I want to rely on friends and family, but any time I face hardship, I face it alone. When push comes to shove, I quite literally have no one to rely on but myself. No one ever goes out of their way to help me or even minimally offer emotional support unless I bend over backwards seeking it. And even then, the support is usually minimal. It's depressing.
I feel like I'm always begging for crumbs from most of my friends who rarely go out of their way to contact me of their own volition. And the moment I'm stuck at home with COVID, making me boring to deal with, it's radio silence. So I'm just isolated and alone dealing with it by myself as always. Which is scary and depressing. Why do I always have to be strong and deal with things alone? When I told a coworker I had covid he literally wrote "lol sad." And this is a coworker I literally stuck out my neck for at work. Genuinely, what is wrong with people?
While I want to believe in the goodness of people and the validity of mutual aid, that has not been my experience. My experience has been having to fight tooth and nail for myself in a society hostile to my existence, while those around me, who supposedly care about me, do next to nothing to help. Some of them even dismiss or mock what I'm going through.
I wish I could believe otherwise, but literally every time I go through something, this is my experience.

really everyone you love has something miserably wrong with them or an obvious flaw that won't ever be fixed but like it's up to you what kind of person you can and cannot deal with. someone in my family has anger issues which I can handle and diffuse with no problem, but a person who can't tolerate yelling could not be close to him. another person I know is very anxious & needs constant reassurance and she gets along famously with gentler and more straightforward people than myself, but I can't handle being second guessed all the time. someone who is loosey goosey with their morals wouldn't bother me, but a person with a profound sense of justice makes me feel afraid of getting on their bad side. none of these traits actually make someone a bad person & just because there are personalities I can't handle doesnt mean I'M a bad person either. litany against callout posts for stupid shit and simple incompatibilities we all have to live on this earth together & need to learn how to deal with each other

(ID: a white block over a pale image of the ocean and sky, text inside the block reads “Oppression, painful as it is, is also a question posed by life to each of us: will your heart grow larger, so it holds the universal hurt, or will it grow smaller, so that, in the end, it can contain only your own?” Text inside a white circle below the block credits the quote to Riki Anne Wilchins.)

Btw, that idea that privilege makes you morally evil and suffering makes you morally good is just repackaged versions of the Christian concepts of the evils of luxury and the holiness of martyrdom. Hope this helps!

Los Angeles is the first city to demonstrate what a large scale public rejection of illegal ICE abductions looks like. June 2025.

Also the whole "cis men give advice while women sympathize and listen" thing is so real too. None of my other friends are cis guys so I am not used to this. I'm venting bro I don't necessarily want advice! To be fair, I do the advice thing a bit too, I get wanting to help, but I always couch it in sympathizing with the person and offering it as a suggestion and stressing that its ultimately up to them, not that I am the arbiter of the Right Thing to Do
I swear to god cis men's confidence is wild to me. Even this mild mannered, shy, self conscious cis dude I know still talks down to me like he's an expert at MY job just confidently telling me what I "should" do even though he works in a completely different line of work from me. What's it like to be born with that level of audacity? I know I'm technically a "trans man" or at least transmasc and maybe it's problematic to say it but we are built different that's for sure

#in my interactions with men im sometimes still treated like a woman#i pass more now but not always#esp bc of my voice#and a lot of ppl i interact with know im trans#but regardless this is probably less being treated as a woman#and more that cis dude “well actually” that they probably even do to each other

Oh no my secret identity has been exposed. How did they get this real live footage of me

There are internet websites and blogs usernames who are revealed to be ICE’s tactics to bait and deport any Palestinian immigrants and refugees from California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas: Margaret Brennan, JohnFugelsang, sucka99, catncheeseplz, tsar-george, melishade, redbuddi, it-appears-that-bruno-has-deact, starheal, archanaprasanna, dostoyevsky-official, heyheyKK1, mr-deep-downer, theroguefeminist. Exposed ICE agents’ identities: https://imgflip.com/i/9vz1k7, https://imgflip.com/i/9vz1nh, https://imgflip.com/i/9vz0ws, https://imgflip.com/i/9vz1gi. They too are tasked to draw in anyone who try to help them to scrutinize and threaten them with arrests while tracking them. They take your info and criminalize you with accusations of being pedos etc. Watch out for them! 🇵🇸
Lol I have known one of these people you mention for 13 years. They are one of the few people I've met on Tumblr who knows my actual name and we've shared phone numbers in the past. Get more creative with slander and bait.

Ok apparently the logo turns rainbow when you hover your mouse over it... That's something ig but correct me if im wrong that it seems more subtle than in past years
Where's all of tumblr's pride themed stuff? This is literally THE time when Rainbow Capitalism actually means something. Whatever companies or organizations do or don't display Pride related images will actually say a LOT this year
#just saw someone shitting on pride in a comment#dont know that they even realize tumblr is THE lgbt hellsite#it's easy to forget if tumblr goes the reverse dei route
