I’m proud of you

I’m proud of you for waking up today.

I’m proud of you for breathing today.

I’m proud of you for moving today.

I’m proud of you because look how far you’ve come? Take a moment to take that in. You’ve come so far and over came so so much, and I’m so proud of you and I’m sure the people close to you are too.

Shout out to all my aromantic and/or asexual friends out there

I’m personally very hypersexual, and I’m still trying to figure out my romantic alignment

But y’all are so valid, just know I love you guys so much

THIS IS AN ARO/ACE SAFE SPACE!!!!!

Lets create a house where yelling means we’re having fun. When you hear a door slam you know it was accidentally pulled with too much strength, not slammed out of anger. When there is silence, it is Contentment, not another passive aggressive fight. The dog is no longer barking to protect, he simply just wants the cats to play with him. Let’s create a safe, warm environment that makes you feel like you can breathe, not hold your breath. Let’s stomp on the eggshells we use to tip toe on. Together we will make this house into a home. And welcome all with open arms into this kind and loving space.

May you be freed from every experience that caused you to hide your authentic self.

dyall. people. bitches. stop making a fuss over ppl's identities.

"but they have genderfluid and also mlm in their bio!"

fuckin. so what?????

"but they use it/its pronouns!"

doesnt affect you. shut the fuck up.

"but they use neos and emojis as pronouns!"

literally so what?? it's harmless!!!

"but they wont label themself for me!"

idgaf, not your business.

"but they say they're an animal!"

literally ok? how. does that affect you.

"but they think that theyre something that doesnt even exist!"

yes and that's very cool of them

"but they use animals and nouns as their pronouns!"

do i look like i care? no? that's because i dont.

"but they-!"

DOESNT FUCKING AFFECT YOU. OK. YOU HEAR ME??? IT. DOES. NOT. AFFECT. YOU.

YOU SHOULD NOT CARE SO MUCH ABOUT HOW SOMEONE EXPRESSES THEIR IDENTITY. IT LITERALLY DOES NOT TAKE A N Y T H I N G TO NOT BE AN ASSHOLE.

Idk man I might get torn to shreds for saying this, but I simply cannot understand the new trend, particularly among younger internet users, where people write a laundry list of their triggers in their bio and then expect everyone to read and cater to said list on a PUBLIC PLATFORM.

This is the same mentality that drives people to attack appropriately tagged fics on AO3 for having x y or z content because “How dare you post this when I have trauma about this???” Obviously if someone is going to write a super heavy and highly sensitive fic and NOT tag it properly, they ought to be called out on it. But this isn’t about that, it’s about the people who don’t curate their own content, it’s about the people who enter public spaces and demand that the general public cater to THEM specifically.

Additionally: Listing out your triggers for everyone to see is just ASKING for trolls to come into your inbox and flood you with triggering content. (Unfortunately, as much as we would like to believe otherwise, the internet is full of selfish jerks who don’t give a crap about anybody’s trauma.) Not only this, but the algorithm does not read your bio. The algorithm does not care about your triggers unless YOU make sure to block specific tags and content.

YOU are responsible for curating your own content, and nobody else.

Obviously this is not to say people shouldn’t try to tag their posts for common triggers, because that’s the common courtesy thing to do. But if Becky has a phobia of bees, it is on her to block that tag and curate her feed around it, and she does not get the exclusive right to suddenly demand that nobody talk about bees within a ten mile radius of her. If Alec has a phobia of dogs, then it is well within his right to avoid contact with them, but he doesn’t get to go to a public park and yell at anybody who brings their dog there. It is his responsibility to know his own limits and seek out parks that are dog-free. (If someone brings a dog to a dog-free area, that’s a whole different issue that I won’t be getting into rn but yes, the person who does that is in the wrong there.)

The internet is widely a public space. If you want to create a safe space completely and utterly free of your specific triggers, you have to put the work in to make that space for yourself. You don’t get to ask other internet strangers to do it for you.

I’m saying this out of genuine concern (and admittedly, frustration) because there are so many young teens in fandom nowadays who don’t understand this, and they end up putting themselves in extremely vulnerable and even downright dangerous situations because they don’t understand that putting your well-being in the hands of a stranger is a terrible idea.

Please be safe, and for the love of all that is holy, be reasonable. Curating your content yourself is just as much a protection for you as it is a vital key that allows public communities to function.

Man attempts to attend a women's boxing class. Gets denied. Now he wants the business shut down. Please remember this when they say "why don't you just make your own xyz?" Men are parasites.

Feels intimidated by other men, but he's ok with women feeling intimidated by him being there.

Doesn't mention the fact that he's a man until the end of the conversation. All men do is lie.

If you can get to the crown heights area, especially if you have Class Pass, please check out Boxe Studios. Like all female only spaces, they need you to support and utilize the space.

Leave a positive google review for them creating a genuine safe space.

If you're not in the area you can follow them on ig

Please reblog to help them out.

Can we please stop using the phrase 'junk food'?

No food is 'junk' if it keeps you fed, no matter the nutritional content (or lack of)

Your needs, abilities and circumstances fluctuate and change, so sometimes you'll need to rely on foods that are more convenient/cheaper/readily available

Your diet can fluctuate but your worth doesn't

Never feel ashamed of doing what you need to do just to keep yourself going
