god the bush fire situation is so fucking devastating as an indigenous person because not only is my home being fucking ravaged by fires and has been for months, but people only seem to care about the animals.
and don't get me wrong, care about the animals! i care about the animals! they're MY native animals, they're part of my culture and home and they're living breathing creatures.
but there's so so so many things in place already to help animals, shelters and charities and sanctuaries, and by all means help them more, but the government does not care about aboriginal australians. shit, scomo doesn't give a flying fuck about anyone who isn't a white cishet able bodied christian.
aboriginal australians are losing our homes, you say people aren't endangered but WE ARE. we make up a tiny percentage of our country, and a vast majority of us live in poverty and unsafe areas. not only are we losing our homes, we're losing our identity, our lives, our families. this land means more to us than it ever will to people crying over the koalas. the koalas mean more to us than they ever will to you.
remember who lived alongside those animals for thousands of years.
there's a million things i could say about why we need help more than the animals, but in the end white people will care more about what's small and fluffy than people of colour, especially people whose land they're living on, right?

Tantas coisas
Tantos medos
Tantas angústias
E tudo isso não cabe mais em mim
Eu pensei que esses tempos fossem passado
Mas eles ainda me assombram
Eu queria muito deixar tudo para trás
Queria esquecer
Mas persiste em me seguir
Vivo uma vida que não é minha
Tudo parece tão distante
Estou perdida
Queria desistir, mudar
Mas não deixam
Como fazer as coisas voltarem a ser boas?
Naquele tempo que eu não me importava, não ligava
Naquele tempo em que os sorrisos vinham mais facilmente e eu não vivia sonhando acordada
I could finish my yerin’s thread rn

Probably the most optimistic thing Percy said in the entire pjo series was ‘yeah that prophecy will probably never even happen in our lifetimes, we don’t need to worry :)’ and look at what happened
as the new year is approaching I hope this year will be kind to you and even more so you will be kind to yourself to others and in everything you do. I hope we are able to let go of the things that have caused us discomfort or pain and start afresh. going in rather not with expectations but amendments. remember that you can and you will and that above all else what matters most is you. a new year means a chance to look forward and instead of holding yourself back let yourself be !! wishing you the best
you’ve gotta start romanticizing your life. you gotta start believing that your morning commute is cute and fun, that every cup of coffee is the best you’ve ever had, that even the smallest and most mundane things are exciting and new. you have to, because that’s when you start truly living. that’s when you look forward to every day.
