All links/what to call me here*

What is this blog?

I try to keep a fair balance of originals and reblogs. Common tags: "originals" (writing/poetry, jokes, and occasionally reblogs where I added something), "tag talk", "helpful", "important", "resources", "described" (when something has an accessibility description), fandom/topic tags, and my fav- "incorrect lyrics".

Interests: music (genre agnostic), cosplay, art, archiving, activism, and punk culture.

I dont post anything genuinely Not Safe For Work (could get someone in trouble at just a glance) but if you want to be extra safe I recommend turning off "suggest posts liked by blogs you follow" in your dash preferences settings. I tag anything borderline as "nsfw" just in case, except for sex ed which is tagged "sex ed".

I need Trigger Warnings, and tone indicators are greatly appreciated! If you reblog from me the TWs should be right there in the tags, PLEASE use them!

If I have a reason for doing something Ill just tell you, so assume genuine intent. Also I dont tag organize any of those rules type posts but Im super chill! You can spam like, like old posts, talk to me, rb personal posts, etc. If I dont want something reblogged I would just turn reblogs off, otherwise I specify things like "do not tag" which means no maintags but your individual organization tags are fine!

Cosplay/alt fashion accounts:

instagram

tiktok (currently deleted off my phone for safety)

Thank you, Black people in fandom spaces. Thank you, Black creators and Black lurkers. Thank you Black artists, Black writers. Thank you, Black bloggers, Black influencers. Shoutout to those Black characters, both canon and original. Thank you, Black people, both queer and cishet.

Your perspectives matter. Your representation matters. You are not bothersome for demanding equal treatment in fandom. It is not your responsibility to make fandom more welcoming and inclusive to you. It is not your sole responsibility to create all of the Black-centered content. You are not "ruining" anyone's fun for demanding better for yourself, and anyone who says otherwise can go fuck themselves. Any fandom worth being a part of should have no room for racism in it.

Black people in fandom, you are wanted. You are needed. You are loved and appreciated. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

And since they don't get told it near enough, thank you, Black women especially!!!

I want to recommend Odd Luck, a new emo band out of Providence, Rhode Island. The bass player, Quinevere, is Black and extremely cool and talented, and they just released their demo album on Bandcamp: https://oddluck.bandcamp.com/album/demos

Well alright, that's quite a name to start!

Groceries is a neverending cycle of "fuccck theres so much food in the fridge I have to use before it goes off" and "fuccck theres no food in the fridge I have to go shopping again and get more"

just wanted to share a group of (as their name suggests) some Black string queens! the link is broken into 2 because tumblr doesn't like links in asks, their channel is also just named "the string queens" https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=fO05disYkhg

NICE!!!!!!! Black women AND stringed instruments???

[creatingblackcharacters]

ALWAYS forget Sundays are for sharing Black creators on here and keep forgetting to submit the ones I like so!! Several in one ask if that's okay

https://m.youtube.com/@TheWeightedCape/shorts <- Black owner of a barber shop centered towards children with sensory needs (runs on donations!)

https://m.youtube.com/@itsnotquitevanlife/posts <- posts videos about her life as a nomad / houseless traveler and posts music! She has a link in their YouTube description to a link tree for ppl who want to support her. She's ALSO currently in the hospital and has a gofundme (https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-a-homeless-traveler-get-emergency-medical-care?attribution_id=sl%3A874b799b-ab95-4315-830d-76538c225540) that is currently fully funded, but extra money towards her wouldn't hurt!

https://m.youtube.com/@monroviaboy/videos <- folk artist from Libya! I like his music a lot and its very calming <3

Oh that's so nice. I remember watching a video years ago of a Black autistic child in sheer agony as like, four adults held him down to forcibly cut his hair. And all anybody did was say he needed to be beat. Like, CLEARLY he's in distress, what is wrong with you people?? So this brings me belief that there's hope.

Nova Black

hey, I'm just a not so local folk (&) punk makin' nomad

I remember her! I have a video of her saved for references.

Mon Rovîa

More people should get into poly shipping. Both because polyamory is awesome and because it's really fun to make complicated ass diagrams

[nudityandnerdery]

Just a casual reminder that posting on the internet about how you would want to do physical harm to members of the US government is something that they can (and will) detain you over, so just be careful what you say in public spaces like, uh, on Tumblr.

[nudityandnerdery]

I have got bad news for you about how connecting to the internet works and how corporations will respond to requests from the government.

[hearthfire-heartfire]

this is your semi-regular reminder that tumblr has cooperated with the fbi to hand over user information in a very public way at least once. and that's not the only way the feds can collect information on you either

may I suggest the song Not Tonight by pro pittman for Black Boy Joy June !! i haven't looked much into the artist but I heard this song through an edit on tiktok and it speaks a lot about struggling with addiction and pulling through despite! there's another song of his called mens mental health which at first made me nervous due to the stigma around that statement but from what I could understand about it it's about working through and unlearning toxic masculinity and learning that reaching out for support isn't a bad thing !! Not Tonight was written beautifully and it made me super happy to hear :D

Thank you for sharing!

Can I give a shout out to a Brazilian photographer I adore? Rafael Freire @orafafreire on Insta, he's a Black Brazilian photographer that mainly focus on portraits of Black models. His photos are amazing. Sadly he lost his original account about a year ago that had much more material, but you can still see many of his pictures on his newer account.

Here's some of his works:

Oh these are PEAK I see why you love him!! They're so colorful and rich and dynamic! The one where the lady holds the flower to the sky feels religious almost, like it's that powerful. Oh I'm happy you shared these, this made my day. Afro Brazilians stand up!!

Have you heard of the YouTuber Zay Dupree, he does linguistics and sociology mainly https://m.youtube.com/@zay_dupree/shorts?ra=m

zay dupree

linguistics and such @zaydupree everywhere else

Okay that is who I thought it was! Yes I've heard of him! Tbh, this is who everyone should look up every time they have an "is this AAVE" question for me, because he's actually got the background depth to discuss it!
