Well, well, well, will you look at that? It’s Pride again.

You know the drill by now. It’s June 1, and suddenly everything from banks to big box stores has slapped a rainbow on their logo. Rainbow capitalism knows how to target LGBTQIA+ customers. For exactly 30 days of the year. How quaint.

Of course, it’s nice to make things bright, and colorful, and pretty. But it’s meaningless if that’s all it is.

Pride should be about uplifting and celebrating you, the community. And it should be year-round, not just 8.22% of the year. So, we’re signal-boosting your posts that celebrate, support, and honor all genders and sexualities over here. Follow to keep your dashboard lovely and gay as hell all year round.

And, yes, we’re also making a bit of a fuss right here on @celebrate (apparently, we just can’t help ourselves). So if you’re interested in talking about what Pride means to you or want to celebrate Pride but don’t know how to go about it this year, we made a fun little 30-day Share Your Pride Challenge list. Because you do, in fact, deserve to be celebrated.

Tag your posts with #ShareYourPride if you want to make them a little easier for other people to find. And Tumblr? Happy Pride. We’re glad you’re here.

The REGALIA, the beauty, the pride. Yes little sisters!

Not Deer Phenomenon

Humanity has many "powers"—yet again, I fail to bring myself to explain the quotation marks. As the humans would say, figure that shit out yourself—, and to me their uneasiness is one of the most fascinating.

Maybe it's a result of their Paranoia, but humans just know when something isn't what it looks like. They can absolutely be deceived, of course, and the ability to detect deceit varies greatly from human to human. But when something doesn't look, doesn't sound, doesn't taste, doesn't feel right, then you can count on it not being right.

"Something wrong is not right" they joke

Deathworlders instincts, most likely. Many have explained to me they just feel it "in their guts". They have also explained to me about the "uncanny valley", and how they're wired to recognize not-humans, which usually tend to be corpses or people who have lost their minds to diseases like rabies.

But that "power" goes well beyond recognizing "not-humans". They call that the "not deer phenomenon", and bring forth many tales—as they do, yet another "power"—of such.

"It'll look like a deer, sound like a deer and act like a deer. But then you keep looking, you keep listening, you keep watching, and..." they always pause here to make sure I'm following "... Well, something is not right. It's going to be something minimal at first, something you only notice when you're really looking"

"and then?" I ask, no matter how many times I've heard some variation of the exact same words

"When you see one thing, suddenly you're seeing all. What starts with you noticing that the legs are a bit too tin, ends with your hair standing up and your heart speeding up because you can see it now"

"The not deer"

"The not deer"

"And do you know what it is?" I ask, knowing the answer

"Nope. No idea. Could be a shapeshifter, could be a skin walker, or an illusion. Whatever it is, what's left to do is to leave without looking back and pray it didn't notice you saw."

Needless to say, many shifters have complained about being found out by humans.
