me after I drink 17 coffees and start seeing the skull man
stopppppp im going to pass away just thinking abt this
When I got my first tattoo I told my rather beautiful tattoo artist that I refused to be a wuss and she said “Oh dont worry, if you squirm I will pin you down.”
And that lives in my head rent free.
“What is it with queer people and tattoos?”
Something something intricate rituals
watching gen z and millennials make fun of gen alpha has been torturous. "But they're actually stupid" 1. theyre middle schoolers 2. isn't that what older gens said about us? don't you remember being 11?
it truly is just "impulse reaction to cringe <- has not yet unlearned shame"
the cycle continues let me out of here
guys. guys I think we should kill cringe culture
My kids and their friends are Gen Alpha, and they are sweet, sweet kids living though appalling times.
They grew up with the most rigidly binary models of childhood that have existed in my lifetime (girl-glue, anyone?) and been viewed as their earning potential since before they could walk. They have been exploited and abandoned on the internet by their parents, have been exploited on the internet by the algorithm when they were too young to understand it. They are the first large generation of the children of Mommy bloggers, anti-vaxxers, trad wives, and quiverful types.
They’ve survived a pandemic, and had it cut through their schooling in a way that has been enormously traumatic. They have the smallest outdoor range of any generation to date. In their lifetime, climate change has become violently real, socioeconomic disparity has only increased, reactionary movements have increased, and rights that we’ve taken for granted have been rolled back. They are the generation of British trans kids taking their lives on the now-static youth GIC waiting lists. The American trans kids who are watching their very existence become illegal. They are the generation of creative kids whose arts and humanities funding has been cut to the bone. A generation who have grown up watching soft-lit, queer friendly cartoons, walking out in to a world of violent trans and homophobia.
They are depressed, anxious, afraid. Their aspirations are low, their hopes for the future fragile.
They are clever, and creative, and charming, and brave. And they are KIDS.
Be nice to them, they’re dealing with a lot.
hey girl is that a piece of chalk in your pants or is yuor penis just a rectangular prism that crumbles easily into a fine powder
sometimes you realize you have retained too much trivia about the media you love and you realize this because someone makes a joke post about wolverine going through airport security and laughingly speculating about how that goes
and you can only JUST barely stop yourself from informing them that actually in uncanny x-men (1963 run) #158 this very topic was covered, because wolverine is expected to pass through a metal detector as part of an infiltration mission where the x-men are undercover, and is able to produce his medic card from service with the canadian military/special services to attest that a "good chunk" of his skeleton is metal prosthetics from war wounds, and that this same excuse would more than likely be used for modern airports
and you stop this because you know! they are just making a joke! it's a joke! but you KNOW
having brain rot about your own TTRPG character is so embarrassing. yes i love her and i think about her all day and i’ll take any excuse to talk about her. no, there’s no book or anything for you to read. she’s my emotional support rogue. she’s my fidget toy. i wish you could meet her. i made her up inside my head.
