Mr. Bennet: Sure, I haven't taken care of my daughters' financial security, but have I at least taken care of their education? No. But have I taken care of their emotional needs? Also no. But have I been a good protector and supervisor? I'm afraid not. However, have I been a good example for my children of being a kind and respectful spouse, parent, and all around human being? No again. But through it all, have I nailed being funny? Yes. And isn't that the most important role of a father after all?
The Bennets having no clue about the Darcy/Elizabeth drama is so goddamn funny, especially in the book. This fucking interaction takes me out every time:
Mr. Bennet: Lol, Lizzy, Mr. Collins thinks Darcy wants to marry you, what an idiot, doesn't he know that dude sucks and you hate him?
Lizzy, trying not to cry: yeah, ha, hysterical
there is literally nothing in this world more endearing than a girl who is an absolute loser
True genderfluid culture is always either feeling like Ponyo's dad or Ponyo's mum. Whatever gender you feel like pairing with the vibe is irrelevant.
A Masterpiece in Self-Sabotage: Humanity’s Magisterial Climate Destruction
Here’s a fun fact to ponder: humanity, that apex of evolutionary ingenuity, is systematically torching the only known life-supporting biosphere in the universe. Yes, we’re currently starring in the cosmic theater’s most tragicomic act—"How to Obliterate Your One and Only Home.“ Bravo, us.
The science is irrefutable, though denialists insist on wielding their willful ignorance like a badge of honor. Anthropogenic climate change—the catastrophically accelerating alteration of Earth’s climate system through the reckless emission of greenhouse gases—is not merely "happening.” It is spiraling, dragging ecosystems, weather patterns, and future generations into an entropic abyss of our own design. The empirical data? Overwhelming. Carbon dioxide concentrations have surged beyond 420 parts per million, a level unseen for millions of years. Glaciers? Disappearing. Sea levels? Rising with the precision of an apocalypse-in-waiting. Biodiversity? Eroding faster than the attention span of anyone scrolling through climate headlines.
And yet, we persist. Why? Because humans are evidently hardwired for lexical gymnastics over substantive action. We deflect, obfuscate, and euphemize—turning “global warming” into “climate variability,” and “extinction crisis” into “biodiversity offsetting.” The linguistic sleight of hand is as impressive as it is insidious. By the time we’ve wrapped our tongues around phrases like “technological mitigation strategies,” we’ve already rationalized the continued plundering of the planet.
Make no mistake: this is no mere environmental issue. It is an existential catastrophe masquerading as an inconvenience. Earth’s delicate atmospheric equilibrium, fine-tuned over eons, is not a system we can replicate in a corporate boardroom or terraform on Mars. Our celestial neighbors are barren wastelands, after all, but surely the same species that believes in infinite economic growth on a finite planet can find a workaround for that, too.
The bitter irony? We possess the technological acumen and intellectual capital to halt this devastation. But alas, our collective willpower is as fragile as the polar ice caps. The dazzling hubris of humanity blinds us to the grotesque reality: we are the arsonists of a burning house, furiously debating semantics while the flames lick at the foundations.
So here we are, racing headlong toward a dystopian tableau where climate-induced chaos renders our arguments moot. If nothing else, our penchant for linguistic precision will remain a poignant epitaph: Here lies humanity, undone not by ignorance, but by its own verbosity.

In regards of the Trump government scraping all trans inclusion in its queer information portion of its websites I have made this thing. Spread the word. Don't let them pretend we never existed.
P.S: Don't like! Reblog! <3
EDIT: Well this got a lot of attention! I got a few users asking to print or repost my art and I am unimaginably grateful to everyone's interest, especially since it's a really simple drawing I made on a whim haha! Anyone who is looking to print these out to hang or hand out or repost on another platform is free to do so, although I ask you to credit me and let people know it's from my Tumblr profile! If anyone wishes to do anything else with my art or post and wants to clarify what I consent to then they can message me privately and I'll explain! <333 all my love to my queer siblings
EDIT: I made an LGBTQIA+ version with a focus on trans and intersex folks, it's on my pinned if you prefer this version of the acronym.
