sometimes healing doesn’t look like glowing skin and yoga at sunrise. sometimes it’s just sitting with your pain and not running from it. sometimes it’s making your bed even if you don’t leave it. that counts too.

Reblogging this because the general discourse around sports and exercise is either you go to the gym and lift weight or it doesn't count as sport/exercise.

So first you have the confluence of meaning between sport and exercise and physical activity. Then you have the elimination of what "sport" means in favour of it all being "exercise". And finally "exercise" is just bodybuilding and getting thin (often symultaneously, go figure).

Moving a litle bit every day in things like going for a walk, dancing in the living room, doing light stretches, or even just running errands is physical activity. And you don't need much more. But if you do need some more, or you want to start training strength or agility, then specific exercises like the ones in this video are more than enough. And then, if all of this is boring to you but maybe doing fun things with other people or on your own that don't feel like repeating over and over the same thing would help you, that's where sports come in. Badminton, boules, nordic walking... There are a thousand and not all of them are football or require a competition level of practice.

you know what's really funny just yesterday my contemporary history course went over the elections that brought the rise of nazism in germany and the march on Rome and violence that lead to fascism in italy. I'm really enjoying the historian experience of feeling like Cassandra from The Iliad

Something about the way people talk about Solomon's dismissal of his vulnerability rubs me the wrong way. (I don't have any specific examples, I'm just gonna hope you know what I'm talking about lol.)

I've never seen anything inherently mean, but I have seen comments that seemingly take offense to his "just kiddings" when he expresses his feelings, whether it's romantically or talking about past hardships... And I couldn't pinpoint what it was that confused me about the fandom's responses to that until now.

What Solomon is going through in moments like those is a trauma response. And yes, while trauma responses aren't always beneficial and can sometimes be hurtful to others or the person responding that way themselves, reacting with "negativity" to said responses just makes it worse.

Solomon has an avoidant attachment style, which means he struggles with opening up and being genuine in his feelings even if he wants to. I, myself, am the same way. More often than not, I also follow up a heavier topic with "I'm sorries" or "just kiddings." The thing about this, is it's not meant to be malicious. So, when I see people taking Solomon's comments as if it's a slight to them, I just...??

I can almost guarantee that if those comments where said to him right after he'd attempted to open up, even if it had good intentions, it'd probably make him want to close back up completely. Because there's no patience to his avoidance, no acceptance to why he behaves that way. There's just this perception of not being understood or that his feelings/thoughts aren't safe. It just feels like he's not allowed any grace.

Perfect for the upcoming New Year ...

The greatest difference in how I've been treated as a butch woman has however not been based on my context of space, but rather that of time. And unfortunately that development has been for the worse in my experience, where the last few years I've very much experienced an increase of situations and confrontations for being butch over the past few years. I would say my personal ideal was back in like 2017-2019 maybe where I felt the most acceptence in compination of people minding their own business.

I don't remember meeting much pushback at all actually growing up a tomboy in the 00's and ealry 10's, like a bit less gay acceptance clearly hence why i see it being better later, but I did experience support and understanding from adults around me. And while I was a social outcast at school, the tomboy-then-butch 3 years above me was really generally regarded as cool and popular. Certainly people could have had their thoughts, but personally I didn't experience them being voiced to me at least. But now I feel people speak to me where they in past might have thought the same but in that case knew to not voice it to my face, I am put more into question, both by heterosexuals, but also from other lgbt-people, and all because people feel entitled to know my deal (even when there isn't a deal like they think there is).

Looking at my younger cousins I do think I get it though. I constantly mess up how old the girls are, especially one of them bc she looks so much older than what I and my peers looked like at 13. There's just so much more makeup, so much more femininity, it all seem so much stricter than when I was her age, I really really feel like the gender roles are getting narrower (and maybe people are getting more conforming?) When I grew up I was clearly an outlier, but really not that far from the continuum of how the other girls looked and dressed. And while I have taken the last two stops or so on the butch train as I've matured from a tomboy into a butch adult, I feel like the accepted continuum for women have become stricter so that while I have stayed almost the same, I have still become far more of an outlier than what I used to be just 4 years ago. And along the way people now clearly expect less backlash for putting others under such scrutiny, or they wouldn't feel so emboldend.

At this point someone could tell me they love me every hour on the hour and I would still be convinced that they don’t mean it and that’s I’m bothering them with my existence.
