"On every world, wherever people are, in the deepest part of the winter, at the exact mid-point, everybody stops and turns and hugs. As if to say, "Well done. Well done, everyone! We're halfway out of the dark."
And so I say to all of you, no matter what your holiday of choice is: Congrats. We've made it this far. We're halfway out of the dark.
So, Christmas is tomorrow. I’m lucky enough to be spending it with my husband, my princess Alpine, and my friends.
But to anyone who feels alone today and tomorrow, know that you’re not. There are plenty of people that love and adore you, and even if you may not be able to spend this Christmas with them, you’ll be able to soon.
When things are hard, we feel like they’ll always be hard. But, and this is coming from someone who has been through a lot of hard times, it does get better. You’re always going to feel better, even in the smallest of ways.
And if worst comes to worst, kiddos, know that you’ll always have a place with me. You’re strong, you’re brave, and you’ll always be loved.
Seasons Greetings from Seasoning City, Merry Christmob, and Happy New Year, everyone! I know I'm a week late to Christmas, but I at least made it in time for New Years! 😜
It was just a couple months ago me and @baderpfulu finally decided to watch Mob Psycho 100 together and it's been a blast it's literally my new favorite thing of all time this show means so much to me now and I felt like drawing some of the characters for chirstmas (well, I wanted to post ON christmas but life and my lazy ass had other plans lol)
Kinda wish I had posted more art but a lot happened this year not just around the world but in my personal life too It's not like I haven't been drawing though I just haven't drawn anything I deem worthy of posting yet but I'll try to do more next year
Anyway... I hope y'all have a good 2024 and I'll see you around!
Finding out the creator of Kwanzaa tortured two black women, beat them with an electrical chord, put detergent in their mouths.
Wait till you all find out that that corny-ass negro also was a key informant for the FBI during COINTELPRO and he played an instrumental part in taking down the Black Panthers and had multiple Black Panther members killed.
He also founded Kwanzaa on the weird ideology that black Americans have no culture, so he used multiple cultures from, just, other random cultures, other African cultures, but also other cultures to make Kwanzaa. And it was all based on this ideology that black Americans have no culture.
He and his wife were also the leaders of cults.
This is the autobiography of Huey P. Newton, who was the founder of the Black Panthers, and he literally has an entire page where he writes about how bad Karenga was.
I feel like celebrating Kwanzaa and internalizing it as a black American culture or ritual is such a bad thing because Ron Karenga was such a bad person. And celebrating it gives credence to him and his ideologies.

So, there are now two rules if you celebrate or legitimize Kwanzaa. If you're going to defend it on the basis of something like, "well, that origin doesn't matter, it's okay to celebrate it anyway," then...
... you can never complain about "cultural appropriation" ever again.
... you can never complain about the origins of Thanksgiving ever again.
