holding hands with the hope that our peace is right here

hello y’all, here to remind you guys i’m still (semi) alive and (semi) kicking

i participated in @minakeweek again this year on my twitter, except this time i made an actual attempt to do the whole week, considering……i didn’t have the same Stuff™ to deal with last year. god it was a long, exhausting week considering i’ve never finished an art week challenge before, but i still feel accomplished for it though (days & prompts are in the captions)

huooighygh they really gave yugiri that boob meat

remember when you were 12 and the internet seemed like an endless source of fun and now you just scroll through tumblr and check instagram?

or is that just me

thought i was the only that felt this way lol

The internet when you were 12 in 2007: Most of your friends didn't use it and neither did your parents. Corporations didn't fully understand it yet, commercialization consisted almost exclusively of banner ads. The most popular social media was MySpace, of which you could personalize almost every aspect and nobody's parents used. Instead of having one Nerd Website that everyone uses, you had accounts on a bunch of different forums related to your interests and each had its own unique environment. YouTube was an uncharted terrain of kids just like you uploading whatever they wanted, unpolished and unedited with no ad partnerships.

The internet in 2020: Literally everyone is online, every member of your family has an account on each of the most popular websites. Instead of being a place you can enter on your own terms when you're ready, the internet now comes to you, giving you a little spike of anxiety with every new notification. Ad spam is everywhere and it's becoming increasingly harder to differentiate between real people and marketing schemes. The most popular social media websites have streamlined, neutral colored UIs that cannot be personalized at all beyond a singular photo and username. Instead of being a haven for fellow weirdos, everyone is a denizen of the internet now. 90% of online activity for your interests takes place on a single website, the community is going to be devastated if it ever goes down but what can be done? YouTube is just mainstream television but on the internet now, YouTubers are rich celebrities who live in Hollywood mansions.

Any time someone says “if it saves just one life it’s worth it,” expect it to be something that will inevitably lead to more lives being lost if enacted.

Those who would save one life by violating the rights of all other lives, do not care for the one life, they only care for power.

I picked a bad year to put so much faith in.

You were the chosen one! 😒

You can both believe that not all police are bad and that the police system is deliberately designed to encourage police brutality and corruption, you can both support the protests and the idea that peaceful protest is still met with police brutality, and that agressive protesting gets results, but also believe innocent homes and businesses should not be targeted.

You can recognize that the police are the ones who are inciting violence intentionally because the state is rigged to give us the illusion of choice, and for this reason ALSO be against the violent attacks on innocent homes and businesses.

You can be sick to your stomach at the many MANY videos of police brutality that have come forward while still believing that it is they state and not cops in general that are the problem.

Your stance on current events does not make you a bad person, not knowing what to think especially as new information is being revealed daily does not make you a bad person. Blocking horrible things from view especially if you have mental illnesses and are triggered by them does not make you a bad person.

“God I Wish Things Were Not A Fucking Orwellian Nightmare And There’s Nothing I Personally Can Do To Fix It And I Would Like Not To Think About It While Trying To Look At Pikachu Memes” is a perfectly reasonable take.

i love when the woman in my bluetooth earbuds says connected... yes we are girl <3
