Hey everyone, the last Race for Refugees song is gonna have to come out late.

I’ve been putting off making a decision, hoping I’d feel better and have my voice back in time to be able to sing. However, I think I’ve given myself as much recovery time as I can afford, factoring in mixing and mastering, and I still don’t have a voice, plus, I’m just ragged and worn out in general.

So, I don’t think I can hit that deadline of the 30th, and I’m cut up about it tbh. I’m really sorry.

I’ll record it once I’m in better shape, and better rested.

In the meantime, I can at least still get all the regular fiddle tunes done. Maybe I can add an extra one while we’re waiting for the song, so it can still be 30 tunes in 30 days.

I think there’s something to be said for the fact that I used to dread presentations when I was younger but now plan to go out of my way to sign myself up for them so I can improve my public speaking. Me from not even two years ago would’ve never. But now ?? The more the merrier let me at them

my absolutely biggest online pet peeve is US centric people projecting their rich sorority girl bully stereotype of nurses onto everyone else, as if nurses aren't working class and mostly immigrants of colour everywhere else. and when did it become cool to hate on underpaid and exploited workers anyway

When you're famous they let you do anything. You can boot up a computer and softly moan "Mmm... Bill Gates... do me a solid bro and turn on this miracle machine... and then maybe... me ;)" and no one will say anything because you're famous.

Day 1 - Up the Sides and Down the Middle

September's here and so is the first fiddle tune!

You can listen and download the track (and all the other ones coming out this month) for free, here:

I'm doing 30 of these, one a day, for Refugee Action! It's gonna be a lot of work but I can't wait - I'm so happy to be on this journey.

If you like the music, you can sponsor me below and help out Refugee Action:

Refugee Action provide expert advice to those struggling with the UK's unfair and purposely convoluted asylum system, and support people with refugee status settle into their homes and communities.

If you could help out even a little, it would mean a whole lot! Thank you!

Slightly scared to ask this but am I the only old lady on here? Everyone’s bio says they’re 20 and that was… ahem… quite a while ago for me.

Reddit had quite a mix of ages… is tumblr the same?

[hijustanotherfangirl]

Me using tumblr my first year: I don't want to spam anyone so I will make a queue and only post 2 things a day

Me now: they need to see this, and this and this, and th-. Have I just reblogged 15 things in 10mins? yes. Did I add another 5 to my queue? Also yes. Every single time I'm on this hellsite I will make it everyone's problem

Hello new followers

[row-boats3]

A little snippet of an ENCANTO AU I’be been working on, because I’m too excited not to share. I’d love to get some opinions as motivation for where to take this!

Can you guess who this is about 👀

……..

His chest had clenched tightly with burning lungs with each staggering step, but somehow, he kept shuffling forward on burning legs.

It had been slow-going for the past hour or so, but still, he kept on marching forward. At this point, he was sure if he tried to stop he’d end up collapsing.

His glasses had long before been disregarded into his tattered bag - they were far too scratched to see out of anyways - which created a blur in his eyes between where one tree ended or the next began. The blur made it difficult to tell where he was, though Agustin never had a very good sense of direction to begin with, and he was only able to dazedly take in the break of light. Like a wandering child, uncertain but filled with a sudden surge of wonder, he continued to stumble toward that light.

Yet again, his own clumsiness pushed him forward, foot snagging on a vine that caused him to stumble toward an unnoticed gap in the trees, just barely managing to keep on his feet.

The young man coughed as his lungs filled with air in what seemed like the first time all day, making him lightheaded. He looked up, blinking away the daze to get some sort of focus on his surroundings, and suddenly froze between thoughts.

Just below the hill he’d found upon himself, were blurs of color, different shades of brown and red, taking on a similar shape each. He blinked in recognition. They were buildings.

A village.

He had just stumbled into a village.

 It seemed the sight had drained the energy from his body, as his knees buckled and the teen was sent to the ground with a blunt impact to his hands and knees. He heaved slightly, eyes closing tightly as he breathed. He knew he had to be injured, but truly, he was no stranger to pain. It had always been a part of his life, and he couldn’t let it be the thing to debilitate him when he was so close to possible safety.

“Ay, Señor?” A voice had called, as footsteps began to near, quick yet steady. “¿estás bien, hombre?”

i feel like people are skimming over the uk riots in a way that makes me want to tear my hair out. muslims in the uk are in active danger. immigrants in the uk are in active danger. refugees in the uk are in active danger. people of colour in the uk are in active danger. asian communities in the uk are in active danger. black communities in the uk are in active danger.

there are massive far right riots throughout the country right now and people like fucking elon musk and nigel farage are inciting it and still have a platform to speak. people have used three young girls deaths, people's genuine grief in southport, to try and gain traction for their own racist bullshit and it's working.

a lot of refugee charities have been forced to close leaving many people without support, homes, funding, food, etc. if you aren't able to donate please consider sending a message via the conversation over borders campaign! it will send a hopeful, welcoming letter to a refugee in the uk. there is also a guide to staying safe here.

please do your own research and donate to refugee charities, anti-islamophobia charities, mosques who are trying to rebuild after being destroyed, counter protesters, here are some i've heard positive things about but the list is extensive; southport strong together (support for the southport victims and their families), southport mosque rebuilding, riot repair fund, middlesbrough vulnerable residents, nasir mosque rebuilding, hull help for refugees, bristol welcomes migrants,
