FLAWED BEAUTY

Words are spells. We create our own reality

[shisasan]

“When you notice that something in your personality is out of alignment and no longer recognize yourself as you that you used to be, you then might come to conclusion that this personality no longer serves who YOU truly are. One of the ways to go about it is to actively engage your imagination in the process of restructuring your core. First, (symbolically speaking) you shatter that personality to pieces like a bad mirror. Then you pick up the pieces and can clearly see that they don’t fit anymore and you can’t glue them back together. Then you shatter all of the remaining pieces again until they’re reduced to sparkly dust. After you collected the dust crystals you light the flames and throw everything you were able to pick up into the fire. When crystals melt and become one hot glassy liquid, you can then retrieve the liquid and pour it into any shape you desire and mold completely new structure as piece of art that perfectly reflects your new, shiny personality and thus new you is created with your very own hands.”

Reminder that the US is slowly committing genocide on Puerto Ricans through environmental racism and colonial repression.

[kyngthewyckedwytch-deactivated2]

Why does this only have so few notes?

[pansexuanarchy]

Because half the reblogs are fucking conservatives that dont know the definition of environmental racism and are more concerned with discrediting “democrats” than doing anything for anybody. They got up on their white people pedestal to derail the entire post about real colonial issues. Now everyone is just missing the point.

I just didnt want to spread their comments so I wont reblog from them, sorry. I needed to vent.

[youthincare]

Literally Puerto Rico is still under the responsibility of the U.S. government. You WOULD NOT see the government respond to white suburbaners with no fucking power for weeks with this:

[ video is Puerto Rico riots because of austerity cuts that are very severe. There are riot police everywhere. ] 

The austerity cuts are to pay off all the debts and build back anything that was ruined. “In most macroeconomic models, austerity policies generally increase unemployment as government spending falls... Austerity measures are used by governments that find it difficult to pay their debts.” 

The U.S. is the richest Empire in the world, it spends 20,000$ a second on maintaining this supremacy around the world. Yet it can’t find money to fix a few things in it’s own State. Hmmmm. Sounds deliberate.
