited free time and liberation from the crushing weight of the societal expectation to care what other people think of you. Keeps her other self on a nice air mattress with a quilt and always cooks a big recovery breakfast to be waiting for her when she switches. Walks out of that creepy alley every week whistling. Has no idea potential complications even exist. Every other user is living a psychedelic horror show of trauma, goop, and rage, and she's just at Barnes and Noble picking up the latest selection for book club. I know I'm alone in this, but I would happily watch that sequel.
