To my 25 - 35 year olds, you've reached the age where people around you are starting to give up on themselves because they think it's too late. Don't let that energy rub off on you. It's not too late.

i don't like the "my blorbo is a war criminal 😈" type of post or just the fandom use of "war crimes" in general. Like I don't think you know what war crimes actually are. They are not just "crimes, but Evil for Villains". unbelievable disconnect from reality

i admit i am getting wary whenever people vaguepost about a fandom being 'full of drama' because a lot of people seem to use 'drama' as a synonym for like. discussions of bigotry and bias in media. which is so very much not the same thing and it hurts my head to see it conflated with shipping wars and headcanon discourse.

Every time someone says "I don't pay attention to fandom drama" and the "drama" is a Black or brown person getting dogpiled for wanted to be treated with respect. But then turn around and go "I didn't know that this sort of thing was happening!" Well you didn't care to look, either 😬

Wally Dion, born 1976, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

Fabric Star Quilts.

Wally (Walter) Dion is a Canadian artist of Saulteaux ancestry living and working in Upstate New York. Working in a number of media including painting, drawing and sculpture.

Wally explains:

"The first fabric star quilt was made as part of a 2022 residency at Wanuskewin Park. It was my way of reflecting upon prairie tall grass and the reintroduction of bison into the Great Plaines. I wanted to make several transparent quilts and superimpose them; one in front another... a quilt for the microbiome, another for the bison, their manure & hooves, another for the summer fires that scorch the ground and a final quilt for the sweetgrass braid.

I was considering how all of these things worked together for thousands of years to create what is known as the 'prairie tall grass ecosystem'. A vast and fertile expanse of land stretching from the foothills of Alberta to the banks of the Mississippi. I wanted to highlight the invisibility of systems when everything is working well, as it should be.

I started with the green quilt because it is the colour of the sweet grass braid that is exchanged in ceremony and relationship building. I considered the nature and tradition of quilting; impoverished craftspeople using tiny scraps of fabric. I considered the act of offering fabric and adherence to tradition. I thought of a thousand tiny prayers and how that might look; invisible acts of respect and adherence to protocols spanning decades. My thoughts travelled across the land, imagining the trees and rocks collecting these prayers like a bush of cloth, or an etched boulders."

i'm just not going to tolerate any hand-waving sentiment towards forcible institutionalization to the effect of "oh, you know, that's mostly just done to the real crazies." i have been the real crazies! suicidal people and homeless people and schizophrenic people and people with "intrusive" symptoms are not asides in your argument about how soon this might start affecting real people who actually deserve freedom and self determination

Like if the field of psychiatry was in any way apolitical and objective the gender/race discrepancies in who gets diagnosed with what definitely wouldn't look like they do

It is not a coincidence when the white boy is more likely to get diagnosed with autism or ADHD and the white girl is more likely to get diagnosed with anxiety and BPD and the black kids are more likely to get diagnosed with ODD and schizophrenia and it definitely isn't harmless objective science...

For a city to be walkable. It must also be sittable.

#every time I read this phrase the same thing happens#I read it as shittable and go wait that can't be right#oh right they were talking about public benches that makes more sense#but public bathrooms available without fees should also be a thing tho#cities should definitely be shittable#it happens EVERY SINGLE TIME

it must also be shittable

i don’t understand how neil gaiman intellectual properties still trend on here so regularly he literally trafficked women. like it’s not even a discourse thing or a “he’s problematic” thing he was “cancelled” for human trafficking. he repeatedly isolated women, usually his or his ex-wife’s fans, with no support system for the purpose of raping them while they were dependent on him for income and housing. that’s human trafficking

#neil gaiman #neil gaiman mention #mentions of human trafficking #anti neil gaiman #sexual assault mention #pls pls tell me if you need me to tag smth more

coworker today was talking about how she tries to drive less to reduce her carbon footprint, so instead of ordering takeout she orders delivery. when I pointed out that this actually results in the exact same amount of emissions because the same amount of driving happens she said "yeah but it's not me driving." and I feel like any critique of progressive individualism I could make based on this would fall flat because like. what else is there to say? she summed up the flaws of individualist environmentalism better than most critics could, without intending to.

critically stagnant spotlight campaigns for today (4/15.) [NO DONATIONS IN ONE DAY, PLEASE DON'T IGNORE]

all campaigns are vetted by the organizers of gaza funds. this site has been vouched for by palestinian bloggers. for full transparency, a list of campaigns is available to view on their site. additionally, if you look at my list of individual campaigns, you will see that i personally trust these campaigns and have donated to them many times.

raghad's family: 17 days since last donation

basim and hla: 17 days since last donation

nada muhaisen: 17 days since last donation

ibrahim abu raida: 13 days since last donation

ghada and abdulrahman: 10 days since last donation

yahia hawajry: 10 days since last donation

mohammed ahmed: 9 days since last donation

ahmed atallah: 7 days since last donation

campaigns in danger of becoming critically stagnant:

hassan abdullah: 6 days since last donation

dr. isam: 5 days since last donation

ghazi mekawi: 4 days since last donation

this list comprises the majority of my active gaza funds spotlight campaigns. i am actively spotlighting 15 campaigns. eight of them are critically stagnant, and three more are in danger of becoming critically stagnant.

despite the urgency of the situation, not a single one of my fifteen spotlight campaigns received anything yesterday!!please do something. if you can't donate, please share. i don't make these posts for fun, and i don't use the phrase "critically stagnant" lightly. don't just wait for someone else to take action because nothing gets done that way.

individual posts for these campaigns are generally ignored, which is why i've moved to using this pinned post instead. it simply takes me too long to queue up a bunch of posts people will just scroll past. please don’t ignore this, you have the opportunity to throw someone a lifeline and do some real good. even if you don’t have any money, a reblog is free and can help get more eyes on these campaigns. none of them are on tumblr, to my knowledge. nobody sees these campaigns unless people reblog posts about them or make their own posts.

thank you in advance for your consideration.

tags for reach under the cut (you can always let me know if you'd rather not be on this list, or if you want to be added to the list!)

The Ainu have not intentionally forgotten their culture and their language. It is the modern Japanese state that, from the Meiji era on, usurped our land, destroyed our culture, and deprived us of our language under the euphemism of assimilation. In the space of a mere 100 years, they nearly decimated the Ainu culture and language that had taken tens of thousands of years to come into being on this earth. ~Kayano Shigeru (1926-2006) Our Land Was a Forest: An Ainu Memoir
