Since people liked it i made a toy that works on the computer: https://nick-nonya.itch.io/trampoline-toy Have fun!

My lil bro recently started watching Steven Universe and wanted to make a gem of his favorite characger

Naturally, I obliged.

All those racist asshats trying to justify their views now that the bodycam footage of George Floyd getting arrested was leaked... shut the fuck up.

He complied - he put his hands on the wheel, then on his head.

He had a gun pointed in his face for no reason.

He was having a panic attack.

He was claustrophobic- and before you say shit about him already being in his own car: there is a massive difference between sitting in the front of your own car where you can see and control everything and can see a wide view of the space around you and know there's a lot of room, versus being pushed into the back of a police car with your arms behind your back, unable to move, unable to get a clear view of things, and with a giant wall of reinforced glass blocking you in the back. So shut the fuck up with that attempt at an argument or justification.

He asked to lie down so he could breathe. He asked to lie down so he could breathe.

The officers were not trying to calm him down. They didn't care.

No matter if he was resisting or complying with arrest, or if he was having a panic attack or if he was on drugs, none of that is a reason or justification for the officer to kneel on his neck for 8+ minutes. None of that is justification or a reason for the officers to ignore him pleading that he couldn't breathe, that he was being choked.

The entire time, he was begging for his life.

And if you're gonna say shit like "he said he couldn't breathe while he was still standing" - yeah, having a panic attack does that to you. It's not uncommon, and is actually common sense.

George Floyd was murdered on camera by police. That fact hasn't and will not ever change.

I love how in the new warrior s book, firestar comes back to life for the soul purpose of giving the viewer a reminder THAT PALESTINE IS STILL YET TO BE FREED!!!!!FREE PALESTINE AND DEMAND CEASEFIRE

I just don’t understand how some people can have so much hate in their heart that they hear about someone being shot and they’re immediate reaction is to try to justify why they deserve it.

Justice for Jacob Blake

I'm real surprised how nice this came out

i tried to explain what generational trauma is to someone recently and they were like “oh so because something happened historically, you get to have issues about it now?” and no.... that’s not what that is.

when i was in 8th grade, on my class trip to washington dc, we visited the holocaust museum. it’s a wonderful, extensive, informative place, and it’s a beautiful tribute to the victims. as a jewish kid, i knew what the holocaust was. i’d faced antisemetism every day of my life, and will continue to do so. i knew what had happened to my ancestors not too long ago.

but when i stood in that museum. in the recreation of the cattle trains used to move us to the camps. in the recreation of an auschwitz cabin, staring at the map of the camp. when i saw the pile of shoes and jewelry taken from the victims. when i learned how their hair, so very much like mine, was cut for having texture. and how their teeth were pulled for the gold fillings. i had a panic attack.

it was embarrassing, but i was a shitty little 8th grader, and i tried to hide it. but I couldn’t breathe. it was like there was a band around my chest the entire time i was in the museum. i was surrounded by ghosts, by the whispers of emaciated men and trapped women and crying children.

what is generational trauma?

it’s the psychological idea that trauma can be passed down through multiple different ways. trauma can change you significantly, even rewrite neural pathways and physically change how you think. that, paired with the cycle of subconsciously sharing our trauma with our children, as well as mixing with the trauma we learn as we grow, leads to some really rough patches in our relationships with our identites.

this is a really great 4 minute video from the healing foundation about the trauma carried by aboriginal people in Australia. tw for some really heavy topics, but all presented in a relaxed and serious environment.

what do we do?

well, honestly, i don’t know. it’s not like we’re gonna stop sharing our stories with our descendants, nor our histories. we can’t get rid of things related to our identities that give us our own trauma, the bigotry we face unfortunately isn’t going anywhere.

but being aware of your generational trauma is a good step. it’s not just being “sad” or “sensitive” to history. it’s our history still affecting us today. when your indigenous friends are made upset by discussions of colonization, when your black friends feel the weight of a millenia of racism placed on their shoulders, when your gay friends ask you to please stop using that word, when your trans friends see another historical figure deadnamed and misgendered, when your jewish friends can’t talk about the Shoah without their voices breaking.

so why the fuck are you lecturing us?

our murdered ancestors live on in us, in our eyes, our hearts. we are reminded of them constantly, made painfully aware of who we are and how many people hate us.

we were not supposed to survive, and if most of the world had their way, we wouldn’t have. (no, the allies were not heroes of wwii, you turned us away at your borders and continue to let us die from nazis today. if america had had the option, they wouldn’t have given a shit about jewish victims, but that’s a whole other essay i could write)

it’s time to start acknowledging the past, acknowledging your generational trauma and the trauma of those around you. i’m not making up an excuse to “have issues”. at the time i’m writing this, october 2020, i’m 17. i have felt this weight my entire life, and i will continue to shoulder it, as will everyone else.

my point is, maybe we can shoulder that weight together. maybe then it won’t weigh us down as badly. we have solidarity, and we are tough, and resilient, and strong, and beautiful. your generational trauma is something to be aware of, but not ashamed of. we can do this—change the world for the better. we can break the cycle so our descendants don’t feel as we do.

Genuine Question: Where did the Redtail x Runningwind ship come from? I don't know if it's a particularly popular ship but it's one I haven't found any canon content for (even in Redtail's Debt). Curious to know.
