TME people on this website really said “it makes perfect sense that a lesbian can be transmasc, but it is fucking ridiculous for transfems to consider themselves in happy gay relationships with gay men”

[littleboybloo]

oh as an amab nb they are NOT gonna like this one

[archive-asdfghjkl-deactivated20]

it’s literally impossible to have a normal discussion about media consumption on this website because every time you say ‘this website moralizes media consumption to a bizarre degree and treats what shows people watch like the be all end all of activism’ then people who think there’s nothing wrong with writing incest fanfiction start agreeing with you and every time you say ‘media consumption is not a morally neutral activity and fiction does impact reality, and there is certain media that you can’t ethically consume’ then people who call stephen universe ‘irredeemable media’ start agreeing with you

Chaotic academia is

1.) Intense obsessions that last maybe two weeks but consume your soul

2.) Spacing out in class but loving to learn

3.) Swearing and slang while discussing deep academic topics

can i offer you landlubbers a uquiz during these times: what trope on a pirate ship are you?

[bluebellgrove]

The Mermaid

you are the mysterious glimmer under the water, the ghostly hand that rescues the drowning sailor from the storm and pushes them back on deck, whilst disappearing the moment his crewmates rush over. but you have followed the ship ever since, listening to the distant music and laughter while you hide in the shadows of the hull, wishing you could feel their warmth and understand their songs. but how can you find connection with those so far away, who come from a world so different from yours? you long to understand; you wish to be understood. you dive under the water too slowly when they turn your way, and secretly hope they catch sight of your pearly fins. when they are lost, you slip shells and jewels onto their ship and listen in on them as they wonder where the jewels came from.

[littleboybloo]

The Cabin Boy

you are the kindness and earnestness that the crew has a tender spot for, and all of them will take up arms against a sea of trouble if said trouble would do so much as look at you. you might have been an orphan, and so you long for the found family that is the crew on the ship. all of this is new to you--the tireless sun, the seasickness, the towering waves, but you are made of tougher stuff than you look. even if you’re afraid, you draw up your courage and face the fears, and you do not give up after you’ve made mistakes. the harsh sea life will not harden you, and you will remind the crew that even pirates could use some hope every now and then.

if you’re white and you act like race issues are just “unnecessary drama” or “discourse” then sorry to tell you but you’re just…. racist

[ltab-moving]

yes white people CAN and probably SHOULD reblog this just dont add on anything.

[haha-you-are-a-stupid-bitch-dea]

everyone is racist whether they admit it or not.

[littleboybloo]

no you just wanna scapegoat marginalized people for the fact that you’ve been trained to hate us

No Nuance November: The reason we're seeing trans kids with less dysphoria isn't that they're transtrenders; it's that as trans acceptance progresses and trans people are better represented, kids are exposed to tons of different ways to be men and women and both and neither. Like, you're less likely to think you need to have a penis to be a "real man" if you've seen tons of real men who don't living happy, authentic lives. If you aren't forced to compare yourself exclusively to cis people, you're less likely to focus exclusively on things that differentiate you from cis people and more likely to focus on what makes you feel comfortable and seen and understood.

I guess my hot take about cottagecore is

- it’s mostly aspirational/a coping mechanism and the vast majority of people who post it are not actually going to start a homestead. in a time when everyone is stuck in small apartments during a pandemic, it makes a lot of sense that people are dreaming of independence, space, and relationship to land. it’s a fantasy. i don’t think it’s fair to say that people are doing harm because of this.

- if people do start homesteads, they’ll be buying the land from other white people, not colonizing land that indigenous people currently hold. so at worst it’s perpetuating/not undoing the existing system, but like, it’s not like if they don’t buy it it’ll go back into native hands. there’s nothing inherently worse about white queer women owning land than white straight men owning land (and it honestly feels a little suspect to think there is!) 

- buying land is not in itself the issue, rather the issue is how you relate to it. get in touch with your local indigenous nation. ask them what they want and need. pay them reparations – i’ve heard of someone paying her local indigenous nation a land tax equivalent to what she pays her landlord. get involved in efforts to help indigenous, black, and brown people buy land. learn about the history of racist usda lending practices. there’s a lot more to this issue than “buying land is bad.” btw, you can engage in this work even if you’re not planning on buying land. - people should definitely have an awareness of how they are operating within this system, and an awareness of the harm the homesteading movement and white flight did, but this is not 1865. we can’t and won’t undo the harm of colonization by just telling people “stay in cities where you’re harming no one.” that’s ignoring all the harm that happens in cities (ie gentrification, food deserts, homelessness), and in any case, cities in north america are indigenous land too. also, tbh, i don’t think the way to solve the issues of a world where so much harm is based on displacement and movement restrictions is just to place more movement restrictions on people.

[littleboybloo]

Or you could you know, buy the land and give it back to the people it was stolen from. If you’re so “in touch” with indigenous people(hint: you’re not)

[cottagecore-is-good]

I dont think it’s about being “in touch” with indigenous people, because if you look at it really really hard, maybe youll come to realize, i know it’s harder for you than for some other people, littleboybloo, but indigenous people are people too.

[littleboybloo]

I’m indigenous and black you fucking moron shit the fuck up. The post YOU chose to reblog literally USES THE LINE “get in touch with indigenous people.” The fact that you tried to turn that around on me is both just embarrassing and ridiculous, but also a clear indication you are way more interested in defending your colonial aesthetic fetish than actually reconciling with the fact that it makes a lot of bipoc uncomfortable.

@cottagecore-is-good so you don’t act like you didn’t see this. Got an apology prepared? Since we indigenous are “people too” I’m sure you agree I absolutely deserve one for you’re asshole behavior and high horse erasure of the very demographic you’re talking to.

[cottagecore-is-good]

Dude… i dont care. Cry about it! Were both alive in the same day and age. I was busy away from keyboard on another blog.

If you tell me Im not allowed to enjoy Nature then thats telling me im not allowed to be alive, and frankly, thats not very egalitarian of you, and you obviously think all people are not at the end of the day actually equals.

Im not gonna respond to your tags because you decided not to post them as actual text.

Also, as an addition id like to add that Native Americans modernly are being ignored and put on the back burner. I dont think their number one priority is getting back the country, and even if it is, I dont respect that - but I will support them in getting food and in fighting to educate consumerists and ecoignorants and people who rape the Earth for money backwardsly and twistedly - in large part to honor them and what their culture has always been about and still remains valuing elementally to this very darned day.

If you dont like that then I dont know what to say other than, go be bitter in a corner while the rest of us do Kumbaya (kinda hard with the Coronapocalypse and the nearing end of the world due to corporate interests like Bill Gates and his viruses and vaccines, but you know what i mean maybe)

I forage for edible weeds and study ecology as my pastime. 

Say what you will but I have an unbreakable bond with Nature, even death will not part me and Nature, because.. like, its real and shit (and imma decompose and become plants and then plant-eating deer).

Bruh, so like, honestly, you can go cry about it, cuz I am not

[littleboybloo]

first of all I’m not a dude and second of all what don’t you get about the fact that I’m native????? I guess by “in touch with nature” you mean your braincells are rotting like fruit in a compost bin
