Finished A New Piece. I Think It Speaks To My State Of Mind. Notice The Fine Details. :)

Plenty of highly intelligent people end up getting sucked in to cults because they just wanted people to hang out with. There are antivaxxer nurses. Your ability to act on empirical reason breaks down fast if your social and emotional needs aren't being met.

Ao3 does not need an algorithm, you're just lazy

Ao3 does not need a 1-5 star rating system, you just want to bring down authors writing for FREE

Ao3 does not need automatic censorship, it is an archive, therefore anything can be posted

Writing or reading about something illegal does not mean the author nor the reader condones it, if that were true, you could never read a story involving anything negative

Purity culture is ruining fan culture and you all are fucking annoying

caring about things is cool being passionate is cool being earnest is cool being genuine is cool being compassionate is cool

The thing that frustrates me the most about dark academia’s white supremacy is how narrow the worldview is. Is it elegant or just Western European?? Are those buildings really alluring and mysterious or are they just gothic and made in English style?? For something that claims to be so superior than all else in finding beauty in everything they cannot find beauty in what is not white, especially when it comes to surroundings and their “superior” literature and their knowledge. Heavy on their knowledge.

Ways to Solarpunk-up your neighborhood

The "punk" part of solarpunk is, of course, defying societal norms and governmental laws in the name of building a better future.

Isee a lot of great things happening, such as community gardens, climate protests and more and more people going vegetarian/vegan etc. I took a walk around my neighborhood yesterday to find things that I like about my town. I love to see people planting fruit trees in their garden. I love the little shops in their driveway/front yard with their harvested crops, homemade jam, fruit juice etc.

Public art

I love this artist, who, every few weeks, puts up a new string art piece. It's weird and I doubt the local government likes it. I'm friends with the artist's neighbor, and she says that they want to "decorate the town with art". That's a pretty punk statement that I definitely can get behind. It certainly is fun to see what the artist has come up with every time I walk past.

Mini libraries

Mini libraries can be found in every neighborhood. People place them in their front yard. This one has a little bench with it too. I love it so much. Access to free books, all day, everyday, almost everywhere. Tell me that isn't such a solarpunk initiative. They've sprouted up the last decade like weeds and I couldn't be happier.

Give & take cabinet

What's a better way to show your community you care about them than a give & take cabinet. Clothes, shoes dishes, menstrual items, shampoo and more. I'm planning on tidying up this cabinet soon and adding some stuff of my own. As someone who is pretty tight on money myself, I'm very happy to see a way I can get stuff I need if I'm in a pitch.

If you want you can give it a twist, you could consider making a tools library or a food cabinet as well.

Let's take care of each other and take care of our planet! We can build a kinder, better future if we tried. Love and Peace💚☮🌍

I just got described as an "ad hating commie" by someone because I said a minute of youtube ads is unpleasant. fully spent 5 minutes arguing and defending youtube ads. insane stuff

me: you should allow for disability in your utopias

tumblr: in my utopia disability does not exist because disability is a social phenomenon <3

you are missing the point the point is being missed so much and I am so tired. most utopian visions of the future do not account for anyone who is not able-bodied. sure, maybe you’re on the extreme end of the social model, but you still have to look around and wonder where all the wheelchairs and white canes and sign languages have gone

it’s not progressive or interesting to say your utopia has no disability because all disabilities are social if you’re not going to take this point seriously. there is a huge gaping hole in the popular ideas of a perfect future, and that hole is full of the disabled people supposed “progressives” shoved out of their way

filmmakers and audiences and critics alike all need to start suspending their disbelief again
