you might not think it’s hard to be a soc fan artist on tumblr, but let me tell you about the time I called someone out for drawing inej with light skin, so they blocked me and then wrote a long post about me that I couldn’t see, along with colour samples taken from my art as examples of how inej is “too dark” in them, and then they end the post with “I’m disappointed in you” 💀

Hey, who wants to drive out to Blue Ridge Drive, outside of Astoria.

I vaguely remember having lived here as a kid, and that it was trash. According to a 2024 street view, it looks like they've torn down my childhood single wide and replaced it with goats. Massive improvement.

The last time I went, maybe 20 years ago, there were still some singlewides - presumably abandoned, with chicken wire over the windows and boarded up doors.

[freackthejester]

Had a new neighbor that I have not exchanged words with yet start by asking me if I was going to the park tomorrow (because that is where our local Pride™ event is happening)

All i could say was "How could you tell?"

Everybody acknowledges fatherlessness as a huge problem in ghetto communities. Nobody acknowledges how many women prioritize their boyfriends over their children.

@gerrykecy

When Noel deposited Ashton in his room, he was fairly certain the worst of it was over. The party itself had been bad: Ben had showed up, of all people, and then Ashton got involved in some sort of game that resulted in him getting plastered. Then the cops showed up to break it up or whatever bullshit they got up to, and that was worse. They had to leave in a hurry, but since they'd gone right from the library, it was a very long walk home.

A long walk for Noah, who'd had a couple beers but was fine, but altogether too long for Ashton, who seemed like he could barely walk. He'd wrapped himself around Noah almost immediately, whining that he couldn't balance and still bitter over losing his game. And, like fucking always lately, the moment he'd draped his arm around Noah, that feeling began pulling inside Noah's chest, making him feel like he couldn't breathe. Not a convenient way to have to carry your roommate's drunken ass home, for sure.

But they'd made it home, and Noah deposited Ashton back in his room, and it was over. Or so Noah had thought, until he heard banging on the wall. "Noah," Ashton whined, loud enough that there was a chance he'd wake the neighbors. "Noah, c'mere."

There was no way this was going to end well, but neither would getting kicked out over noise complaints. So, reluctantly, Noah threw off his covers, took a moment to brace himself against the chill of the apartment, and trudged into Ashton's room. He found Ashton curled up in bed, still dressed, under a heap of blankets. Their landlord was a cheap-ass, and even though it couldn't be more than 50 inside, the heat was still off. Noah had been nestled very much the same way until someone had demanded his presence. "What now?" His tone held very little patience for Ashton, though the other man didn't seem to notice in the slightest.

"'m cold. C'mere."

"What?"

"I'm cold," Ashton repeated, articulating like maybe the problem was that Noah had misunderstood. "Come here and warm me up." Noah sighed like the entire world was against him, which kinda felt true in that moment, and wheeled around to return to his own bed and his own heap of blankets. It had to be after 3am. He was done. "I'm cold," Ashton repeated, stretching the last word like a child. "We'll be warmer if you stay."

This, unfortunately, was a fair point. Noah looked up, like he was asking for divine advice, weighing his options. If he went back to his room, his bed would be colder, because he'd be alone. And Ashton, drunk as shit, would keep whining. But if he stayed... His chest tightened again. Then again, if that was the worst of it, it was survivable. With another world-weary sigh, he turned back around and made his way to the bed. He peeled back the covers, and an invitingly warm spot appeared as Ashton scooted over.

"You're such a dick," Noah muttered as he settled into the spot. He and Ashton hadn't exactly been distant from one another but ever since he'd been having that feeling about him, Noah had been trying to keep a little bit of space between them.

Ashton, evidently, hadn't noticed and had no such qualms. He reached around, pulling Noah's back flush against him, pressing his face in between Noah's shoulder blades and letting out a contented sigh. "Thanks," he whispered back, before seemingly instantly falling asleep.

Noah froze. His heart was beating so hard now that he felt like it must be enough to wake him. And that feeling inside had seized up the rest of his organs into some ridiculous twist that was somewhere between nauseous and exhilarated. This was a mistake. A horrible mistake.

Moving in what he hoped was slow motion, Noah slid his arm onto Ashton's, hoping to pry it off. The moment he touched it, though, Ashton's tightened, pulling him somehow even closer to his chest, where he could feel Ashton's slow, steady heartbeat. Ashton snored, and Noah could feel it against his skin, through his shirt, like the weirdest and least effective back massager.

Eventually, even as his mind continued to race, Noah's breath fell in sync with Ashton's. His eyes drooped shut, and although his stomach never seemed to untie itself from knots, he did somehow drift into a strangely peaceful sleep. His last thought was that even if he might regret the hell out of this in the morning, it wasn't actually the worst way the night could end.

i also learned that being top ranked in your class does not make you very smart..a lot of these kids were either just so out of touch from things outside of academics, they grew up in honor roll and would look down at people who were in normal classes and i think having friends and classmates with those kinds senitments really harmed me when i started to be in normal classes, and some of the dumbest things ive ever heard have come from peers who were top ranked in our class

[leatherdyketerror]

legitimately hate how leftists in here are like wow the racism in america am i right? until you ask them about their opinions on romani people

[canichangemyblogname]

There are people out there telling people that the crux of South Africa’s case against Israel is the claim that Israel started bombing Gaza “out of the blue” and “without reason.” And I’m just sitting here like… “did you even watch their opening remarks?” The answer has to be no. Because I explicitly remember hearing South Africa acknowledge Oct. 7th. And I remember them saying that the scale of the violence and death and destruction is unacceptable as a response.

These people are also claiming that South Africa praised Hamas during their testimony and I just have no idea where they are getting this. Did someone tell you this and you’re just uncritically repeating it? Do you lack reading AND listening comprehension? Or is this a purposeful mischaracterization to spread misinformation? Because South Africa literally said that what Hamas did is unacceptable and that it constitutes war crimes, but they are not a state and not a party to the convention and thus they cannot bring case against them.
