Guys!! We don’t like everyone!
A lot of people assume pansexual people are infatuated with everyone they see. Like, how many times have you heard this:
“You’re pan? Do you have a crush on me?”
Like, do straight men have the hots for every woman? NO! So there’s your answer. We don’t like everyone.
We aren’t normal!! Just because we function well doesn’t mean we don’t need support.
‘High-functioning’ means functioning - not thriving. People with high-functioning autism are often denied support because their grades are fine, their work productivity is fine, or they aren’t showing obvious signs of struggle. For this reason, high-functioning often comes hand-in-hand with high-masking - and that just worsens the problem. It’s an endless cycle of masking and denied support.
We don’t have more energy, we just don’t know how to pace the energy we have!
We aren’t hyperactive - we have just as much energy as anyone else! We go crazy and then crash because we can’t regulate our energy as well.
“I love men but in an mlm way”
Not everyone who says this is in denial about being trans. I think the women long for a relationship without gender roles. It’s not a fetishisation. What it appears to me, becuase I understand this, wanting to be with men. But not wanting the societal pressure to be submissive or the engrained gender roles within a lot of straight men.
In a lot of mlm relationships portrayed in film and books men are also allowed to be vulnerable. They’re allowed to be soft and not in control.
Again in straight relationships there is an engrained ‘balance of the universe’ where for decades if not centuries men are expected to be dominant, providers, and not show weakness. Whereas women are expected to be submissive, homemakers, and stay quiet while the men are talking.
Loving a man in an mlm way is loving a man without bounds. It’s never being afraid of societal pressure, stereotypes and gender roles.

A lot of modern shows just feel like I walked into a downtown LA cafe.
The diversity quota is very dumb. If you want to make a show that has a great amount of diversity in race and sexuality, at least put it in a setting where that is realistic, and make any reveals of character’s sexualities be believable. Not everyone is comfortable in saying “Hello, everyone, I’m gay, my name is Clayton.” Or something like that.
The stereotypes with gay men characters is also kinda dumb.
the only person I ever met with a Boston accent is my third grade English teacher. Ive meet more people with Cuban accents than Boston.
Cowboy, 2026
The cowboy has long been one of the most powerful symbols of masculinity in Western culture: tough, self-reliant, untouchable.
In this work, the stereotype begins to shift and the certainty of that image starts to fracture.
External appearance does not define masculinity. The symbols that construct it reveal themselves as roles — social projections repeated until they appear natural.
Masculinity may not be an identity, but a role we have learned to perform.

Let fear confuse them…
People may define you from a place of fear and misunderstanding.
We may judge one another’s words and actions, on limited interaction, to gain social control. Like stereotypes, our definitions of each other are based on some fact and some fiction. I’m interested in the facts just as much as the fantasy. Why do we view all black people as one way, all white people as another and et cetera?
Like limerence between strangers, stereotypes can leave us disconnected and connected at the same time. We care enough to pay attention but not enough to invest attention. How do we turn down the stereo and code out of code-switching?
A Few Quick Facts Episode 9: Japan
Written by P. D. Eastman & Dr. Seuss
Directed by Osmond Evans
Animated by Robert Cannon & David Hilberman
Layouts by Zack Schwartz
DISCLAIMER: This is a product of World War II, be warned that there’s a lot of stereotyping against Japanese people, and I mean against them as it’s clearly made out of malice rather than just ignorance like the Censored Eleven. Please understand that this is a product of the time back when we’re against Japan.
Even canva thought therian stereotypes were “true”… like tell me why there is an image of a therian or otherpaw or whatever, like infront of animal/pet food?
Fun fact:
The word “y'all” isn’t only used by southern USAmericans! ☝️
It is a contraction of “you” and “all” and is popularly used in other countries.
Try not to get caught being accidentally US-CENTRIC 🤪 by assuming someone is USAmerican because they use “y'all”
MGM Cartoons 1938 Episode 1: Little Ol’ Bosko in Bagdad
Written by Jonathan Caldwell & Walker Harman
Directed by Hugh Harman
Animated by Robert Allen, Pete Burness, Rollin Hamilton, Thomas McKimson, Jim Pabian & Carl Urbano
Music by Scott Bradley
DISCLAIMER: This short is Bosko’s final appearance in the golden age of animation, not appearing again until the Tiny Toon Adventures episode Fields of Honey in 1990. He still carries his hideous redesign however, but thank goodness it’s the last will ever see of it. Now there are still MGM cartoons after this that still feature outdated social views, so, keep an eye out on that.
