˗ˏˋ i’m back, as dogines ˎˊ˗

Hello fellow 5 followers that probs still follow me and know who I am, it’s me, diigosims dogines and i can finally say that i’m back! i hope.

It’s been like 1 year almost and this past one has been great, i quite needed this break to recompose myself and to just relax and enjoy life. I honestly didn’t know if I should come back or not because i know that in september i will be very busy, but hey, if I have content to show, then why not post it too?

I’ve been gradually updating my pages and my aesthethic on them so you should deffo check them out in my navi page!

For the sake of my own sanity and liking of my work, i won’t be posting that much lookbooks and edits like i did before like they were so many am i right especially during school time (september). But, i have previously done some photo taking and stuff to keep up with this wich i think you will all like! I will be also posting some IMVU edits of outfits i did during this time wich i hope you don’t mind! :)

Anyways , untill next time! <3

anyway with all this #postivity going around and me being without a laptop i figure i’d kill some time and talk about why it makes my skin crawl. these all overlap with eachother to make a candy coated pile of shit so i may repeat myself a little sorry about that

vague it’s-just-the-internet positivity: “😌Don’t listen to the haters!!! none of this is real if u need a break from tumblr drama ur mental health is more important. 😌” Can do just as much harm as it does good. Bigots follow this mantra when they get called out because they’re told that their feelings are far more important than the oppression of marginalized people. It gives ignorant people an instant out. As soon as they have to take responsibility for their actions the community is toxic and can go to hell. Your this-isn’t-real positivity should encourage people to logout if they get stressed out over their editing style. It shouldn’t allow gross people to get away with being racist or predatory.

tone deaf positivity: [a marginalized person gets called a slur.] “🌈i just want all my followers to know that they are loved. here’s a big hug! spread this hug to the first five people on your dash!🌈” Doesn’t address anything going on at the fuck all. The tone of the post directly contradicts the reality of the situation. You can get serious for a second. Shitting out rainbows 24/7 is neither realistic nor healthy. Marginalized groups know we’re not universally loved and empty words can’t fix ignorance. If anything it’s just there to pacify people in said group while those on the outside pat themselves on the back for hitting the reblog button (even tho it so totally ruined the aesthetic of their blog god they’re so brave.) It’s like putting a band aid on something and claiming you healed the sick. Strong volunteers fighting disease vibes.

aggressively neutral positivity: “😚i think we should all just get along and calm down😚” aggressively neutral positivity will never definitively say Racism/Sexism/Homophobia etc Is Bad. Positivity posts never want to point fingers or rustle any feathers. They’re often so nondescript that they could be removed from the situation entirely and still make sense. Positivity doesn’t have to be so watered down and generic that it can be applied to literally everything. A cis person shouldn’t see some post you made specifically about transphobia and go “you know what? I CAN pass that test today!” Because that means your point was so vague that it was disgustingly easy to miss the whole point of it.

Don’t let your positivity be repurposed. If you want to support a cause, support it clearly and support it loud. Vague sugar coated universal positivity posts can get an individual to feel good for a moment or a day and there’s nothing wrong with that! If they make you happy when you’re feeling down that’s awesome! But every single negative situation can’t be fixed with emojis. A lot of the time it’s better to actually acknowledge negative things that are happening rather than cover up a shit cake with ten layers of frosting and edible glitter.

i really dont know how i feel abt this

THIS IS GOOD SHIT
