This is exactly the reason why I must depart from Tumblr, once again. I deeply appreciate everyone here being politically radical and wanting to bring awareness.
However, it has gotten to the point where every time I log onto Tumblr, I am told to feel guilty for existing.
I am striving every day to expand my views and become a more self-aware person. I have been reading White Fragility, taking care to absorb every concept I learn. I already know that I have white privilege, and straight/cis privilege. I know that I am very, VERY fortunate to be where I am.
I have been doing everything I can to learn how to be more open-minded and respectful, in order to become more understanding of other people’s perspectives, experiences, and cultures.
I have been diagnosed with depression this past year, and I am fighting it the best I can so I can become brave enough to actively fight against oppression.
However, the constant shaming that I receive from this website has had a negative affect on my mental health.
Shaming others for something they cannot control, such as race, culture, class, age, sexuality, or gender, is deconstructive and unproductive.
Educating others who are willing to listen is productive.
I hope that whoever is reading this understands that even though you do not have the systemic advantage, you can still hurt others through prejudice.
I also hope you all lead beautiful, loving lives full of clarity and peace. Best wishes.

My first Zentangle art! It took 6 days but I very much enjoyed doodling the paterns. The animal is a maned wolf, one of the most beautiful and weirdest creatures on Earth.

4: Noah from IG: @stillwater_art I experiemented with gradients using copic markers and I had so much fun! It felt like I was coloring something from Lisa Frank
5: Doe from IG: @applemiinte I am so proud of this one. She ended up being everything I wanted her to be.
