As a black person I need to know;

Please put your race, answer, and where you’re from in the tags! Reblog for a bigger sample size blah blah blah thank you

With all the reblogs I’ve been doing for donations for families to leave Gaza, families to get supplies in Gaza, giving doctors medical supplies to help civilians in gaza, and so, so, so many more, you cannot tell me the system isn’t fucked.

The fact that we, many of whom are barely making it through the shit fest that is the American economy, are the ones funding and donating in order to keep these people alive when billionaires, celebrities with millions, pro athletes with millions, and every single rich motherfucker on this planet that could single handedly pay for every donation I have reblogged and every donation I have not reblogged and still afford to love comfortably are not fucking donating a fucking cent is proof that the system is fucked

That’s not even going into the fact that this shouldn’t be fucking happening in the first place and that the us and every other coward country that supports the genocide in Gaza are the ones who are ruining the lives of hundreds of thousands and watching from their little glass boxes as Gaza is glassed and Palestinians run for food or shelter only to get shot in face.

It’s so frustrating not being able to donate to everything I reblog. It’s frustrating that there are people who could meet the goal to these donations without a single repercussion to their quality of life but they won’t . It’s frustrating that so many countries could stop the genocide but they won’t.

So fuck them. They aren’t getting a single cent from me. It’s all going to Palestine. It’s all going to the Congo. It’s all Sudan. It’s going to every person you were too much of a fucking coward not to help. I don’t give a shit about your music or your big game, not when you don’t give a shit about all the people dying in Gaza.

Fuck you and Free Palestine.

we got our first real snow of the season today so now i’m curious

reblog and tag where you’re from (country/state/region, whichever you’re comfortable with)!!!

EDIT: i realized the kind thing to do would be to include an explanation of what snow cream is for those who aren’t aware. so that’s now under the cut (so as to avoid spoiling those who don’t know)

snow cream is a dessert/treat made by mixing together fresh snow, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract (at least, this is the recipe i grew up with)!! from my perspective, it seems to be most popular in the appalachian region of the united states— speaking personally, i grew up in kentucky and was taught how to make snow cream by my mom (who also grew up in KY, in a rural, working-class farm family).

I know this hc maybe is losing its popularity, but I never see anyone do it well. By this I mean, people hc Alfred as being from New England specifically from Massachusetts and see him as some sort of Harvard intellectual.

And yeah but no when I say Alfred is from Massachusetts, his true nature deep down behind that American boy next door facade- he is a Masshole. And he may deny it to everyone else and put on a show that hides his true nature, but drop him back in Massachusetts- see how he acts in his natural habit.

Like I think deep down, he’s got this pissy New England attitude in him and he’s just really good at keeping it in. He swears like a sailor. He drinks a concerning amount of Dunkin’. He is weirdly proud of the most random things that he claims are only in New England but yk are everywhere else. His driving skills are questionable. He has no problem just wearing shorts and a tank top in a blizzard.

He may put on a general northern US accent for everyone else, but once he gets back home it’s “youse” and a lack of pronunciation of the word r (ex: car -> cah). He’s a big patriots fan too.

(I do hc him from New England just cause I do take a regional folk ways approach and I have US states and US cities to fulfill other needs/ cultural influences and discourses).

|| TW for Mormonism, internalised fatphobia, discussions of fatphobia and diets, negative self talk ||

Pls excuse me I’m mildly tipsy (but not tipsy enough that I can’t add a TW bc we respect people here on this blog)

You know what we don’t talk about enough? The idealisation of thinness in the Mormon church.

All the aesthetics and ideals are of these size 0 blonde white women and, shockingly, that’s harmful.

I discovered this week that wearing a skirt is triggering for me bc it makes me look a little bigger and makes my belly relax from the default “must suck in”.

IM NOT EVEN OVERWEIGHT.

I’m a little “bigger” than I “should be” according to society but dear fucking god who cares?? Call the goddamn police, I guess it’s a crime to love food.

I bought a beautiful skirt. It’s got kinda witchy vibes. These cool suns and moons and it’s so breathable and comfy. I wore it work. AND GUESS FUCKING WHAT. I was uncomfortable all day.

I looked fucking amazing even tho I was just at work. But my stomach said lol nope you don’t get to be comfy without suffering.

I’ve taken to just measuring the waists of pants I want to buy so I don’t have to try them on (usually works just fine) so I did that to a pair of jeans I was wanting to buy (I’d already bought a smaller size that didn’t fit and I was doing a great job feeling neutral about having to size up)

So I measured the waist and saw it should fit but out of paranoia I measured my own and IT HAD GONE UP 10 FUCKING CENTIMETRES.

So I tried the jeans on anyway bc hey, why not, I feel like shit anyway. And it was too tight. Logically I know I was just bloated and shit but there was that little voice in my head that was going “fat, gross, disgusting, whale, etc”

And it sounded just like all the Mormon women that came before me. My mom. My grandmother. My aunt. All women I love and adore and who I don’t have a single memory of when they weren’t on a diet.

I hate that fat phobia is so baked into this religion. I’ve been out for going on 3 years and it’s still fucking affecting me. I can’t wear my beautiful new skirt because it fucks me up too much.

I’m planning to deprogram myself so I can just wear the fucking skirt but I have no idea how long it’ll take. I’ll do it tho. I know that much.

Also guess what. I measured my waist again the next morning. Back down ten centimetres.

If we ever want girls and women and just people in general to feel even slightly normal about their bodies we need to teach them about weight fluctuations and that they’re normal.

I know through experience and research that they’re normal. But I still felt like shit in that moment. It’s just fatphobia, plain and simple.

It’s fun watching other North Americans freak out about WW3 (again) like it’s actually gonna be fought on our soil and not in other countries (such as the ones currently at war) like the previous two world wars.

ok gang I just need to know, what beer do you think Alfred drinks regularly?

I’m arguing PBR just cause it’s so iconically American imo more so than Coors, or Budweiser. But also maybe this is cause the version of Alfred that lives in my head rent free is has the vibes of a male manipulator who listens to dad rock and country with a sprinkling of toxic masculinity (Ik I have cursed thoughts). However I think in regards to favorite beers, Alfred is a Masshole to me so he’s gotta represent so he’s partial to a Sam Adams larger.

Also while I’m here spewing my cursed ideas, what beer do you guys think Matt drinks regularly? I think Matt’s go-to would be a Molson just cause it’s like the Canadian beer. However in terms of favorites, I think Matt is an IPA type of guy cause in my head he’s lowkey a bit of a male manipulator but in this outdoorsy Toronto hipster ass way so I think I he likes a good Amsterdam Boneshaker.

Also if you’re not a beer person, like what alcoholic drinks do you think they drink and why?

back on my bullshit (thinking about national anthems and such)

Hey you! Free collar if you pay shipping!!!

I bought Honey this Lisa Frank collar on Etsy with a martingale upgrade but the martingale made it too big for her. Does anyone with a dog whose neck is between maybe 18-26 inches want it? It’s 18” around when flat at the smallest (13” with the martingale fully pulled) and 27” when flat at the biggest (22” fully pulled). I’ll mail it to you if you pay for shipping!
