This article doesn't talk specifically about appropriation of AAVE, but it does talk a bit about its history and importance in a way that I feel should be easy to understand.
@fnafluffy As a white gay!! Until about 2023?? I had no idea that a lot of "gen z slang" was AAVE, until I saw callout post somewhere. Sometimes that's what it takes for someone to reflect on their actions and do further research/educate themself, so I don't really see any problem with it.
@fnafluffy *any problem with Annabelle's post, to be clear. I've also seen comments saying it's not just white gay men, but at least where I live, I DO see mostly white gays misusing the language.
@ServeTheServine Them laughing or smiling while the other person is obviously in distress makes me feel nauseous. I feel like there are kind and sweet ways to get a reaction out of someone?? Or even startling ways that don't cause a ton of damage??? This is such a gross trend
@bughoax I can assure you that this is NOT ass!!! This may actually be my favorite bright heart design ever!!! Also your lineart is so lovely it feels so alive🫶
@Brokenwingyiluo And I can't wait to see more of your artwork. We are our own worst critics, and our taste in artwork often exceeds our own skill-level, which can blind us to the beauty that we create. Please know you are doing amazing, your artwork and skill is something to look up to, too🫶
@Brokenwingyiluo I don't know if this helps at all, but I've only just found your account and my first impression of your work is absolute awe and admiration. Your grasp of values, shapes, colors, and composition are absolutely incredible. Your painting style is enchanting (1/2)
@carnieflower@clvbsick And yet many of these pet owners argue that it's inhumane to keep their animals indoors or that their dogs are "just like that". Or that the obvious separation anxiety issues are "cute". ughhhhhhhg it makes me so angry. I could rant about it forever but I am restraining myself😭
@carnieflower@clvbsick There is so much ignorance and laziness. There's so much evidence that shows quality of life is drastically improved when you keep dogs/cats indoors, and when you train them for safer behaviors (stay, recall, remaining calm when you enter their space, etc).
@carnieflower@clvbsick And truly it is not the fault of the animals, it is the lack of care from their owners to put in any sort of effort to train them, keep them safe, and be responsible.
@carnieflower@clvbsick I get this 100% oh my god both the cats and dogs thing. I mean I love the animals but the owners need to get their shit together. Cats are slaughtering the local birds that hang out in my yard, and dogs are going off-leash chasing my squirrels. Some people shouldn't own pets!!
