eventually you realize you don’t want to die. you just don’t want to live the life you’re living. and slowly you try to create a life you want to live. just gotta start there.

[short-and-mad-about-it]

Good luck to my depressed fellas trying their best to get trough life. I see you

[matrizart]

To other Asian-Americans out there, I hope you’re doing ok mentally and staying safe physically in light of recent events. To everyone else as well, please remember a few things as you support Asian-American communities

- This is absolutely no reason to talk over BLM or pitch either communities against each other. We need to be uplifting of one another against white supremacy. Know that the phrase Asian Lives Matter, while with good intentions, does the same harm as All Lives Matter. Promote these phrases instead when possible: StopAsianHate, TheyCantBurnUsAll, AsiansAreHumans, ProtectAsianLives

- Remember that there are regions outside of East Asia—most of the victims in Atlanta were Southeast Asians. SE Asians often face more racism and are even more heavily underrepresented in media, they deserve full protection and support as well. Blasian (black/asian) people exist too and they should not be overlooked either

- Refrain from insensitive phrases along the lines of “if you like anime/kpop/vocaloid you should be paying attention” because you should not need a reason to care about human lives. Not only do these usually refer exclusively to East Asia media, our worth isn’t based on how much our content entertains you

- While I am referring to an incident in America, be mindful that racism against Asians does not only happen in the US. Anti-Asian racism has ridiculously spiked in Europe as well (within the UK, Italy, Greece, Spain, France, Germany to name a few countries specifically) as a result of the pandemic

[himefish]

A list of things I want tme people to start doing. (because I’m tired of vapid “I hate t//rfs” memes and discussing whether it’s okay to say f//mboy being considered utmost transfem allyship, instead of actually supporting transfem people.)

Expand your idea of what women and fem-aligned people look like outside of “sexy passing white lady who’s rlly good at makeup”

DONATE TO TRANSFEMS AND ESPECIALLY BLACK TRANSFEMS. Stop limiting your donations to a specific cause too, transfems need general financial stability

Know how to spot when media is being transmisogynistic. And in relation, stop calling transmisogynistic caricatures progressive when they are quite literally the opposite(the mermaid sisters from carole & tuesday, Him from powerpuff girls, magne from mha)

Actively seek out transfems and tmc creatives. Support their work and immerse yourself in what they’re trying to express.

Understand that transmisogyny is rooted in anti-Blackness and racism. Your feelings are going to get hurt in the process of unlearning anti-Blackness and transmisogyny

This is all still incredibly surface-level. Transfems and tmc people feel free to add on. Tme people reblog pls but do not derail

[T/rfs & truscum go die lol. This post obviously isn’t for you]

[gem-femme]

Hey I know people mean well but y’all need to watch how you tag peoples donation posts. Like, I know it’s important to tag possible triggers for your followers but when you tag a post by someone trying to escape an abusive situation as “abuse tw”, due to blacklist functions you are making it so their post doesn’t reach as wide of an audience and therefore they are less likely to get the help they need to escape their situation.

I understand that it can be distressing to see their post but imagine how the person making it feels living in that situation and not being able to reach the audience they deserve to be able to reach for help? Like, if the post has graphic details or photos, I get tagging it. But if someone is like “I’m trying to escape my abuser and improve my situation”, you really probably shouldn’t tag it with a tw.

Obviously y’all can do what you want but this is just some food for thought. It’s hard enough to ask for and receive help on this site so maybe make sure you’re not contributing to that.

[gem-femme]

Can y’all reblog this please?? Adding trigger warnings to people’s donation posts is a sure fire way to make that post lose traction and die. Too many of y’all have been doing this and contributing to what makes receiving help so difficult on tumblr.

Please do not add trigger warnings to people’s donation posts unless there are actually pictures and/or graphic details of triggering things! Stop tagging them just for mentioning potentially triggering things! You’re making it harder for desperate people to get help when you do that!

[brockpkmn-deactivated20221115]

ok but legitimately i think the reason why kids aren’t taking internet safety seriously is because the people who are telling us not to put our personal information out seem so out of touch. no one acknowledges the possibility of meeting very real teenaged friends online, they always say that everyone you meet is a 40 year old white man in disguise. because they aren’t acknowledging things we know are true, it becomes a lot easier to dismiss the rest of what they’re saying as well. internet safety lessons absolutely must keep up with the times and acknowledge the internet’s capacity for good if you want kids to take to heart warnings about its capacity for bad.

[ajthebumblebee]

Some actual safety tips for teenagers:

1. Have proof they're a teenager first. More than just a picture, have a video call with them.

2. If you want to meet up with them, have your parents or a trusted adult come with you. Even if they are a proven teenager, its still good to have supervision in case any issues happen.

3. If you are talking to an adult, and they start being sexual in any way, you run the fuck away. It doesn't matter if they're 40 or 20. An adult inherently has a power dynamic that teenagers do not. And its up to the adult to act responsible about it. There's exceptions of course, if you're 16 and dating an 18 year old, that's not a problem, we're not talking about that.

4. Being in a server with adults or ran by adults is not inherently bad. Talking to adults is not inherently a problem, and will likely happen in any number of Discord servers. It is only an issue when they are acting sexual and show predatory behavior.

5. Look out for grooming behavior. It can be difficult, because at first it seems like innocuous behavior, like complimenting or giving gifts. Especially if you feel lonely and have low self esteem. And groomers actively target people like that.

If they start trying to isolate you, talk sexual with you, state they depend on you for emotional needs, blame you for their own actions, try to be secretive about the relationship- Then you need to talk to people you trust, block the perpetrator, and call the police on them.

6. If this does happen to you, remember this: It is not your fault. Even if you didn't listen to a single thing listed here, it is not your fault. It is the fault of the adults who knew better, and didn't care. It's not your fault.

[tomboyjessie13]

To my followers: if any of you guys are underaged, please be very VERY careful on here, and don’t fall for any of the tricks the groomer would use on you, just block them and report them.

[uchidachi]

leftist antisemites are really everywhere on this hellsite making & reblogging their posts like “the Jews have too much power and privilege and actually their very recent genocide was not that bad compared to what my group experiences and antisemitism doesn’t even exist in my country and especially not in liberal spaces”

[uchidachi]

Goyim should reblog posts like this one instead of always only acknowledging antisemitism when it is about jk rowling’s goblins or easy shit like that.

Challenge the antisemitism that is coming from inside the house. Be a little brave. Because you will lose followers for reblogging a post like this, because there are antisemites following you that think this way, and assume you do too.

As a white person, there's nothing for me to add on to the video itself, but if you ever considered yourself an ally to POC and specifically movements like Black Lives Matter, share this information with your followers.

Hi it’s me Jess! And I’m asking for your help!!!

I have a couple of posts on here asking for donations but reblogs and donations have slowed down!

I know and realize and recognize that things are very tough on everyone right now but sometimes posts with a lot of texts people skip over (understandable I have undiagnosed adhd)

What is this post about you ask!?? It’s to help me move!!

I’ve been through quite a lot these last couple of years (a physically emotionally and mentally abusive relationship) two emotionally and mentally abusive friendships by people I have known for years. Racism at my job and in my town and like.......this whole entire country. I’m currently stuck in the good ole Midwest and even though my town counts itself as “liberal” and “progressive” it’s ripe with racism. Not to mention the town I am is full of abusers. (Included the three that I dealt with last year)

I’m trying to move out of my town and finally live life for myself in a new environment where I don’t have to be worried about literally physically bumping into one of my abusers in the supermarket.

If you can’t donate plsssssss reblog this post or any of my other posts you might come across.

My gofundme is here: https://gf.me/u/y7g3vh

Help Jess Move, organized by Jessica Jordan

so my first gfm ended on sep 30th and i did not meet my goal so i'm restarting it! the money being rais… Jessica Jordan needs your support

💖My Venmo is: rosyish

💖My cashapp is: $rosyish

Literally even a couple of bucks count and go straight into my savings account for moving because I’m so deadly serious about moving from this town.

I mentally cannot spend another year here and my last therapy session even my therapist said moving would help immensely for my mental health!

Every donation goes to relocation costs, necessities, moving truck, insurance, food, and a nurse to come by my home to help my mom because I will not be home to take care of her and hopefully a pet fee so I can take my beautiful lovely dog Luna.

If you’re interested I have an onlyfans (currently 50% off) and I will be opening my online shop in December. Pls message me about either.

Again pls reblog if you cannot donate.

I’m so eternally grateful to everyone who has followed me over the years, has sent me kind messages, my friends who have supported and loved me through my hardships these past few years, to the people who have donated, to the people who have reblogged, and for the people who have helped me achieve my goal.

Thank youuuuu so much. 💖💖💖

[ancestorswatching]

In many cultures, ethnic groups, and nations around the world, hair is considered a source of power and prestige. African people brought these traditions and beliefs to the Americas and passed them down through the generations.

In my mother’s family (Black Americans from rural South Carolina) the women don’t cut their hair off unless absolutely necessary (i.e damage or routine trimming). Long hair is considered a symbol of beauty and power; my mother often told me that our hair holds our strength and power. Though my mother’s family has been American born for several generations, it is fascinating to see the beliefs and traditions of our African ancestors passed down. We are emotionally and spiritually attached to our hair, cutting it only with the knowledge that we are starting completely clean and removing stagnant energy.

Couple this with the forced removal and covering of our hair from the times of slavery and onward, and you can see why so many Black women and men alike take such pride and care in their natural hair and love to adorn our heads with wigs, weaves, braids, twists, accessories, and sharp designs.

Hair is not just hair in African diaspora cultures, and this is why the appropriation and stigma surrounding our hair is so harmful.

[arofrog-archive]

[ID: nine square images explaining the importance of Black hair. All but the first image have a plain light cream background, a title and text with a picture and are credited to @vibesofablackgirl.

Image 1: a picture of a dark-skinned Black woman wearing makeup with their hair styled in an Afro. A search bar across their face reads “Reasons why Black hair is not just hair”.

Image 2: Title is “The Pencil Test”. Text reads “Between 1948 and 1994, the pencil test was a method used to assess whether a person was White or Black. A pencil was slid into the hair of someone being assessed. If the pencil fell out you were White and if it stayed in you were Black. This was a tool used to segregate Black people and stop them attending functions, schools and events. Not only did this cause racial division it also tore families apart”. A sketch of a Black woman undergoing the pencil test is shown beside the text.

Image 3: Title is “Map to Freedom”. Text reads “Cornrows have a rich history in the Black community. Slaves would braid escape routes into their hair. They were used as a way for slaves to communicate with with one another without their slave owners knowing. Some of the cornrows and the number of plaits worn would let them know how far they needed to travel or how many roads they needed to walk til they would be able to meet one another to escape the plantation”. A photo of seven people with different cornrows.

Image 4: Title is “Means of Survival”. Text reads “The Black women who came before us were innovative and showed that the thickens and texture of Black hair was so valuable and had a purpose. This was because slaves would braid rice and seeds in their cornrows before journeying the Middle Passage. Enslaved mothers would also braid seeds in their children's hair so they could eat in case they were separated due to slave auctions”. A photo of a Black woman having her hair braided with food.

Image 5: Titled “Cultural Representation”. Text reads “Before colonisation in the 15th century, Black hair could tell you everything you needed to know about a person just by looking at the style alone. Hairstyles were able to indicate things like wealth, religion, culture, tribe, marital status, social status, age and plenty more. You were even able to know a person's last name just by looking at their hairstyle. This is because each tribe had their own unique hairstyle”. A photo of a Black person with a tribal hairstyle.

Image 6: Titled “The Tignon Law”. Text reads “Late 18th century in Louisiana, Black women were banned from wearing it in public and were ordered to cover it up at all times. This was because they wanted to curb the growing influence of the free Black population and keep the social order. It was also believed Black women's hairstyles would draw the attention of white men, and this increased the jealousy of white women”. A photo of a Black woman with her hair covered.

Image 7: Titled “Stripped of Identity”. Text reads “When the slave trade started and the slaves were captured, Black women were forced to shave all their hair off. This was the beginning process of eradicating the Black identity and culture. It was also a tool to minimise Black beauty and dehumanise Black women, as slave owners knew their hair was something they valued enormously, was part of their identity and it also held so much significance”. A photo of a Black woman with a fully shaved head.

Image 8: Titled “Cultural Appropriation”. Text reads “Black hairstyles are an outward expression of self-acceptance and self-love. However, the anti-Black hair sentiment has existed in society for centuries. Black hair has been compared to wool and often described as ‘wild’, ‘nappy’ or ‘ghetto’. Yet non-Black people are praised, credited and even profit from styles and trends that Black women have been ridiculed for. Cultural appreciation is about recognising the history and where it came from, which includes learning about and giving credit to what you're borrowing, instead of saying ‘it’s just hair’”. A photo of three white women wearing thick dreadlocks.

Image 9: Titled “The Corporate World”. Text reads “In 2010, Chastity Jones accepted a job offer from Catastrophe Management Solutions. However, the offer came with one caveat – she had to cut off her locks. Jones refused, and the company rescinded its job offer. Chastity’s case is not unique. Cases filed by Black working women alleging discrimination against their natural hair in the workplace have filled courthouses for more than forty years”. A photo of a Black woman on TV in court.

thread says:

ATTN: ANYONE WITH NO HEATING OR POWER CURRENTLY

I know it's cold, I have some tips for you, thanks to having been through this before, many times.  (spool of thread emoji)

Please RT the thread if you know anyone without power currently! (black heart emoji)

-Choose 1 room to inhabit -Move all furniture to external walls -Move your mattress to the center of the 1 room -Block pets from leaving that room, put all needs in it -If your fridge is warming up, put all perishable items in a trash bag and place outside, form snow around -If you have plants, move them in the room with you -If you have a small space heater, move it in the room with you -Hang thick blankets or large towels in all the windows -If a sunny day arrives before power, open curtains when sun hits directly, then put back up -Wear multiple layers of clothing -If your pets are too cold, put socks on their feet and/or clothing you have that fits them -roll clothing or towels and block all door and window gaps -Throw all your dirty clothes on the floor, covering every space you can

Your body heat will warm that room if you remain in ONLY that room.  You want to use anything you can to add insulation between you, and the outside.  Hence covering and blocking all floors, windows, and walls.  Now isn't the time to have a clean house, it's the time to survive.

Late addition thanks to a friend of mine:

If you have, or can get, bubble wrap, tape that to all windows, as it creates a kind of double insulation!
