T-shirt that says "I'M SORRY FOR THE PERSON I BECOME WHEN I'M OVERHEATED"
I am so tired of short-attention-span, trim-the-fat culture. All writing advice these days is for how to write like Chuck Palahniuk. "Cut 'think', cut 'feel', cut 'wonder' - only action, only pushing forward, show and move and move and move." What if I could emulate this style, and still don't want to? What if I want to write like Henry James, with three paragraphs of introspective musings between each dialogue line? The music advice is, "make it shortform, make it Tik-Tok compatible, make it punchy, hit the refrain as soon as possible." What if I want that 10-minute prog rock piece? What if I want that symphony? What if I want it slow and luxurious and lazy? Movies. Series. Poetry. Bodies. Everything is "trimmed trimmed trimmed trimmed, stripped bare, you have three seconds to win me over, make it airport chic." I don't want to win you over, then, I guess. I want the fat left it. I want the pleasure and the indolence and the indulgence. Fuck this art-advice that's always "your art needs Ozempic."
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.
So we know land back is Indigenous sovereignty Native agency and Indigenous stewardship yes. Land back is them respecting treaties they promised to respect ages ago but didn’t. Land back is them respecting the agreements they made with sovereign nations but broke instead. Land back is us going back to our ancestral lands. Land back is referring to Indigenous land by native names not colonizer ones. Land back isn’t a ethostate or deporting people Or whatever fever dream settlers have that’s cuz of settler colonizer projection and guilt.
“If you're American, you've almost certainly heard about how Indigenous reservations were and are located on whatever land the US doesn't want anyway. That they're just a way to whisk away undesirables until the land becomes useful to the US. That's the two-state solution.”
Two state solution is living side by side with people that tried to exterminate you with land theft genocide ethnic cleansing and settler colonialism When we say land back We mean all land stolen by settler colonizers Not just half of it to appease colonizers or respectability politics
“it’s worth mentioning that the proposal of a “two-state solution” is exactly what was offered to the Indigenous peoples of the Americas by European settler colonizers as a peaceful way to coexist.”
Land back. Indigenous 🪶 agency, sovereignty, and stewardship. All land back. Turtle Island, Hawaiʻi, Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland), Sisam Moshir (Ainu term for mainland Japan), Ryukyu/Luchu (Okinawa), Samoa, Guahan (Guam), Papua, Éire(Ireland), Alba (Scotland), Borikén (Puerto Rico), Maohi Nui (French Polynesia of Tahiti Bora Bora and Marquesan Islands,) Aotearoa (New Zealand), Palestine Etc. Etc. End to all settler states.
i have a suggestion
why didnt you call the cops or cps?
how about this: when i was 9 and my stepdad beat me until i passed out and i told my friends at school, my teacher over heard and i was interviewed by cps. they also went to my house when i was at school. when i got home, my step father was waiting on the couch, and told me who visited him that day. he told me if i ever snitched again he would beat me to within an inch of my life.
how about this: my mother locked me out of the house when i was 14 and when i cried so loud the neighbors called the cops, the cop told me i should have been respectful of my mother who was trying to sleep.
how about this. the demon you know is less scary than the demon you don’t.
children in abused households are raised to fear the idea of being taken away. children in abusive households see that help makes things worse.
dont you ever blame an abuse victim for not going to the authorities.
yes this okay to reblog!
cpc + the cops are more invested in maintaining the social power of adults over children than they are in the wellbeing of those children.
If you know of a kid who’s being abused, just talk to them. Ask them how they feel about calling cops/cps before you even think of touching the phone. This includes “mandatory reporting” scenarios. Become a safe person for them to talk to about things that they don’t feel safe telling anyone else because anyone else will call the cops and very likely make things worse. Be someone who can offer comfort or advice when they need it. Be safety and stability for them in a chaotic and dangerous world. You may find a point where you can offer them a way out of the abuse, but only do so with their consent. They know their situation better than you do.

white people will literally be like if u arent nice to me Im going to become a nazi. and think they’re making a great argument
this stupid shit has been around for so long and it’s crazy to me there are still people with enough rocks in their brain to believe it. “Oughhhhh if you aren’t nice to you oppressors they’ll become bigots instead of allies” if someone’s support for marginalized groups hinges entirely on whether or not that group is niceys, they’re by definition not effective or useful allies and, by admission of this argument, an active danger to the communities theyre supposed to be allied with because they can Enter Bigot Mode the second they become displease

i appreciate the amount of people reblogging this despite me not really tagging this at all. im glad many of people feel the same anger i do.
Hi there. I’m Ansel’s sister. As you can see, we’ve been left a note. The only reason I’ve been able to find his account is due to a good samaritan calling the tip line and reporting it. Since I already have an active Tumblr, I told the police that I’ll sluice through everything (I’m under NO obligation to disclose anyone’s information or any private details to them. We’re simply in pursuit of leads on Ansel) instead of them coming in here and handling it.
The family was left a similar one on a hard drive last week. We’ve been searching - multiple heat seeking drones, cadaver dogs, search and rescue teams, state and local police, literally every resource available; and we have not found Ansel. There are statewide press releases. We believe he may still be alive.
Obviously this is traumatic, and I ask not to pry on any potential relationship you had with Ansel. If there is any information you have on close friends he may have gone to stay with, any locations he idealized "leaving" at, any steps he had taken in planning this, etc. please message me. anything at all it would be of immense help.
I hope you’re holding your own in the face of this kind of news. If it’s any consolation, we are almost certain he’s still alive, somewhere with someone.
this is @transfaguette 's sister, who as we know, killed himself or has seemed to have gone missing recently.
if anyone in the trans discourse tags can help her out to find her brother before its too late, please help her out!
if not, reblog, we'll find someone who can
Hi everybody.
My brother @transfaguette went missing last Tuesday. (5/12/26) The family was left a suicide note on a hard drive similar to the one posted on this platform 2 nights ago. His last known location was Chittenango Falls, New York, our hometown. You may have seen the selfie of him standing in front of the falls. The park was turned upside down by the most qualified personnel in the state, including SWAT and cadaver dogs. Ansel is nowhere to be found. You may have seen the news reports.
We suspect he may be alive somewhere with somebody. The police have been on top of this investigation 24/7 and have gone to every length to help us. There is one major piece missing to this puzzle that we feel could provide us some answers - his online presence. If you interacted with Ansel on Tumblr, X, and specifically Discord, *please* reach out to me. Accessing this information would require dozens of subpoenas that would take months. If you have any screenshots or anything you’d like to share, pm me and I will give you my personal number. If you would like to just talk to the police, you can call the tip hotline at 315-366-6000.
Take care of each other. Look out for each other. Thank you.
Really hate that most people don’t understand the difference between “self-expression” and “artistic-expression.”
I say this as someone who sells pottery, and many people who see my art assume I am using art as an outlet to “express myself.”
I am not.
I use art to challenge myself. A lot of what I do is the equivalent of doing a hard sudoko or a half marathon, answering the question of “can I do this?”
I use art to question things and explore ideas. Finding physical synthesis between concepts and working out a design to its end state.
I use art to make money. I make some things just because I suspect they’ll sell well, and I keep making them when they do.
This idea that an artist is “putting themselves out there” every time they create is not only stupid, but harmful, and it kills critique and analysis.
Yes every creative work is influenced by its creator, but the most preliminary step of analysis is to define the purpose of a work of art (functional, narrative, entertainment, persuasive, decorative, ceremonial, etc.) and a vanishingly small percentage of that is self-expression. Even then, it’s generally tied to the self’s relationship with something else—perception, society, etc.
It’s very tiresome to have people assume they know you because they like (or dislike) your art, to make assumptions about who you are and how you approach the world. It’s nothing new— people called the Impressionists insane and the Fauvists degenerate. And now people are expected to hand out their identities and traumas to prove they have the right to explore certain subjects.
But to actually understand art, you have to contextualize it beyond assuming it’s just what the artist felt like making at the moment and it’s somehow coming from their deepest soul, or you’ll badly misinterpret most art you come across.
if you go looking for doom and gloom all you will see is doom and gloom. if you go looking for reduced items at the grocery store you may find a littol treat
Happy pride month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
reblogging a funny low note count textpost on your dash made by your mutual's mutual kinda feels like walking up to two strangers on the street and laughing loudly at their joke
It’s kinda like this
did anybody else do this
starts talking about my emotional state with 2 degrees of abstraction instead of 7 and the sniper across the street who i pay to keep me in line fires a warning shot thru my little hoop earring
wait can someone explain what this means to me I really want to know
if i am candid about how i feel i will die like john f kennedy
one day i'll dissapear
