Bro, it’s like 4PM in São Paulo right now and all the smoke made it look like it’s already night…city of ashes indeed.
i’m seeing a lot of people reblogging suicide hotlines and this is just a reminder that this is a suicide help line that works like a text-based instant messenger for people who may need to talk to someone but have trouble/are uncomfortable making phone calls
I’m going to point out some weird things about @projecttrinity‘s upcoming visual novel “Women of Xal” in relation to this site.
1) It’s an upcoming Kickstarter bound otome game that very obviously is PoC / People of Color & WoC/ Women of Color centric. We’ve got a bi female lead with several romancable women. And it’s in a harsh matriarchal society ready to give some brutal parallels to our own. Being helmed by a very capable and snarky Black writer. The two programmers are women. The artists are women. The singers are women. One of the animators is a woman. AND THERE’S TANGIBLE QUALITY TO IT! I thought we’ve been asking for more projects like this for years now. But Tumblr has been the most quiet of the four sites it’s updating on??? (Youtube, Facebook, LemmSoftForums, Tumblr)
2) How are hateful anons finding this project before everyone else? Why are we letting Black creatives feel like the anon has a point about Tumblr not caring? Isn’t this site notorious for propping up content like this? Where are my feminists at?!
Like, I truly get it: Most of you will have only just heard of this. And Tumblr didn’t make it easy in the first place. Tags and timing are madly important. But so are reblogs and follows! You’re reading this now - there’s nothing truly stopping you from showing that anon the middle finger. For every time WE DON’T JUST ‘HEART’ A CREATIVE’S POST and reblog/follow their content, we prove hateful anons like this wrong. And every time we prove them wrong, we send an encouraging message to other minorities who want to share their passions with the world, but face that uphill battle.
And hey, the writer clearly has faith in this site still:
You can find out more about the project here.
Or, better yet, follow, and support the team here!
(Bonus Note: If you’re someone who has been reblogging a lot of content from this team as well, cheers, fellow sisters! <3)
This can save lives of many Black people who were wrongly convicted and arrested on drug possession charges. Please spread!
“white men on night mode” IM SCREAMING
turns out my life purpose isn’t supposed to be as small and silent and accommodating and convenient as possible
I just want to let y’all know that a lot of cishet men are going to end up very lonely when they’re old because of the way they treated women and their significant others.
placing vague conditions on your happiness is a sure way to always be chasing future things and never truly being happy
“if” i earn a certain amount of money then i will be happy
“if” i lose a certain amount of weight then i will be happy
“if” the weather is good today then i will be happy
carry your own weather around with you and learn to be happy with the existing conditions in your life
Real life tip/rant: last year, I paid off all of my credit card debt and my credit score JUMPED… I was so happy because I felt like I was making some real strides in my life.
But a few weeks ago, my credit score dropped 30 fucking points.
I was so lost and confused because I don’t owe anybody money and I don’t have a credit card.
Little did I know, that was the problem. If you are not actively building your credit MONTHLY, that shit will dropped.
The second you build any credit history, you need to keep building on it, unless your credit score is 0 (you don’t have to worry about that shit dropping obviously but you should start building credit history, maybe starting with a secured card).
Don’t let this shit happen to you.
This is who Thanos THOUGHT he was. She is the Original. This level of power, with no infinity gauntlet? Thanos could never.
Okay so because of this
I HAVE to post this
This is so powerful and courageous. Police all over the country are pulling this despicable shit. They’re supposed to be protecting and serving. Monsters.

hey if you want a riveting documentary related to Black modern musical history, watch the documentary “Remastered: The Lion’s share”….it’s a microcosm of an example of how Black art get’s swindled and appropriated…wherever we are
when your friend does something problematic and you sadly have to correct them
im not being funny but artistry will save your life. music, painting, pottery, writing, carving, weaving, the act of creating will save you.
Everybody in that line are the reason Black businesses don’t flourish in Black communities and we allow everyone else to pop in our neighborhoods and thrive
Also this:
maaan i’m crying 😭😭😭💀💀💀💀
Wonder how fast we could crowdfund it.
Bless her!….NOBODY ever says this part
