Nikki Giovanni, from Poem (for EMA)
are you ever scrolling through tumblr and you have a thought and immediately lose it so you have to scroll back up to give your brain the conditions under which it originally created the thought so you can bring it back
anyone remember what these things are called like little cartoony expressive doohickies i think they have a real name but i canât remember
im not fucking crazy.
if i have one more person say sparkles on this post im gonna blow i swear to god
They're squeans I'm pretty sure! If they pop like that anyway. But the term for this kind of "symbol to refer to the general vibe of something in art" is called "Emanata" because it emanates from a person or object.
what the fuck. comics are magic
I am a huge fan of retiring to my quarters
In this economy you'll be lucky to retire to your nickels

the thing is that childhood doesn't just end when you turn 18 or when you turn 21. it's going to end dozens of times over. your childhood pet will die. actors you loved in movies you watched as a kid will die. your grandparents will die, and then your parents will die. it's going to end dozens and dozens of times and all you can do is let it. all you can do is stand in the middle of the grocery store and stare at freezers full of microwave pizza because you've suddenly been seized by the memory of what it felt like to have a pizza party on the last day of school before summer break. which is another ending in and of itself
happy autism awareness day to all the girls who had â friendsâ growing up who were actually bullying them . to the girls who always sat alone in the grass and wondered why nobody wanted to talk . to the girls who spoke to animals like they were listening . to the girls who created a little world in their room . to the girls who always felt ashamed for how deeply they love things and how passionately they enjoyed media . to the girls who covered their ears when they were overwhelmed by everything . to the girls who carrying a special thing around to feel safe . to the girls who never understood what they did wrong to feel so lonely . to the girls who were diagnosed later in life because they werenât little boys who liked trains. you are so special and beautiful and youâre not worse for it, you love deeply and that is so wonderful please never try to push that down . I LOVE YOU !!!!!
Somehow I ended up as a girl who was diagnosed later in life despite the fact that I was a little boy who liked trains.
The thing about "friends" who were actually bullying them is a little too real.
(crawls on all fours with blood drenched on me) I have to do arts and crafts
tumblr is one of the only places i will actually unmute a video when the tags are like "omg unmute it" bc i know most everyone else on this website loves reading and hates noise like i do so it must be pretty good
you ever get tired of living but in a non-suicidal way
like everything is bad everywhere and no one has money and im tired of this cycle
i tried to explain how i was feeling like this to my drug counselor and she was like "yeah that still sounds kinda suicidal" and i could not figure out how to explain that i don't wanna die, i just like. am so so so tired of the way life is for me and all my friends and family. i'm tired of living like this but i'm gonna keep doing it bc i guess there's no other choice
I don't wanna die, I wanna go lay on a warm field under the sun and watch the clouds go by. How is this hard to understand?
I just want to spend a few days in the dim twilight between sleep and waking, but specifically the dim twilight of a Saturday morning in April.
Burnout. The word is burnout, but not because of an unusual state of overwork or an overly demanding position, but because the bare minimum being demanded is beyond capacity.
How is it that Tumblr consistently puts the posts that talk about what I am feeling at the top of my feed every. single. time?
oh, tumblr, we're really in it now
#I don't want to die I want to be alive #life is full of joys and I want to experience all of them #but everything is always getting in my fucking way!!!! I don't want to die I want that to change #I don't know how thats so hard for some people to understand
@approximately20eggs hope it's ok to post these tags because yeah. yes. yeah.
America is absolutely disconnected to meat
I think I realized this when I had went to see my dad and stepmom one day and asked if I could place my hawkâs food. (A rabbit leg) in the freezer. My step mom was disgusted by the idea that a leg from an animal was in the freezer meanwhile an entire chicken was sitting in the fridge.
Your rotisserie chicken is an entire chicken.
Your pork chop is a hunk of pig.
Your rack of ribs are from a cowâs rib cage.
Itâs like Americans view meat as colorful red and pink hued shapes that just exist and come into the world packaged.
You see so many people getting harassed or even having their content flagged for showing how to process or field dress meat when itâs at itâs freshest. Right after culling. For some reason this is considered âgoreâ by many folks when in reality itâs no more different from plucking a processed chicken after cull.
You also notice that Americans have an idea of whatâs normal meat and what isnât normal meat and thereâs racist undertones that Iâve noticed in a lot of these comments left on foreign cooking videos
You have people that claim a video of a man in a different country preparing something like this is âeating a dog.â Meanwhile this is roasted goat.
You have people whoâs only perception of an edible fish is in fillet or fish stick form and they call something like this nasty because âEww thereâs a head!â Yeah.. most animals have heads..
Some of yaâll need to realize what your meat looks like prior to processing and that itâs prepared in different ways. We also need to erase the stigma behind non traditional meats.
Truly, genuinely, as an indigenous person I talk about this exact thing a LOT! Like, don't get me wrong I get a bit squicked when dressing a chicken or gutting and cleaning a fish, lord knows I had really mixed feelings the first time I saw a deers throat slit (I thought it was cruel, until my elder asked me if I would have preferred to let it suffer instead) The truth of the matter is that animals and humans are intertwined. We are food to one another, that's the way of the world and I think people forget that when we champion for humane treatment of animals and when we rail against factory farming we need to remember that removing death is not the goal, removing undue suffering it.
thinking about the time they sent me a seven year old autistic patient to investigate if he was suffering abuse because in every psychological test he kept drawing awful monsters
and I start the consultation already miserable as fuck and I give the kid some pen and paper so I can maybe communicate and see what's on his mind
and then I go WAIT A GODDAMN SECOND I KNOW THOSE MONSTERS
turns out the kid just had a special interest in Five Nights at Freddy's
I pointed at the monster and went "That's Freddy!" and I've never seen a kid that ecstatic in my life
the mom looked at me as if her son and I belonged at the same satanic cult and that's why I knew the names of the demons in his head
I wrote back to psychologist like "I'm not sure how to explain this but looking up five nights at freddys might bring you progress with this patient"
at some point the nurses realized the autistic children and I were like, Really Vibing
so they decided to highkey just appoint all of them to my day and it took me almost a month to realize that the fact that I kept arriving and finding that all of todayâs appointments were autistic children was Not A CoincidenceÂ
anyway this one time there was a kid who was really into christianity but it was like, specifically angelsÂ
so Iâm trying to start up a conversation with him and I ask what heâs reading and he goes âdo you know what a nephilim isâ
and like for one hellish second my soul is suckerpunched out of my body and thrown straight into supernatural-fanfic-on-wattpad hell, and then I reassume control of my flesh prison, ignoring the mental edits of Dean and Castiel making out, and go âArenât those the guys who are half human and half angel?â
and the kid was so fucking happy but the mom was staring at me like âwhy are you privy to this bit of occult jesus loreâ
and my heathen lesbian of a self just looks at her and goesÂ
âi love bibleâ
Itâs almost like taking an invested interest in what your children enjoy will help you understand them.
that addition might be the most savage call out iâve ever seen
can't stop thinking about this
to love someone is firstly to confess: i'm prepared to be devastated by you. by A History of My Brief Body by Billy-Ray Belcourt
y'all want everything on the woman to be fat except the woman.
the number of art pieces I see where a wide woman has a stick thin neck or a thin woman has a disproportionately round stomach or the fucking twitter hips phenomenon of "this is my character Fat Fuck" and its a thin woman with mile wide hips and thighs is annoying.
learn some fucking anatomy or im taking away your "I fuck with fat bitches card" until you know what a fat woman actually fucking looks like.
Video captions: And stop trying to show your ex what they missed out on! Stop trying to teach your family a lesson for not believing in you! Stop trying to shit on your haters! Do it for you! Do it because you deserve it! Do it for YOU! Water your dreams with love! Donât put no hate and resentment, and try to â âoh Imma fucking show them, Imma showâ â FUCK THEM! Fuck them, do it for you! They donât matter! They NEVER mattered.
I don't know anything about YuGiOh but "Overworked" is the greatest card art they've ever done
Yeah thatâs good but check out the original OCG art:
