full of emotions, unfortunately

being black in any art community is such a strange feeling cause you’ll see just blatant racism being expressed in others art and you have to just casually ignore it, for your sake if anything, colorism being something that’s just fundamentally there in every artist and you deal with it cause it’s not worth it in the end to even think of it too hard let alone even mentioning it, it’s definitely something

Hello nonblack reader of this post, I think you ought to share this one so that you and your peers can actively remind yourselves 1) of how your Black peers feel when you tolerate antiblack racism in your art spaces for entertainment and 2) that we notice it, but don't believe it is secure around enough of you to bring it up 🙏🏾

bitches hate me for my earnest whimsy and my pathological degree of avoidant behavior

one argument you often see about fanfiction is that it's like 'training wheels' writing? like 'oh it's fine to do that while you're still learning, it's easier than coming up with your own ideas'. and I have to say I have just never agreed with that.

it IS a little funny when i have some kind of Home Maintenance issue in the middle of the night only to realize that part of the reason i'm dealing with this now is because the previous homeowner ALSO had this issue and instead of fixing the problem, you know, CORRECTLY, decided that a solution involving duct tape was the ideal method of fixing the dryer

one of the "gender is fake" discoveries i made while transitioning is that, like, gendered cuts of shirts do SO MUCH to change a persons silhouette? like a goof 20% of the "biological difference between men and women" that people imagine is just shirt cut. its just clothing cut. its insane.

hopefully i'll get to do something other than endure soon. that would be really nice

i'm actually curious, what trinkets do you guys have on your keychains? 🗝️

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, suck a fellow off to completion, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
