Purple Alternative Animals

💜 Violet Maria (she/they)~ This is just a personal blog of my interests! I’m alternative, queer, chronically ill, and neuro-spicy! Only here occasionally.💜

Long time no see tumblr! How’s it going? I’m back on here for the foreseeable future! I missed y’all! Let’s kick it off with some of my current faves! Fictional queer men and K-pop biases!

On the Left is Felix from the Last Legacy novel game. He’s kind of gothic, a bit prim and pretty rebellious. Not to mention gay as hell. He’s become one of my comfort characters as of late.

On the right is Kim Seungmin of Stray Kids. He’s got golden vocals, he’s super adorable and he’s an absolute menace! I love his goofy ass with all my heart, but I know damn well he’d probably roast me if I met him. 🩶

An investigation is ongoing in the case of a 9 year old Rochester girl who was pepper sprayed during a mental health episode. Police were called on Friday afternoon after a report that the girl was threatening to harm herself and her mother. The girl resisted being put into a police car to be taken to the hospital, kicking one of the officers. She is seen screaming in bodycam footage before her head is held down against the snow-covered ground and is handcuffed. One of the three officers involved told her she was, “acting like a child,” to which she responded, “I am a child!”

“Later in the video, a female officer is seen talking to the girl, eventually saying, “This is your last chance, otherwise pepper spray’s going in your eyeballs.” About a minute later, another officer can be heard saying, “Just spray her at this point.” The female officer is seen shaking a can that appears to be pepper spray and the child continues to scream.” Officers then pepper sprayed her and left her crying in the back seat as they took her to Rochester General Hospital and soon released.

How do we reform a group of supposed public servants who seem nearly immune to consequences? This isn’t how you treat anyone experiencing a mental health emergency, and especially not a nine year old child. How will this little girl grow up in a world where the people who are supposed to protect her are violent towards her when she needs help?

Amidst discussion about wealth inequality and race issues, I really wanna hammer into younger Gen Zers minds about how awful Ronald Reagan was I feel like we all got propaganda’d in school on how great he was just because of basic charisma and for the fact that he made some dopey speech at the berlin wall, but looking back he was just pure fucking evil: He caused so many problems that we’re all dealing with today- and problems that made Zoomers become “Doomers”:

He made explicit pleas to segregationists and klansmen when talking about states rights, endangering the lives of POC in the process

he KILLED unions, working class people lost bargaining power against the rich and lost livable wages, starting the end of the middle class, we never recovered

His trickle down economics killed any chance of real progressive tax on the rich & ensured that trillions would go to the rich for *generations*

He demonized the shit out of black people, he literally never saw them as human, especially those that were homeless and struggling with addictions (a problem he made much, much worse)

He *knew* about the AIDS crisis and for the longest time, did *nothing*, he sat by and intentionally let so many Black, Hispanic, Indigenous & Queer people die horrible deaths, with no remorse. The community is still grappling with the effect of that to this very day

All of us are angry about how Rich people are putting down poor people during this Gamestop-Robinhood fiasco, it’s good to remember when that started to get real popular…when people say “Ronald Reagan was the devil”, they’re not fucking around.

I reblog this every time I see it. It just brings me so much joy

i don’t know why but i’m really amused by the winner of some ‘new kanji’ contest:

compare with the real kanji

座 (seat/gathering), but the two 人 (person) radicals have been moved from next to each other within the 土 (earth) radical to diagonally from each other, making this “social distance(d seating/gathering)”

[jadethest0ne]

This is hilarious, but to further the hilarity, I’d like to point to the fact that half of the “A rank” (runners up) for this contest also are related to 2020 epidemic jokes

First up we have:

Compare with 太

The original kanji means “to gain weight”. But it adds the コ “ko” and ロ  “ro” katakana symbols at the top to represent the weight you gain while staying home due to the corona virus.

Then we have:

Compare with 会 

The original kanjij means “meeting”, but the lower radical is changed to look more like a “Z” to represent Zoom meetings. Thus, the new kanji means “web meetings” or “zoom calls”

And of course another social distancing one:

Compare with 話 

This means “to talk” or “chat”, but it’s changed simply to show the two radicals social distancing from one another as we should also while holding conversations nowadays.

At least we can have some fun language humor despite all of this!

Again, this is not saying “disabled ppl have it worse so if 2020 was hard for you, you’re weak” or something. It’s really important to give the disabled community space to talk about this reality. (The whole “disabled people talking about their hardships is just MAKING EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM AND HAVING A PITY PARTY” is an ableist microaggression topic for another time)

This is, “Hey, so millions of vulnerable people already go through this alone while the rest of the world mostly ignores them. They don’t get help with basic needs or even help coping, they’re told to suck it up because life isn’t fair and they’re just ‘letting disability win’ by not being able to power through debilitating flare ups. They are blamed for the restrictions and challenges that come with not just having a disability, but by living in a society that looks the other way.” 

2020 made a lot of people aware of that, which is already creating waves of change. But it’s important to realize and remember that when life eventually goes back to “normal” for nondisabled people… it will never, ever go back to “normal” for disabled people. This HAS TO CHANGE. If it’s a problem for disabled people, it will be a problem for you too, as COVID-19 has taught many people. Whether it’s another pandemic (Goddess forbid), or when you yourself experience some level of disability (it’s a spectrum, and unless you’re literally Krishna, you will most likely eventually experience a form disability by the time you’re a senior).

If you still feel personally attacked by disabled people speaking up about this incredibly important issue with our society, with our framework, with our large-scale selective empathy, then I don’t know what to say. Other people talking about what is hurting them is not a judgment on you and your challenges this year. What’s hard for you is hard for you! 2020 was brutal! Let yourself have that, okay? It was hard. 

But it’s exposed so many holes in our system and in how we relate to each other as humans. No one listens to us when we try to talk about these holes, they think we want handouts or pity or attention. But suddenly the whole world is going through something very similar to it, together, and we say, “See! That! That’s what hurts us! That’s why disabled people are kept in poverty and struggle mentally and emotionally! That’s why we have a high suicide rate!” and then people reply with, “not everything is about you!” wtf?

I’ll say it over and over again because it’s my mission to keep it from happening but: disabled isolation in my early 20′s nearly killed me. Many don’t make it, because it’s really that hard to be isolated so much because of your health. It’s hard to cope with so much pain even if you do have a good support system. Pain fucks with your head and your heart. 

So can we please start acting from our hearts? Can we please do our part to make sure no one is left to fall anymore?

[earlgraytay]

It makes me feel like a total ass, but one of the most strangely heartening things about this year was realizing that *everyone* goes a bit feral in isolation and my inability to wear real pants was not a me-problem.

[newhologram]

Yeah, that’s a BIG mood.
