made more edits of tristamp wolfwood and his stupid sad eyes. i am entranced by how much more pathetic he manages to look without his sunglasses
"I'm using [extremely gendered term] gender-neutrally!"
Cool, I do not interpret it gender-neutrally at all and you might want to reconsider why you feel like adding an "I do what I want" tagline to your post makes you perfectly comfortable making other people -- and in particular, trans people -- uncomfortable
Frankly, the disclaimers make me feel worse because it tells me you put thought into this and decided to go with it anyway
as a huge lover of birds, 90% of the concern against wind turbines being used for energy is literally just pro fossil fuel propaganda. birds ARE at a risk however there is a lot of strategies even as simple as painting one of the blades that reduces a lot of accidental deaths. additionally renewable energy sources will do more in favor of the environment that would positively impact birds (and all of us). one study found over one million bird deaths from wind turbines. while that is a shockingly high number and we should work to drastically shrink it, at least 1.3 billion birds die to outdoor cats on a yearly basis. it was never about caring about birds
a redemption poll from that last dog name one i did:
what is your pet named after?
space / nature / another animal /etc
character / show / song / album / etc (media/entertainment)
celebrity / public / historical figure / etc
family member / ancestral name / etc
food / object / brand / miscellaneous
they already had their current name
just a classic pet name (buddy, fluffy, charlie, sadie, etc.)
i have multiple pets (several of these)
other (share in tags)

HOW AREN'T THERE MORE TUMBLR POSTS ABOUT THE GIANT AIRSHIP THE AIRLANDER 10 WHY DID I ONLY JUST FIND OUT ABOUT IT
IT LOOKS WORSE AT EVERY ANGLE
NO
Like.
I get that it looks like a giant posterior, and that is objectively funny.
But also hybrid airships are cool as hell, and a way better idea long-term for aerial mass transit than what we do now.
If I risk making an ass of myself to stick up for this thing, I don't give a toot. You can make it the butt of your jokes all you like, make every cheeky comment you want, but I'd bet my bottom dollar that the thing to vindicate it will be hindsight. In posterity, the idea behind this will seem brilliant upon further analysis.
But right now it's just a joke.
And that really bums me out.
Please, if you can, take a moment to read and share this because I feel like I'm screaming underwater.
NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder) stigma is rampant right now, and seems to be getting progressively worse. Everyone is using it as a buzzword in the worst ways possible, spreading misinformation and hatred against a real disorder.
I could go on a long time about how this happened, why it's factually incorrect (and what the disorder actually IS), why it's harmful, and the changes I'd like to see. But to keep this concise, I'll simply link to a few posts under the cut for further reading.
The point of this post is a plea. Please help stop the spread of stigma. Even in mental health communities, even around others with personality disorders, in neurodivergent "safe" spaces, other communities I thought people would be supportive in (e.g. trans support groups, progressive spaces in general), it keeps coming up. So I'm willing to bet that a lot of people on this site need to see this.
Because it's so hard to exist in this world.
My disorder already makes me feel as if I'm worthless and unlovable, like there's something inherently wrong and damaged about me. And it's so much harder to fight that and heal when my daily life consists of:
I could go on for a long time, but I'm scared no one will read/rb this if it gets too much longer.
So please. Stop using the word "narcissist" as a synonym for "abusive".
Stop bringing up people you hate who you believe to have NPD because of a stigmatizing article full of misinformation whenever someone with actual NPD opens their mouth. (Imagine if people did that with any other disorder! "Hey, I'm autistic." "Oh... my old roommate screamed at me whenever I made noise around him, and didn't understand my needs, which seems like sensory overload and difficulty with social cues. He was definitely autistic. But as long as you're self-aware and always restraining your innate desire to be an abusive asshole, you're okay I guess, maybe." ...See how offensive and ignorant that is?)
Stop preventing healthcare for people with a disorder just because it's trendy to use us as a scapegoat.
If you got this far, thank you for reading, and please share this if you can. Further reading is under the cut.
maybe some people would like to know that this image is being used to sell twist potato sticks in south korea (source: i took this picture when i was there)
