Stick It To Rainbow Capitalism!

God Dam

I have the biggest case of Artist and Writer’s Block.

Please make this go viral.

It is so important I don’t even care if you delete what I write here, just help it be seen. 

I've received some criticism for accepting commissioned posts, so I want to clarify

this blog & the content I produce is currently my only means of income

I'm saving to escape a toxic household

tumblr is notoriously difficult for content-creators to monetize

I accept ko-fi / paypal / commissions instead of reblogging 'sponsored' content (ads from fashion retailers or Adam & Eve) the way most blogs my size do. I don't want this space to feel impersonal; reader support allows me to avoid commercial advertising.

I'm doing my best. I've spent years putting in full-time hours on a blog that has only just started paying part-time wages. eventually I would like to make a living writing traditionally published content, but that's a long ways off. for now I'm just trying to get by, and trying to write fun and weird and (hopefully) surprisingly helpful content on the platform I have. please bear with me. I'm simply trying to turn an obsessive passionate hobby into something I can live (frugally) on.

This needs to be discussed.

Okay, so this is ridiculous and pissing me off. Some of you people need to know that

CREATING A CHARACTER DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE ‘ASKING FOR’ GROSS INTERPRETATIONS OF THEM. 

JUST BECAUSE THEY SHARED THE CHARACTER ONLINE DOES NOT MEAN THEY WANT THE GROSS REACTIONS.

THESE REACTIONS ARE DISGUSTING, BUT THE CREATOR DOES NOT HAVE CONTROL OVER THEM. 

JUST BECAUSE THEY SHARED, DOESN’T MEAN THEY WERE ASKING FOR IT.

Now, those who have followed me for a while (like, a long time) might know what I’m talking about. Those who don’t, I’ll give you a brief explanation. 

I am a fan of @pmseymourva.

He’s funny, relatable, and his characters are amazing!!!

Unfortunately, with amazing, popular, FEMALE characters comes… icky reactions.

If you don’t know what’s happening, I suggest going to his blog and checking it out for yourself, because I’m honestly unable to explain how upsetting things are getting.

People are telling PM that he was ‘asking for these reactions when he shared that character’ which is bullshit.

PM didn’t ask for any of this.

All he did was share something he was proud of, something that made him happy, hoping to make people smile.

These gross reactions are out of his control, yet people are blaming him?

THIS. IS. VICTIMS. GUILT.

And it needs to stop.

Spread the word, send some positivity his way.

I know this post is probably really messy and maybe a bit hard to understand, but honestly I’m really upset. I might go more in depth on this at a later date.

PM, I really, really hope things get better soon. You don’t deserve this. You’re an amazing person who makes hundreds of people smile ever day. You’ve helped so many people, including me, out of rough situations just by existing. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Hang in there, buddy.

Awful indeed

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but going to thrift stores and buying all the usable sheets and t-shirts and jeans and then cutting them up to make rag rugs or yarn or whatever for your shabby chic/cottagecore aesthetic isn’t solar punk.

It’s gentrification.

You are taking resources away from people who need them so that you can pretend to live a less consumptive lifestyle. You are cosplaying sustainability.

The whole fucking point of rag rugs etc. was that you made use of textiles you already had that could no longer be used for their intended purpose, and you extended the lifecycle of the item by turning it into something else useful instead of throwing it in the garbage. When you buy clothing that still has use *as clothing* just to cut it into rags to make a rug, you’re *speeding up* the consumption of materials. You’re shortening the lifecycle. You are consuming MORE.

And you’re doing it by buying up resources that marginalized people need. Those thrift store sheets would look so much better on somebody’s fucking bed, but since you wanted that Little House on the Prairie vibe, someone is sleeping on a bare mattress now whilst trying to save their pennies to go to fucking Wal-Mart for bedsheets. And that denim throw pillow probably looks adorable on your sofa, but somebody needed a pair of sturdy jeans for that job they’re trying to get, and now there’s nothing available.

But sure, your house looks cute. I guess that’s important.

you can make nearly any object into a good insult if you put ‘you absolute’ in front of it

example: you absolute coat hanger
