ⓘ Tip
If you feel unfulfilled by how you spent your time today, you can stay up late to try to combat the sense of dissatisfaction. This will ensure that you feel even worse tomorrow.

ALT"OR WOMEN IN GENERAL"???? HELLO
Reblog to bully people who don't like female characters or women in general off the internet.
it'd be funny if people got notifications when you queued a post from them instead of reblogging it. like this
Do you know how weird it feels to casually make future plushie plans and feel like I’m thriving with my art career while ICE is threatening to go door to door for “immigrants” and “criminals” (visibly brown people) and I have to carry proof I’m American with me every time I go out? I say this specifically here because I know it’s a majority white American website. Like I already thought of who I would call and go stay with if I were to be deported lol. I’ve soothed myself with “maybe it wouldn’t be so bad as long as I don’t get shot at or disappear”. And it’s just annoying because my white peers do not have shit like this weighing on their mind, they can choose to just fucking draw
I cannot emphasize how much I’m literally a US citizen who speaks good english (with an accent, but it’s something) and these are the thoughts I’m having. Imagine how it feels when you’re actually an immigrant and you can barely parse what the masked trigger-happy asshole with a gun is screaming at you.
anyways my other possibly-inflammatory take is that i viscerally dislike the phrasing of "one's truth". no! no one has a personal claim to truth separate from what is more generally true!
if something is true only to me and not to anyone else, i am either mistaken about something or i have a duty to show others the truth and thereby correct their mistake. it is not "my truth". people do not speak "their truth", they speak the truth or they speak wrongly.
personal experiences can still have universally applicable truth values!
if by "your truth" you mean "your experience", say that! if by "your truth", you mean "something emotionally resonant but not necessarily true" you should absolutely say that instead of implying that something is true when it is not. if you mean "a crime you were victim to", that's just the truth! it's not "your truth", it is not some nebulous immateriality conjured purely from the fallibility of individual perception; do not discount your own perceptions so readily.
