#they don't fucking care

[kat2107]

I feel like y'all therapists did a fucking shit job explaining the concept of forgiving your abuser to you.

Fucking hell.

it's not about pardoning what they did.

It's about saying: So this shit happened, but I'm no longer binding myself to you through it.

You wronged me. But that is not my problem anymore. I will work on moving on.

Forgiving your abuser means freeing yourself from them, not letting them of the hook.

You don't set them free. You cut your OWN chain, not theirs.

Because holding onto the relationship formed through the abuse in your thoughts will constantly tear open those wounds.

They are not punished by you churning that shit in your head constantly in fear and hate. You are!

That's why forgiveness is so important. It's releasing the hate and the fear that keeps you bound to the people who hurt you.

love seeing my mum becoming anti-police right before my eyes. nothing will radicalise you like experiencing two murders and seeing the police do fuck all about it

One free practice and qualy on Friday is not only going to kill of viewers but it might also result in the death of a driver.

I am no longer sugar coating this.

Imagine a rookie at a new track that he has never raced in with basically 0 time for set up or learning to practice being thrown in a qualifying. Not to imagine what would happen in a wet qualy.

You are asking for someone to get hurt.

I know this is a tiny part of the wider problems born of diet culture, fatphobia, classism, and racism but like god the idea that "healthy" food must inherently taste bad has completely ruined us as a society.

Your personal triggers and squicks do not get to determine what kind of art other people make.

People make shit. It's what we do. We make shit to explore, to inspire, to explain, to understand, but also to cope, to process, to educate, to warn, to go, "hey, wouldn't that be fucked up? Wild, right?"

Yes, sure, there are things that should be handled with care if they are used at all. But plenty more things are subjective. Some things are just not going to be to your tastes. So go find something that is to your tastes and stop worrying so much about what other people are doing and trying to dictate universal moral precepts about art based on your personal triggers and squicks.

I find possession stories super fucking triggering if I encounter them without warning, especially if they function as a sexual abuse metaphor. I'm not over here campaigning for every horror artist to stop writing possession stories because they make me feel shaky and dissociated. I just check Does The Dog Die before watching certain genres, and I have my husband or roommate preview anything I think might upset me so they can give me more detail. And if I genuinely don't think I can't handle it, I don't watch it. It's that simple.

this was in response to a now deleted tweet by an adult about disney channel "falling off" and I think about it all the time when people my age complain about teen media

I've always been indifferent about my gender, but recently I had to assist a class with a bunch of 3-5 year olds and the instructor asked me what pronouns I used so he could put it with my name on the whiteboard, and I... froze? Like, he asked me if my pronouns were "she/her" multiple times and after answering "whatever" multiple times, I finally gave in with a weak "sure".

Like, it shouldn't have been that hard. I am a female bodied person. But also answering yes and admitting that my pronouns were "she/her" made me feel so incredibly uncomfortable.

And now I'm questioning everything.

palestine is in a complete and utter blackout with israel launching hundreds of its heaviest airstrikes so far across gaza. this is a mass slaughter and we won't even know the extent of the casualties until it's over; israel have cut off telecommunications so they can commit their atrocities in the dark. there is a genocide happening right in front of our eyes and every person who has ever defended israel's "right to defend itself" has the blood of palestinians on their hands. we cannot ignore what is one of the most devastating massacres in human history.

y'all can stop sending me asks about whether i consider femboy a slur btw, this is stupid fucking discourse. just like any other label it is okay to use for yourself, be it as a gender non conforming guy, a non binary person or even a transfem, but just randomly applying it to other people is obviously shitty and can be done with derogatory intent. most use of the word, especially in queer spaces, such as on tumblr, is self describing or about people who self describe as such. you don't have to be comfortable with the term yourself, or with being called that, but that doesn't mean other people using it for themselves or referring to people who use it for themselves is somehow derogatory. we also don't have discourse about whether tomboy is a slur now do we?

going through my old journals as part of therapy homework and i'm reading a section written in the emotional wreckage of a full-on breakdown when i get hit with this line:

There is never a satisfying answer to ‘Why didn’t they love me?’

like wow babe. good fucking point

[bookwyrminspiration]

every time I think about my gender I get confused so I simply stopped thinking about it. it is not my problem

[panstarry]

my final from last semester that i made into a zine. cooked this one up in a couple hours before the critique (the ink was still wet!), so it's very raw and kind of sloppy but the sentiment is there. i love you trans people of color. we are the backbone of this community 🌟
