Learning to Breathe

Queer woman on the down side of 40 learning it's okay to be me. Rizzoli & Isles "Rizzles" fandom started this whole thing, but tumblr helped me rediscover my passion for art, gaming, and the LGBTQ community. This is a peek into my eclectic mindscape.

'Special kind of stupid' is the definition of white supremacy.

Absolutely riveted by the drama going on in this spiderweb. One of those blue-black wasps got caught in the web and the spider came to investigate but the spider was maybe the size of the wasp's head? So the wasp straight up grabbed it and curled around it and when I looked up from making this post they were both gone.

New spider house just hit the market I guess. Damn.

"To the best of my knowledge, that was the first show that truly approached the look of the TV show itself in terms of cinema in terms of, "How much of the story can we tell visually?" "How much can we make this look like not just a movie but a really wonderfully shot movie?" - Vince Gilligan on what he learned from The X-files

things just won't do without you

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.

Conservative rape culture, writ large. Punish the victim, protect the offender.
