It really grinds my gears when I find songs from tiktok on YouTube and all I see in the comments section is people looking down on people who came from tiktok 🤨

Like....why tf are you so mad?! 😂Since when do you get to gatekeep music that you didn’t even make???

What? You hate it that you can’t be “special” or “different” because people are listening to the same music you do? 😭

Let’s talk about white privilege. 

I know this is different from what I normally put on here, but this is something that needs to be addressed. I am biracial—half white and half Asian—though because of my appearance, I am hardly ever labeled as white. As someone who is not white passing despite being white, while I experience other forms of privilege, I do not often experience white privilege and have been on the receiving end of hate and racism more times than I can count even when living in what is supposed to be a more sheltered area. For those of you who might comment that you are tired of seeing politics in art, let me remind you that: 

1) I am tired of being discriminated against just because of my race. I am tired of being called slurs, I am tired of people pulling their eyes back to mock my heritage, and I am tired of stereotypes that plague the Asian community stemming from ignorance and hate. These examples just barely scratch the surface.

2) art has always been tied to politics somehow, and there have been countless instances where it’s been used to make political statements. This is no different. 

3) racism is a humanitarian issue that has been radicalized for political gain, and it’s something that everyone should be actively aware of regardless of your race. 

If you have questions, notes, critiques, etc, comments will always be open as well as DMs so long as you are respectful. This is coming from my viewpoint as well as a few other POC creators and a number of resources, the links of which I can share through DMs if anyone’s interested in taking a read. I have been quieter on matters for my main feed due to safety concerns as a minor, but I’ve had enough at this point. What happened yesterday was unacceptable and the most blatant example of white privilege I have probably seen in my lifetime. It’s time to speak up.

These fucking animals are literally recreating the murder of George Floyd!!! The white privilege is truly astounding. The audacity of these domestic terrorists to storm into the capitol building to stage a coup while claiming they’re patriotic is unbelievable. They are undermining the very foundation of democracy all because they’re too red in the face to admit defeat.

I DONT EVER WANNA HEAR ABOUT BLM BEING VIOLENT OR A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION!!!!

THIS HERE FOLKS IS WHAT TERRORISM LOOKS LIKE!!!!!!

On June the 14th the constitutional court in Belgium stated that prohibition of wearing religious signs in an establishment of higher education does not constitute a violation of freedom of religion nor a violation of the right to human dignity which includes the right to education. This declaration meant that Hijab-wearing women don’t have the right to get higher education. Some will, unfortunately, give up on their dreams and some will be forced to remove the hijab to get an education. “I was in a school establishment where wearing a hijab was forbidden. Therefore, every morning, when I go to school, I had to take it off and put it in my bag. I had the feeling that I was enduring microaggressions from a system that was supposed to protect me”. #HijabisFightBack was a way to protest this discrimination. ✊🏽 The right to education should not be negotiable.

A gentle reminder to all that the first university the world ever saw was founded by a Muslim woman. Today, we have to beg to be able to wear a hijab and get an education at the same time — both of which are fundamental rights that our women are being stripped of. 

hi im bitter about people not commenting on fics. im sad seeing all these authors get so discouraged because no one comments. it takes like 5 seconds! just do it!! dont know what to type? me neither! heres some handy pre-written comments for you! “I dont know what to comment! That was great! thank you for your hard work!” “That was lovely! I really enjoyed this chapter/fic.” “How dare you?” “AAAAAAAAAAAAA” “Extra kudos because one is not enough!” if you read a fic and dont know what to say, leave the tab open, come back later! see if theres a line you really liked! tell them if it reminded you of something dumb! tell them if your roommate saw you crying while reading it and now your roommate is reading it!!! SHARE WHATEVER. BE INCLUSIVE! everyone wants to hear SOMETHING. silence kills passion. show authors you care! show artists you care!!!! 

ARGENTINA JUST MADE HISTORY.

The first protest for legal abortion in democracy in Argentina was on March 7, 1984. 36 years later, December 30, 2020 at 04:13 am, abortion is now officially legal, safe and free for all women. Women have fought for so long to obtain rights of this kind. This is a HUGE step for us, what an amazing day. EL ABORTO ES LEGAL 💚

From now on

You are not allow to complain about lack of content if you don't reblog content.

You're part of the problem. I don't care if it doesn't fit your aesthetic or you think that a like is "just as good". Reblogs are way more important than likes.

A like is like a quick almost mindless thing you do as a "neat" before you keep scrolling. At least that's what it feels like they are.

A reblog is telling that creator: Hey, I really like your stuff and want you to make more. I'll help by spreading your content around so more people can see it.

We all appreciate likes but they don't do any good if no one is sharing the content.

Every time I see such a difference in likes and reblogs it discourages me from writing more and I'm sure others feel the same.

THEY WERE COWARDS THAT THIS FOUR WEREN’T CONFIRMED ✨BISEXUALS✨

PISSES ME OFF.

self care is writing a fic that you’re literally the sole target audience for
