Seeing characters in romance stories just jetting between countries at a moment's notice with no thought for visa; seeing airports as sites of triumphant climaxes and romantic denouements instead of places of fear and danger where a sword hangs above your head— it all breaks off little pieces of my heart. They're constant reminders that my people will never be human enough in the colonial world order to be allowed to move freely around it. No matter what your race, those non-refugees living in the Global North will never understand what it's like to be part of a global ghetto where your passport is nothing but a trembling supplication and humiliation.

#race #racism #westerners will never know the dehumanization of the visa office #the ability to afford a plane ticket and the ability to get your visa stamped goes hand in hand #bc you're not allowed to leave the country unless you can show that you can afford to stay there and come back #you have to swear in blood that you won't overstay a minute longer than you're permitted to and sign your firstborn as collateral #a western airport is the closest i can come to the muslim experience bc the authorities will only care about my skin tone #that season 2 finale of Sense8 where the Mexican‚ and Kenyan and Indian characters of the cluster were able to flee to the US within hours #at the same time as the south korean and westerners #had Lankan fans falling down laughing #we're willing to suspend our disbelief of the science fiction telepathy shenanigans but THAT is a bridge too far #sadly not even the worst of the Wakowskis racefails #I love that show but its Caucasity was aggressive #global south #global north #immigration #refugees #islamophobia #no fly list #white supremacy #coloniality #western imperialism #colonial capitalism #knee of huss

thinkin' about some MG Graphic Novel ideas I have,, and about these two girlies that become unlikely friends in one of the story ideas I have :) (not a historical graphic novel, but more fantasy/historical inspired as it takes place in a fantasy/magical world that is loosely based on ours but y'know, has literal magic)

Probably upper MG/Young YA? If I had to choose an age group that this story was aimed for :)

Basically the premise is: The blonde girl (name pending) travels to a magical Eastern/Chinese-inspired country with her rich (Evil) father, and befriends the daughter (also name pending lol) of said country's emperor. Shenanigans ensue :) Also... young love??

#not tolkien #my art #I swear i won't spam y'all with non tolkien stuff all the time XD #I'm just most active on this blog when it comes to art #tolkien art for the most part but still #anyway! I've been into the idea of creating a MG Graphic Novel lately :> #hanfu #chinese hanfu #fantasy hanfu #18th century #graphic novel #indie comic #also just in case anyone is wondering: No it's Not a 'white savior' story lmao #if anything blond girl is more of a constant damsel in distress lmaooo #she just happens to be white and the story mainly takes place in an eastern/chinese inspired country

hey uh im not coming back just yet I just wanted to say I love yall

#Also I'm kinda scared I won't be coming back #Like #I love all my moots but I just dont have the urge to post things or look at other people's posts anymore #And it's making me sad #Like I took a break for 2 days and suddenly I don't need this place anymore #Maybe it's for the best for now because I can't anymore with all the “fuck israel” posts #Like yeah I know #I know everyone hates my country #But whats going on isn't my fault #And what's going on hurt me and I lot of people I care about #And yet all I see day after day is fuck Israel boycott Israel fuck Israel boycott Israel ban Israel from the eurovision fuck this fuck that #Nothing about the people who were murdered and are still dying on my side #Nothing about the hostages who are being raped and tortured in there for half a year now #Only “bUt ThEy WeRe tReAtEd WeLL” #And loads of bullshit fake news #I'm sorry #But it's too much #And it's not my fault #So for now I'll be a bit quieter #I'll still reblog a but every now and then #But until things are a bit better I'm fucking off #Goodbye

I'm scared

There was a rocket that exploded above Dalyat El Carmel

They never got this close to here

It's not even a jewish village, it's mostly druze people there

It's getting closer every time

And i'm scared

It's 15 minutes from here

I heard the boom from where i live

The house shook

Israelis don't deserve to die.

Palestenians don't deserve to die.

No one does.

I just want everything to go back to normal

Please

#i really think that people that do not understand what's going on here #should not. pick a side #jewish people have no other country to go to where they won't be met with constant antisemitism #and palestenian people deserve to have money for nessecities without the Hamas taking it for weapons #Hamas aren't freedom fighters #they're a terrorist organization #palestenians SHOULD have a country that is universally recognized #but they should recognize that israel should also be a country #even before this war there were people getting rockets from gaza on a daily basis #this is just the rockets reaching further #and coming from lebanon as well #people have been kidnapped. went to celebrate peace and never returned home. there's a couple where i live that are now both missing a leg. #people murdered. people who now have PTSD. the Hamas is forcibly keeping people in north Gaza to use them as human shield #i just want all this to be over. to stop needing to worry every day if my brothers are alive. my extended family who live in closer ereas. #and it's just depressing coming here to escape and being met with people spreading false information without checking. #having to block 5 more mutuals every day. it's just. depressing. and that's not what i come here for. pleasw #please think before you reblog #israel/hamas #israel hamas conflict #israel hamas war #israel gaza conflict #israel palestine conflict #israel gaza war #israel/palestine

[purgetrooperfox]

how come you do post much about gaza?

assuming you meant don't*? because this makes no sense otherwise? anyway

that you don't see my activism doesn't mean it isn't happening. tumblr is a terrible platform for activism, so I don't use it for that

#i won't pull up donation receipts for a fuckign tumblr anon #i won't sit here and try to explain that tumblr activism is typically restrained to tumblr. people rb the posts and never do anything else #people here notoriously do not click on links #so what i do. what i donate. where i protest. my household's boycotting. i do it and i talk to people about it but i don't do it here #because it won't do jack shit here and i'm trying to connect with people who might actually participate. for tangible results #sorry if that sounds Angry. it's because it is. #if y'all want to free palestine then you have to participate more than just reblogging. boosting voices is good but it takes more than that #tumblr rbs don't put pressure on politicians. they don't fund relief efforts. they don't pay for esims. they don't demonstrate organized #support for palestine in a Visible Manner to your city or state or country #they aren't disruptive #that's why you don't see me post on here. i'm trying to concentrate my efforts where they might do something #NOW. before you come for my throat. obviously there is nothing wrong with circulating posts about aid and resources to help #but then you should really consider like. contributing to those resources. that's key. that's the point. and some people here do! great! #i just. am more likely to be able to find and reach people who do in other places #maybe i should've said all that in the post instead of the tags but i really don't want to bring a bunch of misunderstanding down on myself #asks answered #'i wont sit here and explain' and then i did. damn

#nothing is more depressing than working on my cv #because I just don't feel like I have marketable skills #and so many of the writing and research posts I come across on job sites are like ''you'll be working alongside ai'' #I even saw a copywriter post that said ''you won't be doing any writing or editing. you job will be to refine and improve ai prompts #so that the ai can more consistently produce the texts we need'' #like hello #the person doing that job is literally making themself more obsolete by the day #so here's the plan #I need to take any job that pays vaguely well #and use that money to either do short corses #or save up to go so my masters #that conclusion is inescapable #just. for now I'm still stuck on step 1 : finding a decent job #and (perhaps I'm being too picky) but post covid I do not want to go back into anything in the tourism industry #it's too precarious and honestly just comes down to entertaining rich people which pushes me further left every time i think about it #I considered joining the communist party. but 1) they're still part of the tripartite alliance with the anc... which is a no from me #and 2) communist révolution should spontaneously happen in industrialised countries with surplus wealth when the proletariat arise #south africa does not have surplus wealth nor class consciousness really. it's still filtered through post apartheid racial groupings #which is unhelpful because the black bourgeoisie are not our allies just because they're black #and trying to impose communism in a society without the surplus wealth didn't work out too well throughout the 20th century #so what does that leave you with #parties like cope ? plagued by the same issues as the anc ? no thank you #(I did also study politics btw which is why I've even considered these career paths) #(although I haven't worked in politics or governance since graduation so maybe that doesn't even matter anymore it's been years) #all I want is a job that pays fairly and leaves me with enough free time to do my hobbies #I do not have the grindset I'll admit that #which is why I've enjoyed the art industry #but again. it just comes down to entertaining rich people in the small galleries which is needlessly stressful #and the larger non-commercial galleries and musea aren't hiring atm... #and that's it. rant over I guess since this is the 30th tag

[cashmere-caveman]

for a fandom that thrives on whump i honestly i wish there was more fic in the mctna tag abt hwi dealing w chronic pain bc honestly the opportunities for both fuckery and tenderness are endless and honestly this is mostly @ myself to finish my wip abt abt seon-ho lying awake listening to hwis lungs rattle as he sleeps but like. as a consequences enjoyer i love it when these consequences get some spotlight

#this is not aimed at anyone btw lmao i Not vagueposting #i am just very tired today and i need to romanticise the way sometimes ur body can just not. the way it fucking Won't #these guys went through hell and both hwi and seon-ho canonically self medicate w various levels of self destruction #and i am not saying that we necessarily need more sad fic! but i thought abt the 'tis of thee' series by staidwaters again #and how i fucking love that even though it is a fix it au in many aspects it also drives home the toll all of this took on them #the body keeps the score etc etc #idk where i was going w this i gtg hoover the living room before my friends come over for cooking dinner tgt <3 #my country: the new age #seo hwi

The first German media is carefully starting to report on our Foreign Minister "warning against" the absolute bloodbath "humanitarian challenge" of an all-out Israeli attack on the refugees in Rafah.

And I found myself baring my teeth against the radio like a weirdo because I can't contain my disgust and fury.

You.

Were all cheering this on UNTIL NOW.

You.

Were persecuting anyone who raised the alarm about the ON-GOING humanitarian catastrophe as an "antisemitic terrorism supporter". People lost JOBS. People lost social standing. PEOPLE WERE SUED.

Everyone with a human heart WAS SCREAMING ABOUT THIS FOR FOUR MONTHS but you were too fucking racist and arrogant to listen, because "who can trust these Muslims and anyone who lets themselves by MANIPULATED by them amirite".

And NOW that 30 THOUSAND bodies are counted and MANY will follow, NOW that EXACTLY WHAT PEOPLE SAID WOULD HAPPEN IN RAFAH IS HAPPENING.

Now you're getting scared because those people who kept screaming about human rights might ACTUALLY have been onto something, and you're seeing yourself unable to wiggle out of the fact that YOU TOO cheered on this ethnic cleansing, you see yourself in some DEEP SHIT of I don't fucking care "public opinion" or something, because CERTAIN AS HELL IT'S NOT SUDDENLY GROWING A CONSCIENCE.

And now you try to fucking quickly get up some "plausible deniability" defence, so that you might be protected from the full brunt of "The world is watching the targeted massacre of refugees on livestream and YOU personally told the perpetrators that it's fine, go ahead, no red lines, do as you wish because PER DEFINITION your ends are pure of heart and justify ANY means physically possible" UNTIL THIS FUCKING MOMENT WHEN IT BECAME TOO OBVIOUS TO FURTHER DENY REALITY.

I fucking hate everyone.

I hope their stories haunt you to the end of your days, awake and asleep.

Germany is complicit and was ENTHUSIASTICALLY so until THIS moment, where now everyone is trying to wiggle out.

"We just didn't KNOW! UwU"

FUCK THIS ENTIRE FUCKING NAZI COUNTRY

#palestine genocide #gaza genocide #i spit on your dishonest 'oh noez plz don't bomb the refugee camp and murder everyone D:' public whining #refugee camps have been bombed from day one #you said 'well there was hamas under there I'm certain' #now you're getting scared the world won't be buying your shit any longer #now begins the 'we just didn't KNOW' phase and probably also the 'well MY family was in the secret resistance' phase #like you didn't assault pro ceasefire protesters #fucking nazi country #did it work? did you clean the guilt of the holocaust off your hands by facilitating ANOTHER genocide? did it???? #or does one genocide plus another genocide only equal MORE ATROCIOUS HUMAN SUFFERING HUH #don't come to me with this 'wow i didn't know it was this bad wow i was always against it wow never again' shit #I'll punch you in the face i am DONE #save rafah #save palestine #save gaza #genocide #crimes against humanity #germany is complicit #free palestine from german guilt #german stuff #fuck you baerbock it's too late to get out of responsibility now #you too are guilty #you allowed this to happen too and you were FINE with it until you got scared #probably the moment you realized you were in over your head and justice will come for all of you eventually #see you all in the Hague #if any justice exists in this world

#cascoon #it's like silcoon‚ but purple and pointy! desperately trying to remember how this one comes about. i'm gonna seem like a fake pokémon fan #i know silcoon and cascoon are both evolutions of wurmple. but i don't remember what the criteria are. is it a gender thing? hold on google #oh. it's just. some hidden personality value. so it's effectively random #y'know what. i think that's better than it being a gender thing. shoutout. but it could be considerably more interesting #maybe i'm just conditioned by the hitmonline to think that every evolution criteria has to be stupid and obscure and insane #or finizen At All #or all the stupid-ass trade evos. do not like trade evos. i do Not like trade evos! i have said this before but i will keep saying it #i just realized i called cascoon purple and pointy as though silcoon was not pointy. i'm not with it at all this morning #i just woke up‚ y'all. can you tell. can you tell i'm not sentient yet. i have to go to work in like an hour and a half and i am Not ready #anyway. i'm gonna get this guy up in the queue and dustox and then take my meds. see you guys in the dustox post #this must look so weird to y'all. since dustox is gonna be either multiple hours or a whole Day after cascoon #but i queue up two to three pokémon at once every morning to keep a good backlog in the queue in case one morning i miss it #which has happened before. it's saved my ass before. and i'm gonna need to use it at the beginning of july #sneak peek for you guys. i'll be heading out of town on june 30th to go to the other side of the country for work. so i won't be around #any posts you see from june 30th to july 4th are gonna be like super duper queued in advance. and i probably won't be able to answer asks #or anything like that. i dunno if i'll do a formal announcement bc no one will even notice but for you dear reader #who read this deep into my mile-long cascoon tags. you now know that i will be out of town from june 30th to july 4th #use this power wisely….

It's so wild and refreshing to me to want to be HERE. In my country. In my general area. Where I am

#for years I've yearned for people from the screens in other countries and always wanted to be elsewhere and it gets hard #especially being left untethered after relationships break or friendships fade #I still have friendships but this is my place right now and whatever I need to find next I have to find it where I am #trying to bond with people locally feels like I'm in school again. super worried it won't work yet so happy when it does #there's an uncertainty to it and it's. different #but also last few times I was with people I didn't feel the need to be on my phone at all save from showing the person something #which is. foreign to me #idk. something is changing and shifting towards what I've been searching for. just a bit #the steps have been small. and are still small. it's like climbing up a spiral staircase #been going on forever. long way come and nowhere near the top #but it's like I just passed a window and noticed the view is really nice out #this was brought to you by: upstairs neighbour woke me up at 4 again #bien rambles

[monty-glasses-roxy]

I apparently won the bonds again and as soon as I check my emails I have one from YouTooz like "HEY LOOK WE HAVE THE CUTEST FUCKING GUYS TO SELL YOU NOW COME ON YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO SINCE YOU ONLY EVER BUY THEM WHEN YOU WIN COME OONNN YOU KNOW YOU WANT CUTE LIL GUYS WE PROMISE WE'LL ONLY CHARGE A KIDNEY FOR POSTAGE TO YOUR COUNTRY THIS TIME-"

#I need to sort out an income god damn... #someone suggested like a ko-fi or something but like. bro. I make so little stuff people with money care about #what would be the point? #not exactly captain popular over here lmao #need to go get the benefits ball rolling... been meaning too I've just felt like I've been drowning lately #I'm all muddled up so I gotta... figure out what I'm doing #I would LOVE giant cupcake plush though #and I would get it too! #if the postage to my country didn't DOUBLE THE OVERALL PRICE #like come ON #this is RIDICULOUS #why is the US so fucking expensive to get things to and from??? #i may have won some moneys but the cupcake itself costs more than that #what I won wouldn't even cover the postage ffs #AND THE FOXY PLUSH IS ADORABLE #I might go on Etsy and hunt down some good plushies that won't cost me every organ in my body #if that's even possible #then again I've wanted to get into sewing and I was gonna start with plushies so... #could just make my own but I just. is it really such a crime to want nice things? :/ #anyway that's my complaints on this. #onto other stuff #pop rox talks

Maybe I'm a little naive, but frankly, I'd rather believe in the good in people than be cold and unfeeling again. Sure, I know I'll get hurt for it, but, frankly, I think it's worth it. Bringing kindness into the world is worth it, always, I think. I won't shut my heart to the world on the chance I might be hurt.

And, well, an old lady who barely speaks English and Norwegian that's in need of some tech help is worth helping. She deserves kindness, even if (and that's a big if) she's using me for free help (which I severely doubt, as she's old and starting to forget things).

Kindness is always worth it, I think. Hope is what keeps us standing, especially in a world that's steadily turning darker. So maybe I'll take a few hits for it, but, well, what's life without a little risk?

#text_loke #and like. i won't help her during work hours due to the time it takes to help her #and also like. it costs us a lot of money if i'm stuck helping her #i just. i'm soft i guess? i just can't let her struggle on her own. she's alone in a country that doesn't understand her #and i will check if the librarians can help her in the future. hopefully they can #as i sincerely do not have the time for it. my master's is coming up and uhhhh Stress #i just find it worth it to be kind. to be good. to be hopeful. keeps me alive #i come alive by helping. i come alive by being kind

Song of the Day: March 26

"Songs About Rain" by Gary Allan

#song of the day #you might think that this is the opposite of 'Groovy Little Summer Song' but nope! closer to same because (drumroll) #they are one of the very best categories of thing: Country Songs About Country Songs #I love them. I adore them #'Songs About Rain' is one of the strongest and best examples of type I have (also 'Cheatin Songs' by Midland. impeccable) #'and it sure ain't easin my pain / all these songs like / Rainy Night in Georgia / Kentucky Rain #Here Comes That Rainy Day Feelin Again / Blues Eyes Cryin in the Early Mornin Rain #they go on and on and there's no two the same / oh it would be easy to blame / all these songs about rain' #what a gift. what a delight. legitimately hard to sing this song in a mournful voice because it makes me so damn happy #anyway as you might glean from how this is posting at 3 pm my time: my sleep schedule is /fucked/ #I did have part of the bad conversation with my boss on Monday (immediately followed by garden times #which so overtook me that I spoke only about the garden and good spring feeling in my song post. what a blessing the garden is) #but mostly what happened is I said 'hey it is technically possible for me to make this but it will not help it will not do anything useful' #and my boss said 'but you can make it' and I said 'yes but we shouldn't. it will be a waste of time' and she said 'make it by Thursday' #and I said 'I absolutely cannot make it by Thursday. if I finish instead this better thing I've already been working on--' #and she said 'no we don't care about that thing. make part of the useless thing. by Thursday morning' #and I said 'if I bring you part of the useless thing and part of the good thing and I directly compare them in front of you--' #and she said 'we'll look at whatever you have Thursday morning but it's the useless thing we care about' #so the meeting is scheduled and I'm going to plead for the life of my better thing and probably the best I'll get is permission to do both #which is. I mean the useless thing is going to be a time-waster for sure but at least it won't be actively detrimental to anything? #it'll be fine I'll make it be fine. the inherent problems of when your boss doesn't actually know what you do for them I guess :/ #(also maybe. maybe if it comes down to it. maybe I'll just make the good thing for myself and use it to make my own life better #and someday maybe they'll ask for a project that works and then I'll be able to dramatically unveil it but either way I'll benefit from it #hmm maybe yeah)

[iguessitsjustme]

I have regrets

#do not go into the mdl comment section #i should know better and yet #i have seen some truly horrifying things this night #and i know it's for a show that i am not a fan of #but my concerns are about how casually racist and lowkey homophobic some of the comments are #without any self awareness about it at all #saw someone say that the writing sucks but that's fine because you can't expect good writing out of thailand because it's a small market #and i'm just like pARDON me??? there is AMAZING writing coming out of thailand #just because you watch shit shows doesn't mean they're all shit what in the absolute shit is that? #if i was feeling feistier i would call them out on it #but i used up all of my fight earlier at work because [redacted] department sucks and i hope they get told off #for screwing over me and my coworker who doesn't seem as annoyed as i am but now i have no energy #but that's some shit to just casually say you won't ever expect good writing out of thailand #when uwma and bed friend and triage and 1000 stars and so many more exist #and that's just bl so what the fuck are you going to write off an ENTIRE country saying they can't write? absolutely the fuck not #i hope that person stubs their toe and then right when it starts to feel a bit better they stub it again #i hope their pens always have barely any ink so they have to struggle to write anything #i hope they never get to have wonderfully delicious thai food ever again #and they can only ever eat midwestern casseroles that are more jello than anything else #oh these tags are long oops i guess i'll end my rant here
