☀️Prayers of hope, tears of gold☀️

Duke when I hit him with the ‘growing up black so there’s casual Christianity throughout your life like saying grace and praying for safe travels’ beam💔. And his parents aren’t getting better so he tries something familiar to him, praying in the morning light so maybe whoever’s listening will see how good he is💔💔. My grandma would have me pray with her at night when I was little. Even though I’m not religious, when life gets hard enough and it feels like nothing else is working, I find myself praying just in case. I wanted it to look like Doug and Elaine’s hands were supporting him as well.

I think this is the first Duke angst I’ve ever posted 😋

What are you reading rn, why are you reading it, and what format are you reading it in (physical book, ereader, on your phone etc)

i'm actually curious, what trinkets do you guys have on your keychains? 🗝️

So many women have internalized the idea that being difficult makes people think less of them, when in my experience the opposite is almost always true. Every single time I have spoken up, voiced what I actually need and refused to shrink the moment in order to be more comfortable for everyone else in the room, I have been approached afterward by people who wanted to know me better. There is no reward waiting for you on the other side of making yourself smaller. People do not love you more for taking up less space, they simply get used to you taking up less space and adjust their expectations accordingly. Every time I have been exactly as audacious as the moment required, it has opened doors rather than closed them and I have made real connections directly because of it rather than in spite of it.

More than "here in the Southern Hemisphere we have inverted seasons :)" thing, which is TECHNICALLY true, I would go a step further and encourage to think about that "much of the world does not exactly has a spring-summer-fall-winter season sequence as they show in cartoons"

[paperdragonsong]

I will scream about this to anyone who listens forever. AUSTRALIA DOES NOT HAVE "ENGLISH SEASONS BUT BACKWARDS" and the insistence that it does creates a massive layer of alienation from the natural world.

I never really realised how much difference it makes until I went to England and realised that here the change of seasons is an obvious, visible, physical change in the world. Like, everything REALLY IS orange and foggy in autumn! In spring there are flowers EVERYWHERE, so much more than any other season, and the trees really do have all blossom and no leaves. Even if it doesn't snow, in winter there's frost all the time and the trees are bare and the sky is visibly greyer all the time. You don't need to be told "this date is the first day of spring", you can SEE IT (although this is getting way messier and less precise due to climate change).

By contrast, most places in Australia the seasons we're taught feel like arbitrary categories - and is it any surprise considering they're colonial constructs? Orange-leaved autumn and blossom-covered spring is a cartoon stereotype with no relevance on a continent where ALL NATIVE TREES ARE EVERGREEN!! Snowy winters are a joke in the desert, and even sunny summers don't ring particularly true considering that much of the country is in the tropics, where summer means monsoons - not that I've ever seen the concept that WE HAVE A MONSOON SEASON taught at an Australian school.

Most Indigenous nations around Australia had six or more seasons, revolving around wet and dry times as much as hot and cold, and marked by the appearances of certain native animals and flowers. Schools need to start teaching the real seasons, and explaining that climate cycles are too complex to generalise globally, or else we will keep raising generations who view the natural world as hostile and unpredictable and climate predictions as generally irrelevent and frequently wrong - and I'm sure I don't need to spell out why that's a problem in the era of climate crisis.

i want to add that 40% of the world's population lives in the tropics, and the 4 season model just doesn't make much sense for a lot of places in there. usually it's just the wet season/monsoon season and the dry season. it's often hot year round.

the 4 season model as you and i know it is a european invention, though 4 season models aren't unique to europe! most notably china has the same type of season subdivision.

in general the way humans define seasons is largely subjective and varies across cultures. the one you were taught is not at all universal!

[thelawfulchaotic]

This is different even across America; as someone who's lived in Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, and some of the mid-atlantic states in the past, Texas has summer and not-summer and Los Angeles has more flavors than seasons. My understanding of Seattle is that it has one season, and that is Wet.

Been a while since I lived in Chicago, but I recall Chicago's seasons as being Hot, Breezy Cold, Freezing Dark, and Overwhelming Relief.

[darkladynyara]

Seattle and the rest of the Puget Sound region actually has two seasons- Wet and Dry. It's just that the Wet part is longer and also iconic. (The rainy season is officially October through April but really more mid-September to mid-May)

trans poc, please i beg of you get transition inspo of people with your ethnicity

i was incredibly dysphoric about my round face and softer features until i started looking at the faces of hispanic men and realized that those features weren’t feminine at all, they were ethnic features white supremacy had conditioned me to see as less masculine

your ethnic features are beautiful, and you do not need to look european to look masculine or feminine
