Still Here @thesavaradesert - Tumblr Blog

See that picture above? That’s a close up of my great grandmother’s immigration papers when she first came to the US back in the early 20th century. But my great grandma’s information isn’t the important part here. The important part is that line in the middle there about how they arrived in the country.

And how ‘stowaway’ is a legitimate, valid option to select.

So yeah. They absolutely just showed up, and that part of immigration history needs to be talked about a lot more.

REMINDER THAT TRAVEL VISAS AS WE KNOW THEM TODAY WERE INVENTED IN THE 1930S TO KEEP JEWISH REFUGEES OUT OF COUNTRIES THAT DID NOT WANT AN ‘INFLUX’ OF THEM, THEREBY FACILITATING THEIR GENOCIDE :)))))

read What is A Refugee for more history. Educate yourselves.

Y'know, I’m really loving the return to a “tropes are good” mindset. Embrace the cliché. Use the overused. If it makes you feel good to read and write, don’t stress if it’s not completely original. It’s so much more fun to not agonize over having to make every aspect of a piece revolutionary

Just because a story is predictable, it doesn’t mean it’s not a good story.

I really liked the acapella Mitski did in the Genius Verified video but I couldn’t find any good edits of just the acapella spliced together so I guess I’m doing it.

Hello, again?

This blog was previously called a lot of things but most recently “spo-ken” (ew) and now rebranded as thesavaradesert bc I like that pun.

So for some reason I assumed that blogs would be deleted after a certain period of inactivity and I was quite incorrect and found out by logging into my old email and seeing that I still received promos from tumblr regularly. Have been looking for a low-pressure outlet for a while and I think that will be here. I’m assuming I lost a lot of followers but hello to those of you who’ve stayed and are still active, glad to see you again!
