I wanna change this but idk what to

I feel like a description of this phenomenon could be used very effectively to make an organism on an alien planet feel eerie and uncanny, and yet it happens routinely right here on earth.

even more awe inspiring: this phenomenon is an emergent property of each individual bird in the swarm following a few very simple rules, like "stay so close to these other birds around me."

i think about this post like. once a week. and i mean that.

sex isn't real it's something they made up as a hypothetical so we could do kink discourse. it's kind of like the trolley from the trolley problem. it's just a thought experiment

as much as i poke fun at “tumblr prose,” i will acknowledge that sometimes when you’re writing and you’re really in the groove, you’re really feeling yourself, you’re on your capital-a Author shit, and you write a line that makes you go, “oh yeah, this is the Good Shit. this is so Subtle and Says So Much. this is Characterization. this is Themes and Motifs. you could write a whole essay about this one line. the master of the craft strikes again!” and then a month or whatever later when you’re editing you read over it again with post-write clarity and you realize you wrote some real “people die when they’re killed” bullshit

every now n then i think about how native americans as human beings just dont exist in like 99% of mainstream media. in movies or tv shows or books or video games or you know even in porn like we just arent people. when theres a native character theyre like a wild west indian. like truly to ppl we all died back in the 1900s.

listen. if your mutual suddenly starts referring to The Character with different pronouns, you must go along with it. that character is trans now. they’re right.
