Bury These Memories

Memory (they/she), 26

[burythesememories]

About Me!

Because Tumblr bios are TOO FUCKING SHORT ! ! ! :)

My name is Memory! I go by they/she pronouns, and I am 26 years old. (Minors, please DNI!!!) I live on the East Coast of the US.

While it feels kind of weird to just... list off my marginalization like bullet points, I'm going to include this because they are important parts of my identity that inform my worldview! I am queer, Jewish, chronically ill and neurodivergent (diagnosed OCD, ADHD, and autism). You'll probably see more of what that actually looks like for me personally by checking out the stuff I post. I am politically active in multiple facets of my life, so please don't be surprised to see content that centers around oppression (for me or others) and how we can fix things. I also literally have a degree in political science, so do not come on here looking to pick a fight regarding the humanity of other people- I will end it VERY quickly. (Zionist jews, DO NOT INTERACT!!! "Never again" means everyone, not just people that look like you and follow your faith. Palestinian people- literal children- deserve a chance for a healthy, happy future, and that should not be a controversial argument if you're as educated on the Holocaust as you claim.)

This is my personal blog where I post anything that is fascinating to me!!! Because I am who I am, that is A LOT of random, contradictory topics. Please expect consistent nonsense and weird facts and pretty pictures because I do not use queue (though I might start trying now that my brain is *supposedly* fully developed lol).

Some of the (many) things I care about/do include:

Politics

Writing

Journaling

Collaging

Reading

Art and photography

Science (mostly mycology and physics/astronomy stuff, but all science is cool science!)

History- and especially weird history

Witchcraft and divination

Video games (I play everything but I gravitate towards more story-driven stuff- current favs are Ace Attorney, Pokémon, and Animal Crossing)

Board Games/TTRPGS

Makeup and Fashion

Interior decorating

The horror genre in general

Memes

Word-vomiting opinions into the Void

FUN FACT: I kind of taught myself to throw knives over quarantine. Recruit me for your apocalypse crew today!!!

For Writeblr; current WIPs are abbreviated as MM, ETO, and SS. You might hear me talk about them!!! They are video game manuscripts, so slightly different from the average novel, but still chugging away.

For Witchblr; I'm a practicing folk witch of 10 years with an emphasis on family and ancestral lineage (Italian folk magic/Kabbalah) and divination! I love learning about other paths, though, so feel free to share!

Important Tags:

"memory says things sometimes" is for personal posts/me talking, I guess?

"fragments of memory" is for any creative writing/art I post here

"ffr" tag is "for future reference" for me, so please ignore if you see weird/random posts that don't fit the ~*vibe*~.

Talk to me, if you want!!! I'm sorry if I come across as awkward, but I always love to meet new people and make new friends. It may just take me a while yo reply, as I can get a tad overwhelmed with socializing since officially being diagnosed autistic. Glad to be back on this hellsite. :)

Older women are so, so beautiful, and older trans women are no exception. Celebrate the beauty of our elders! Celebrate trans beauty!

[stayingmachine]

I wanted to share some more of these, specifically trans women of color. The images I'm posting are from a project called To Survive On This Shore and it's an interview project. I am only posting a handful so it's so worth checking out!

This is Linda, 60

Alexis, 64

Helena, 63

Kendrah, 72 (!!)

Tasha, 65

It was deeply healing to me to discover this project. The site has selected photos and attached interviews and it's definitely worth your time. I didn't include any because the focus of this post imo is transfems but there are a lot of beautiful interviews with transmasc people too if you're interested! But that'll have to be another post 💖

for those interested, the photographer is Jess T. Dugan. The link to this particular project is as follows:

Occasionally forget people genuinely think capitalism is thousands of years old

[sylestial]

One time I was talking about Robin Hood with some coworkers and one guy was like “he was bad because the people he helped learned to expect handouts” and I wanted to be like… okay can you explain how that flawed capitalist propaganda applies to feudalism

[scallioncreamcheesebagel]

reminder that capitalism was literally invented in the 16th century

[tayefeth]

That’s an exaggeration. What was invented in the 16th century was mercantilism. Capitalism really dates for the beginning of the nineteenth century, with the rise of industry and cash crops over artisans and merchants. Vulture capitalism, with the notion that companies have no duties other than generating profit, is even younger.

[antique-scarecrow]

Capitalism is only 200 years old and I have to say, they have not been an impressive 200 years

[downtroddendeity]

I think a lot of this comes from the fact that most people don’t know the formal definition of capitalism. We all know the word, we’ve all seen the jokes, but very few people bother to actually define it unless they’re talking about political theory and philosophy, so it’s easy to end up with the impression that Capitalism = Money Can Be Exchanged For Goods And Services.

Capitalism is the economic system where most of the means of production (i.e. everything people need to have to make the stuff that everyone wants) are owned by private individuals or corporations, who then hire people to provide the labor necessary to produce things, with the intent of selling the output at a profit. It’s the difference between “you’re a carpenter and you make a chair and you sell it” and “you’re Richard Q. Richington who owns a chair factory, and you pay people to sell the chairs you paid other people to make and then all the excess money goes back to you.” There have been Richard Q. Richingtons on and off throughout history, but that being the norm for every single industry is a pretty recent development.

[antiterfbutch]

An alarming amount of people seem to think capitalism = all trade, and I don’t think that’s a coincidence.

Most of us will never know the agony of being a parent that does everything to provide for their child, only to keep coming up empty. Of the immense suffering and self-loathing that comes with being responsible for this little life, and feeling like you're failing: to keep them safe, warm, sheltered, fed. Of holding your child, your toddler, your newborn, watching them slowly waste away from that relentless, gnawing hunger you can't stop (one that you feel yourself). Watching as they howl in pain, and the hollowness that comes when your child becomes too weak even to do that. All the while being totally helpless to stop it because it's not up to you.

Most of us will only see the aftermath of such a thing: a parent carrying the far-too-light shroud of their child, pictured under a headline that details how starvation has taken hold of some given population. Distant and removed from us.

Except that it isn't. There are so many desperate parents who've run out of options, for whom this isn't some abstraction, who are asking—begging—us for our help. Just so they'll be able to buy some of the shit canned food left from the last aid delivery, and a couple loaves of bread to feed their children with. Extortionately pricey because of scarcity, but it's enough to keep their children in a state of "acute malnutrition" rather than "catastrophic hunger", so they'll pay anything for it.

Attacks on NGOs & prevention of aid into Gaza puts every single person there at risk of a slow death due to starvation. Especially children, like Samah's newborn baby boy, her little 2 year-old girl, and their big sister (who's only 9). But we can help. What's pocket money for us, is an invaluable lifeline to parents like Samah. At a time when so many seem to have decided to live in an alternate universe in which deliberate starvation and mass slaughter of civilians is acceptable, we have to do what we can to oppose it. Not to push it away, to ignore it, to decide it's been going on so long we don't care or that it's hopeless so give up, but to grit our teeth, dig our heels in, and say "no, seriously, what the fuck are we doing here?"

tldr: donate to Samah so she can buy food for her kids so they don't starve to death. please. and thank you. :)
