Land of Nightmares and Resolve

how do you stick to a creative endeavour for more than 3 days at a time

lifelong depression has absolutely fried my brain everyone tells me "just do the thing you want to do and enjoy doing in order to improve at it" and i look at them like they're a fucking alien with unnatural powers

i tell them "you could not possibly understand how many times I've tried and failed to do that" then they look at me like I'm the alien. i guess i am the alien. living should not feel like such a burden to me

"mtf" and "amab" voted worst acronyms of all time

we don't need "leftist" ways of calling trans women male actually

you can say trans woman. you can just say trans woman

people will criticize tme/tma calling it "the new gender binary" and then go around calling people amab and afab as if they just ran a find and replace in their vocabulary for "male" and "female"

"AMAB" i mean so what. i was jaundiced at birth too but nobody seems to want to assign social significance to that. they should though. they should assert that i will always have a jaundiced soul no matter how much urine i process. and mock me for my weak faggot kidneys #myweakfaggotkidneys

I thought you threw a Playstation 2 controller into the sea

would be fun if language acquisition echoed language evolution a la recapitulation theory. kids going through an indo european phase.

fuuuuuck there really is an xkcd for everything

Posting on Tumblr is lots of fun until you accidentally post a shibboleth and then your notes are full of people all hooting and chanting "The shibboleth! The shibboleth! I recognize the shibboleth!"

This isn't about homestuck but it also isn't *not* about homestuck

i do wish the response to the ai water usage concern debate (umm actually the water and mineral usage is roughly equivalent to all of our other constantly growing massive distributed information systems that require enormous amounts of resource extraction etc etc etc) was less of a "haha checkmate luddites" and more of a "hmm maybe we should reevaluate our usage of constantly growing massive distributed information systems that require enormous amounts of resource extraction" but idk

This is probably a point thats been made before but it bugs me when people act like the manticore is a suicide bomb mech because like. random guy in a cheap everest clone might not know about the angry water, or the fucked up horse, or why their mech is walking out of the airlock, but Everyone knows about the manticore. everyone knows that if you kill me, I'm taking you with me. Everyone knows 8d6 burst 2. and I'm standing right next to you. Which means you and your little friends have a Vested interest in keeping me alive. Castigate isn't a weapon, its a promise, and a suggestion that maybe you should shoot the saladin.
