I love you

For absolutely no reason

it just is

and it is deafening

these things

are timeless

and heartbreaking

and frighteningly powerful

perhaps it is just a reflection

but I choose it

and I accept

where we are

each of us every one

Sometimes we accept things

long after they have weathered

and changed

and turned a page

content to read the next chapter

searching for a happy ending

…and I know that it was my fault, I caused the problem, of course I bloody did, but I still dont want to forgive on it. I know I’m going to I know I’m blowing smoke when I say I’m leaving and it seems like I don’t have the option to anyways, I’m kinda stuck. I don’t want to though I want to leave. I want out I want out I want out. At least right now. Until I inevitably end up going back to normalcy.

You know it sucks when I can’t call myself the person who’s morally right here; regardless of how I feel about it all…

But I am going to, quietly at least, whisper to myself that I know who I am and I don’t want to be him I want to be me I want to be Fen I don’t know if I can do that here and I know I’m an ass in all the ways that matter but do you not understand why I don’t trust you why I can’t trust you we’ve been doing this dance for two years now but I’m running out of steps and the music’s still playing…

Me: I don't think I'd ever do anything like writing commissions... I feel like there'd be way too much pressure on me

*checks budget* YEESH

*googling 'how much to charge for tentacle smut'*

Its a difficult balance, allocating tasks. So much requires so much trust.

well someone clearly likes how I think about robopussy (with average girlrizz) you have any rants loaded?

-clears throat- I personally feel that robofucking goes hand in hand as the natural evolution of being attracted to things like armour and workwear. My main points being as follows: Workwear: Thick fabrics/leather, buckles, buttons, you can feel the body through it Next step: Armour Armour: Metal, leather, soft skin underneath, contrast in texture and temperature makes it more erotic (sensory deprivation too if you're into that cause metal or what have you stops you from feeling someone's body/touch completely Next step: Robots Robots: Cold metal against soft warm skin, softer bits in between metal chunks/plates, weighty bodies, warm electronics, hard metal underneath soft fabrics

anyway you're 100% right on your take and I'll reblog it another 30 times if I feel the need. I both wish I was a bulky robot with exhaust fans and a screen for a face and would let a chunky android raw me until I couldn't see straight. Thank you for listening to me, I write android smut in my free time. Cheers. Always be postin' robots.

A while back my pharmacist saw my deadname on my profile and accidentially called it out, he corrected and deleted my deadname from the system so only my preferred name shows up now. There was a crowd of people behind me, so as he hands over the pills he apologized, in equal tone and volume as when he called my deadname and lied saying it's been a long day and he didn't mean to call out -his own- name. I quietly told him it was fine and he didn't need to do that for my sake.

His response: "No, it's my name now."

I went to the pharmacist yesterday, his nametag is my deadname. He informed me he's immigrating and in the process he's changed his first name to my deadname to have an English sounding name. That's why he's now able to get a reprint of his nametag to be my deadname. And repeated, with the intense seriousness of someone who is going to die on this hill: "It's mine now. Not yours. I'm taking." His tone indicated that decision is final.

Bro literally deadnamed me once, and has committed to flat out stealing my deadname. It's his now. Legally. Officially. I over heard his co-workers call him by the name.

now that trump has tiktok, twitter, facebook and insta in his pocket, get ready for a massive wave of internet censorship. one of trump's greatest weapons has always been misinformation; it's going to become harder and harder to spread facts and criticism going forward. posts that aren't made invisible will be magically ignored by the algorithm. dissidents will have their accounts deleted and voices erased.

this is a suppression tactic. this is another stage of fascism.

slow down for your disabled friends. thats like a bare minimum kindness that we shouldnt have to ask for. i love that youre so quirky and walking fast is a cool personality trait to you and all that but i bet you can count your physically disabled friends on less than one hand

"can we normalize-" NO!!!!!! we do not need to expand whats considered normal!!! we need to teach people to stop reacting judgmentally when encountering something new and weird!!!! things dont need to be normal to be respected!!!!!!!!!!

On my first day in Germany I got to my hotel and I couldn't get the lights to turn on. And I was like "Eh, fuck it, I'll just take a shower in the dark." And then the shower wouldn't get hot. I waited and waited and it stayed ice cold.

So I go down to the front desk and I'm like "My lights won't turn on and my shower won't get hot" so they send this guy up with me. We get into the room and I flick the switch and nothing happens so I'm like "See?"

And he goes "You must put your card in the slot."

"I... what? I have to put my room card in the light switch?"

"Of course!"

Now I have been in many hotels in the US and never encountered this concept, but apparently it was something most of their guests already knew. So I'm looking like a fool at this point. I feel like an idiot. The dude is fully grinning at me. I put the card in the slot and voila, the light turns on.

Then he's like "Ok, let's see if the shower works. You know you must wait for the hot water?" and I just know he's thinking I'm an idiot who also can't use a shower. This stupid American can't wait for the hot water! She can't even use a light switch or a shower!

And I guess he was distracted by these thoughts of my stupidity, because this dude fully stepped into the shower. In his nice dress shirt and slacks. He just. Gets into the shower.

And turns it on.

Have you ever seen a playing field get leveled instantaneously

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.
