I actually went out and took pictures of my doll in the snow today!!!

Shout out to the Overwatch fandom for not being able to contemplate that not going out into sunlight or losing all one’s blood doesn’t magically make a naturally dark-skinned individual turn white as a piece of paper. You can make skintones look “undead” without actually making them white. It’s not rocket science.

Y'all are trying really hard to come at me for saying they coulda made Symmetra look like a vampire without turning her white. Or you know what woulda also worked? A totally different concept. But Blizzard made the choice to turn a dark-skinned Indian woman white, when real-life Indian women who look like Symmetra face pressure every day from a society that insists that dark skin is ugly and that they’d be prettier if they were lighter.

Media doesn’t exist in a vacuum and this is a shitty message to send.

It's amazing to me that somehow, in every culture, there is some type of pressure to change skin tone.

Like, do we all want to be the same shade of mediocre beige/nude.

I don't even know what skin us anymore, we abuse it so.

Petition to have Tumblr actually do something about porn blog bots following users.

• It’s annoying. • It gives an imperfect metric for how many followers you have. (I would estimate about 25% of my “followers” are porn blogs run by bots). • It makes pulling up your activity page iffy even if you use Tumblr strictly for SFW content. • It’s problematic for individuals who have struggled with sex and/or pornography addictions, especially since many of the blog names are not obviously porn names, causing you to preview the blog. • It exposes minors to illegal and harmful content.

And to many of us: • It’s disgusting. • it’s degrading to human beings, especially women. • It makes Tumblr a less classy, less reputable place.

Please share this if you agree this is a serious problem.

Níl Sé'n Lá

It is not yet day. I find myself becoming a residual ghost living the same day one repeat. Wake up, stretch, drink a smoothie, shower, watch youtube, watch the news, play my ocarina, maybe eat lunch, write, play guitar, write, play video games, eat dinner, sing, write, play ocarina, watch something stupid on the telly, lay in bed and stare at the ceiling, take a cat nap if possible, repeat. Day comes in the morning and somehow it feels as though it is not yet day. However, when the crickets sing at night, I find myself wanting to join in a sort of merry banter.

Despite becoming a ghost and living my life on repeat, there are small joys to be found. Today a friend came over and I really didn’t feel like hearing her complain about her life so instead I took up my guitar. Seeing the look of shock on her face as I sang a short song was priceless. It happens every time I open my mouth to sing; the reaction is always the same: “Holy shit! I didn’t know you could sing!” I find myself doing it now just to avoid conversations, my voice seems to relax even the neediest of friends, which is funny since I cannot stand the sound these vocal chords make in ordinary conversations.

Afterwards I sang some Irish folk music for her, and my Irish is really poor. I hadn’t sung Irish music in years but it made me miss it. I played for her one of my favorites “Níl Sé'n Lá” performed by Celtic Woman. The song has always cracked me up, she didn’t understand though as a non Irish speaker, but in the end that only made me laugh more. No, it is not yet day, and everyday might be the same for me, but I can take pleasure in rare moments of change and excitement. I hope my fellow insomniacs, writers, and music lovers also enjoy moments like this. ♡
