No DNI but here’s a reminder of stuff I won’t debate:

  • Obviously racism, sexism, ableism, cissexism, homophobia, transphobia, antisemitism, islamophobia, antitheism, and fascism is bad
  • Transphobia includes telling people they aren’t trans enough or they aren’t being trans in ‘the right way’, not respecting pronouns, etc.
  • Slur discourse is pushed by TERFs with intent to limit the acronym to LGBT, which would make it a lot easier for them to convince people to “drop the T”. TERFs really want us to define ourselves by same-sex attraction, rather than our opposition to cisheteronormativity.
  • ‘Queer’ has been reclaimed and is as much a slur as ‘gay’ is. If you wouldn’t treat gay like an unmentionable slur, you shouldn’t treat queer like one.
  • Aces/aros belong in the LGBTQ+ community.
  • “Mspec lesbian” is a valid identity. The only way for you to disagree is if you’re nbphobic.
  • Pan/omni/poly/multisexual labels aren’t biphobic. The distinctions matter to the people experiencing them
  • It’s not enough to not be racist, you need to be anti-racist
  • You need to join a labor union. I am practically begging you to join a labor union,
  • Sex workers need support. Stuff like FOSTA-SESTA hurts sex workers.
  • TERFS and SWERFS are actively harming both trans and cis women
  • Sex positivity must include kink positivity. Your kinks don’t make you a bad person. Hurting others makes you a bad person.
  • Defending freedom of speech and artistic freedom also means defending speech and art you don’t like. The law is a blunt weapon and if we allow it to ban art and speech we deem bad, that will harm us too in the long run
  • Being banned from twitter because you were racist isn’t infringing on your rights.
  • Death penalty is never appropriate, regardless of the crime. You absolutely cannot trust the state to dish out corporal punishment.
  • Prison abolition is necessary
  • Abortion should always be an option, regardless of the reason.
  • Health care is good, gun control is good, taxing the rich is good. Dunno why this is a debate.
  • No religion is inherently good or bad. Yes, that includes all the Abrahamic religions.
  • Being other/fiction/whatever-kin isn’t something you do, it’s something you are. If you knowingly misuse ‘kin terminology, I probably won’t like you.
  • Endogenic systems are real
  • Vulture Culture is cool
  • Regulated hunting is good. That includes subsistence hunting, of course, but also most forms of trophy and big game hunting. Regulated hunting leads to healthy populations.
  • Killing plants and animals is neither an inherently good or bad action, and as long as you can justify why you did it, that’s fine. ‘Food’ is a justifiable reason. Doesn’t matter if the animals are harvested for meat or are crop harvest casualties, they die regardless, and that’s okay.
  • Private zoos can be just as good as public zoos wrt animal welfare.
  • Exotic pet ownership should ideally be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. One person might be able to give an alligator the perfect life. Another might not even be able to care for a stick bug. These are real life examples I’ve personally seen.

Please don’t send confrontational, provocative, or mean anon messages, I won’t respond. If you wanna stir up drama, do it off anon.

I block people who have annoying personalities.

Today I:

  • Went to the store first thing in the morning because I’d run out of hay :’)
  • Took my meds
  • Spent most of the day cleaning up my window sill and giving some much-needed TLC to the plants

  • Made plans to see a friend on Monday
  • Bought groceries
  • Watched the Craig of the Creek: Heart of the Forest finale. It couldn’t quite live up to almost 4 seasons of hype, but it was really good for what it was! It even managed to touch on some of my own anxieties and inner turmoil, which is pretty big for a cartoon for 8-year-olds :)

the way tumblr is trying to distance itself from being a blogging platform is fucking. infuriating!!

like do you not know this is your strength!!! I want to be able to visit other people’s pages that have been CUSTOM MADE for their purpose!!! ARTISTS HAVE LINKS AND TAGS FOR THEIR ART!!!  COMMUNITIES AND HELP/TUTORIAL BLOGS HAVE TAGS FOR SPECIFIC QUIERIES!!! WRITERS CAN LINK ME TO THEIR STORIES!!! IT HELPS BOTH THE POSTERS AND THE CONSUMERS TO MODERATE THE EXPERIENCE TO THEIR LIKING!!!!

SENDING PEOPLE TO THAT UNSLIGHTLY “BOARD” OF A “BLOG” THAT APPEARS NOW WHEN YOU CLICK THE NAME OF THE BLOG INSTEAD OF SENDING YOU TO THE ACTUAL BLOG IS SUCH A DUMBASS MOVE? IT DOESNT EVEN ALLOW LINKS!!! I CANT DO SHIT ON THERE!!! I CANT FIND WHAT IM THERE FOR!!!! IT MAKES ME NOT WANT TO USE IT!!!!

TUMBLR IS/USED TO BE THE MOST FLEXIBLE AND THAT WAS ITS BIGGEST MERIT!!! YOU HAVE ONE OF THE BEST TAGGING SYSTEMS AND YOU WONT LET ME USE IT TO ITS FULL POTENTIAL!!! 

YOU CAN FOSTER COMMUNITIES, YOU LET PEOPLE KEEP MULTIPLE SIDE BLOGS WITHOUT HAVING TO SIGN IN WITH A DIFFERENT EMAIL, YOU ALLOW VIDEOS AND AUDIO AND +4 PHOTOS PER POST!!!! TWITTER CANT HAVE THAT!! TIKTOK CANT HAVE THAT!! REDDIT CANT HAVE THAT!!! FACEBOOK CANT HAVE THAT!!!

IM SO SICK OF THIS TWITTERIFICATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So turns out…..you guys are not gonna believe this…….but it turns out. Reading real books. Is good for you actually.

Let me be completely clear - I’m not being a sarcastic ass. I’m just realizing all over again, in real time, for myself, that reading a real life published book makes your neurons feel like they’re getting a spa day. Like I can feel my brain getting juicer and wrinklier with every page I turn. This shit is no joke, this is like hard drugs if hard drugs were good for you and made your brain feel revived and alive.
