Same vibes and colour scheme as last outfit, but different pieces and theme. If you follow my stories, you know that I go on walks with Madame Bissonnette when the weather is comfortable enough for her (so only in spring and fall). I normally only bring my phone for pictures and videos, but last week, I grabbed my DSLR and took pictures of her with sakuras. I’ll post them separately.

Back in March, I met with Mia and Iona to have a picnic with the plum blossoms. As I am still avoiding trains and other crowded/closed spaces, I had to walk 3+ hours to get to the park and back, so that’s why I am wearing a style that would fit sneakers.
We stopped by Fru-Full Umegaoka to get fruit treats and pancakes for our picnic. Sadly, it was really windy that day, so we spent most of the picnic trying to protect the food from the dust. You can see how Iona had to help me detangle my hair from the branches because of the wind.

Some of y'all talk mad shit about about found family yet y'all are totally unequipped or uninterested in taking care of your friends in any tangible way. I don’t care how many “I love you and I want us both to eat well” poems and posts you reblog if you just fucking abandon the people in your real life at the first sign of their issues being too much for you! I don’t care how many fucking orange slices you want to share if you wouldn’t cook for someone bed ridden. Idc how much you care about altruism for fake internet points if all your personal dynamics are rotting and falling apart around you!!
Idk if I’m cynical or just black but tumblr and tiktok and cottagecore people and communist theory reading racist idiots have made me feel like we’re in a new period of romanticization. Of all the things that make life worthwhile and/or all the actions it takes to make life worthwhile, and we’re in this era where that aesthetic is performative.
I think we’re in an era of romanticization of radical action and radically compassionate life… that is somehow synonymous with inaction. I don’t think you get to be cold hearted and friendless and then post videos of James Baldwin online. I don’t think you should post posts about random acts of love and then be nasty to the people who know you personally.
There is this performative persona of compassion here sometimes, and this wanting of unearned solace and reprieve that does not match up with the lack of hardship in some of your lives. I think when you spend time claiming someone else’s hardship and romanticizing their rest, you end up with white women reinventing colonialism and gentrification for the cottagecore of it all. You end up with communists who don’t even understand the interconnectivity of race and class.
You have a generation of people with the right answers staring them in the face and painted on their skin, but with spirits, like just nasty ass personalities, that are incapable of moving the world forward. You love me, and want me to eat well, but will you actually pick up that spoon and cook?
