My family have been tarot readers for generations, and a fair few of us have been great amongst our countries peers. I should have been gifted my first deck by another tarot reader in the family. But that wasn’t possible.

My mother never really got tarot, never really cared that much for the legacy of the Romany women before us, but when she found out I was she tried her best and bought me a deck and some guides.

I may not have had it the same as everyone that came before me, but I shall still try to do my family proud

Finding out that Elvis Presley was Romani is like. Ohhhh so *thats * why so many of my mums generation were named after his daughter. Not just because he was famous

its 2024 and decolonial literature has been writing about the racial implications of wuthering heights for twenty years now and still we got the whitest man alive, literally two white australians, for the wuthering heights casting

Given that I have so many edits in my mind but there isn't a screen adaptation of the Secret Shanghai books (or even a sign of one), I may have to retreat from the age of editing and teach myself how to animate so I can instead make. animatics.

Something that’s really sad to me is that there is basically no online Roma community anymore

Bbc used to have a message board for Romany teens, and they still do, but no one has used it since 2005, and those teens that were on it will be adults now, and plenty with their own kids now

Rumblr used to be an active, thriving space, but most people left, and now there’s only a few of us

The Romani Reddit imploded on itself and now there isn’t one

The only things I can thing of are the tik tok communities, which aren’t close knit and are super toxic from what I’ve seen and heard, and the discord, which it’s hard to track down a link for

The reason why I don’t watch or read the hunchback of notre dame is because it perpetrates the (obviously awful and incredibly harmful) stereotype that Romani people steal children and raise them as their own

if you're celebrating rdj being cast as Doctor Doom you are celebrating the deliberate (and repeated) erasure of roma characters in the mcu just btw

roma and alisa were the sibling duo we needed

you might not think it’s hard to be a soc fan artist on tumblr, but let me tell you about the time I called someone out for drawing inej with light skin, so they blocked me and then wrote a long post about me that I couldn’t see, along with colour samples taken from my art as examples of how inej is “too dark” in them, and then they end the post with “I’m disappointed in you” 💀

[hartxstarr-art]

it started because they all had fangs but then i realized they had noses too and that i needed to learn how to draw them...so this was just practice.
