#facebook’s a trip

I love that when you comment about “why can’t a Polynesian actress play Moana” in the live action (UNNECESSARY) film, you get this:

- “Urm Polynesia is nowhere near Hawaii”

- “BLACK LIVES MATTER”

- “that’s racist”

No wonder we’re in the shape we’re in.

My guy. Google is your friend. The freaking Polynesian Cultural Center of Hawaii has such an informative website.

Yeah Black Lives Matter, and frankly I’d be offended as heck if I was black that just because another person of a totally different race LOOKED enough like me, they get the job and someone who is part of the culture that a story is centered around doesn’t. Would a black person be okay with an excellent but white actress playing Harriet Tubman? I HIGHLY DOUBT IT nor SHOULD they be. Isn’t part of making Black Lives Matter is calling out racism like that experienced by black people to make it more visible? IT SHOULDN’T HAPPEN TO ANY POC?????

… it’s racist. To advocate for… okay. Okay honey. Whatever. I’m tired.

I'm a D&D nerd and my (actual real life) first cousin is an 11-times world champion of casting*, and I'm disappointed to say I never made the mental connection between these two things.

coming out to the whole family as nonbinary and asking them to call me Jey is fun because when the Christmas cards come in I can sort them into piles of compliance or evil

There's breaking containment, and then there's whatever the hell this is:

I've been enjoying recreating old works to see how much I've improved, despite not drawing digitally for many years. This piece was from 2013. I have to say, I'm really proud of myself comparing these two pieces.

Within the last few months she’s cut off almost all of the grandparents from the kids and has threatened the same of her siblings because sometimes they’ll have other people over (in their own houses) when she brings her kids over.

Nobody knows where this sudden switch up came from but everyone is getting cut off for seemingly insignificant things…one set of grandparents went on vacation and didn’t facetime every day to see the kids, so now they’re not allowed around the kids because of something along the lines of ‘they’ve shown where their true priorities lie and its clearly not with family’. Like it almost makes me think that she’s looking for any reason to cut people off and isolate her family/kids even further?

Yea I think that's definitely possible, and maybe it's not even something she's consciously trying to do. Maybe the trad/right wing rabbit hole she's discovered is confirming a lot of subconscious parenting anxieties she's had in the past, but was previously able to reason her way out of.

And now, not only are people confirming her worst fears, they're telling her it's even worse than she thought, and something will almost certainly happen to her kids if she's not always doing X, Y, and Z. I feel like a similar thing can happen to people who consume a lot of true crime, esp if they're already predisposed to paranoia, anxiety, OCD, etc.

She could also have some other reason behind wanting to isolate her kids and is just using it all as an excuse, who knows, the calling thing esp is very silly and petty. I do know though that the messages in right wing echo chambers right now are very much about how society wants to destroy the nuclear family, there are people trying to hurt or steal your child at every turn, and it's only YOU standing between them and evil‼️, and I can see how under the right circumstances, being around that could warp someone's idea of reality to the point of complete isolation.

my grandparents make me feel so guilty about not spending any time with them….if i ever came out to them they’d probably disown me 🥰

In Conversation, What Can Trip Up an Autistic Person?

Human pet guy showed up on my dash again (via puppy play sick skateboard tricks post) and I decided to look at what he was up to these days, and

what do you mean he was born in 1995?

✨ICELAND✨

Did you have a blast? Did you see furry horses? Whales? Northern lights? Puffins?

I saw furry horses

And sheep!

And some whale (blows)!

As well as dolphins (which are also whales, who knew?)

And northern lights (3 nights!)

No puffins, though. The little rascals decided that they had to "follow their inner instincts" and migrate away.
