Clever title

i need to do a little craft with my hands

like it's tricky because there are a lot of cases where forming your politics as a post-hoc justification for your kneejerk reaction will have you saying reactionary things (e.g. disgust in reaction to something sexually non-normative -> "we need to punish these people socially and legally," fear in reaction to seeing a mentally ill person in public -> "we have to expand psychiatric power to keep these people out of the public," etc.) because you Have received a large amount of conservative messaging in your life & your "common sense" & inner narrative are going to reflect that. so you shouldn't do that. but "reactionary" is a word with a defined meaning which describes a desire to regress or "return" to a conservative, largely fictionalized, "simpler" past against social progress. and i understand this sounds like pedantry to a lot of people but when you daily see self identified leftists scolding, for instance, family abolitionists for being "reactionary" because their politics are a "reaction" to child abuse (and in that process reifying the family as a natural and unquestionable structure, which is an Actual reactionary political position) it's like. well kind of maddening!

Why is so much adult oriented 2d animation bastard ugly, do they know they don’t have to do that? The characters don’t have to projectile vomit all the time either, but maybe that’s asking too much

For my fellow Europeans south of us who are currently suffering from extreme heat. Stay safe!

hello, average tumblr user. your challenge is to name a canonically lesbian female character in the tags of this post. if you name a male character for any reason, you will be shot in the head. good luck.

I need my weird alone time or I will explode

i'm so disturbed by the idea that not everyone is delighted when they spot a hand drawn amongus crewmate out there in the world. i feel pure joy when i see it especially these days

i wonder if “greatest generation” americans got pissed about boomers not remembering pearl harbor

Something to keep in mind…. building muscle is so hard people compete to see who can do it best. If you’re a woman worried about “getting bulky”, i promise you that you cannot achieve that physique by accident. Now go lift weights to increase your bone density & protect yourself from osteoporosis and improve your insulin resistence and eat a fiber + protein dense meal with some carbs to refuel and fat for satiety + energy 🫵

trans women this goes double for you especially the part about eating 🫵 you are not immune to your bones becoming tapioca in your old age pick up the weights and the fork sister we’re all gonna build our new bodies if i have anything to say about it
