Idk how to explain to people that the US isn't declining into fascism, it's been a fascist state since the moment it started with genocide and slavery.

In my experience, white people refuse this because they think it's only applicable once it threatens whiteness

if a deaf or hard of hearing person asks you to repeat yourself please do!!! don’t ignore them or say “nothing” or “never mind” !!! you may not think what you said was significant, but you’re forcing us to be in the dark and you’re controlling our environment more than you may realize!!!

Murphy’s Law of Tumblr: anything that can be misinterpreted will be misinterpreted

the only place for racists, fascists or otherwise in the cottagecore + naturecore + other environmental tag is in the compost as fertiliser, and that’s that

This is the most performative bullshit I have ever seen in my life. Like...that’s you!!!

I’m literally indigenous ❤️

So like...you get it then how fucking damaging the concept of cottagecore is....

violetsandshrikes

used as a colonial/settler concept? absolutely. the concept of taming ~new land~ or otherwise is extremely fucked up and harmful to indigenous people everywhere. generalised european farming is also terrible for most environments it’s been introduced to and is strip mining them of essential nutrients and biodiversity.

at the same time, cottagecore has been used as an overarching term by multiple different marginizalied groups to express their desire to not constantly live in distress or an environment that is consistently damaging for them and i don’t begrudge them that. i personally find most people saying they’re anti cottagecore to be performative.

the majority of the cottagecore community aren’t planning on going on to colonise and continuously oppress local people, and are actively trying to engage with indigenous voices, permaculture, environmentalism and other necessary concepts for the continued health and survival of literally everyone. the people who want the trad wife/manifest destiny/white supremecist “cottagecore” literally don’t give shit about explanations of why term/idea may have harmful connotations to certain groups, and they’re not going to stop regardless.

all that’s being done is that 1) people are abandoning an aesthetic to be co-opted by those racist/misogynistic fuckers 2) people move onto another concept/aesthetic without actually engaging why the way they view land or these issues are problematic. shaming people for enjoying cottagecore doesn’t do shit, and instead we should be pushing for reframing of concepts and education about why certain ideas are harmful and damaging, and where improvements can be made.

This isn't performative: this is how you keep the fash out! In the 80s literal nazis tried to make a place for themselves in punk scenes. Now why do you think punk isn't seen as a nazi thing these days? Because at the very least people were willing to stand up and say "nazi punks get fucked" and many others were willing to help fash lose teeth and earn broken bones.

We should be helping people get fash trash out of their space, not accusing every individual who has any sort of interest in any of the things we label "cottegecore" as an imperialist colonizer or fascist. People outside communities shouldn't be giving entire communities, aesthetics, genres, etc. to the fascists. They need to be helping the people in those communities excise the fash rash they've picked up so they can get back to enjoying their interests.

Tl;Dr: quit giving stuff to fascists. Start making them regret showing their faces anywhere and everywhere.

Honestly as a blind person I’m so tired of seeing fictional blind characters who don’t use white canes or other guides. “They have special powers so they know what’s around them” or “they’re confident enough to not need a guide” are common tropes, and I’m tired.

Are people scared that using a white cane will make their blind character seem weak? They can’t use a cane because they’re so special that they already know what’s around them, and other blind people who use guides are inferior because they’re not special?

I’m tired. Give your blind characters white canes and other guides. Let them hold onto their friends, let them have guide dogs. Don’t make white cane users feel ostracized for not being “strong enough” to go without.

Another thing that pisses me off is when a sighted character comes up with the fantasy equivalent of braille and teaches it to the blind character. Braille was invented by Louis Braille, a blind man, in 1824. The blind character should be the one coming up with it.

Tldr I’m blind and tired of sighted people lol

🔪 Sighted People MUST Reblog This 🔪

LOST’s writers wanted to make an episode from the dog’s POV but the producers thought that would be too weird and would decrease the ratings. Basically this proves that producers have no idea what the audience wants because I would have loved that.

I watched the finale of Heroes, Volume 1 last night, and I was supremely disappointed, so I made a spoof parody rewrite of “How to Stop an Exploding Man” here:

warning: it’s really really stupid and i wrote it for like 30 minutes straight and then just. didn’t edit it at all, but my friends think it’s funny, so please enjoy

Reblogging because this is one of the great masterpieces of my life

Really wishing I could sit at a fire pit, late at night, with a big dog napping on my feet

sometimes I just sit and wonder what America(or the world but I'm thinking small scale here) would look like without colonialism. what kind of technology would be popular and what kind of social atmosphere we would have. How many of our languages and cultures would have had the opportunity to grow and evolve and change over time.
