most unfortunate

even if jk rowling wasn’t a bigoted jackass i think i would not associate with harry potter just because of how over-the-top embarrassing the fandom is

THAT MEANS WRONGO'S GOT THEM. THIS ISN'T GOOD

Love the bot summoning incantation

Our county has been hit with so many disasters this summer I'm starting to suspect it's populated solely by AO3 authors.

see when people try and nitpick me because i call my dog "my dog" when it's technically "the family dog".......well first of all i still call my brother "my brother" and not "the family boy". although maybe that should change. second of all sorry i'm still thinking about the family boy. btw i fell asleep while making this post last night and i think you can tell

And on yesterday’s topic of personal grooming, at the risk of sounding like a looksmaxxer, you really do feel better when you feel like you look better. Putting the slightest bit of effort into your appearance can do wonders for your mental health. There is a reason every single culture on earth has grooming and styling standards and cultural forms of personal adornment and (often) bodily modification. I’m autistic and chronically ill and depressed and it is something I’ve experienced first hand. Not having the strength or desire to put effort into my appearance is demoralizing and then I’ll get dressed and style my hair and put on jewelry and a little glam rock makeup and realize it does make me feel better. These are things in my control, my appearance, things that I can change and tweak to make me feel better about myself even when the changes run counter to societal expectations and trends. There are a lot of men who feel like they are ugly (or have a sense of toxic masculinity that makes them feel like they shouldn’t groom themselves because it is somehow only for women) who would feel better if they just got a haircut and a new shirt. Not only is practicing basic hygiene when going out in public and dressing appropriately for events common courtesy but it does make you feel better about yourself. Get that haircut, get that tattoo, get that piercing, wear something weird.

To all of our brave service members trapped on the USS Lincoln right now, from the bottom of my heart I would like to say LOL.

“Navy sailors are killing themselves because they’re trapped on a busted ass raggedy ship with no soap and bad food.” And not because they’re tools of American imperialism fighting a monstrously cruel nothingburger war? Okay.

It is crazy to see politicians and random public figures come out and be like “Yeah, destroying Iranian infrastructure and bombing children is whatever but you can’t treat our brave little soldiers like this!”

Soldiers and veterans are likely more a victim of the USA military industrial complex than you are.

Well yeah, I didn’t roll over and lick boots, waiting to be stepped on. Victims can be perpetrators, these two things can coexist. Military recruiters can prey on low-income areas and our government can send mass amounts of young people to go die for oil and then treat them like shit when they return broken. That doesn’t erase the fact these people signed up to be tools of American imperialism, that doesn’t erase the fact they’re killing people overseas simply for their own financial gain. They are in a situation they put themselves in and they are complaining about the negative consequences that being at war and killing people is having on their brains and bodies.

btw if youre young and scared of doing adult things without your parents ive learned that like 90% of the time you can just tell the doctors office or the dmv "haha sorry ive never done this without help before... can you show me how to do this?" the employee will not care. if that means anything to you

literally walked up to a desk in the courthouse, said "is this where I register a car or is it the next one?" and she said it was the next one. and the lady at the next desk helped me. it feels embarrassing but I promise you can just ask
