drawing is so wack. what do you mean there's no stock image to reference of this exact composition i have in my head.
if you’re a white creator and your brown/black characters are always sassy, reckless, aggressive or cold and your white characters are always soft, demure, shy and introverted you should think about maybe why you did that

sorry to hijack your post, but imo this also applies to colourism dynamics, even if you have a full cast of colour. like i can only confidently speak from the south asian context, but RAMPANT colourism in the community has given rise to and perpetuated these same stereotypes of people with darker skin being more aggressive and sexually promiscuous than the “reserved, civilised” light skins.
This applies to your wlw and mlm ships as well. If the lighter or white one is always sweeter, nicer, softer, more innocent, or more feminine and the darker or poc one is always meaner, louder, more aggressive, more sexual, or more masculine then you’ve got a problem sweetie and that’s racism.
If you reblogged this from me then please reblog this addition too!
Sumerian Veteran: *has severe PTSD but doesn't know it because the term won't be invented for another 5000 years* I fight the same battle in my dreams every night and my relationship with my family has fallen apart.
Sumerian Healer: *saw hundreds of veterans with the exact same affliction before* You're cursed by desert demons.
actually we have recorded texts of sumerian warriors describing symptoms that closely match ptsd, and the diagnoses was not desert demons, but rather "Those dudes you killed are still attacking you with their ghosts because you killed them"

y'all not to doxx myself too hard but irl i have spent some time in my life in mental health recovery, and i am here to tell anyone who needs to hear it that people with multiples & schizophrenia & psychosis & BPD are fun and interesting and lovable people and my friends
i knew somebody in recovery who had a system of 12 personalities that he drew out in a nested chart for me. they did not remember each other's experiences. and it was cool! i could talk with one alter and then catch up another alter later about what we talked about! it was fun!
i knew a girl with psychosis who heard voices in static and running water but didn't want to get rid of them cause they never said anything distressing and they were familiar and comfortable. that's awesome! how cool is the variance of human experience??
bringing this back for disabled pride month. invisible disabilities count too. if you don't fuck with the mad community i don't fuck with you
who cares about taylor swift have you guys heard You Can Call Me Al by Paul Simon song of the summer
His channel on YouTube also highlights other home growers:
Very cool, down to earth channel. I love his vibe.
He also did a challenge a little while back to see if he could truly live "self-sufficient" off his homestead for a full month. He emphasized throughout the entire video he made about it that he literally could not have survived it without the aid of friends and community. He busted the "self-sufficient homestead" myth to pieces, and it was so rad.
His work totally upgraded how I approach gardening and personal sustainability, and I really want to read both of his books!
hey friends.
I want ya’ll to be aware of a situation going down in Tampa.
5 student activists facing up to 10 years in prison on bogus charges.
the fascists are seeking to build their capacity to crush dissent. we cannot allow them to do this unchallenged.
please read about all this and get involved. and reblog!! repost if you want too.
here’s the carrd for the organization these students are part of, the Tampa Bay Students for a Democratic Society: https://tampabaysds.carrd.co/
please get in the know on this one. there needs to be civilian pressure on this case. if people can be beaten, choked and groped by police and threatened with jail for up to 10 years for carrying signs and chanting against the reactionary policies of Ron DeSantis, it’s gona get bad very quick.
we all know Florida is the testing ground by which the most reactionary and fascist members of the American ruling class are amping up their capacity of repression.
if they aren’t beaten back right here, they will go for your towns and cities, your schools and universities, your local government and eventually the whole of the country.
they cannot be allowed to win this one.
