Hello Tumblr User

In front of you is a post about a trans woman. Below you is a vat of acid. The only thing you have to do to walk away unharmed is interact with the post without derailing the transfeminine nature of the post. You have t- I didn’t even finish explaining. Why do I even try at this point.

Is it too much to ask to wanna be seen as a big burly dragon who lives in a dark cave hoarding all their goodies?

I just had someone tell me AI is capable of writing publishable literature because there's "so much" "soulless" stuff on the bestseller list, and as evidence they cited James Patterson, Nicholas Sparks, Stephen King, and all romance novels and all mystery novels. And just. Wow. Fun combination of "I am trying to make myself look so smart here" and "Every syllable I speak breathes complete and total ignorance," like what even

Well you're be much more upset about

“minor character death” but not death of a minor character, just a character experiencing a non-major death

the city where we live doesn't allow public barbecues so my brother fucking welded a grill to a handcart and now hosts "chill and grill sessions" where he sends all his friends his live location so they can hunt him down on their bikes with sausages in their backpacks while he carts it around evading the police like some sort of barbecue vigilante, grilling on the run. i have never been prouder of him

realizing that sticking to the "do it bad" "do it scared" mentality implies theres also a "do it bored"

while it's true that America Fuck Yeah country music starting selling like crazy after 9/11 and polluted the genre, I just want to emphasize that there has always been good and bad country music, and that good country music is still being made today. like rap, part of the country genre has always been active (sometime toxic) debate about who is "real" country and who is "fake". because it is a genre that values authenticity and talks about shit that mainstream music tries to ignore - like the despair, hardship, and inherent dignity of working class lives. so there is a constant pressure to "prove yourself" as a country artist, which is why fake performative bullshit patriotism with a fake Texas twang can get a toehold.

the roots of country are poor people making art for themselves, just like rap and blues, and those roots live on in some artists and not others. country music contains multitudes, and it's frustrating to have the genre polluted by American far-right conservative Christians who chase away a lot of potential fans and make kids think all country is bigoted at its core and anyone who likes it is a conservative.

I love country music, and as a 30 year old liberal lesbian living in modern America, I'm telling you there is a ton of it that speaks directly to me. more than I can ever get through. it's a beautiful American art.

The kids on TikTok think that just because he was a classic country singer, Johnny Cash was conservative??? My babies he covered a Nine Inch Nails song in his seventies.

Classic country singers (the majority of which came from poor roots) were always talking about how much The Man sucked because they were taking money from poor rural folk. You’re gonna tell me that’s conservative?? Get outta here.

Indigenous groups across the Americas had all encountered Europeans differently. But where other coastal groups such as the Haida or the Mi’kmaq had met white men who were well-fed and well-dressed, the Inuit frequently encountered their future colonizers as small parties on the edge of death.

“I’m sure it terrified people,” said Eber, 91, speaking to the National Post by phone from her Toronto home.

And it’s why, as many as six generations after the events of the Franklin Expedition, Eber was meeting Inuit still raised on stories of the two giant ships that came to the Arctic and discharged columns of death onto the ice.

Inuit nomads had come across streams of men that “didn’t seem to be right.” Maddened by scurvy, botulism or desperation, they were raving in a language the Inuit couldn’t understand. In one case, hunters came across two Franklin Expedition survivors who had been sleeping for days in the hollowed-out corpses of seals.

“They were unrecognizable they were so dirty,” Lena Kingmiatook, a resident of Taloyoak, told Eber.

Mark Tootiak, a stepson of Nicholas Qayutinuaq, related a story to Eber of a group of Inuit who had an early encounter with a small and “hairy” group of Franklin Expedition men evacuating south.

“Later … these Inuit heard that people had seen more white people, a lot more white people, dying,” he said. “They were seen carrying human meat.”

Even Eber’s translator, the late Tommy Anguttitauruq, recounted a goose hunting trip in which he had stumbled upon a Franklin Expedition skeleton still carrying a clay pipe.

By 1850, coves and beaches around King William Island were littered with the disturbing remnants of their advance: Scraps of clothing and camps still littered with their dead occupants. Decades later, researchers would confirm the Inuit accounts of cannibalism when they found bleached human bones with their flesh hacked clean.

“I’ve never in all my life seen any kind of spirit — I’ve heard the sounds they make, but I’ve never seen them with my own eyes,” said the old man who had gone out to investigate the Franklin survivors who had straggled into his camp that day on King William Island.

The figures’ skin was cold but it was not “cold as a fish,” concluded the man. Therefore, he reasoned, they were probably alive.

“They were beings but not Inuit,” he said, according to the account by shaman Nicholas Qayutinuaq.

The figures were too weak to be dangerous, so Inuit women tried to comfort the strangers by inviting them into their igloo.

But close contact only increased their alienness: The men were timid, untalkative and — despite their obvious starvation — they refused to eat.

The men spit out pieces of cooked seal offered to them. They rejected offers of soup. They grabbed jealous hold of their belongings when the Inuit offered to trade.

When the Inuit men returned to the camp from their hunt, they constructed an igloo for the strangers, built them a fire and even outfitted the shelter with three whole seals.

Then, after the white men had gone to sleep, the Inuit quickly packed up their belongings and fled by moonlight.

Whether the pale-skinned visitors were qallunaat or “Indians” — the group determined that staying too long around these “strange people” with iron knives could get them all killed.

“That night they got all their belongings together and took off towards the southwest,” Qayutinuaq told Dorothy Eber.

But the true horror of the encounter wouldn’t be revealed until several months later.

The Inuit had left in such a hurry that they had abandoned several belongings. When a small party went back to the camp to retrieve them, they found an igloo filled with corpses.

The seals were untouched. Instead, the men had eaten each other.

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.
