breaking fucking news: misgendering real people is still bad even if you're doing it to cis people!

i know it might be a little wiiiiild to think that this could beeee ^__^

literally spending all my nights alone waiting for you to call me you’re the only one i want by my side when i fall asleep tell me what i’m waiting for (tell me what i’m waiting for) i know it’s hard but we need each other know it’s hard but we need each other

i do not care how noble your cause is if you say "narcissistic" or "sociopathic" or "delusional" or that someone has "no empathy" I am not reblogging your post. you can find better words to convey your point that don't demean those people and conditions.

HOW ISNT DASH GOING INSANE OVER ARMOR TRIMS IN THE NEW SNAPSHOT. HELLO. HELLO THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING

happy 1.20 release day! did you know that there are more possible combinations across a full suit of trimmed armor than there are molecules in a human body? :D

okay so. plates.

there's a post floating around on here somewhere about a ceramics class where half the students were instructed to make as many pots as possible no matter the quality, and the other half were instructed to make only one high-quality pot. by the end of the class, the students who had made lots of pots were making better pots than the ones who were supposed to make one perfect pot, and the lesson there was that you get better at things by making more things and letting yourself be bad at it, rather than trying to make one perfect thing.

you have to make shitty things because you have to make things, because making things at all is more important than making good things, because making shitty things is how you make better things.

a friend made the joke that "maybe not THAT shitty though, like that's not even a shitty pot anymore that's just a plate," and while i kind of agree (that's a whole different post), i also immediately went another layer deep with the metaphor: even if it's not a pot, a plate will still teach you things. a plate has its own purpose, independent of a pot - it's job isn't to be a pot, it's not going to teach you the same things that a pot would, but it has a purpose too. just because it's not what you wanted to make or meant to make doesn't mean it's not useful! nothing made is ever wasted.

wow what a great day to support people who experience "love" in an atypical way and often feel left out when people talk about how love is what makes us human. this post goes out to all our aspec (especially aplatonic), loveless, low/no empathy folks, and everyone else who can relate here too. from one low-empathy aro to everyone else who feels ostracized because of the feelings they experience - or are expected to experience but don't - i see you, and you're wonderful, and there's nothing wrong with you, and our experiences are important and beautiful and in no way lesser than anyone else's. <2

okay had a thought and now I'm curious how these numbers shake out for greater mcytblr, and, hey, this is the whole point of polls! so!

if you want to reblog for reach it is welcome and appreciated but of course do not feel obligated to, this is just because we're curious what the numbers look like beyond our little circle!

(please note: OP is plural and inclusive of all system types and origins, if you try to start syscourse or if you clown on this post it's an immediate block!)

https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/cherry-blossom-biome-coming-minecraft-120

it's a big day for pink enthusiasts in Minecraft!! Just announced:

"Cherry Blossom" biome, with the new cherry blossom tree!

Cherry blossom saplings and wood set - it's a light pink, in the range of jungle wood planks!

Pink cherry blossom leaves and blossom carpets!!!!

Bees, pigs, and sheep spawn in the cherry blossom biome - it looks like a very calm and peaceful biome!

Can't tell for certain so only take this as speculation, but it looks like cherry blossom leaves may have a particle effect similar to spore blossoms!

Cherry blossom features are "coming soon" to snapshots, and are the last big feature reveal of 1.20! you can click through to the article to see pictures of the new trees, wood, and other features!

hey if we're going over tagging etiquette for new people is this a good time for us to bring back up the plea of "please god stop tagging your watchers content as Evo if it has nothing to do with Evo" because. man I've been trying to have a productive conversation about that tagging mess for over a year and if this is what it takes to have that conversation I will take it!

is anyone else an eighteen-wheeler headed down the interstate and their brakes are gonna give and they won't know till it's too late or is it just me and john darnielle

born to fuck around forced to find out

haha yeah cool character with voices in their head. are you normal about schizo-spec people and systems of all origins tho.

unfriendly reminder that if you use the term "delulu" that's an instant block from me 👍

attention The Magnus Protocol fandom: please don't tag your magprot posts as "#tmg"! I've seen a couple people doing it, and I wanted to say that that's an existing tag for the Mountain Goats (band) and we'd appreciate it if you used something else and didn't overrun our existing tag! thanks :)
