WE NEED MORE OF THIS

House of the tall chimneys

© frankie pappas

a bed amidst the trees; a shower amongst the rocks

​the site sits in a nature conservation in rural South Africa;

where trees and shrubs and rocks create the architectural backdrop for any home the brief​a bedroom that opens itself out into the treescape; that invites in the smells, and wind, and rustle; a bathroom that grounds itself against the landscape; that speaks of earth, and rock, and shrub the idea​the originating idea was to root the bathroom into the rockscape,whilst allowing the bedroom to float amongst the treesthe building is organised as a long thin building which allows it to fit snugly between the forest trees the two chimneys are not only essential to the structure of the building, but also naturally ventilate the bedroom (the building was designed in such a manner as to not disturb any tree during construction)

idk how to explain this to you but when a unilaterally oppressed group names their oppressors and says stuff like "do better" they are talking about you, to you, and you are absolutely accountable. you are not one of the good white people, one of the good tme people, one of the good nonblack people: these people are talking to and about you and you are not exempt from the connotations of the post because, believe it or not, you are fully capable of being racist/transmisogynistic/antiblack/whatever. take responsibility for your actions and understand that we never stop growing. ever.

I AM NOT OKAY WITH THIS (2020) | 1x05 “Another Day in Paradise”

Not shaving and not wearing make up are literally nonbehaviors. They’re a complete lack of action. But doing nothing is considered masculine because women are not allowed to just be. this goes double for trans women.

Since trans day of visibility is tomorrow:

Trans day of visibility isn’t just for white gender-confirming passing binary trans people.

It includes every trans person. Trans POC. GNC trans people. Non-binary people. Trans people who don’t pass. Trans people who dont want to medically transition. Trans people who haven’t medically transitioned. Trans people who are still in the closet.

All trans people.

I have seen harmful beliefs, especially in the Transmasc community, that you have to medically transition, that you have to pass, you have to conform to gender roles, etc. to be ‘actually trans’.

And that’s not true.

Transmascs don’t have to be manly buff men they can be whatever they want to be. If a Transmasc wants to wear a dress. They can wear a dress. Transmascs don’t have to use he/him they can use whatever they want. If they wanna use she/her they can use she/her.

Transfems don’t have to be feminine dainty women they can be whatever they want to be. If a Transfem wants to wear masculine stuff. They can wear masculine stuff. Transfems don’t have to use she/her they can use what ever they want to use. If they wanna use he/him they can use he/him.

Non-binary people don’t have to be androgynous they can be what ever they want to be. Non-binary don’t have to use they/them they can use whatever they want to use.

Stop trying to control others gender and gender presentation. Because someone’s relationship to their gender is NONE of your business. Stop excluding trans people because they don’t fit your idea of ‘ideal trans’. All trans people are valid and deserve respect.

can we all agree that being overdressed is a myth made up by boring stuffy people who are too worried about other people’s lives and don’t want you to have fun

if someone says “stop touching me” stop fucking touching them, you asshole

Someone said "Are you really so stupid to think that Africa has the same technological advances as us? If they did they would probably have clean water and not live in houses made of sticks and mud. Get over yourself and stop being so ignorant."..... Below is a tiny collection of images of the Africa they refuse to show you..

ches

I’m sorry you’ve been made to believe that the whole of Africa is poor, I really am..

sending “I hope you get that job” vibes to the people out here tryna get jobs
