do y'all even know how much i hate being an "elder queer" at 40? a whole goddamn generation before me was wiped out by a plague that politicians deemed not their problem bc it was killing the "right" people. like. this was OPENLY STATED. i spent a large chunk of my childhood going to funerals. nevermind the fact that killing queer people for being queer wasn't codified into law as a hate crime until i was a junior in high school.
i should NOT be an elder queer, i should be middle at most. i am a middle aged queer. most of the elder queers died.
when i was growing up i didn't go to pride parades, i went to pride marches. because that's 100% what they were in the 80s and 90s.
from the absolute bottom of my heart, LEARN OUR FUCKING HISTORY. a generation was nearly wiped out so you young queers could be here. don't let that have been in vain, please.
I...tried to make a meme and got carried away and made A Thing that is like partially unfinished because i spent like 3 hours on it and then got tired.
I think this is mostly scientifically accurate but truth be told, there seems to be relatively little research on succession in regards to lawns specifically (as opposed to like, pastures). I am not exaggerating how bad they are for biodiversity though—recent research has referred to them as "ecological deserts."

North Carolina mentioned RAHH!! wtf if a bad state symbol????
Animals that should be pokemon
One of the big differences is that Miku and other vocaloids aren't trying to sound like something else. They are Miku (or whatever other vocaloid). In the same way that getting your icon's guitar pedal and playing a guitar doesn't mean you're stealing their identity or music unless you play their stuff and call it your own.
Why are people so lax about AI voices, it's honestly way scarier to me than AI art

I dunno why this character spoke to me sm but I really enjoyed drawing them <3
Have you considered that I'm a swamp creature and I love the soupy air huh???
We should make it illegal for it to be humid
In the 2000s, phones had quirks and class....
Pipeline punch is the correct answer I feel seen,,,

ILLI'S GRIPPERS ARE OUT GUYS

Does your therapist follow your blog?
imagine how good it must feel to press a gun to your temple after a bad day and just hold it there with your eyes closed for a few minutes before sighing and putting it away
It hit last night, the realization
The fact that this isn't some cruel joke
A nightmare I can wake up from
The Hitler salutes, stealing from his playbook
Being on the receiving end is our reality now
I'm terrified now, how could you not?
Last time a major country pulled this it ended in millions
Only a world war could stop them
Will it take that again?
They rip themselves apart, I tell myself
It's true on a long enough timeline
They either kill themselves or each other
But will I live that long?
I don't know
And that's the scariest part
Honestly? My main piece of advice for writing well-rounded characters is to make them a little bit lame. No real living person is 100% cool and suave 100% of the time. Everyone's a little awkward sometimes, or gets too excited about something goofy, or has a silly fear, or laughs about stupid things. Being a bit of a loser is an incurable part of the human condition. Utilize that in your writing.
No wonder Pete Hines resigned back in October; even he thought this was stupid.
Bethesda haters stay correct. Anyone who somehow still had hope for this franchise despite the last ten years, now you can finally let go.
