yall look at this shit ad*be is tryna pull now on ppl who have outdated software:
(note for context: i’m all for piracy, but in this case my copy of CS6 was downloaded years ago when they were giving it away to students. i got it totally legally.)
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but going to thrift stores and buying all the usable sheets and t-shirts and jeans and then cutting them up to make rag rugs or yarn or whatever for your shabby chic/cottagecore aesthetic isn’t solar punk.
It’s gentrification.
You are taking resources away from people who need them so that you can pretend to live a less consumptive lifestyle. You are cosplaying sustainability.
The whole fucking point of rag rugs etc. was that you made use of textiles you already had that could no longer be used for their intended purpose, and you extended the lifecycle of the item by turning it into something else useful instead of throwing it in the garbage. When you buy clothing that still has use *as clothing* just to cut it into rags to make a rug, you’re *speeding up* the consumption of materials. You’re shortening the lifecycle. You are consuming MORE.
And you’re doing it by buying up resources that marginalized people need. Those thrift store sheets would look so much better on somebody’s fucking bed, but since you wanted that Little House on the Prairie vibe, someone is sleeping on a bare mattress now whilst trying to save their pennies to go to fucking Wal-Mart for bedsheets. And that denim throw pillow probably looks adorable on your sofa, but somebody needed a pair of sturdy jeans for that job they’re trying to get, and now there’s nothing available.
But sure, your house looks cute. I guess that’s important.
This comic is based on a combination of my personal thoughts and experiences and Steven Universe Future’s plot. I’ve decided to binge watch the series from season 1 up to season 6 this quarantine season, and I didn’t think Steven Universe especially the last season would resonate with me a lot. I didn’t really grow up with the series like its’ audience since it was the time I got the busiest but I think I would never appreciate the series so much if I watched it when I was younger. So, I wanted to pour my energy into something different while also pouring down a piece of my honest thoughts I had these past few years. I won’t ask you to watch the series like I did but I hope you’ll find time to slow down, take care of yourself, and find your happiness. I’m not really good at writing so I’m sorry about that pffft, to the ones who read this what I consider “long” description, thanks to coming to my ted talk 👌 Take care 💫

No one’s saying this so I guess I’ve gotta: no more shirtless scenes for men if the actors gotta starve himself. Its just as bad as woman being forced to lose weight for a needless sex scene/photoshoot what have you. If it endangers the health of the individual it should not be encouraged.
fuck it i’m finally making this post because goddamn i wish i saw it when i was younger
if anyone significantly older than you approaches you on the internet or in real life in a romantic or sexual way, do. not. communicate with them. the second it becomes anything other than respectful or friendly in any way or if they make you even slightly uncomfortable, block. them. cut them out of your life. they are not worth it and they will hurt you. run. protect yourself. and be safe.
parents, please be consistent and communicate clearly, in advance, when it comes to household chores.
kids should be helping with chores in a shared household (and learning how to be self-sufficient in the future). but! kids also deserve to have their free time respected by not having chores sprung on them unexpectedly. and assigning them chores at random just encourages them to isolate themselves from the family. talk with them in advance about what’s expected–setting & respecting clear boundaries will make you both happier.
