The only decent way to use white privilege

This FB post by Rebecca Solnit is the thing keeping me sane this morning,so I’m sharing it here in case it helps you all, too:

“They want you to feel powerless and to surrender and to let them trample everything and you are not going to let them. You are not giving up, and neither am I. The fact that we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything and everything we can save is worth saving. You may need to grieve or scream or take time off, but you have a role no matter what, and right now good friends and good principles are worth gathering in. Remember what you love. Remember what loves you. Remember in this tide of hate what love is. The pain you feel is because of what you love.

The Wobblies used to say don't mourn, organize, but you can do both at once and you don't have to organize right away in this moment of furious mourning. You can be heartbroken or furious or both at once; you can scream in your car or on a cliff; you can also get up tomorrow and water the flowerpots and call someone who's upset and check your equipment for going onward.

A lot of us are going to come under direct attack, and a lot of us are going to resist by building solidarity and sanctuary. Gather up your resources, the metaphysical ones that are heart and soul and care, as well as the practical ones.

People kept the faith in the dictatorships of South America in the 1970s and 1980s, in the East Bloc countries and the USSR, women are protesting right now in Iran and people there are writing poetry. There is no alternative to persevering, and that does not require you to feel good. You can keep walking whether it's sunny or raining. Take care of yourself and remember that taking care of something else is an important part of taking care of yourself, because you are interwoven with the ten trillion things in this single garment of destiny that has been stained and torn, but is still being woven and mended and washed.”

Treat yourself as if you love yourself, even if you don’t

Drink more water and tea.

Treat yourself to a face mask or skin care regimen.

Do yoga or go for a walk.

Play with your pets more often.

Sit in the sun for as long as you can stand it.

Do things you enjoy and don’t care about how others judge your interests.

Keep around the honest, genuine people who love and appreciate you. Listen to their kind words and take them seriously.

Get rid of any negative people in your life; those who judge you, discourage you, or mock you.

Set alarms to take your meds so you don’t forget.

Don’t be afraid to ask for help.

And most importantly, don’t be too hard on yourself. We all struggle, we just have a tough time admitting it to others. Be kind and gentle with your progress, and don’t compare yourself to others. They are on their own journey, at their own speed, and so are you.

How I draw eyes

This is the thing I get asked about the most so here’s an honest try.

reblog if it’s okay to become internet friends

I’ve always wanted internet friends but have never actually had the courage to ask. so this is me asking I guess. I hope this isn’t an inconvenience. if you’d like a good friend to love and support you, I’m here. even if you want to send memes back and forth that’s fine.

we can talk about a show, a movie, your favorite character. we can talk about your day, your favorite music. anything and everything.

Someone asking me for my hobbies is so humiliating.... I like to play and have fun. I like to smile and draw. I like putting words in an order. Sometimes I laugh and grin.

Star Wars is trending again so, I just wanted to let everyone know that General Hux is a wasted potential!

His character in the books and novels and comic is way way complex and tragic! Disney fucked it up, starting from TLJ, and totally sidelined him and threw him away when they realized they fucked his character up. Domhnall Gleeson has done a brilliant work in portraying Armitage Hux, and he deserves way more recognition and notice. It's sad to see him put in all his work for a character just to watch it being thrown away in the end after it being manipulated.

HUX. DESERVED. BETTER.
