Intro!

Aleks, he/they, 25. Loves history and cats! Floating between hyperfixations. Too ace to give a damn. DNI if you are: racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic/twerf/swerf, ableist, proship, in support of trump/any and all alt right figures, support cops, say "all lives matter", islamophobic, antisemetic, think pedophilia/grooming is ok, think that lgbtq people are pedophiles/grooming children, think that pronouns are being pushed down children's throats, if you support russia/putin against ukraine, if you support the genocide on palestinian land, if you think that indigenous people should "get over" the fact that they were "conquered"/"they lost"/don't support land back and rematriation of indigenous lands artifacts and peoples, if you support the ban of hijabs/burqas, if you support the taliban/isis, if you think nazis deserve to speak (more will be added to this list)

Cute little rainbow heart for pride month tumblr but how about you stop disproportionally banning trans women and marking sfw queer posts as mature

This one's gonna be a real shotgun to the face. (Or maybe not, who knows. In the face of the Internet I am nothing more than an atom swallowed by the abyss). So if we both leap back in time, you may or may not recall 'thelatinlibrarian', also known as Myla, also known as the local dark-academia-centered freak that was big on poetry and literature and pretty pictures off of Pinterest. Hello, that is me. Now I do not know if I recall properly, but I believe you were the individual that also spoke Russian (still have not lost that ability, but damn you North America, we sure are getting close). Anywho! Was talking to someone about the days of my grandiose online presence, and thought, "hey why not, lemme go see where everyone's at". Would you happen to know the tags of anyone else I'm familiar with? I recalled Dove's (battleofbunkerhill), but she seems to be deactivated now. Not many usernames I know off the top of my head. Anyways. Toodles.

hi myla, i believe i remember you! apologies if i don't remember everything, i have a lot of memory issues. are you talking about the amrev folks? i need to find the blogs myself via searching my tumblr archive.

it’s such a basic part of the reality of disabled people as a whole but it’s STILL so hard to get ppl to understand that some people will simply die without 24/7 care. their care is not for comfort, it’s not for fun, it’s literally a matter of life and death. “if their care was taken away i’m sure they’d learn to suck it up like the rest of us!” – something ive heard time and time again. no they wouldn’t, they would die. they HAVE died. they continue to die as cuts are made to welfare and health. why is this so impossible for people to grasp.

happy juneteenth but dont forget that prisoners are legally allowed to be subject to slave labor and also black people are disproportionately arrested and subjected to that legality. happy juneteenth but slavery still lives in america. america is still dependant on slave labor.

"Over 4,100 corporations profit from mass incarceration in the United States."

"Around 63,000 inmates produce goods for external sale...from farm work and manufacturing to call center and distribution services."

"In Oklahoma and Mississippi, [work release] is not restricted to inmates. Oklahoma uses defendants sent to rehabilitation programs to process chickens at a private facility for no pay... Mississippi has ‘restitution programs’ where it sends people to work off debts owed to the state by acting as a temp agency for a number of industries."

"...federal immigration detention centers rely on the labor of civil immigrant detainees to lower their operating costs. The large prison corporations running the centers – like CoreCivic and GEO Group – are currently facing lawsuits, alleging that they employ deprivation schemes, where detained immigrants are forced to choose between living without basic necessities or working for sub-minimum wages, and then are threatened with punishment for refusing to work."

[plushiekush-deactivated20250830]

white ppl will steal every aesthetic from black culture and then call it something so stupid like bo derek braids instead of box braids or hasbin hotel core instead of black southern dandism. yall will bend over backwards to call my culture barbaric/scary just to drool over the aesthetic the moment no actual black people are involved (21 pilots vs actual reggae). And if ur white/nonblack reading this just reblog. I dont need any comments talking about how not racist you are + speaking up over actual black people.

Juneteenth is about Black people who were officially technically supposed to be freed from enslavement. Nobody else. Nothing else. It's not a POC day. It's not a "freedom for all" day. It's Black folk, Black culture, Black emancipation, SPECIFICALLY. Any other observation for Juneteenth is gentrification.

[neshatriumphs]

Your Juneteenth reminder that just because they made it a "national holiday," it's still not. It's for the celebration of Black Americans being freed from slavery, finally.

It's from Texas. We been welcoming other descendants of the enslaved. But we close the gate and draw the line with "everybody."

[neshatriumphs]

Bringing this back on Juneteenth because making Black observations a national holiday didn't and doesn't end racism and the nonblacks are more insufferable than they have been in my lifetime about Black American people and our things.

Happy Juneteenth to those whose lives would not be actively free without the day happening. See the rest of you tomorrow.

St. Marsha P. Johnson (art by me)

It's been two years since I painted her. For Pride Month, I decided to revisit this piece and write a companion essay going over the symbolism of the illustration alongside details of Marsha P. Johnson's life and spirituality, as well as a closing note on uncertainty and the unknown. It is now available on my Substack, which is 100% free.

i truly think that this recent trend of “if you relate to a post about a different identity than your own you are ~derailing~ and taking over the conversation” is incredibly harmful.

i recently experienced some pretty severe transphobic abuse in my workplace (children’s home) that included having food thrown at me, being called slurs, being told i was a pervert because i am trans. one of the managers talked with me afterwards and shared that he had had a similar experience as an Asian man. this wasn’t him derailing my experience, or talking over me, or making things about himself. he was communicating “hey, i know how it feels and how much it sucks. you’re not alone.”

THAT is what solidarity IS. i don’t know what it’s like to be Asian, he doesnt know what it’s like to be trans, but we both had a similar experience and we were able to turn a horrible experience into an opportunity for bonding and comfort.

stop looking at people’s attempts as solidarity as an attack. and hey, you never know - you could find an opportunity to grow closer to other people.

It is not nearly common enough knowledge that most Native tribes in the U.S. don't actually own all of the land within their reservation. There are millions of acres of reservation land that tribes don't legally own and they have no control over how that land is used. Like, there are a lot of different concepts tied in with the land back movement, but a major one is literally just getting reservation land back into tribal ownership.

I keep saying there are literally millions of good reasons to wear a respie in public, and people keep ignoring me.
