This probably doesn't need to be said, but if you're asked to CW something and actively refuse or make fun of the request, then keep in mind that there's gonna be a number of people silently blocking you

Especially since we all already have so much horrible shit in the world to keep up with lately, it shouldn't be a ridiculous idea to be able to approach things at our own pace/avoid things that might be triggering, it's one of the reasons this site's supposed to be better than Twitter

hello fellow white people. it's easy to post "fuck the police" and say "i would never call the police" and listen to millions of dead cops and think 1312 thoughts but! have you considered what you would do INSTEAD of calling the fash? no? how about a lil homework:

you don't hate computers you hate GNU and the way they genuinely don't seem to make good software

Because it's a skill that's missing in our society, here's how to apologize.

1) Acknowledge harm. "I f'd up." 2) State what you did that was wrong, in a way that shows you understand the harm done.
3) Express regret
4) Say what you're going to change to not cause this harm again
5) Listen.

Don't ask the hurt person for *anything.* It's up to them to accept or not, if they choose.

Don't be clever. Be plain & simple.

You can just sketch and roughly ink/color for your entire life and you're not a lesser artist.

If that's where you thrive, don't be ashamed. Some of the best art I've ever seen is sketchwork. Don't force yourself in a direction because its not what people think of as Objectively Good Art. Nobody ever became a great artist doing whatever the fuck everyone else told them to do.

Whatever is your favorite part of art is YOU LIVE AND BREATH that shit with no regrets!!!

Hey. You. Yeah, you. I think you should know that today I was wearily bisexual.
