Alright! I wanted to address something!

I made this post a few days ago that I'm certain ruffled a few feathers! But the thing is, this sentiment isn't new. Throughout my years of being on simblr (and real life!), there is always a hard shove of speaking up or remaining silent.

I should start off by saying that making a "bold" (it isn't very bold of me) statement on my blog isn't done for brownie points or engagement. Especially when it is known that speaking up about politics leads to mass unfollowing. If I genuinely cared about my "engagement" I would absolutely shut the hell up. It is absolutely the most isolating thing I could do. Especially in a society that minimizes efforts to being SJW-y or performative. (Which is a conversation in it's own but I digress.)

The thing is, people oftentimes forget there are many levels to activism. There are people that cannot leave their homes due to disability or even safety reasons, and so their online presence does matter. Without people who post from the internet I wouldn't have learned the detail in which Palestine suffers, where/how to protest, a bill that passed in the senate that is meant for voter suppression, and more! Wild!

There are people who have no online presence yet stay involved through their communities. Valid. There are people who post stats online. Also valid. And then there are people who will do absolutely nothing and look for validation in that. That is the intended audience for statements like mine and many others. Because all it took was one post about how gfm's from Palestine are scams for traction to slow down. So when I say something like that, I mean it. Hell, I even took something from my own post because that was the point. I've seen what reblogging gfm's for fellow simblrs can do. I've seen what passing around info about some wcif or a game bug can do. I might as well apply it to vital information as well!

So I leave you guys with a few references:

Why your silence is no longer a currency you can afford

A therapist explains why unplugging does more harm than good (although it is good to take breaks! remember context)

How history does not remember the people who stayed neutral

Remember, a reblog is free. You don't even gotta say anything! Sharing information is free. You still have a voice and you might as well use it. Especially when censorship seems to be all the rage.

(also if you can please email or call your representatives about the SAVE act because damn it's gonna suppress a lot of disabled, trans and/or married people holy shit)

The spring had come without rain, and the dry summer had only worsened things. Still, Vladislav rose early each morning and tended to what crops he'd managed to salvage.

Ruth Alderidge, Aged 19, in Windenburg, England, in 0ctober 1889

Ruth Madeline Alderidge, was born in 1870, to parents Margret, and David Alderidge. As the second of five children, Ruth spent her early years learning to cook, clean, and run a modest household while helping her mother.

After a fire consumed her home in 1883 leaving her the sole survivor, Ruth was forced to Abandon the small farm she had grown up on and seek work in the city as a Scullery Maid.

Though she had always been Clever, life had made her Pessimistic, and Cautious to get close to people causing her to be naturally Unflirty, yet her loyalty for those she holds dear runs deep. Among them Is Matthew Oakley, a steady and kind-Hearted childhood friend, that She is now engaged to. Thier relationship, built on shared experiences and mutual understanding, offers ruth a rare sense of security as she looks towards the future

Vladislav Chekov | an 1890s lookbook! cc linked below the cut!

Following Yuliana's lookbook, we have a mid-1890s Vladislav! He dresses quite casually, as he is more often than not spending his time tending the farm. Like Yuliana, his palette is neutral, primarily due to tight finances--though, even with more money, Vladislav wouldn't put much more effort than required into his dress.

Here, we see Yuliana as she appears in the mid-1890s! Her style is quite simple—practical and feminine. She dresses modestly and mostly wears earthier tones, a result of their lack of money.

The Chekov Farm stands sturdy in the Eastern Russian countryside and has housed the Chekov family for several decades. Vladislav, the only surviving child of impoverished farmers, inherited the homestead after his parents' passing.
