[insert companion-centric roleplaying video game] looks fun but i can't adventure with a pack of maybelline models. i need my comrades-in-arms to look like they begin every morning with a nutritious bowl of cigarettes
In the mid-2000s there was a brief fad in Australian government messaging where they went out of their way to insult the public as much as possible.
This fad eventually died out after the tourism board attempted the same style of messaging in the UK, causing a minor scandal which led to the head of Tourism Australia, Scott Morrison, getting the sack.
The first time we drove past the “don’t drive like a cock” sign, my mum looked at it was immediately SO confused - after all she’s a good semi-conservative Christian woman. My brother and I knew it right away but for the next half hour she guessed literally EVERY other word for cock (don’t drive like a rooster, chicken, hen, chick, bird, fowl, poultry) trying her goddamned hardest to make the sign make sense until my - at the time - eleven year old brother got fed up and yelled COCK at the top of his lungs from the back seat.
My mum was FURIOUS - we weren’t even allowed to say “heck” - until she realised he’d just been telling her what the sign was, and for the rest of the three hour trip our good semi-conservative Christian mother proceeded to amuse herself by muttering “cock” under her breath and giggling like a teenager every time she did.
We still bring it up every now and then. So that particular advertising campaign has been making my family laugh for over a decade.
This one was always my favourite, though:
Reblogging to make sure this excellent story is seen
the irresistible urge to scream for no reason
behold the worst woman alive (aka my cyberpunk red oc)

sometimes I read a ttrpg and get caught in a loop of "wow there is a lot that's not working for me in this" + "it's so much effort to write a ttrpg, let alone publish one, who am I to criticize?"
but i think criticism is fair as long as you're discerning about it! Like "this isn't a choice I would make as a designer" vs "this isn't something I would enjoy running/playing" vs "you definitely should not have written this for ethical reasons" vs "you definitely should not have written this because it mechanically does not do what you want it to do"
and all those criticisms can coexist!
This is an image of me and a friend that I met at pride that a photographer took. It's us, hugging and kissing, in front of christian protestors. Both of us also had a our pride flags around ourselves. It was a feeling like no other. I felt like I was everything these garbage human beings hate, which is exactly what I want to be.
May this image serve as a giant fuck you to anyone who wants to deny our identities.
The one good thing about all these surveys trying to pretend that transphobia has been defeated among cis gay people is that I got to see an infographic that said that lesbians approve of trans people more than trans people do
I chuckled when I saw this
