Happy Deepavali/diwali To Anyone Who Celebrates!! I Think Something I'm Trying To Remember Is That I

How traditional pitchforks were made.

It took 6 years starting from orienting branches

About time we all get diwali trending here

i love you air dried hair i love you no makeup i love you comfortable clothes made out of soft fabrics i love you short nails

I'm genuinely scared that I would have nightmares about this

There is nothing funnier to me than poorly redrawn trollfaces made around the time everyone was mocking people who made rage comics

PLEASE DON’T SCROLL

even if you only reblog, that’s enough

1st of February, 2021

i was debating on whether or not i should post this on tumblr but seeing as there haven’t been posts about this yet, here it is. i’m exposing my real location and nationality but it doesn’t matter.

if you have been active on twitter, you may already know #savemyanmar is trending. long story short, there has been a military coup. several nations have released statements but i want to share insight on what’s happening in the country.

memes about a coup have been circulating around for a couple days and when i slept at 2 am last night, we were still under the rule of the National League for Democracy (NLD). while they are not technically democratic, they are the closest we’ve got. when my mother woke up at 6 this morning, she was notified that the country was now under the rule of the military.

banks services are no longer available. wifi was cut at around 7-8. some people got wifi again earlier but many got it barely thirty minutes ago. this is bad for businesses especially ones that require international communications. additionally, international students like myself are experiencing anxiety; how do we pay for and attend classes if we’re not sure wifi is a given?

myanmar has a long, complicated history with military governments. the last time the military went into rule was in 1962 and only stopped in 2011, following the 2010 elections. there was a huge protest in 1988 lead by students that resulted in lots of death. during the military junta, resources like rice, water, oil, were scarce. the gist is military rule is bad for us.

all of my followers are not myanmar citizens, i’m sure but as part of the international community, please help us. here is a petition that you can sign (although i’m not sure if that can do much). there may be protests in front of myanmar embassies so look out for those. most of all, please help spread awareness. 

the people here are coping with dark humor, primarily in the form of memes but we don’t know how long this rule will last, even though the official statement said only a year. here’s something that pretty much sums up our coping mechanism:

again, even a reblog helps

update :: all telecommunication means will be cut off at 12 am MMT

I FOUND IT GUYS I SPENT HALF AN HOUR LOOKING FOR THIS VIDEO AND ITS HERE

alright since i just had to block a new mutual who slipped under my radar, i’m realizing i haven’t talked about this enough so let me make this clear:

trans women are women and trans men are men

all non-binary/genderqueer identities are legitimate identities

asexuality and aromanticism are legitimate orientations

gender essentialism is unscientific and moronic

having been hurt by cis men is not an excuse to take out that understandable anger on marginalized people who have done nothing to you, go to fucking therapy

terfs are dipshit losers and if you have trans-exclusionary beliefs then you are also a dipshit loser and an embarrassment to the feminist movement

my blog is not a safe space for terf rats, i don’t secretly side with you, and if i clock you for what are you are you’re immediately getting blocked

I have never wanted to be a little woodland creature more in my life than I do after seeing this

stupid leftists and their belief in *checks notes* the intrinsic value of human life

reblog this post to light the diya of the person you reblogged it from <3
