“Boredom” by Chris Malidore

(Black and White Version)

Protesters block traffic. An ambulance is unable to get where it needs to be. Someone dies as a result.

Many people say that the protesters should be jailed or even shot.

The logic seems to be "if you cause someone to not get the medical care that they need and they die, you should suffer for it".

But that's exactly what CEOs do when they price gouge or deny claims. So why is the protester considered a criminal who it's justifiable to kill but the CEO isn't?

tumblr has become a safe space for me recently. other sites like tiktok and instagram, and especially twitter (which i refuse to call X and is also notorious for ppl horribly misrepresenting the goth subculture), are so overstimulating that tumblr is just a nice breath of fresh air. there are people who post about things that i am genuinely interested in on here and the ppl generally just seem way more down to earth and relatable. it's nice to have a space that i can post about anything and have a community separate from people i know irl too bc i feel even safer to just be myself without having a second thought about what ppl in my life might think. i can just share my thoughts and interests and it's so much easier to find like-minded people to follow on here, too.

tumblr is like the library of social media. relaxed, yet loaded with information and cool things to see and the people who come here are usually looking for the same thing i am; some peace and freaking quiet.
