i'll eat the prince

Fun fact! He would often do his escapes while naked except for a loincloth

Having experienced a lot of it in my 20s, I think some of the worst, pettiest, most straight up this-is-just-bullying-you're-passing-off-as-praxis incidences of Queer Infighting endemic to young people can be best understood as attempts to exercise power by people with very little power.

I'm reminded of this post from 2017. To paraphrase, OP took part in community service via their university and part of that was cleaning the bathrooms at the local homeless community centre, which would frequently get trashed, not because the homeless people using them disrespected the work of the people cleaning them but because they had so little control over other things that happened in their lives, and the bathroom was something they could affect.

You've been turned into a mythical creature, spin the wheel to see which one!

Phoenix and AUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH.

i have gotten increasingly suspicious of art posts that just have an artist’s name and no other identifying info. i routinely image search those and used to be if it seemed to fit with the artist’s style and subject matter i’d say good enough and assume the image was from a fleeting website or a scan. i don’t feel like i can do that anymore. if i can’t find the exact image on a reputable site i don’t like it don’t reblog it. it doesn’t help that google has kneecapped their own reverse image search, which for all the issues with regular search was still the best image search engine. now it spits AI summaries at me and the exact matches tab shows me nothing. even if there ARE exact matches. i can SEE them.
