The concept that married people live longer is interesting. I'm sure there is some merit to the idea that if you're married there is someone there to nag you about going to the doctor, but I think much larger factors are having the finances of dual incomes and access to an immediate support person.

Surgeries require having a designated person to look after you. Many injuries require driving to somewhere like an emergency room which can be hard to do if you are the one injured. If you're home with the flu, it's hard to tell when it's bad enough to go to the hospital without another person checking on you. And if you pass out it requires another person to find you like that to get medical aid.

You can prop it up as the benefits of marriage, but I think there's a much deeper discussion to be had about how we've built society around marriage as an inevitable conclusion and neglected to build support systems that function outside of romantic pairings.

Sketchbook stuff! Every Rocky I draw looks like a completely different guy.

some shots of rocky's different sides from when he spins around walking over to grace

I fucking love carl

when rocky lets grace loose in the biodome for the first time do u think he near immediately fell to his knees and sobbed, grabbing fistfuls of sand/dirt to prove to himself that he’s not dreaming, or do u think thousands of years of evolution hit him like a freight train and he took off running before he knew what he was doing, as fast and as far as he could, to prove to himself that he could

hey so you know even if the trans girl doesn't pass you still have to use her pronouns right?

even if she doesn't "try to pass" she still deserves the same basic respect you give everybody else.

even if she's done something bad that doesn't excuse you misgendering her on purpose.

i'm so sick of people treating trans people's pronouns as some kind of reward you get if you've been a good tranny.

this goes for those who use neopronouns too i dont care how "weird" you think it is especially if you're trans yourself.

it really is that easy :)

and yes, they/themming her when you already know her pronouns is misgendering

beach episode when

“Hold the fuck up.” I say. I am the fuck up. Please hold me.

Throughout the land of Asturias, the name of la Guaxa is spoken in hushed whispers.

This vampiric figure is often described by those who have seen her as a crone or an owl with a single tooth. She will enter your bedroom night after night, fitting through even the smallest of gaps, to slowly consume your blood. When you become too weak to fight back, she will finally take you away, never to be seen again.

[Folklore]

She's like a rat: she can squeeze through any gap she can fit her tooth through!

This is such a genius idea and I'm immediately adopting it into my folklore headcanon. Soon, many kids across the region will know this true fact about la Guaxa

What

This is very much real folklore

It's funny, I'm so known for lying that when I represent a real folklore creature some folks think I'm making it up!

"oh food now has so much added to it, past food was so pure and untainted" victorians used to cut bread with chalk and aluminum powder. romans put lead in the wine, which was made from dirty feet mushing unwashed grapes covered in horse shit and road dust. i think our species will survive a few additives in food. our food systems have never been cleaner and safer. it has room for improvement, but we're not putting fucking plaster of paris in the milk
