Bigots unwelcome - I block liberally. 23. I HEREBY DECREE THAT ON THIS BLOG HALLOWEEN IS CELEBRATED FROM AUGUST 1ST TO NOVEMBER 30TH. JOINING THE WAR ON CHRISTMAS ON THE SIDE OF THE GOTHS. Owl/human bioterms. Writer of Small-Town Tales, Promise? and more (check out my writing and art over on @gracklekeyer2000) majoring in whimsy I LOVE MY WIFE *EXPLODES*

See below the cut for more information.

pt: If it's still 2026 when you're reading this and you see a post with a mature content label, send it to iamthelowercase via dm!

I'm the host of a mixed-origins system. Keep anti-endo shit off my blog and posts. If you see reblogs from my headmates, please remember that regardless of their source, they are now people, not characters, and should be treated accordingly - be respectful!

Bluesky: @cherish-all-birds.bsky.social - Hopefully Tumblr keeps running indefinitely, but I figured setting up a bluesky would be a good idea.

I love being tagged in posts, and I love seeing all the birds y'all show me. Sometimes I'm unable to reblog them for one reason or another though - this doesn't mean i appreciate it any less!

Big fan of the following:

Birds - Eye motifs in artwork - Infodumps - Stardew Valley - Reptiles - Bugs - Entomophagy (bugs but for eating!) - Fullmetal Alchemist - fun/weird music shit, especially homemade instruments, cellos, shredding on things you wouldn't expect to be able to shred on, and instruments that aren't super common in like. the kind of music I'd hear on the radio here.

Choosing a favorite bird is impossible but the aesthetics of the Tytonidae family fuck severely so I do have a separate tag for them (and also cause my theriotype is loosely based on them).

I'm a big fan of ask games, so I'll put any active ones down here. When sending an ask, please include the corresponding number so I know what to reference. Here's a list of ask games:

  1. Plurality
  2. Colors
  3. MLM asks
  4. Blorbos

Tag games/chains, on the other hand, I prefer not to do as I have dogshit memory and a lot of people on tumblr that I'd feel bad about accidentally leaving out. I'll still reblog them when tagged, just please understand that I won't be tagging anyone or continuing the chain and whatnot.

Adding this because apparently it might be necessary: i do not fucking consent to any of my posts being used for advertising or anything to do with ai. if you want to use my shit that badly you can fucking ask me and pay me, and only if i give consent.

Serious stuff below the cut.

i dont have the energy for a big marketing post but it's bandcamp friday 👀

i can do a little bit! Please consider buying something from Stars On The Ceiling - i could (and have!) listen to Cosmonaut's Music Box on repeat for literal hours.

Also consider the single Bee, which i always get emotional about. the concept of eldritch horrors bee-yond your comprehension deciding to nonetheless treat your tiny life with compassion and care despite it objectively meaning nothing to them, presumably because they decided it means something? hello? im going to start chewing drywall.

You Are Here and Headquarters both have some bangers - Stellar Nucleosynthesis and Alarm System (Amygdala) both come to mind, and he's also got a lot of really cool experimental stuff! I still have to go back and check out the lyrics for Penrose.

seriously go check it out! (idk if i can buy anything this bandcamp friday even tho i want to so bad, but if someone else can appreciate it and also support him that would mean a lot to me, on top of hopefully making his life easier.)

everything is getting worse and thats why it's SO so important that we have fun and hang out and play and im being serious im being unimaginable amounts of serious

Who the fuck pinions a coturnix quail, the stupidest of all earth's creatures, who waddles out of the hutch and tumbles off the edge of the hutch floor very much to its surprise, and then sits on the ground with visible frown emoji and question marks above their heads until they are gently uplifted in exasperation and placed back into their comfy home

how much escaping can you really do if you don't know where you are or what is going on at any point in your entire life because the single brain cell designated for your entire species got misallocated into an oak tree that now has a higher average IQ than you

why was this necessary what crimes did the bird's breeder think he would commit if allowed to have all of his bones

“But how is AI killing folks?”

- Skyrocketing energy costs due to AI data centers leading folks to not be able to afford cooling or heating

- Exacerbating the climate crisis

- AI being used in warfare & policing

- Using water that could instead be used for folks who need it

i have a suggestion

It pisses me off when people only count people killed outside of camps for ice kill counts. No ice hasn't just killed 4 people this year. People have been dying in camps and no one's said anything about it. They should count too. We should remember them too. They're victims just like everyone else.

unironically I will block you for saying “my Shayla” about your blorbo. The meme came from people mocking a Black man for crying for his daughter. When you say that about a sketch of Skinny White Dude #27 you are treating Black pain as a joke. I want to assume most people don’t know the context and wouldn’t use it if they did but too many of yall straight up do not care and would keep using it anyways

either way now you do know, so you can either be better or shut the fuck up

srry i was writing a course paper

i luv slugs

as a disabled person whose disability causes my to struggle with hygiene this has got me feeling some sort of way it's not immoral to be goopy, or stinky, or greasy, or incontinent. I Am Not Gross

Can a queer Chicana recovering from pneumonia and knee injury please get some help paying their bills?

Please, I have not gotten anything in nearly two months, and I still owe $600 for my pneumonia treatment!

So I got $19.93 (US) in my account 🙃

Thank you to the person who sent me $30 (US)!

I need at least another $100 by tomorrow morning!

I really need $100 today 🙏🏽

so i finally finished reading the dancing city and i have a request for you

if you're gonna throw one of these directly in my face, AT LEAST KISS THE DAMN THING FIRST

amazing work!!!! can't wait to see the next books :>

tumblr user who listens to bands like the beatles, chooses kindness, considers themselves to be anti-war, fights for the liberation of marginalised groups, advocates community resources and free services etc. you’re not a punk. you’re a hippie. and that’s okay.

I was unironically telling one of my best friends a week or so ago that more people need to like the idea of being hippie instead of mislabeling themselves as punk. Radical kindness is a hippie thing, not a punk one! Plus, if the hope is to be subversive and push against conservatism, as someone else said, your average conservative will be probably more offended by a hippie than a punk

That last point is an interesting one to bring up, because there’s been a wave of conservatives trying to reclaim punk for themselves, and a lot of people online have mocked this development as a paradox because “it’s impossible to be conservative and punk” but the problem is… punk is specifically an anti-establishment movement. Bigots usually (if not always) view themselves as the victims of targeted attacks on their freedom of speech or their right to live comfortably, which can easily breed anti-establishment sentiments, hence why Nazi punks have existed since the beginning of the punk movement itself. You don’t know which establishment a punk is against, and it might not be the same one as yours.

Hippies, on the other hand, are everything that conservatives hate. A movement that was built on body autonomy, sexual freedom, anti-war and total liberation is exactly what conservatives are shitting their pants over. Punks are easier for conservatives to hijack and claim, but a conservative wouldn’t touch a hippie with a barge pole.

This isn’t to undermine the punk movement as a whole, I just think it’s important for people to take off their rose-coloured glasses when it comes to a single music subculture and not treat it like the be all and end all of political activism, especially when it can lead to unknowingly sharing spaces with extremely dangerous bigots.

im so sick of unnecessary dinner scenes in movies 😡 every fucking movie they just want to titillate you with some food because they think you’re a dumb animal who just wants to see mashed potatoes bouncing. if its an IMPORTANT dinner scene where they explain lore then whatever i understand. but they shove useless meals into every movie these days and its disgusting

really? you don’t say

its true though sex scenes are bad and you only are defending them cuz you wont question that men put their fetishes into everything. movies by women literally just dont have sex scenes and if rhey do its not gratuitous and lasts two seconds or its played for comedy . Fuck you and your dinners idc bro

movies by women literally just dont have sex scenes
