Today is the only day ever for the rest of time that you can reblog this

someone who loves you just told a sweet story about you. someone else just saw your favorite food in the store and almost bought it even though you’re far away. someone walked past your house and thought the garden looked nice. you are never as alone as you feel

[borrowedfeathers]

My life is just a constant journey to seek warmth. No metaphor. I mean like coats and jackets. Getting under the sheets and standing under heat lamps. Soup.

I really appreciate queer spaces online but YALL I'm DYING to be in a physical queer space with physical bodies. my well is depleted.

[borrowedfeathers]

repeat after me:

even if i don’t like my body today i will take care of it

even if i don’t like myself today i will still be patient and kind with myself

even if i do not love myself i will still take care of and be kind to myself, despite not wanting to

there is so much love in friendship, people forget that

new hot take from jamie about to drop but some circles of tumblr are so obsessed with the idea of reclamation that people no longer recognize that it’s perfectly valid to stop hanging around someone just because they’re an asshole. not even necessarily abusive. just a dick.

we are at a point where open transphobia and shittiness toward other ppl for their trans headcanons is considered acceptable because “the person saying it is trans!!” like. okay?? that doesn’t mean it isn’t a dickhead thing to say. that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t have been kept to himself + maybe a few trusted friends to vent to in private. that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be examined + worked on because its a toxic mindset that is harmful not only to himself but also to other trans people.

you guys will see an nd person call someone the r word and say “but they’re autistic!” INSTANTLY when anyone calls that shit out. all the while completely ignoring the fact that they still called another human being a slur out of malice and an intent to hurt. i would see people in my gsa call people they hardly knew the f slur and get confused when said person got upset or asked them to stop. once again, “but i’m gay!”

i’ve received asks before like “my lesbian friends made fun of someone for being a gay man, was that oppressive and homophobic? was that problematic?” and the answer is does it fucking matter? why do you need for it to be systemically oppressive? maybe your friends just fucking suck. regardless of your opinion on if that was oppressive on a systemic level or not, what they did was really shitty and wrong.

like wtf is going on! if someone’s being an asshole then they’re being an asshole and their identity doesn’t negate that! they’re being a toxic prick!! you don’t need any buzzwords to express that someone is being awful to others! your actions affect others and your identity doesn’t change that, end of story

On Jan. 6, 2021, historic lesbian activist, author, and musician Madeline Davis suffered a stroke.

Over the last 3 months, Madeline has traveled from hospital to rehab center and back again. She has struggled to see her needs met in medical centers overburdened by a global pandemic. Madeline’s primary support is her wife Wendy Smiley, but due to COVID-19, most medical centers won’t admit Wendy at all, and those who do permit family to stay for only short periods of time. Because of this, Madeline’s condition has worsened. At the end of March, the decision was made to bring Madeline home, where she could receive home hospice care and be looked after by Wendy, assisted by home healthcare aides.

Under the U.S. health “care” system, Madeline’s home hospice care is covered, but her home healthcare aide service is not. That service costs $16,800 per month.

hey guys I’m a homeless Mexican trans guy living out of my vehicle and I am waiting to hear back on the place I interviewed for however my service provider is going to disconnect if I do not pay the 72 I owe them by tonight. If anyone could please help me so I can move forward and hopefully start a new job and grow from here it would be appreciated. My venmo is yuckybugsnax. Thanks 🙏

sleep time, being one of the last escapes from the work addiction of capitalism, is of course something capitalism would naturally try to rid itself of (through sleep deprivation by constant overworking) or at the very least reframe into an indulgence of capitalist efficiency (quantifying sleep into an ideal amount so one can be maximally mentally and physically prepared to work at the lowest temporal cost, instead of sleeping whenever and waking whenever and working when you feel like it)

[borrowedfeathers]

It's kind of a sobering realization to hit on when it occurs to you that your ideal sleeping configuration, which has been more or less the same all your life, is "being vored by your own bed."

there seem lot positive for ppl who struggle but manage school, but not much for ppl who fail, who drop out, or never able go in firstplace

so just wanting shoutout at fellow ppl who couldn’t manage, who never been able, & may never be able. we’re worth love, too, no matter what knowledge got in head - we’re more than just number.
