A reminder to the "the American government wouldn't..." crowd. They have. They have made their own internment camps before. They have rounded up innocent citizens and immigrants before. The victims of which are still alive to this day and trying to share their stories with the world, they have been trying to warn us for a long time. George Takei (as seen above) is a famous example of this. He has written about his experiences time and time again, even publishing a book talking about his time in these camps. He may be famous now, but at the time he was just another kid forced from his home. To this day he still firmly dedicates himself to trying to educate and inform people, trying to spread awareness with his platform. The American Government can and will do terrible things. Do not let anyone convince you otherwise.

I used to come on Internet to connect with people when I couldn't in real life. It was so easy to make up small communities and just randomly talk with people around the world. But now it's all IG/youtube/tiktok. And TikTok is being censored in the US (which is mad). YouTube is feeling very boring and it's very passive when you just watch and don't create anything. IG is becoming just ads ads ads.
And, anyway. I never thought I'd feel lonely on the Internet
People have got to stop making Trump and Musk out to be idiots with no awareness of their surroundings, it only devalues the actual harm that they are doing
Musk is not too dumb to know what a Nazi salute looks like
News sources have to use terms like he appears to do this or alleged to do that because of risk of being sued for libel or slander or whatever but we do not
Be for fucking real, they know what they are doing and they are slowly getting more extreme like we are a frog in the pot and the water is slowly boiling around us

I did not care much for Van Gogh because it was on every merch when I was a kid and it was a bit tacky. But I want to the Van Gogh museum when I was in Amsterdam, out of pure curiosity, totally expecting to be underwhelmed, and I still don't have the words to express how beautiful these paintings were 🥺
some hyper famous artists like Van Gogh transcend overratedness and become underrated because they're so normalized. Like I'll look at a van Gogh and I'm like wait this really is amazing you guys don't get it
It’s my hope that Tumblr is still a safe space from political interference when it comes to allowing the users to interact without fear that bots we interact with are sharing misinformation.
ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES.
This is the America that people around you wanted.
