Ppl dying their hair and wearing ‘punk’ clothes & having social cause pins but being visibly repulsed by homeless, broke &/or disabled people is embarrassinggg. I’m already goin outta my way to show ppl im not gonna sacrifice their dog to the devil. You are making this harder for me

Hauling my disabled ass up when someone asks for a seat on the train because one of the alt queers gotta. People take note of who helps them and who pretends they don’t exist. Dressing like someone cool doesn’t automatically make you cool, you gotta do the actions! What’s the BLM pin on your bag mean if you treat an old black woman asking for help like she’s an annoyance that will disappear if you ignore.

Obviously queer punk lookin kids are not the main group treating others like shit; I’m addressing them here because they are, theoretically, my peers. If you want a punk appearance to mean anything these days you gotta back it with action, being nice to people who are societally treated like shit will make you stand out more than clothes ever will

there should be a cartoon chomp sound effect whenever a bug bites you. in real life

for college i want to start making chimera plushies but i cant stand the idea of cutting up a plushie..

i cannot express how distraught this question makes me feel
