Ok here’s a rare type of post but let me tell you something that ANNOYS me about Belos.

It’s not his character…but it’s just that whenever I have a cool drawing idea for him I’m smacked in the face with “this won’t work”..and you may be wondering..”whys that?” It’s because..HES SO LIMITED he’s not but when it comes to things he’d actually do my ideas are discarded. This morning I was thinking “oh imagine belos played the organ! I could draw that!” So I searched up if puritan churches had organs…they were banned. So that’s one drawing idea gone 💔 I think there’s been multiple times this has happened to me idk if anyone else has this struggle with him tho.

I GET IT DOESNT RLLY MATTER BUT ALSO IT DOES I WANNA POTRAY HIM CANONICALLY (When it’s out of my aus I suppose)

The original goat curry recipe I use was made by a white lady. I was making it for a cooking class I was taking at a local college.

I needed to make a practice run of it, but I was skeptical that the flavor would really pop, so I doubled all the spices from the recipe as it was written.

It came out… fine. But afterward I tripled the spices for the one we made in class which came out phenomenal.

i've spent the past few weeks learning to make pasta from scratch and i think everybody should do it actually!!

"Oh no, someone's attracted to the aesthetics of my -punk movement but doesn't know the praxis and history behind it like I do--"

OK. Tell them. Make it a teaching moment. Everyone who's in your movement learned the background from somewhere at some point, maybe this is that point for that person. Give them a jumping off point that they can dive into later.

"Oh but I shouldn't be responsible for teaching baby -punks about the history and the how-tos and--"

OK. Then don't tell them. You don't have to be responsible for teaching people with a budding interest in your group the ins and outs and how-tos. That's fair and valid! It can be a lot of work. Someone else will handle it

"But I'm annoyed that they would try to claim to be part of/be interested in my community without knowing all the details that I know after being in it for months/years/decades, they're dumb, they're posers, they're--"

OK. Then don't engage with them, if it's that bad. Maybe someone else will come around and tell them the history, maybe they'll pick it up on their own, maybe they'll just enjoy the fashion elements for awhile.

"But they shouldn't claim to be part of the -punk community if they don't know the--"

I feel like we have a few options here. People can either talk to them, share the history, share the values, share the praxis. Or they can just chase off anyone who even thinks about dipping a toe in their community, and then wonder why it's dying off later down the line.

I dunno, maybe I'm too naive and patient or whatever. But if people are entering your -punk spaces without knowing The Rundown of what you feel they need to know, maybe being nice about it and informing people instead of immediately assuming stupidity and malicious intent could help you make a new friend. Even the loudest voices in a space had to learn from somewhere, and not everyone has the luxury of being in the space as the History was Happening--whether it's an age thing or a not being aware of the space thing. Or maybe I just don't see what the big deal is behind people hating people who like the aesthetic of something and don't know the behind the scenes history about it yet.

Because I believe in the word 'yet.' No one comes into this world knowing everything about everything, and we're all constantly learning new things. I'm not gonna degrade someone and call them a poser for not knowing what I know. Because if it were me, interested in a scene but getting chased out and called a poser? I wouldn't hit the books and study up, I'd go 'that fuckin sucks, those people sucked' and then avoid anyone and anything having to do with it.

So chase people off and call them posers if you want. But if your community starts dwindling, don't be fucking shocked.

Whoever made that one "picky eaters hate tomatoes but like pizza, ketchup, and marinara sauce 😂😂" meme I need them to grab an actual raw tomato, bite into it like an apple, and then try saying that again

i hate that people don’t have the ability to find memes funny while also still appreciating the art the meme is based on… creep by radiohead is a genuinely great emotional song, careless whisper isnt just a romantic little joke it’s actually such a beautiful and sad song. i dunno… it makes me so sad!!! what do you mean the use of creep in an appropriate scene took you out of the movie?? it’s still a song about that emotion those feelings.. whatever!!!

Why is it that every morning I have to physically throw myself out of bed to get the day started but on the mornings when I say I'm going to finally let myself sleep in I cannot sleep 2 minutes past 8

[solarpunkani]

Sometimes I wish I could wake up and everything is better. Like I’m in a bad dream and when I wake up everything will really be fine and fixed and better. Or like I could sleep for a few years and wake up in the better future we all dream of. No war, no strife, no corrupt politicians and hatred and bigotry. Just the peace we dream for, a world we can be excited to be part of.

Unfortunately, its not that easy. I can’t just sleep and hope I wake up in a better tomorrow. I can’t wish it all away like a bad dream. I can’t sit idly by and cross my fingers and hope the world changes around me with no input from my part.

If we want the solarpunk future, we have to create it. We have to pick up our tools and fight for it. Whether our weapon of choice is a shovel, a pen, our words, our crafts, our community, or any myriad of things I can’t even imagine. We have to draw up our swords and fight for it, fight against those who want to cast our world into darkness and hatred.

The tapestry of our future is made of the threads we weave today. We need to do all we can to ensure the image is one of light and hope.
