🌅 🌌 - Welcome to My Blog!

I've been on Tumblr for a few months now, and it's been a bit of a learning curve getting used to a new platform. I'm still exploring what I want my Tumblr experience to be, but as of right now - I primarily reblog fandom things. Sometimes I have a thought, but only when I have a brain lol.

🏳️‍⚧️ Trans Rights Are Human Rights.

🖕Fuck terfs.

✊🏿 Black Lives Matter.

🍉 From the river to the sea.

Top five fandoms I currently reblogs from:

Batfam (with a Robins focus)

Percy Jackson

EPIC the Musical

Legend of Zelda (specifically BotW/TotK and Echoes of Wisdom)

TMNT

Current other fandom things I reblog (with revolving intensity):

Resident Evil (RE9 focus with Leon and Grace)

Kpop Demon Hunters (Polytrix beloved)

Transformers

Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss

Danny Phantom

MLP

Pokemon

Gravity Falls

Musicals (Wicked 💚)

Cult of the Lamb

???

Idk, I'll add more to this list as I recall.

Queer, disability, and vaguely political stuff will also circulate here.

*I am so sorry for all the American political shit. I will not stop, but I am sorry.

ALSO SHARKS! I love sharks, typically I'll reblog other ocean-y things but SHARKS all the way.

So...enjoy my eclectic curation?

you notice over time that some people clearly understand the concept of thinking critically about the media they consume and who its created by but dont want to do the critical thinking themselves so they just like. wait for people on the internet to tell them what theyre allowed to like in order to keep their Good Person score high or whatever. which doesnt seem very productive to me i think.

i would rather see the information for an event handwritten in sharpie on a paper towel than see another AI generated flyer

white europeans calling race an "american construct" when their ancestors invented it to justify chattel slavery always makes me feel insane

I can't believe home depot literally produced a wildly successful science fiction musical and we all just pretend it didn't happen. on one hand yes it had a boring white guy main character but like.... home depot just... Made it? And it had shit ton of box office sales? and no one even talks about this. this is like avatar (2009) all over again

[indigobuntings]

OK so. After a lot of frantic googling I realized this was all a dream. home depot did not in fact produce a wildly successful science fiction musical. I was on allergy meds and took a nap and my brain simply prophesized this. slightly disappointed because I wanted to watch it.

i know folks are gonna call me a pedo for this one, but i grew up seeing my mom and grandma naked. they had health issues and at times needed care and help showering. and i truly think more kids need to be shown the nonsexual reality of naked women at a young age. there is nothing sexual about my grandmothers breasts, they were simply body parts. more women die of heart attacks because people are too afraid of breasts to do real chest compressions, because they are scared to touch their breasts. the sexualization of our bodies literally kills us. i need people to be more normal about naked bodies and i'm 100% serious.

people hate it when i say "black people getting cancer is racist" but im literally fucking right because systemic racism has led to chemical dumping being acceptable in black/brown neighborhoods and black people have higher rates of cancer as a result

Repost, now do your honors.

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

#'this is present in the text' is often a good first step #but those second and third ones (naming it; describing its function) are vital (via @elucubrare)

happy pride month to those in the closet. to those who went back into the closet. to those who have unsupportive families, friends and relationships. those who were bullied and harassed because of their identity. those who were killed because of who they truly were and loved.

you are loved and appreciated.
