Mindset Rn

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, to listen to doctors and get my flu vaccine and any shots i could because they remembered Before.

then they started fighting Covid precautions.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that the ozone was disappearing and the earth was dying and we needed to recycle and save the planet.

now my parents think climate change is a myth.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that racism was a plague, that we had to love and accept everyone, that we should never judge before walking a mile in their shoes.

then they told me that protesting for my Black siblings was wrong.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that we needed to give to the poor. working at soup kitchens. making quilts. collecting food and money and supplies. building houses. because it was the christian and just plain right thing to do.

now they look at me, on food stamps with their grandchildren, and lament the "welfare state".

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and that any rich man, especially an immoral one, should never run our country.

you can guess who they voted for.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, so very much.

when did they forget?

FBI cannot be itself without bi.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.

rahat fateh ali khan, mohammad rafi, seedhe maut, shreya ghoshal. all in the same playlist.

Bro don't ask me about my music taste; it's so weird. I had Seedhe Maut and Mohammad Rafi in the same playlist .

the sheer calmness of water pounding against the rocks & the chaos in a pub are different notes in the same melody.

if you’re a new tumblr user from tiktok or IG or something and only like posts and dont reblog them yeah people will think you’re a bot and block you but you will also make this website actively worse. they want “algorithmic” users like you, served recommended posts through likes, not people who just follow each other and respond to the direct chronological feed. there is a reason this website is still better than the rest, even with all its problems, do not ruin this

Krishna's lore goes so crazy cuz' what do you mean you danced on the head of a monstrous muti-headed snake, rebelled against religious practices of the king of gods and ruler of the heavens and uplifted a whole mountain to provide refuge when the said king attacked, defeated demons left and right and then went on to kill a tyrant, who was your uncle that imprisoned your birth parents and now you find out you and your brother are princes of a divine dynasty and you're only like 11-12 years old?!? CRAZY.

And he is also the most perfect, prettiest pretty boy ever in the whole creation, genderfluid pan icon, femboy, and lord of the universe- DAMN.

he was in possession of something very dangerous, charm. and i fell victim to it.
