let’s talk about creating labels, hypernyms, and hyponyms
latest on medium is about language, and how normal, common practices in language suddenly, for some strange reason, don’t apply when they’re utilized by pansexual, polysexual, omnisexual, and otherwise non-bisexual mspec people.
a little excerpt:
how many people have you seen writing think pieces on how there are too many different types of and names for colors or kitchen utensils or pasta or chairs or sweaters or flowers or literally anything else? outside of queer “discourse,” how often do you see people get angry at others for utilizing language that exists for them to use because it’s supposedly too specific or redundant? queer terminology exists and is, if not created, chosen by queer people. that is the group of people it exists to serve. if you wouldn’t get angry at a chef for specifically saying paring knife “instead of just knife” or a hairdresser for saying ash or honey “instead of just blonde,” then it doesn’t make sense for you to take issue with a queer person saying pansexual or polysexual “instead of just bisexual.” the next time you find yourself thinking about the volume of terminology queer people have at their fingertips, don’t question its necessity or denigrate it because it isn’t useful to you personally, celebrate that other queer people might not have to walk around with a label that feels like a pair of shoes one size too small or a sweater that won’t stop itching because it’s just not quite right.
i hope y’all enjoy this article! 💖💛💙
#pansexual#polysexual#omnisexual#mspec#pan pride#pan positivity#text#mine#medium#while i hope people read my medium articles...i just have a lot of fun making them and it's just such a great outlet

does anyone else feel like (especially in the us) people have become significantly more aggressive and reckless when they drive?
#t#i can think of a couple reasons that this is happening#i know that there's higher rates of duis issued in the summer but it feels like more than just that#i think about this stuff bc it's a very big field of interest for me and i don't currently have a great outlet to talk about it#car accident#implied by my tags. lmk if i should use something more specific

Okay but my favorite GIR moments are ALWAYS the ones that imply he's just aware enough of what's going on to know that the thing he's doing will fuck up Zim's day, and he still does it anyway, possibly specifically for that purpose.
#invader zim#gir#iz posting#natterings#most times its not even malicious#or not like SPECIFICALLY malicious beyond gir being a gremlin who enjoys chaos in general#i think a lot of the time he just wants to secure zims attention and making him mad is the easiest way to do it#(+ i mean zim kind of models this strategy all the time so can he really be surprised girs learned it—)#or sometimes the terrible thing will eventually end up leading into accomplishing something useful#and its easy to say this is just fools luck and totally inadvertent on girs part#but there are rare moments that suggest he mightve a little bit done the thing on purpose and im obsessed with that#that one comics issue where he impersonates dib torments zim for days on end and then wheedles zim into praising him for it#lives rent free in my mind#BUT ANYWAY I ALSO THINK THAT MAYBE SOMETIMES IT COULD BE A LITTLE MALICIOUS#given that gir in his natural state isnt really CAPABLE of resentment or anger or even dislike#and the one time he was able to feel those things he turned on zim in less than 24 hrs#in a way that was clearly very personally motivated (note to self write meta about gir goes crazy and stuff i have so much shit to say)#which suggests to me those emotions probably are there festering on some inaccessible level and yknow#imo a little healthy sadism is a GREAT outlet for that#zim absolutely deserves it

Is it valid of me to keep drawing sky coyl but i dont actually play the game i just like to draw bc of the whole dress up thing
sky just is honestly unreasonable with its pricing nowadays which disappoints me bc its just no longer playable when ur struggling financially + irl bc of the whole grind we have to do
#sky cotl#sky children of the light#like i do like sky but its just so boring to me when i uber or get uber-ed#i just wanna draw man and sky is a rlly great outlet for it#but yeah i just find it iffy to support tgc rn when the game's biggest thing - its wardrobe - is slowly becoming just iap galore#as someone who wanted to stay in sky it was rlly hard to just... leave it bc it was so hostile with its items#esp the tickets dont get me started on them#anyw yeah i like the art community of sky cotl but im def havong a harder time to find ppl to talk to bc i dont actually play the game anym#looking for ppl the same as me hopefully ue#cae rant#sky crit#sky neg#tgc critical

Dread be dreading
#ughg#i usually have awful thoughts randomly popping up here or there#make me pretty anxious for a few days then i won't think about them for a while#but man i can't handle doubts suddenly resurfacing#like this monday i was listening to my last lecture and everything bad i cooked up a in the past few months hit me like a truck#couldn't even focus i was too busy internally chanting shit fuck i don't want this i made a huge mistake shit shit#i won't be able to handle all this responsibility i'm so tired this will butcher my mental health should have chosen media studies fuuuck#what was i thinking what am i gonna do help#then proceeded to distract myself with an electric outlet otherwise i might have started crying#:/#and those thoughts aren't wrong unfortunately#i love this university and the classes and the things i study#the teachers and my classmates and the kids i got to take care of#but i don't think i could do this for real#i'm not even struggling with anything i'm just scared and tired as hell#and thought i could just. power through it- like if i'm stubborn enough it won't matter that it's draining#but damn#and hell originally i came here because i wanted to teach english to kids#i guess my expectations were too high i don't feel like i've learned anything that useful this far#and turns out it won't get better#we just gonna do presentations again#to be fair i loved researching nursery rhymes but i hoped we would have... more. of that#also about media studies. chief... i crave to be there#could have picked the english specialization there too- i'm a moron. a bozo. holy shit#well. gonna go through this semester either way. because again everything i study here (almost everything) is genuinely great and useful#and perhaps i'm just in a Pit right now#the dread pit#should probably break this to my sister. somehow#random squeak

secret life smp is perfect for a tma au and i can not fucking talk about it bc none of my friends have both watched secret life and lisened to tma. i am the only overlap. im in agony.
#secret life smp#life series#the magnus archives#listen bc i am insane and need an outlet. just using ONLY secret life u have a GREAT FUCKING PLOT#im a BIG subcriber to the idea of alternate interpretations of the fears BUT#im gonna list them all out using smirkes 14 just bc this is a quick post IN UNIVERSE IN THE AU THEY DO NOT USE THESE EXACT INTERPRETATIONS#roomies; grain - stranger. cleo - desolation. etho - dark#heart foundation; skizz - beholding. tango - lonley. bigb - spiral#gem and the scotts; gem - corruption. scott - vast. impulse - slaughter#mounders; pearl - stranger. mumbo - spiral. bdubs - hunt. joel - lonely#big dogs; martyn - beholding. jimmy - web#ect; lizzie - end. scar - desolation#i might write another post w how in universe they r if i ever care

after 19k live viewers watching that stream there better be more tango/etho fan content 😂
they have no right being such a rarepair
#hermitshipping#hermitcraft#tango tek#ethoslab#tangotek#tangtho#decked out 2#tango can mock everyone in chat being etho fans but he is the number one in love with that man#the way he just has so much adoration and respect for him#etho does something mildly great and tango can't stop himself going stupid silly raving about him#and etho was the 1 person whose reaction he wanted most. who he took a screenshot of#and yet loves to rip into him as well#and etho! etho's so comfy around tango!#he always laughs just because of him. you hear him smiling because of him. he teases him freely too#and always ready to give praise to tango! with this. with DO1. with the nether hub...#and an outlet for his curiosity too#(and not to mention the way etho looks out for tango in the life series)#also. you want married couple vibes? the way when etho broke the sign instead of editing it and tango was like#'what you think this is 2012? you can tell he's old school 🙄😁' and then immediately is like 'you need white dye? sure 🥰🏃♂️'#like that's his boy! he will tease him and at the drop of a hat be wanting to get him anything he needs#and just. the way over the seasons you see them go from 'we should be friends' to 'we're really really friends' is so special#and like if etho honestly thought about who his top 3 besties on the server are I'm p sure tango would be one of them#they're toothachingly blushingly duo of all time#no right to be so underrepresented!#they love being w each other!!!#they're so fun <3 they have fun together

#sorry i need to get it out of my system#i'm just frustrated#this show is just TEASING that line of fantastic; tickling it without ever crossing it#almost impeccable vibes of horror and visuals. some fun fights. decent-ish characters and moments. interesting enough mystery.#but the individual parts don't make for a great whole#and it becomes soooo bogged down by shonen tropes™ particularly later#i'm tearing my hair out#it's stuff like this that makes things feel even worse and more disappointing because it had potential#maybe it gets better later and i eventually watch it idk#my poor husband listening to me rant about this thing for the lasf few days. sorry 😔 i have no outlets for my reviews#salty rambles

hello tumblr user stormcool please give a random character fact from memories of dead places (i'm so normal about that story trust :3)
hello tumblr user procrastinova i have seen how normal you are about this story firsthand so ues i shall give you a ramdom character fact
Jess's hair is blue because she got dragged to a work party she was very uncomfortable at, got really drunk, had a reall good cry, broke several things and then got her hair dyed. in that order.
she thought it looked ok so she decided she might as well keep it blue. because it was a thing that was nice and she didnt have many of those
#memories of dead places#jess elliot#fun fact : wandering around in the backrooms with the umbrella quad is the happiest shes been in a long time.#she just feel less empty. yk?#and shes finally getting a really good outlet for all her anger#like its not all great. but somehow this is better#. . . witch says more about her life before the backrooms than it does about the backrooms#answers caught in the broken branches of a tree#a supernova of falling leaves [nova tag]

music is so good guys like i don't think you understand how amazing this shit is
#like ???? someone made that. someone wrote that and then played the instruments and then someone maybe even sang it.#they put their time into it. their effort. most times their entire soul and their emotions like do you get it???#and then YOU get to listen to it. you get to listen to that artist's soul for just a bit. and you get to feel your own soul kind of#get ripped out of your own body and just really Feel.#do you get it do i make sense because holy shit#music is great. art is great. fuck man we're so lucky to just be able to Have that outlet.#vex rambles
