Tumblr users are often so arrogant and it shows. They can draw a full cast of POC characters but when POC say "Hey we want more than just our skin tone" they're suddenly deaf as shit.
Representation on Tumblr has become a way for white people to win brownie points just because they took a Hershey's bar and slapped it onto a person's skin tone.
The most disgusting thing is that they insist on making JUST African-Americans. They insist on making JUST one facial type, one nose type, one lip type, one hair type, one slang type, one skin tone.
And when they make a person Asian, it's Japanese. And when they make a person Hispanic, it's Mexican. And when they make a person indigenous, they never specify on which tribe/nation they came from, but you'll bet they're Native AMERICAN.
But my favorite part is when other POC demand representation and those same fucking white people are like "But but but look at all my black characters!!!!"
POC isn't just confined to America.
POC isn't just black.
POC isn't just Japanese.
POC isn't just Mexican.
POC isn't just Native American.
It's from the Miskitu in Nicaragua, from the highlands of Ethiopia, from the deserts of Saudi Arabia, from the mountains of Indonesia. It's from the arroz con gandules, from the folk music, from the festivals. It's many cultures blending, it's speaking more than just English, it's dealing with racism unique to our countries of origin.
It's more than just one universal experience, and white Tumblr isn't willing to show that.

OMG yes! I just had ballroom dance tryouts and my feet are killing me but I can so see this!!!š
Imagine Mac and Jack slow dancing to āA Thousand Yearsā by Christina Perri as their first dance as husbands at their wedding reception. Now imagine Riley singing it while the boys dance instead of them playing from a cd. Now imagine her starting off by saying: āThis is for my dad and Mac. I love you both.ā ā„ļø
Btw Iām gonna write this into my additions to āAlready Marriedā¦ā
Haha
Caitlin: *hugs Harry from behind*
Harry: uhā¦hi?
Caitlin: Mine.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS CREAM. TAKE A GOOD LONG LOOK.Ā
MEMORIZE THE PACKAGING SO YOU MAKE SURE YOU NEVER BUY THIS CREAM FOR YOURSELF OR ANYONE YOU LOVE.
This post is about vaginas. My vagina in particular. I get yeast infections pretty regularly, and until recently I was able to afford to see a doctor who could prescribe meĀ fluconazole.
Fluconazole, a drug alsoĀ known by the brand nameĀ Diflucan, is a small pink pill. You take two pills a few days apart from each other to restore balance and harmony to your bountiful folds. Iāve never ever had a bad side effect from taking this pill.
Cut to November 2016. Iām a recent college grad without reliable health care coverage in the process of finding a job. And Iām dealing with a yeast infection. Before I moved out of state, my previous doctor told me about Miconazole. She said it was as effective as the pill and hallelujah, itās over the counter! I decided to purchase the cream pictured above. This treatment only lasted 3 days, a convenient time frame for my schedule.
The application process was a little messy, and some of the cream came in contact with my vulva and labia. Within 5 minutes every piece of skin that had come in contact with the cream, excluding my hands,Ā was on fire. I wanted to scream it was so painful. I began frantically searching for what I should do online.Ā
I found a whole forum of people on drugs.com who had experienced something similar.Ā These comments saved me, and these were just on the first page. There were 33 pages total, the earliest dated July 2009.
I was writhing in pain at 2AM when I found this forum (which I found by searching āmy vagina burn itch hurts after miconazoleā on Google). As soon as I read these comments I threw the devil cream directly into the trash and jumped in the shower. I didnāt feel any actual relief until I reached in and scraped the cream out of me. I paid $17 plus tax on this bullshit, but I could have just as easily ripped up my money or paid someone to not hurt me.Ā
The moral of the story is that vaginal health care is is completely fucked up because we donāt have access to an over the counter cure for yeast infections that is safe for our bodies and also YOU SHOULD NEVER BUY THIS CREAM EVER.

ways i have tricked people into thinking i am competent:
bought a really nice looking fountain pen
that sounds like a joke but fountain pens are cheap as shit and when you use one people look at you like youāre a fucking wizard
this hero 901 cost me $3 on ebay and i donāt know why people assume that this is a pen for intelligent people but they do
it works better when i am using a nice notebook and not the avengers notebook that makes it look like the hulk is grabbing my sweet pen
i write in code which for some reason leads everyone to assume that i am some kind of da vinci motherfucker, instead of the reality, which is that i am writing about dicks and donāt want anyone to know
it looks like i am constantly taking notes on everything which is both intimidating and inaccurate, just the way i like it
i bought a usb clicker/laser pointer for $11 and now it seems like iāve got this shit on lock, like i am so pro at giving presentations i even own accessories
holding a clicker makes you seem at least 10% more like you know what youāre talking about iām pretty sure
i check the weekly freebies on creativemarket every monday so now i have a huge folder of pro-looking website themes and powerpoint templates and fill-in-the-blank resumes (also a lot of autumnal clipart and watercolor flowers and script fonts but that is less relevant)
i bought a ceramic coffee mug at world market years ago and it makes me look like a productive coffee-drinker because no one knows itās full of hot cocoa
i donāt know why drinking coffee makes you look busy it just does even though iām pretty sure it statistically reduces productivity
bonus: not only does no one know iām just drinking Depression Chocolate but they think i am being Environmentally Conscious rather than Poor As Shit
extra bonus: i can take a sip whenever it looks like someone is going to ask a question and then they ask someone else
i almost never have to answer questions and i leave the room a lot because i have to pee constantly so double extra bonus
āThatās a very good question, and one that deserves an in-depth answer, so if youād like to leave me your card Iād be happy to discuss it with you later one-on-oneā akaĀ āhow DARE you suggest i waste everyoneās time answering this question right nowā aka ālmfao i have no fucking clue what you just said please let me secretly google that okayā
bonus: now it seems like you are a sophisticated grownup who assumes everyone has A Card and if they have to settle for writing their email on a scrap of paper you can feel smug about it even though in your heart you know that you are no better
iāve got anxiety and poor impulse control and anxiety about my poor impulse control so i generally say jack shit about shit and this constant silence is often misinterpreted as aloof observation
no one knows that my air of mystery is actually a bad case of the shy and i am too shy to correct them so it works out
when iām on my laptop and i donāt want anyone to notice how much iām dicking around i turn the brightness way down so they canāt snoop without being obvious
at least one window of notepad++ with some random html page or css stylesheet in it makes randos assume you are some kind of genius doing some genius shit, unless they are CS major randos, in which case i guess find an intimidating looking excel spreadsheet and hope for the best
You know what I want to see? I want to see the little moments that show Jack is gone. I want to see Mac turn to his side with a joke dancing on his tongue only for it to die once he finishes saying Jackās name. I want to see Riley looking through her photos when sheās bored and then pause when she finds one with them all together, her eyes lingering on Jack. I want to see an inside joke referenced and then the slight dimming of their eyes when they realize the one person who would understand it is gone. I want there to be a slight bitter-sweetness taint the moment when movies like Die Hard or Star Wars are mentioned. I want to see them struggling to adjust to that empty space. Because no, Jackās not dead, and theyāre getting a new person in that position where Jack stood. But Jack is gone. Certain habits and jokes and shared looks are being forced to end, and that can be a bitter pill to swallow. Itās an adjustment. It takes time. I just want to see the little moments that capture that.
If anyone deserved a seat at the round table, it was Merlin. So why didnāt Arthur allow him one?
Before anyone else could finish their thoughts, Gwaine piped up, his question shooting out of his mouth with a hint of outrage around the edges that silenced the entire room, āWhy doesnāt Merlin have a seat at the table?ā
