sometimes I look at a fruit or vegetable and see how optimized it is and I'm just filled with love. ppl have the idea that edible plants are "organic" or have just sprung from the earth in their form but that's not true!! they were selectively bred for thousands of years by generations upon generations of people. that is love. that is faith. when you bite into a fruit you are eating the generations of labor instilled in it to make it just right for you

this is how much our ancestors loved us. this is all their struggles and all their hopes. this is how much our ancestors loved being alive

When Cary grant has to marry as to stop the rumours of their gayness he became very depressed, him and his wife divorced 13 months later

Also they reason said wife divorced Cary is bc Randolph “refused to leave” their home and Cary wouldn’t kick him out.

“I have a hard time accepting diversity as a synonym for justice. Diversity is a corporate strategy. It’s a strategy designed to ensure that the institution functions in the same way that it functioned before, except now you have some black faces and brown faces. It’s a difference that doesn’t make a difference.

Diversity without structural transformation simply brings those who were previously excluded into a system as racist, as misogynistic, as it was before.”

US Media: “The immoral Chinese peop- I mean, government says that their COVID19 deaths have been flattening due to heavy social distancing- but are they lying? Could these vulgar communists be trying to hide the disease they are spreading to us?”

The US, like a week later:

zvaigzdelasas

and remember don’t trust vietnam either and ignore all the vietnamese people telling you they’re doing well uwu they’re all paid stooges being paid billions of dollars to lie and hide the trillions of deaths caused by evil communism that so much of this website loves bc they’re edgy uwu

zvaigzdelasas

dont trust the evil scary commies cracking down on freedom uwu

children! avert your eyes from this scary evil brainwashed propaganda uwu

our government tried to bomb their government into submission for 12 years for saying these types of things. Let that sink in.

The US had had boots on the ground in Indochina since the early 50’s, and they were supportive of the french colonial war for years before. The US destroyed their own navy ship in Tonkin a decade into the war to justify their nearly 30-year colonial bloodthirst.

Let that sink in.

two essential skills for artists

“good enough” and “fuck it”

“good enough” is when you are working on something and are happy with most of it but can live with a few imperfections, useful when needing to move on from sketch to inking/coloring or what have you.

“fuck it” is when you absolutely hate what you’re doing every step of the way but you post it anyways, very useful during art blocks.

both are useful to help you move on and not obsess over making it perfect, because art is anything but perfect, even photo realistic artists probably see imperfections that someone else might not catch

these can also be applied to other things in life

trulywicked

I can tell you that this also applies to writing. I have several ‘fuck it’ fics I’ve actually posted.

rhubarbdreams

100% applies to any creative endeavour, and maybe a little bit to daily life, too.

gayedmundo

sometimes u just gotta say fuck it and enjoy your embarrassing interest like you’re still living in 2012

people reblogging this being like “me watching star wars” or “me watching mcu movies” as if those aren’t some of the most popular franchises in the world. that shit isn’t cringey no matter how badly written it can be. watch supernatural or steven universe or know what the fuck homestuck is about and THEN you are allowed to reblog this post

we’re the first generation to talk about how hard being an adult is - loudly, openly, and often. it scares the shit out of our elders because myths of perfection have been perpetuated since the dawn of civilization to maintain control but it’s liberating and reassuring and fucking fucking awesome.

dancinbutterfly

I’m bringing this back in case anyone needs to hear it.

BEING AN ADULT HAS ALWAYS BEEN HARD!

GenX and after just said “Hey let’s address how and why rather than glorifying suffering in silence or drinking through it.” The problems are the same, even this quarantine. The difference is for the first time in history we’re giving ourselves permission to talk about how we are scared or hurting and why.

We are not just in a racial and gender and economic and technological global revolution. We’re in an emotional and communication revolution too, one based on a terrifyingly beautiful sort of honesty.

Be patient. It’s not just that life is getting harder - although yes for some it is - predatory capitalism is real and effecting people negativitly but this is not the first time people have been oppressed. A big part of why otherwise normal adulthood seems so raw and dire is overall that we are refusing to hide our struggles anymore.
