It Was Time To Jump Out

so direct action is not an option available to you. what can you do right now instead?

Be mindful of the content you’re putting on your social media accounts. Stop retweeting/reposting violent images and videos of black people dying. Know that content like this, even with trigger warnings included, can be very emotionally disturbing/distressing and yes, even traumatic, for black people navigating the internet right now.

Report any images and videos you see where protestors’ faces are visible/unblurred, particularly in content surrounding the lootings. Don’t retweet or repost these images and videos. This can be a death sentence.

saw an article about how the water crisis in catalonia is causing problems for british travelers' annual spain holidays by 'forcing pool closures' and just the fact that water crises are positioned as annoying inconveniences for wealthy people on vacation rather than a very real problem for The People Who Live There Always is such a perfect example of how classism is applied on a global/international scale. i couldn't give less of a fuck about a brit's spain holiday being ruined, tell me how the water crisis is causing problems for locals and how tourism is exacerbating the issue.

love the word “rapscallion”. like not only are you a rascal but you’re also kind of spring onion about it too

guess my favorite rene descartes quote

who give a shit.

this blog is an iceberg. the things i’m NOT posting about could fill oceans

my hobbies? uhh.. peeling back the layers…. uncovering metaphors.. mirroring…..connecting dots…..stuff like that

There’s power in telling yourself ”no we don’t do that anymore” in response to self destructive urges.

if you’re on tumblr and over the age of 24 it means the mental illness won

I know there’s already lots of posts on here appreciating the colour light pink or baby pink as it’s such a warm and delicate colour, the colour of love, the colour of blushing cheeks and rose quartz and rosé wine and all things sweet but I just gotta say, wearing the colour pink just always makes me so radiantly happy and something seemingly so simple as choosing to wear a pink dress or pink jumper or wearing pink makeup can give me such a positive, uplifting, happy feeling and I love how colours can alter ones mood for the better so easily and fill you with self confidence.. wearing baby pink just makes me feel… elegant and blissful… a true simple pleasure 🌸

I got a nosebleed as a kid one time and my first impulse, literally the first idea in my head, was to collect my blood in my hands and rub it on the windows and then lay down on the floor like a corpse to scare my mother when she got home. as a prank that she would surely find really funny.

she did not find this prank really funny

so the house of representatives just passed a bill that will now move to the senate to BAN tik tok completely in the united states and they are expected to argue that “national security risks” outweigh the freedom of speech and first amendment rights. biden has already said that if it gets to him, he will sign it. whether or not you use the app…….this is something to be worried about

before u have the kneejerk reaction of “good I hate tt anyways” or “maybe ppl will go outside” that’s not what this is about! the government wants to remove an entire app with over 170 million american users (who in large have used it as a platform to build community, consume and spread world news, advocate, organize), and try to force people back to us based apps like meta and google. please think about the implications. please think about what else they could potentially do if they get away with this. this could very well set a precedent for free speech & constitutional rights as well know it, and it is imperative we are on the right side of it

By the way, the actual language of the bill would allow them to ban any website or internet hosted app from a "foreign adversary", as described in the vaguest possible terms. This isn't about tiktok and will not stop at tiktok.

now, THIS is the "tiktok ban bad" post to reblog.

sorry everyone it turns out gods mercy is finite & i just used up the last of it
