i wasn't sure what to add to my island so i added the pheal

the one on the beach is a house and the other two images are of an item (don't let the house things trick you)

unfortunately very true. Doing Better does not always mean never being upset or never being triggered or never having trouble. often Doing Better means experiencing those things and being able to keep going/cope healthily/move on. if you’re in a bubble with no sensation, if you’re numbing yourself out, that’s not what recovering really is. it won’t help you have a happier life it’ll just make your world smaller and smaller until you can’t fit anywhere anymore. gotta learn to make peace with the hard stuff too, that’s the only way to keep going

I did not come into Tumblr dot com to be called out in this way.

For those who have missed it, a tourist in Hawaii decided it would be fun to chuck a rock (a BIG rock) at a monk seal. He missed, but he was captured on video, and when told it was illegal to interfere with them, said "I'm rich, I can pay the fine."

Is the best part that he got doxxed? No.

Is the best part that he got tracked down by a local and beaten? No.

Arrested on state at federal charges, looking at up to 5 years and 50K? Nope.

The best part is the local city council's reaction.

And the best part of that is the look on the attorney's face.

Antiblackness is global and sometimes I forget exactly how true that is until I see the extent to which non-Black racialized folks cross the globe are willing to do anything to launder/sweep their antiblackness under the rug instead of addressing it.

You ask genuinely and you’ll receive genuinely.

First, in pretty much every damn society the closer the proximity to darker skin, to Blackness, the worse the racism will be via colorism. Second, everyone else really, specifically, globally, hates Black people and see us individually/collectively as a resource to be exploited and Africa as a place to be used to their benefit and pillaged and destroyed.

Antiblackness because it ain’t the same as generalized umbrella racism, because it’s describing the specific ways the rest of the world wants Black folks dead, out of sight, or enslaved, no self determination, no autonomy–bodily, mentally, materially, collectively. TikTok and YouTube algorithms specifically suppress Black creators more than anyone but the darker your skin get, the more you get gone. Shit, don’t think it’s a new thing—over a decade ago Facebook algorithms changed a generation of online Black folks language/speech patterns because if they knew you was Black you could get banned for saying the word “white” in any sense but positively. So we started calling whites yt, and when they caught on to that, we got more creative and used 6f/#ffffff, Mayosapian, yakubian devil, and so so many more.

The ways we are hated ain’t unique to the US, although the US does fuckin love to hate us. It ain’t limited to countries we were or are enslaved in neither. Someone from non-African “third world”, global south, global majority just as likely to hate anyone they see as Black the same because to them, we ain’t people, a people, worthy of acknowledgement, justice, care, humanity.

So yeag antiblackness SPECIFICALLY is fucking global.

Hey, fat people deserve to have fun and get their needs met even if they’re the least healthy mf you know. Fat people deserve proper medical care, and carbs, and to wear shorts and so many more things! EVEN IF THEY ARE UNWELL AND ESPECIALLY IF THAT UNWELLNESS IS DUE TO THEIR WEIGHT!!! Fat people deserve the world and more. Not just the healthy fats or attractive fats or small fats or fats that are fat because of medication or disability.

skinny people please reblog this one

Everyone reblog this one

me: i don’t want to see jellyfish so i will blacklist the tag #jellyfish

people with no common sense: je11yf1sh, je11¥fi5h, j*llyf*sh, je//ÿf!sh, j3ï||yf¡sh, gel lee fisk

result: cannot account for the sheer amount of possible ways to alter the word jellyfish

conclusion: i have to see jellyfish now.

Once again, tumblr is not tiktok, tag properly.

nojerama1996

This. Please. Whether I'm avoiding spoilers for a show or people promoting eating disorders, if I block a tag it means I don't want to see it. Spell your fucking tags properly.

don't worry, I haven't forgotten my roots: colourful drawings of gay women. But now they're naked.

[ID: a coloured pencil drawing of three fat nude women in different reclining poses, in pink and green tones. They're surrounded by small spirals and stars. End ID]

it’s a shame more vampire media doesn’t pull from vampire bat behavior because they’re such sweeties. they can only survive their incredibly specialized diet because bats will share blood with colony members that didn’t find a meal! there’s evidence that suggests the donors sometimes initiate this behavior themselves by approaching hungry bats! the colonies are mostly harems of females with a few males but they’ve been observed letting unrelated males in when it gets cold so they can all stay warm! cute little social critters!
