I will never stop thinking it’s extremely fucked up that creators will get less credit and more shit, for trying to be progressive and inclusive but falling short in some way, than creators who don’t try at all.

And they will never not ‘fall short’ because no creation will accurately reflect the experience and worldview of every member of a marginalized group that’s depicted. Marginalized people are also individuals with wildly different lives from one another, after all.

But of course we don’t tear apart creations that only have white cis straight able characters. We don’t even notice that they’re not even bothering to try … and when we do, too many of us shrug and think it’s too much work to try to make them change.

Instead we do what everyone else already does: pick on the people who are trying because we know they care.

(But when we’re all doing that, with the huge amount of access that modern social media gives us to creators, it’s clear that pressure is nigh unbearable.)

must have been easier to be alive before news traveled so fast and you were only ever aware of a handful of tragedies instead of thousands and thousands of them being delivered to you on a daily basis. why is there even a question of why our generation is so depressed and anxious like I’ll tell you why?? everything i read breaks my heart and my capacity to empathize and be outraged is absolutely maxed out. yeah i’m sad bitch! we’re all sad! there’s no relief!

Does anyone know what this instrument is called? Its like a Marimba but it is very large and made out of huge stones. Listen to that tone! haha Love it!

It’s a type of Vietnamese lithophone (literally rock sound instrument) called a đàn đá. Some ethnomusicologists think that these are likely the oldest type of man made instrument.

she looks like shes having fun lol this is bringing me joy

so you’re telling me that rock is actually the oldest genre

Heres the basic info on this balad, since I don’t actually have the time to do an in-depth analysis. The first time I heard this song was by The Dubliners.

This version is my favorite.

OMG I love this and I am possibly now stalking this band.

@turbotasstic

Now this is the kind of content I signed up for. XD

If you don’t reblog this, why are you even on Tumblr?

I wish to pet all of them.  Even if they bite me, I will pet anyway.

Humans had to breed dogs into strange freaky versions of them selves.

Cats did it by sheer will and mountains of hate.
