I think you can make the case that fascists, broadly, have a weird and dangerous obsession with the physical, physical beauty, physical strength, etc., without then saying that any concern for physical health is therefore fascist and to be anti-fascist you need to abandon any notion of physical health

I have some questions about karaoke night, Alex Hirsch. Very Important Questions. Which I will happily scream at a poor hapless baby triangle who can have no answers for me, and possibly also does not have object permanence yet.

Follow-up that is I guess suggestive, but let's be real here, Bill's a fucking triangle:

Dude slipped right into his birthday suit, lmao

this is so stupid :D

Anyway, I don't care what anyone says, this brilliant individual knows what's up - Bill is absolutely way more of a monsterfucker than Ford could or ever will be, full stop.

this disability pride month, stop making jokes about people in wheelchairs standing up or walking.

can I stand and walk? sure, for a short while and with pain. the consequences for trying to be out all day without a wheelchair are that I'll be in bed for the rest of the week, too tired and in too much pain to move.

but the government won't give me my own wheelchair because they have the same attitude as these jokes - I can stand up, so I don't need one. exercise is good for you, you should walk!

it keeps me trapped in the house, unable to do anything more than short stints anywhere without borrowing or hiring a wheelchair - one that causes me pain to sit in and relies on someone to push me (usually with difficulty), because they're not going to have a high-end chair for that sort of thing.

it's not a miracle that a wheelchair user can stand or walk. it's something we should aspire to see more often.

I've HAD IT with that FREAK ASS TRIANGLE and I want him out of my SIGHT.

[smhalltheurlsaretaken]

y'all need to get a grip. you blab all day about how much you hate bigots and hateful people and how evil it is to dehumanize anyone and then you turn around and say "kys" and "i think [x] should all just kill themselves" and other disgusting, violent and childish trash

so many people on here are just full of hatred and vitriol and turn into frenzied sharks anytime the target 'deserves it' and they think they can get away with it and not be called bad people. then they whine about how sad it is that we can't all just get along and if only all the evil people in the world would stop doing evil things wouldn't that be nicer

you're just as vicious, hypocritical and fanatically puritanical as the caricature you have made in your minds of the people you think you have nothing in common with. if you've ever told someone, ANYONE to kill themselves you're not advocates of justice, you're not artisans of peace, and you certainly don't have any moral high ground that would allow you to pass judgment on others

so my car just turned 20yo and i had a realization that the reason i'm so resistant to doing any upgrade is the fact that there are currently zero (0) touchscreens when i drive. every car function is controlled by a physical button or toggle or dial. it's the last place where i am fully screen free, and i appreciate it more and more as most of my life is consumed by time staring at visually busy screens. they'll have to pry my 2004 subaru out of my cold dead hands at this point lmao

watching long time mutuals fall head over ass into classic antisemitism and nazi bullshit is so deeply disappointing. yall need to do so much better.

hey all, the CDC identified a cluster of mpox cases in Chicago and UK authorities identified one in London. If you have >5 casual sex partners per year or have close (regularly sharing clothes or bedding) contact with someone who does, please take precautions. Vaccines are still available, launder bedding more frequently, check for rashes regularly on those you're close to, etc.

mpox has a very very low case fatality rate in western countries (0.16%). the vast majority of deaths are among already severely immunocompromised people (primarily uncontrolled HIV)—if you fall into that category, please be aware of the risks.

Most county health departments have some vaccine doses available. The CDC estimates that 1.2 million people are in the eligible population for mpox (casually sexually active or sex partners of those who are). You can review the criteria and search for a vaccine here. You can also review the CDC's mpox safety guide here which all seems pretty straightforward and common sense to me (the most urgent of which is "please for the love of god don't touch other people's rashes" and the funniest of which is "consider having sex with clothes on or masturbating at a distance")

stop reblogging posts that are bait for self deprecation, whether it's intentional by the op or not. (stuff like "BE HONEST are you pretty or not"/"would your fav actually like you IRL? tell the truth"/etc you get it hopefully.) i get when people do it to vent but you're not helping yourself or anyone who's following you who would be tempted to use said post to be mean and cruel to themselves in the tags or w/e. don't give anyone, including yourself, that kind of opportunity or avenue. i don't even get why people make these kind of posts. again, i get if it just blew up accidentally, but you're on The Blogging Site so be more mindful about what you post.

[avernusfuries]

Okay, so. I would appreciate it if folks would tag their posts on politics, please. It makes me incredibly anxious, and while I understand that this is a difficult time for people across the pond, it's starting to stress me out. I will unfollow for anything that is untagged as my RP space is somewhere where I come to get away from irl things. Escapism, adventure and whatnot. This is non-negotiable.

society if people stopped sending neil those dumbass asks

[allastoredeer]

Is it just me or people really more and more draw Lucifer as a complete uwu shy baby and Alastor as his big alpha man? Because the more days pass the more of it I see and I'm tired.

Dude I hear ya (¬_¬) It's literally my biggest pet peeve with the radioapple ship. I'm sorry but I cannot fathom Lucifer as a UwU shy baby. And Alastor a big alpha man? Please. If any of them were a big alpha man, it'd be Lucifer, let's be real.

You know, the thing is, I don't really mind Lucifer having shy little UwU moments or Alastor being all big, tough, and domineering - they've both had moments like that in the show. It's when their entire characters get boiled down to these specific tropes/characteristics that I want to start ripping my hair out.

At this point, I just scroll past content like that really fast, or I just block the creator - not out of resentment of malice toward them, I'm just a big believer in fans curating their own fandom experience. If I don't enjoy certain content, however innocent and harmless it is, I'm going to keep it from showing up in my feed. I'm here to have a good time, I'm not gonna spend it consuming stuff I don't enjoy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's how I got most of my Twitter feed full of bottom!Alastor now. I rarely come across top!Alastor anymore and it's been great. I'm having a fantastic time.

But yeah, totally agree with you, Anon. Not much we can do about it, but I feel your frustration. The best we can do is make the content we want to see (~˘▾˘)~

[dragongirltongue]

Look, I don't fucking care how on point their research is or whatever, I don't wanna see any corpo pride shit on my dashboard. I use ublock for a fucking reason and that reason is to not get advertised at. No we do not have to hand it to them for citing names and resources in their ads.

And yes even when you acknowledge that they are pandering to us it doesn't make passing their Branded message along any less of an ad.

Especially When It's a Fucking Booze Company!!!

I'm just upset right now so this is not very articulate, but some people in the Tolkien are so obsessed with defending the Feanorians and minimizing their mass murders it's actually absurd. Also it's really, really irritating when you can't go two days without running across a post desperate to turn them into soft people by explaining why "it's not that bad" and "guys actually I think only a few people died".

Or alternately not understand their oath or their grievance at all and try to explain why Luthien/the Valar own the Silmarils. And I'm not talking about headcanons (you are free to make yours), these are actual parts of the text someone picks up and extrapolates to the nth degree to suit what they say.

Like look, I get it. The Feanorians lost the sacred, almost divine items that their father made, and now those are in the hands of an actual evil god who will not give them up, and whom they cannot fight, and they are oath bound to recover it. I get that. But you know what? 'The other elves were inconsiderate of the importance of the Silmarils as heirlooms to the Feanorians', and 'the kinslaying is a massacre that can in no way be defended by the oath and the need to recover jewels' are two statements that can and should coexist. And one of those deeds is worse than the other.

There are several people and cultures across the world (including mine) that has had their cultural property stolen and looted by colonizers, and the idea that something is 'yours' if you won it from a thief, instead of belonging to the person who made or previously owned it is distinctly colonial in nature, but you know what these people in the real world didn't do?

They didn't commit mass murder. They didn't turn into thieves themselves.

And if these very real people with very real grievances could deal with that (and continue to deal with it), I don't see why anyone should try to justify the kinslayings, or make posts explaining why the Silmaril actually belonged to Luthien and her descendants/the Valar.

Should Luthien have considered returning the Silmaril to the Feanorians? As a woman, no; not after what Celegorm did. As a princess and heir to her father? Yes. Thingol, despite his grievances about the kinslaying at Alqualonde, should have acted as a king and considered the diplomatic way out of this. Except the Feanorians didn't try to take it from Luthien, and Thingol was behind Melian's girdle so it didn't work out. Should Dior have tried to act as king and not antagonise the Feanorians after the girdle was lost and his people decimated by dwarves? Absolutely. All of this is true.*

What is also true is this: the Feanorians should not have fallen upon unsuspecting elves at Alqualonde and taken their ships from them. They should not have attacked Doriath, which had barely recovered from a dwarven attack, and killed people. And they absolutely, never should have gone after Sirion. SIRION WAS A REFUGEE CAMP! AND THEN THEY KIDNAPPED THE TWINS.

THEY KIDNAPPED!!! THE TWINS!!! WHO HAVE NO MATERNAL FAMILY!!! BECAUSE THE FEANORIANS KILLED THEM!!!

No amount of found family fics will stop this from sounding like the political removal of princes/lordlings from their culture and background and their artificial integration into people who have killed their whole family.

And literally all those people the Feanorians were fighting after leaving Valinor could have been their allies against Morgoth. You know, the evil god-creature that has two of their Silmarils? The one that killed their grandfather and drove their father to madness?

Also the Valar. Oh gods, the Valar. They suck. The sheer irresponsibility and condescendence they display throughout this whole fiasco, starting from the destruction of the trees till the very end is astounding. I'm glad most of the fandom seems to ignore them because if I saw a post defending Manwe I would actually throw hands.

*Should Elwing have returned it? Well, here it gets murky: as the leader of a refugee camp in Earendil's absence, she should have probably opted for the path of least violence (which is surrendering the Silmarils), except the Feanorians had already killed her whole family and this was past the point of return. It also would have a very unsound decision to give back a jewel so contested when it meant so much to her people to the elves that ruined their lives and killed their kin, and then sent letters so stern it might as well have been demands disguised as friendship.
