Some is better than none. Some is better than none. Some is better than none. Walking for three minutes, is better than nothing. Drinking a glass of water and eating a snack, is better than nothing. Wiping down the counter, is better than nothing. Small things are not nothing. Small things are not nothing. Small things are not nothing. You don’t have to achieve grand things if all you’re capable of right now is the smaller things. They are still achievements. Don’t do nothing just because you don’t think you’re capable of doing bigger things, just do something you’re capable of today. 

i think the most beautiful thing about being a human is the capacity to change

I wish this feeling upon everyone who wants to wear a dress, its really the best

this makes me so happy as a fat hairy guy who likes skirts and dresses i never get to see guys like me in dresses it’s always skinny twinks this makes me so happy 🥺🥺

As an Indigenous person, it continues to astound me that there are such strict laws (written by White people) in our name, laws against...picking up things just found on the ground. Like, stop pretending this is "for" us. We don't want this.

so, for clarity, that's not what this is. the law against possessing feathers is an anti-poaching measure, derived from a North American treaty protecting certain migratory bird species from hunting. that treaty has an exemption for indigenous people to allow tribes that use eagle feathers in ceremonial or religious practices to continue doing so.

this is one of those "no actually this regulation exists for a reason" laws much like work place safety and building fire codes (that Republicans keep trying to roll back) and is written in blood just like them as well. it's just not human blood this time, and the fact that people actually cared enough about long term future over short term profit to get it put in place is nothing short of astonishing. That it didn't get put in place in time to save several species is heart breaking.

OK I am still on about this because I looked at the eeaao tag and like I thought hello fanart with the laundromat line but. but it's. argh I don't know how to explain but the line just. it's so strangely specific to the specific context of waymond and evelyn's relationship? or at least their type of relationship? and how. like evelyn is being drawn in by all these other worlds where she's "better off" if she hadn't left with waymond to go to america, where she doesn't have to worry about a failing business and a failing marriage and living "the worst possible version of her life" AND YET. AND YET. after hearing about that life this rich, ceo business waymond says that he would still choose to live the hard life because it's with her. like. you need a very specific character dynamic to use this line with to get the full intended effect it's not just some general doomed ship line you know???

i think people are starting to confuse class analysis with bioessentialism. like... no not all men do this, but Men as a constructed social class do do this. that's still okay to say. that is regular material analysis of the world around us.

big fan of the idea of the changling myth essentially being the fae doing bird-like nest parasitism on humans. the fae are simply too wily and free spirited to raise their own young so theyve evolved to mimic human young instead. its evolution babey.

the system relies on changeling children eventually being rejected by their human parents and fleeing into the wilds. unfortunately a lot of modern humans are WAY too ready to raise their weird unruly kid and write off their quirks as "neurodivergence" so consequently the fae parents are desperately standing on the outskirts of the village like "johnny please come back. youre destined to rejoin the fae. no stop playing with your nintendo. johnny please."

undiagnosed autistic people will be like "I don't get upset when my routine changes though!!" and it's because they've built a set of if-then loops in their head to pick from one of 6 different strict routines and they do get incredibly upset when they're unable to keep to any of the 6 scripts. I'm john normal

Was just thinking about this the other day. Yeah I have a favorite seat on the bus (middle of the bus, near the back doors, slightly elevated, facing forward), but I don’t get upset if someone is already sitting there, I just pick one of my other favorite spots. Then I realized that most people probably don’t have a favorite bus seat, let alone a series of backup favorites.

the most valueable skill a white leftist can ever learn is how to take an L with grace.

You gotta be able to take an L if your moral and ethical belief systems are to be capable of guiding you. Otherwise you just have an idealized self where you get really mad and scared when anyone points out it isn't actually you. How the fuck are you gonna walk the walk if you can't handle being told when you are not, in fact, actually walking it

you cannot just socially transition into being a good person you are going to have to settle for being a messy human being who has to try and fail and keep trying to get better like everyone else. yeah even when it's embarassing and sucks for you a lot.

Ya gotta learn to earnestly and honestly say "Oh shit, my bad."

And to then end the sentence there, not launch into a paragraph of explanation or panicked super-apology.
