Not harass us for no other reason than us being weird.

Be willing to exchange beliefs and have calm discussions.

If you identify as robotkin, androidkin, etc, having to click “I am not a robot” on Google ’ captcha system must be heartbreaking.

But for fuck’s sake! We went through this a year ago! WE LITERALLY WENT THROUGH THIS A YEAR AGO! You know otherkin were around before the internet, and you know that beliefs relating to identifying as a non-human on a non-physical level (for example, oh, I don’t know, fucking reincarnation) have been around for literally fucking forever! Are you really just this fucking stupid, or are you actively trying to be an idiot?

And on top of all ridiculous things to say–I’m not “pretending” to think I matter. I, the person who is currently alive known as “who-is-page,” who has people in their life they care about deeply, who has aspirations and goals they are currently working towards, most definitely do think I matter. To me, I matter more than almost anyone else, and if you think I’m only “””pretending””” to think that I matter, then you’re a fucking nutjob! You’re off your damn rocker! Of course people fucking think that they matter, they’re not all nihilist fucks who’re off the deep end–I don’t know why that’s somehow surprising to you, but here, fun fact of the day! People don’t “pretend” that they matter, they genuinely do believe that, and this applies to everyone, both otherkin and non-kin! Wow! Amazing!

>critiques me for not getting it the first time

But–oh, what was it? What was it you said earlier, before you started whining about me apparently critiquing you?

“IF IT IS ON THE INTERNET YOU CAN MAKE FUN OF AND CRITIQUE IT”

do you see your logic’s just as bad as mine, if you’re gonna use that against me realize the concept of irony.

The Great Barrier Reef is not dead. About a third of the coral in it is dead, and it’s suffering a really bad case of a disease called coral bleaching (which is what caused the photos down below)- but it’s not dead and it has a chance to recover. Hell, you can even see it in the bottom right picture- the only coral that’s actually dead in it is the big dark twiggy bit. The rest of it is still alive- it’s just under stress and so it’s bleached. 

A lot of scientists are actually kind of pissed off about this message going viral, because it sends the message that there’s nothing we can do. It’s like sending out an obituary notice for your loved one that has cancer and is on life support. They’re still not dead. They can keep fighting; they can survive.
