Some people are baffled by the concept that there really are people who actually like children but don’t want any of their own. “Childfree” doesn’t automatically mean someone who simply hates children. The thing is, I do like kids, and I will absolutely not compromise on my stance that each and every child deserves to grow up in a safe, stable and supportive environment. I also know that I get aggressive if I’m constantly sleep-deprived or overstimulated. People generally don’t regard me as someone capable of violence, but if I can’t get 15 minutes of silence each day and at least 5 hours of sleep every night, I will start throwing things. And I know kids won’t let you have that. Ever.
Kids deserve to grow up feeling safe and cherished, unafraid to express themselves and without worry that they’re unwelcome or unwanted. And that’s why they should be doing that somewhere else than in my fucking house.
Just two friends getting a suit made/making a suit together!! No unresolved feelings here (I love them your honor. Either as friends or a romantic couple)
This drawing apparently took me OVER 14 HOURS???? I need to stop making ACoFaF fanart I just get possesed and forget to eat or drink and just draw
(Psst, I uploaded this as a print on my inprnt!! If you like ACoFaF and would like to support a small artist (me), check it out!)
Blah blah kink at pride discourse blah blah the BDSM community that I joined in 2010 used to team up with other BDSM communities to volunteer at the local pridefest to do security and distribute drinks and other tasks they were needed for. (They probably still do this, I moved far away)
The BDSM community I was in was teamed up with the local queer resource center (whose manager was a trans dominatrix in the local scene) and AIDS charity center and we regularly collected food for their pantries and helped assist at fundraising events for them. Leather communities and BDSM communities do this sort of thing all the time.
And sure, it’s important to point out that “no kink at pride” can be boiled down to mean “no pride at all because all queer people are sex perverts according to society” but it’s also important to acknowledge that the people keeping your queer resource centers going are often the people running events on safe knife play and rope suspension and hypnofisting and electrostimulation. Nobody is forcing you to participate in kink but show some fucking gratitude to the perverts in black leather for the hard work they do for YOU.

The text reads “Calling all dog owners: The doctors and team at Bryan Animal Clinic want you to know that the artificial sweetener xylitol is now being marketed as “birch sugar” Xylitol is extremely toxic to dogs and can cause liver failure. It is commonly found in peanut butter, chewing gum, and ice cream.” / end id ]
While every force available in the world is searching for the 5 people in the oceangate submersible, a boat filled with mostly Syrian and Pakistani refugees sank under still “unknown” circumstances off the coast of Peloponnisos, Greece (with the coast guard present). More than 600 people drowned but guess which of the two is making headlines
