its so frustrating seeing people adopt terms meant to expand or break out of the binary and just make another binary with it. afab and amab were supposed to be terms (coined by trans women i think) criticizing the way we assigned shit at birth, they don't indicate anything about your body just what people at birth assumed about it!! trans masculine and trans feminine are meant to include nonbinary ppl who align with those terms but can have a wide variety of presentation that gets them read as all kinds of shit but from the posts people make you'd think they're just fancy ways of saying trans man and trans woman.
so many people think of race as like. an additional stat block or something you can tack on for more Oppression Points and not a crucial piece when it comes to understanding how and why the gender binary exists the way it does. any theory of gender is worse than useless without an in depth acknowledgment of race and i'm overr ittt I'M SOOOO OVERR ITT I CAN'T STAND THISSSSSSSS SOMEONE GET ME OUT OF THIS WHITE HELL HOLE AAAAA

i really gotta get better about listening to my own brain and needs when i'm making things. i've been working on a video and i'm almost finished (yippee!!), but drawing this One Specific Frame was giving me trouble. i could have just brute-forced my way through it and finalized the initial sketch, since it was relatively good enough. but instead i left it and took a day off from working on the project, let myself recharge, and came back to the sketch with fresh eyes today. and what do you know, my redrawn sketch today is WAY better! now, i can finalize that frame and be genuinely proud of it, instead of just powering through on something i was less than happy with.
i hadn't done any other art stuff that day when i couldn't get my sketches to look right, so letting myself stop and have a break from the project felt sort of "unearned" i guess. but it's just. what i needed! and the break did what i needed it to do; i was able to come back later and make something i could be proud of.
anyway i guess this is me saying that, if you're like me and have this weird morality-complex about letting yourself rest, it's ok to take breaks, even if you feel like you haven't "earned" one yet :)

growing older is weird once you start becoming more emotionally mature than your parents and start realizing how emotionally instable they are and that none of these fuckers should be allowed to have kids in the first place

Maybe doing another or a new hobby can help ! Maybe baking could help, even if u are not really good at it from the get go, is a fun thing to try out
i really should try to get into other hobbies but its very hard!! i have really bad perfectionism habits and immediately drop things im not instantly good at jfdgn and the Horrors make it hard for me to squeeze dopamine out of anything </3

why the fuck can’t my family have one good day? Why do they always have to fight and get mad at me for everything. I’m so done.
