Skin Cells

They say that every 7 years your skin cells are completely replenished.

Hair is a little different but we’ll get to that in a minute.

If it’s true that every 7 years all of the cells on your skin shed and are regenerated,

In one year I’ll be free of you.

Every inch of skin your hands touched without consent will be gone.

Every place you defiled with your manipulative tactics will forever be laid to rest.

In one year I’ll be free of you.

7 years is not and insignificant amount of time.

And it only took 6months for you to leave me with a lifetime of trauma.

But in one year I’ll be free of you.

7 years of thinking I’m not good enough

And a lifetime of insecurities that I’m trying to heal from.

Yet in one year, I’ll be free of you.

7 years is a long fucking time.

And while I’m over you completely, I still have the scars inside.

In one year I’ll be free of you.

Every inch of skin you defiled will be gone and replaced with skin touched only by people I have given explicit consent to.

In one year, I’ll be completely new.

How dare you.

I am a human being.

I am a human being who loves.

I am a human being who loves another human being who is different from me in many ways including the color of our skin.

I am a human being.

I am a human being who is different .

I am a human being who who does not fully identify with the gender I was assigned at birth and who celebrates the fluidity of my identity and the beauty of being able to love someone so fully no matter how they identify.

I am a human being.

I am a human being who is scared.

I am a human being who is scared to walk outside my home for fear of repercussions based on who I love, what I am, and what I believe in.

I am a human being.

I am a human being who believes.

I am a human being who believes in the undeniable FACT that other humans deserve rights and protections regardless of skin color, gender identity, sexual identity, ideology, religion, or income.

I am a human being.

I am a human being who breaks.

I am a human being who has a permanent medical condition that will paralyze me if I have to carry a pregnancy to full term, regardless of whether I want to or not.

I am a human being.

I am a human being who lives on a planet that is actively crying out for help because other humans have decided that their greed is more important than the very soil they walk on.

I am a human being.

I am a human being who worked.

I am a human being who used to work a 40 hour salaried job that barely paid for gas week to week and was struggling to live even with no rent and no bills.

I am a human being.

I am a human being who is disabled.

I am a human being who upon applying for disability was told that I might have to wait three years in order to receive help from the very program designed to help people like me. The program who can barely pay me just enough to get gas and groceries week to week. The program that refuses to pay a livable wage to someone who deserves to live in this world as much as someone who works. Someone who deserves to do more than just survive.

So.

How dare you.

How dare you try to tell me that I’m wrong for being a human being.

How dare you for trying to tell me who to love when you don’t love anything or anyone other than yourself.

How DARE you try to tell ME how to identify when you’re so insecure about your own identity that you feel the need to hate others for the sake of your own self.

HOW DARE YOU try to make me sacrifice MYSELF for the sake of a cluster of cells that doesn’t have sentience yet, who has no life, no emotions, no BREATH.

HOW DARE YOU try to make me feel scared to walk out of my front door

How dare you try to make me feel like I’m not good enough to live on this dying planet.

How DARE YOU CONTINUE TO GO ON WITH PRACTICES THAT WILL LEAD TO CERTAIN DEATH FOR THE ONLY PLANET WE HAVE EVER KNOWN.

How dare you try to take away my voice while we human beings are screaming for change. While we human beings are screaming for help. While we human beings are screaming for life. While we HUMAN BEINGS are screaming just to survive.

How dare you.

im back c:

details under the cut

OK. i have much to say so get ready...

first of all... the tails... i just think its fun. i mean its oz theres magic one of them is green so. why not tails too.

the first one is beach day 🤭 its been a long day galindas been fooling around w fiyero and the other boys and nessa allll day she needs a nap (and elphaba is all so accommodating and happy to serve as pillow. shes warm, theres a comforting weight on her tummy, galinda smells good, theres a slight breeze, she can hear her friends playing a few feet away, she has a book to read, its calm...) also dw abt galinda getting sunburnt... shes reapplied sunscreen like 10 times now (w the help of both elphaba and fiyero) and she doesnt burn so easily more like she tans... u should probably be worried abt boq. also abt elphabas leg hair.. i just dont think she shaves or anything. i could go more into details but weve already had a lengthy talk abt hairiness over here on the blur so. ill leave it at that.

the second drawing was my first elphaba with a tail drawing! i was thinking abt how having a tail would affect her like the green skin. at first i was thinking she was the only one with a tail or maybe only munchkins have tails and then i was like oh fuck it everybody have tails so i also drew galindas c: i think elphaba would usually wear a cover on her tail like she covers every part of her body and galinda would wear bows and stuff just dazzle it out

also in the galinda drawing shes writing a letter :

"Dearest, darlingest Momsie and Popsicle,

Elphie and I are doing splendidously. She amazifies me further every new tomorrow. I miss you both so ever very much."

lol

OK MOVING ON. i drew gelphie in cynthia and ariana suits cuz they were just soooooo good i hope u love it

the next drawing i drew inspired by the 2001 revamp of the lyrics and they say "who would love the wicked, who would ever kiss their eyes, who would lay a lily on their grave"

i also made it my playlist's cover! you can check it out here, tell me ur thoughts if u listen to it c:

I DREW WICKED X SEVERANCE i have SO MANY THOUGHTS abt it but i dont wanna write them down rn just know its not exactly 1:1... in order its my version of fiyero, boq, galinda, and elphaba

urm and then poison ivy 🤤 with braids that turn into plants..... i just thought the idea was inspired

next doodle is dulcibear and baby elphaba bc i do believe dulci wouldve given her affection as much as she coulld, when she wasnt busy

and a doodle i did for moot who gave me nitro. theyre looking at each other with autism in the eyes

okay im done i hope u have a nice day!

Am I Glinda???

Thinking again of Glinda having separation anxiety when it comes to Elphaba once they're together again since she had been "dead" for so long and Elphie recognizing that trauma and being supportive of her worries. Like:

Glinda being super clingy in her sleep and always wanting to be all over her even when it's probably a hundred degrees outside

Glinda wanting to sit outside of the bathroom door whenever Elphie takes a bath or shower without her (it isn't exactly often but every now and then)

For the first few months sticking to a very structured routine that they both follow so there are no surprises (mostly)

Glinda always touching her in some way whenever they go out together (hand holding, arms looped together, touches on the lower back)

Elphaba letting Glinda keep one of the cloaks she stole from her old wardrobe before the palace burned all of Elphaba's things (and whatever it is Glinda happens to steal now)

Simply admitting that she was a part of Glinda's trauma is really difficult for Elphaba, but Glinda has admitted that she didn't exactly help Elphie when she truly needed it and that there was much more she could have done. Now all they need to focus on is healing together.

It's my 10 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Holy shit

And remember kids, the next time someone tells you "the government wouldn't do that!" – they're gaslighting you. Bark at them. Bare your teeth and let them know that you know what you saw and what you heard. Don't move an inch from the standpoint you have, don't let anybody talk you out of the picture you've made yourself. It's not "oh yes they would", anymore. It's "they do and they will continue to do so." Be attentive. You know what's happening. Be loud about it.

[winklem]

oh my god...

so the first screenshot is trying to look this up on tiktok normally, "donald trump rigged election" and it says that search violates community guidelines.

the second screenshot is looking up the same exact thing, but with a (australian) vpn on. canadian vpn didn't fix it fyi.

THIS is exactly the type of censorship to be looking out for on tiktok. this actually is crazy.

Reminder for when he “saves” it. He was the one who wanted this, and now he gets to be the hero and win favour with young constituents. Don’t give him the credit for fixing his own problem.

A Statue.

If I ever have a statue erected in my honor,

I DARE violators to put their hands all over me.

I dare them to wear my metal down to bare bronze so that everyone can see their reflection from my breast.

I dare them to be looked at with disgust, while others know that my body my mind my soul made a difference so impactful that they cast me in a material so permanent that it will outlive them.

I dare them to think about the legacy I left behind.

I dare them to think on why it’s not them in the statue position.

If I ever have a statue erected in my honor, in my likeness

I encourage the bystanders to speak up when they see someone reaching for my body inappropriately.

I encourage the pictures to be taken out of shame and disgust.

I encourage those pictures to be shared to outlets in outrage that such disrespect was directed at someone who can no longer defend themself.

I encourage the bystanders to become aware.

I encourage the bystanders to educate and encourage others to educate themselves.

If I ever have a statue erected in my honor, in my likeness, bearing my heart and my legacy,

I hope the world will be a better place.

I hope I have created a better future for the children I will never have.

I hope the people who see the way I’ve been polished, stop and think.

I hope my memory provokes thought.

If I ever have a statue erected in my honor, in my likeness, bearing my heart and legacy,

I can only imagine it will invoke the feeling of warmth and the memory of kindness.

I can only imagine the parts of me that become polished over time.

I can only imagine the lessons that will stay unlearned.

Q: and A:

Ask me anything you want and I'll answer as truthfully as I can!!

[winklem]

So today I was called out of class by the officer at my school for a meeting with my assistant principal, during which I was told that a faculty member had reported to administration that she had seen a “boy” leaving the girl’s bathroom. That would be me. Based on this meeting, there is evidently no possibility of a gender neutral bathroom at my school due to “the way the building is”, not even opening a staff bathroom for use by transgender students. The presence of an apparent “gender neutral” bathroom at my school is unknown to administration. When I pointed out the sole bathroom in the school with gender neutral signage, I was told that exclusively applies to special needs students, which is indicated nowhere. There is clearly no policy in place for dealing with transgender students, however I was not specifically denied access to my preferred bathroom. Instead I was told that it is not a rule violation for me to use my preferred bathroom, until someone tells me they see it unfit for me to be in the bathroom, at which point it becomes one and I must leave. Basically, my ability to safely use the bathroom at school is up to the discretion of whoever may notice me attempting to do so. My mom and I have a meeting to discuss this with her on Wednesday afternoon (in addition to me being told to return to speak with her again on Monday morning), but until then and potentially after then, depending on what happens at that meeting, I have nowhere except the single-stalled bathroom in one of my morning classes out in the trailers that I can safely use the bathroom. I’d just like to use the bathroom. But apparently that’s much easier said than done.
