I know that the USA is very diverse in every sense, but I do not understand the tourists who come to other countries, especially Eastern European ones, and then complain that there is a lack of racial diversity??? Open a fucking book, open a goddamn book! Like, u are so much more privileged than u think if that's ur main concern abt a country ☠️☠️☠️

And I know, it's not only Americans who do this, and not all Americans do that, but I mostly see this tomfoolery from American tourists

the fact that i've only love george this much like he's so whimsical need him to do more yabadabado shenanigans in the next races

I said to some of my best friends the other day that George has James Patrick March energy where he just says the most random shit that doesn't match his persona at all but it's so endearing and funny you can't NOT love him

was confused for a while about how Kraft, Kellogg's, Nestlé, etc. decided that various other food product companies would be worth acquisition to become the massivecorps they are now, then I realized that altho the individual products obviously have distinct timescales, seasonalities, volatilities in inputs, etc., they all share in common the same logistical networks necessary for the provision of the good from producers to end-consumers

One thing I have to thank having Speed Racer as my first fandom ever for

is that it's practically impossible to frustrate me with adaptations being different from source material. However drastically.

No shade to fans who get salty about character rewamps or loose story interpretations, but when your first ever exposure to Media You Care About was a franchise that NEVER had two interpretations consistent with each other (story, time period, setting, location, race, names, looks, character development, family dynamics, who is related to whom, fucking car design, future generations consistency, you name it - they flipped it AT LEAST once)... You just never develop the ability to give a fuck!

This is a poem I wrote because I was angry. Tweaked it and it was pretty good!

CW overdosing, self harm, suicide mentions

This world is a geode and we are the gemstones inside

So many different colors but one gem stands out far above the rest

Rubies rubies everywhere

Rubies fall from our veins and arteries when we hurt

Rubies fall and cover every other color when we hurt and frankly

I am sick of it I am sick of the rubies

Sick of watching them fall

They fall from the gunshot wounds of a son who was in the wrong place at the wrong time

They fall from the mouth of a child struck by someone who should never be a parent

They fall from the gashes of someone trying to cut the pain from their life the hard way

And I am sick of watching these rubies fall and watching others watch them fall and letting them fall and doing nothing to stem the flow of rubies

America is a nation built on rubies

Rubies are in the field where the first North Americans were cut down cruelly to make room for us,

Rubies are buried beneath the plantation fields where people were brutalized and dehumanized and treated as subhuman for no reason other than skin color,

Rubies lay in the streets where the authority abused every minority as they petitioned for rights peacefully and were met with violence

You can't see them unless you pull back the veneer but the rubies are still there, shimmering and glistening, hard and sharp reminders of human cruelty

And I am tired of seeing rubies

I'm tired of seeing gemstones of our world tarnished

Citrine is the gemstone of the empty pill bottle by his head because he took one too many to try and escape a world who doesn't seem to care

Gray agate is the gemstone of the razor slicing the rubies of a friend, a daughter, a victim, from her veins because she was attacked and now can only get rid of the the thing growing inside her by getting rid of herself

Tigers eye is the gemstone of the rope hanging from the rafters, supporting the body because why won't they let me just be myself

Obsidian is the gemstone of the handgun invisibly splattered with the rubies of Kenirah and Johnson and Billy and Amiyah, the third graders down the hall from where the gunman entered

Diamond is the gemstone of the body bag zipped up over the immigrants face some of them children and the family back home has no idea they will never come back

Tarnished gemstones litter the streets of a nation failing to let them shine naturally

I'm so tired of this nation forgetting that we all bleed The same color

But why is it blood that has to be so strong why is it something so catastrophic so violent

Why do people only listen when we bleed

There is another thing we share, one that people often forget

We all bleed rubies but we also all cry crystal

Crystal is colorless it pays no heed to race or gender or skin tone

Crystal is clear because it shows you the truth

When crystals fall from your eyes your eyes are washed clean of lies and anger and you see the people in front of you

Crystal tears have been cried by every race every gender every skin tone and they unite us

When we see someone crying crystal we want to hug them and help them

Only the worst of us enjoy seeing crystals falling from another

Crystals can unite us because we all can cry together

Tears transcend all else

Everyone cries when they are first born because they are human even the most heartless of us all shed tears as a child because as a child we are in our purest form

The crystals wash away the rubies of hate and replace it with clear love and justice and righteousness

When you cry with someone only for a moment you share their pain and help them through it

And by sharing another's pain humanity can learn to love unconditionally to keep that pain from happening

Crystals are clear because they aren't specific to sadness either

Crystallized joy and anger and disbelief, good and bad crystals can express them all

Human emotions expressed with Crystal clarity

So when someone cuts rubies from another in hate and pain

They forget that we all cry the same clear gemstones

If humanity remembered we all cry crystal

Maybe we would never need to see rubies in the first place.

Hugh Prather (1938-2010) His work underscored the importance of gentleness, forgiveness, and loyalty; declined to endorse dramatic claims about the power of the individual mind to effect unilateral transformations of external material circumstances; and stressed the need for the mind to let go of destructive cognitions in a manner not unlike that encouraged by the cognitive-behavioral therapy of Aaron T. Beck and the rational emotive behavior therapy commended by Albert Ellis.

"Happiness is a present attitude, not a future condition."
