Is it part of aro culture to mistake anxiety for attraction? This is an honest question btw cause I get anxious and I feel the whole tightening in my chest thing and sort of fluttery feeling (I think it’s my body getting ready to run or freeze once things get bad) but like so many people describe romantic attraction that way that I just realized that that’s my anxiety because they feel the fucking same

rewatching the inuyasha series as an adult is so funny because. kagome higurashi does not get nearly enough credit for how strong-willed she was at the tender age of 18. she gave up her life in the modern era, easy access to good medical care, food, running water, electricity, and pretty much every other comfort that she'd known and been accustomed to all her life, and did it cheerfully. meanwhile if the roles were reversed and you stuck inuyasha in a modern office job, trying to send (1) polite email would have killed him on the spot.

“Art is happening everywhere all of the time” but an awful lot of it seems to only ever happen in New York and London, doesn’t it?
hello instagram artist. your challenge is to do a portrait study of a woman but you’re not allowed to stylize them so their eyes are really big and more cat eyed than the reference photo. You’re also not allowed to make their noses more of a button nose or their lips full and pouty or their faces heart shaped with no double chin. Also you have to draw a fat woman. one thats actually fat and not just slightly curvier than the kpop demon hunters body type. good luck
never not thinking abt this
fun fact - I took this screenshot back in 2018 so it's not that, the guy's name is Ross Draws and he's sucked for a lot longer than that
thank youuuuuu I’ve been seeing a lot of people lately confidently claim art is ai when it was very clearly drawn by a person.
yes, all the changes to the reference were intentional and deliberate and I think that’s important context here

I like the way the manga, despite its genre of comedy, and the somewhat ridiculous things in the plot, shows Iruma's development and his transition from a traumatized worrier to a mentally healthy person. I like how the manga shows that sometimes, in order to grow and understand trauma, it is necessary to eliminate the toxic environment in which you grew up. I like how Iruma is gradually undergoing rehabilitation and learning to be selfish. In principle, I like the way manga, using a variety of metaphors and seemingly ridiculous situations, not only reveals the characters, but also teaches them something along with the viewer.
irritating as fuck when people get mad at Black people existing in premodern historical fiction/fantasy media. like first of all, you're racist. and second of all, you are acting as though Black people didn't exist in premodern Europe which is simply false. especially when we're talking about the Mediterranean, like what the fuck do you people think is along the southern half of the Mediterranean Ocean?? everyone's on boats, there are GOING to be interactions with Black people in Northern Africa, and there are GOING to be Black people in Mediterranean Europe. stop being stupid. your imagined homogeneous white European past is not historical reality, get over it you massive losers
Metahuman with super healing powers whose entire job is that once a week they go to a nearby hospital and are put into a medically induced coma for 24 hours while all their organs and blood are harvested, and kept there until they've healed up again.
They get paid a small stipend by the Heroes Council for this, and they live off that.
No crime fighting, no obvious heroics, and they only took a Super Identity because it's technically hero's council policy. Nobody's ever seen them in a cape.
Every so often the Heroes council will release an official report to the public, and there'll be another bunch of news articles wondering how some unknown super calling themselves 'Meat Factory' somehow consistently holds the record for most lives saved across the city.
It is essential to my vision that they are not at all sanctimonious about this.
Like, they regularly act like they're getting away with something. They joke about how they get to earn money in their sleep. They show up to their hospital visits in deliberately ridiculous disguises, on the excuse that they need to 'protect their identity'.
Part of their employment contract is that they get served the same post-operation vanilla ice cream that they normally hand out on the childrens' ward. Also a sticker. Their overnight bag is covered in stickers.
Okay, Meat Factory is awesome and hilarious, but if they're being harvested for and regenerating absolutely everything, may I suggest an alternative super name: Theseus.
There are a lot of people who start creative projects with no business or financial plan, because "who cares, it isn't important, we'll figure that out later". And you can't let yourself become that person. Not because I'm a sneering finance bro who thinks your woke animated youtube series wont make money, but because if you don't you'll wind up financially exploiting your friends for years
Look, it's none of my business if you wanna work yourself to the bone for no money so you can make your dream project a reality. I think you shouldn't, but also let's be real that's basically a rite of passage for young creatives. But as soon as you start involving other people? You need a plan. You need to be able to compensate them for their time, and you need to have it in writing
head in my hands, as someone who does extensive freelance TTRPG work - an industry in which the vast majority of those involved are doing it as a passion project/side hustle, and in which many people are friends with those they work for and with:
if you are doing any creative project with someone else in which money will be involved, make a contract. Doesn't need to be super formal. Get something laid out in writing that very clearly indicates what the person you are asking to do something is responsible for, the timeline in which they're expected to complete it, and the compensation they'll get for doing so.
"oh but we've been best friends since eighth grade" make a fucking contract.
"oh but this probably won't make much money anyway" make a fucking contract.
"oh but I don't know all that legalese" there are tons of pretty accessible templates available online if you research, just make sure it's one that suits your needs and you understand what's in it (it can be written in normal language without legalese, as long as it's clear), and make a fucking contract.
I've heard horror stories about this shit destroying projects, friendships, livelihoods, and in most cases the fallout could have been avoided (or at least mitigated) by having a clear legally binding document about everyone's responsibilities and compensation from the get-go. Do not assign someone work without a contract or some form of written agreement; do not work without a contract or some form of written agreement. please for the love of god.
it does feel especially evil when people use the relatively small population percentages of indigenous people as a way to dismiss our knowledge and ways of life because like. hey you know the reason our populations are so small right? you heard what happened to us did you not? you’ve considered the genocide?
and it's ESPECIALLY frustrating when institutions use this as a reason to not include us in policywork and decision making! like oh, less than X% of our users/patrons/clients/students are indigenous, so there isn't enough to "create a demand." they don't even hear themselves. you know why there's fewer of us, right?
you only count us so you know when you've finally finished killing every last one.
oh explicitly yeah, which is in and of itself a continued act of genocide and I’m not exaggerating even a little bit, it happens on governmental levels and if we are written out of policy and decision making then our needs won’t be met and we will continue to suffer and die

the stuffed animal situation is phenomenal these days. you can find any specific arthropod or deep sea fish or microbe etc. used to be back in olden times all you could get was bears and mutants
Chants of “f–k AI” filled Hamilton’s city council chambers ahead of a raucous planning meeting Thursday morning as dozens of people packed the public gallery and over a hundred waited in the halls outside.
Outside, hundreds of people gathered before and during the meeting, chanting “Hands off Bayfront” and “You can’t replace us.”
The local planning tribunal is set to make a decision on whether development company Slate Asset Management could split a roughly 324-hectare lot it owns into two parts.
In Slate’s planning application, it notes one possible use on the smaller plot of land would be “hyperscale and enterprise data centres.”
The possible construction of a data centre has galvanized community opposition. City staff said the 1,688 people that submitted comments on the land-severance application was possibly a record.
Albertan here. I applied for aish years ago and completely qualified but because I am in a romantic relationship, and my partner has a decent job, the income I would receive was/is zero. We just barely get by with his income.

the "rip ___ you would have loved ___" meme is inherently more fun with ancient characters. rip clytemnestra you would have loved morse code. rip theseus you would have loved the airtag. rip callisto you would have loved wearing shorts.
rip Icarus you would have loved parachutes
You can replace [ACTIVITY YOU ENJOY] with [SCROLLING] but watch out. This sucks bad 👍
Some things about this post since getting quite a few notes:
1. If you see this post, highly recommend taking it as an opportunity to set a timer for 15 minutes and switch over to ACTIVITY YOU ENJOY. if after those 15 minutes, you want to go back to scrolling, that's okay!
2. Huge shout out to this popping up in my notifs often, bc I do go back to activity.
3. I think there are times where scrolling is fine. Right now, for example, I'm being connected to a machine for two hours to donate plasma and platelets. Yes this is a brag but it is also a time where scrolling is one of the few things I can do. (Though I will probably also read or watch something on phone lol)
hmmm, this seems to be some kind of curse breaking spell… be free ye reader

Every layer I read into the FIFA vs NJT situation is another level of frustration
Started off just laughing at the frogger jokes about European fans trying to walk from NYC to MetLife but like
What do you MEAN the train tickets jumped from $12.90 to $150?
What do you MEAN they locked off the entire parking lot so nobody can drive and park there?
What do you MEAN the American Dream Mall, the only building in the area, is charging $200 per parking space?
What do you MEAN the contract stipulated the NJT would provide free transportation but that FIFA wouldn't have to subsidize those at all?
What do you MEAN the 2018 NJ governor who negotiated that deal was warned about that contract fail and went through with it anyway? (allegedly in pursuit of a job with FIFA?)
What do you MEAN the current governor is hiking public transportation costs in a desperate bid to not force her own taxpayers to subsidize a sporting event they had no choice in hosting?
I know a lot of cities were forced to host when they didn't want to (e.g. the Foxborough, MA lawsuit) because such sporting events cost WAY more to host than they bring in with tourism, but goddamn. What a shitshow
I'm seeing a lot of people say that Qatar and Russia offered free transit to visiting fans but I think having an oil-backed sovereign wealth fund is a huge plus over a country where the federal government is generally doing its level best to screw over public transportation AND blue states like NJ in particular.
I'm. Just
What the hell
oh my god i almost forgot to tell you all about how, while my dad was visiting, i had an infestation of every single kind of bug in my house that hasn't been a problem before or since. like i'm not kidding i evicted so many creeping crawlies that week and couldn't for the life of me stop mosquitos from stealing my blood, but as soon as he left they vanished. and i mean, sure, there's a perfectly rational explanation, because two people make more mess than one and he has a habit of leaving the windows wide open enough to fly a jet engine through day and night, but i can't help but think how symbolically on the nose it was. the ancestral rot at the heart of my family so gothic it's got ants and flies buzzing around its decaying corpse.
hey so update but i haven't been harassed by a single freaky little beast since my dad left even after leaving some crumbs on the floor as an experiment to see if they attracted any ants so i think my dad might just be bugs actually
@entities-of-posts textbook corruption example lol
Seconded
