One of the foremost reasons I like solarpunk is that in the mainstream, being eco-friendly is about sacrifice. Don’t buy new things, don’t buy plastic, don’t take unnecessary trips—etc. It’s not sustainable unless you’re a saint. It’s exhausting to abstain from consumerism without having alternatives like the things Solarpunk emphasizes: community, resources held in common, sustainable hobbies like gardening and mending (and all other sorts of repair), free and accessible public transportation, etc. Solarpunk is about creating a world where being eco-friendly is about joy, not deprivation.

As much as small men get compared to small dogs, you never see someone as shocked and surprised to find out that they can't throw down with someone literally three times their size as a chihuahua or a 40 kg girl.

I have watched both petite women and chihuahuas succeed at throwing down with someone three times their size.

I'm not prepared to assume they're wrong.

So it's like a trial and error gamble thing? They, too, have no idea whether they're the size miracle fury pint type or the easily farted across an ocean type, before they try?

I think there's just a lot of overlap between "Confident they can hold their own in a fight because they've been in fights before" and "Confident they can hold their own in a fight because nobody has ever actually laid hands on them to slap the notion out of their head before."

Can someone explain this part to me again?

How is there overlap between people who have been in a fight before, and people who have never been in a fight before?

There’s overlap in the way they behave, because both types of people described above are equally confident the could win a fight

EVERYONE GET MORE AROMANTIC!!!! EVERYONE GET MORE AROMANTIC NOW!!! GET ALL THE CHARACTERS MORE AROMANTIC TOO!!! EVERYONE GET MORE AROMANTIC!!!!!

I can't remember how much of this is implied canon or my own interpretation, but I fully believed that Chiron recognized Percy was a son of Poseidon from the fountain incident with Nancy Bobofit, knew that a child of the Big Three being claimed would be a total shit show, and simply chose not to say a word about it

wait isn't it also implied somewhere that Sally was in contact with Chiron at some point before Percy arrived at CHB? Im dying imagining a convo between them about Percy's godly parentage like-

Chiron: Unfortunately, its fairly common for the gods to not disclose of their godly nature, so a lot of parents don't exactly know who-

Sally: Oh I always knew Percy's father was a god! You see I met him at a beach in Montauk and-

Chiron: You know what Sally 😀 I'm going to have to stop you right there.

Chiron after going to Yancy at Grover's desperate request and getting one (1) look at the child that is the carbon copy of Poseidon's preferred mortal form:

The Witch of Stolen Tomorrows had begun to notice an odd trend amongst her petitioners.

The latest was a farmer. He had braved the journey through the Testing Woods and arrived with his convictions mostly intact. He now sat on a tree stump by the Witch’s thornbush cottage, drinking a cup of bitter tea, and asking for a fairly standard boon.

"Oh yes," said the Witch, "I can make you a spell for a bountiful harvest, but what will you give me in return?"

The farmer gulped. "My firstborn child?"

"By the dick-shattered sky.” The Witch exclaimed. “What?"

"Oh. You don't take firstborn children?"

"I am a witch of ancient promises, timeless dreams, and fresh blood.” The Witch announced. “Of course I take firstborn children. It's just a bit weird that it was your first offer."

"you protest to much" as a way to dismiss people saying they're not in love or attracted to someone is very enroute to becoming a huge pet peeve of mine tbh. I think if someone said that to me I'd have to shoot aromanticism lasers out of my eyes at them

crotch is literally the most comfortable place to lay your hands. especially with thighs pressing on them. but im scared people will think im a pervert of sex

This current trend of people being very openly hostile towards polyamory has made me realize a few things and among those things is that, apparently, to many people the bad thing about someone cheating in a relationship is simply that they are having sexual/romantic relations with multiple people at the same time. Like, that's what the issue is to many of them that's what's morally wrong about it. Not the fact that they're going behind their partner's back to break a serious established boundary and their trust. Which is crazy

This is why they don't care when you try to explain that polyamory is consensual therefore by definition not cheating it doesn't matter at all because to them the issue was never consent. They just think being with multiple people at the same time is inherently immoral in any context even if literally everyone involved is cool with it
