Love Books

me, consuming media: oh no, I hope this awakens something in me. I hope it's all I can think about, and that I smile to myself while considering the facets of it, turning it over in my mind and watching it refract light into rainbows. I hope it grows in me like a flower, twining through all that I am, so that in 30 years I can look back and realize I don't remember what I was like before I loved it. I hope I can find joy in it even when it's fallen to the back of my mind. I hope I remember that first moment I felt drawn to it, and the moment I knew it would stay. I hope I will be defined by the way I love.

me trying to make friends

Just wanted to share my latest miniature - I'm calling it 'Bloom' and it will be part of the 'Stories of Home' exhibit at the Peel Art Gallery, Museum and Archives later next month :)

I tried a few new techniques for this, and I'm happy with how it all came together. The flowers posed some slight issues here and there, and I have a few floral rejects here and there. I'll probably revisit this technique again in the future and make a few other smaller versions.

I haven't purchased a HP item in close to a decade - I use the books I already had as doorstops or to prop a laptop up for meetings nowadays.

There is NO "death of the author" with JK Rowling - she controls and continues to profit from her IP, and uses that money to fund hate groups.

Here's your periodic reminder of why it's so important not to buy any Harry Potter merch or watch anything JKR profits from.

It isn't about cancelling problematic media, idgaf. We're capable of reading books we already own with a critical eye.

It's about not giving more power to someone who is using it to materially harm our community.

This is Charles. He wants to go on a journey around tumblr. could you show him around?

PREACH IT LOUDER FOR PEOPLE IN THE BACK

No matter how shitty it might feel in the moment, most of the time when someone comes to you to communicate a boundary or a need or a negative feeling about something you did, it is actually a compliment. They are telling you BECAUSE they care about you and want it to work between you and because they trust you to care to do better. If they didn't care about you, they'd just avoid you. That uncomfortable convo is in fact a declaration of love and trust. Or at least intention of friendship. If they didn't like you, they'd just try to avoid you whenever possible. They wouldn't care to have The Talk (which is often scary and uncomfortable for them also). So try to treat their trust with care, even if it really upsets you to learn that you've accidentally hurt them
