anyone else ever reread old books they liked when they were a kid and go “oh yes, that’s why i am this way”

okay but someone who kidnaps you but treats you with so much tenderness and intimacy that you can't help but fall for them.

they take you out of the basement on cold nights and let you cuddle with them under a heap of blankets, they decorate your cage with pillows, stuffies and pretty lights because you hated how plain it was, they cook all your favorite meals and feed them to you before they consider eating their own food. they let you go outside with them when they can tell that you've been going crazy indoors once you promise not to try to run.

sure they might've kidnapped you but they treat you better than anyone has before and you can't help but feel special and cared for and start to really appreciate all that they do for you and slowly but surely, you learn to love them as well.

it’s easy for hobbies to turn into things we avoid because of the pressure we put on ourselves. but i promise, u have nothing to prove. if u enjoy drawing, draw!! it doesn’t have to be museum worthy. ur baking doesn’t need to be master chef worthy every time you do it. hobbies are hobbies because they make you happy and u enjoy doing them. there is no pressure for u to become a professional in everything u enjoy; enjoy it for the lack of pressure. try and let yourself participate in things without tying ur worth to the final products. if it makes you happy, anything that comes from that is worth it.

treasure planet is a fucking phenomenal film and was released during a time where it was destined to be forgotten by everyone

not to be native on main but like, it’s everyone’s responsibility to steward the land they’re on. like you’re required. if you’re in america the people who own the land aren’t around to steward it so pick up the slack. learn how people cultivated and cared for the land you’re on. if you’re an animist there’s really no excuse. man, i get disabilities and stuff (i’m disabled myself) but you gotta do something. get some native grasses and toss em into your yard. mow your grass a little higher. leave a little strip that’s completely untouched so native wildlife can take residence there. cultivate a relationship with the land you’re on, not only for magical reasons (and you WILL get magical benefits) but also because the earth is deserving of love and respect in itself.

i have a question for everyone reblogging this. did this actually encourage you to get involved with your enviroment?

[lunefrog]

while the people saying that this post did encourage them is heartening, the amount of people saying ‘no, i dont own my yard’ is… depressing. so i’ll say it again:

you don’t need to own your yard. you don’t need to own land. that isnt all there is to the land around you. the land around you is your town, your county, your state, your country–when i say ‘care for the land around you’ i do not mean ‘tend your lawn’ i mean ‘research the tribe whose land you are on, research your specific ecoregion, research native species and learn how to make a space for them, pick up trash, pick up litter, get involved with your community, if there is wilderness near you go out and tend it, learn the names of the plants there, learn the language of the tribe, buy native seeds and just throw them in empty lots, learn how to make habitats for native insects and just make them places, you don’t have to do this in the area immediately around you you can do it anywhere just do it please do it just care and encourage others to care’

stop being afraid to do things that are ‘unconventional’ or ‘against the rules.’ legality is not morality and no one is going to give a shit if you do this bare minimum shit anyway. this is the bare minimum. just caring.

Explaining this to kids usually isn’t as hard as people think it is!

I don't know if anyone cares but when I told my little brothers they were 8 and 10, I was 22, I had been out for 5 years with friends and I told my mom she denied it at first. At this point in the story of me, she's starting to accept it.

One day they decided to rename themselves, you could only call them these names for the whole day, they would ignore you if you used their given name. Basically just playing a game. So, I kind of used that opportunity to say "Okay, I'll call you (whatever names they picked) but you guys have to call me Oli or Oliver okay??"

They liked it and that I wanting to play along with them. They did it all day and when they slipped they would facepalm and correct themselves and after a little while I said "what if I told you guys I was a boy? Would that be okay?" I was extremely nervous for some reason.

The older one, 10, says "Oh (girls name) from my class is a girl now and she used to be a boy, like that?"

And I said "Yeah, but instead, I would be a boy now instead of a girl"

Then the younger one, 8, asked, "Do you want us to call you Oli forever then?"

I was like at this point wanting to cry right lol and I said, "I would really like it if you can try your hardest to."

They both just basically said okay and went on doing whatever thing they were doing before. It was eye opening in many ways. Children are VERY open minded. They understand things more often than you think. They will question until they understand enough to get it.

Long story short I was really nervous about telling them but it turned out really well.
