#and I’m so tired

[queen-breha-organa]

I want to talk a little bit about Hawai‘i, because I have been thinking a lot about my people, and our lives.

The year 2023 marks 130 years since the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

On January 17th 1893, American businessman used their connections and military influence to dethrone Queen Liliuokalani by threat of force.

This annexation still impacts my people 130 years later. It still hurts us, it still haunts us,

For the last 130 years my people have suffered under America’s cruelty and indifference.

Unsustainable Tourism haunts us, causing a cost of living crisis, which turns into a rise in poverty, which turns into a rise in individuals experiencing homelessness. This cost crisis disproportionately effects my people, Kānaka Maoli. We cannot even afford to live on our on land. Our ancestral home.

And in turn, tourism then provides the most jobs. This industry pushes us off our land and into poverty, and then it turns around and sells us back our culture as a walking joke.

Our very identity is turned into entertainment. Our very culture is turned into entertainment.

And many of my people have no choice but to sell their culture so they can eat, so they can survive.

We have been put in a never ending cycle of misery and cultural destruction.

In addition, Military Involvement on our islands causes repeated incidents of ecological violence, and land disputes. The military take claim to land that belongs to my people, and they spill chemicals over and over, and poison the water we drink.

My people are suffering. Our culture is suffering.

And everyday more tourists come. Everyday more land is taken to build hotels. Everyday more culture is stripped and bastardized. Everyday more land is taken for military use.

I’m so tired of living this way. I’m so tired of waking up and watching the slow and agonizing death of my people.

I want us to live. I want us to thrive.

I want my people to survive.

I want to survive.

So please read up on the current issues that face Kānaka Maoli. Please educate yourself on my people’s history and current affairs.

Speak up and speak out. Talk about unsustainable tourism, and speak up about how harmful a “vacation” to Hawai‘i can be. Talk about the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom, and it’s injustice.

Hawai‘i is Hawaiians. Hawai‘i is our history. Hawai‘i is our home. Hawai‘i is the very blood that runs through our veins.

So please do not forget us, and please speak up with us.

Support Hawaiian Sovereignty. Restore Hawai‘i to Hawaiians.

“I thought I could become okay by pretending. But it turned out time couldn’t heal everything if I kept running away. For time to heal my wounds, I needed to stay true to my emotions and ride out the pain and grief. I don’t think people have to be okay all the time. Nor can they be.”

I’m just gonna leave that there and go cry in a corner for a minute

#my demon #drama rant #demon rant #spoilers!!! #episode 15 #i have actually had the worst week at work #nothing went right at all #and I’m so tired #and this just… really made me cry

fandom needs to both calm the fuck down and also get as SILLY as humanly possible. if I wanted everything I interacted with to be “””””ACCURATE””””” I’d read/watch the source material. I just wanna have a fun silly time tbh?? I get it that it’s hard to read a fic where the character you like is acting a lil outside the canon bounds but you know what?? That shit HITS for someone, let them have it. Let them be a little silly, I say, a little fun, just as a treat! As long as no community or no person is being harmed in the creation and execution of the fan work, it has a place. Yes, even the shit you hate. IT HAS A PLACE!!!

#fandom #sorry I just talked with someone about this today #and I’m so tired

[jewishbarbies]

I genuinely don’t understand the obsession with bringing back extinct species that don’t have a home anymore. the arctic can’t handle the animals in it right now (bc we’re killing it), WHERE are we putting a wooly mammoth?? where are we putting dinosaurs? where are we putting dodos? and WHY are we not putting that energy and funding into saving the species we still have while we have them?

#g talks #just saw a tiktok from a scientist talking about the dodo research #and i’m so tired #like what is even the purpose #what kind of life will they have #how can you garuntee we won’t just kill them again #mine #/mobile #/okay to reblog

Why the hell are a faction of zelink shippers SO aggressive?

And I don’t mean the ones that just like the ship and vibe, y’all are cool, I mean the truthers who yell at you and go the extra mile to “prove you wrong” if you don’t see them as romantic and/or ship them with different people.

#I see Link and Zelda as found family siblings in most incarnations #and i’m so tired #because some people genuinely want to crucify me for it #tloz #loz #the legend of zelda #legend of zelda #tears of the kingdom #tloz tears of the kingdom #toxic shippers

Just because someone reblogs posts about anti-racism, doesn’t automatically mean they are anti-racist. 

Don’t confuse online performative activism for genuine care or support. 

Not all forms of support can be seen online, and not all forms of online support are always meaningful. 

Pay attention to how people respond to difficult discussions, pay attention to how they view their favorite media and respond to criticism of it, pay attention to the small things, and show up for the big things. 

#Okay to rb #so many people just claim to be anti-racist and then the second you say something that doesn’t align with their views they fall back into #The internal bias in themselves #It’s so #ugh #I’m so tired of being belittled and ignored and talked down too #So many of my posts are just haunted by awful comments #And I’m so tired

[airsigh]

the school-induced existential dread is kicking in…….

#like why am i doing this #this is so hard #and i’m so tired

[cyborgdragongirl]

the downside of living my entire life surviving on spite and grit is i don’t get to relax or be chill ever

always running from one thing to the next as fast as can, never taking any time to sit down and breathe, not if i can help it

only ever actually sleep when i’m high on weed or have worked myself to physical exhaustion and i just crash wherever i’m sitting or laying

#sprenposting #idk #having lots of weird feelings today #haven’t been able to sleep well for at least a week and i’m running on empty #and have to doordash today and tomorrow and friday cuz moving expenses and just fuckin life is expensive #and i’m so tired #on the other hand my partners think it’s cute when i lay down on them and pass out #something about my head on their chest listening to their heartbeat and breathing lulls me to actual realsy sleep
