"punk isnt political! punk is mainly music based!"
ok how about i go and drink approximately 217.23L of wall paint. how about that.
i hate how everyone seems to hate ai until its convenient or entertaining to them. ill be honest i used to play around with chat bots and yeah it was fun but no amount of entertainment can justify the environmental impact it has.
like its genuinely crazy. mfs will talk about recycling for the environment and then go and ai generate shitty cat photos.
ive met people who will actively acknowledge that ai usage has a terrible impact on our already depleting water sources then turn around and make it spit out 5 shittily generated videos. like what???
i dunno call me the fun police or whatever but i do believe that ai is going to be the death of society someday. and in the event ai takes over and starts tryna kill anyone who has opposed it, im not against the idea of ai, okay listen i named myself after an android from dbh i do genuinely love the idea of being able to incorporate machinery into society and evolving. but i do believe we have unlocked it too early. i do not believe we have made the necessary steps to ensure ai can be used to help us without it actively destroying our planet and our ability to intake and output information. if ai will not be the death of us or our planet, it will be the death of critical thinking and problem solving skills.
i dunno, its just annoying and hypocritical. like you cannot claim to be an eco warrior then turn around and tell ai to write an essay for you.
like unless youre actively offsetting your carbon and hydrological footprint by planting trees or donating to re-foresting organisations (which i doubt any of them do, lol.) youre still contributing loads to the crash of ecosystems and freshwater supplies. even then i dont think that the only reason to be supporting re-foresting should be to offset ai use. just plant some trees instead of planting trees AND fucking over your writing skills.
its wild people get called soft or woke over this. mf i just care about not treating water like its an infinite resource when groundwater (40% of the planets freshwater) is being pumped from the ground too fast for it to replenish for the sake of shit like cooling servers.
i do believe humanity is getting ahead of itself, i do not believe we are at a point where ai can be used in a way where it is safe for both the environment and society itself. and because of that, i really do believe humanity as a whole needs to step back and prioritise not killing the rock we live on before we try to make dbh real.
anyways guys i think a red cherry shrimp in my aquarium is eggnant!!!!! wish me luck this could mean i wont have to spend $10 on 5 shrimp :)
holy shit this is so annoying but the amount of times ive met alt girls (particularly punks) that will make their whole schtick being alternative and progressive then turn around and have racist, white boyfriends is insane.
like i genuinely hate calling people posers but holy shit. that is genuine poser activity. call me soft or wtv but i do believe that whoever you are actively dating says a lot about you and your beliefs.
like sorry dude but i find it hard to believe youre actually in the scene when your bf is a borderline racist, you actively make racist jokes, you dont even try to understand the history behind the scene, and the most punk thing you do is repost pictures of punks online. like dude can you and your racist crusty bf gtfo. no one wants you here
like, i get my entire brand is being involved in the punk scene, but outside of this account i dont even call myself a punk, yet somehow im more involved in the subculture than some of these leeches are.
idk this could just sound like elitist bs and if it does ill self reflect on that part but otherwise i genuinely hate performative mfs that claim to be alternative then turn around and act like or date complete assholes. like jokes or not idk if u and ur white bf should be joking about police brutality. maybe gtfo, break up and self reflect before turning around and trying to act like youre some "omg xd dirty rat saurr punk and aesthetic" girl despite never having evolved your political beliefs beyond "yeah queer people are cool".
yes this is targeted leave me alone i needed to rant
slapping this badge on my blog
To any trans person reading this, there's nothing transphobes are afraid of more, than you surviving.
As long as your heart beats, there's a chance you'll outlive them, so please let it keep beating.
i feel like one of the most punk things you can do nowadays is be a furry or therian/some form of alterhuman. theres nothing more punk than defying society as a whole and taking an interest in or straight up identifying as non-human beings.
like fuck yeah! wear your tail and mask! wear your fursuit! shits punk as hell and it does good by creating positive experiences for kids and really anyone that can find joy in these things.
i will never understand the hatred towards them, to be fair i grew up around the furry community and am apart of the alterhuman community but even then im not too involved in either. shits awesome
hey! i know i havent posted in a little while but you guys should totally check out and support this person's gofundme!!!!!! im pretty sure their comms are also open! go give them some love in these trying times.

and to so many other friends in the usa right now, stay safe! and remember, existence is resistance. no matter what happens, your best bet at resisting oppression is your continued existence.
Furries have consistently fought for our rights and been on the right side of history for YEARS. I love furries and gladly wholeheartedly support them
to all the intersex kids out there: you are not alone. you are not broken. the world is probably going to be hard for you but so many of us out there are fighting to make it better than it was for us. you are loved. please survive.
im an atheist and recently ive started replacing the word "god" in any sentences like "oh my god" with some random science figure.
"my brother in bill nye the science guy what the fuck"
its my favourite passtime.
was in class a few months ago and the topic of queerness and gender came up, like people usually do they started making jokes about labels.
"haha guys whats a FTM?? im a FTM HAHDHAHWHWJ"
me, ftm, already desperately attempting to not be singled out and now having to hold back from infodumping about every lgbtqia label because i hyperfixated on it when i was 10
i've been inpatient about 6 - 7 times now in various areas of the country and i thought i'd write down a few things on what to expect whenever you visit these kinds of facilities in the United States. i have gone in for psychotic and dissociative episodes, as well as suicidal ones. i cannot write about the experience in other countries unfortunately, this is my own personal experience. note that i can't tell you everything about your facility but i can tell you what i've experienced personally that generally applies to these kinds of places
when trying to get admitted to generally need to go to the ER first to tell them you are having a psychiatric crisis. use the word crisis. a lot of places will not admit you unless you admit you are having suicidal or homicidal thoughts. if you are visibly in a psychotic episode you may not have to admit these things but generally a lot of places won't admit you unless you are suicidal. if you aren't but need help anyways, mention that you're suicidal. it's not fucked up to do this. if you need help, you need help.
in almost all cases expect to be held for 72 hours (3 days) MINIMUM inside of that hospital. you cannot leave at all during this period. this is referred to as a 72 hour hold, it is for your safety. you are not allowed to leave during this time unless you opt to leave against medical advice (AMA) which will be noted on your chart. some places won't have this but most psychiatric hospitals will do this. please note that this is the MINIMUM hold! you may be there for longer depending on the severity of your situation
you cannot use your cellphone in most of these places. they will be locked away with your other possessions. this is to prevent you from contacting/being contacted by people who may be abusing or scaring you, as well as to prevent you from worrying about the stressors that brought you in to begin with. be prepared to not use any electronic devices for several days to a week. some people really struggle with this but it's vital in the healing process
you will not have access to any of your possessions outside of simple things like books and notebooks. you can't bring in pencils or pens, they will provide you with some. you cannot bring your own hygiene products or medications to be used unless it's a very specific medication that's necessary that that hospital cannot administer
if you use nicotine, you will be given patches in most facilities, but some do allow patients to smoke their own cigarettes. most modern facilities provide nicotine patches
you more than likely will not be able to wear your own clothes. if you can, you will be given to on-site laundry facilities, or the staff will do it for you depending on the location. in a lot of places you will be given scrubs to wear. you will also be given non-slip ("grippy") socks to wear all the time. this is the only footwear that's permitted generally
you more than likely will have to share a bedroom with another patient. not always, but often this is the case. in a lot of hospitals trans patients are put in rooms with just one bed for safety reasons but this will vary wildly depending on location
there will be group therapy and visitations from therapists in most places. please attend these if you feel up to it, a lot of them are genuinely helpful. not all classes or therapists will be good, so if you feel uncomfortable feel free to leave, but i recommend trying to attend these
there are generally vegetarian, vegan, etc. options for meals so feel free to ask the staff in case you have a specific diet, especially medical diets
some psych facilities are small crisis centers or rehabilitation centers that are not connected to a proper hospital. if they are not, their resources will generally be a lot less and they will have less knowledge when it comes to physical health ailments
you may or may not receive a diagnosis. i was instantly diagnosed with schizophrenia the first time i went to the psych ward. i was clearly in a psychotic episode, confused, not entirely sure where i was. i was interviewed for a long time before the doctor came to the conclusion of schizoaffective disorder. other times i was diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder & depersonalization derealization disorder. i get diagnosed with DID and schizophrenia most times i go. your mileage will vary greatly depending on your situation. you may have wildly different diagnoses the different times you visit or you may get the same ones. you may not get a diagnosis at all. it's going to depend on your situation
you are more than likely going to be given new medications. much like the rest of the hospital, you may not be told the name of the medication right away. this is normal. it happens whenever you visit the ER, get a surgery, or are in other parts of the hospital, the name of the medication may not always be told to you right away. ask if you're curious about medications. they'll gladly explain
if a medication is making you feel like garbage or making your symptoms worse tell the nurses right away. you do not have to keep taking a medication if it starts to make you feel worse, you are allowed to communicate how medications are making you feel
try to take care of yourself and focus on getting better. your treatment may not be perfect but if you focus on yourself it gets easier. you're there to learn how to take care of yourself better. there may be "problem" patients but they are there to work on themselves too
if someone starts causing problems with you, tell staff and try to resolve it as quietly as possible as the other patient may just need some help that they weren't being given prior
feel free to ask for the hospital to let you know exactly what your discharge instructions rare. they will generally be setting you up with a lot of appointments upon discharge. this will usually involve an appointment with a therapist and a medication manager if they want you to stay on medication. keep up with these appointments, they will help. if you and your therapist do not get along well, feel free to find out how to find a new therapist
discharge can take a few hours longer than you make expect due to the amount of paperwork and appointments mentioned above. if it takes a long time for you, that is not abnormal
ASK FOR RESOURCES LIKE SOCIAL WORKERS, CASE MANAGEMENT AND SO ON. THIS IS HUGE: if you have EVER been admitted in-patient for mental health reasons you almost always qualify for case management services through your insurance. if you don't have insurance you still may qualify for low or no cost services. these are people who can help you sign up for government and public assistance. they can help you figure out how to pay your bills. they can help you find transportation, help with rent, help navigate addiction, help with signing up for housing programs and so on.
"severe" mental health (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, PTSD, dissociative identity disorder, autism, personality disorders, OCD, and other conditions) & substance use disorder diagnoses often qualify you for discounted housing programs, bill/rental assistance, resources for navigating and escaping homelessness, help with children & family, and other great resources. take advantage of them especially if you genuinely struggle with these things
certain things may vary depending on where you're located, but this is what i've experienced going to hospitals in 3 different states. i hope this information can be helpful to some. if you have any questions feel free to ask i'm happy to help!
i cant explain it but the biohazard symbol has a grip on my brain like no other. this is me this symbol is me. im a biohazard im going to fucking explode. i feel the need to paint this symbol or other associated symbols on everything i create.
i think im hyperfixated on the fucking biohazard symbol.
Hello My dearest friends,🌟
My name is Mahmoud Jihad, from Gaza. My home, my university, everything has been destroyed. I now live in a flimsy tent with my family after losing everything. I was studying Information Technology while caring for my family, and now we have nothing. 😔
We are living amidst indescribable destruction and desperately need your help to survive. 😭 Even a small donation can make a huge difference. Every contribution is a spark of hope in the darkness of this war. ✨

Dear friends ❤️🇵🇸
Thank you very much from my heart for your donation and support 🙏🏼
I want to say that I only have 700$ left to reach my short-term goal of 8000$. Please help me reach my goal today 🙏🏼😔. I ask those who can donate to donate so I can reach my short goal today Thank you very much ❤️🇵🇸🇵🇸

only 700 left out of 8000!!!! this is achievable! if youre able to then please do something!!
whenever i show people i know my diy projects i usually end up getting some form of "i wish i could do that.", and each time im confused because, you can.
i cut up old pairs of jeans for fabric, use wall paint samples, hand sew with a sewing kit i found in the house and have slowly curated into a big tub of random supplies, and i stop the fabric from fraying with a random match box. as for artistic stuff, you can easily make stencils from paper!!
trust me, if you've ever seen some really cool diy shit and wanna try it out, you 100% can! a lot of diy stuff can easily be sourced from around your house or from others around you with unwanted items.
im currently going around to friends of mine seeing if i can debone their jackets (steal the zippers) and then return said deboned jackets, if youre broke or just dont wanna spend $50 on a white t shirt with cursive on it then make that shit!! trust me you just gotta get creative with what you use. :)
hot take but as someone with a uterus i think i should be able to talk about reproductive rights and reproductive healthcare because, despite being a trans guy, it still affects me.
every time someone asks me if i'm trans all im reminded of is that one meme "omg ur transjenner? thas so cool..."
it crossed my dashboard so i had to publish, i cannot ignore divine intervention when i see it. thanks for your support tiny orange cat, you're a real one

hey! are you tired of mixing acrylic paint with random shit to paint your patches? interested in a paint thats a little bit too opaque and probably needs to be watered down? (thus giving you a bit more to work with!)
then heres an idea!: wall paint samples.
ive been using $5 wall paint sample tubs since i started making patches, and holy SHIT it works super well! since the paint is so opaque you dont tend to need very much, and because its meant for walls its overly strong and water resistant. the small tubs also give you plenty considering how little you tend to need!
"annoying anarcho! what about the fumes!" idk but it works great. wear a mask or something while you paint if you're really worried.
only con is that you need to be confident in your abilities! if you mispaint you need to either go over it in a different colour or wipe it away with water asap, otherwise shits great! if you want colours that arent different varieties of white then mix it with acrylic, hypocritical of me to suggest i know, but it works a charm.
or, if you dont like paint then household bleach can be pretty decent! its permanent, has a cool looking colour +effect and is generally in most households, just make sure your fabric works with it and do some test strips!
PUNK PSA:
Please don’t put anything too political on your back patches— especially about your own marginalized experiences.
This has been a long standing rule in punk communities, passed down for generations. People do get jumped and experience violence as a result of this. You can’t see who is behind you, you can’t tell if they’re far right, and you can’t prepare yourself for sudden violence from behind.
So many people are new to the scene, introduced via social media, and don’t know the weight of walking with something on your back (literally and metaphorically) that immediately outs you as marginalized. If you’re able to defend yourself, or out with friends who can watch your back, by all means go for it and wear whatever you want on your back patches but if you walk alone at all ever, please be safe.
Also this is why punks wear spikes and studs on our shoulders especially. Makes it harder for someone to grab you and works as self defense (but also never wear spikes at a small show or if you plan to mosh— people can get hurt!).
