the criticism of me and what i’ve said above is worth sitting with and acknowledging.

i have been alarmed by the sharp uptick in harassment i and most other jews on tumblr have been subject to, and i have been angered by how little other minority groups care to address the problem. however, discussions of intersectionality online often devolve into ugly, unworthy attacks on those we should have solidarity with, and i let my frustration make me cruel and stupid. that was wrong.


it’s only fair to get mad at people who say they’re particularly scared of black people, because black people spend their lives dealing with the burden of unjust fears and hatred that others put on them. it was wrong of me to add to that burden.


i don’t think of myself as some great shining activist and i’m sorry that people think i was trying to put myself forward as some kind of saintly anti-racism martyr. i just try to listen to black people, because they deserve justice and respect, and clearly i fuck up hard sometimes. and that sucks.


i think i understand better now what i’ve done wrong, and will continue doing my best to learn, and listen, and work for a better world where we’re all treated fairly.


i’m sorry i was racist, and i’ll keep working on that, and hopefully i won’t fuck up again. thanks for hearing me out.

EDITED: to add proper links to the posts so that people can follow up the context and discussion themselves if they wish.

Pinned Post roach's kawaii life i'm really worried about antisemitism and it's made me uncharitable and reactive that's on me i'll keep working on it let's see if a straightforward apology actually works for once on this piss on the poor website racism

Hi! It's your friendly neighborhood lizard speaking. Coming to you live from your screen! You might be wondering what I've been up to lately, other than being a pest and having fandom opinions. Well, the truth is that I've been really hard at work this summer getting my business up and running. And it worked! I think. I soft launched the online store earlier this month, and vended at my first live event EVER this past weekend. It was scary but also a blast.

What are we selling? Product made from the hard work of our beautiful sheep flock!

My darling boy Bravo

We have soap made from their milk, fiber from their wool, and will soon be stocking finished handspun yarn as well. Everything is hand made right on our farm. If you like fiber crafts, or know someone who does, and you wanna get something unique while supporting a new small business, take a poke around our store and tell a friend!

😭 Y'all, the big warm response you've had to my bitty shop is making me choke up a little. I'm so very grateful to the community here. I see you all my oldstuck peeps! Some of you have been a part of my life for more than a decade, and I'm so grateful to you for all the time and love you've shared with me for all these years.

A quick note on how some of the scents work! I dont use premade fragrance blends, you won't find any "our version of [brand scent]" here. Rather, we mix the single element component notes with a goal in mind. Almost every blend is inspired by our experiences growing up in the Pacific Northwest. If you're from the region you might find nostalgia in a bar of soap. If you're not, we hope you'll enjoy experiencing a little piece of our home.

Some scents get swapped out periodically! "Must Be Fall" and "Golden Fields" are both seasonal scents. The current count in the shop is all that will be made this season, and once there gone, they're gone until next year. I'm going to be pouring the winter line in the next week so that it will be ready by the end of October, so check back then!

The other scents are shop staples and will be there year round. I have a couple more in the works that I hope will be hits: PNW Hike and Cowboy Breakfast.

We will always strive to have fragrance free soap in the shop. If you've heard about the benefits of milk soap and want to try it out, but you have sensory issues, senstive skin or allergies, this soap is for you.

About the fiber: shop availability will also change seasonly, mostly based on our supply of wool (ie if I have a fleece sheared, washed, carded or combed, spun, ect). As our flock grows, we have more fleece to process, but that also means more time spent processing! Good news is that a close neighbor actually got a hold of some commercial grade processing equipment and will be opening a fiber mill practically down the road some time next year, so that will hopefully improve turnaround times and keep stock more consistent.

Woo anyway that was a lot of words, here's some cute sheep pic tax for getting through all that.

One lump(fish) or two? ☝️✌️🤔

A deep-sea lumpfish swims towards the right while another lumpfish swims towards the left in the black backgroundALT

Far below the ocean's waves, a bulbous-looking fish with leathery skin and large eyes slowly swims along. The appropriately named lumpfish live up to this magnificent moniker with their assortment of lumps, bumps, and ridges along their bodies. These denizens of the deep sea can attach themselves to surfaces using their modified pelvic fins like a suction cup to avoid being swept away in the ocean's currents.

Garden Variety Dykes: Lesbian Traditions in Gardening, 1994

OH it's a lesbian and her enormous sunflower

I thought she had her arm around the shoulders of her wife, who was dressed as a plant monster for some reason

scientia-rex

I am so glad you clarified. I was like “I’m glad that woman supports her wife in making increasingly weird ghilli suits”

nudityandnerdery

Many of us saw the picture, thought it was two women, one in a weird costume, and thought, "Hey, good for them."

you know how it is with lesbians

i'm just calling this like i see it. furries get art reblogs. a furry will say something like "i had a dream where pikachu was dressed up like one of the columbine kids" and then someone will post a picture of pikachu in a trenchcoat and the post will have like. 40 notes. furry posts dont have to blow up to get fanart. they can just exist.

and we all know why this is. furries befriend other furries and nobody draws like furries do. nobody. the internet is the device furries use to share art and the rest of us are just allowed to hang out. i'd say you can love it or you can hate, but no, you just have to love it. or else.

anyway this is all to say that the more furries you follow, and the more furries that folllow you, the more likely you are to throw out some random shitpost like "frog but it has only ever done arm day and now it looks like a farm tractor driving backwards" and get an actual drawing back.

Op I have no idea if this is what you meant but I felt possessed by farmer frog

inbabylontheywept

THIS POST IS LESS THAN AN HOUR OLD. WHAT THE FUCK.

Also that is what I meant. Except not hot. So you objectively improved upon my idea. Like, of course the frog has to be hot. Obviously. How did I miss that?

I love this website. And I love furries. Thank you for sharing your internet with us.

I mean, could the case that I was making be made any stronger than this? No. I scribbled three runes in the dirt, and now an elder god is drawing beautiful frog women. It's like the opposite of a doomsday cult. What a wonderful Wednesday, my dudes.
