humans are the moms

compared to other species on earth, humans have a really outsized "protect baby" instinct. you give a human a thing and tell them it's actually a baby thing and many humans will suddenly develop a complete and total aversion to harming it, even if it's like, a writhing mass of slimy tentacles in no way reminiscent of human infants

cats domesticated us by figuring out that they could leave their kittens with us when they went out hunting and come back and probably still have the same number as before they left. there is a decent chance that wolves did the same thing

word gets around the less parenting-inclined species and they're just like, are you doing a long haul space voyage? going to have to lay some eggs in the course of the trip? take a few humans with you. yeah they'll just start training the young and keeping from them climbing into the machinery themselves you don't even have to find specialists. I know a guy who budded unexpectedly on a freight hauler halfway through a four year trip, and not only did the humans not eat his spawn, they set up this thing called "babysitting" where they'd take turns monitoring its survival and helping to teach it basic skills

It's like how a bunch of celebs were big on body positivity and fat liberation...until Ozempic dropped and it turns out no, none of them ever believed any of that! They just pretended to bcs up until now healthy, long term weight loss was impossible so they had no choice but to cope by learning to love themselves no matter how they looked...but now that it's here we can go back to the truth! Being fat is ugly and gross and unhealthy and you should starve yourself and take experimental meds right now so you can be skinny which is what ALL humans are clearly supposed to be!! Yeah that body positivity stuff was fun, but come on. We know you actually just wanna be skinny and think being fat is a fate worse than death.

That's what it feels like to me. Every single time. Honestly in a lot of other areas too, one of the big issues with the left is that they really do seem to think that Republicans are right about how things work and should work but we just pretend otherwise because it's the right thing to do and it reduces suffering. Which seems fine, but you cannot be an effective leftist like this. You do actually have to deconstruct your beliefs and biases and world systems, you can't go around like "well yeah we aren't gonna kill disabled people that's eugenics and it's wrong" when you clearly don't actually think it's wrong. You think eugenics would work but implementing it would be uncivilized, and it shows. You have to actually understand that racism and ableism and all other forms of bigotry are not just cruel, but entirely incorrect.

random purple design i pulled out of thin air like a magician idk if i like it but its fine

It happened in broad daylight. It was telegraphed ahead of time; TERFs were very clear they wanted trans men removed from public life entirely. Yet during the entire lead-up, and even since then, people have erased transmascs completely from the conversation, saying they weren't in danger like transfemmes are, and in fact alleging that transmascs enjoyed a measure of protection from TERFs, who allegedly just see them as confused little girls they want to protect.

And while people were busy being useful idiots and spreading TERF propaganda for them, while people were busy actively denying the threat to transmascs, TERFs made it so transmascs can be excluded from any public bathroom in the UK.

sculk lurks in dark caves, beneath the surface of the world. stars shine bright in the sky, high above the land. and so you wouldn't think they have very much in common.

but you would be mistaken. because stars shine in the darkness, and so does sculk, pulsing with shimmering light, the only thing visible in the deepest, most shadowed places of the world.

early adventurers often mistook sculk for stars, for this reason, and they considered it divine, and they told of 'little stars, shining in spite of the shadows.'

for stars are a spectacular sight, little specks of light sending their love from across the vastness of space. they have no thought of trivial things like distance or time.

and just like the stars in the night sky, the sculk is beautiful. it is shimmering teal against dark grey deepslate and glowing faintly against dull caves, an almost ethereal sight.

stars are otherworldly, divine things. they seem like small things, but really they are massive, beings of incomprehensible scale. and we don't call them living, but they are a neccessity for life. life needs stars' warmth and presence to survive, to create, to dream.

sculk is otherworldly, a living mass, roots stretching far through the ground. it pulses in a way that can only be described as alive and it surely thinks, in some way beyond human comprehension of thinking.

and do you think sculk dreams? i think that sculk dreams.

it dreams of sunlight and trees, of fire and water. it dreams of creation. and it dreams of destruction. it dreams it hunts, and is hunted.
