Just Gonna Weblog This For...future Reference.

Raw ass line I heard today “some people are so poor all they have is money”

reblog to kiss an alien on the mouth

Lol tired as shit but somehow made it!

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Look buddy, i’m just trying to make it to Friday.

ya'll ever just have a really shit day and have been stressed all week, and your friends cancel on you because shit came up, and you know they aren't ghosting you, but then you listen to Nobody and all your depressing thoughts come back and you feel like nobody likes you so you have a mental breakdown?

Tried water color for the first time in like 100 years. Tbh I like the sketch better

God okay I'm just. So fucking tired. So here's a list of resources to educate yourself on issues within Star Wars. In light of the Bad Batch Finale and the announcement of the second season, it's vital that you educate yourself about the racism and other issues present.

Reminder that you cannot be in the middle. You are either racist or anti-racist. If you do not practice anti-racism and choose to stay "neutral", you are only supporting a system that constantly perpetuates racism and harms people.

And if for some reason, you think I'm overreacting; for some reason, you think I'm sensitive; for some reason, your first instinct is to get defensive and lash out; you really need to do some thinking as to why you want to scream at POC who just want the right to be recognized and seen. Who just want the right to not be erased.

And if you think this is "not good enough" because they're "just blog posts" or whatever - don't bullshit me. Even if I posted a shit ton of scholarly articles you wouldn't have read them anyway if you're coming at me with excuses for why you think the discrimination is okay. These posts are accessible, and well-written, and straight from the lived experiences of the many minorities and the allies that want to amplify their voices. I'm not asking you to take everything at face value. I'm asking you to do your own research and engage in some critical thinking instead of blindly accepting what you're given.

*Disclaimer: while I have read these sources, i read some a while ago and if there's an issue you have with some of them let me know!

(If your post is listed and you want me to take it off the list please dm me and let me know!)

Why you're actively supporting racism if you decide not to support anti-racist movements because you "have beef with someone" who's an anti-racist

Feel free to add further resources in reblogs or just send them straight to me and I'll add them!

Oh, and by the way, if you think "it's just fiction you're just overreacting this doesn't hurt anyone": news flash: it sure does.

Resources on anti-black racism

What I've listed above is only a single drop in a massive ocean. There are so, so many other minority groups who are also suffering that I haven't listed. I haven't even touched on homophobia, on transphobia, and I've barely touched on ableism, not to mention that there's so many other issues out there. I haven't talked about the issues with how the Tuskens are portrayed, or how Watto is portrayed, or how Jar Jar Binks was portrayed, or how Kelly Marie Tran was treated, or how Trace and Rafa Martez were treated, or how the fandom hates Mace Windu, or how Poe's backstory was butchered, or much, much more. If you have more resources, please please please share them in the reblogs. It is impossible to encompass everything in a single post, but we sure as hell can try.

Alright. I've given you the resources. I've given you my time and energy. It's up to you now to educate yourself. It's ok to make mistakes - we're constantly learning and unlearning. It's ok to need to take breaks, and to save this for later because you're tired and the world is going to shit. We are human.

But it's not okay to stay willfully ignorant. It's not okay to constantly try and belittle the trauma and struggles of minorities just because you've been okay living in a system that's built on oppression. Educate yourself.

One more tip: when reblogging or sharing your own resources, flood your tags with everything to do with Star Wars. Flood the Crosshair tag. Flood the Hunter and Omega tag. Flood the tags, because this is relevant to their characters and to the entire saga, and fans need to know.

Including tags of the people I posted resources from under the cut!

What is Falling in love?

You know I've always loved how different people portray falling in love, or at least how they perceive love. However, I don't like how people feel the need to argue that their version of falling in love is the right version.

For some people falling in love is wild and adventurous, and an emotion that frees you from responsibility and allows you to focus on yourself and how you feel. Some people see it as scary and impending, as if falling in love comes with a ball and chain, and is an unknown emotion that they must figure out their feelings on their own. To some, it is easy to fall in love because they want to share their own love with everyone around them, to show their world that it is beautiful and deserves to feel special, they want to build a wall around those they fall in love with to protect them. To some, it is difficult, because they feel you must become vulnerable to others, that they must break down the walls they carefully build to protect themselves from the world.

To some falling in love is romantic, it is one of passion and caring, falling in deep with another until they explode with emotion. To some, it is platonic, where they see soft smiles and laughs and build loyalty until realizing that they have fallen in deep and they don't want to spend the rest of their life without them by their side.

However, I believe falling in love is none of these things. Falling in love is an identity. Falling in love is different for every person as each person is different from each other. Falling in love is created by our different environments, and each experience is unique to everyone. I just find that beautiful.

I hope people in the future find these and wonder wtf what kind of animals were in our time
