racism isn’t just annoying it is literally traumatizing and a lot of brown and black folk have ptsd from the racism we have experienced. i feel like this isnt taken into account in any racism discussions had by white people and it’s honestly upsetting.
my favourite thing about the 'jon was alt in uni' headcannon is that his only living relative was his grandmother
imagine meeting this super punk guy who smokes and is lowkey intimidating, and then realising that his tastes in tv shows are bargain hunt and homes under the hammer bc that's what he's grown up with
i think its so funny that in her statement manuela’s like “i’m a true believer. not like natalie ennis.” but we also know that natalie, manuela, and rayner are the only ones powerful enough to look at the dark sun without immediately going blind so whats her real issue with this girl. like. whats the beef
re: to the "ethical dilemma" anon. It is not unethical to use help programs when you need help. What is ACTUALLY unethical is the government providing help programs that don't help a tonne of people who are suffering and need the help, and then calling us criminals and fraudsters for using their programs despite not technically qualifying because we'd rather not starve more than we already have been since March or April..
the concept of foundation is really so evil to me…a liquid skin you paint on to cover your natural skin…To market that as a normal and even necessary product…only to women…evil. If no one tells our fathers they look sick or tired or dull without $40 pore clogging paint on their faces that shouldn’t be the message we get either!
“Sometimes, when I’m careless, I think survival is easy: you just keep moving forward with what you have, or what’s left of what you were given, until something changes—or you realize, at last, that you can change without disappearing, that all you had to do was wait until the storm passes you over and you find that—yes—your name is still attached to a living thing.”
— Ocean Vuong, from On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous (Penguin Press, 2019)
all my mutuals have a godly cents of humor and if this site dares to die and strip me of this decadent enjoyment of scrolling down my dashboard and seeing hilarious posts in chronological order ill choke atlas till he drops earth and it crack shatters like a dollarstore snowglobe
I keep seeing people discovering the TMA patreon deluxe transcripts and announcing details as canon so I just gotta keep saying: they are explicitly non-canon, and they have different writers than the show. Like you can include details in headcanons if you like them, but the patreon content written by people other than Jonny (deluxe transcripts, fanfic fluff episodes, even What the Ghost) are all non-canon.
Which also means that there’s no canon content hidden behind paywalls, and you don’t have to worry about getting characterization details wrong or missing spots on your red string board!
