“I am forever denouncing this therapeutic obsession that governs our modern society, scared of living and haunted by death. We must protect ourselves from everything, heal from everything. Nowadays, food, music, painting, hiking… everything is repurposed as a method for healing, for keeping fit, for keeping healthy, when these activities are first and foremost opportunities for pleasure, desire, gratitude, knowledge, wonderment, and bonding with others. Our entire culture, as well as politics, imposes on all citizens this endless and nagging preoccupation with mental and physical health.”

— Jacqueline Kelen, L’Esprit de Solitude

I love folklore so much because depending on the location and era it comes from it’s either the most terrifying concept or the dumbest thing you’ve ever heard

Mexican Folklore: You think this place is a Normal Location? Tch. You fool. Everyone knows this place is the SCARY Location.

British Folklore: There’s a little Beast in your house… make sure you give it the necessary porridge……. otherwise it might turn to mischief…….

German Folklore: For the love of God, do NOT trust hot people and do NOT trust babies and do NOT trust short men and do NOT trust Christmas and do NOT trust sausage and do NOT trust the elderly and

US Folklore: This Giant Boy From Texas Is God’s Favorite

it truly infuriates me that a good portion of womens clothing feels like… fake clothing. movie prop clothing. clothing that is not actually meant to be worn by human beings (but is still full priced). im thinking of those wafer fuckin thin cotton hoodie sweaters and those flimsy stretchy skin-tight “denim” jeans.

if you told shadow you’re trans he’d ask you what that is and after you’d explain it to him he’d go “so say you’ve…"transitioned” to the ultimate version of yourself?…. i can respect that.“ and then he’d kick you in the face

first panel of a digital comic of shadow the hedgehog looking at the viewer with a hand outstretched inquisitively while talking. his speech bubble says "so you say you've... 'transitioned' to the ultimate version of yourself?" with the word "transitioned" colored with the trans colors.ALT
second panel of the comic: shadow's expression is now calm and his hand is lowered as he speaks. his speech bubble says "...i can respect that."ALT
third and final panel of the comic: shadow is kicking towardsmthe viewer and he is heavily motion blurred.ALT

i had to do it im sorry

Today I saw a pic of a baby cowbird next 2 its nest “parent” and it was so much bigger!!!!! Which is the sort of thing that gets normal people upset about the injustice of nest parasitism but makes *me* worry if baby cowbirds get bird dysmorphia

This (from Cornell Labs via Merlin) is the pic I was looking at. It’s just a little baby but it’s so much bigger than its “parent”!!!! Do baby cowbirds feel isolated? Do they understand they’re a different bird, or are they just a really bad sparrow?

hey, good news! ecologists have been studying this very thing! it seems young cowbirds have some kind of innate sense that leads them to sneak out of their foster nest at night to hang out in grasslands where they—more often than not—meet other cowbirds and learn more about what they really are.

Thanks I am going to cry so hard I throw up ;-;
