A photograph from the 1870’s showing tens of thousands of bison skulls. They were mass slaughtered by the U.S. Army to make room for cattle and force Native American tribes into starvation.

“Far from inciting feelings of disgust or horror, the slaughter of bison was seen by European settlers as a means to wealth, a healthy pastime, and most chilling of all, as a way to end the primary source of sustenance for the Plains Indians and so drive them from their land.”

Blehhhh another wife

legend tells of a mysterious being called “nuance” that allows multiple things to be true at the same time. some say you can still hear its voice whispering in the trees

I love having online friends from other countries. You can learn about something that alledgedly is a thing over there, and just go on discord and ask "hey have you ever had a carp in your bathtub?" and get an answer like "no, but my grandparents did at least once."

Reading this post is a great example of my pov when I remember that snow is a real thing that exists during winter for some people and not just exclusively on fictional mountain tops

Tumblr hates trans women, this is a known fact

Like it's really not a surprise that they (staff) keep banning trans women, they hate trans women and therefore do not apply the same moderation standards they do for other blogs

When I was running the amtrak-official blog and in the closet, tumblr intervened several times as a result of the trademark filings to defend my blog, stating satire, but in May shortly after I came out as trans, I was randomly terminated for a week with no explanation given

people who are obsessed with IQ would buckle if there was a number associated with how pleasant you are to interact with

I think every lesbian who says she wouldn't date a bi woman is functionally on the same wavelength as men who say they would only marry a virgin

it all boils down to "penis steals women's purity" and there's literally no non-shitty way to believe that. being gay doesn't give you a get out of jail free card for being sexist

yes i'm a beginner artist. yes i have been a beginner artist for the past 15 years. don't question it

we can begin for as long as we like my friend we have our whole lives ahead of us

Like yeah if you literally stalked me for my whole life you'd find a lot of dirt but that'd be insane behaviour

And if you genuinely believe you have never done anything shameful, regrettable, bad etc. in your entire life it's really not a fair or reasonable expectation to have for other people

that's why digging through someones socials to find dirt is such a damaging part of everyone having social media from a young age. Like, I get that everyone's tired of the "oh, he was only a boy then when he said that racist shit" and it was from the year prior. and He's like 25. But there is so much shit people say and do that if you posted it while everyones dunking on them for a bad take, it would look way worse. We are not meant to be judged at all time, there's a reason saying someone is "judgemental" was considered a bad thing. If your entire existence is imperfectly preserved as a transcript of your life, that means you unconsciously live your life in fear of that surveillance and judgement. You can't grow like that. you can't live like that. Youll live a less honest version of yourself both in fear of someone who will come along on their worst day to cast aspersions on every aspect of your life, but also because you're trying to appeal to any type of person who could read your lifes transcript.

drew an alter....

his name is Denvor and he's kind of an older brother figure,,,

straight people are so fascinating even when they aren't actively trying to be homophobic. I had a class a few years ago where one assignment was to summarize some eighth century arabic poetry about going out for drinks with the lads before indulging in some gay sex and like half the class came in and said "I'm sorry idk what was happening in this one, they mention having sex with a servant but they also say the servant's a man? where'd the woman come from? I'm so confused." and a few days ago in a shakespeare class I made a comment about how cleopatra and octavius caesar are kind of parallel characters in possessively bartering for mark antony's attention and one of my classmates responded as though I'd been talking about octavia and not caesar, despite the fact that I said "caesar" and "him" multiple times while describing the actions he specifically took. fully incapable of comprehending of anything that's even a little bit gay.

i like imagining that it feels good as fuck to be multiple raindrops sliding down a windowpane and then combining when you touch. that's gotta be so nice.
