you need to pull the whole layer of dead skin off your lips every day in winter it’s how you grow a beautiful. New skin like a lizard no don’t look at the camera look at me. it’s called a chrysalis not a chrysalisn’t. the blood is normal
Having empathy is morally neutral. Not having empathy is morally neutral. Having high empathy is morally neutral. Having low empathy is morally neutral.
Empathy is not what makes you a good or bad person. Actions do, feeling don't.
You should be able to have zero dollars to your name and still have everything you need to survive, dependable housing, food, water, clothing, personal care necessities like soap and deodorant and toilet paper and period products, medicine and the prescriptions/healthcare you need to live comfortably… not everyone’s life should be focused on the accumulation of wealth, and yet society is structured around earning money being the only way to survive or do anything at all. Some humans are really good at earning money because it gives them purpose but that shouldn’t be how everyone has to live
i'll always be watching over you 🫂
the Fey sisters...they're so iconic, yet we see so little of them together (mia deserved better) 😔 i like to think that mia would watch over her lil sis always, after her return in kurain village
The thing with names and especially changing names is seeing them and thinking that's me. Like yes before name change I did see my name and know it was me but still it was never me. Like I'm at the stage of getting new cards and documents and stuff with my name of it and every time I show my dad like "Look it's me!" And he never gets it and just answers yes it is you. But the thing is it wasn't me before and now it is.
If you're considering changing ur name and finding the one for you, I highly recommend just looking at stuff and seeing if you get they feeling of yes, that is me. Recommendations for experimenting are friends calling you a new name naming urself in an rpg video game or heck sign up for a website with the name and be forever spammed with emails like Hey [name] our winter sale is here!!!!! I just feel so good even with those annoying ass spam texts cause they are addressed to me and not her.
I guess I've made my point well enough but at times like these what I remember is the Iraq war, specifically that while what is emphasized so often is the brutality of it and how it was waged just for oil, but I think portraying the US as this all-powerful, implacable bandit on the world stage is a form of usamerican propaganda in itself. Instead, what I think of are the results.
Did the US actually end up getting Iraq's oil? Well, not really. They planned to privatize the state oil company but the intensity of the insurgencies in the wake of the fall of the Baathist state immediately forced usamerican planners to contend with the political impossibility of such a thing. Did they change Iraq into a staunch usamerican ally? No. The US still maintains a presence in the country by force but they're hated throughout the political spectrum and at most tolerated on a temporary basis. By contrast the country who gained the most geopolitically from the usamerican war on Iraq was, in fact, Iran.
These people in their offices in Langely, they're capable of marshalling lots of resources, yes, they're good at dropping lots of bombs and killing lots of people, yes, but remember that they are not actually very good at actually winning and bending the world to their will, and they've arguably been getting worse at it every year since the 80s, or even from their retreat in disgrace from Vietnam. Mao wasn't kidding or showing a strong face when he said the imperialist powers were paper tigers. The US can be fought and beaten, and in fact it loses more often than it wins. You've Gotta get out of this defeatist frame of mind.

telling trans women and girls “you HAVE to be soft and beautiful” is asinine at best and cruelly detached from the lived reality of most trans fems at worst. I have never met a trans woman who wasn’t compulsively softening herself every waking second of her life just to avoid being treated like shit and having her life threatened. let trans women be rude as fuck. let trans women swear like sailors. let trans women exist completely neutrally. there are so many trans women just let them exist
i am working on an art project in response to the constant ban waves and harassment of trans women on tumblr. all i ask for is a submission of a picture with your face in it (i will be censoring your face in the project but if you don't want credited ask me and i will be sure you remain anonymous)
you can also pre-censor if thats more comfortable for you!
hey everyone this is my friend, she does pretty cool art stuff! I'm gonna be in this one, do you wanna come with me?

internet politics and real-world politics have gotten so separated, and pretty soon all this internet weirdness is gonna come crashing into real life and politicians are gonna start throwing around words like “SJW” and “anime communist” and “dark enlightenment” and it’s just gonna be the most ridiculous fucking thing
