An Eclectic Medly of Interests

all i want for 2026 is that gigantic rancid AI bubble to finally burst in such a catastrophic way that the consequences will be so good and i'll never have to see another AI generated image ever again

Like to charge, reblog to cast.

Trans Alear headcanons are obviously valid and also just a really fucking obvious choice to make if you had half a neuron to use while playing this game, but they always tickle me a bit because like. The amnesia means Alear forgot this too, right?

Boylear asks Lumera why those patches of skin on his arm and leg are different from the rest of his body in texture color and feel and the little pendulum in Lumera's head goddamn races back and forth between giving a clear explanation of the workings of phalloplastic gender affirming surgery plus what that means for him OR boldfacedly lying through her teeth about how they're a consequence of the time he heroically rescued a litter of Firenean puppies from a burning animal shelter.

I bring a real “human lives are more important than animals. Yes, even than your doggo” vibe to the function that the people airlifting dogs out of warzones really don’t enjoy

#and no your typey purebred dachshund was not going to be EATEN in Korea you got scammed and you need to be less racist

I feel like a lot of people get "All Art is Political" confused with "All Art is made with Political Intentions" which is not the same.

“but what if you abort the baby who’ll cure cancer?!” sir the baby who will cure cancer is an organic chemistry major who works at a Home Depot because you use AI to go through your resumes

i think one of the worst things the left wing internet ever did was push the idea that oppression is basically a virtue, and being oppressed is a sign of your morality. it has made it like…impossible for some of you to hold the idea that most people are privileged in some ways and oppressed in others. AND a lot of you seem to have it in your mind that terrible people cannot be oppressed, and that oppressed people cannot do terrible things, which is a dangerous rhetoric to hold imo.

every day it just concerns me how little compassion people have. no compassion for those living in the global south. no compassion for immigrants. no compassion for disabled ppl. no compassion for addicts. no compassion for prisoners. no compassion for children. like holy shit ...

I wish all Black girls a clear shot at this world. I wish all Black girls a full belly. I wish all Black girls a respite from their many troubles. I wish all Black girls nothing but grace, prosperity, and ease. Black girls I am hoping for your continued safety and success every single day.

it never sits well with me when people associate beauty with morality like i remember when i was in my early 20s and my friends would compliment each other like “that’s what happens when you’re not racist—you get a banging body” or “you can tell she’s homophobic because of her ugly mug” like it’s never felt right to me. beauty as a reward or a virtue feels so bizarre to me. ugliness as a punishment feels so bizarre to me. it all feels like 19th century phrenology and physiognomy

The book you all need to read is Ugliness, by Moshtari Hilal, who writes about this exact thing and the origins of beauty as morality, and how it originated (as OP already says!) in racist discourse about physiognomy.
