Note: Despite the trigger warning above, please please if you find you have the strength to read this, then do. It’s important and not just for the people living in the states. This affects all of us.
Alright so I know i’ve disappeared for a while but I’ve come back to tell you guys something very, very important.
racism/ˈreɪsɪz(ə)m/
noun
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
This isn’t just a ‘oh yes racism that’s very bad’ kind of matter anymore. An innocent man was killed, not by accident, not in self-defence, and by the same people who apparently were supposed to be the good guys.
George Floyd was choked to death by a police officer.
He was choked to death by a police officer.
He had to beg to live.
Do you know how horrible that is? We talk about human rights to improve our lives, and this man had to beg for him to keep his own.
What makes it worse is that it didn’t work. He still died.
I don’t know how to tell you guys that we should care about other people.
Afterwards, there were protests. Of course there was. There had to be. Peaceful protests. Raising voices for justice, for a better change, for the right thing.
And do you know how the fucking police responded to these peaceful protests? Peaceful protests asking for better lives?
Do you know how the same people responded to violent, gun-wielding protestors asking for a fucking haircut?
If I told you one was responded with violence, and one was responded with peace, which one do you think would be which?
Would you be surprised to find out which ones really happened?
Would you be angry?
Wouldn’t you be angry? Shouldn’t you be?
These people have been fighting for years and years. They shouldn’t have to fight alone.
They didn’t stop with George Floyd. He wasn’t the first, and already he wasn’t the last.
Please, for the sake of all that is good in this world. Do not let this stand.
There are multiple websites in which you can help support the movement against this hellish system. It doesn’t take too long for you to type a few words in, for you to read more, to find more, to see that this has gone on for far too long.

Little Nightmares 2 Spoilers
Okay so I’ve seen takes where it’s like “Six is a traitor. She dropped Mono and Mono grew up with the hate and it twisted him to become Thin Man,” and boy lemme tell you that breaks my heart and I love it.
But you know what I think does worse?
Is that if Mono told Six to let go. I’m not gonna delve into the proof of why this is possible, just the implications if it was. Imagine Mono and Six running out of the crumbling transmission tower. Imagine Six is still reeling from her time as a fucking monster. Imagine she snaps out of it all and moves through the familiar motion of catching her friend. Imagine she starts to pull him up like usual, but Mono refuses.
Imagine Mono keeps being drawn to the hallway from the TV scenes because that’s just him. When Thin Man first comes out of the TV, Mono reaches out to the Thin Man (before it all went to shit, that is). Imagine Mono desperately running through the rain, jumping from TV to TV, clawing his way through the streets trying to save his friend. Imagine him defeating the Thin Man. Imagine him running through the transmission tower. Imagine he knows. He knows that he is the Thin Man. He knows that he will grow to become that monster. Imagine Mono knows and - kind, sweet, heart of gold Mono - firmly decides to not let Six face the Thin Man ever again.
To not face him ever again.
So he tells her to let go.
And she does.
I made a spicy meme for you all
fic writers for the mandalorian ! this vid ended up being pretty interesting analytically wrt din’s fighting style and what benefits him — i don’t agree w everything stated in it just due to differing opinions / analysis and ofc some things have changed because this vid was posted before s2, but regardless it’s still pretty useful for understanding his weapons (most helpful bit imo) + the way he fights
(+ anything u might disagree w or that has been removed from or changed in canon by the end of s2 is addressed and analyzed by many ppl in the comments! so thats useful too)
All my progress will be halted. I am taking a break. My cat just got back from surgery.
All my energy will now be focused on her.
For you lot who got excited for the next chapter of 'what he would've wanted', sorry :(

to my friends in red states, please stay safe and watch out for each other. stay inside and avoid going out if you don’t need to. not to stir up fear in the wake of victory, but there are numerous watchdog organizations warning people — especially black and trans folks — to expect a sharp uptick in violence and tension. the naacp has issued a warning to black people in missouri to STAY INSIDE, STAY TOGETHER, STAY SAFE. check on your friends. stay informed. if you aren’t following them already, check out the naacp website and watchdog organizations to keep an eye on things in your area.
to white folks, this is a time for you to celebrate as well, but things are far from over. reach out to your poc and trans friends, particularly your black and trans friends, and check on them and make sure they feel safe. DO NOT STOP DONATING TO PAYPALS AND GOFUNDMES. CONTINUE SHARING RESOURCES AND INFORMATION. CONTINUE PARTICIPATING IN COMMUNITY AID. electing biden did not simultaneously wipe out the issues many marginalized communities are facing. YOUR PART IN THIS IS NOT OVER BECAUSE THIS FIGHT IS NOT OVER.
to succinctly sum up the energy we need to cultivate going forward:
you can reblog this. white people can and should reblog this. likes do nothing for us.
as a non-binary i can confirm that fungi do marginally interest me because they remind me of someone important to me
As a nonbinary person interested in befriending & flirting w\ other nonbinary people, I have decided it is in my best interest to learn much much more about assorted fungi
WHY was I CALLED OUT in SUCH A MANNER, I-

Important:
So I just realized after a heavy vent session that I could very well be in an abusive situation with my dad. So I’ve decided to save up enough money to move out once I turn 18, but I need help with that. I currently don’t have a job and even if I did, I wouldn’t have nearly enough to move out in two years.
Edit: he hit me bc I wouldn’t open my phone, called me names, etc. Here’s the post detailing the info somewhat. I’m not in the mental state to do Patreons, I’m sorry.
Another edit: I was given reasons to think he’s abusive. I might write up a post detailing about how I felt when he almost disowned me.
So here’s my Patreon (and a GoFundMe my older brother set up if you’re interested):
Here’s what I’ll do:
