Main Blog; you can expect a random smattering of the following:
memes of all shapes and textures,
animals, art, graphic novels, history, lefty politics, medieval stuff, mental health, movie gifs; a wee bit of music, science, social justice;
VERY light presence of some fandoms: hozier,
the x files, true detective, skyrim, LotR, The Silmarillion among others.
Feel free to ask for tags.
I comment often on reblogs, sorry not sorry.

Really tired of being homeless and housing insecure. Its been 5 years and I am losing the strength and the will to carry on. I just want somewhere soft, safe, and permanent to lay my head and heal from the last 15 years of trauma. I don't think its going to arrive before my heart gives out. It sucks because I, and so many other people, know that it didn't have to be this way. There are many things I still want to do, but I can't do them if I'm not safe.
There is a sort of hollow satisfaction in fearing from a very young age precisely how your life would turn out badly and then to see it, more or less, and through no fault of your own, unfold as you predicted.
I want to go back.
I want to go back and scream with unholy fervor and bleeding gums at the ordinary people who were not being unreasonable when they told a five year old that they didn't need to worry about those things.
I want to burn the hopes and dreams I was given by every well meaning adult. I want my little hands to set them on fire in a waste bin in front of them, along with every single thing that I treasured.
I want burn a lot of things.
I want to break the arms that gently cradled my body, crush the hands that brushed away my tears. I want to slap the loving, reassuring smiles off the faces of my comforters and protectors.
I want to write a monograph about the invaluable and discomforting wisdom of pessimistic children.
I want to sit down at a table so low to ground, made specifically to accommodate small, trusting humans and whisper to that beautiful child who, in tears, was struggling mightly with writing their bs and ds and say, "the bad will out weigh the good".
I want to go back and heed what the sky was always telling me.
YES!!! Given this is my post with the most engagement by far of anything else on my blog, I've been meaning to write another post altogether to talk about Spiegelman's views on Israel, Palestine, and America.
And yes, support Palestine, demand a cease fire, speak out loudly against the genocide Israel is enacting on the Palestinian people, and call for countries around the world to do what they can to cut of support to Israel.

Just finished reading Maus for the first time and this part really spoke to me.
It's happening again, guys. More fics are 'disappearing' because someone changes a collection to private.
All the fics in that collection also change to 'unrevealed' and no one can find them or read them anymore. Only the owner of the collection can.
This is what you will see if the fic is part of a private/unrevealed collection⬇️
Only the author can remove their fic from an unrevealed collection. Ao3 sends you an email warning you that a collection your fic is part of has changed the status to unrevealed.
(This is the email you receive⬇️)
The BIG problem here is that if the author is no longer active on Ao3 and don't check the mails, the fic will be lost forever!
Please make sure you have this option unchecked in your preferences if you don't want your works added to collections without your consent⬇️
Be careful with allowing people to add your fics to collections, guys. I have deleted all the collections from my fics and I won't allow any collection requests anymore.
SHARE THIS to make more people aware of this problem!
I AM DYING OVER THIS PHOTO OF THE CROWD AT THE HOZIER CONCERT IN ARGENTINA.
All of the women and femmes are CLEARLY having the time of their lives, smiling and singing.
Meanwhile almost all of the men and mascs in the picture are emotionless, except for ol boy in the red circle. He knows he is in the presence of a forest diety.
lets all agree to not watch the eras tour on disney+. taylor swift (our favorite private plane owner, and favorite progressive icon unless it concerns literal genocide) has plenty of money and plenty of a platform (that she doesnt use to help people suffering from a literal genocide). also, disney doesnt need your money or watch time either, not when theres a bajillion places to pirate it.
so, can we all do things that are helpful such as (at the very least), speaking out about the genocide israel is committing? you wont even be anti-semitic to do so! my source: myself. i'm jewish.
if you have a bit of money, why don't you donate or support palestinian owned businesses (instead of throwing your money at disney or ts)?
i'm not saying you cant be a swiftie or wtv, but maybe consider this before you flood to disney and start paying for her album.
*ahem* pardon me, but at least two (probably three) of these are not mere oak trees, they are Live Oaks. Live Oaks. Feel the power in that phrase, bc it is warranted. Never pass up an opportunity to walk among the branches of a Live Oak. You will never be the same.
