i have not been on here because tumblr makes me anxious and depressed af and i have very little good memories tied to this site that have not also been ruined by this site. im on twitter i guess but its only a shell of a once prolific online existence just like this is. anyway im pretentious
ur art cant be stolen if u dont put it anywhere which is why i have not posted art here for ~2 years and continually delete and remake art accounts on every site i am on every 6 months

no offense but let bisexual girls talk about boys like… y'all praise us when we gush about other girls but when we mention a cute boy y'all call us straight… like how do you expect bisexuals to feel comfortable with themselves if you only show validation for part of their attraction?? it just doesn’t make sense??
now that this has notes i just wanna add that calling bi girls ‘lesbians’ when they talk about girls is also gross

Please Reblog I'm Begging You
Please…. I don’t have any money for my medication to keep me alive which has run out, for my internet bill, or for rent. I was disabled very suddenly from a heart problem and I’m working to get care for it, but currently unable to work even though I need to support my roommate and two cats.
My PayPal is [email protected] and I have a donate button on my blog.
be careful who you call ugly in middle school because they’ll probably always be insecure about themselves because those are very formative years in child development
suicide baiting for sexual favors is probably the grossest shit predators do, and while i think as a 26 year old i have no place reblogging this call out and shit, id just like all my minor followers or just anyone to know that when someone does that to you, they are doing evil. that’s what theyre doing. it doesnt matter how sad they are. they’re doing evil.
therealklt:
Look, we’re getting into this nonsense again, but don’t talk about Ghost in the Shell. Don’t reblog gifsets, trailers, negative reviews, or funny memes. There is no such thing as bad publicity, and we need to stop being trash media’s marketing team. Let that movie fade into obscurity before it ever has a chance to shine. Focus on things that you’re looking forward to. Build buzz about things that are worth it.
a lot of rhetoric ive seen going around the last few days comes so close to implying that people will not deserve liberties or rights they are currently being denied, or ones which will soon be denied to them, unless they do a Minimum Amount of Correct Activist Work to Change the System
this is like the worst possible way to misunderstand the point of activism
the point of activism is that EVERYONE DESERVES THESE THINGS AS A MATTER OF COURSE and YOU ARE DETERMINED TO TRY TO HELP THEM GET THESE THINGS.
most of the hardest-hit people will not be able to do the work you’re claiming is compulsory in order to be Allowed to Deserve their Liberties
stop talking like you’re speaking only to people who are capable of doing these things. stop talking over our heads at each other. stop acting righteous and smug. stop stop stop stop stop
If they switch their votes to stop Donald Trump, they could face fines and legal fees.
Everyone’s seen the petition imploring electoral college voters to follow the popular vote, which would deny Trump the presidency. This is a brief and informative article about the reality of what we’re asking electors: if they vote against the electoral college, they will face fines and perhaps legal prosecution.
On average, the fine is about $1000. What we need to do, more even than spread the petition, is:
Start contacting electors en masse and make the argument that Trump, who did not win the popular vote, is unfit for office
Raise money to help the electors pay any fines that may incur for voting against their party
Find a way of doing this in a united fashion, ideally within the framework of a nonprofit organization
It’s a long shot, but not an impossibility, and every action we take moves us closer.
that safety pin shit seems like a bad idea tbh especially since i saw messaging about how it’s been coopted/infiltrated by fascists before i saw anybody proposing it seriously
wear a rainbow flag or a blm tshirt or both like
we dont have to hide yet
heres my idea: if you see someone getting hassled by fascists help them out regardless of what u are wearing
A federal judge has ordered bottled water must be delivered to Flint residents unless officials can prove there is an operating, properly-installed water filter in their home.
Some good news for y’all. The ACLU won a victory the other day in Flint Michigan. What do you want to bet that the cost of having to supply residents with clean water will inspire change pretty quickly?
Please donate to the ACLU if you haven’t already. You can probably spare $10. Give them $10. It goes so so far.
ACLU does what the governmon’t
I wish every white person at one of these protests would commit to doing one-on-one relational work with other whites to deal with their racism
This frustrates me because I’m in a very “liberal” academic space and my white classmates are always having lil breakout groups to discuss allyship, meetings to talk about how they can support black and brown efforts and organizing
But they seem to have zero idea how to actually talk about racism to other white people who don’t already agree with them
I was talking to a classmate today who told me he “felt bad” because his parents and siblings voted trump
And I’m just like: what’s the fucking point of doing all this chatting about allyship if you can’t even sit down and reason with the people closest to you.
Why are you always looking to us for a free education on race when you just compartmentalize that shit or use the insights to get closer to other poc
I think I can add something here as a piece of advice on how to go about this:
I work with a mix of people who carry a wide array of political viewpoints. I work closely with a guy in his 60s who tends to lean Republican on most issues.
One day, I was in a car with him and another colleague, around my age. The conversation diverted into entitlement spending and race. Us 20 somethings were on one side of the issues and a 60-year-old white guy was on the other.
After hearing him rant for a bit, I calmly asked, “Hey ____, what’s so wrong with those living in the projects getting unemployment benefits?” I let him answer and then posed another question off of his response. I kept calm and kept letting him speak, then asking follow-up questions. Eventually, he was calm and I could tell he was satisfied that I heard his point and where he was coming from. I also noticed that his views became less and less extreme every time I posed a question. His emotions were subsiding and he was critically thinking about each question. So, I expressed my position of how certain people are exposed to certain opportunity and race plays a major role in exposure. I related to people we both knew. I related to stories of friends that he didn’t know. I asked him, again calmly, if that perspective changes anything.
He kind of grumbled something and we arrived at our destination, ending the conversation.
However, the next day he came in and stated that he gave my position a lot of thought and felt like I brought up a lot of great points. He said was willing to think about these things.
I was COMPLETELY taken aback. I realized that my conversation was effective. I honestly don’t know who he voted for or if there a major impact on his thinking, but something changed enough for him to thank me and bring up a willingness to change, albeit how small.
So I guess my advice would be the following:
1) Have people re-examine their own thinking. Don’t tell them how to think or haw you think. Ask them questions that have them explore their thought process.
2) Relate your position to shared experience. Put a face and a name to the marginalized group. Don’t let them go to the ‘well they’re the exception’ answer. Go back to 1) and ask them questions.
3) Stay calm. Like 100% be calm. Disarm their emotions and don’t escalate with your own. This gives them an opportunity to think rationally rather than emotionally.
4) Don’t do it to feel good about yourself. Do it because it’s the right thing. If you are white/male/straight/cis, you need to do this for those who are not. Keep your thoughts on the marginalized and not making yourself feel good or ‘not like them’. This is not about you.
5) On the flip side, understand white poverty and what is going on in the manufacturing industry. Get the other viewpoint, even if you don’t think it’s worth empathizing with. Just understand that issue. Keep it in the back of your mind when asking questions.
I honestly don’t know if this will work in every circumstance or is enough. I feel like I made a change in someone’s way of thinking. I thought it was worth sharing.
Thank you for this.
