If there’s a story you want to tell, or you really want to make movies, there really is nothing stopping you - apart from not having friends. As sad as it sounds, that’s one of the biggest problems, like If you’re young and you really want to be a filmmaker, but if you don’t have a lot of friends who are willing to work with you, then you’re fucked.

For a city to be walkable. It must also be sittable.
when the author describes someone dying and you can just tell they’ve never actually died by the way it’s written
not my circus not my monkeys but thanks to my mutuals i know some of the lore
The safest place I've ever known is in your arms
number one thing i want for public bathrooms is for them to be unisex accessible safe private and clean. number two thing i want for pubic bathrooms is for them to have flat surfaces in the stalls you can put your handheld items down on when youre shittin. ive encountered it in like two bathrooms ever and it changed my life for real.
truly breathtaking just how many series would be massively improved if the author gave a shit about women
just saw a deactivated mutual's post on my dash. that's my dead wife's corpse you're all dragging around
I also reblog this guys dead wife.
That post about death note being "everyone's first anime" (untrue statement) made me curious and now I want to gather data for science
Can you reblog this and tell me where are you from and what was your starter anime?
what happened to "cool as fuck grandma" as a character trope. i miss "cool as fuck grandma"
tumblr isn’t considered a social media because everyone on here is just talking to themselves
yeah i agree
So as an artist who has been known to play a few instruments, I've been thinking about this recent thing radfems are doing, where they’ve decided, seemingly out of nowhere, to just wildly shit on ukulele music. And not just the music, but to brand it as “cringe transmasc music.”
And look, even if that wasn’t deeply racist, it would still be stupid. And wrong. But the fact is…
it is deeply racist.
The ukulele is a Hawai'ian instrument, descended from the machete de braga, a small Portuguese guitar brought to Hawai‘i in the late 1800s by Portuguese immigrants from Madeira. Hawaiian luthiers adapted and reimagined it into what became the ukulele. It’s a cultural symbol with a history of colonization, cultural appropriation, and resilience, born from the blending of immigrant traditions with Native Hawaiian artistry.
When you reduce it to some internet stereotype, you’re not just making a dumb music take, although you are also doing that, more importantly you’re participating in the long tradition of white mainland culture flattening and mocking Indigenous Hawai'ian traditions for sport.
It’s also worth noting that the ukulele’s popularity didn’t explode because it’s “quirky” or “internet twee”, it’s because it’s approachable. The instrument is physically small, light, and low-tension compared to guitars or violins. You don’t need huge hand strength to fret it, the (usually) nylon strings are soft, and it can be tuned in a way that’s forgiving for beginners. That makes it accessible to disabled musicians, kids, elders, and anyone without the privilege of formal music education. You can teach yourself entirely off the internet or even practice alone if you're dedicated.
I say this as someone who used to play violin and piano but now plays ukulele and ocarina because those are instruments my bad back and hand tremor will actually allow me to enjoy.
My own ukulele was an investment, imported from Hawai‘i, made of mango wood, rosewood, and bull bone. It’s a gorgeous instrument, it’s one of the most expensive things I own (a very spicy $500), and I cherish it deeply.
But here’s the thing: you don’t need a $500 ukulele to make beautiful music. You can get a perfectly playable one for cheap, especially secondhand.
That means this is an instrument that’s accessible to poor and working-class people, including those from marginalized communities who often don’t get the same access to “prestigious” music education or expensive instruments or expensive equipment and programs to make music digitally.
So when I hear someone mocking “cringe transmasc ukulele music,” here’s what I know immediately:
They’re definitely not an artist making art with any real value
They’re transphobic toward trans men and likely nonbinary people too
They’re ableist
They’re racist
They’re classist
And if someone is happy being a mediocre artist who’s also multiple kinds of bigoted, that’s their prerogative, but I’m not going to respect their opinion on art, or trans people, or disabled people, or Indigenous people, or poor people.
I genuinely don’t have much more to say. That’s it.
You make fun of ukuleles like it’s an aesthetic crime instead of a living piece of Hawai'ian culture and a vitally accessible instrument for marginalized folks, you’ve told me exactly who you are.
And I believe you.
i would fuck him [remembers im talking about a real person] um [remembers its normal to be attracted to people] i would fuck him
