I'm out with lanterns, looking for myself

Can I get this on a loop pls?

get in babe we're 30 year old women we're having formative experiences that our teenage years denied us

not only do i support immigration, i don't want to live anywhere without immigrants

people talk a lot about detachment but at the end of the day it’s literally a normal human reaction to feel sad when someone you liked or cared about treats you poorly or things don’t work out. you cannot avoid that unless you’re a psychopath or you refuse to emotionally connect with anyone. extreme detachment is not healthy or normal. it’s okay to feel negative emotions, it’s part of what makes us human and alive… what’s important is picking yourself up and moving on

due to personal reasons i will be disintegrating into a swarm of ravens

my problem is i am a girl who likes the idea of doing so many things but in reality only has the energy to daydream about doing those things rather than actually doing them

i think love is revolutionary because when done right, it allows for accountability, for growth, for healing, for laughter, for joy, for connection, for touch, for coming home. maybe it is foolish of me, even a little stupid to think of it as such but when done right, when honoured, when fulfilled, when prepared and boiled and served well, it truly does magic, it truly changes lives, it nourishes, it feeds, it gives hope, hope, so much of it.

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 🙏🏾

For me, censorship laws are a lot like the death penalty. There are people I wish would die, but I don't want the government to have any say over who lives or dies (because then they can stretch laws out to justify killing someone they dont like). There are stories that I think are reprehensible and should have never been written, but I don't want the government to have any say over which stories are reprehensible (because then they can stretch out what they deem wrong out to fit anything they don't like)

be careful going for walks this september. the air might smell like recess in second grade and you might get sick to your stomach with melancholia
