Hi. I'm Sarah (she/her).
At any given time, you can find me in Ketterdam, Ankh-Morpork, Yavin IV, Ivalice, the Water Tribe, Amestris, and/or Serenity. And in the US, but only tangentially.
Points of fact, for anyone who wants to follow me:
1. Trans women are women, trans men are men, and people can decide whatever gender they want to be, or even no gender at all. It literally does not harm me and is none of my business, and frankly I find it weird and creepy to obsess over other people’s genitals.
2. All sexualities are valid, and likewise I don’t get the obsession over drawing lines and gatekeeping and deciding who “belongs” in what category. It’s not my place to decide for someone else how they feel or what they want.
3. I am an adult. I rarely post NSFW content, and even then it’s usually more along the lines of crass jokes and stories rather than images, but I’m not going to promise that I never will. If you’re a minor, it’s up to you to decide what you’re willing to see. It’s not my job to police your internet experience.
4. All ships and all kinds of fic and art are valid. Yes, even the illegal ones. Yes, even the fucked-up toxic ones. Yes, even the ones that squick me out personally. Unless it’s actively trying to harm or convince others to do harm to actual, living people – i.e. propaganda, rallies to whip up a crowd so they’ll storm the capitol over lies – it isn’t wrong and no one has the right to demand that someone stop writing, drawing, or shipping something just because they find it abhorrent.
5. All people get human rights. All of them. Yes, even the cruelest politicians, even the murderers, even the pedophiles. Nothing can strip away someone’s right to be treated like a human being - meaning you cannot torture them, you cannot kill them, you cannot “disappear” them.
6. I found The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett when I was 19 and the Discworld went on to fundamentally change my worldview and personality in ways that I can never put into adequate words. My “gnu terry pratchett” tag is probably the biggest tag of my blog. I’m not apologizing for this. I am an evangelical Discworld believer.
7. You are welcome to politely request content warnings. If ever I’ve missed something, please let me know and I will add the warning(s) both to the relevant post and in the future.
yeah so it turned out the 2024 election was actually about deciding who would run the federal government–a liberal woman or a raping white supremacist who’d previously tried to overthrow the government–and not about Sending a Message regarding your laundry list of personal grievances and your poser, radical identity. That’s why there have been devastating consequences to letting the insane rapist win and Trump 2.0 isn’t, in fact, just a continuation of the stability you took for granted under Biden with the added bonus of owning da libs like you thought it’d be. womp womp.
Ads and commercials have always been kind of dystopic in an uncanny kind of way but they’re really freaking me out these days.
The better health commercials- “you can’t escape your crappy job, try talking to us!”
That’s not funny. Also isn’t it sad that most people don’t really seem to have close friendships anymore and that you’re selling the friend experience more than a doctor one because you can’t actually fix anything?
The progressive commercial- “you should go on vacation; what’s a vacation? … I don’t know I’ve never been on one either”
That’s not funny. That’s fucking awful. Can’t you see that’s not a fucking joke??
The e-banking app- “how much did I spend on groceries this month? 500?? -hey dad can the guys stay for dinner? - NO!”
That’s not funny! THATS NOT FUNNY! It’s not funny that we’re not “a village” anymore. That we’re not “the land of plenty” any more, that we’re not the “open table” of a country we claimed to be for so long! It’s not funny it’s not funny it’s not funny!!!!
And the big reason it’s not funny when corporations use this in advertisements is:
Gallows humor ain’t fucking funny when it’s coming from the guy wearing a black hood with his hand on a lever.
Like fuck you, your CEO makes millions of dollars and your spending more money than I’ll ever see in my life to pay other corporations whose CEOs also make millions of dollars to write / produce / display ads fucking gloating about you and your cronies plunging the world into poverty to line the pockets of investors. If I see an ad doing that shit, your company is going straight on the “boycott if at all possible” list.
(and no, “Oh no, we had to lay off 3000 people because the public is too poor to buy our product anymore!” does not count as the poor widdle corpo also suffering from the ruined economy)
yeah actually this was a very literal piece of vent art bc i got a notification about cheese recalls while making dinner :’) might as well add the info since i didnt expect so many people to share my doodle
art history will be like “this is the most revolutionary painting of its time!” and you will look at it and is just a normal painting of a lady sitting under a tree and then an art historian will explain “this is the first time a painting ever used this specific shade of blue which challenged all understood conventions of how to depict light and launched a movement known as auzureism, and also the lady is looking at a sparrow which in its time it was a sign of fierce sexual liberation and it was considered scandalous” and then you find out the painter was expelled from the academy of art of stockholm because of the painting and that the king of sweeden paid three thousand marcs (equivallent to ten million dollars now a days) to have the painting in his room and the painting still looks like a generic painting of a lady under a tree
