WHERE ARE MY CHILDREN?!

Oh please, with how many furries are in advanced fields, the only surprise is that this didn’t happen sooner. In fact, I’d be shocked if the demographic of people who were in space before Cameron Bess doesn’t include more furries who just keep it under their hats.

mayhaps i should clarify i love a furry in pop culture moment just maybe not some venture capitalist’s pansexual son joining jeff bezos’s pet project literally days after 6 amazon workers died during a factory roof collapse in a tornado bc they weren’t allowed to leave & weren’t prepared or equipped to handle it

My dad told me that he has a coworker who’s a trans woman. She was married to this girl before her transition and they remained together after it. Everyone at work respects her pronouns. My dad is in a chiefing position at his office and he told me that nobody jokes behind her back. She and her wife have two cute dogs together and I felt like I should share this story bc I want everyone to know that this positivity and respect exists and you deserve it. Don’t ever dare think that you don’t because you do.

Update: they have three dogs now

There is a non-binary person I work with who uses they/them pronouns. Their pronouns are in their email signature and the only time I’ve heard someone not use them was one person who had previously worked with them at a time they used different pronouns, and he immediately corrected himself mid-sentence, looked embarrassed, and proceeded. I’ve never heard him or anyone else not use their pronouns again, and my workplace runs the gamut from eighty-year-olds to twenty-year-olds. No one ever discusses their pronouns or anything about their identity behind their back unless it’s to choose a bar or restaurant to hang out (in non-pandemic times) and say “no, we can’t go there, that place doesn’t have a gender neutral restroom for them”. They have been married to a delightful person for ten years and (in non-pandemic times) she would often join for social activities. They have a toddler who is the cutest thing on this earth. They’re an absolutely brilliant engineer and I have learned a great deal from them as they’re much more experienced than I am, and I appreciate how patient they’ve been when I’ve made mistakes. Again, positivity and respect exists and you deserve it every bit as much as these people. Don’t ever forget it.

WORKING CLASS SOLIDARITY

My dad told me recently that the most important public health workers are garbage collectors and janitors. So much of our health relies on a clean environment. These people do some of the most important work in society. If we learned in dirty public environments full of garbage, we’d all be sick. I cannot thank these people enough for the valuable work that they do.

Shout out to all garbage collectors, janitors and housekeepers!

Thanks sanitation workers, we love you folks.

ppl w nonbinary genders are not all just “between” male and female. gender isn’t a male/female zero-sum game pls stop

this took me a while to unlearn, until someone basically said “look, colors are a spectrum. if you assign pink to women and blue to men, that doesn’t make every other color a variation of purple” 

^potentially helpful way to conceptualize this

snake pareidolia is one of the strongest things in human minds too! people report freezing mid-stride before being consciously aware of a snake in front of them, and the same happens with coiled rope, etc. in humans and other primates. it’s even been proposed that the need to detect snakes was a factor in the development of primates’ insanely good color eyesight

It’s because snakes are wonderful and we must stop and admire them at any cost

What if Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton divorced? I think he’d get a bumper sticker that says “I’m without her.”

let’s get this to 12k like I told my friend it would when he said it sucked. He’s right that it sucks, but let’s show him there’s still a space on tumblr for posts with 12k notes that fucking suck.

This is gonna be such an Obscure Question but I gotta know. What's everyone's Minecraft moral alignment. Do you steal? Do you start wars? Do you exploit other server members for manual labor? How morally justified are you in the block game
