Abandoned Soviet buildings aren’t near as depressing as fast food restaurants around every corner in America
this image is depression
Most of all how placeless and contextless it is. If you live in America, you have been here. No matter where in America you live. No matter how far you run, this place will always find you, and you will always end up there.
I’ve never actually seen what it looked like before Mt. Rushmore…it’s so saddening.

you know what really gets me about this? there’s a photograph. people think the genocide of indigenous people was centuries ago, but here is proof that it happened when photographs were existent. proof that white imperialism was alive and kicking when photographing things was available. while the original events were longer ago than the carving, the defacing of sacred land is still happening.
I mean, the active murder and forced sterilization along with starvation and denial of medical aid are happening TODAY. So, like, it didn’t exactly, you know, “happen recently” so much as it is still happening.
White imperialism is still, very much, “alive and kicking.”
I think in this case, “statue removal” should mean “return the Black Hills mountain range to the Lakota and let them decide what to do about the nonsense marring the face of Six Grandfathers” rather than causing any further damage to a desecrated holy site
Yesterday my boyfriend told me “you’re not any less of a person just because you can do less things” and I wanted to pass that reminder on to other physically and mentally ill/disabled people who might need to hear it.
i can’t talk shit about the pirates of the caribbean films as if elizabeth swann becoming pirate king didn’t hand my entire ass to me and make me the gay i am today
these 2 looks basically defined my sexuality and i’m not afraid to admit it
things pirates of the caribbean got right:
1. will and elizabeth’s love story
2. elizabeth becoming pirate king
3. avoiding sexualizing elizabeth or the other female pirate characters in the first three films by allowing them to wear period-accurate pirate outfits that weren’t tailored to be revealing and impractical for ‘sex appeal’ just because they’re women
4. the entire score but especially the iconic ‘he’s a pirate’ main theme
what if video games were fun and affordable and everyone who worked on making them was given fair compensation without being overworked and also capitalism was dead
